Has ANYONE resolved the keyboard backlight issue with the 1.67 15" PB?

Here is the issue. I got a used PB G4 1.67 G4 off of Craigslist on Thursday night. When I picked it up the owner had done a re-install of the OS and it booted to the intro movie. While standing in the dark parking lot the backlight on the keyboard WAS working. I shut the machine off and got into the car to fill out the registration information and I noticed the backlight was NOT on. I pressed the buttons and nothing. I checked the keyboard and mouse system preference and the ambient lighting on/off was NOT there!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem or should I just forget about this feature?
Thank you all for your help.
Blake

I thank you for the response. In your case was the control for the lighting missing from the keyboard system prefs? That is what kills me, it worked one minute and not the next and I can't even see the controls for it.
Thanks again,
blake

    1. Tell more about it, e.g.: OS, a sun jdk or a ibm jdk? 32-bit or 64-bit?
    for ibm jdk, look for *.hpd file within the dir.
    for sun jdk, add startup option -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemError
    Then analyze them with heap analyzer.
    2.MaxPermSize=1024m so big space for class files, really necessary?

  • Does the keyboard make contact with the screen?

    Okay so I bought my macbook a few weeks ago and I am wondering if the keyboard makes contact with the screen of the macbook? If it does, would it be okay for me to put like a piece of looseleaf paper or a piece of computer paper inbetween the screen and the keyboard?

    Sorry about forgetting this part, I have a macbook pro 13 inch

  • Has anyone else honestly had GOOD luck with the Kin TwoM?

    I recently purchased a Refurb Kin TwoM off ebay...I havent yet activated it but I did want to pass this along to others (as I was curious about) that I WAS able to take my old Samsung Intensity to a VZW Store and they transferred all my contacts within about 5 minutes! I wanted to make sure that would work first before anything!  Also, I tested out the wifi @ home and Mcdonalds and it connected just fine!..its like a Wifi-Enable Mp3 player right now and it only cost me $40, so hopefully once i fully activate it the actual PHONE will work!  There are a few quirks Ive noticed like others have pointed out..such as the screen lock doesnt actually lock the volume controls on the side....and the browser is awesome for a basic phone but isnt quite as smooth or 'fluid' for webpages like our Ipod Touch is...(but you really shouldnt compare it to any smart' devices that like) Im not sure if its true for all Kin's but I havent been able to play videos offline like Youtube? anyone else have this issue? I also wish with there were some simple Apps like FB / Twitter/ Maps available but I suppose I cant expect too much!

    I know I'm tempting fate by posting this, but yes, I've been quite happy with my KIN TWOm.
    I got mine originally in June, 2011. A couple of weeks later, it dropped from the holster on a dirt path and must have hit a pebble or something, because a small section of the screen stopped working. VZW sent me a "Certified" replacement (cost me $99 because of the apparent physical damage), and it has been performing fine for the past 13 months.
    Sure, there are some software quirks (It's Microsoft, remember?) but the benefits clearly outweigh those.  Probably the thing I miss most is the lack of any voice recording/command function.  But I love that it has WiFi, and the nice camera and 8GB memory let me take over 400 pictures when my normal camera was stolen on the second day of a trip to Europe.  The Zune music player is nice as well, and the e-mail client, while limited in function, is much nicer than the one on my previous phone.
    As for the actual phone functions, I text more than I talk, and the physical keyboard is very nice for that. As for voice calls, I do that pretty seldom, but have not had any problem with dropped calls, volume, etc.
    OK, the big elephant in the room is the "black screen" that seems to affect so many people. It's happened to me a few times as well. I think my background as a computer guy has helped me deal with this.  When this has happened to me, it's always been when the device was "sleeping", and just didn't want to wake up. Like maybe it wasn't recognizing the interrupt from the "back" button. In those cases, I've found that holding the button down a little longer, opening the keyboard, or briefly pressing the power button will get its attention. Or sometimes I just need to let the device rest for a minute or two and it manages to untie itself.  There have just been a very few times when I've had to do a cold boot (remove/replace the battery).
    You also need to be careful as to how you put the device in your pocket or belt holster. Make sure that you don't position it in a way that the power button can be accidentally pressed when you sit down. There have been a few times when I take the phone out of my pocket and the little power off confirmation box is displayed. If that happens, be careful not to touch "OK" -- unless you want to power off.
    Anyway, maybe mine is living on borrowed time, but overall I've been very happy with it so far.
    I know there are others who have not had such a good experience, but this thread asked for people who were happy with their KINs, and I am.

  • Have the external monitor issues with the rMBP been resolved?

    I am looking to buy a new external monmitor and do not want to spend the $1000 for the Apple TB display. I was looking at the Viewsonic 27"IPS panel. It had gotten good reviews, but all over the internet, and right here in this forum the problems are well documented. The retina MBP does play nice with external monitors. Apple guys at my nearest store in Albany tell me they have heard of no problems whatsoever, I didnt have time to show them all the complaints. So now I am stuck. Anywords of wisdom?
    I am running a 2.6GHz i7 with 16gb and the 500GB SSD
    OS. 10.8.3
    Thanks All.

    I have to use an external monitor with my macbook pro because the screen stopped working a couple months ago. I think the problem with the screen is just a loose connection for the light source because the computer works fine otherwise.  The repair people in town say that it's a bad logic board which will cost 700 euros to fix so I've been using it closed with the monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.  I installed 10.9.2 the other day because I had been using 10.6.8 and there was some software I wanted to use but it needed 10.7 or later. I just assumed 10.9 was safe or better than 10.7 or 10.8 and I didn't do any research or even try to buy or DL them because the links on the apple site led me to 10.9 and I just blindly followed.  So NOW when I open the lid to my macbook pro, the menu at the top of the monitor goes gray and the monitor flicks off for a second, and when it comes back all the running applications have vanished from the desktop, (all the open windows) and I can't type, scroll, mouse.  When I close the lid it works ok, but I really like the isight camera and I think the microphone is better than the one on my external camera, so it was nice to still be able to use them.
    I chatted with someone at apple for a while and he told me to erase my HD and install it again. He said the problems were because I installed it on top of an old OS and that a fresh install will fix all the problems.  I have an empty partition on my mbp and I'm about to try to install on that drive and see if it makes a difference, but I don't totally trust that guy.  I read the transcript of the chat and he gave me a lot of conflicting info.  Does anyone know if it makes a difference to install os 10.9.2 on a totally blank drive, or will the problems on the other partition corrupt everything else?

  • Has anyone's Contact Form quit working with the latest Muse update?

    I've removed Captcha, reCaptcha, and still I'm getting the message, "ERROR: An error occurred. Image verification failed. If you believe this is incorrect, please contact your system administrator or go back and re-submit the form." This form worked perfectly last week! I had to resend my Muse file today with some minor changes (using the updated Muse app) and now my Contact Forms cannot be sent... Any ideas on what's going on.
    I don't know if it's related, but the Business Catalyst servers have been extremely slow today!!!

    After having no luck, I finally ended up going back to a slightly older version of the website file (.muse), pulling out the entire old contact form, and rebuilding it with the updated Contact Form widget from the current version of Muse. This worked. I believe there was just some conflict with a piece of old code sitting on the server. I'd suggest when you reload your site, that you do ALL files, rather than just the "modified" pages.

  • What is the security/authorization issue with the Newsweek app?

    I have tried for a week to figure out what is going on with this.  No one on either side has any suggestions on how to fix the authorization problem.  All was fine until last Friday.  I don't remember doing any updates, but what a mess.

    Just found this note posted here in 2013:

  • Has anyone solved the start-up issue with the iPad2

    Snice IOS 8 my iPad is difficult to start up.  It requires several pressings of the top button.  And even when the screen first delays, the " slide to open" does not until after several attempts. 
    VEry frustrating and time-consuming.
    i have done resets several times, BTW.
    thanks

    Afraid start up is still rough.  Even more button pressing required to access.  Some apps still reluctant to open.  Either slow or simply won't open. 
    THanks  for your comments.

  • Has anyone used an Ipad first generation with the IOS SDK app development kit? If you have or have not did you need more than 16 gigabytes to work with?

    What up with these online custormer assists they don't know what their own product is (ISO SDK app development kit) So this is where they send me when they could have answered me yes or no you need that

    What "online customer assist" are you referring to? The only entity at Apple that could or would help you with this issue is Apple Developer Support. Is that who you contacted?
    In any case, are you referring to the capacity of the iPad itself? If so, a 16GB will be fine for testing unless you have it loaded up with too much stuff for your app to load and run. If that's not what you meant, please clarify.
    Regards.

  • HT6208 Does 7.1.1 Fix the G$&dang issue with the camera being blurry on the iPhone?

    So frustrated! Ever since the 7.0 update all my photos are blurry! And the "fix" with no filter does not work! FIX THIS!

    FIX THIS!
    Who are you talking to?  This is a user-to-user tech support site, not Apple support.  Apple doesn't read let alone respond here.
    Apple isn't going to "fix" this with a software update either, because it's a hardware problem on your phone.  Take your phone to Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

    Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
    I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • Does anyone know of any licensing issues with various Adobe shapes?

    I want to use one of the Adobe shapes available in the shape palette ( paw print) for a commercial product, printing it as part of a decorative design on a product. Has anyone heard of any licensing issues with these custom shapes?

    Never heard of any issues, and I’d be stunned speechless (if you know me, that means very stunned) if there were an issue. They are provided with the program to add value and allow you to create artwork, much of which is expected to be commercial. Go for it and don’t sweat.
