Multiple ZR2740w failures within one and half year

Hello,
i would like to ask you if it is "normal" for me to have this series of issues with my ZR2740w's (by normal i mean if this is typical problem for this model; i know it is not normal to have that many RMA) :
1) first ZR2740w (let's call it A, bought in December 2011) died completely one month after purchase, panel got replaced via the onsite warranty by a new panel (let's call it B; RMA at end of January 2012).
2) i bought a second ZR2740w (let's call it C) a half year later.
3) C died one month ago after a year (end of April 2013), got replaced by probably a new or refurbished panel (call this one D) :

4) D died today, same (or very similar) issue as C; i expect a replacement panel around Friday or next Monday :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU1wf7QsvWQ
I wonder if it is something at my side, but i can't imagine what, everything else works fine. Socket voltage is withing tolerance (voltage here in Slovakia should be 230V, my socket has 236V which is within the +/-5% tolerance), the issue happens using any of connections (DVI/DP), from any source (tried 2 different computers with 3 different graphic cards - 2x Intel in various computers, 1xNVIDIA), using different power cables. C died when used on Eaton UPS, D died when connected directly to the socket.
While i still have year and half left from the warranty of the older display and nearly 2 years of the newer one, i dislike this happening all the time, as it means i am usually one week without one of my displays, plus i can expect both displays dying within one year after the warranty expires, which is unacceptable for ~600€ display (that is around a half of my monthly salary).
PS: And i don't even mentoin the "running pixels" issue of B on certain backgrounds (gray, blue and similar darker colors) - the pixels are moving from top to bottom, from half to about 3/4 of the display width; this one can be seen mostly when i am closer than 40cm from the display, further away it is nearly invisible (it's hard to catch it on camera, i hope you can see it at the first half of the video) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhiPDpSsa3g
PS2: And i am not sure i will be even able to ask for refund once the replacement for D dies again, as it would be the 3rd failure within warranty, but technically the whole panel gets replaced, so not sure if that law applies in this case... Plus it was replaced by an authorized HP service, not by the seller.

Just got a call from service centre, they will replace this display again, and if i get a 3rd failure within the warranty period they will refund me through the seller i bought the display from. Still can't understand why it happens, the only common thing between the failures of C and D is the power socket i get the power from (no issues with other devices connected to the same power line - LCD TV, AVR, two PC's, another ZR2740w, 23xi, Mac Mini), which i cannot change and not even the other ZR2740w has problems with.

Netweaver after one and half year of ABAP experience...

Hi all,
I am an ABAPer with one and half year of experience.
I wanted to know if its really worth to switch to netweaver after having around one and half years of ABAP experience as in india promotions are faster and one remains technical person for around 7 years only as in case i take some netweaver component at this stage i will have to start from zero .Further marketwise is there too vast difference between an ABAPer and Netwaver technical consultant as it will again take one and half year to learn new Netweaver component and by the time i will be having 3 years of ABAP experience in case i decide to remain inABAP.
In other words which one is better option between one and half years of Netweaver experience or 3 years of ABAP experience marketwise and careerwise.I will be really thankful if somebody can give a bit descriptive explanation in this regard.
Thanks.

Hello Sandeep,
The market is never static , it keeps on changing, 'Change is the only constant' . Currently Netweaver platform is the platform of choice for SAP Customers and many are involved in upgrading their systems to the latest SAP Offerings.
You should invest in Netweaver , there are several learning courses you can take up or maybe buy books and rely on self learning.
What career you want to choose is your personal issue, however SAP will definitely phase out ABAP in the near future (maybe a decade), so its worth investing money and time now into a product which SAP has decided to go forward with.
On the soft skill side, you can always learn project management and people management, there are several courses out in the market for the same, this will slowly progress your career and take you away to a point where underlying technology does not matter.
Hope that helps.

Siddhesh

Hi Sandeep,
It would be better to choose what you like the most ie feel comfortable to work. If you really want to swith to Netweaver then go for visual composer it is very easy to learn and there are lot of opportunites in US with a very high package.
It is would be best if you concentrate to become a techno functional rather than going for the Netweaver. So that you will explore more in ABAP as well as in the functional side.
Sap runs on Business process,technology may come and go but the Business still remains like SD, MM, FI etc....

I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue. It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery? It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage). When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark. It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps. Thanks!

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly

Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
Here are the steps I took:
1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
(Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPhone 5 the speakers is not working suddenly so I went to get the warranty service the open the mobil and told me it's broken so he put out of the warranty and I have to pay the fixing amount also after one and half month only come how

I bought it from jarir book store Riyadh Saudi Arabia the work shop told me no replacement for it we will fix it this bad reputation for apple products I want somebody sort it out for me plz I have the work sheet number if needed

We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees.
Is this an Apple store you are dealing with, or an Apple authorized repair service? If it is only one and a half months old it is still in warranty, unless it has had accidental damage done to it.

My GF4 MX440 TV-OUT finally works after one and half a year!!!

I bought this MSI GF4 MX440 video card in the middle of 2002. It comes with TV-IN and TV-OUT. The TV-IN works well and I can record video by connecting it to the AV-OUT of my TV. However, the TV-OUT didn’t work: after connecting the TV-OUT port to the AV-IN of the TV, the driver detected the TV correctly, but after selected clone option from nView, the whole screen of TV becomes light gray and no picture is displayed at all. I tried more than 5 different drivers (including the original MSI driver) and Win9x, Win2000 and XP, nothing works.
Yesterday I installed TVTool, and strange things happened: when I run TVTool the first time, nothing was changed: the TV is still in light gray color. After I clicked on button “Scan” in “Adjust” tab in TVTool, the screen of computer is displayed in the TV! Even if I quit TVTool, the TV-OUT is still working. I went to the display properties and setup TV as the device for full screen display, then when I use Windows Media Player or Real Player to play a video using normal size, the movie is displayed full screen on TV automatically! It’s really amazing. After stopped playing the video, the TV comes back to display the screen of the monitor again.
After I rebooted the system, the TV-OUT was not working initially, TV displays light gray again. But after run TVTool once without doing anything, the TV-OUT starts working even if quit TVTool now. So now when I want to use TV-OUT, I have to run TVTool once and the quit it. It is much better than nothing works at all.
I cannot explain why this happens. It looks that the TVTool enables something in the chip of the video card. Hope this will help somebody else.
BTW, this is my first and will be the last video card from MSI.

i m also having the same MX440 card , i am also having one problem with it..
i can run the TV-OUT option easily..
but as the screen of computer is displayed in the TV, but when i try to run any movie on my PC and i want to see the movie simultaniously at the same time , it is not possible ..
i can only see it on the primary display which is set.. , it coult be TV or monitor..
i want to see the same movie in both the display at the same time , is that possible ?
please someone help me ..
thanks

Multiple paragraph styles within one cell?

Maybe I'm missing something real simple but I'm having a bit of an issue with styles. What I'm trying to do is have the name of a tool in one paragraph style and the description (separated from the name by "-") in another paragraph style - all within the same cell of a table. Instead, when I try to change styles it changes all text within the cell. Even if I go back and highlight the tool name and change it to a different style than the description it changes all text including what is not highlighted. If anyone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks, Dave! Nested styles works perfectly. I figured the solution would've been something simple like this.

Multiple insert statements within one DB transaction

Can I use a Database control to do more than one insert in a Database control method?
If not , will this feature become available?
I want to
1. set autocommit off
2. insert master record
3. insert child records
4. commit

Steve--
Glad you got this figured out; I misunderstood what you wanted to do
-- I thought you actually wanted to call commit(). :)
Yes, a custom control is the way to aggregate multiple DB control
calls that need to be treated as a unit relative to the current transaction.
The "Workshop Internals" document sheds more light on the details of
how / why this happens.

Solved (having read my course notes).
To update different database inserts (or similar) all you have to do is encapsulate
this in ONE Java Custom Contol Method and then call the various database inserts
(in my case) in a Database control. The JCC method does a rollback if it exits
with an exception

One way to do this would be to wrap the DB control in a custom
control (JCS) or web service. Then, you can call getConnection() on
the
DB control and invoke setAutoCommit(false) and commit yourself. Here's
the DB control interface documentation:

This should work, but I haven't tried it myself. :)

Manipulating Multiple Audio Clips Within One Track

Hello I need help with 2 issues!
Problem 1: I recorded in Audacity converted it and brought them into Soundbooth CS5. It turns out to be 208 clips that I now have on one track. When I edit/shorten one track (lets say clip 8) I have to individually select all other tracks to move them forward because there's space between clip 8 and 9 thru 200. How do I select track 9 thru 200 (highlight them all) without having to individually select all clips within the track?
Your help will grately shorten my editing time.
Problem 2: I have several clips that have 2 audio tracks by mistake. How do I split up the audio and keep the portion I want?
Thanks in advance.

Select "Share" in the File menu, then QT export, expert setting, save as AIFF. (Optionally export just the selected clips)

Multiple disk failures within two months

Hi,
We have six fiber disks and six scsi disks on our Sun V880, solaris 9. Within the last two months we have two scsi disk failures and four fiber disk failures. We replaced the disks. To avoid possible future problems, Sun suggested us to replace the FCAL disk backplane and cables, and I am not sure whether this is a good way to go. Thanks for your input!

StorageReview use to have an excellent drive reliability database. MLII and DM9, anything prior to MaxLine III or DM10 were not that good, but had been since. Unfortunately, outside the few enterprise MaxLine Pro or DM11, Seagate has gutted their line and trying to turn Maxtor into low end consumer... while the 7200.10 series has problems of its own.

Multiple Group By within one single template

Hello,
In Crystal Reports 2008 Design, I have a template, this template uses a sp, which returns 10 columns as the Database Fields. Could anyone tell me if I can do the following with this template and how?
If the parameter ?company = ABC, then count column1 and group by column2, column3 and column4, and display the data points column2, column3 and column4 in the report for company ABC
If the parameter ?company = BCD, then count column1 and group by column5, column6 and column7, and display the data points column5, column6 and column7 in the report for company BCD
If the parameter ?company = CDE, then count column1 and group by column8, column9 and column10, and display the data points column8, column9 and column10 in the report for company CDE
Thanks!

Try creating 3 formulas like this
@Group1:
whilereadingrecords;
if {?company} = "ABC" then
{column2}
else if {?company}="BCD" then
{column5}
else if {?company}="CDE" then
{column8}
else
"Others"
@Group2:
whilereadingrecords;
if {?company} = "ABC" then
{column3}
else if {?company}="BCD" then
{column6}
else if {?company}="CDE" then
{column9}
else
"Others"
@Group3:
whilereadingrecords;
if {?company} = "ABC" then
{column4}
else if {?company}="BCD" then
{column7}
else if {?company}="CDE" then
{column10}
else
"Others"
Now insert group on @Group1 and then insert one more on @Group2 and then @Group3
You can also place the formulas as columns like
@Group1 @Group2 @Group3

Merge Multiple CSV Files Into One and save it into new file

Below code run in specific directory. However I'm looking a code which will select the folder & save it into new sheet.
Can you help me with this? I've searched for a solution for a long time but could not find anything which worked.
The following is the start of the macro code
Sub OpenCSV()
Dim i As Integer
' change this next line to reflect the actual directory
Const strDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\shekar\"
Dim ThisWB As Workbook
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim strWS As String
Set ThisWB = ActiveWorkbook
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
.LookIn = strDir
.Filename = "*.csv"
If .Execute(SortBy:=msoSortByFileName, _
SortOrder:=msoSortOrderAscending) > 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(i))
strWS = wb.Sheets(1).Name
wb.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Copy (ThisWB.Worksheets(strWS).Range("A1"))
wb.Close False
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
End Sub

The below will do the.But be careful if any of csv file name is more than 31 then Excel will not allow it to name the sheet with filename.
Sub OpenCSV()
Dim i As Integer
' change this next line to reflect the actual directory
Const strDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\shekar\"
Dim ThisWB As Workbook
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim strWS As String
Dim sFileName As String
Set ThisWB = ActiveWorkbook
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
.InitialFileName = strDir
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "CSV Files", "*.csv"
If .Show Then
For i = 1 To .SelectedItems.Count
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(.SelectedItems(i))
sFileName = .SelectedItems(i)
Set ws = ThisWB.Worksheets.Add(before:=ThisWB.Worksheets(1))
ws.Name = ActiveSheet.Name
wb.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Copy ws.Range("A1")
wb.Close False
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
