HP DV7 6135 bottom cover and battery won't stay in

For the past few months, when I picked up my laptop, sometimes the battery and/or the panel popped off. It was annoying and I even made sure the slider was in proper position but I noticed that the battery would pop out with just a gentle touch. It gets really annoying when the battery pops out unexpectedly while I was just moving such as to change position on a chair or to walk to use the restroom. Once the 12-cells pack missed my toe and left a half-inch deep dent in the wood floor, battery has never worked since and had to be replaced, thanks HP!
Today the bottom panel has popped out yet again and this time a few little black pieces came down with it, and the panel won't stay in anymore. Looking under bright flash light, it seems the plastic slider that normally locked or released both the battery and the panel has several broken pegs and cracks. Looking in Google, it seems to be a common problem with 6000 series DV7? Is there anything I can do short of buying an used 6000 series cheap off eBay and swapping the bottom shell? Gluing the panel is one option but not the battery as I switch between 2 if I'm away from power source a long time.
Replacing it outright with a non-HP brand laptop is also an option but it gets costly when one factors in getting a new battery or 2 for long power on time in the field. Batteries are generally not cross-brand compatible (ie HP battery won't work in Dell model)

Driod 4 keeps rebooting itself and battery won't stay charged

What do I do about my droid 4 constantly rebooting itself after the verizon wireless update that was pushed out March 23 or so?
1st my phone was frozen after the update and I had to request a replacement phone.
2nd the replacement phone randomly just reboots, whether I am using it or not.
The battery barley stays charged even when it's on the charger. I have all the data syncs off
I can't update my apps because the phone says it does not have network access., but I can make call and send text messages.
very upset about this, verizon should have tested the update further before pushing it out. there was nothing wrong with my original phone, now I h ave a large paper weight that has to stay hooked to the charger.

Hi alval!
I am sorry to learn of the rebooting issues with your phone after the latest software update. Let's get your phone our the paper weight mode and back into the awesome wireless device that it is! I had similar issues with my phone after the latest software update and I resolved all issues by doing a factory reset http://vz.to/TZvgLF as this clears any third party applications conflicts and any potential system errors created while processing update. Make sure to back up all your important media before doing factory reset as this process deletes all media and bring phone back to original state. Keep us posted.

Crack between bottom cover and unibody

Hello!
I have replaced my MacBook's HDD, and since I have done that, a small crack appeared between the bottom cover and the unibody at the left side of the notebook.
I have tried to fix it by bending the bottom cover a bit, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. Is this crack a normal phenomenon, or is there a way to fix this?
Hope someone can answer this question for me!
With kind regards,
Jeffrey van den Broek

Not normal for the bottom case to crack, Would make sure the top case was installed correctly, they have gray spacer type locks that slide in and out on the sides and front, one could be mis-aligned and putting pressure on the case, also over tighten screws could be causing the problem.

I have Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 8 and it won't stay connected to the server and it says I need flash plug in, please help

I have a Gateway computer with Windows 8 installed. I have installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my website and it won't stay connected to the server. It also won't play flash and says I need a flash plug in. Please help

#1 Try toggling Passive FTP on/off in your remote server's site definition.
#2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology. It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc... I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days. Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

I have created a second user on my imac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Anyone else have this problem?

I have created a second user on my iMac (OSX 10.7.1) and applications won't stay in the dock and my preferences default after restart. Everything works fine with the main user. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi again, ;o)
I found this advice in another thread (here), which you might find helpful...
Unregistering the iMac from .Mac syncing and re-registering it (replacing the computer's information with the .Mac information) resolved the issue.
The .Mac sync information was Reset (i.e. recopied in it's entirety) from the MacBook (the 'good' computer) to .Mac prior to unregistering and re-registering the iMac, so a fresh copy of the sync could be loaded from .Mac to the iMac.
I hope this helps the others who have had this problem.

PowerBook constantly alternates between charger and battery & won't charge

One my PowerBook G4 15" is no longer charging the battery. Since I have twin laptops, I checked that all batteries and chargers worked properly. The recalcitrant Powerbook recognizes that the charger is plugged in but will not start without a battery. So I swap the battery for a full one, charged with the other laptop and I can boot up. Now the computer indicates that it is running from the battery then quickly goes into power adapter mode, yet won't charge, back to battery after 2 seconds, back to adapter after another 2... on and on and on, dimming the screen up and down and draining the battery quickly. I did reset the PMU and the PRAM according to instructions read on this forum, to no avail.
Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, battery, dc-in card, and logic board. It sounds like you're sure the power adapter (you did swap power adapters to confirm that?) and battery are functioning. That leaves DC-in card and logic board. It's possible that there's a dc-in card issue where it's not letting enough power through ... is the female jack on the side of the Powerbook loose? You could compare it to your working Powerbook. If not, then more likely it's a logic board issue. Take it to Apple, have them send it to the Apple repair depot, and if your case is in good shape, they'll replace the logic board for around $325, which is less than half the rate if they did the work in the store. We recently had charging problems, and sent it to the depot, and they replaced the old battery too at no additional charge.

HT4203 My data and 3G won't stay off. It comes bak on almost instantly.

I try to shut data and 3G off to save battery but now it won't stay off. It turns bak on in a matter of seconds. What is wrong

This ***** because I like to listen to music while I work. It passes the time. Without turning 3G and data off the battery drains super fast.

Setting new APN and it won't stay?

I inserted new Sim in my iPad2 for temporary internet access in Japan (b-mobile). the last process after activation phone call is to set new APN. I tried typing exactly what the service provider told me but the new APN won't stay, as in when I finished and went back to cellular data, then to APN settings again, there were nothing. Can you help me understand this situation? It seems that the activation with the service provider has nothing wrong. Perhaps it's to do with iOS 7.0.4?
When I googled, the window 'PDP Aithentification failure' popped up. Please help.

The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809

My Equium laptop's battery wouldn't turn on and battery won't charge (stays on 2%)

Basically my laptop is 3 months old and I don't know why its acting weird. Firstly, when I bought the laptop in June 06.. in the first week the laptop failed to power on in battery mode. So I stopped using the battery mode and had to always use my ac adapter to power my laptop.
Now 4 weeks later, I removed the battery at the back and put it back in. Guess what the battery started working. Now 2 months later the same problem occurs, only that this time after removing the battery in and out it still won't power on and the battery says 2% and also fails to charge.
So Im stuck with my wires again... can anyone help?

@GreenApple123
Well, if you want to use a 3rd party battery so you should be sure that this battery supports the same properties as the original battery from the Toshiba.
In my knowledge Toshiba recommend to use the original batteries.
In other words, the using of the 3rd party batteries is at your own risk!

My 3gs won't hold a full charge for long, and also won't stay in any ap for more than 2 minutes and shuts down. I have replaced the battery, same symptoms. Any ideas out there?

My iPhone baffles me. It started doing this and I was told it was the battery, so I replaced the battery. Nope, same issues. Here they are. After a full charge which takes only about an hour, it rapidly loses power after another hour or so. While in my apps, I can keep them open for maybe 2 minutes and they shut down. When I do the double tap to see whats running, the apps I opened are, however they are't. Wierd stuff here folks I hope someone has had this before and can help me out. I don't have a job and cant' afford a new phone.
thanks for help in advance.

Double-tapping the home button does not show apps that are running. This is not a task manager, it is merely a list of recently used/accessed apps.
Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore. Has a reset or restore been tried?
Check to see if updates exists for the apps, this could be a simple issue of a badly coded or buggy app that needs to be updated.

OSX Upgrade and new software purchases slow down Mac and Battery won't hold charge?

Any assistance appreciated:
I have recently upgraded my OSX from Snow Leopard, which I was quite happy with, and was ticking over very nicely.
And, today, I have problems???
I was using Snow Leopard, I purchased Mainstage 2 for my musical work... Nice piece of Kit..
I then notice 'Apple', bring out Mainstage 3 about 10 days later???
I check out the spec, will not run on my OSX...
I then check out Mainstage 3 and find that it would be a better version than 2..
I then decide that the extra stuff in Mainstage 3 is worth the price of an OSX upgrade, and the newer Mainstage 3 version although I had recently purchased Ver 2..
I do the upgrade, seems to have worked fine...
I purchase Mainstage 3, get that installed, and the Xtra's.... What is that all about?
It took me well over 12 hrs to get those...
Any road up, I get everything installed and functioning....
Now, my Mac is Slllooooow..
The Battery will not hold it's charge... Runs for only 2 hours MAX and then needs recharging???
The MacBook was bought only 18 month ago??? 2011 edition..
I have an IBM ThinkPad 240 and it still holds more charge than my Mac....
Help appreciated Folks...
For the dosh I have paid to 'Apple', the product and software should operate and function better than this???
And to honest, I aint spending anymore, until 'Apple' give me some answers on my problems.

Ipod in Recovery Loop AND battery won't charge

I have read previous discussions about Recovery loops, but have not been able to figure out this:
My IPod says to connect to a computer, my apple laptop (OS X) says it recognizes an Ipod in recovery mode. I hit "recover" and agree to lose all info. It repeats this over and over. I have tried to plug my Ipod into many outlets to recharge but it always ends up with the screen "connect to a computer...".
I would send it into the battery replacement offices, but the warning is that you should only do that if that is all that is wrong with your Ipod. I do not KNOW if this is the only thing wrong with my Ipod, since I cannot get it to tell me it's problem. This all happened the day after the 1 year warranty ran out.
Thanks for any help or advice...
Katy

Borrow a friend's Magsafe adatper or go to the Apple store and try plugging into one of theirs.
Sounds like a dangerously unsafe/damaged magsafe adapter.
