My screen moved inside the case. Help!

I recently had to ship my iMac G5 via UPS. I used all of the original packaging so I figured it would be ok. Apparently it was jarred pretty badly, because when I put it on my desk I noticed that the screen had shifted inside the computer. The right side dropped about a quarter inch. Is this something that I should attempt to fix myself or do I dare touch it? Any thoughts?

If it's still under warranty, then you should take it in for service to keep the rest of your warranty in-tact.
I imagine they'll charge you since it was an impact that caused it.
But, if you attempt to adjust it yourself, they may void the rest of your warranty.
Adjusting the screen is going to require removing everything from the first two iMac G5 versions. And, on the iMac G5 "iSight" version, you cannot open it yourself anyway.
Of course, you could always bounce it on it's head the other direction
But, I wouldn't recommend that.
Personally, I'd pay the service charge for adjustment if it's under warranty.
If it's not the iSight version, then it can be done yourself. But, there are lots, and lots of connections that you need to make sure to get back in-place properly. I've watched them disassemble and reassemble two of mine to get to the LCD screen. So, I know it's a big job.
It wouldn't intimidate me. But, I used to build and design computers (and even electrical components) for a living.
But, for someone who has not done this professionally, I would enter the project cautiously. You can do it. But, you need to pay very close attention to how you dismantle it and get it reassembled exactly the same way.
Hope this helps.

  • Decode Statement Inside the Case statement

    Can we use Decode Statement inside a CASE Statement as show below --
    It is giving an error -- Is the a better way to write with out any error
    create or replace
    function test (a varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2
    is
    m varchar2(20);
    begin
    m :=
    CASE
    WHEN a IN (
    '1009' -- (soon obsolete)
    ,'1010'
    ,'1019'
    ,'1051'
    ,'XGP'
    ,'XSC')
    THEN (SELECT DECODE(v_lef_cd,'NAM','71','GLB','99','01') into m FROM DUAL)
    -- ) THEN '01' -- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
    WHEN a IN (
    '1069' -- South Africa
    ,'SAO' -- South Africa
    ,'SA' -- South Africa
    ) THEN '26' -- South Africa
    ELSE NULL
    END;
    return m;
    end;

    Hi,
    You can only use DECODE in SQL statements.
    Your SELECT DECODE (...) INTO statement would work anywhere a PL/SQL statement is allowed; but PL/SQL statements are not allowed within CASE expressions.
    Remember, the expression that comes after THEN in a CASE expression must be a single value.
    I would write a function like this using IF ... ELSIF statements. It's a little more typing than CASE, but a lot easier to code, test and maintain.
    If you want to use CASE, here's one way:
    ...     m := CASE
              WHEN  a  IN ('1069', 'SAO', 'SA')
                   THEN  '26'     -- South Africa
              WHEN  a  NOT IN ('1009', '1019', '1051', 'XGP', 'XSC')
              OR    a  IS NULL
                   THEN  NULL
              WHEN  v_lef_cd = 'NAM'
                   THEN  '71'
              WHEN  v_lef_cd = 'GLB'
                   THEN  '99'
                   ELSE  '01'     -- USA
              END;This assumes that you have a variable v_lef_cd defined.
    If you want, you can nest CASE expressions, like this:
    ...     m := CASE
              WHEN  a  IN ('1069', 'SAO', 'SA')
                   THEN  '26'     -- South Africa
              WHEN  a  IN ('1009', '1019', '1051', 'XGP', 'XSC')
                   THEN  CASE  v_lef_cd
                          WHEN  'NAM'
                             THEN  '71'
                          WHEN  'GLB'
                             THEN  '99'
                             ELSE  '01'     -- USA
                         END
              END;Always format your code, so you can see where the CASE expressions and each of the WHEN clauses begin and end.

  • Early 2009 15" screen seprates from the case

    I noticed that my display is separating from the case, on the bottom of display unit.  I Googled it and found a few reports like (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/371...) indicating that Apple has a replacement program in place addressing this as a latent defect.  Anyone knows If you're having a display separation issue if Apple is replacing it for free?

    unfortunately, I'm abroad and can't get it to a shop. I'll be back to the states in August, and hope to get it fixed then. Luckily, I dont have to move the computer around - I have it on my desk with the screen propped up with a sneaker...

  • MacBook Pro 13-Inch (Mid-2014): When opening lid I hear a "zipping" sound coming from somewhere inside the case. Is this the fan catching on something or some other component initializing? Or just normal?

    First time MacBook Pro user and being the OSD guy that I am with new electronics I wanted to ask if I should be hearing this sound when I open the lid, I guess by closing the computer goes to sleep, and when it wakes I hear a faint but noticeable "zipping" sound for a quick second or two. Is this just the fan starting back up? Thanks!

    I should note I believe the noise is coming from the right side of the trackpad.

  • Access Account assignment data inside custom search help

    Hi Experts,
    I have faced with a challenge and I am stuck. Need some expert advise.  I am developing a custom search help for GL account. Inside the search help exit I have to know what is the account assignment category of the accounting line i am currently accessing in WEB UI. for example i have one item in SC and there is a cost distribution between cost center and WBS element. Now i want to access GL account search help from second line in the account assignment ( ie from line having WBS as Acc Assignment).
    one approach that i can think of is Enhance Accounting WD component and capture the details in a static attribute of a custom class and access them inside the search help exit. I know this will work. But i am looking for more clean approach.
    I saw below code in WD comp method GET_BO_INFO of component controller.
    lo_task_container = /sapsrm/cl_ch_wd_taskcont_fact=>get_task_container_instance( ).
       CHECK lo_task_container IS BOUND.
    * Get the BO type
       ev_bo_type = lo_task_container->get_bo_type( ).
    * Get the BO mapper, BO GUID, and item GUID of the lead selection
       CASE ev_bo_type.
         WHEN /sapsrm/if_pdo_obj_types_c=>gc_pdo_shop.
           lo_bom_sc ?= lo_task_container->get_bom_sc( ).
           ev_hdr_guid = lo_bom_sc->/sapsrm/if_cll_bo_mapper~get_bo_guid( ).
           ev_item_guid = lo_bom_sc->/sapsrm/if_cll_bo_mapper~items_get_lead_selection( ).
    I am not sure if this works. But even if this works I can not get the exact accounting line that the user is currently processing. Any ideas????
    thanks

  • Import screen field value into search help assigned to a different field

    Hi,
    I have created an elementary search help based on a custom DDIC table ZSH_SHHLDR. Dialog Type: Dialog depends on set of values, search help parameters:
    Parameter                       Import     Export   LPos SPos  SDis
    FOLIO                                X                       1       1         X
    CERTN                                             X         2       2
    where FOLIO and CERTN are fields in my table.
    There are two fields in my program defined as like FOLIO and CERTN respectively. These fields are screen fields in a custom dynpro created using Screen Painter. The search help is assigned to the CERTN field. In the screen, I want that the contents of the FOLIO field should be imported into the search help, i.e. on the screen:
    FOLIO: 21353
    CERTN: <F4>
    When I click on F4 help for CERTN, I want that the FOLIO parameter in the search help should contain the value for FOLIO that I entered in the text box on the screen. Is there a way to do this, through an exit for instance? Help is appreciated, thanks.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You need to use the below statement.
    process on value-request.
    field zcom_doa_users-zzjob_role module sub_tes_module.
    Here I declared three fields in the screen fields from structure zcom_doa_users. Try to name the fields with table name-field name. So inside the module in structure zcom_doa_users you will get given value for the other fields also.
    Now you can do your own processing for f4 help.
    Thanks

  • What does a red outline inside a Case Statement mean?

    I'm developing some code, and opened an existing VI that has a Queued Message Handler inside it.  One Message Case ("Shutdown") has a thin red outline on the inner border of the Case "box" -- what does this mean, where did it come from, and what should I do about it (including "How do I get rid of it?")?.
    This code was developed in LabVIEW 2012.  I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this previously.  I should probably mention that I tested this VI, it quit unexpectedly (possibly by throwing an error somewhere), and I'm looking at the "saved VI".

    Thanks to GerdW and tst for the rapid responses.  Some observations (before this "goes away").  First, right-clicking on a blank space inside the Case Statement brings up the Function palette (oops -- I didn't read your reply carefully -- you said to click the Breakpoint Tool, just a sec -- yep, that does it, but I don't think I've ever used the Breakpoint tool, rather I manage Breakpoints by right-clicking on wires and going from there).  Second, I used the Breakpoint Tool to put the breakpoint back on this Case, and brought up the Breakpoint Manager by right-clicking the Error line and choosing Breakpoint Manager.  Sure enough, it popped up a notice saying there was one breakpoint set on a Diagram object.  When I cleared it, it cleared the top left red border and about 15% of the left side border (at the top), but most of the red border remained until I clicked away from this case then clicked back.
    Thanks for the explanation.  Where is this noted?  I did a search for Case Statement, didn't see it.  I suppose if I already knew it was a Breakpoint notification, I could have found it under Breakpoint Help ... (nothing like Knowing the Answer to help you Find the Answer).

  • How to increase the performance with the case structure?

    Hiii, All
                I want to stop the looping into my vi, which is occuring because of Case structure, as i ve shown in the figure, i am checking for the trigger, either it is Manual or it is Auto, if auto i am going inside the case and checking the loop of either Auto trigger is for Analog values or for digital values, if it is for analog valus, i am checking the set point that, either P.V. has cross the setpoint or not? if it is then i am starting to write the file and the control comes out again to check the Start trigger again, either it is Auto or manual? and because of these contonuous loops inside the while loop, my other while loops inside the vi, decrease the performance mean they are slowing down also with the current while loop, so i think solution is to stopping these nested loops, but what should i do to stop these nested loops? please suggest something.
    Thanks in Advance,

    You can consider multithreading the single loop and using a synchronization resource to communicate between threads.  You should also consider cutting down on the global variable dependancies which makes the code hard to follow.

  • Where is the "Photoshop Help Folder" located on the Mac?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to install Strata 3D tryout and it is asking for the location of the "Additional How To Content" folder, inside the "Photoshop Help Folder". I cannot find the "Photoshop Help Folder"... can someone tell me where it is located?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance:)
    Christine

    If you are not online and choose help, you'll get a html-based and non-updated version that's being read from your Libraries' Application Support folder.
    If you want a help.pdf you can get it here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/photoshop_cs4_help.pdf
    But by using the online version you're always up to date with Adobe, as probably is intended hence the help setup.

  • TS3495 My recent blu ray purchase did not come with a digital copy disc as others have in the past, and no place in the case for one to be either, just came with instructions, so now what?

    My new blu ray disc did not come with a seperate digital download dis, now was there even a place for one inside the case, it came with instructions of how to install I tunes, then magically I would be prompted to enter the promo code and have it, no such luck, so now what?

    Have you actually followed the instructions?
    Did you enter the promo code?
    If you did, were there any error messages?

  • Firewire INSIDE the computer? WHY?

    I have noticed quite a few PCI cards have Firewire and/or USB ports that will be inside the case of the computer.
    This was also the case on some G4's
    WHY?
    What could this be used for? What could I use the internal port for?
    Thanks
    Pat

    I have wondered what sort of Firewire or USB devices people would want inside their computer cases, but that is what those ports are for. We have some cards of that type but have never used the internal ports.
    On the other hand, I have installed SATA cards that have internal and external ports. These allow installing a couple of extra hard drives in the case plus several external drives. This not only provides practically unlimited storage, but also allows keeping backup sets of drives in a secure seperate location, such as a bank. We had a fire in 1991 that totally altered my philosophy regarding backups. You can never have too many.

    Hello b.krushel,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
    These sections in particular:
    General Troubleshooting
    Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
    Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
    Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
    Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
    Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
    Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of  Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
    In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
    You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
    If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
    Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
    Open Calendar (or iCal).
    Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
    Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Take care,
    Sterling
