Older macbook MC516LL/A... New LCD Screen?

So my MC516LL/A fell off the table onto a concrete floor and now the display is dead. I don't see any actual physical damage to the screen but it stays black. I can hook up an external monitor and get a display,so I'm assuming that the LCD screen is somehow damaged and needs to be replaced. I see a wide range of prices and screens available, does anyone have any suggestions? Are there things I should look for or avoid?

From the model number you have given, this seems to be the part you need

Should I get a new LCD screen for my iPod?

Should I get a new LCD screen for my iPod 3gen because mine has a bad one? And should I get a new screen because mine is cracked?

One you know if it is worth the cost. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty. Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

Water splashed my iPod 4th generation an worked initially, but now when it is plugged in it sounds like it is powering up but nothing shows on screen, do I need a new LCD screen?

Some water got on my iPod touch 4th generation and when plugged into iTunes it is recognized but nothing shows up on the screen. Does this mean that I need to replace the LCD screen?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if a 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

New LCD screen shows no video until Windows desktop appears

I just got my first LCD screen a few days ago. Apple 23" Cinema Display.
When the system starts or restarts, I do not see the BIOS/startup info on the screen. The screen stays black until Windows desktop loads.
Is this normal for LCD screens?

Yes I have LCD connected to DVI. When I look at desktop properties or in the nVidia control panel, I only see the LCD attached to the DVI as displays; I do not see the analog display at all.
I was suprised when I first noticed this since I always saw two display options when I had my CRT monitor attached to the analog connector before I got the new monitor, even though I had only one crt physcially attached. I just assumed that when the DVI connector is in use it auto shuts down detction of the analog option. Is this incorrect?
Also I looked for new monitor drivers at both MS and Apple and found nothing newer than the MS generic Plug and Play monitor dated 2002 that was installed by default. Is this to be expected too?
Thanks for your help.

PS 7 and a new LCD Screen

Which one is causing the problem: PS 7 or my new 22" LCD Screen? No matter how many times I remove preferences, I get the same results.
Problem: All circles are printed as long ovals. What is designed looks fine on the screen, but when printed the shapes are elongated. To print them "correctly", I have to stretch out the circles horizontally until they print as circles. This is really dumb!
Please help. LCD screen is great, I love it, but I must be missing something here........appreciate some helpful ideas................mm

Well guys, this sure is the age of technology, but it's destructive when speed becomes the criteria of change instead of quality. I can think of lots of products that last 10 years or more, can't you? Oh, come on, software could be designed for better and longer use too. I can't help wonder if Adobe hasn't adopted the greed need for constant upgrades that don't work easily or well and require patch after patch for fixin'. Do we upgrade because it's really necessary, or to keep up with the Jones's, or just 'cause it's the latest thing to do? Please understand, I admire all who can keep up with the latest widgits and gidgits for whatever personal or professional reason, but let's not berate those who can't.
So, thanks Dave, I took your suggestion and checked out Amazon and CS4 is reasonable. If I do get it, it'll have to sit on a shelf until this 'puter dies, and by then you guys'll be in CS 9 or more. I noticed it stated a different screen (1,024x768 display (1,280x800 recommended), and I just changed mine to native resolution for this 22"LCD. Now what?
As always, many thanks......................mm

Apple Hard Drive not working after picking it up for a new LCD screen

I recently picked picked up my repaired MacBook Pro ( replacing LCD screen). It was weird because they didn't test it in front of me or anything, They just handed it to me. When I got back home, i turned it on. It shows the Apple logo and the loading screen. Once the loading screen was full , it would turn off automaticallyy. It turns out my hard drive failed. Even though my my LCD screen was damaged, everything else on the mac was working fine. this is also my second hard drive , which i purchased in August ( 90 day warranty up) . I feel like this is an Apple issue and they should give me a free hard drive. Is this possible.
The hard drive was fine before they started to repair it.

Older macbook (macbook4,1) blank screensaver screen

I have an older macbook (white macbook4,1) without any boot disc or OS disc. Currently using 10.6.8 OS. As the Administrator, I can log in and do get a dock and menu bar. All seems okay. However, this is my childs computer and when she is able to log in, but the only thing that appears is a blank screensaver screen. There is no dock or menu bar. Only the cursor appears. Again, I do not have any discs as I purchased this sometime ago and it was a used macbook and didn't come with any discs. BTW, this just recently occurred as she was able to use normally and as far as I know, nothing was downloaded knowingly that caused this. We've been using 10.6.8 OS for sometime now on this unit. Thank you
Macbook4,1 (13 inch, 2008)
Current OS: 10.6.8 (no original discs)

Probably the only thing your going to be able to do to solve this is to reinstall the OS. You can buy Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard?afid=p238%7 CsTNKrWNku-dc_mtid_1870765e38482_pcrid_6…
How old is your child? How much RAM is in the computer? If she uses it a lot it will be a lot faster with upgraded RAM and possibly an SSD depending on how long she'll be using it.

Question regarding the new lcd screens

I'm a potential buyer and to be honest I'm a little concerned about some of the postings here and else where.
While this isn't strictly a support thread it does follow in the vein of supporting a user.
Here's what I'm concerned about and these all could be just unrelated small problems.
1. loose screens
2. smudges inside the panel
3. uneven lighting
4. dithering <- this one has me really concerned.
I know the most posts here are regarding problems and this does not take into context the vast majority don't have problems. but 2.5k for a new laptop is a lot of money for me so for owners of the MBP could chime in regarding their MBP's screens I would be extremely grateful
Mike

I just picked up my new baby at my local apple store.
Very nice. So far I'm very pleased. I just reloaded OSX and this weekend I'll throw aperture and CS3 on it. Temps seem pretty decent so far, no smudges as far as I can tell WOOHOO, lighting is even.
I do seem to have the dithering issue, but my macbook did and until I viewed a picture that was posted about the dithering I would not have noticed so I probably can live with it.

How do I move my music from an older macbook to the new iPhone 4s?

My macbook is old (OS X 10.4.11), so I can't update iTunes to a newer version. All the tutorials on syncing deal with newer OSs. I have TONS of music on my macBook, and I want to be able to use it on my new phone, but nothing happens when I plug it in to my laptop.
I know most people don't keep technology as long as I do, but my laptop works great. I don't need a new one, and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to update to a new OS.
Any savvy techs out there who know of a loop hole of how to get the music files to the iPhone?
Thanks!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Cloning (Time Machine) a hardrive from an older Macbook to a new One

I'm looking to purchase a new Macbook Pro. My current one is about 3 years old.
I'm set up with Logic, lot's of other plugins and software as well as a offloaded sample library on an external drive.
Do not want to reinstall software and figure out all the little details that went into filing things, drivers, etc.....and mostly because I've forgotten most of it over the years. Right now my Macbook works the way I want it too....
Question: Can I use Time Machine to basically clone my current drive and bring this "clone" onto the new Macbook drive, plug in my sample libary external drive (that's aliased in all the right places...) and be off and running like nothing ever changed....or is there more to it than this?
Before I drop the $$$, I need to assess how hard this is going to be.
thanks in advance....

If that's the case then I assume there's no need (or point) to clone anything and if I did it sounds like I couldn't boot up anyways. This is not a good thing....correct? You're saying I just need to hook up the two computers, "migrate" thru setup and I'm done, but that sounds too easy. Don't know anything about this migration process, but the concern is the same....does it put everything in the exact same location and/or order as the old drive (ie: this is what I understand cloning does which is what allows it maintains all the pointers to data, etc....). For some reason I'm not convinced that I'll be able to just pick up and run like I did in SL once this is done.
Here's a stupid question. Is there anything that would prevent me from wiping out Lion, installing Snow Leapord on the new machine, Clone my old machine onto the new hardrive and then update the OS back to Lion?
Sounds like a roundabout way of acheiving the same thing, but at least the location and pointers would be maintained....or should be anyways.
Am I making this more complicated than it needs to be??
thank you for your input....much appreciated. Just want to make sure I got this straight before wiping everything out and pulling the trigger

Transferring old iPhone 3G content from older Macbook Pro to new & iPhone 4

Hi,
I would like to know what the most efficient way of moving all my old iPhone contacts and calendar etc. from my old Macbook Pro and iPhone 3G to my new MacBook Pro and iPhone 4?
It doesn't seem that straight forward?
Thanks,
Chris.

Use migration assistant to move everything from the old computer to the new.
Iphone should sync as always.

New LCD Screen on Satellite 110CS

Hello to all,
My problem is that i have an EPIA M1000G LVDS motherboard and i am trying to connect and old 11.3" SHARP LCD from a Toshiba 110CS laptop i had in my basement and wanted to build with these stuff a similar computer like the HP All-In-One Series
The module i need for my epia motherboard "LVDS-05" is no more available for sale, as i searched all over the internet and found nothing IN STOCK. So i should forget the fact that my motherboard has LVDS on it.
So i came up with the idea that i will connect directly my screen to the motherboard, but then another problem came out, because the screen i have has a 40pin cable that was original connected to my laptop motherboard, but i cannot find any datasheets for the diagram, to what cable is what.
The SHARP screen is a VF0166P01 / LM80C219 model SVGA, colour 11,3" STN LCD
I hope this project will rise again, as at this point is shinking...
Thank your for your time and greetings from Greece,
SpawNerGR

This notebook is so old that I dont believe anyone here can help you with this.
I mean what you need is professional help. Read your posting one more time. Who can give you answer to this?
What you can do is to visit nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation, pay the coffee for the guys there and I am pretty sure they can check maintenance manuals for this oldie and help you with this.
