My screen died!! Help!

Last night I was using my unplugged MacBook pro, I was monitoring the battery left and when it got to 22%, the laptop turned itself off. (is that normal?) I rebooted it but the screen hasn't recovered, I've restarted a few times and I hear the engine working but the screen is black. Help- what happened! Can I fix this or do I need to take it in?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • 2nd Gen Macbook Pro - Screen died/went black for a few hours

    Hi,
    I have a second gen 15" Macbook Pro (c2duo 2.16) and recently when I was using the Internet the screen died on me. The display seemed to turn off but the Hd kept working, I pressed some keys to try and revive it, but no joy. Thinking that the display had died on me, I left it to one side, only to find that a couple of hours later it miraculously came back to life.
    It's only happened the one time so far, but I am feeling a bit uneasy about this. Could it be that this is a sign of a logic board/GPU failure? Is the ATI x1600 prone to failure? I am a little concerned as I need my laptop for some regular PS design work, anyone have any similar problems?

    Yes, I had the exact same problem with a second gen 17" MBP (2.33 core 2 duo). When the machine got hot, the graphics card would seem to die and I'd need to leave the machine off for several hours if I wanted the screen to come on again (and even then it wouldn't always work). It seemed when the GPU got to around 50ºC everything would freeze and upon restart, the screen would not come back on. I ended up having to get the logic board replaced (at cost - luckily this is a company-owned machine so they dealt with that) and so far, so good. However, it seems the ATI X1600 is prone to heat damage as can be seen by various threads here and around the net.
    A tip from my experience: enable screen sharing. That way if you have a spare computer (any will do, as long as you enable the VNC server) you can still use your Mac when/if the screen goes again. Helpful if you're in the middle of something and didn't get to save or whatever.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS.  The screen died and it's not worth replacing.  How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS.  The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model.  I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need?  What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases.  How can I accomplish this?
    My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive.  Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
    I know this is lengthy.  Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

    the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
    A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later.  A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
    The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

  • Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!

    I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall.  Is there a way to remedy this?  Please help!
    Drew.

    I think I figured out the issue.  Thanks for all your advice.  I'll repost if I have any other problems.

    Subject: Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!
    Drew,
    How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
    Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
    Good luck,

  • At selection-screen value- help

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that based on a radio button one at selection-screen value-help is triggered and on based on a different radio button another at selection-screen value-help should be triggered.
    can it be achieved.
    Regards,
    Jeetu

    AT SELECTION-SCREEN - selscreen_event
    Syntax
      | { ON {para|selcrit} }
      | { ON END OF selcrit }
      | { ON BLOCK block }
      | { ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi }
      | { }
      | { ON {HELP-REQUEST|VALUE-REQUEST}
      |   FOR {para|selcrit-low|selcrit-high} }
      | { ON EXIT-COMMAND }.
    Alternatives:
    1. ... OUTPUT
    2. ... ON {para|selcrit}
    3. ... ON END OF selcrit
    4. ... ON BLOCK block
    5. ... ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi
    6. ... { }
    7. ... ON {HELP-REQUEST|VALUE-REQUEST} FOR
          {para|selcrit-low|selcrit-high} }
    8. ... ON EXIT-COMMAND
    Effect
    These additions allow individual evaluation of specific elements of the selection screens of the program. The information as to which selection has triggered the event is contained in the system field sy-dynnr.
    Alternative 1
    ... OUTPUT
    Effect
    This event is triggered at the screen event PBO of a selection screen. In the event block, the selection screen can be prepared through assignments to the data objects of parameters and selection criteria and through dynamic screen modifications.
    Note
    The assignments to input fields in the event block AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT always affect the selection screen and overwrite the user inputs from previous displays of the same selection screen. Assignments in the event blocks LOAD-OF-PROGRAM oder INITIALIZATION, on the other hand, only have an effect at first program start.
    Alternative 2
    ... ON {para|selcrit}
    Effect
    This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if the content of the input field of a parameter para or a line of a selection criterion selcrit was passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user input can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes the fields para and selcrit ready for input again.
    No parameter that is defined as a radio button can be specified. For this purpose, the addition ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP is provided.
    Note
    If a user action takes place in the dialog box for the multiple selection of a selection criterion selcrit, the entries of the selection table are passed to the program, line by line. For each line, the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON selcrit is triggered.
    Alternative 3
    ... ON END OF selcrit
    Effect
    This event is triggered after the selection table selcrit has been fully passed to the program after a user action in the dialog box for the multiple selection has taken place. In the event block, the entire selection table can be checked.
    Alternative 4
    ... ON BLOCK block
    Effect
    This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if all the input fields of a block block of the selection screen were passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user inputs can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes all the fields of the block block ready for input again.
    Alternative 5
    ... ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi
    Effect
    This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if all the fields of a radio button group radi of the selection screen were passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user input can be checked. Sending a warning or error message in the event block makes all the radion buttons of the block radi ready for input again.
    Note
    The individual fields of a radio button group are not passed individually and do not trigger the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON par.
    Alternative 6
    Effect
    The event AT SELECTION-SCREEN itself is triggered as the last event of selection screen processing if all the input values were passed to the program. In this event block, all the user inputs can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes all the screen fields ready for input once again.
    Alternative 7
    ... ON { HELP-REQUEST | VALUE-REQUEST } FOR
        {para|selcrit-low|selcrit-high} }
    Effect
    The two events ON HELP-REQUEST and ON VALUE-REQUEST are triggered at the screen events POH and POV of a selection screen if - for the input field of a parameter para or one of the input fields of a selection criterion selcrit - the field help F1 or the input help F4 was called. Other selection events are not triggered.
    In the event blocks, a self-defined field or input field can be programmed, which overrides any helps possibly defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
    Notes
    These event blocks can only be implemented for fields of the selection screen that are defined in the same ABAP program and not in a possibly linked logical database.
    With the events for the field and input help, no data is transported between the selection screen and the ABAP program. As with general screens, suitable function modules must be used for these. The parameters and selection criteria changed for the input help are transported to the selection screen.
    Alternative 8
    ... ON EXIT-COMMAND
    Effect
    This event is triggered if the user has called one of the functions Back, Exit or Cancel. In the event block, possible clean-up actions can be executed.
    Example
    In these executable programs, a standard selection screen and a further selection screen are defined. In the event blocks AT SELECTION-SCREEN, the inputs in the selection screens can be specially handled using the name p_carrid and the screen number in sy-dynnr.
    REPORT demo_at_selection_screen.
    Global data
    DATA: sflight_tab TYPE TABLE OF sflight,
          sflight_wa  LIKE LINE  OF sflight_tab.

    Like any warranty it does not cover damage.  You would have to pay like everyone else.
