E90 hinge problem

Hello,
I have a nokia E90 that does not "see" when the lid is closed any more.
Both displays are functional, but the phone only uses the internal display, it does not recognize when I close or open it.
Does any one know how the phone detects the opening and closing of the internal display ? For sure there is an internal switch or something like that but I have open the phone and can't figure out where is the broken piece.

Hey Altexandru, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
As Farby above stated, conversation regarding self servicing of device hardware is not permitted as it can cause more harm to your device than good and can also void any existing warranty.
If you are experiencing problems with your device's hardware, I suggest that you take it to your nearest Nokia Care point to be repaired by an expert.
I hope this has helped!

Hinge problem

Hi Everyone, I'm having the same hinge problem as a lot of other people with my Hp Envy m6. It's out of warranty and I'm just wondering what options I have. My laptop is everything to me as I'm in my last year of college and I'm also a DJ so it's an essential part of my life.
The bottom left of my monitor (the black plastic part) is cracked because of the hinges coming loose. I see a lot of other people are having the same problem but this is getting serious on my laptop as the screen is starting to flash if I move the laptop around. Could someone please point me in the right direction as it seems to be a problem with the hardware as a number of others are having the same problem.
Thank you for your time,Brendan Lambe.

Hello Ricky.
All of the questions you asked could have been answered if you had used the search feature. However, as a first timer we like to point you in the right direction. Here goes:
1. There is a search feature that is in the Office folder. It can search the entire device for you, for names, addresses, etc...
2. You can not sure the same connection for two different operations. I mean that: if you want to use MSN and then use Yahoo, you must tell Yahoo to use the connection that MSN is on. This will work every time. The best thing to do is to use a default connection for both. Make sure they use the SAME connection.
3. There is: IM+ by ShapeServices @www.shapeservices.com (pay service), Fring @ www.fring.com (free and it works well. Consider it Skype for your phone).
4. Nope. There is a piece of software that I can not remember the name to that will do this. Someone will post the link for you for sure. Vmoisa, Jafores. You guys around?
Hope this helps.

Portege M100 screen/hinge problem

I have a Portege M100 and have a slight problem with the screen
The left screw has come out & been lost. This has left the screen very "wobbly" and it seems to have popped out of a catch or two, just on the left side as the case/back of screen seem to gape slightly from the front at times down by the hinge.
I would like to try to replace the screw & get it back to "normal" but I can't find any instructions or advice as to how the screen fits - can anyone help me to clip it back together & rplace the screw?
(please don't make comments about how old it is, it's what I have & I can't afford to replace it at the moment!)

Hi
I think there are no manuals or instructions how to replace something on a notebook. Such technical documents are not for public, they only available for authorized service provider.
So I would recommend an ASP because there you can also get the right spare part for your notebook and the technicians help you to repair it. :)

2008 Macbook Air Screen Hinge Problem

Hi all, so my 2008 Macbook Air's hinge got a little loose, and I was told Apple would replace it for free, so I took it to them. HUGE MISTAKE. After the hinge was replaced the screen didn't fully line up when the laptop was closed and the screen started going out like once every 2 weeks, but only for like a tenth of a second so I never really thought it was a problem. It never did this before Apple fixed the loose hinge. About 6 months after the hinge was replaced, it started doing it daily, and shortly after that it did it every time I open the laptop, so now it officially is a problem for me. I brought it back to Apple and they told me that I would have to pay for an expensive new repair or buy a new laptop, even after I explained to them that the laptop was perfectly fine before they replaced the hinge. They said I should have come within 3 months, but I was back at school and it was not a problem at all then, nor did I think it would be. I brought it to a 3rd party repair shop and they did not open the laptop but they said it looks like the screen cable is being pinched by the new hinge since it is not lined up perfectly. Is there anything that can be done or do I have to buy a new laptop?

I'm a college student with no car or Apple store nearby and the laptop was shipped back to me because of that. If I had to go another week without a laptop that would have been disasterous, but more importantly I had no way of knowing it would stop working or that the slight misalignment was anything other than cosmetic, I'm no tech genius and I clearly wasn't the one who put the laptop together wrong. It wasn't even my fault the hinge got loose in the first place! Sigh, I suppose if they can't make this right I hope I can learn to use Windows.

Monitor hinge problem?

I got one of the brand new 21.5 models last month, and in my respects am very happy with it - pleasingly zippy and with no stuck pixels at all, which makes for quite a nice change. But I'm getting a little worried by the monitor hinge - it seems noticeably looser than my previous iMac and I have a regular sensation that the top of the monitor has tilted forward (or the bottom has tilted back, depending on how you look at it), so I keep fiddling with it. It's not massively obvious - I don't see any movement or tilting actually taking place, for example - so it's hard to be sure to what extent I'm simply imagining it, but...is this a known issue with these machines? Should I be concerned?

A slightly belated thank you. The screen feels fairly firm under my finger but I still have a strange sensation of the screen tilting forward over time. However, it may simply be an optical illusion - perhaps there is some subtle difference in the dimensions or orientation of this model that is confusing my eye. In any case, it doesn't seem a serious enough problem to warrant a trip to my nearest Apple service provider (about 15 miles away).

E90 Gallery problem.

Hi all,
Having a problem with gallery on my E90.
Am unable to see any of the photos I take on the phone.
Can take and save photos fine, but the only way I can review them is by connecting up to PC Suite and "exploring" the memory card.
Gallery reports itself as empty when I go into it, yet photos are all there (somewhere in the background).
The E90 is using an 8GB card. This was all working fine until I downloaded maps for the GPS and used Music Manager to upload some (400+) songs in M4A format.
E90 is running v 07.40.1.2 and was built 03/10/2007.
Can anybody help?
What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
Colin.

Thanks lyallp and bg22 for replies.
Will try to copy data around to start with. I have identical 2nd 8GB card, so will format this and copy one piece at a time and try this out first, then will revert to FW update.
Had some luck while playing last night. When I added a folder to the images section of gallery, all of the photos suddenly re-appeared. This did not hold until this morning and photos disappeared again.
If I add and then subsequently delete a new folder, this has the effect of allowing all photos to be seen in gallery.
Does this change the nature of the problem in any way?
Thanks,
Colin.

Nokia E90 case problem.

Hello
I've had my nokia e90 for a year or two now. It works great, its an amazing phone. The only issue I have with it is that the case 'peels off'. Similar to the effect you get when acid rain affects paint on houses. I found a replacement in Malaysia but they couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't get the same problem again and they had no warranty so I didn't take it. In the images I attached,I have a different battery cover because the original has completely corroded.

Unfortunately there is nothing that anyone can do to help you here. We don't know the circumstances that caused it to peel or the substances it's been in contact with.
If you want a genuine case you need to visit a nokia care point and ask them to fit it for you.

G 570 Hinge problem

Hey I bought this lenovo g 570. 6months later had this know issue of hinge so I went back to shop from where I bought it n they got it repaired as it was in warranty. It happened again after 4 months so I tighten up the screws myself, it was working fine. Now its giving problem again and now something is broken inside as it can be seen I went back to shop and they says its not in warranty so they will charge. This is ridiculous because this is know popular problem you guys can't fix it and still charging us to get it fixed every 6 months. Its not my **bleep**ing problem that warranty expired, when it was in warranty why the hell u guys didn't fix it properly. Does it mean we need to pay every 6 months to get it repaired? Does it mean we need to pay because u guys can't find solution?
This is not enough I called customer care service, explained this stupid guy everything n he repeated this "sorry we can't do it for free"stupid line 4-5 times while I'm still trying to explain what's happening. I got frustrated and told him get your manager. Guess what he told me to wait and never came back. I waited for 7 minutes n hung up.
Can anybody help me in this??

When I use g++ link ,an error generate " Undefind sqlcxt(void **, unsigned int *, sqlexd *, const sqlcxp *) " . But I use gcc link ,find there is no error.
How can I resolve it??
Thanks for reply it!

MacBook pro 2012 hinge problem? help!!

here is a video explaing it all (its not my video a found a video with someone having the same problem as me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta6ra8nk4XU
PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS CAUSING IT? WHAT CAUSED IT?
im going to apple tomorrow to get it checked out i jus wana know ^ (the questions)

I have this problem too with my Mid-2012 MBP non-retina. The screen would click once, after being left for a long time, and would be fine after that, until you close it and re-open it again after a long time. It is especially loud in the morning so I think it is temperature dependent. Happened about 3 months after buying. I took it to Apple. First time they replaced the entire screen. They had to since that is the only way to replace the hinge. When I got it back, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. Second time they just tightened the screws securing the display with the unibody. When I got it back the second time, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. The third time they replaced the entire screen AGAIN! When I got it back, the problem was fixed for 2 days, then the screen started clicking again so I'm back to square one. I'm wondering whether I should take it to Apple the forth time, but then again, they've already replaced the screen twice which didn't work so I'm not sure what more they can do. It's either this is normal, which implies the screen hinge is really badly designed or the clicking has nothing to do with the screen at all.

E90 GPS problem

Hello, I have an E90 with fw 210.34.75, 12/4 2008. So its pretty new. I have never been able to use the GPS. When I start it the signal dots are yellow and blinking. When I go to options-maps-satelite info I can se 1-4 black frames with satellite numbers. But I can't get a lock.
I have been outside and waited for 1 hour. Still no lock.
So I installed google maps but with the same result. No lock.
Any ideas?
/RR

Hi, I too had this same problem, with a slight difference. I did get a satellite fix briefly, then no matter what I tried just could not get it to work.
After a lot of searches on sites like this this is what I tried and fingers crossed it seems to work. First of all unlike me do a backup. Fortunately for me I did one 2 days ago so didnt loose much.
Next read about the new firmware download so looked but could only find the 7.24 version, which was already up to date on my E90. Despite this as I was getting desparate I downloaded it anyway, which sends the phone back to factory settings.
Then I did a backup from COMPUTER to phone, which restored my settings, contacts, messages, and so on. (Phew was I happy when it all came back) Hence the advice to backup BEFORE you update.
Next I downloaded the maps from the Nokia site, and installed, then tried and hey presto it worked.
Just one thing I am not sure of, I did see somewhere when I was trying the sat nav it said something about a 3 day trial, oops, will have to see what that means.
Just one other thing, for some thing the only thing that didnt re-install was the calender events, but as I had not had the Phone for that long there was not too many events on the calender, so not too worried about that, also for some odd reason, I did have the Digital Clock installed from the business site, and that also didnt re-install. But again as it was saved on my computer I managed to get that back too.
Oh couple of other things, When I start the maps, it always tries to find any bluetooth signals in the area, I just cancell that, but on the plus side I have just started the maps again, I have 4 to 5 satellite`s and that is in the house and about 10 foot away from a window.
Hope this helps you guys. Sorry its such a long reply but do like to try and make sure all details are set out.

If you're having hinge problems with your Lenovo g570 (Possibly others)

My laptop would make this little popping sounds whenever I would open and close it and it sounded almost like plastic snapping together. Well anyways today I noticed I was missing a screw! On the bottom side of the laptop right next to the hinge that made the noise. I surprisingly found it and put it back in its place an it no longer makes that sound! But if any of you are having that problem I would reccommend tightening the screw and replacing it if your's is missing also.
Just came here to post this, because I was scared my hinge was about to break!

Y50-70 Non-Touch - Broken Hinges Problem

Hello all, 6 Months old Lenovo Y50-70, with regular usage, and no misuse. Has the plastic covering the hinges, broken. Regular usage, such has, over the desk, on an cooling pad, daily usage of 8 hours average (Std. deviation 3 hours). Using caution and care, while packing and removing from a bag. Never holded with a single hand. Never moved with the screen lid open. This is my regular usage. Misuse such as, holding in any position or angle which can warrant damage. Or any intentional act that does warrant to damages. Or any intentional act where, I have tried to alter the hardware of the product. Any unintentional accident, due to lack of diligence, or any in the same meaning. I have done no such misue on the product. I bought this PC in the Middle East (Dubai, U.A.E.). Once I noticed the damages, I alerted the service center. They provided me with a drop-off point. I provided the laptop, and was told that I would receive a call in 3-4 working days. On the 4th working day, I recieved the call. It was a guy who called me. He told me, striaght-away that this damage is not covered under the warranty. Additionally he also said, that he would also confirm the same with this supervisor. This was a bit confusing, if it is unconfirmed then why say it is not under the warranty. Or was he just mentally preparing me that probably I might have to pay for the damages. I had read earlier on this forum, the following. "The investigation into customer reports of hinge mount failures on Y50-70 Touch laptops has concluded. If your laptop is within warranty, and has not otherwise been damaged, please contact Lenovo Service for assistance. Thank you,Amy Tupper
Technical Resolution Lead, Pervasive Issues
Lenovo US"Link : Amy_Lenovo's original post. This is quite inconclusive, as to what I should do. The obvious decision would be to send it to the service center, but the main issue seems to be unanswered.1. Is this a defect? Either manufacturing, design, or in general. Is this defect limited to certain serials? Or batches, if any?2. If this is not a defect, how should I change my regular usage, so that it doesn't warrant such damages in the future? Just these two questions. In-case this is a defect, I can use this forum, as a reference. And which will save some effort in explaining the service center folks. So what is the verdict?

Does anyone know exactly what they do to fix this issue when you send you laptop in for repair under warranty?
The concern here is that it is repaired under warranty, but the problem will occur again after a few weeks.
Do they simple glue everything back together?
Do they loosen the screws in the hinge?
Do they replace the laptop with a new model (a newer manufacter date) that does not have this problem?

Hinge problems on DM4-2165DX

I am having the same problem as everyone else. Both hinges have now failed despite taking excellent care of my laptop, especially since the left one first cracked. An obvious poor design. To open and shut it is now a delicate operation. Will my computer receive further damage in the future due to these hinge covers now being gone? I need help!

If it is just the hinge cover, i doubt it will hurt anything, if it is the hinge itself, then yes it is possible further damage will happen.
