MacBook Air showing up this sign every now and then on my screen.




I don't know what sign is this. But this comes up every time I use my device. Don't know what is it. Please help.

If it's as John Galt suggests, you may have a stuck or intermittent backlight key that is triggering on it's own.


You might try repeatedly depressing and releasing that individual key very quickly for maybe 50-100 times. That may knock some sense back into it.


You might also try resetting the NVRAM/PRAM:

as well as the SMC:

If that doesn't work, I would contact Apple.
