Is my screen broken or hinges?

Hello,
This is my early 2011 unibody macbook pro. It has had a loose screen (falls down when I open it more than about 90 degrees) and also wobbled up and down from the left side. Today it somewhat broke. Can someone please let me know what the problem is. By that I mean does it require a new screen or new hinges etc. Thanks.

Thanks for helping. Its a 13 inch. I think it broke like 2 years ago when i threw it open on the bed. But it came off today. Before this it was all loose. Can you please check the link I posted to see if that is the right thing I require. Thank you. Screen is not damaged.

Broken left hinge on pavilions M6

hi my daughters pavillion m6-1004saa has also just broken on the left hinge and it's pushing out the bezel for the screen. it seems this is an inherrent fault judging by all the other posts? could we have some help from 'jeff' please? hoping you can help as we only bought this in nov 2012, but it was from currys so we cant go back to the retailerhoping you can helplinda

Like many other owners of an HP Pavilion M6 notebooks I too have a broken left hinge and was quoted a large ammount of money to have it repaired. When it seems to be an inherent problem with their product as I have seen by the many complaints. This problem as far as I can see, HP have not offered to fix as an agreed fault but only if paid for by the customer, who's only mistake was to buy a faulty product.I have never dropped my Pavilion and always use a padded bag designed for notebooks and since all customer complaints regarding the hinge seem to be identical in the LEFT Hinge, HP should come to the party and repair them for free.As a well known saying goes here in Australia "Not Happy Jan ! " which was coined from a TV add and has now been added to our venacular.I will not buy HP again.

Why lock a perfectly innocuous post about a broken PowerBook hinge?

Very odd.
Some chap below said that his hinge had broken, that Applecare told him to take it to an Applestore to get them to determine if it was warrantable, but set his expectation that he would spend $500 repairing a 2 year old machine that he did not break.
He asks for advice, mentions that he's furious and the topic is locked.
Seemed like a perfectly reasonable thread to me. Just wondering what terms justify locking that particular thread and stopping that poor chap getting advice from the Apple community.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the response. I Can't say I agree with your points at all.
a) Forum for technical problems only?
This is what Apple say on the subject;
"Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum that enables anyone who uses Apple products to meet and discuss various topics, resolve issues, ask questions, get tips and advice, and more".
If what you say about technical problems is written somewhere, perhaps you could point us to it.
Seem to me that he had a mechanical problem, completely legitimate.
He asked for advice on how to deal with the issue he had. He got advice. Nobody told him what to do - when I make a post, usually, the post allows me to decide if I want to mark it answered. His was locked. Doesn't that strike you as a bit strange?
His original question expressed a bit of frustration at being told he'd likely have to pay $500 for what he considered a hardware failure or design fault. He wasn't rude, profane or unreasonable in what he originally wrote, otherwise he wouldn't have got replies.
His follow up to the advice he got was to tell us what he was going to do and to promise to keep us posted.
"Odd thing was I had just used it right before it broke. I simply Opened the screen in the upward direction and heard something almost like a crack. Didn't think much of the noise and when I opened it to its upright position it had broke. That simple. No force whatsoever. Thats the most upsetting part. It's simply rediculous. If this has happened and Apple has received repairs specifically this type, the lightbulb should go on and say, "Hey we have a bunch of people with the SAME EXACT PROBLEM going on here. What can we do to rectify the problem and fix this." It's a simple recall just like what they did with the batteries. Enough people complain and something gets taken care of. Anyway, thanks for the luck. I am taking it to the Apple store this weekend to have them look at it. I will post my experiance as soon as I can. Hope this helps people who have had the SAME problem as me. "
Doesn't sound like whining, sounds like he was going to do something about it and like he wants a resolution to a legitimate complaint in an expensive 2 year old machine. A pretty reasonable response to the advice he got, I thought. He actually went to the trouble of explaining how he experienced the fault as he said "to help people who have had the SAME problem as me"
There are loads of posts here which have been going for months and months asking questions and debating issues - e.g. the Powerbook lines issue for example.
I'm just struggling to understand why someone has locked this particular post. I don't agree with your assertion that the poster is merely whining or has had his problem solved.
So for the moment I am still wondering;
Why lock a perfectly innocuous post about a broken PowerBook hinge?

I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

I cannot use the bottom part of my touch screen. It would not respond to any of the touches I make. Is the screen broken or have I stuffed up my settings? I want to be able to type on my iPhone

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have the problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple.

I dropped my iPhone 4, then the screen broken. It still can function. But I still wonder if I can fix or replace it. Does iPhone have warranty?

Iphone has a one year warranty, but just like any other warranty on any other product it does not cover damage that you do to the product.
You can get an out of warranty replacement:
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$199
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."

I have mi new ipad screen broken in one corner, I was really disappointed because it was drop from about 30 cm so I was not expecting the screen to be broken, well I went to apple store in regents street in London and I was told that I have to pay 250 pounds for the screen replacement, it was a rip off and after many years using apple products I have expend thousands of pounds on them, I just think is a rip off price. It will be difficult but I won't be buying any apple products anymore, I really feel like I was abuse that was half of the price of a new iPad. I have never complain in my life but this time I think apple is abusing me as a costumer.
I'm really upset, I'm furious that apple uses his dominance in the market to Rip off costumers like me.

Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
You can get the glass replaced at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, the Apple warranty will be voided.

Broken left hinge on Spectre XT Ultrabook

I'm now one of the many HP users with a Spectre XT Ultrabook with a broken left hinge. Like most others in this forum, the laptop has been has never been carefully used and looked after but since the defect occurred out of warrantly HP won't offer support or replacement. Given the large number of people with this exact problem, it's CLEARLY a design nd/or manufacturing defect, so what are our options? Repair? Replacement? I desperately need this laptop for work...

Hello HarleyGuy06,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message after the weekend from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details)
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

How to replace G4 ibook screen assembly and hinges

My son dropped his iBook when it was open. The fall torqued the hinges so that the wires are showing, there's a quarter inch gap at the back, and the screen assembly has come away from the bottom of the screen. However, the LCD screen itself seems to be fine. I recently purchased on ebay a complete screen assembly with hinges that contains a dead LCD screen, and was wondering whether putting the undamaged screen in this used assembly and reconnecting it to the ibook is something I can do at home. If not, any idea what a repair shop would charge? Thanks!

There may be an appropriate DIY guide to removing and replacing displays
and other parts in the iBook online; keeping in mind if there is an AppleCare
plan in effect, unauthorized repairs on non-covered repairs will likely void
the remainder of the warranty on the rest of the computer.
That said, places like this online have some guides which may help a user
look into a computer no longer under any warranty. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/
Companies who specialize in repairing Apple portables
and whose staff technicians are factory trained, can
restore function to an Apple computer and often w/o
interfering with any residual warranty on the rest of it.
There are several, but I have experience with wegenermedia
dot com in South Carolina, since they fixed an iBook of mine.
Others are out there, and can be contacted directly by email.
Wegenermedia has their own parts inventory; they would
be able to help you get the computer together again.

Iphone 6 screen broken can the store retrieve pictures

iphone 6 screen broken can the store retrieve pictures
If I bring my phone to the apple store can they retrieve my pictures for me.

Sorry, but if your screen is looked by a password and TouchID is not activated, you can't transfer the photos to a different computer, without using the touch screen.
Did you try to transfer them to your computer?

They do not know where your phone is yet because it has not had enough time to go through the process yet. I also started to worry when two weeks had passed and my iPhone 5S was still showing not received on the status website. That's when I joined this forum to see if anyone else was having the same problem. What I found out was that some people had been given reduced value for their trade in, but I also found posts from people like myself that were worried that their phone was lost and then came back and posted a week or two later that they had received their gift card.
I decided to chill and give it some time and about a week later my gift card arrived. If it had been for less than the promised amount I would no doubt still be upset and posting about it like the many posts I still see on here on a regular basis.
This is no doubt a popular program for Verizon. I would imagine there have been thousands of phones traded in. There are going to be at least some screw ups in the process. There is no point in getting ahead of yourself and assuming your case will be one of the screw ups unless it already is. Verizon has been consistently posting that it could take 4-6 weeks for processing. You will at some point likely hear the status on your traded-in phone. Patience would not hurt in this case.
