Need monitor repaired, for cheapest way possible

I have a 22'' LCD Sony SyncMaster monitor that I bought last year for my birthday. (September 9th) It came with a 1 year warranty from Sony. But around December, the monitor began to flicker. If I left the monitor on for about 10-30 minutes (while it was flickering) it would go back to normal status and act as if nothing happened. Around Janruary, however. It would flicker and never stop. And then eventually, it just stopped flicking/working/anything at all. I was thinking about taking it into Best Buy and sending it in to be repaired, but I'm scared of how much it will actually cost me. I did not purchase a warranty, but there is still the manufacturer warranty. I want to repair my monitor in the cheapest way possible. Got any advice?

If you purchased the product from Best Buy and still have the reciept , the geek squad should be able to take care of things for you under the manufacturers warranty providing its still a valid warranty.
If not, you will need to call Sony directly and talk to their tech support guys and discuss the options with them.

  • Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks

    Every once in a while I'll verify permissions using disk utility.  A few weeks ago I ran the verify disk and it came up with an issue like the one below.  I repaired it and now it has happened again.  This is the 3rd time actually.  Is my SSD having issues and need replacement or is this common?

    Thanks.

    The repair is inevitable and the sooner done the less data corruption will occur. Since the previous repair, has any app crashed or have you had to force-quit one?  Under normal circumstances, this is the usual cause: the app craps out and doesn't get a chance to free up disk space used on temp files and such before croaking.

  • Need monitor help for G5

    I'm preparing to purchase a G5 and considering new monitors for it as well. I'm currently using a dual monitor set up with my G4 that uses a Radeon 9000 that has 2 DVI outs. One out is the square one and one is the one with the rounded edges....I don't know which are which but both use a DVI>VGA adaptor since the CRT flat screens are VGA only.
    The new monitor I'm looking at is a Samsung 19" 933BW that comes with a 15-pin D-sub Cable, and a DVI-D Cable according to the product specs. You can see the monitor here: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=computersperipherals&typ e=monitors&subtype=lcd&model_cd=LS19CMKKFV/XA
    My question is what does the G5 come with for monitor outs and will this monitor work if I buy 2 of them for a dual monitor setup like I have now. I have no idea what a D-sub cable is??? Thes DVI plugs confuse me.

    Hi-
    A G5 will usually come with a card that has one DVI and one ADC port.
    The Geforce 6800 Ultra, among others, came with 2 DVI ports.
    If the G5 is a dual core model, it will have two DVI ports.
    The DVI port can use a DVI or VGA monitor, using the DVI to VGA adapter.
    The ADC port can be converted to DVI using an ADC to DVI adapter. The old ADC to VGA adapter is very, very rare....
    Using 2 DVI connected monitors should pose no special challenges, except for the possible need of the ADC to DVI adapter.
    BTW, D-sub 15 is VGA.
    Also, if the G5 comes with a card that has 1 DVI and 1 VGA, the card is not OEM.

  • Need phone repair for medical use-no one will fix ongoing problem!

    We have had an ongoing problem for the 12 years that we have been living in our house. We have paid our bill in full on time every month yet we cannot get the service we pay for. My husband got a Pacemaker last month. We now have a medical need for a clear phone line. The problem occurs when it rains, wind blows or there's heavy humidity. Our phone line from the pole does not come directly to our house. Every time a technician comes they ask us why the line doesn't come directly to our house. I don't know, I didn't wire the phone. There's a box on the pole that is not sealed to be weather proof. We've been told that by all of the technicians that have come over the past 12 years. We've had technicians come in vans and left saying we need a bucket truck. After numerous calls and a ridiculous amount of **bleep** apologies I have made appt after appt asking for a bucket truck. Tech doesn't have the right equipment with him...one said his feet hurt and didn't want to go up the pole! I've asked to speak to a supervisor and am always told they are busy but will call back. To this day I have not received a call back. I don't know what to do other than change to another phone company. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW TERRIBLE THE VERIZON HOME PHONE SERVICE IS!!! I'm terribly disappointed and disgusted. I am at my wits end. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is how much would it be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is what would be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I would replace it out of warantee for the 200. but if you really need to save a few bucks
    iphone repair store (craked glass) - $150
    new sim card (if charged for one) - $20
    but getting another one for 200 (through insurance) will give you a year warantee
    no insurance, no $200 option

    Farooq,
    If you look at the first one, you should be able to align quite easily as follows, View>Smart Guides being your friends:
    1a) ClickDrag the top flower with the Selection Tool (black arrow) so it is clear of the pointy part;
    1b) Click an empty spot on the Artboard to deselect, then ClickDrag the top flower by its bottom Anchor Point (Smart Guides say anchor when you are close enough to grab it) down to snap to the top Anchor Point on the pointy part (Smart Guides say anchor when you are close enough);
    1c) Do the same for the boroom flower.
    If you look at the third one, to get the triangles and the hexagon sized and aligned precisely, you may, creating them with stroke and no fill:
    3a) Click with the Polygon Tool and select a suitable/chosen Radius and 6 Sides, then Object>Transform>Rotate by 30 degrees (or use the Rotate option in the Transform palette), you may Object>Transform>Reset Bounding Box to have it look nicer;
    3b) Click with the Polygon Tool and select the same Radius and 3 sides, then deselect and ClickDrag the top Anchor Point to snap to the top Anchor Point of the hexagon;
    3c) Object>Transform>Rotate by 180 degrees clicking Copy, deselect, and ClickDrag the bottom Anchor Point to snap to the bottomAnchor Point of the hexagon;
    3d) Select all and Ctrl/Cmd+G to Group (for alignment purposes, you will know why if you try without grouping, see below).
    To create full symmetry, you may use circles rather than almost circular ellipses; you may:
    3d) Click with the Ellipse Tool and select a suitable/chosen Width = height;
    3e) Object>Transform>Move a copy vertically by the Height (= Width) twice (or you may Ctrl/Cmd+D to repeat), to get three circles over one another with no gaps;
    3f) Select the topmost and bottommost ones and Object>Transform>Rotate a copy by 120 degrees twice, to have all the seven circles precisley touching one another; you may Group them, but it is not necessary.
    To have everything aligned, just:
    3g) Select everything and click Vertical Align Center and Horizontal Align Center in the Align palette; you may click the pointy group or the circles ojnce more before aligning if you want to keep it in place (that will make it the key object that the other set is aligned to).
    These ways may also help you further.
    Edit: About half an hour after midnight here. High time to attend to other duties, before the sun is up.

  • I am looking for the cheapest way to sample simultaneo​usly 4 or more channels at 2Ms/s (ore more).

    it's very important for my application both sample simultaneously and rapidly (more than 2 MHz).
    I know that I can use a digital oscilloscope but it's limitate to 2 channels and to much expensive.
    I'am looking for a smart and cheapest way to perform my application, if it's possible.

    Timmy,
    Your best solution is to use a PCI-6110 simultaneous sampling board which can sample each channel at a rate up to 5 MS/s.
    If you are using the PXI platform, you can use the PXI-6115 which can sample each channel up to 10 MS/s simultaneously.
    Both of these boards can be found in the National Instruments catalog available online at www.ni.com

  • Looking for a way to monitor continous queries

    Hi, I am looking for a way to monitor my continous query cache such that i do not expose coherence libraries to the calling programs. So i need an abstraction of the listener and the returned value(in this case the MapEvent) so that the calling program does not have any knowledge of coherence behind the hoods. So, i need to do this in java(using the likes of observer/event listener etc) Any help in this regard is appreciated. Thanks.

    you could write a daemon method which would, every so often, search the forums for the keyword.
    Better yet, you can use google's "site: bbs.archlinux.org keyword format to do your search.
    But, be sure not to do it too often. If you keep banging a particular forum website too often, your ip might get banned.

    I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that  I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

  • Cheapest way to get VLK for Windows 8.1 Pro

    Usually the cheapest way is 1 8.1 upgrade and 4 server 2012 Cals.
    The server cals run about $30ish if I remember correctly.jackwithers wrote:

    RegardsThis is true, you will have match Pro to Pro, ect. I believe this set up also involves using KMS to activate.

People report they just buy 4 Windows Vista DVD playback packs, and one Windows 8.1 Pro license, however I cannot seem to find this on the Adviser.If I speak to a Microsoft representative will they offer me the 1x Win 8.1 Pro and 4x Windows Vista Business license. Being able to create one golden image and deploy unattended for various clients would save a lot of time and as a result, money, as staff can...

  • Unable to boot from install disk for needed disk repair

    Hi- I need to repair my disk, but haven't been able to boot from the DVD. When I've tried (several times), I get a black screen with a long error message, ending in something like "hanging here." Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Laura

    That is a kernel panic. Kernel panics on startup from an installer disc mean one of two things usually: 1. You are using an installer disc with an OS version that is not able to boot the computer model you have. Usually the version is too early for the model; 2. There's a serious hardware problem such as a dead hard drive or motherboard problem.
