G570 Hinge Issue (related to Screws)

I have checked some of the threads related to this topic but they are all fairly old and haven't addressed my query.
It started earlier this year when the right hinge (when looking at the screen), on my G570 started acting wonky, I had no idea what they problem was and it didn't affect the performance (just made a cracking sound when I opened it). It wasn't until the past weekend when the left hing also started behaving poorly that I realized the issue. The screw holding the hinge down had come out and now whenever I moved the hinge the hinge moved as well. This makes it hard to get the screen to say upright, it makes it extremely difficult to adjust the angle (used to be able to adjust from 0-120 degress, now its pretty much 90 degrees or closed).
I have to put my finger where the hinge is as I close the laptop to try and replicate the job the screw once did. This is not perfect but it gets the job done (takes about 5 attempts), but it will definitely not continue to suffice.
I fear that the issue may be more than just the screws though, I don't want to order some screws (I can get them for under $10 but I'd still rather not spend $10), only to find that the issue is that the bracket is the issue (screws are useless if the thing they screw into is broken). I was wondering if there were any other less-crucial screws on the computer that I could take out to check to see if the hinge only needs new screws.
Basically are there any screws on the underside that I could move to the hinge area for the time being/check to see if getting new screws would fix the issue? I want to make sure I don't ruin my computer by removing another vital screw, but definitley would like to test the screws before I go and order some more.

Update:
So I found another thread that is 23 pages long, at about page 9 I found out that someone who's warranty had expired was able to get the problem fixed, becuase it is a known issue. Another person was required to pay $187 because it wasn't covered under the warranty, but was later refunded the money.
So while my warranty is up, it appears I may still have a shot at having this repaired professionally (glad I didn't remove anything). However according to the support site I could be billed for the call to Lenovo because my warranty is up? How is that a way to do business? Will I be told at what point I will be billed (at which point I could hang up), or is it billed from the start?

Hello
I don't know who to complain to as you do not appear to have a complaints department, despite searching the web, I trust you can pass this to relevant department for action, as I'm very angry over my recent repair.
Following my issue relating to a blank screen 2 weeks ago, your advisor arranged for my iMac to collected by Amsys, for repair and return, this was done and it was returned to me last Tuesday, onWednesday I set up my iMac again and instantly realised I had problems, much worse than before. I called Amsys to inform them of the issue of the computer being very very slow and unable to open iPhoto and pages, and document listing would not show up, plus I had no sound on the mac.They informed me that they had only replaced the video card and what they had done would have not affected the computers performance. He suggested I reinstall OSX again which I did, but this made no difference to the programs, so I called you.
Your technician on the phone was very good as they have always been, and made an appointment for me to go into the Milton Keynes Apple store the next day at 1 pm, which I did.
The gentleman on the Genius Bar was very good and was able to run tests on the iMac in my presence, and diagnosed immediately an issue with the sound problem, and advised me that this could not be fixed while I wait and I would need to leave it for repair. I made him aware of the previous repair, and he was able to see via your system, the list of logged issues I have had with this since purchasing in September 2012. I'm sure you can see from the way you record all calls and issues the problems I have had.
Today I called to ask if my iMac would soon be ready for collection, I was told the repairs had been completed and it was being tested. However to my dismay, I learned of another serious issue relating to the repair carried out by Amsys. I was informed that 6 screws were missing from the the iMac internally, which caused me much distress and concern, they also told me I had to wait even longer as the screws had to be ordered and installed on arrival before I could collect it.
My issues here are: I trusted the Amsys repairer as it was arranged and recommend by you, it is very evident they are not competent to repair, as they have caused more problems with my iMac on its return, despite enclosing a checklist, fully ticked showing everything working well, it clearly wasn't ! Plus the issue of missing parts (screws) during the repair, I have already expressed my disgust with Amsys, by email and had a response, within the hour, apologising and told me they were looking into this.
This where I stand on this, I have not had my iMac for almost two weeks and I do not know when I will get it back. I'm also very worried about what other damage has been caused by Amsys and the quality of my iMac now. I want to know what you, Apple is going to do about this ? I have already been very inconvenienced by this and until now I have been a very loyal apple customer with 2 iPads, and 4 iPhones in our household, not to mention the iMac.
I feel I have been very let down by this experience, on my iMac, which cost a lot of money, I have also lost a lot of money with lost work and unable to carry out my business without it, and I will be seeking compensation.
I trust you will take this complaint seriously and pass it to the relevant department for action.
Yours sincerely

Hinge Issue

The screws are falling out of the plastic case of my HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook around the hinge area. I have seen others ask about this same issue on other models. Are the hinges universal or model specific. Where would I get replacements for my machine? Are they easy to install?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The first thing I would do if you haven't already, is check the warranty status of your laptop...
Hinges are specific to each model. You can find replacement hinges for your machine on Ebay for usually around $10 depending on the specific model.
Replacing them yourself is a fairly labor instensive job as it requires you to almost completely take apart both the palmrest assembly and the screen assembly. You can find well done tutorials that will walk you through the process start to finish, but if you have never tried to do something like this before, expect it to take an hour or better.
One other thing, if you have screws falling out, you may have issues with the plastic pieces such as the base of the laptop and the back lcd panel where the hinges screw in. If the mounts for the screws have broken off (which is pretty common with hinge issues) you may be needing to replace more than just the hinges.

Issue related to Section

Hi Experts ,
I have an issue related to Section.
I have an report which shows Department Name and the employees under each department.
For this report, we have used "Section" on dimention Object "Department Name".
Now the issue is , when this report is being exported to PDF. In PDF, for some departments , Department name is in one page and its related employees data are in next page.
In some cases, Department Name and first few records are in same page and rest of records are in next page.( Let's say in department 'X' there are total of 30 employees . So in one page its showing department 'X' and its 10 employees in same page and rest of 20 employees of that particular department are shown in next page ).
And in some cases , only Department Name is in last line of the bottom of the page and its related employees are shown in the next page of it.
Can we have any option, which will show both Department Name and its related data only on the same page?
Please be noted that I am working on BO 4.1 version.
Appreciate for your quick responses.

Hi Cris,
Check start on new page and avoid page break in section properties (right click on section block- format section).

Issue related to the Credit memo and S.O.

Hi,
I have one issue related to the Credit memo and S.O.
We have a network of Dealers and Dealer inventory is linked with our system. When user creates S.O for Dealer1.If the item is not avail in our inventory and it is avail in any other Dealer inventory (Dealer2), then the system creates S.O wrt the Dealer2.
In this case as the material is directly delivered from Dealer1 to Dealer2, there is no any GI in our system.
So, the transaction with Dealer1 will be the normal as usual. But, we have to return the goods amount to the Dealer2 with any suitable way. We are considering it as a Credit memo.
My question is, as we have created S.O wrt the partner function- Dealer1 and we are creating CR memo for Delaer2, is there any way through which we can link the se two transactions with customizing so that we need not to make any ABAP programming.
I mean can we create Cr memo wrt S.O when the partner functions are different?
Pl. guide me.
Thanks,
Roopan.

You have an interesting Scenario.
You can handle this scenario in multiple ways
1. Third party Scenario (Here Dealer 1 becomes Vendor &Dealer 2 remains Customer)
2. Order related sales & credit memo.
3. Intercompany sales, where you represent dealers place as a plant in your system. (Not an ideal way to handle the scenario, but possible option)

Issue related to the Excise Postings

Issue related to the Excise Postings
My Scenario is i have an Purchase Order with Excise Duty of 16.48%
For Eg: Net Price(1000) + Excise Duty (16.48%) = Rs.1164.8
my vendor gives me a Modvat of 10% i.e Rs.104.8
but i have to pay him the total amount (i.e with excise)=Rs.1164.8
How to do the GR with Excise & Invoice Verification??
Wat amount will be Credited to vendor???
How to do Excise Posting for this Scenario???
Thanx & Regards,

Hiii Ramakrishna,,
User doesnt know at the Time of Purchase Order that how much excise & Modvat will be getting. Only the Gross value is given in the Purchase order including all
taxes ( No Tax Code in the Purchase Order).
Excise Invoice and Vendor's Bill are received when the Materials are received.
They will get the Modavat according to the Excise Invoice of the Manufacturer
Now while doing GR i manually give the Excise BED & Cess given in the Manufacturer Excise Invoice.
Post the Excise Invoice before doing MIRO.
The Problem is in the MIRO Transaction.
At the MIRO i have selected the Tax Code with Excise.
System is caluclating the the Excise on the PO Value i.e more than the value in the Vendor Excise Invoice (Part 1 & Part 2) and the Liablity of vendor is increased and the difference amount is posted to the material.
Everything is going fine except the Vendor's liability and it should be value of the Purchase Order.
How the system is caluclating the Value ???
am i doing any wrong procedure???
Explain me???
Thanx & Regards.

TemSe cannot administer objects that require more than two gigabytes of storage space, regardless of whether the objects are stored in the database or in the file system. Spool requests of a size greater than two gigabytes must therefore be split into several smaller requests.
It is enough if you perform the regular background jobs and Temse consistency checks for the tables.
This will help in controlling the capacity problems.
If you change the profile parameter rspo/store_location parameter value to 'G' this will make the performance better. The disadvantages are TemSe data must be backed up and restored separately from the database using operating system tools, In the event of problems, it can be difficult to restore consistency between the data held in files and the TemSeu2019s object management in the database. Also you have take care of the Hard disk requirements because in some cases, spool data may occupy several hundred megabytes of disk storage. If you use the G option, you must ensure that enough free disk space is available for spool data.

Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express 1)

Hi, I've recently bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express edition).
Before I address my issue, I'd like to point out that my rig is:
Maximus Extreme (mobo)?
Q6600 (cpu)
ATI4870 (vid card)
4Gigs of DDR3 (ram)
and my OS is Vista Home Edition (32 bit precision)?
And so after physically installing the hardware, I quickly installed everything there was on the CD- this included the drivers available on the CD. After this installation, I restarted then found most recent updates via online sources (creative.com). But even after all of this, I wasn't able to get my microphone to work. Now from my understanding, the jack is shared between Line-In and Microphone and I'm supposed to configure this setting. And so I tried to do that, but my only problem was that I was unable to use any of the available features. After researching for a few hours I found out that I, appearently have to uninstall everything that I had installed and then reinstall everything from online sources (from creative.com-- latest drivers for vista 32 bit). But even then, I still can't use my mic or configure the settings so that I could use microphone instead of Line-In.
Now going back to my actual question, how do I configure the settings so that I could use Microphone instead of Line-In?

ERe: Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express )[ Bumping.
Almost the same problem here.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio edition, Windows 7 64bit.
I downloaded the latest driver from the Creative site, installed it, update with the update manager and then i installed the console.
Issue number : I DONT have your same console. I dont have a "Mode" button, im stuck in Entertainment Mode. I cant control almost nothing and i dont have all the options u have.
Issue number 2: My mic isnt working good. It's VERY low on volume, i cant be heard without the +20db boost (the only boost option i have, i cant boost more) and even with that acti've that's not that loud.
It is still working good with my onboard realtek soundcard. I cant understand what's the problem and how to solve it.
Ah, my headset is a Creative Fatality.

Issue related to Unicode character compatibility

Request for the help on the issue related to Unicode character compatibility with Oracle 11G R2 32 Bit DB.
Issue description: I have created a Profile in my application and named it with Unicode characters(German\Russian\Latvian…. alphabets), while opening the profile its throwing an error message “Invoice profile cannot be found in database.”
During the Oracle database installation I have selected the Database character set as Unicode UTF-8. As per our application guide it considers only the Database characterset and not the National character set.
Let me know if I have to still do some additional settings with respect to this globalization settings.
Thanks,
Brij

I don't know what the application does, so I don't also know the profile role and what - exactly - can't be found in the database. At least 'a invoice profile' is not a native Oracle object.
So it's not possible to analyze the application problem.
On the database side characterset UTF8 (although I would prefer the 'newer' AL32UTF8 characterset) is appropriate in a globalized environment. What to do in the interaction between application and database - that depends highly on the application itself.

Hello All,
Can some one tell me
Under which group i have to post issues related to SAP - Basis
Thanks
Balaji

Hi,
As such there is forum which is dedicated to basis. But there are number of forum where you can post issues depending upon what type of issue you have e.g.
If you have issue related to database then you can post in SAP on Oracle, SAP on DB6, SAP on MaxDB etc.
If it is related to OS then SAP on Unix, SAP on window etc.
If it is related to ERP/EHP upgrade then SAP ERP 6.0 upgrade, Enhancement Package installation.
If its related to netweaver then on SAP Netweaver administrator, SAP netweaver platform.
Thanks

Issue Related to Module pool

Hi,
I have issue related to module pool Prog.
Actually i have one screen[Dialog] in that i am having one field License No as input enabled.
In that License No field when i press F4
i am using one Function module called REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT to populate some fields in it.
In SE51 i called that code as below.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD v_zzexgen MODULE f4_help_for_zzexgen.
Now when i select one row/record from all the populated records it is filling only value into License No[v_zzexgen] , There in the same screen i am not able to get the values for other fields like v_modco,v_gennr etc..
Though they are in populated screen.
Actually after calling POPUP F.M i had written follow code:
 READ TABLE i_pdata INDEX k_selfield-tabindex.
 IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Then move all the fields of selected record into 9002 screen
 v_zzexgen = i_pdata-zzexgen.
 v_zzgeart = i_pdata-zzgeart.
 v_modco = i_data-modco.
 v_zzgmaxw = i_pdata-orgamt.
 v_zzgaufw = i_pdata-conamt.
 ENDIF.
Can anybody tell me what is the issue out here for not filling other fields.
What is the reason for populating only one field when i am getting other field values also to be populated!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.
