Broken screen/inverter. Help?

Okay, so as the result of my stupidity (ie, coffee + macbook = sad day), my screen has been acting up. This happened actually several months ago, but it was never really bad enough to do anything about it (plus I didn't want to admit to Apple that I spilled). After having it looked at the store and being told I was still covered by my warranty, I sent it into Apple, but they found the coffee and sent it back. Still not a huge deal. Now, however, the small blue line that graced the right hand side of my screen has grown into a blue bar. It's still usable, but annoying. I was also told that my inverter was going out (the screen tends to flicker when it starts to go into sleep mode).
I'm now willing to cough up the cash (just not through Apple, since my warranty is already voided- they said it would be $700). So my question is- would replacing the screen fix the problem? Or is it something else? Overall, I'm expecting to spend about $360-400.

IPhone broken screen warranty help

If I purchase a sealed iPhone with a broken screen, caused by shipping, on ebay still covered by one year warranty...could I have apple fix it or send me a new one?

This is a user to user help forum only so on one here can answer what Apple will do in this situation definitively but IMO, I think it is doubtful that Apple will cover this under warranty since they did not ship the iPhone to you.
Since this eBay seller is reporting this iPhone has a cracked screen but the plastic wrapping has not been removed and is probably selling it for less than you can purchase one from Apple or AT&T which is why you are so interested, but you are risking having Apple cover this under warranty which I would not do but if you want to gamble with this, go for it but have the this eBay seller promise in writing to reimburse you if Apple does not cover this under warranty after you return it to the seller.

Dead Pixels? Broken Screen? HELP!

Hi everyone,
So about 3 weeks ago I bought a brand new 8G iPod touch.
I use it almost every day, and I've never had a problem with it.
Recently, I started getting battery issues which weren't drastic but were obvious enough to bug me, but I let it slide because the amount of time I used the ipod wasn't affected by it.
Just this morning, I was using it, and after I was done I placed it on my desk. Without any use between the time I had put it down, and when I came back for it (About 3 hours), A patch of dead pixels or SOMETHING about the size of a fingernail formed. I got pretty annoyed at this, but I didn't move it anywhere else, because I plan to take it to the store tomorrow and ask about what can be done.
Though, another hour or so after that happened I checked it again, and the patch had gotten bigger.
This kept happening until the patch became a line which strewed across the whole screen.
After that, the screen began to flicker and pulse like a broken TV.
What the heck is going on!?

Hey what happened, did they give you a new one, cause exactly the same thing has happend to mine, I even had it in a protective case thing and grey lines appeared on the screen, But the screen didn't flicker or pluse.
I've only had it 5days!!

ENVY m6-1178sa Broken screen hinge help

Hi, Oh my goodness! I'm having the same problem with my left hinge. The hinge started to crack out of nowhere and the lid screen did not close properly. I've been trying to find a fix for this for months and the problem is I have no idea how to repair it without spending a LOT of money. The monitor still works but in the beginning when the hinge started cracking I stopped closing the lid all together because the screen started separating and the bottom left corner of the screen had a small black patch. It seems as if hp hp should address this issue because it seems to be quite common as I came across this when I googled this problem. I am always very careful with my laptop as I rely on it for word processing. I bought my notebook at best buy 2 years ago (goodbye guarantee/warranty) and I'm in Canada so I'm not even sure if there is any official hp place I could send it to. Please some help me with this, this computer is my main and only one and as a working mom of 4 I cannot afford for the problem to get worse. Any help would be appreciated.

Broken Screen... HELP! DVI/S-Video

Hello Apple Friends,
I recently bought a 2nd hand Titanium G4 Powerbook off a guy I know. I had used it before, and knew it to be a good machine. Unfortunately, the warranty has run out, but then the hinges went. I knew they were about to go and just wanted to use it as a desktop. Unfortunately, I moved house and the screen must have been knocked, and now I can not get a picture. I can tell the computer is still working fine, but the screen isn't.
I've been told its a DVI model and I can plug it into an external screen either using a DVI cable or an S-video cable. Although I understand that monitors take VGA cables. Does anyone have any experience or advice concerning this?
All help welcome.
Tom

You can obtain displays that use different types of interfaces. Many of the displays distributed by Wintel manufacturers, certainly most cheaper ones, still use VGA, but there are many who are also embracing DVI. Apple, for example, has been using DVI technology for several years; all of the currently shipping Cinema displays are DVI. A 20-inch Cinema display is a great companion to a 15-inch PowerBook (even if it has a broken screen).
Having said that, if you have broken hinges, and the computer was subject to some sort of trauma with that display floating around and not latched, you could have jerked loose the display connectors. If that is what happened, reseating the connectors could possibly fix the video on the internal display.
I'd take the machine to a local Apple service provider or Apple Store. They can verify whether that is the case, and they could also verify that your computer will work with a DVI display (that there is not a bigger video issue of some sort) - I'm sure they'd be more than happy to sell you one, too.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

Broken screen, not able to log in, need to do system restore

1. Pavilion dv6500 laptop with broken screen.
2. Operating system: Vista
3.Error message: "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded"
4. Microsoft updates?
I need to know (a) the key stokes required to carry out a system restore to a saved restore point and (b) the key strokes to carry out a hp system recovery without being able to see the screen.
I need this to try to retrieve the data I have on a laptop with a broken screen and vga port. I have been using an HDMI cable to connect it to a monitor but recently, vista stopped allowing me to log into my user account (giving the error above). To fix this I would use safe mode to modify my registry but safe mode does not project through the HDMI port to the external screen.
Therefore, I would like to know (a) the key strokes required to restore to a saved restore point and (b) the key strokes to carry out a hp system recovery without being able to see the screen or use the mouse.
Thanks.

Simplest solution to retrieve data under those circumstances to me would be to remove your HDD
Plug it into another computer by eSata
Then just copy whatever you wanted onto the other HDD.
