Help, I can't remove the iBook battery

I have an old but reliable iBook G3; works great, no problems. Yesterday I upgraded the hard drive to a 100 GB Hitachi-Travelstar. Replacement was successful. IBook runs great. The only problem I have is the battery won't come off even when the latch is in the unlock position! Help! Is there some way or some tool or trick to get it off? I know that someday I will need a new battery.
Thanks for your help, Martin

Yes, I've seen that reference. That's step 1 in the hard drive replacement. The battery won't come off or pop out. Something's holding it. Its not the latch, because I can "feel" and hear it go in and out when I turn the notched thingy. Also, the battery has a "bounce" to it in the unlock position. Somethings holding it in. The icon battery (in the menu bar) shows an X (not being charged when the notch is in the unlock position, but starts charging in the lock position. I'm wondering if its the plastic caps in the greasy springs located in the battery housing. I'm getting worried since it takes longer for the battery to charge up and it doesn't ever get to full "Charged" but remains at 95 - 99% While I've read that this is normal, it also takes a lot faster to discharge, but that could be to the newer power requirements of the new 100 gig drive. But then again, there could be a short somewhere. Does anyone have any recommendation on how to free a stuck battery without damaging either the iBook or the battery? Help!

Help I can't removed the back of my 6288

Hi
I have a new 6288 which I got today. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the back to put the battery it. The guide says it should slide my mine is very firmly attatched.
Should the whole back (shiny black and sliver bit) or just the shiny black bit slide off?

I heard someone used a chisel - Not a very good idea!
If it does still not come off even with Scoobyman's advice, Take to your operator store and they will be able to help you.

You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

They hacked it and may have caused damage to your device. Jailbreaking also voids your warranty and support from Apple. To restore to a clean state, restore in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Satellite A350 - How can I remove the password?

Hi every one
I am Col and I have just joint the site
I have a problem with my Satellite A350
I bought this laptop from a trusted auction,not on the net, with the password attached unfortunately this password dont work, but the auction house clams it does,
What is happening is when I turn it on the first screen you see wants a password, I put in the so called password that was given to me but it wont work. When I try to get into the BIOS setup it still wants the password before I can continue.
This computer is using Vista and I cant even put the Vista disk back in because the DVD drive wont work because the op system has not booted
I hope some one knows how to by pass the password or can help me. I have tried removing the internal battery but no go, my email is [email protected] if you want me to explain things better
Thanks to every one
Col

Hi Col!
These are not so good news
Im not a Satellite A350 owner but if you want to remove the password you should contact an ASP and ask for help. The notebook technicians are know how to remove the password and so I think they can help you at best.
On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

Hello Mudassar,
In SQL Server / T-SQL we don't have a native JSON support, so you would have to implement a solution on your own = parsing the string and remove the "Key" + it's value.

How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

Try:
items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
Or you can filter them out using where:
var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?

I am in the Moment working on the Development of an Express VI
library for test purposes.
How can I remove the " Source.vi" from long Express VI Names?
This happens when the Express VI is inserted in the blockdiagram
and listed in LabVIEW and TestStand Palettes.
By short names like "DAQ-Assistent" or "EasyCalc" the string " Source.vi"
is not shown at the end of the Express VI names.
I used The Express VI Dev Toolkit 1.0 to create the Express VIs.
Labview Version: 7.1 Base
TestStand: 3.1
It would be great to get the expert advice from the Forum for this issue!
Thanks a lot.
Andre

I think I understand what you are asking for. If I am wrong, please try to explain it a bit more.
The name shown may be different than the name of the vi file. To do this, your source VI and popup on its icon. From the short menu that comes up, select VI properties. In the top ring, select Window Appearance. The page that comes up lets you set various things that can affect the appearance of the VI. What you want to change is the window title. Uncheck the Same as VI name checkbox and change the string to whatever you want it to be.
I hope that this helps,
Bob

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?

How can I remove the Location column from the search results in a .chm file?
I generated the file in Robohelp HTML 9.
As far as I know it's used when you've combined more than one source into the final help file. It is possible (though I don't remember doing it) that I did that once a couple of years ago but now I'm only using one source - the project that's generating the .chm.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove it?
Thanks
Tom

In Project Setup look at the Window properties. I think you will find Advanced Search is ticked.
