I am thinking I need a whole new motherboard

as the battery charger link to the computer became loose and apparently soldering them is a no go anywhere.....So I am guessing I need a whole new motherboard because of something as crazy as this. Apparently even though it is a common problem for my laptops because of it just reaching over the warranty time I got told I was sol....so to say. So now I am seeking advice as to what motherboards will go into my computer with ease and not cause any issues. My particular laptop is the HP Pavillion 6500 p/n gs667ua#aba it says it is the dv6629wm..........................SO PLEASE help me figure out what motherboard I can get that will not cause issues and will work correctly in this laptop. THANKS!

Hi, the motherboard does not have to be changed the power connector comes as a separate part. (100USD)
446524-001 = 90W AC Adapter
449454-001 = 65W AC Adapter
You will also have to add in the cost of labor to replace the part.
Please mark the post that solves your issue as "Accept as Solution".

New motherboard need re-format?

Hi guys,
If I was to upgrade my KT3 Ultra ARU to a newer motherboard (any suggestions would be appreciated), would I definitely be looking at a Windows XP reinstall with re-format?
I haven't done a motherboard upgrade since running Windows XP. In the past I have always done a format of C: and then reinstall my OS of choice. But is it absolutely necessary with Windows XP?
Tonight I've been told yes, but I have also been told no, because Windows XP will detect and install what it needs for the new motherboard.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking it is a must-do format, but the chance that I do not would be very welcome.
Again, any suggestions in the MSI line for a new motherboard for the gear in my sig?
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply, Rob454. I will then search for another MSI VIA motherboard. This need for a new motherboard occured so suddenly I do not have a latest backup of my C:.
Here's my dilemma for those who care to read:
My AGP slot is dying on my KT3 Ultra ARU. It was determined by MSI, via email, that my video problems were AGP slot related (video problems discussed in another thread here ).
MSI said they'd gladly take a look at the motherboard and determine if a replacement was in order. To this I was pretty happy, but then I read the next sentence. They said it could take upwards of 4 weeks to resolve. Yikes.
I do not have a backup system and 4 weeks is a long time to not be able to do office work at home or even worse, game! 8o What's even worse is that in one week's time I have a brand new 19" LCD coming to me and right now I have no system to put it on (I'm on a lousy Toshiba laptop...). ;(
My thoughts: Buy a new motherboard for my gear (VIA chipset), RMA the KT3 Ultra ARU, and let MSI take a look at it. If they replace it, great! Then I will have that backup system for probs like this again.

Installing New Motherboard

A month or so ago I got some advice here in the forums with regards to frequent freezes, and hangs on my 4 yr old eMac 1.25G. I was advised correctly, that there had been a problem with a bad batch of caps for a power supply on the motherboard. Apple ran a repair extension program that has since expired, and there doesn't seem to be any way to contact them.
I even went to the nearest Apple store (3 hours away), and tried to get with a genius. I was told It would be about a 7 hour wait.
After looking around online, I've found I can buy a whole new motherboard for my machine for about $200 bucks. I'm thinking about purchasing it and installing it myself.
I have a service manual with instructions for the installation, and have been inside the eMac before just looking around.
Any advice?
BTW: I don't have the discharge tool that the service manual calls for, so I am going to leave the machine plugged in and off for at least a week before attempting this to allow the display cap to discharge.
Thanks
Chris

I just replaced the logic board on my emac myself. It's a lot of work, but as long as you follow the service manual, you can do it. I did not discharge the CRT, since I was not working near it. Just use one of those wrist grounding straps. Here's some advice:
Keep track of all the screws, i.e. what part they belong to - since you have to remove SEVERAL components to actually get to the logic board. I wrote down on a piece of paper the name of the component, the order in which I removed it, the number of screws, and then put the screws right there.
You will need thermal paste (Radio Shack) when you put the heat sink back on the processor.
Be careful when re-connecting the down converter to the logic board. I had trouble getting the male pins lined up with the female socket, and I actually mangled one of the plastic sockets. Luckily, the pins still make contact, so no worries.
While you're inside, give the fan a good shot of compressed air to clean out the dust.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

Hi a,
http://www.mctiviausa.com/
There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

I think I need a new Hard Drive

iMovie keeps crashing. Thus, I think I need a new hard drive for my 2001 dual 800 G4 (Quick Silver). Can someone please tell me the best place to buy a new hard drive, how to install it, and then how to transfer everything over to the new one and thus remove the old on.
Thanks so much to anyone that can be of assistance!
Stuart

Hi Stuart-
You can buy a good hard drive here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-IDE-ATA/
I would recommend the Seagate 120 gb hard drive. Your system is limited to up 128 gb, thus the recommendation.
You can follow the following guide to add your new hard drive:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/IDE/add2nddrive/
After you format the new drive, install your OS X Tiger on the new drive (I also recommend updating the OS X to 10.4.8)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
After you have finished installing the OS to the new hard drive, the OS should prompt you, asking if you would like to transfer files. Just follow the prompts, and you'll soon be done.
When the transfer is done, and you are satisfied that all is well, you may consider reformatting the old drive (losing all previous data) and using the newly formatted old drive for backup.

No. Sell the 8gb and buy one with more capacity.

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

I own Logic Pro 7( I used to have a PowerPC and need to upgrade to Logic Pro 9 (new Intel chip, system 10.8) . Do I need to buy a whole new set or do I upgrade for less cost?

The cost of the Full Logic Pro 9 from the App Store is less than the cost of the discontinued Boxed Upgrade set for Logic Studio (if you could find one) ... so you might as well purchase the full Logic Pro 9 from the App store and be done.

Only in the U.S.
This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is very important.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
Your purchase history is only a list of your purchases. There are no files there.

Hello kevin
Check out the article below to guide you to the proper article to get your iPod shuffle to show up. You will need to see if it shows up on your computer as a device in My Computer section in Windows Explorer. Then it will help you pick the right one.

How can I pin the ONLY link I need (Bookmooch java) to the navigation bar instead of opening up a whole new toolbar?

I sent a better written request with an incorrect email address before ...
I would like to add a single URL link as a button to the navigation bar, instead of having to open a whole new toolbar for it alone.
I have moved all my add-ons to this single visible toolbar with the help of an add-on, but there isn't one for the Bookmooch bar. The official one can only be dragged into the bookmarks bar which I never use.
If I created a whole new bar and moved all the preset tools (home, back, etc) onto it, could I combine them with that URL button?
Or is the only way to fiddle with the registry and replace bits of the Mozilla code?
The link to the only person offering custom toolbar icons (I managed to find) won't load.
Help? Thank you!

When you are in the Toolbar Customize mode, move the '''Bookmarks Toolbar Items''' to the Navigation Toolbar. Then hide the now empty Bookmarks Toolbar.

Is it possible to copy over track settings to a whole new song in Garageband?

Hi there
There maybe a work around for this if its not possible but here goes.........
I have multiple tracks (vocals, live played guitars, live played bass) that I have layered to be played back over the top of an already existing mp3.
I very clumsily did not set the beat to the right tempo to start with (Current BPM 120, but the song realy is 150) as I never intended to work on the track with the need for a click track (ie to add drums). As every instrument I played live and didnt need midi functions.
But now I want to add a midi drum track and basically get everything synced up to a click.
Ive done quiet a bit of work on this and have a lot of manual settings for EQ, reverb, compression etc etc that I really dont want to have to write down on a piece of paper and replicate into a whole new garageband song.
I know I can copy/paste the actual wave form into a new song, but how do I copy the TRACK SETTING into a completely new song?
Either that or how can I adjust the tempo of the original garageband track without it trying to stretch out my various recordings to fit this new tempo? (as it always does when you move the tempo slider up and down).
Maybe neither are possible?

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
Hey
Thats a super cool bit of info, and mega handy to know. I tried it out but unfortunately when I create a new file with the CORRECT BPM of 150 (Not 120 that I had set it to before) it still speeds all of the tracks up by 25% (120bpm x 25%=150bpm) when you paste them in.
Also a few things to note on that tutorial. If you have used an electric guitar track, you need to save the instrument in electric guitar and then select that track to be an electric guitar track, other wise you cant get the setting back later.
Also, for some reason, even though I did it all step by step (my 9 tracks in order were 1 x mp3, 2 x electric guitars, 4 x real vocal tracks) it added MORE tracks and didnt paste the copied over waves onto the right tracks in the right order (The mp3 was sitting on the electric guitar track). I'm sure it wouldnt take long to jiggle them around correctly, but as the song is 25% too fast anyway, I didnt think it was worth messing around with it anymore.
So, anymore suggestions?

Follow-up to archived thread "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide"

I hoped to be able to add a reply to the most recent reply on March 8 in the "Another Error (I think) In the 12.1 New Features Guide" thread (https://community.oracle.com/thread/3526588), but since that thread has been archived, I am doing what was suggested elsewhere: create a new thread referencing the old one. My reply is:
Thank you for your explanation about preferring PDF over HTML. That is perfectly fine and understandable. Also, we very much appreciate your documentation feedback in this forum, and encourage you to continue to report any issues here.
I apologize for not replying much sooner. I either didn't get or overlooked an original notification about "Recent activity" after your reply; otherwise, I would have replied then.

Thanks for that comment. I have sent a pointer to it to the writer for that book. Note that with the New Features Guide, most of the content is automatically drawn from an internal system that tracks projects and features; so if a change is needed, the writer will notify the owner of that content (typically a developer or a product manager) to investigate and (if necessary) modify the underlying data, after which the changed information will be picked up for a future revision of the book.
Also, while anyone is welcome to enter documentation comments in this forum, another option that may be more convenient for comments on specific sections is the Reader Comment area at the bottom of each HTML page (such as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17906/chapter1.htm#NEWFT495 for the page containing Section 1.5.9.8). Any comments entered in a Reader Comment area go to someone in our documentation production group, who forwards them to the appropriate writers.
However, if a comment involves multiple HTML pages or books, or if you want the matter to be in a public forum for visibility and searchability, posting in this forum is a good option.

In desperate need of a new laptop! Should I go with the MBP Retina, MBP, or MB Air?

I am in need of a new computer, but I have no idea which one I want to get. I really need some advice. Here is all the info I think you all would need to help me out:
Currently I have a 15-inch 2008/2009 Macbook Pro with these stats:
4.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
500 GB SATA hard drive with 122 GB not in use
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
I use my computer for:
Fairly heavy e-mail and word processing
About 50 GB of music in my iTunes library
Moderate photoshop and illustrator use
Moderate photo editing
Light video editing (in imovie)
Heavy internet use (rarely have less than 10 tabs open at a time)
Light game playing (Sims etc)
I like my computer to be fairly portable and light, but I wouldn't sacrifice everything else for the lightest computer on the market. However, I do find my current Mac Book Pro to be too heavy.
Computers I am considering:
Macbook Pro 13"
Macbook Pro Retina 13" or 15"
Macbook Air 13"
(not sure of which configuration on any of them, though)
These are my thoughts about my options:
MBPro 13inch:
PRO: Lighter than my current mac
PRO: Fairly inexpensive (as far as macs go)
PRO: upgradability (if I ever wanted to)
CON: No quad-core... will I miss it if I've never had it? Do I need it?
CON: Small speaker (to keep fullsize keyboard) Does anyone know of any issues with this?
Screen size is completely fine for me.
PRO: Easily portable, fits well in a purse. Not too heavy.
MBPro Retina
PRO: It's freaking beautiful.
PRO: Both are lightweight and portable, 13" moreso.
PRO: Flash memory (from what I've been told, it's better because of no moving parts?)
PRO: Can get quad-core with 15"
PRO: Awesome speakers
CON: More $$ (though not the biggest decision maker)
Unsure: Would have to use an adapter for Ethernet (which I don't use frequently)
CON: not upgradable (not necessarily a con, but it seems like a big issue)
Unsure: The Retina screen. I'm worried about certain apps not working for it yet (I'm a hardcore chrome user)
MB Air:
PRO: Very lightweight and portable
PRO: It's very aesthetically pleasing.
CON: Not customizable (again, I'm kind of undecided on this)
CON: It seems like it's not very powerful?
CON: I'm worried that it's not enough to support my usage.
I have plans to buy an iMac in the next few months, probably around February or March. On that I could do all of my major photoshop work and graphics design, etc. But I don't want to get something that won't support my needs until then.

Walk into an Apple Store or call the online Apple Store. The sales staff will be more than happy to help you with your concerns and help you make your decision.

Do you have any clue? Have several issues on a new MacBookPro but it's propably "PEBKAC" made..
Uffe

It is Command+r or for the online internet system it is Command+option/Alt+r keys. Then you use Disk Utility to erase the macintosh partition, from the built in recovery hd, or you can repartition the drive as one partition from the online system.
To actually get to the online internet system you have to hold that key combo down until you see a globe on the screen. Otherwise it will just boot from the built in recovery hd on the internal drive.

I am thinking I need a whole new motherboard
