G7-2340dx Screen / Hinge / Shell replacement

I got my G7 a little over a year ago with income taxes. Fast forward to the end of the warranty, and right before Warranty expired, I had to replace the battery, and then the HDD, because of issues. Now, just out of warranty (and me having to get a tech support plan because of other issues), my screen is broken.
Now, I've found someone who can replace it for me, the problem is getting the parts. I've looked on the HP Part Surfer, and the parts I need are listed, but they aren't available for me to click on them to purchase.
The broken bits:
Right side plastic hinge cover. It broke last night, and I've no clue how. I don't drop, or bang the laptop around, but it broke. I woke up this morning, and popped it back into place, because it was just kinda....half-way sticking up, and I didn't think anything of it. When I opened my computer this evening, however, the screen was busted, and it has to be because of the broken hinge area.
If I'm going to get the screen replaced, I don't want it to just break again, which means I need to replace the shell / hinge cover. If I cannot get these parts, I can't do it. Anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on them?

A lot of users with white screen after lcd replacement!

Hello!
So i have a macbook air with a broken hinge.. replaced the screen assembly as in the guide on ifixit. All ok, but after replacement the screen is white with light vertical stripes. Now i have done some research and found out there are a lot of users with the exact same problem but none with a solution.
I think the reason why the screen turns white (most of the times) is because of the lcd modelnr en most importantly versionNr! The lcd model of the macbook air original is: B133EW03 but there are 4 versions of this screen: 0,1,2 and 3 respectively. In this link (page 3)http://www.ttsystem.ru/data/B133EW03_V1_Others_0204.pdf you see V1 is an upgrade of V0, in the way that the EDID codes have changes and so the OS has to send different codes to the lcd for it to 'understand'. I couldn't find the exact changes in V2 and V3 but i'm guessing it could be similar.
So my question is could this be possible?? is it possible or does anyone know you need the exact same lcd screen (model en version) when you replace your lcd screen?
Another very strange thing is that my macbook air shows some discrepancies:
The bottom case of my macbook air says A1304 and the serialNr off course. But the motherboard shows the A1237 model..Step 14! (In this ifixit guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Air-Models-A1237-and-A1304-Displa y-Assembly/855/1
Also OSX gives me the data:
MacbookAir 1,1
1,8ghz core 2 duo 64gb ssd (which isn't a a1304 model..)
but the same SerialNr!
When i check the specs online using the serialNr i can see it's made in week 50 of 2008.. in my opinion it's impossible it's a a1237, because apple introduced the a1304 in october 2008..

I had the same problem with the LCD after replacing hinges and could not figure this out.
To solve the issue, I bought another A1237 of eBay that apparently had no HD/SSD, but it arrived with a swollen battery. I removed the bad battery and replaced and moved SSD over and "Voila"...it amazingly light up...........

Hp pavilion g6-2217CL left screen hinge

My left screen hinge has for some time now been tearing apart the base of the laptop. I purchased it back in June of 2013 and do not know what is wrong. My laptop freezes when trying to boot as well now due to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can not afford to replace this laptop at this time.
This question was solved.

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.

Tecra M5 - How to remove Screen Hinges

Hi,
I need to replace the screen hinges (well one of them anyway)
I have the maintenance manual and hte computer in bits.
The manual says "Remove the hinge (left) while sliding and turning it." but no matter how hard I wiggle/slide/turn I cant get it out.
Same problem with the one on the other side.
Anyone ever done this and have any tips or know of an instructional video somewhere?
TFAI

Hhhmmm - I'm not sure. Yes, of course, you can screw up and I wouldn't do it on stuff that was precious but this is the first time I've been stumped and I've done a CPU, a fan, a reflow with a hot air stripper and a couple of new screens over the years all on the basis of the manuals. Jolly good they are too.
Anyway, if I don't find an answer in a couple of days, i'll reverse the repair process (I was going to replace the entire section but now I'll have to take some bits (speakers, touchpad etc) out of the replacement part and put them in the original and hope the rest works :-)
Anyway, I'll post again if I find the answer to the hinge problem.
Thanks for your interest

HP DV6 Screen hinge broke

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion DV6-3225dx running Windows 7 (64 bit). The left screen hinge is broken, there is a threaded metal tube that came out and some of the plastic of the sides have broken off too. I haven't made any physical modifications to the computer. It is out of warrenty (ended April 2012). Is there any way that I can fix this without forking over a ton of money?

Service Manual
You can perhaps find the hinges cheaper on ebay....I grabbed the first one I could find but I saw single hinges as low as $7. The job is modestly difficult. The manual will show how to do it. Replacing the hinges will stop the plastic damage. However, if the mounting points for the hinges is damaged, you will be forced to buy a new lower casing which is a little expensive. Otherwise, you do not have to replace the lower plastic casing but you may want to do it for aesthetic reasons. If you have to replace the lower housing, the big job becomes a really big job.

Screen hinges loosen fast?

I got my powerbook g4 last april. The screen was always loose, just never took it in. I took it in last Feb. Then took it in again a few weeks ago. I know the display will be loose by the end of the month. The warranty will run out april 7th. I know that there is a 90 day warranty on each repair. I was wondering if anyone else with the Power Book G4 15" Aluminum have been experiencing these issues with the display hinges, also instead of just repairing, which will just continue for A very long time will they give me store credit or replace it?
Thanks for the help.

The reason that im not getting applecare is that it is $350. Also own a ibook G4 use it very much, and the screen hinges are very tight on it after 3 years. Do you suggest I call apple on it? I mean I have A 8yr old gateway laptop that I used to use so much, and the screen is still very tight on it. It really bugs me how much I will need to take it in to apple. I know that this is the major weak spots on most laptops, but it seems like the powerbooks (at least mine) is very bad. I take very good of this power book. Thanks for the help.

U430 Touch Screen Hinge

I got the Lenovo U430 Touch in late August and have noticed that the screen hinge wasn't very sturdy but it was still working fine. But today the hinge is broken and I can't close the screen properly without adjusting it. I didn't drop it or damage it and I looked it up and saw that other people were having similar issues and saying it was a production failure. Is there anyway I can get a replacement or do I have to send it in for repairs? I'm in college and I'll be needing it for a couple more weeks so I can't send it in for repairs yet. And is the $99 fee not covered by the warranty? I called Lenovo support and they said they can't look at my laptop until I pay the fee. I feel like the quality of Lenovo has declined recently. Any help would be appreciated.

This just happened to me this morning! For those of you that were working with it broken for a while...did the break impede your daily use in any way beyond the inconvenience of the hinge function? I'm teaching in Romania right now (ironically, I bought this model specifically so it would be easier to travel with) and won't be back home in the U.S. for over a month so I can't exactly send it to be fixed right away. Am I going to damage it further if I keep using it? Edit: I'm also out of warranty, AND I noticed a month or two ago that my screen stop auto-rotating whenever I tried to flip it (which wasn't often at all, so I still don't know why my hinges would break so suddenly). Am I going to end up paying for these repairs?

BTF in a region of a page of UI Shell(replace-in-place) not refreshing

Hi All,
Jdev Version : 11.1.2.0.0
We are using a Bounded Task Flow (BTF) in a ADF Region of a page, which is made using the dynamic template UI Shell with replace-in-place method(Only one tab refreshes all time with new content).
We are refreshing/invoking the new content using:
TabContext tabContext = TabContext.getCurrentInstance();
try
tabContext.setMainContent("/WEB-INF/flows/task-fl.xml#task-fl");
catch (TabContext.TabContentAreaDirtyException toe)
// TODO: warn user TabContext api needed for this use case.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(dynamicRegion); // where dynamicRegion is binding in the backing bean for the ADF region which includes BTF.
In the BTF, we have 4 view activities and once the regison displays with default activity and after navigating to 3rd view activity (navigation inside the region BTF), it displays the 3rd view activity content in region. However, If I click on a link (Left side navigation page) which refreshes the same taskflow (same as above), the ADF region is not displaying with default activity of this taskflow instead it displays the same 3rd activity of the taskflow, where the previous status.
What I understand is that if we set a taskflow tf1 with Main Contnet(as above) and if we try to set the same tf1 to that Main Content, the tf1 is not refreshing (the default activity is not coming up).
I tried the below solutions but not worked for me:
a. I refreshed the ADF region after setting the Maincontent as below:
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(dynamicRegion);
b. I tried to invoke the region bounded task flow with different parameters (hoping the BTF refreshes and executes from default actitiy). However this also doesn' help.
And I set the attribute 'refresh = ifneeded'.
Can we set refresh=ifneeded for a taskflow Call activity also?
Could you please help how we can refresh the ADF region BTF in this UI Shell(replace-in-place method)
Thanks
Madhu

Thanks Frank for this info.
Could you please give me other hints regarding taskflow (with default activity) is not refreshing from the region.
One more thing I observed in my case is that:
When the region is already with the given BTF(at 3rd view activity content) and when refreshed(tabContext.mainContent("btf....")) with the same BTF (*using page parameters changing*), then first the finalizer(of existed BTF instance) and next initializer(of the new BTF instance) methods of this BTF are invoking but the region is not refreshing with the default view activity content(instead it stays at 3rd view activity content only).
Please suggest me anything I can debug after BTF initialize() and rendering the page.
Thanks in Advance.

MacBook Pro Screen Hinge Tightened?

Can anyone confirm that the new MacBook Pro's (purchased recently) have the screen hinge tightened?

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" produced in 2008, week 51. It has this same problem with the hinge. As long as the MacBook is sitting flat, the screen will stay put. However, if the base of the MacBook is tilted at 45 degrees or more the screen will close until it is a couple of inches from being fully closed.
Many people don't care about this and ask why anyone would want to do that. However, for me and others who like to use their MacBook while lying on a bed with knees drawn up, this presents a problem. I consider this lack of tension in the new MacBook Pro hinge to be a design flaw.
I've tried this with older 13" MacBooks and older 15" MacBook Pros (from early 2008) and none have this problem. Those models have stiff hinges that hold their position no matter the orientation of the MacBook.
Has anyone learned whether or not it is possible to adjust the tension in the hinge? I have heard of people having the hinges tighted in older MacBook Pros but I have not heard for the latest MacBook Pro models.
Thanks,
John

In ME29n (PO appr), error "Cannot Find Screen Element shell in Replay Mode"

In ME29n (PO approval), in the header I pressed on the release button, the recording went well. and while executing the script it worked well. Problem is When there is any change in the ME29n HEADER screen (e.g. expanding header and collapsing header: specially if header is in Collapsed mode) , ecatt is giving error "Cannot Find Screen Element shell in Replay Mode" "Error in eCATT command SAPGUI".
Please help me how to avoid this error either in recording phase or in SAP settings.
Also discuss how to make ecatt script independent of the system settings like HEADER is in collapsed mode or expanded mode.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Srinivas,
Once the value is retrieved into the variable , based on whether you need collapse or not you can put ur SAPGUI recording inside the loop and continue ur operation.
eg:
say currently its collapse and u need collapse to carryout ur process
IF ( RC = "COLLAPSE HEADER CTRL+F5" ).
your process (SAPGUI recording)
ELSE (if its expanded and u need collapse)
call the script to collapse or you can record to collapse and the continue your process
ENDIF.
Hope this answers your question , let me know if not.
Thanks & Best regards,
Ajay

Ipod screen cracked and replaced by third party, now cant type capitals so cant enter Apple ID password to access itunes, is there anything I can do?

Ipod screen cracked and replaced by third party, now cant type capitals so cant enter Apple ID password to access itunes, is there anything I can do?

Like lllaass said, bring it back to them. But, never ever, bring an iOS device to anyone for repairs except Apple. That voids your warrenty.

If you crack your iPhone 4 screen would apple replace it ?

No. Why would they do such a thing?
Does any other company replace their product for free when you damage it?

Satellite Pro A300D-131 - warped casing and screen hinge scratches

Has anyone experienced a warped casing around the power button, mine is raised a good 1-2mm.
I also notice that the screen hinge clearance between the hinge and body is so tight that the silver effect finish it scratched to bits. The laptop is only a couple of months old and it looks decidedly tatty already, it just looks like poor case design.
I have Satellite Pro A300D-131.

I have Satellite A300 in front of me. The notebook belong my girlfriend and it is about two months old. I have checked described areas and I didnt notice anything unusual.
To be honest I do not like this new Toshiba design because I like to have most of the ports on the back side but this new design has made by Toshiba to have more stabile screen hinges.
If you really think there is some serious problem I recommend you to contact nearest authorized service provider. They should take a look and give you advice what to do.
Discussing here on the forum will not help you much.

I broke my screen, will apple replace phone

I broke my iPhone 4 screen, will Apple replace it for free?

Do you still have AppleCare? But even if you do I don't think it covers Accidental damage, so it won't be free. I know with the iPhone 4S they offered AppleCare + which covered 2 accidental damages but I don't think they had that for the iPhone 4. Hope this helps.
