1/3 of Display is ok 2/3 don`t show a picture

Hello
My Powerbook has broken Display hinges. With an external Monitor the Powerbook works fine. I opend the Display and put in the cable (pulled out when the Display hinges get broken).
The upper third (horizontal) show the normal picture, the other 2/3 of the Display don´t show a picture. The backlight of the display is everywere ok.
Is it posible that the cable is damaged? The cable looks fine.
I make some pictures. Can I post the pictures in the forum?

Hi all-
I have a Powerbook G4 (Aluminum, I think), 12 inch, from 2004.
Just about an hour ago, I sat down at my desk, where my computer was already open, but adjusted the angle of the screen a bit--- and heard a kind of scary "snap" sound (or was it just a loud "click"? I can't tell if I'm being paranoid), and my screen now feels quite a bit "looser" than before.
This freaks me out, obviously, but I'm not sure what's going on. For a while, the hinge had felt a bit "tight" or "sticky"-- but I didn't really think of this as an issue, or even know that other people had problems with this part of the Powerbook (never even knew it was a possibility to use lubricant!).
So now, I am scared that maybe one of the hinges is broken? Would I definitely know if that was the case? Or perhaps it had been getting sticky for a while, but then just "snapped" out of it's stickiness, and is looser again?
Nothing looks different-- and it doesn't necessarily feel like my screen is going to fall off or something. I'm just scared that something bad will happen if I just keep using it normally (I'm very careful with my PB, but I do take it in a laptop bag to work or around town some days-- will jiggling it around like that cause a bigger problem?).
OK, any tips for maintenance or making sure nothing worse happens, I would be so grateful-
Thanks
Samantha

  • How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?

    I just updated Firefox but can't get it to display the message when a pop-up is blocked. Most times I want them blocked but sometimes I need them enabled.

    You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
    You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
    You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
    Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

    In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
    If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page.  At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
    Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often.  This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
    I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector.  Computer monitor first, TV second.  But the thing is only 27 in.  Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display so that the current day always shows on top?

    Is there a way to default the monthly calendar display
    so that the current day always shows on top? ie, I want to always be able to see what's in the future 3-4 weeks, not what's in the past 3-4 weeks. The default monthly display is archaic--only allows you to see through the last day of the month. Suddenly today
    is Oct. 30th, and I have a ton of projects lined up in November, but because I haven't been scrolling down every day, I haven't been aware of them every day. I realize there are other tools in Microsoft to help me stay on task, such as reminders and such,
    but it would be helpful if I could always have the current day display on top of the monthly view so I can quickly scan what's coming up in the next few weeks. 

    Thank you!
    Right, I already have it in Month view. My question is a little more specific--I'd like for the current day to always display at the top. For example, today is Oct. 31st, so the current day is at the bottom of the calendar since it is the last day of the month.
    I can view everything in October that I've already completed. What I can't see are the future weeks because we haven't hit November yet. I'd like for the current day to always display at the top of my calendar so I can always see what's coming in the following
    three - four weeks (whether they're a part of that month or not). I've been to other forums trying to find the answer, and have come across the same exact question from frustrated users--but there seemed to be no solution. So I'm posing the question myself
    in this forum. Do you know if this is possible? What I found from other forums is that Outlook defaults to a physical 'desk' type calendar format--so just as I'd use a paper calendar at my desk, I wouldn't be able to see the following weeks unless I either
    flip the page to that month or I come to the first day of the next month, thereby tearing the the old month off and now only able to see the current month. That format is just so...paper...and archaic! Essentially I want the calendars to loop so it doesn't
    even really matter what month it is--I just always want to see what lies ahead without having to scroll down. With our being in the Technology Age, I'd assume this is a logical expectation, but we may be stuck with the replica version of the paper-desk-calendar
    format until Outlook programmers add this Technology Age feature in newer versions.  
    See, this month kind of messed me up because I have so many projects for November that start tomorrow and next week, but I haven't seen them until this week. I would have been better quipped--at least expecting them--had I been able to see all of those projects
    since last week or the week prior.  
    If there is no solution to this answer, would you know how I can contact Outlook to provide feedback? I'm guessing a newer version is on its way...
    Thanks again in advance!

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • HT2500 how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone?  i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed.  I want to send the file as a file.  Pleas advise.

    how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone?  i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed.  I want to send the file as a file.  Pleas advise.  thank you.

    Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
    You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive.

  • PHP website displays on web server but only text shows on local testing server

    Hi,  I am not a PHP programmer.
    I tried to get the testing server set up in the DW site definition area but was unsuccessful so I am back tracking to first make sure I have a working testing server. So, here is the info:
    I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases.
    The site is up and running on the web.
    I would like to eventually get it running on my local machine to integrate editable regions for use with Adobe Contribute.
    I have latest version of WAMP installed running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0
    I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up  like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost"
    Problem:
    The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc.
    Here is the code for the home page:
                                                                                                                                                                Welcome                         This is the content area.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have spent many hours on this.

    Hi,
    Not sure what you have going on there. One thing I would try is to enclose all your php code within <?php code here ?> not <? code here ?>
    Also ADDT does not work fully with php 5.3.0 as this may also be your error. When you say it only shows text do you mean dynamic text values or just text that is not dynamic?

  • Mini display port hdmi cable and adapter not showing display on LG TV

    Connected my macbook air up to my LG TV 32 inch, via mini displayport - adapter to HDMI and then HDMI cable to HDMI port on the TV.
    the TV is detected on detect displays on the macbook - but the TV says no connection.
    Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
    I've tried both HDMI 1 and 2 ports on the TV and neither can detect a connection, although when first connecting it it did say "connecting" for about 5 seconds before cutting out.

    Seems like many people are experiencing problems with connecting to a tv via mdp-hdmi adapter. I have the same problem connecting my newly bought macbook air to my 4 year old samsung 32 inch. Both screens goes blue and blinks. My mac recognise my tv though, it says samsung when I go to the screenmenu to change resolution.
    I have tried two different adapters, the moshi adapter which Apple recommends and another one. Im experiencing the same problem with both.
    I´ve kinda concluded that it has to be a software problem since my mac has started to act strangely after I tried making it work for 20 minutes.
    Apple please fix -.-

  • How do I display multiple seasons of the same TV Show?

    I have two seasons of the same TV Show which displayed fine, including artwork. But when I purchased the latest season of Stargate Atlantis (Season 4) it displayed the new episodes in the same grouping as Season 3. Additionally, it replaced the Season 3 artwork with Season 4. How do I replace the Season 3 episodes with the correct artwork? How do I display the Seasons separately, but sequentially, the same way Music albums are grouped and displayed?

  • Items to display in list view web part not showing the items setup

    Hi, I have the following issue. I have a list view web part, but the web part is showing more items that the ones setup in the: Number of items to display in list view web part for this view.
    It is because that works when using datasheet view and not a normal view? Is there any technical documentation from Microsoft supporting this?

    thank you for your answer. It is interesting that the mobile view with the items to show in the mobile view doesn't work in the webpart, but it works when you are using datasheet view, but if you uncheck to activate the mobile view, then, the webpart doesn't
    show information, so, it works partially because one part works and not the other.

  • Glossary tab doesn't display and Glossary pop ups don't work

    TCS 3.5 (FrameMaker 10, RoboHelp HTML, version 9)
    Windows XP version 5.1 sp3
    Internet Explorer 8.0
    My apologizes if this should be in a different forum.  Also, from searching I have found that the problem is usually that the DLL has not been loaded -- I have done that. So I am at a loss. Thanks in advance for your help!
    Problem: My .chm output does not have a Glossary tab and the Glossary text pop-ups in my topics do not work.
    Background: Since I am new to TCS 3.5 I'm going to give my entire process. Quite frankly I'm not even sure if my entire process is correct.
    Steps:
    Before I began: I loaded the HHActiveX.dll. Here's the proof:
    Create a blank project.
    Import master page (File > Import > Master Page).
    Load project settings (File > Project Settings > Import).
    Link FrameMaker Book (File > Link > FrameMaker Document)
    Configure Properties (Right-click the book file in RH and click Properties).
    In Properties, select Convert FrameMaker Table of Contents and give a name.
    In Properties, select Convert Glossary and give a name.
    In Project Manager pod, right-click the Glossary topic (System Management GLO) and click Set as Default.
    Update Project (File > Update > Update All).
    Run Glossary Hotspot Wizard (when running wizard, select the glossary topic that was set as default in step 8)
    Edit the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script (change the GlossaryName variable to the Glossary topic created in step 8 and change the GlossaryStyle variable to TextPopUp)
    Run Update Marked Glossary Terms script (In Script Explorer pod, right-click the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script and click Run).
    Run graphicinreferencepages.jsx script (this inserts my note graphics from FM reference pages)
    Configure Microsoft HTML Help layout.  Here's the properties file:
    16. In the properties file I selected the Glossary topic that I had set as my default in step 8.
    17. Click Save and generate.
    Result: In the .chm file (and in View Selected Item in RH) when I click a glossary term in a topic, I get "This program cannot display the webpage". Also, the Glossary tab is not displayed.

    Welcome to our community, Linda
    In RoboHelp, if you open the Glossary pod (View > Pods > Glossary > Select Glossary) do you see terms and definitions listed there?
    If not, that would explain it as the Glossary has no entries.
    Assuming it does have entries, you may simply need to enable the tab by clicking View > Pods > Project Set-up. Expanding the Windows section in the pod and double-clicking your CHM window.
    A CHM window looks like this:
    If you don't see a CHM window, you will need to create one. If you do see a CHM window, double-click it. Then ensure the Glossary is enabled.
    Keep us posted! Rick
