Early 2009 15" screen seprates from the case

I noticed that my display is separating from the case, on the bottom of display unit. I Googled it and found a few reports like (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/371...) indicating that Apple has a replacement program in place addressing this as a latent defect. Anyone knows If you're having a display separation issue if Apple is replacing it for free?

unfortunately, I'm abroad and can't get it to a shop. I'll be back to the states in August, and hope to get it fixed then. Luckily, I dont have to move the computer around - I have it on my desk with the screen propped up with a sneaker...

GNU screen shouldnt depend on libelf. Package in extra now doesnt.

Oh yeah, gpm isnt a dependency either.

At least for x86_64, libelf seems to be a dependency. Throws an error about libelf.so.0 when starting screen if it's not installed.
Comment by: Ranguvar on Sun, 11 Oct 2009 04:00:10 +0000
The three lines at the end of the install scriplet are unnecessary now and can cause problems apparently, please remove :)
Also, I cannot confirm libelf dependency, both by using ldd and trying removing libelf, so it should be kept out.

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

My screen goes from the apple icon to battery charge warning. Can't get it off.

Can anybody help??? My screen flashes from the red battery charge icon to the apple icon, and I can't get it off. I have tried pressing the off switch and the button at the bottom at the same time, and I have tried pushing the off switch and the volume up button at the same time. Neither works. Thanks for ANY help!

Did you do the Reset properly? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

The lcd screen of my 15-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2009) is separating from the case. The glue failed due to the heat. How can I get Apple to fix this factory flaw?

The heat vented from the back of the laptop caused the glue to fail and now the screen is separating from back of the lcd case near the hinges. I know for a fact that this issue is known by Apple as I have seen the issue reported at least a dozen times. This laptop was considerably more expensive than any comparable laptop at the time I bought it. I bought it believing that I was buying a quality product from a quality company. I've owned many laptops and I have never seen anything like this. My laptop is out of warranty but this is really besides the point. This is clearly a factory defect that Apple should remedy. What do I need to do to get Apple to fix this design flaw?

Ask Apple.
We're just regular users here, nobody from the company shows up except for the invisible moderator who purges your posts, threads or self. And if any employee is around, the lawyers probably prevent them from identifying themselves.

Where can I download photoshop cs 8.0 I have the serial number from the case but I can't find the Cd that came with it. I can't find where to download the software for it so I can just enter the serial number and download the program.

I am trying to find at least the trial version so that I can enter the serial number that I have on the back of the case and activate the full version so I can get some work I need to get done finished. My laptop was thrown away after a flood in my basement and I believe the cd was still in it. I don't recall ever taking it out.

Forget your existing disc and serial number. They won't work.
Download the new non-activation version of CS2 (applies to CS owners as well) from
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new serial number provided at that link.

Any Director News From Max 2009? Any News From the Director Evangelist?

<rant>
Anything at all? For some time the hints from those “in the know” has been that Director 12 would be the glorious rebirth of the product. But visions of glory are dimming. If indeed version 12 were looking good and on schedule SOME mention at Max, or some freakin’ were, would be warranted.
I looked at the Max Scheduler, http://max.adobe.com/scheduler , and Director isn't even in the Products list. Is Director a total and complete non-entity at Adobe’s big yearly party? Nothing? Adobe’s modus operandi of complete and total silence until a month before release is ridiculous and outdated. I mean for a company that makes so much income from producing products for the Internet they seem to have missed the whole point of “The Information Super Highway”.
The last post I could find on the Director Game Developer List on Google Groups from the Director Evangelist was a terse "Yes. We work closely" reply to a topic about a third party; this about six weeks ago; nothing in the last couple of months at the Adobe dot com forums. Adobe may have him muzzled RE what he can actually say, but he should still be active on forums. Encouragement about the future of the product, if it indeed has one, would be appreciated. I mean just a “Share about your current Director projects” or something would be a good sign. But the silence is deafening. Mr. Partridge, how about some evangelizing?
I don't think this is a case of "no news is good news". Others have been saying for years that Director is dead. It’s still alive (barely) but now I too fear its condition is terminal. Maybe it’s time to just pull the plug and let it die with what dignity it has left. This long lingering death is worse than a product cancellation in a way. At least then we would have an inkling of what the hell is going on.
As for me I’ve been using Unity iPhone for the last six or so months. I have a non-iPhone project planned and this morning for the first time I thought of doing it in Unity instead of Director. I much prefer to develop in Director. I’ve really only used it for 3D for several years but its 3D tech is SO outdated. Something made in Unity will look better by several orders of magnitude. And to end users (read customers) looks are very important.
With no promise of better things to come I’m close to dropping Director from my toolbox to my toybox. And I doubt I’m the only one.
</rant>

I see Flash will now be able to export iPhone apps directly. Although Flash itself will still not run on the iPhone. It would be great if Director had that functionality a well. Even better if apps could run on both the iPhone and Blackberry!

Screen Recordings from the DVD Drive No Longer Permitted

I am a literature professor who teaches books that are often adapted into film. When I give lectures on those books, I like to include short snippets of clips of those films from DVDs to help my students visualize the material, and I do that by doing a screen recording (via screenflow) of the DVD clip I want to teach, so I can drop the film clip into the keynote without breaking stride. Also, I teach from a room without a DVD player and via a macbook air (no dvd player), so carrying around the DVD, stopping the lecture, switching the A/V, priming the DVD, hunting for the 30 second clip, and returning to the Keynote lecture is just not something I want -- or am able -- to do. But the new update of the mac software -- I have OSX 10.9 -- greys out the media box when I hit "play" on the DVD player and "record" on screenflow, making it impossible to make a screen recording of the film. I researched screenflow and it said the problem is not with their program but with the newest Apple Update. They have no control over the greyed out box. The only problem is that I own the screen recording software (which I paid for just for this purpose), the DVD I'm recording, AND I'm only using it in an educational setting AND I'm only using clips no longer than a couple of minutes, which I also cite from the original source so students can find the whole thing if they want. Apple should not be greying out this option for me. I'm completely in my rights. Has anyone had this problem and does anyone know a way around it?

I'm completely in my rights
Not exactly.
You are attempting to copy copyrighted material with a view to re-publishing it. This is illegal in many countries and is known as 'ripping', a subject expressly forbidden to be discussed in these forums.

My screen moved inside the case. Help!

I recently had to ship my iMac G5 via UPS. I used all of the original packaging so I figured it would be ok. Apparently it was jarred pretty badly, because when I put it on my desk I noticed that the screen had shifted inside the computer. The right side dropped about a quarter inch. Is this something that I should attempt to fix myself or do I dare touch it? Any thoughts?

If it's still under warranty, then you should take it in for service to keep the rest of your warranty in-tact.
I imagine they'll charge you since it was an impact that caused it.
But, if you attempt to adjust it yourself, they may void the rest of your warranty.
Adjusting the screen is going to require removing everything from the first two iMac G5 versions. And, on the iMac G5 "iSight" version, you cannot open it yourself anyway.
Of course, you could always bounce it on it's head the other direction
But, I wouldn't recommend that.
Personally, I'd pay the service charge for adjustment if it's under warranty.
If it's not the iSight version, then it can be done yourself. But, there are lots, and lots of connections that you need to make sure to get back in-place properly. I've watched them disassemble and reassemble two of mine to get to the LCD screen. So, I know it's a big job.
It wouldn't intimidate me. But, I used to build and design computers (and even electrical components) for a living.
But, for someone who has not done this professionally, I would enter the project cautiously. You can do it. But, you need to pay very close attention to how you dismantle it and get it reassembled exactly the same way.
Hope this helps.

MBP (early 2009) won't wake from Display Sleep

My MBP has started to not wake from Display Sleep (the machine is not sleeping, only the display). The only way to get it back is to force power off by holding the power button down.
The weird thing is, when I power it on, it shows the 'loading RAM from disk' progress bar down the bottom of the all grey screen, as if the battery ran out. But I have it connected to a power source. Once it loads the RAM, the screen goes blank and it hangs. Another force restart and it boots to the login screen as per normal.
One thing I have noticed is that when this all happens (ie, when I try to wake it and nothing happens) the fans are on about medium speed and its very warm, as if there is some process thats causing high CPU usage and preventing the display waking. I usually have a few browsers open, iTunes, etc, nothing out of the ordinary.
I might try connecting via screen sharing next this happens to see if its responsive over the network -- i'll post my findings here.
I have screen saver with password protection turned on, and its connected to an external apple display.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Try a SMC reset.

Screen separate from plastic case

The iphone 5c internals are comming out of the plastic case that is part of the iphone. It has lifted up on the top of the iphone by 2 or 3 millimeters. Is this something that happens all the time and I just need to push it back in?

unfortunately, I'm abroad and can't get it to a shop. I'll be back to the states in August, and hope to get it fixed then. Luckily, I dont have to move the computer around - I have it on my desk with the screen propped up with a sneaker...

I would like to change the setting so that the whole lap-top screen apart from the bookmarks column is used for the information - at the moment I have only a strap using 2/3 of the screen, and the rest is mozlla background

The previous version of Firefox used the whole screen; this version (Firefox Beta 4.0) uses only about 2/3 of the screen, leavig a space above and below the part-screen that it does use,and filling the rest with a background. I was able to chose which background when I first updated to this version, but I wasn't given the choice, as far as i remember, to have no background and use the whole screen.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

SCREEN TRIGGERING from the table maintainance

Hi,
I hava a transaction OMSF to maintain material group data (maintains view V023).
sO what I want is when I maintain a new entry (that is new material group) through this transaction ,when I hit save button it should direct me to a ZSCREEN(this screen will be created by me where I enter some data related to this material group which will be saved in a ZTABLE).
Can anyone help me how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Vengal.

Hi vengal,
1. there is a maintence view.
2. in that u will have to
    use the concept of
EVENTS
(that event will fire when u save record)
3. In that a FORM/PERFORM will be called
(that name u have to specify)
4. then in the function grup,
u have to write the code for calling
   your screeen.
5. But for doing all these,
   u may have to change the sap standard
   (so acess key will be required)
regards,
amit m.

My iPod touch screen disconnected from the back panel. What do I do?

I need knowledge on what to do.

- Try to fix it yourself:
iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If they can easily fix it, they will exchange it for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
- Have a third-party place fix it. Here is one. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens

I just purchased a 13" MacBook Pro, when i have the charger pugged in I get tingling electric shocks from the case. Is this a known and fixable problem?

I am using the supplied/genuine charger. The MBP is less than a week old and never dropped or abused.
When I run my fingers over any part of the body I can feel tingling electric shocks. Surely this isn't acceptable or safe?

The thing I find suspicious is that if it is a known problem, and there has been an official assessment that it poses no danger to the consumer, then I believe the documentation stating such would have to be made available upon request. When a car maker issues an internal dealer alert about an maintenance issue that is not dangerous and which does not justify a recall, they are still required under consumer laws to make that information available to owners in writing if requested. The same thing holds for most consumer products - you are not expected to merely take the word of an employee that it has been determined to be "acceptable and not dangerous" - the company is required to provide the documentation that supports that claim for a supposedly known issue.
I've owned several Apple laptops since the introduction of the first all metal cased Titanium powerbooks up to my current MBP (the first unibody model), and NONE have ever done what you describe. Regardless of what plug connector I have used on the charger, or where I have plugged them in (at home, at work, hotels, airports, other peoples homes).
If it is a known and documented problem, I would go back to the manager of that store and demand to see the internal documentation saying you "just have to live with it". That sort of response just does not seem legitimate to me.
