HP G6 Laptop Power Ribbon Cable has become loose!!

So I noticed a overheating problem with my laptop and followed one of the many videos on youtube on deciding to clean the fan. Once I finished, i put everything back together but noticed the electronic part attached to the purple "Power button" ribbon cable is coming off the motherboard, it's not sticking on it. I kept trying to force it on, but it would always come off. Now when I try to turn the computer on (with the top of the laptop still widely open), I try to put force on the motherboard end of the ribbon cable and I occasionally get some light coming from the laptop power area, but it quickly goes away. And no this is not a battery/power adapter issue because the lights telling me "battery is charging" come on when I plug in the adapter, I don't know how to fix this power cable and it's end part, any help would be much appreciated. Btw my laptop is this model: Hp G6

Hi,
Must be something is not quite right. I used 300W 12V-240V converter to charge my Dell XPS M1730 (with 230W power brick) w/o any problem. To test the PSU: does it run OK on main ?
Regards.

Hello, I have an otter box for my iPhone 4s and recently the rubber schell has become loose and a little flappy. A lot of my friends have told me that the otter box breaks the lock button on the iPhone and sure enough it has happened to me. It's as if the lock button is frozen in place and won't click down. Can I return this phone for a new one? my biggest fear is that I'll have to go a couple of weeks with out a phone while I wait for my new one.. And with regards to otter boxes, should I stay away from them to prevent future issues like this from happening again?
Thank you for your help!

"Can I return this phone for a new one? "
Do you mean "can I get a new iPhone for free?" Nope.
Do you mean "since Applecare does not cover accidental damage, can I get a replacment iPhone, for around $250?" Yes.

My screen on my mac has become loose and goes all glitchy with vertical lines

My screen on my mac has become loose and goes all glitchy with the whole screen covered in vertical lines, it also has a lump at the base of the screen when it closes but that can be pushed down, All can be fixed by placing the screen carefully but it is increasingly difficult - HELP

Bring it into an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation. If your MBP is not under warranty, you will br told what the costs are which you can accept or decline. Look at iFixit.com or Powerbookmedic.com for do it yourself options.

G62X-400 (ld642av) won't charge, power button ribbon cable might be damaged.

Friend's daughter's laptop had an issue with the cable going to the LCD. When opening it I noticed some screws missing from the machine near the back and middle. I took everything apart and realized the display cable had been stressed I assume due to the flex from the missing screws and when pressure was applied to it, the screen would come on. I replaced the cable and all is well, or so I thought.
Problem is the ribbon cable from the power button seemed to be a little funky as well. Wouldn't really go back well into the zif connecter or back flip connector and the little bar on the connector ended up coming off. I thought I got it back on, it powered up but I didn't realize it was apparently no longer taking a charge. Bottom line is the laptop ran until the battery depleted. If the ribbon cable from the power button was damaged, would that prevent powering the laptop and/or charging the battery or is something else wrong?
This question was solved.

The answer is yes - when I force the cable in using pressure, it charges the battery and will accept power from the charger. I'll have to get a new power ribbon cable as it appears to have lost some of the metal contacts on the bottom.

Cable code isn't going to help what you need the the cable part number. Without this no one will be able to help you locate the cable. Also you should tells us the P/N that will insure someone can look into what the part is and also what is that cable for as there is no discription what it does or connects to.

What do I do when my Nokia n96 slide becomes loose...

I've only had this phone for about 2 weeks, and I've realised that the slide of my nokia n96 has become loose, I know it's something that has happened to most n95, but the n96 is obviously new. How do I fix it? It's under warranty, can I get it fixed free? It's annoying to hear the vibration and the creeks of it!

It depends on how loose it is. Most slider phones loosen up the more you use them.
All you can do is take it to a nokia care point and ask their opinion about it. They may say it's perfectly normal or they may be able to tighten it up under warranty.

WEIRD! Has Anyone had this problem with the keyboard ribbon cable? HLP! PLS

Replacing a DVD drive and using ifixit to reassemble the unit; the PB 1.67 Ghz wont turn on--nothing.
After 3 days of troubleshooting I finally found that pressing the keyboard ribbon cable to the logic board very firmly while pressing the power button starts it.
Nothing else works. When I release the pressure the PB works fine after start however the power switch doesnt work again (for an emergency manual shutdown or to boot the PB again). Tape doesnt work.
This connection is only a small friction fit connector. Ive cleaned the area, compressed air cleaned and close inspection shows no visible problems I can see.
Has anybody experienced this and how do I fix it? I cant open the PB every time I want to boot it!
Steve

Hi, Steve. I don't have an answer for your faulty connection, but as for workarounds, there is seldom a need to shut a Powerbook down and then boot it up using the power button. I recommend that you stop shutting down as a matter of habit, and instead just put the Powerbook to sleep (using the command in the Apple menu) when you aren't going to use it for a while.
I could easily count on my fingers and toes the total number of times my Powerbook has been shut down since I bought it four years and ten months ago. It runs 24/7/365 except when I'm working on something inside it. For all other purposes, a software Sleep or Restart command suffices, and I don't need the power button for those. You should be able to reduce your need for that button just as drastically.

Toshiba tecra a7-s712 power button ribbon cable

i need to find the ribbon cable for the power button or the exact markings on the ribbon cable. i bought a tecra where the former owner bent all the ribbon cables. also if anyone has the specs on al the ribbon cables also would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance to anyone answering.

It is very problematic to find such parts. With a little bit luck you can find such cable on eBay. Check it out.
P300 models in general have similar parts so you can also use such cable offered for Satellite P300 too.

As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version. How can change it back to the laptop version?

As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version. How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

LR on your laptop is still a desktop version. It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time. Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open????

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

v 3.6.13 - what has become of 'Restore previous session'? I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area. Being able to quickly close all tags, knowing one can recover them later is invaluable.
