I think I ruined my motherboard or battery

Yesterday I opened up my computer to clean it and I touched the mother board I was so corious, then after I closed it it won't turn on, Its really the stupidiest think I have ever done in my life, does warranty covers it? also if I plug the charger it doesnt show up the green light, pleas someone help me!
Its a mac book pro mid 2012, 13 inches

Touching the logic board in itself does not cause this type of failure.
Taking the back off does not void the warranty.
Sounds more like the battery connection is not tight.
take it in for a free assessment.

I think I ruined my motherboard

I opened my mac yersterday just to clean the dust for a long time I bought it on february of 2012, its a mac book pro 13" , I was surprised of how cool it looked and I touched to mother board and that it just touched it, cleaned the dust and then when I put the cover again I doesnt turn on, Im so sad my mac was like my baby, when I plug the charger it appear a slighty green light.
Does anybody have any idea what could have happened? do you think the warranty will cover this? thanks everybody

you sure you just touched it?
touched WHAT on the logic board?
use any solvents?
what did you DUST it with?
static charge likely fried it.....NOT you touching
static discharge from your "dusting"

Not quite what I heard when I went into the Apple Store in Hong Kong yesterday.
I have just bought an iPad in Hong Kong but will eventually be travelling back to the UK.
Louis in the Apple Store told me that iPads without cellular have international warranty but those with cellular do not (as there are slightly different models for different carriers).
But he was pretty cagey and essentially couldn't give a clear, straightforward answer. Which most Apple employees can't.
It is now a grey area, at the discrection of each local Apple Store & is subject, it seems, to you paying the import duty as a possible get out clause.
Look carefully but do tell us if you got this iPad reapired. Thanks.

TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?

I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?

When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives. If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

IPhone turns off, thinking it has run out of battery

From time to time (every second or third day) my iPhone turns off thinking it has run out of battery. This is despite the battery % stating it still has a significant amount of power remaining. I have seen it turn off at 17%, 25% and today 38%. When I try to turn it back on by holding down the on/off butting, the screen displays the out of battery screen, telling me to plug it into a charger. When I plug it into a charger, the phone comes back on, and already has the same amount of charge as it did before it turned off. So in today's case when I plugged it back it, and it powered up, the phone had 38% of battery immediately.
What can I do to fix this so the phone uses all its battery life?
Thanks

For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

New motherboard and battery re-setup TIME MACHINE issue

i am trying to run a time machine backup after having gotten a new motherboard and a new battery at mac repair and this time machine prompt is confusing me. does anyone know what it means and what i should do with it?

ai. i am feeling very stupid today or i am dealing with too many computer issues.
i have a new motherboard which means it thinks i have a new machine. from the url it appears that /adding/ backups to the existing backups is not possible?
i mean, the last two paragraphs here are very confusing. is my case the first case or the second case or do i have an option here?
"If you are replacing an old Mac with a new one, and want the new one to use the backups from the old computer, click Inherit Backup.
If you plan to continue to use your old computer, click Create New Backup to preserve the old computer’s backup history and start separate backups for the new computer.
i am supposed to click "inherit backup history" even though "create new backup" preserves the old computer's backup history?
for some reason i am not understanding the options here but i THINK i want to try and retain any files that may have been changed or accidentally deleted on the computer so i can go back and retrieve them (if this is possible of course). AND if it isn't possible shouldn't i be wiping the drive clean and starting again??
THANKS

I think I ruined my Macbook Pro...

I was watching TV last night when I reached for a bottle of water and knocked it onto my laptop's keyboard. I immediately grabbed a towel and dried it off as best as I could... It still worked, but I noticed some of the keys wouldn't respond to typing so I turned my laptop off in order to dry out; I figured it since it was just water everything would be OK in the morning once it dried.
Well it's been +12 hours and the keys that didn't work after the spill still don't work. Is my laptop ruined? I can't even log in, now, since some of the keys that won't work are keys needed for my password...
If it is indeed ruined, would I be able to plug another keyboard in (maybe via USB port?) so that I can still use it until it can be replaced, or would that require me to log on to install software?
Thanks

It's really important to turn the Mac over and drain out as much water as you can, and then remove the battery and let it dry for at least 3 days, and preferably 5-7 before attempting to put power to it. The length of time will vary--if you live in the high desert as I do with 6% humidity like I do, 5-7 days is recommended by the local AASP. If you are in a humid area, let it dry longer, and maybe seal it up with a desiccant like Neuroanatomist suggests. Keep in mind that water can work its way deeper into the machine over time, so it is really important not to put power to it too soon. The machine needs to be bone dry.
The good news is that water is one of the more innocuous things to spill. There is a very good chance that once it is totally dry, everything will work.
Good luck!

I think something is wrong with my battery. Only works when plugged in.

My battery says its fully charged but only works when I keep it plugged in. I was using it yesterday and it just shut off randomly and started this stuff. I have no idea what I should do. Help?
It's a 2007 black MacBook if that makes a difference.

Even though it says Normal the Cycle count is well above the 300 considered the maximum for the battery. Plus your Amperage is at 0.
You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

What is acceptable Satellite M35 Motherboard CMOS battery Voltage range?

Re: What is a good Toshiba Satellite M35 CMOS battery Voltage range?
Part Number: P71035016113
I pulled this part out of my Toshiba and its reading 2.75 Volts.
Is that the proper voltage?
If not, is it in an acceptable range to keep and not have to replace?

I think I ruined a SuperDuper backup with TM

I use Super Duper once a day to create a bootable backup, and TM to back up files on an hourly basis. (If anyone can suggest a better system, please do!)
I won't go into why, because I don't think it is relevant, but I have to totally restore my hard drive. In trying to restore from TM, I accidentally restored to my SuperDuper backup drive, not my internal hard drive. I noticed the mistake and stopped the restore. However, now my SuperDuper backup is no longer named what it was named before. Now it has the same name as the internal drive I was trying to restore from TM. I am afraid that means I made the same mistake before, did not notice it, and wiped out my Super Duper backup.
If I made the mistake only once and stopped the process, would TM still have changed the name of that volume?
Are there any specific signs I can look for to determine if my Super Duper backup is intact, or if it got wiped out and replace with a TM backup?
I hope this is clear—thanks for your time.

Thank you again, Pondini.
Sure. And thanks for the stars.
After your explanation that a restoration from TM is bootable, I began to wonder what the purpose of my Super Duper or your CarbonCopyCloner is. Is it merely to avoid having to reboot from the Leopard disk and restore from TM, or is there another purpose(s) for it?
Two reasons: First, when your HD dies, you can boot and run from the clone immediately; you have to wait to get your HD repaired (or you have another external disk/partition) to restore from TM.
Second is a bit like a belt plus suspenders. No app is perfect, and all backup apps depend on hardware, which is also not perfect. Plus, TM, being so very fancy and sophisticated, and fairly new, may not be quite as reliable as CCC, SD, or the like.
And backups are one area where many of us have learned, often the hard way, that +Paranoia is Prudent!+

I just purchased new shuffle thinking my old one was done (battery, etc...it was old). plugging in the new shuffle yielded the same loop message "ITunes detected device in recovery mode, you must restore this ipod before it can be used with Itunes".

I'm having the same loop message appear when trying to sync my new Ipod Shuffle "Itunes has detected a device in recovery mode. You must restore this device before it can be used w/ Itunes".
I've restored several times but it keeps looping back to the same message. Turns out this message appeared with my last shuffle and I thought possibly the shuffle battery was depleted and it was time to get a new one.
any suggestions?

If you restore from backup.
You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway. Did you fail to do that?
All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc. Did you fail to do that?

Are you thinking of a new motherboards

was just over at slashdot and spotted a pointer to this:cool:

I'm old school: I like my ON/OFF switch- gives me absolute control over those dam' cylons (and the MAX energy saving). The problem these days is everybody trying to juggle too many things in the air at the same time, and giving up our free will and power of decision in the process. But I'll stop here with the propaganda.

I think I ruined the protective plastic window on my iSight webcam. Help!

I was trying to clean my iSight webcam. Used some glasses cleaner spray. And tried wiping it with a glasses cleaning cloth. But there seemed to be a white speck on the cover so I might have gotten a little rough scraping at it. And it looks like the cover is all messed up now. As if there was a tint on it that is scratched of from most of it, so there are dark and light parts on it now. Does anyone know how I could get a new plastic piece for it? Is this going to take a lot of time and be expensive?

My macbook pro 2009, was stored in a Speck case and rubbermaid stoage tote that was left in a RV over the winter in WI that sat outside all winter. Is it ruined? will I be able to still use it and all my data? I don't currently have it with me.

Is it ruined? will I be able to still use it and all my data? I don't currently have it with me. I am just hoping that when I get it back it will work for me. Any tips, help, support would be helpful! Thank you!

Storage temperature is listed as down to -13º F
Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-24° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet
Maximum storage altitude: 15,000 feet
Maximum shipping altitude: 35,000 feet
So I would think you're OK . The battery will need a charge but I don;t see any reason why there should be a problem as long as there was no water involved.
