Losing my patience with repair of an x201!!

I have an x201. The unit ran flawlessly needed no service repairs since I bought it. In December, I head gridning noises related to the fan bearings. I know its the fan because expereinced similar with my T61, which the depot service fixed properly in the past.
So I send mine into the depot despite having an onsite warranty. What I got back was a new motherboard when I only needed a fan. Fact is the motherboard is probably refurbished. There was nothing wrong with mine. I only needed a fan. OK, so nothing I could do about it.
But when I got the notebook back, it also had a really strong perfume smell. I mean really strong. The sheet says the machine was cleaned. But the person who cleaned it destroyed my screen. It seems the bezel was wiped and whatever cleaner was used smeared onto the edges of the screen. Also there were splatter marks on the screen. So I'm livid and call Lenovo and they agree to swap the screen. I chose onsite service as I lost confidence in what would happen if I shipped it to the depot again.
I get a technician from company contracted by Lenovo to show up onsite. He replaces the screen but damaged one of the tabs on the bezel. The result is a huge gap on both sides with the bezel not being flush. He explained they can gnerally be used only once. Fine, I'm calm and let him order another one. He puts it on today, is in a rush and would not let me check things and took off. I find a big gap near the hinge. I text him ask if he wants to fix and he says no call IBM and ask for another tech. Fine, I don't want someone like that working on my notebook.
Can I please get some competent help that I can have comfidence in? All I needed was a new fan but so far you are making me lose confidence in the repair process by creating problem after problem. All I want is competent help to remedy things so I can stop wasting time on this.

No worries.
Moved it for you.
Regards.

  • Losing my patience with install of iPhoto

    I have tried all of the suggestions in the discussion in regards to getting iPhoto to print. Nothing works. I have reinstalled this program for the 4th time and am still not able to print. I can click the button but nothing happens. Running a G4 mirrored door mac 1.25 dual. Printing to an Epson CX6400 printer with gimp print installed. Does anyone have any suggestions before I just fling the disc out the window?

    Handybear:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you run the latest security update released by Apple? If so did the printing issue begin after that? It seems that the security update messed with printing and there's a fix for it. If that's the case see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6860519&#6860519.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Full Load" and "Full load with Repair full request"

    Hello Experts,
    Can any body share with me what is the difference between a "Full Load" and "Full load with Repair full request"?
    Regards.

    Hi......
    What is function of full repair?? what it does?
    How to delete init from scheduler?? I dont see any option like that in infopackage
    For both of you question there is a oss note 739863-Repairing data in BW ..........Read the following.....
    Symptom
    Some data is incorrect or missing in the PSA table or in the ODS object (Enterprise Data Warehouse layer).
    Other terms
    Restore data, repair data
    Reason and Prerequisites
    There may be a number of reasons for this problem: Errors in the relevant application, errors in the user exit, errors in the DeltaQueue, handling errors in the customers posting procedure (for example, a change in the extract structure during production operation if the DeltaQueue was not yet empty; postings before the Delta Init was completed, and so on), extractor errors, unplanned system terminations in BW and in R/3, and so on.
    Solution
    Read this note in full BEFORE you start actions that may repair your data in BW. Contact SAP Support for help with troubleshooting before you start to repair data.
    BW offers you the option of a full upload in the form of a repair request (as of BW 3.0B). If you want to use this function, we recommend that you use the ODS object layer.
    Note that you should only use this procedure if you have a small number of incorrect or missing records. Otherwise, we always recommend a reinitialization (possibly after a previous selective deletion, followed by a restriction of the Delta-Init selection to exclude areas that were not changed in the meantime).
    1. Repair request: Definition
    If you flag a request as a repair request with full update as the update mode, it can be updated to all data targets, even if these already contain data from delta initialization runs for this DataSource/source system combination. This means that a repair request can be updated into all ODS objects at any time without a check being performed. The system supports loading by repair request into an ODS object without a check being performed for overlapping data or for the sequence of the requests. This action may therefore result in duplicate data and must thus be prepared very carefully.
    The repair request (of the "Full Upload" type) can be loaded into the same ODS object in which the 'normal' delta requests run. You will find this request under the "Repair Request" option in the InfoPackage (Maintenance) menu.
    2. Prerequisites for using the "Repair Request" function
    2.1. Troubleshooting
    Before you start the repair action, you should carry out a thorough analysis of the possible cause of the error to make sure that the error cannot recur when you execute the repair action. For example, if a key figure has already been updated incorrectly in the OLTP system, it will not change after a reload into BW. Use transaction RSA3 (Extractor Checker) in the source system for help with troubleshooting. Another possible source of the problem may be your user exit. To ensure that the user exit is correct, first load a user exit with a Probe-Full request into the PSA table and check whether the data is correct. If it is not correct: Search for the error in the exit user. If you do not find it, we recommend that you deactivate the user exit for testing purposes and request a new Full Upload. It If the data arrives correctly, it is highly probable that the error is indeed in the user exit.
    We always recommend that you load the data into the PSA table in the first step and check the result there.
    2.2. Analyze the effects on the downstream targets
    Before you start the Repair request into the ODS object, make sure that the incorrect data records are selectively deleted from the ODS object. However, before you decide on selective deletion, you should read the Info Help for the "Selective Deletion" function, which you can access by pressing the extra button on the relevant dialog box. The activation queue and the ChangeLog remain unchanged during the selective deletion of the data from the ODS object, which means that the incorrect data is still in the change log afterwards. After the selective deletion, you therefore must not reconstruct the ODS object if it is reconstructed from the ChangeLog. (Reconstruction is usually from the PSA table but, if the data source is the ODS object itself, the ODS object is reconstructed from its ChangeLog). You MUST read the recommendations and warnings about this (press the "Info" button).
    You MUST also take into account the fact that the delta for the downstream data targets is created from the changelog. If you perform selective deletion and then reload data into the deleted area, this may result in data inconsistencies in the downstream data targets.
    If you only use MOVE and do not use ADD for updates in the ODS object, selective deletion may not be required in some cases (for example, if incorrect records only have to be changed, rather than deleted). In this case, the DataMart delta also remains intact.
    2.3. Analysis of the selections
    You must be very precise when you perform selective deletion: Some applications do not provide the option of selecting individual documents for the load process. Therefore, you must first ensure that you can load the same range of documents into BW as you would delete from the ODS object. This note provides some application-specific recommendations to help you "repair" the incorrect data records.
    If you updated the data from the ODS object into the InfoCube, you can also delete it there using the "Selective deletion" function. However, if it is compressed at document level there and deletion is no longer possible, you must delete the InfoCube content and fill the data in the ODS object again after repair.
    You can only perform this action after a thorough analysis of all effects of selective data deletion. We naturally recommend that you test this first in the test system.
    The procedure generally applies for all SAP applications/extractors. The application determines the selections. For example, if you cannot use the document number for selection but you can select documents for an entire period, then you are forced to delete and then update documents for the entire period in the data target. Therefore, it is important to look first at the selections in the InfoPackage exactly before you delete data from the data target.
    Some applications have additional special features:
    Logistics cockpit: As preparation for the repair request, delete the SetUp table (if you have not already done so) and fill it selectively with concrete document numbers (or other possible groups of documents determined by the selection). Execute the Repair request.
    Caution: You can currently use the transactions that fill SetUp tables with reconstruction data to select individual documents or entire ranges of documents (at present, it is not possible to select several individual documents if they are not numbered in sequence).
    FI: The Repair request for the Full Upload is not required here. The following efficient alternatives are provided: In the FI area, you can select documents that must be reloaded into BW again, make a small change to them (for example, insert a period into the assignment text) and save them -> as a result, the document is placed in the delta queue again and the previously loaded document under the same number in the BW ODS object is overwritten. FI also has an option for sending the documents selectively from the OLTP system to the BW system using correction programs (see note 616331).
    3. Repair request execution
    How do you proceed if you want to load a repair request into the data target? Go to the maintenance screen of the InfoPackage (Scheduler), set the type of data upload to "Full", and select the "Scheduler" option in the menu -> Full Request Repair -> Flag request as repair request -> Confirm. Update the data into the PSA and then check that it is correct. If the data is correct, continue to update into the data targets.
    And also search in forum, will get discussions on this
    Full repair loads
    Regarding Repair Full Request
    Instead of doing of all these all steps.. cant I reload that failed request again??
    If some goes wrong with delta loads...it is always better to do re-init...I mean dlete init flag...full repair..all those steps....If it is an infocube you can go for full update also instead of full repair...
    Full Upload:
    In full upload all the data records are fetched....It is similar to full repair..Incase of infocube to recover missed delta records..we can run full upload.....but in case of ODS  does'nt support full upload and delta upload parallely...so inthis case you have to go for full repair...otherwise delta mechanism will get corrupted...
    Suppose your ODS activation is failing since there is a Full upload request in the target.......then you can convert full upload to full repair using the program : RSSM_SET_REPAIR _ FULL_FLAG
    Hope this helps.......
    Thanks==points as per SDN.

  • Airport extreme losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

    I have a 1st gen Time Capsule acting as my home wireless network base station which is configured to allow the wireless network to be extended.  It is also the sole DHCP server.  I have a 4th gen Airport Extreme in Extend a Wireless network mode.  Everything was running ok for several months.  However, since I upgraded both devices to Version 7.6, the Airport extreme keeps losing its connection with the network every few hours, requiring a daily reboot.  Since the problem occured, I have disabled MAC address Access Control on the Time Capsule, and allocated a reserved DHCP IP address for the Airport Extreme - but this has not solved the problem.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I had exactly the same problem. I also think it's a bug in 7.6. It seemed solved by downgrading my Time Capsule (TC) and my Airport Extreme (AE) to 7.5.2. To do so start the Airport Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities folder). Double click on the TC or AE. In the Menu at the top on your screen go to "Base Station" --> "Upload Firmware..." and the select 7.5.2. After rebooting your device, downgrade the other. Hopefully your problem is solved as well!

  • CS4 Serial # issue - Losing patience with support

    Long story but I'll try to be as succinct as possible. I have the full version of CS3 that my company purchased for me in 2007. I upgraded to CS4 this year (purchased and downloaded online) because I am using Vista 64-bit. When installing, it would not accept my CS3 serial # for the "previous version install". I had to spend an hour on the phone with tech support to get a challenge code, etc. Eventually the install was complete with the workaround process.
    However, I do hardware and software reviews for a popular website part-time so I upgrade hardware often which means I also re-install Windows & my apps often. On my next install, I had to call tech support and do the whole process over again (one of my case #'s was 180687538). This solution works but for most I suppose but due to my frequent changes, I don't have the time or patience to spend an hour on the phone with Adobe support every time I want to re-install. There has to be a better way.
    I chatted online with support last night and after an hour + of scripted and repetitious responses from the technician, I was informed that the issue stems from the CS3 being a volume license and I should contact the volume license support. I called them today and I was summarily told they could not help me and transferred me to the regular (for lack of a better term) support line for which I spent an hour on hold waiting for a rep and I finally had to hang up. I don't have that kind of time to waste, especially at work.
    Please offer me a solution to this problem. I do not wish to waste any more time on the phone or chatting with reps who can only pick out keywords and read from a script. If the volume license was an issue with the upgrade, why wasn’t I informed when I called support with the original problem? I would have “returned” the purchase at that time. I don't feel like I am asking for much here, I just want to be able to uninstall and re-install as needed without jumping through hoops.
    Thank you.

    My first response to OP is that anyone wishing to have a stable version of Photoshop would be to make as few changes to computer as possible.  I still think that is true, or at least, it's a personal rule for me.
    But on the other hand, Installation, Activation, Reactivation and Registration sure could use a lot of improvement.  As far as for tech support, it's going downhill at a fast pace.  Being switched from one tech, to another, to another simply because they don't know how to help.  And the accents always make the whole thing that much more enjoyable.

  • Losing my patience now with BT - Speed/connection

    Having wasted a Morning waiting for a Openreach engineer to attend between 8 and 1pm, who did not arrive, I am starting to lose the will with BT and there Internet service.
    Since joing BT in April I have had erratic connection on the internet.  Speeds can drop to lower than 500k in the evening with 4mb during the day being the best I can hope for.  BT suggest I should get 6mb and certainly can achieve this when they "reset" something there end - I get a a 6mb sync, which reduces over a few days with multiple Router reboots.
    I have had the router conntected directly to the TEST socket for around two months now while they try and resolve the issue.
    Below is my current Router settings - My observations are
    High CRC and FEC events (only two hours uptime)
    High Noise Ration DB's - this can drop to 6db when they do the "reset" from their end and then rises.
    Does anyone have any ideas - I am certainly not happy having wasted a Morning waiting for them to turn up.

    Hi welcome to the forum
    regarding your errors there is nothing to worry about the high fec's just shows interleaving is doing its job you could look through the post BY RogerB in this link  http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397 there are many causes of noise that can and do affect a broadband connection 
    Rebooting the router is one of the worse things you can do as to many restarts are seen by the exchange equipment as an unstable line and this will reduce your ip profile which in turn reduces download speed this thjen needs 3/5 days continuous connection to recover
    It would also help if you could post the results back here of bt speed test at this link http://speedtester.bt.com/

  • Help With Repair Permissions!

    Hi All,
    I have a June 2009 17" 2.8 UMBP. I keep getting regular Spinning Beach Balls, Lock Ups, Delays and a whole host of Trackpad Issues much like many people are experiencing with the 1.7 Firmware Update which only is supposed to affect the 13" & 15" UBMP Models. I read on another post that Apple recommended to "Verify & Repair Disk Permissions" which I done. The problems still remain and the report in "Verfiy Permissions" is exactly the same (it seems) as that of the "Repair Permissions" and where it says "Repair Permissions Complete" at the end. The "Repair Permissions" Report still says that "Permissions Differ" on all lines - how can they have been repaired if they still differ?

    How do I fix things so things do not differ? I am hoping that will then fix the issues I am experiencing with my UBMP!
    Thank You,
    Suave!

    Hi
    I think you will find that many people are suffering this very same problem with permissions, it is nothing to be too concerned about and will in all probability disappear after a system update sometime in the future.
    There was a similar problem when I had a PowerBook G4 every time you repaired permissions it showed a whole raft of errors which would not go away. Eventually Apple released a system update and they all vanished.
    It is not broken and it is not going to impact on the running of the computer in anyway.
    I have just got a new MBP and have the same permission problem but my trackpad is functioning perfectly and I don't suffer any spinning beach ball.
    I would contact Apple, or go into an Apple Store and seek advice about the trackpad and spinning beach ball as these are probably caused by other problems than permissions being wrong.

  • How can I avoid losing purchases made with an old Apple ID when I authorize my MacBook Pro under my current Apple ID?

    I am very confused!!  When I first used iTunes, I did not own any Apple products.  When I purchased my MacBook Pro and a Mobile Me subscription a few years ago, my email address @me.com became my new Apple ID.  I subsequently purchased an iPhone 3 and eventually an iPhone 4.  Apparently over this time, I have used both Apple IDs at various times.  Sometimes when I upgrade apps, the old ID will already be filled in and other times the new one will be instead.  I always use whichever one is there with the appropriate password.  This was probably a mistake.  I just realized that my MBPro is authorized under the original Apple ID and not the current one.  I tried to authorize it under the current Apple ID, but couldn't, so I was going to deauthorize it from the old one, but got a message about losing any purchases made with the original Apple ID.  I don't want that to happen.  Synching my iPhone in iTunes with my computer has been much more confusing since I got my newer iPhone. However, I don't remember anything about the process I went through to associate it with my iTunes account.  Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.

    Log into the store using the old Apple ID to re-download them, however, you can not switch them into your current Apple ID except by re-purchasing. You can contact Apple support and see if they are able to help you.

  • G4 flat panel - issues with repairing and de-fragmenting using Norton

    I have a 4 year old G4 which has started to run very slowly - time for another de-fragmentation. Problem is that the Norton Systemworks is struggling. Running Disk Dr it completes the partitions and file check but only 2/3rds of directories (it gets to attributes structure only) then I get an error notice - Unable to continue scanning Error 23005.I tried running Disk Dr three times. It suggests running volume recover which I have now done twice, on both occasions it has got virtually to the end and then I get an error message - An error has occurred while trying to Create and View Virtual Disk.
    It would seem there are issues too great for Norton to deal with. Can anyone please advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I wouldn't mind an excuse to buy a new desk top Mac but do hate to be wasteful!

    Hello ET:
    First, I suggest you TRASH the Norton software at once! Norton software (with the possible exception of AV stuff, which is unnecessary anyway) is POISON to a Mac running OS X. Many people (me included) had Norton software clobber their systems). Symantec has dropped support for Macs several years ago.
    Defragmentation, in most cases, is unnecessary on a Mac running OS X. OS X "defrags" file of less than 20 MB on the fly.
    A really good (pricey, at $90 US, but worth it) disk utility is DiskWarrior. DW is the "gold standard" of directory repair (I suspect you have some from the Norton software). A less expensive first step would be to run repair disk from your software install DVD.
    If you want a good (and inexpensive) utility to tune things up, take a look at Cocktail. Cocktail has a "pilot" function that works well (I run it once in awhile).
    Your last option (I am looking for an excuse myself) is a good one! However, you do need to get your current system in reasonable shape if you want to port data to a new system (should you take that path).
    In any event, get rid of the Norton software. Use the uninstaller that is on their website. NU hides stuff all over the system. It took me quite awhile to ferret it all out myself. I did put it on a little boat, lit it, and simulated a Viking funeral.
