I mashed the buttons and now my L200P doesn't work!

Hi guys,
I recently bought a second-hand ThinkVision L200P. I installed it behind a large sheet of glass, which seems to have had the unfortunate effect of pressing all the buttons at once for an extended period of time, and now my L200P doesn't display an image.
I opened up the L200P case (it's second hand) and took out the little 'button bar' PCB to make sure none of them were stuck in. By pressing the little switches on the PCB, I see the following behaviour:
Upon pressing the power button, I see the 'IBM Thinkpad' splashscreen for a moment, then it disappears. I think it used to then say 'Power Saving mode' but it doesn't anymore.
Upon presssing and holding the menu button for 10 seconds, I get the message 'Menu Locked'. If I press and hold for a further 10 seconds, I get 'Menu Unlocked'. The text is clear and bright green
None of the other buttons appear to do anything, even after pressing them many times and holding them for long periods
Powering on while holding 'left' and 'right' arrows does nothing
Holding 'right' arrow without any connectors in does nothing
My hunch is that mashing the buttons has somehow, say, turned down the brightness and contrast and locked the menu or something. But I don't know how to undo it.
What should be my next step? Like I said I've opened the case, so I'd be happy to 'hard reset' the unit by shorting a jumper or something.
Regards,
Richard.

Lcd screen are not consumer serviceable parts.......... it is not like a laptop. There is no hard reset in LCD monitors like you are suggesting. You would need a new PCB from somewhere, you could try to source a broken L200p and salvage that part, but other than that there is little you can do.

What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

Dropped my ipod touch 1st gen on the floor and now it completely doesn't work. Since the first generation is discontinued, could I exchange it for a newer version?

My iPod Touch 1st Generation fell off the bed and now does not work. The screen didn't crack or anything but it won't turn on or do anything. I tried resetting it but that did not help at all. The computer recognizes when the iPod is plugged in but the iPod does nothing. I was wondering if I could exchange it, but since the 1st gen iPod is discontinued, could I exchange it for the newer version? Or even just return it?

You can only turn it into your local Apple store to be recycled for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. That's it though.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work

I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work. And when I go to update iphoto, it says it cant be downloaded onto my computer.

Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Updated to OS4 and now my phone doesn't work!!

Updated my phone to the new OS4 and now my phone doesn't work. It says I have to do a system restore for it to work. If I do a system restore won't that erase all of my photos? Is there anything I can do so I won't lose any of my infomation? I have tons of photos on my phone. If anyone could help me out, I would be grateful.
When I turn the phone on it shows a picture of the usb cable and the itunes logo. I don't want to do a system restore if I don't have to. I don't want to lose my pictures. HELP Please!!

That is one lesson we all have to learn. Backup. Did you backup your iphone regularly? If you did, your photos will backup with it and the restore will put it back on the phone. If you didn't, I am sorry to say that there is probably no way to get those precious moments back. I found that out the hard way years ago. I now learned to backup my computer and iphones at least once a month.

I updated the new OS7.2 version, and now my iPad doesn't work at all.

I updated my iPad with OS7.2 version, and now my iPad is not working at all. The screen had a frozen iTunes icon with the diagram of the charging cord. I can't turn it on or off. What do I do?

You need to start iTunes on your computer and connect the iPad to the computer. Tis will allow you to go through the restore process. Be sure to update iTunes to version 11.1 before connecting your iPad.

Macbook EFI firmware update 2.7 update and now my wifi doesn't work!

I did the EFI 2.7 update and now when I open the laptop from sleep on any wifi network it does work, and says im connected in wireless yet on safari im "not connected to the internet" after switching from one wifi network and then back to the original and waiting 30 seconds it finally works, i shouldnt have to fiddle and screw around with wifi on this computer when before the update it worked fine. I expect a fix from apple dang fast or if some one can tell me how to uninstall it, because it did nothing but ruin my computer experience. Very upset with apple right now.

I had the same problem, but was able to solve it by resetting the SMC control..
1) Power off the machine
2) HOLD OPTION + CONTROL + SHIFT + PRESS POWER BUTTON
3) Then release,
4) THEN POWER ON normally
This worked for me..

I recently downloaded the ios7 and now my notifications won't work, I've tried everything

I downloaded the iOS7 two days ago, and my push notifications don't seem to work at all. When my friends message me on kik, whatsapp or iMessage i don't receive anything. I've tried rebooting, changing the wifi setting to 8.8.8.8, connecting it to my computer, resetting the settings and I'm still in the same situation.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated as this is very frustrating.

Have you tried a reset?
Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I installed two 512 dimms of RAM and now my monitor doesn't work!

My G5 tower came stock with 2 dims of 256K. I just installed an additional two 512 Dimms and turned on the computer, only to find that there is now NO picture! I took out the dimms and turned it on with just the originals installed and same thing. I blew out the entire cabinet with compressed air and turned it on again and same thing...nothing! It seems that my computer is fried. Is this possible? Is this a common problem when installing RAM? I'm sure the dimms are in all the way. They fully click in and fit just fine. Anybody have any suggestions, before I take my computer to a MAC store and probably pay way to much to have it fixed? Thanks.

Hi! Did you buy ram that was guaranteed to be for the Mac model? Second, sometimes after messing with hardware a pmu/smu reset is necessary. The early G5's have a tiny button on the motherboard that you should push once with everything unhooked. On the later ones unhook everything (all external cables) and let it sit for 30 minutes. Tom

I have the same problem but your advice did not work for me. Pehaps I do not understand your directions. What do you mean by "go to where you saved the album artwork"? I never had any problem adding new artwork until I installed iTunes version 11.1.3 (8). Now I can't add new artwork anymore. Is there a special file in this version of iTunes where I should be saving the artwork I want to add to make it work? Before I could save it anywhere.
If you downloaded the artwork from the Internet. It'll be in your downloads folder. Open the folder, and "drag" the image from the folder to the Artwork box in the Info pane as shown:
When you see the "+" you know it's ready to drop, and it will add the artwork to ALL selected tracks as soon as you click "OK".
