Can I replace the LCD with an LED on Early 2009 24" model?

I have an old 2009 (okay, so not that old) iMac and the LCD has some serious burn-in and it's to the point where I can't use the computer without it hurting my eyes. I'm looking to replace the screen, but the computer still works great and I don't want to have to do this again in four to five years. Any chance I can take an LED display from a 24" Cinema Display and put it in the iMac, or are the connections different?

Personally I would use a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, DVI cable and a $130 DVI monitor, before shelling out for a $500 to $600 for a replacement panel. Or at least until your 100% sure, that there is nothing wrong with the logicboard or graphic's chip.
Optionally a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable would be an even cheaper setup, if you already have an HDMI TV.
Addtitionally I would probably just replace the iMac with another iMac or Mac Mini, because it is real hard to justify spending anything at all on a 5 year old system.

How can I replace the Portal with completely new Flash website?

Can I replace the Portal with completely new Flash website? My customer do not want the JSP UI. Instead, he wants a completely new designed Flash site. Is it possible to do it? How can I deploy a new portal to cover the current one?

If you have a look at some of the code examples which do the equivalent of site maps, you could in theory replace the whole portal desktop with some sort of Flash framework which reads the user's role structure at run time.
I think it is useful to remember that the SAP portal is primarily a business application launchpad. It does that very well. Trying to make it into a Flash launchpad will be challenging.

You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?

Hello
I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
merci

Hey,
Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :)

Can I replace my LCD with a NON-LED LCD??

I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro with the 15in LED LCD. A few months after warranty goes, my screen starts dying on me. It's not the graphics card problem, just a screen problem. Genius bar says it will be about $800 to repair. So I go on ebay and look up screens. My question is, does it HAVE to be an LED screen or can it be a regular LCD? This listing* claims this screen is for the A1226 MBP which is what my MBP is, but the listing says its a "ccfl bulb" LCD and doesn't mention anything about LED. Would this work or not? Thanks guys/girls!

Typically not because the power input to the LED (usually 5 volt) is different than that for a florescent lamp which requires a ballast circuit to work. Also the cable connection design will usually get redesigned between the 2 types and the lighting is part of the LCD screen.

Can I replace x230T lcd with a full hd lcd from Thinkpad Yoga or x240?

Hello.As i mentioned in the title i intend to replace my lcd/digitizer if possible.I want to know if this operation can be performed somehow.I want to replace the hd 1366x768 res,so for example the TPY`s lcd/digitizer with FHD would be perfect.From what i observed on ebay,some lcd suppliers offer this kind of LCD(i don`t know if it is an original item or not) and on the description says it`s 30 pin conectors,others 40 pins ......As far as i know x230t lcd is based on 40 pin conector .Teoreticaly if i find a 40 pin TPY lcd/digitizer it should work fine ,isn`t it!?
Hope to hear you opinions as i`m not very skilful in these type of things and i wouldn`t risk my money and my laptop health if i`m not sure that is truly possible and risk free.
Kind regards,

Hi,
that's impossible to replace x230t screen with ones you've mentioned w/o hard work. The trouble isn't the connector type. x230s uses LVDS signaling for the internal screen, TPY or, for example, x240 (nice screen too) - eDP.
To be clear, x230 has eDP port too, but it's routed to the docking station connector.
In theory, it's possible to connect eDP matrice. For example, via signal converter. But where will you place that unit (pcb with chips) inside of the laptop?

Ext. Quefire drive CDRW broke, can I replace the drive with a NEC or Pionee

I had one of those Quefire 16x10x40 CDRW firewire external drives and now the drive doesn't work. The Mac says it can't find the CDRW/brunner software or drive. I'm assuming the drive is bad and not the enclosure electronics. The drive inside is a Teac CD-W516E.
Would I be able to buy an internal NEC ND-3550 or Pioneer DVR-110 and use it in the same Quefire enclosure electronics?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi
"Next project is to try to burn one of my imovies with idvd"
This won't work with an external drive unless you have iDVD5.01...
For older versions, you need to run PatchBurn/Expert Mode/Install iDVD support, which will give you the option of burning to external drives when you control-click the iDVD burn button twice...

If I get a Helix now, can I replace the chip with a Haswell when that comes out?

Someone on the Lenovo Facebook mentioned that it would be possible to put a Haswell chip in an existing Lenovo convertible, and that doesn't seem right to me because it takes a different slot. Is this legit?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't upgrade the CPU of ultra book, x series or tablets. So what the person said about putting a haswell chip is incorrect.

How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select the "replacement" face from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the face. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position the face from picture B to cover the face on A
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and face B on a separate layer

Can i replace the casing on a 5G with a 6G case?

can i replace the casing on a 5G with a 6G case?

I wouldnt suggest doing that type of modification. Apple will not do that for you. If you are intent on that keyboard and your MB Air has bluetooth spend the extra $20 and get the wireless one.

Can I replace the keys on a MB air with keys of a different style?

So I'm in the market for a MBA, but I'm not the hugest fan of the keyboard. What I am a huge fan of is this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg . I type on this keyboard every day, and it has quite literally become the highlight of my day. Something about it is just so... intuitive. For those who haven't used it, it uses the same key style as the white MacBooks of old, but with a metal background.
My question is this: can I replace the stock keycaps on the MBA with the ones from the other Apple Keyboard?
Will this require an extensive amount of service from Apple, or can I do it myself?
Any and all help is appreciated- thanks for reading.
