HP Elitebook 2530p - unable to open Laptop lid - release button not working!!
The disk has failed on a HP 2530p laptop that a client always used in a docking station so i went to open the lid and the release button on the front - a metal oblong -that appears to push in and unlock 2 metal locking pins goes in but doesn't appear to be engaging with anything and the lid won't open!!!
Has anybody seem this issue or have any suggestions?
If i shake the laptop gently I can hear a loose piece of something is moving around so I'm assuming its part of the release mechanism..maybe??
I tried to slide a blade into the gap and move it left and right but it just hits the locking pins and I'm probably scratching the inside of the lid in the process - I'm also worried about damaging the screen..
Warranty has expired about a year or so ago so not really economic to get HP involved at this point.
Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.

Captivate 4 Open url from a button not working?
Hi All,
I have published a scorm course from captivate 4 and have installed to our servers. I would like to have a link to a document that is online (.doc) but whenever I click the transparent button it starts to load, opens a window (which has the correct title name) but then disappears with no warning or error message.
The link resides behind a transparent button, and has the settings On Success open url or file in a new window. I know the problem is not specific to this document because I have had the same problem with a completly different online file location in the past.
Please Help!!
Many thanks in advance.
Chris MaileHi there
Please send me a private E-Mail message to rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and advise of the exact file name of the file you are linking to.
I'll send you back a file that you can use to test and see if the link works.
Cheers... Rick

Open URL or File button not working.
I am using VMWare on a Mac running Windows XP with Captivate 4.
I am trying to essentially put a link at the end of my elearning to have them jump to a URL. I've switched over to a dell running XP. I've created a new project and tried to recreate just the last slide, i've created another new project and tried to just make a open URL button but none of it works!
any thoughts?Hi Patrick
We can all honestly give thanks to those that like to wreak havoc on our computers. Malicious Hackers
For it is Security reasons we face the difficulties we do.
Try the link again. I initially pointed you to the wrong anchor. (Sorry - My bad) Basically it's a Flash Player security thing. And it only happens when you test locally. Once things are on a server (as they usually are) the issues tend to become total non-issues)

I am unable to open a project that I have worked on and saved. I get an error message that the file is damaged and cannot be opened.
Leslie Tanaka
Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
3. Delete the Application Preferences
Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

"Open In.." function is not working
Hi, "Open In.. " function is not working on my iPad since the first time I recieve it..
it once worked twice, and it took a long time to load PDF file, but never worked again
the apps list is there, but when I click the app, nothing happened.
please do help,
thanksTry clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
Also close all apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this: <br />

I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook. I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work. Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?
If you purchased the Apple USB SuperDrive, it will only work with select Apple devices. It won't work, for example, on my Late 2011 model that has a SuperDrive built-in, but it will work with an Air, Retina model, new 'drive-less' iMacs, etc.
As far as I know, though, you can only hack the drive to work with some other Apple devices, but not with Windows PCs. Which is a shame as other, less expensive DVD/CD devices will work with just about any machine.
Sorry,

Power up Macbook Pro with 23" Cinema Display without opening Laptop lid?
Hi there,
I've just bought an Apple 23" Cinema display to use with my Macbook Pro.
I just have a quick question for working this setup. I'd like work with just the 23" display in use (i.e. laptop lid closed, due to desk space), but can't figure out how to turn on the Macbook Pro without opening the lid to the laptop for the power button!
This may sound like a silly question and I may be overlooking something as I've only had the setup for a hour, but it'd be a major pain in the ar*e if I had to open the laptop to turn it on every day, then close the lid again (and possibly go through the 'Are you sure you want to go into sleep mode...' process each time).
Can I avoid opening the laptop when connected to the 23" display? There is a power button on the display, but it only seems to put the Mac into sleep mode when it's already on, i.e. it didn't seem to work when I tried to use it to turn the Mac on from being off.
Thanks for any advice on this.

Just a final question about Sleep mode - does this have any negative effects on the life or performance of the laptop? I'm so used to Shutting down the laptop each day that I worry about Sleep mode having some sort of drain on the components or something.
There are only two practical differences between Sleep and Shut Down:
1. Sleep will wake instantly, so you don't have to wait for startup.
2. Sleep will drain a new, fully charged battery after several days without being woken or plugged in. If you shut down, the battery charge lasts much longer. Obviously, if you only sleep it overnight, you'll still have plenty of battery left in the morning.
Don't sleep it more frequently than necessary, though. Frequently turning the backlight and hard drive off and on can shorten their life. Just do what's reasonable. I usually leave mine awake until I have to transport it in a bag, along with sleeping it overnight. On battery, I'll sleep it more often to preserve battery.
