Another Samsung Plasma Internal Crack Thread

Greetings,
Just another of the many threads on Samsung Plasma problems. Long story short, our family saved up Best Buy gift cards (Xmas, Birthdays, etc) for quite some time. We eventually had enough to buy a brand new 60" Samsung Plasma TV for our family room about 6 months ago. This weekend, I was watching TV during the afternoon. I turned the TV off and took the kids out. When I returned, the TV had sound, but no picture. I immediately saw an internal crack inside the TV. Obviously, my first thought was something damaged it, but it just wasn't possible since nobody was in the room during the time and there is absolutely no damage to the outside screen.
I called Best Buy who referred me directly to Samsung since it was under the one year warranty. I am having someone look it over this week. However, after reading the numerous horror stories from all over the web (Best Buy Forum, CNet, etc.) I already know what will happen. Samsung will deny any claim, Best Buy will follow suit and I am out a very expensive TV.
I'm at the early stages with this whole process. I have read about people spending months calling Best Buy and Samsung complaining about this common problem. I have read about consumers filing FTC, BBB, Small Claims, Class Action, etc etc etc. I was hoping to get some advice from people that have had luck getting their TV replaced. Basically, what has worked and what is a waste of time. I appreciate any help. Mike

From reading on many forums, many have to settle for getting the parts for free and have to pay the labor. Very, very few seem to get a fix with no cost.
My opinion is font give up. It's going to suck and be highly annoying/irritating but this IS their problem. Most likely it will go to another Class action that won't pay out for a year.
Sorry you have to go through with this

Problems with Macbook Pro 2,2 DVI to Samsung Plasma 40'' HDMI

Hi all, sorry if this sounds familiar, just want to check I've done everything.
Essentially, I'm attempting to connect the DVI (NOT Mini-DVI) output on my MacBook Pro 2,2 to the HDMI port (labelled HDMI2/DVI) input on my Samsung TV using this cable: http://tinyurl.com/37cfcum
Instead of becoming a second/mirrored display, the MacBook briefly looks as though it is attempting to connect (flash from blue), then nothing. TV displays "No Signal", and on the MacBook, System Preferences > Display gives the settings as if no external monitor were connected, and System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays > Display Connector indicates "No Display Connected".
Macbook connects fine using a DVI to VGA cable to an external 15'' Samsung LCD monitor, using either mirror or dual display.
I've tried the TV's other HDMI port, only to the exact same result.
I've also attempted using a DVI to HDMI adapter instead, similar to this: http://tinyurl.com/353ua4e and using a standard HDMI to HDMI cable from there to the TV, only to get the exact same result. The HDMI cable works brilliantly with the Xbox 360, which is direct HDMI-HDMI.
I've updated the TV to its latest firmware, and have sent off for Snow Leopard in the hope that something might change to help, but I'm not expecting miracles.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could make a suggestion for something I might be missing? I'm really new to the world of Macs, and although I'm enjoying it so far, from what I've heard so far, MacBooks hate HDMI and Samsung TVs
If it's any help, the TV is a Samsung Plasma 40'', model PS42B430, manuf. September 09.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Edit: I'm basically looking to watch high definition TV/Movies; would much prefer not to go down the S-video or Composite route if possible!

Thanks Louie - it seems painful not to use HDMI, I've never really understood Apple's logic behind the anti-copy stuff they've done in the past but I think you're right, it's probably that
Regarding SVGA, connection-wise do you mean DVI->VGA->TV? My TV doesn't have a VGA input port Could I go DVI->VGA->HDMI->TV or DVI->VGA->Component->TV? There's S-video or composite, but I'd prefer to avoid if poss... what do you think?

Display Issues with 50" Samsung Plasma

I have a 50" Samsung Plasma, and I am trying to get the display settings right with my mac mini.
I have used the screen with my 2009 macbook running snow leopard via the mini display port -> hdmi cable with no problems, however, I wanted use it with my 2007 mac mini running tiger, via a dvi-hdmi cable. I got the cable and today have been trying to set the display setting right.
Whatever resolution I set the mini to, it won't fill the tv screen. If I select overscan, the tv keeps loosing the signal. I've been through all the settings on the manual but still to no avail. I could probably live with this as I'm displaying keynotes on a black background, but the picture is really pixilated. And video especially doesn't cope. Really unsure which end is the culprit!
Anyone have any clues. Eventually I am going to split the signal between two screens, but need to get it right on the first one!
Is it Tiger? DO I need to upgrade to leopard or snow leopard (both are at my disposal)

You are halfway there. I have a Samsung LCD and had the same problem. There is a setting on Samsung screens to do this.
For me it is under 'picture options' and is a setting called size. I chose 'screen fit' and it all works like a charm.
Hope that helps.

What is the max. count of internal worker-threads in B1iSN 88?

Hi Experts,
We have an installation of B1iSN 88 with an ECC 6.0 and 54 SAP Business One installation. The Hardware is 8 Core multi-threads processor. 32GB Memory. Now we have a problem with the queuing of Events. What we have found is that the configuration of the internal worker-threads is set to -1(please see below for the settings). We change the settings to xcl.threads=20 and it improves the queuing. My question is what is the max. count of internal worker-threads per core? so that we can know how many worker will set and if we need to upgrade the CPU to 16 Core..
# The max. count of internal worker-threads afforded for the internal Scheduler (defaults to 1)
# The value of 0 means that there is no limit (what in general should not be set up).
# A negative value means the count of threads per available processor
xcl.threads=-1
Regards,
Wilson

You're very welcome.
Yes, they are very nice machines.
What a jump in performance when I swapped out the Pentium 4 620 mine had, for the PD 945, and tossed in 4 GB of memory.
That box will also run the Radeon HD 6570 with no problem too, which is what I put in mine.
The downside of that model is that there are no settings for ahci or raid.
I own or have owned every CMT since the d510 with the exception of the dc7900.
My main PC is now the 8200 Elite CMT which I installed W8.1 on.
It has an i7-2600 processor and 32 GB of memory, 1 TB SATA III hard drive.
I threw in a Radeon HD 6670 in that one.

LENOVO G550 DC-T4500 Tragedy, Internal crack on LCD screen

Well i am new to this forum and when i was looking for ‘Lenovo customer service’ on Google, i realised that there are many people in the same boat as me.
Well i never imagined this to happen to me, but the fact is it has happened. I purchased a new ‘LENOVO G550 DC-T4500’ which is a new laptop by Lenovo at a very low price. Well i had a low budget and was thinking of getting a small netbook, but then I saw this Lenovo ad at center.com and went and purchased it from them on 11th November 2010. I got the laptop in my office and kept it there for a week. Finally after 7 days i took it home. I did not use it instantly because I had to setup many things like Microsoft office etc and just didn’t get the time to do that. Finally after 7 days I opened it up and installed Microsoft office. I used it for like 2 hours. The next day i opened the laptop and then was trying to set the internet, and after an hour the laptop screen went blank. I did not use it even for 4 complete hours. I gave it back to center.com and they asked me whether i dropped it. Well the fact is i never dropped it. It was used just like for four hours in total. I don’t have kids or pets in my house. I stay with my husband and we both are old enough to handle laptops. Well this crack was not an external crack on the screen but an internal crack on the LCD screen. Now isn’t that weird that there is no crack on the laptop but a cack developed on the LCD screen and they say that it has been dropped. Now i don’t know how to prove that i did not drop the laptop, but the real truth is that i never did anything to the laptop for it to develop that internal crack. When i returned it back to center.com i returned it with complete packing because all this time when the laptop was with me it was packed and i opened it up after 7 days and used it for 4 just hours in total.
Center.com told us that Lenovo has rejected the warranty in this case and gave me a number for lenovo’s customer service department. I called up lenovo’s customer service department for like 4 days. Each time a different person answered the phone and gave me different answers. Some said we are looking into it. Finally they made me go crazy then finally one person called and said the same thing, he is looking into the case. After few days he sent an email and said that they can’t help and the crack cannot develop on its own and if I have to get it repaired I have to pay like almost the same amount as that of the laptop. This is ridiculous, absolutely disappointing.
Well even if Lenovo does not help me i would like to tell all those people who are reading this, buying a laptop from Lenovo and then going through all the pain for no mistake of yours is the worst thing that can ever happen to a customer. And no matter how big this company is, but the fact is that they are not worth it. I pray this does not happen to anyone else. I felt cheated and hurt. I will never ever recommend anyone to buy a laptop from Lenovo.

first let me say that I am in know way implying that you broke your screen but you can crack the LCD screen without causing damage to the case you can set something on it and cause a pressure crack pressure from your fingers can crack it as for internal external it appears to be internal because the clear plastic on the outside does not crack like glass there had to be some kind of force to crack the screen they just don't brake they go out from time to time as in no video but not crack

Mobile not covered under warranty for hairline INTERNAL crack appearing without fall or any impact

Job No. W115041604910
I own a Sony Xperia Z1 compact mobile, which I purchased on 29th July, 2014, and around 11th April, 2015, I started to face touch screen problem in the middle region of my mobile. I was playing games on my phone when this issue cropped up.
The issue was very strange as at times the phone would start typing on its own on security pin screen. This lead to all my data being erased!
Later, I noticed that the lower part of the front screen of my mobile had a hairline crack - this was strange as my phone did not have any fall or any impact that would result in an INTERNAL hairline crack with no impact on the exterior of the screen.
I took my mobile to the authorized Sony service center in Koramanagala (Vigneshwar Services) on 16th April, 2015 and on 23th April, 2015 I was provided an estimated bill of Rs. 6000/-.
When I escalated the case by writing to "[email protected]", after multiple call and email exchanges, I was provided the "management" response on the Sony letter head stating that "the display was broken and needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the set and the service estimate for the faulty part is Rs. 6007/-."
I declined to approve the amount for my repair, as my phone is within the warranty period.
Please go through the spec of Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on the below website, where it clearly says that the display is shatterproof;
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_compact-5753.php
Firstly, since the Spec claims that the glass is shatterproof, the crack on my mobile does not void the warranty.
Secondly, since the hairline crack on my mobile has appeared under "mysterious" circumstances and not a result of any fall or human error on my part, I decline paying any repair cost for my mobile. Also, this is an INTERNAL crack only, which will not appear due to a fall.
Thirdly, I should not be penalized for the faulty design issue for this model of Sony mobile.
At one point I would patronize with brand Sony, but sorry to say that is no longer true due to the trauma in dealing with Sony Service Center and Bangalore Regional Office.

I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.
My question;
1. I have repeatedly told that my handset has an INTERNAL crack, which has appeared without any fall or impact. I believe that it is a design fault for which I SHOULD NOT be penalized.
To support my words, I find that similar issues have been reported for the same model across the globe;
http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/sony-xperia-z-cracking-phone-screen-replacement-repair-wa...
Mine is not the only case wherein such cracks have developed. In UK, Sony has already confirmed this issue and agreed to replace the faulty units free of cost. Please read the link below and watch the video as well.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/30/bbcs-watchdog-investigates-xperia-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony...
If in UK, this issue has been owned up by Sony company, should the same not be done in India, as ultimately it is Sony and region should not be a bar for taking such decisions especially in case of design flaws.

This became bug 6560301. And Sun pointed out that it was my bad in not handling spurious wakeups. Java 6 makes spurious wakeups more likely. (My experience is from "never" to "sometimes".)

MBP and Samsung plasma PS-50P96FDR. No 1920 x 1080 mode. Help

I connect my MBP 2.2 GHz to Samsung plasma using DVI-to-VGA adapter. But when I choose 1920x1080 mode on MBP for plasma, TV is showing picture for 2-3 seconds and turning off. It's work only in 1600x1200 mode.
What happend and what should I do?
PS3 work on Full DH Mode properly ...

There is no Options and no overscan button.
And I can't set in 1920x1080 mode frequency other then 59.9Hz. Others are greyed and unavaliable
I think the probles is 59.9Hz. But how can I change it to 60Hz or other?

Issue with streaming on Samsung plasma TV

Recently I watched a live stream from ustreamtv for a motorsports event on my desktop. (ustream.tv/ultra4) While trying to switch to the tv (samsung 8000series plasma, hard wired via cat5) and getting to the stream site it asked for a Flashplayer update. This I cannot do and when asked, Samsung says they only have version 10.0 and do not intend to update with future firmware or software updates to the TV. now what? I was able to watch the same event last year with no issues. I have also contacted ustreamtv asking if they intend to come up with an app for samsung tvs that can then be added to set...no response so far.

Unfortunately, SmartTVs use Android OS and Google (Android) has ended all support for Flash (as of June 2012). There is no more Flash Player for Android, and being as it's now incompatible, there won't be another.
The latest versions that will run on Android are Flash Player 11.1 for Android 2.x and 3.x (11.1.111.73) and Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81).
Those ARE more recent than what you have (10) but they will still most likely get you a "You need the latest Flash Player to view this content" message from most sites.

Want to run a Mac Mini into a 50" Samsung Plasma screen TV...will it work?

The TV is a Samsung PN50B850 Plasma screen with a VGA input: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4505-6482_7-33490381.htm l
Hee are the tech specs: http://ecoustics-cnet.com.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-pn50b850/4507-6482_7-334903 81.html?tag=mncol;psum
From what I can tell it should just plug right into the VGA input on the TV...but my question is am I going to have any issues with resolution or anything like that?
Also, from the pictures it looks like the DVI to VGA adapter that apple offers is only like 3 inches long? Do they make them longer than this? I had planned on mounting the TV on the wall above my fireplace on an arm that tilts and swings out about 2-3 ft and just sitting the Mac Mini on the mantle...anyways I didn't want to go away on vacation, have my mom come over, adjust the TV, and send my Mac Mini to its untimely death:(

mapexvenus
Could you please tell me the exact settings you have on your TV and your mac.
Under what menu are you selecting PC DVI?
What resolution and other settings do you have your mac set to?
Currently I have mine setup like so:
Mac Mini with mini dvi to dvi adaptor then a cable dvd to hdmi.
I then have that hdmi plug into port 2 of my tv that says (HDMI/DVI on it.
On the mac I have resolution set to 1920 x 1080 and i have overscan ticked.
The picture is OK but up close i would not say it is perfectly crisp (especially text) but from a about 6 feet away it seems fine.
Is the text on your screen pin sharp?
Thanks in advance

Dead links - not another "how to remove them" thread

I know this question has been answered a few times but the question is not a "how to remove them" or "what do they mean" question.
I would like to know how this happens other than changing the file directory or information outside of iTunes. Here is a couple things I could think of that I would like some input on.
1. All of my songs that have a ! by them were downloaded off of the internet for free (no shareware, just an actual web site).
2. These songs were already in mp3 format prior to importing them.
3. I made a copy of my iTunes folder on another harddrive, but still run iTunes from the orginal drive.
4. Since I have 2 copies of iTunes song files, I deleted the original source of these files in My Music, which were in WMA format.
Again, I did not change the file information to any of these songs. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Thanks for the information.
This is where you created the '!' links:
"I have 2 harddrive in my PC. "C" is my main drive and "D" is my backup drive. iTunes stores everything on my C drive. I copied this iTunes folder (including songs, playlist info, etc) and pasted it on my D drive."
iTunes operates as a database of information for your music files. The actual music files are stored on your PC, not within iTunes. iTunes keeps absolute references of the music file location and other information in its database file. This allows iTunes to use music files from any location on the PC: different directories/folders on the main HD, another internal drive, an external drive, or a network drive (or any combination of the above). Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded path so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a ‘Broken Link’). Lose, move or corrupt the ‘iTunes Music.itl’ file and your complete Library will ‘vanish’.
Changing (or designating) the 'iTunes Music folder' location in the Preferences does not instruct iTunes where to look for existing songs it currently knows about. It directs iTunes where to store any new songs it Imports, or 'Adds' and copies to its Library organization (if that attribute is selected). This is an important distinction.
You can do one of two things:
1) Move all the files back to the C: drive where the iTunes program expect them to be, and then move them to the D: drive using iTunes
OR
2) Delete all the broken song references within iTunes and Rebuild the Library
The first method will preserve your Library information: Playlists, Ratings, Last Played, Play Count. The second method will lose these attributes.
Song attributes stored directly in each music file are as follows: Artist, Album, Song Title, Year, Comments, Compilation tag, Lyrics, Genre , Grouping, Composer, BPM, Album Artwork, Bit Rate & Kind (Both not tags - inherent to the file itself). You will not lose any of these attributes regardless of the method used to recover your Library.
Either method should be relatively easy to accomplish as long as you can maintain some control over the file moving (it's not rocket science). If your C: drive cannot accept the temporary move of your files, you may be stuck with option 2. If you do not have many important playlists, or care about ratings, playcounts, etc., then option 2 is a bit easier.
Post back with more questions...or with your 'choice'. We'll go from there.

Plasma TV Cracked!

I have a 42" Dynex plasma TV that I LOVE, or at least I did. One of my kids hit it with a toy, there was a flash and loud pop, then black. There is now a crack in one corner (seems to be behind the glass?) Can this be repaired? If so how does the repair cost compare to replacement?

If it's just a crack, then it can be repaired. If it's a crack and the TV does not turn on, then the gas contained between the two panes have more then likely begun to leak out. In which case, indeed, you'd be looking at a total loss.
It's unfortunate this happened. I've had two TV's go out on me in the last year, and I certainly feel your pain. On the plus side, the style of TV that you have has dropped in price dramatically lately. Keep your eye out for good deals! Look at the silver lining, you might upgrade!

Error -50 after failed data move to samsung hybrid internal drive.

The original data move front external WD 3tb USB drive fails with error -36. Then attempting to write any data to that drive dives a -50 error. Only cure I have found is to re-partition the drive. Fixing permissions, verifying drive, repairing drive, deleting .DS files,, etc. Nothing works but a partition recreation. Any clues? 2009 MBP, 6gig ram, 256 g Samsung 840 pro SSD primary drive. 1tb Samsung hybrid as secondary drive.

That particular error happens on occasion after switching a TM drive from one Mac to another, erasing your TM disk/partition, or attaching a new TM drive with the same name as an old one.
You can usually fix this by simply re-selecting your TM drive in TM Preferences > Change Disk.
Since your backups are now working, it's likely ok.
