Help me fix my 8900 PLEASE! Desperate now

Hi
A month ago, I was using my phone - had like a 20-30 minutes call, it was quite hot, so I was a little sweaty through the call (relevance will come later).
Anyway, 5-10 minutes after call, my keypad stopped functioning completely. Read around, they said it is most likely a moisture issue.
So now, I gave it in to a mobile repair centre - after holding it for 1 month - they said they couldn't fix it...
What can I do to have it fixed!? Would maybe reformatting help (if anyone has a method of reformatting phone via Desktop manager - I would appreciate it). I am not worried about cost :/.
Thank you ;(.

Reformatting and software won't do squat for a hardware/moisture problem.
You are probably about a month late to post here, if done in time, moistures issues are very easily overcome. 
HOWEVER, the salts in your sweat are the problem here. Salty moisture will dry and leave minerals deposited on the inner workings of the keyboard and those mineral deposits can short the keys out.
Nevertheless... you can try/attempt to dry out your keyboard, remove the battery and LEAVE the device open in a bag/box of dry rice for five days. Do NOT replace the battery each day to check it. Electricity and moisture do not mix well...

All that said... if cost and money is not a problem, get a new 8900. I have a feeling you've fried this one by waiting too long.
And, get a Best Skins Ever for full protection of your device.

  • New GFX card, Quartz Extreme error, and suddenly FCP 6 will not run. Help me fix this problem please!

    Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 3 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 7 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    My old GFX card nVidia GeForce 7300GT which is busted.
    I replaced it with a nVidia NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 from a Mac Pro of the same generation.
    I'm now getting a Quartz Extreme error whenever I try to run Final Cut Pro 6 or Compressor. "This system does not meet the following minimum requirements: Final Cut Pro 6 requires that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    Well, I checked the specs of the card and it does support Quartz Extreme. So why isn't FCP 6 running?
    Looking under the System Profiler > Graphics/Displays, it doesn't say the Cinema HD Display supports Quartz Extreme, but how could that be, because the Quadro 4500's specs online says it does?!! This was the better GFX card made for the same generation of Mac Pro but somehow doesn't work!
    This is also effecting my DVD player App with an error: "A valid video device could not be found for playback: -70017". Which has never happened before either.
    I've researched online and can't find anything that works.
    The card has power running to it and the monitor is hooked into the closest DVI port to the logic board which most of people with the same problem have done to fix this. I've also gone into the Disk Utility and ran both Verify and Repair permissions and the same for the boot disk.
    Nothing. I'm stumped. Short of trying to flash the ROM on the GFX card I'm not sure what to do. And I'm not comfortable doing that. Help please?
    I'm using Final Cut Pro 6 and subsequent older versions of Motion and Compressor, not FCP X or companion series.
    HELP!!!!

  • Any successful fix for Safari? Desperate now.

    Like a lot of others I have been experiencing massive slowness with Safari for the last week +. I think that it got worse after a Safari update. Safari is virtually unusable and the problem seems to have effected IE too. I tried reinstalling the previous version of Safari, but this doesn't seem to have changed anything.
    Has anyone figured out how to deal with this? If you have, please share it with those of us who are still suffering. Thanks.
    jen

    I'll join in the complaining. I only use Safari (1.3.1) and it's been slow - slow to start & slow to load pages. It's also eating up all my CPU at times, even when it's just sitting there while I'm reading a page. My poor little Mac Mini's fan starts going full bore to keep the CPU cool - using Safari! Who'da thunk?!
    After skimming through posts I've turned Java off in the Prefs and deleted the 'Safari icons' folder. Deleting icons helped with launching time. Java off helps with page loading, but I need that on.
    I checked IE to see if the problem was consistent across browsers and sure enough, Activity Monitor shows IE using TONS of CPU power... anyone have a clue what the deal is? This just started happening in the last few weeks.

  • Help me fix this bug please

    i have a problem: when a user logs out i invalidate their session but if they click browser 'back' button then they get into a jsp that requires authorization even they no longer have the authorization. How do I fix this?

    make sure that
    a) all pages have the authorization check
    and
    b) you have these headers on all pages to prevent caching
    response.setHeader("Pragma","No-cache");
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
    response.setDateHeader("Expires",0);

    What do you mean he chose his and your number during setup. Chose them for what? Is you number showing up in the Settings>Messages>"You can be reached by imessage at" section? If it is he needs to remove it.

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

And wants to have the same 'protection' and message reminders for the end users. Any information, including a script and/or a contact email of experts you can share with me will help tremendously.

    Hello Meg, the phone allowed me to stay on long enough to download a new app but then shut down the app centre and returned to the home screen.
    Was there a specific "fix App" for this?

  • Can you please help me fix a crackling/distortion problem that i have with AA when recording?

    I've read before on the forum that some other users have the same problem and I've tried quite about everything to fix my problem as well, but still no result.
    When I record, be it in AA 1 or in AA 3, i sometimes end up with channels being distorted (randomly!).
    Here's my config:
    I think it's important to say that I've been having this problem starting only a few months ago, though I haven't reinstalled Windows or anything. I'm working with windows XP SP3. I think (though i'm not sure) the problem occured about the same time I've updated my M-Audio drivers to version 5074. I've also tried disabling C1E as I've read on this forum on another topic and no result.
    Also,
    here's a sample of the crackling:
    http://dl.transfer.ro/transfer_ro-26jun-168e94ae4dc5d9.zip
    I'll send a bottle of Jack to whoever helps me fix this one Really now, I'm desperate!

    I don't hear crackling in that sample, myself, just a split-second rant in another language I can't identify, but anyhoo...
    1. Have you tried rolling back to the 5069 driver?
    http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=930
    2. Check out this thread:

    I see you're having your issue in WinXP SP3.  One guy (see post 43 on page 5) reports it in Win 7 with this driver.  People have reported better success with the 5069 driver but that one has been reported to lock on shutdown in Win7.
    3. Check out this thread:
    http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=1998799&mpage=1#1998799
    Same driver, Win7, different M-Audio card, different sound program, but crackling/sizzling. Fix reported by OP in post 14 by adjusting BIOS settings:
    Disabling EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) and CPU C state in  the power section of the BIOS made all the crackle sizzle go away!
    There's a checkmark in the last window in your screenshots for that one.  Also discussion of suggestions to adjust latency, etc., in soundcard which didn't fix it for him but may have for others.
    If those give no joy, please post motherboard brand and model.

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
    The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
    The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.
