Is my display broken now?

Hello,
Cinema Display 23"
Yesterday I disabled the screensaver and forgot to turn it back on. Today I printed some stuff and wasn't in front of the computer for about 2 hours. When I came back the PDF window was burned into the screen. Now I can clearly see the shape of the window and some text in the screen. Is there any chance that this will go away?

Yes, it will go away eventually. Apple outlines a procedure for getting rid of it.

Running recovery when laptop display broken

computer needs a recovery run and set back to factory settings. the problem is that the display on the mini notebook is broken and we are running on a monitor. We can activate the recovery process from windows but once it restarts and is doing the recovery (i assume) it does not return to the monitor it attempts to display on the broken mounted display. I cannot access bios because during startup it again uses only the mounted display and does not utilize the monitor we have connected. Is there someway to access the recovery program within the windows environment. Is there someway to have the mini laptop use the monitor instead of built in display without going into bios. Again I cannot access bios since the mini laptop does not utilize the monitor until windows is started. Would like to return windows to factory settings but cannot see the recovery program since it runs outside of windows. Mini laptop only uses externl monitor while in windows, so accessing bios is impossible and accessing recovery program impossible.
How do I make mini utitlize external monitor instead of mounted (broken) display as primary so that startup process is visible and perhaps I can access bios or run recoverey successfully?
problem
1. mounted display broken, unuseable
2. want to return windows to factory settings
3. would like to access bios
4. using external monitor but this only works within windows environment
How do I make the mini laptop utilize the external monitor so as to view startup and bios and recovery?

Hi @ranx,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a superb place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you are having an issue with trying to do a recovery with an external monitor. When using the external monitor the bios screen may not be visible but you should be able to just let the recovery complete.
You can do a recovery from within Windows.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7) as a guide. There is a video within the docment for you to view.
During the process there is an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. If you have not already done one, now is a good time.

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHero

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

CRM2007 unicode system display broken charactor downloaded non-unicode R/3.

Hi all
CRM2007 is only unicode system and R/3 is 620 non_unicode system.
CRM2007 unicode system display broken charactor downloaded data from non-unicode R/3.
how can I do??
any help
thanks

Lee,
Technically it is not supported. You could change a few middleware settings to transmit the bdocs as XML to prevent issues, but really if your CRM is unicode then ERP needs to be unicode and vice-versa.
Only exception is that generally the english code-page non-unicode works okay with unicode english.
You can adjust CRMRFCPAR for the bdoc to transmit in xml vs native.
Take care,
Stephen

MY IPHONE 3GS START TO GET REALLY HOT, AND AFTER THAT ALMOST EXPLODE...ITS BROKEN NOW.... THE BATTERY GETS FAT... WHATS THE SOLUTION NOW???

Unfortunately it looks like your 3GS' battery has expanded so much that it cracked the whole case wide open. If you have AppleCare on your device then you're all set, just take it to your local Apple Store.
If not, then still take it to the store. Complain about the battery bursting, and make sure to tell them that it's for sure a defect (you'd think it's obvious, but sometimes you just need to drive the point in), and that it potentially could have been and still be a hazard.
Remind them that the phone has not been in any adverse conditions, extreme temperatures, or abused in any way but that you just merely used it normally. (I'm assuming that's the truth?)
If they're good about it they should replace the broken phone for you; but unfortunately there's little chance of repairing your current device.

Iphone has a one year warranty.

I bought a Macbook Pro in August 2011, so it has been only 16 months up to now. However, its logic board is broken now. Can I ask 1) where can I buy this mainboard?, and 2) how much does it cost?. Thank you

This is one instance where you'll curse yourself for not having bought the AppleCare Warranty extension and gotten the board for free.
Anyway, get your model number handy and go look up the parts in www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com amongst other places. They've also have videos or photo pictorials on how to do the replacement. Not altogether trivial, be sure to spread the adequate amount of thermal paste on the CPU and GPU, else you'll fry the new board in short order again.

iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

My iphone 6 display broken

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Preflight panel not displaying / broken

The Preflight panel will not display. Invoking it from the main menu (Window > Output > Preflight), or the bottom of the document window or via the keyboard shortcut - none of them work - the preflight panel appears for the briefest moment and then disappears. No other part of the interface appears to be broken or behave the same way.
System
Mac OS 10.6.8, InDesign CC version 9 and Indesign CC version 9.1
Previous versions:
Exact same behaviour in CS6 (8.0.1)
Works fine in CS5.5 (v7.5.3)
Steps taken to troubleshoot:
Replicated the problem in a Mac OS X guest account.
Replicated the problem after resetting the preferences (as described in Troubleshooting 101 post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990?start=160&tstart=0 )
Tried disabling preflight (via bottom-of-document preflight menu). Tried creating new profiles.
Deleted / reinstalled the preflight profiles?
Not sure how I might do this, but it has occured to me this might be worth pursuing.
Using non-standard preflight profiles ?
No, using the supplied preflight profile.
Any troubleshooting advice appreciated...

The behavior you describe is not normal, and not reported by other users, making it highly unlikely to be a bug, and very likely to be some sort of configuration issue on your system, some other program running in the background or a third party plugin causing a conflict, for example.
All of a sudden I have this right now. Preflight and conditional text panels empty. Preferences already trashed - no change. Seems to me like a damaged source file.
While thinking about how to make both panels work as usual again, I wanted to repair the CS6 installation. Well, Adobe's installer does not offer a repair option...
Update: creating a new user on Windows made the panel appear normal again. So it seems the registration of Indesign's plugins is corrupt. Well, then let's reinstall it...

External Samsung Display broken @ 1920x1080 after Lion upgrade

Hi,
The more I use Mac OS 10.7 Lion the more I notice it's defects and the more I get upset with it.
After the WIFI issue (wifi network does not reconnect after sleep mode) I am now facing an issue with my external display.
I have actually two MacBook Pro unibody from 2009. One is a 13' with Mac OS X 10.6.8 the second one is a 15' from the same year recently upgraded to Lion 10.7. I used to watch movies on my Samsung TV using a VGA cable connected to a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter with the TV native resolution of 1920x1080.
It used to work flalessly on my MBP 15' 10.6.8 but since the Lion upgrade the screen seems not to support this mode anymore. The image on the TV apprears for 2 seconds then disappears for 3 seconds and so on...
I checked that the very same configuration still works on the MBP 13' with 10.6.8.
It clearly means that Lion broke this.... oh crap....
I was really expecting less bugs from Apple. Well at least I am now expecting a way to fix this issue.
PLEASE.

Good News Here
I was able to fix my problem, i called the Apple Support to report my issue, they pointed me to this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
So here is *exactly* what I did, step by step, to solve my issue:
1. Shut down the Mac,
2. Press the power button to start the computer,
3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) key and the "s" key for single-user mode (Command-S)
4. At the prompt, type the command "mount -uw /" and press Return.
5. Now do the following:
> rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist (press return)
> cd /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost (press return)
(Replace the text "<username>" above with your username, which is also the name of your Home folder)
> rm com.apple.windowserver.*.plist (press return)
> reboot (READ the next item BEFORE pressing return, you will need to reset your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM, the next point explains how)
6. When rebooting press and hold the "Command", "Option", "P" and "R" keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the SECOND time.
7. Release the keys to proceed with normal startup.
8. Once ready, connect your external display and... pray.
For me it worked, I now have my full HD resolution (1920x1080) back on my Samsung TV.
Hope it works for you too guys, keep me posted !
Cheers,
Xavier
