PB NOT WORKING AFTER "REPAIR"

I just got my PlayBook back from "repair" and my volume buttons don't work, the camera doesn't work, and when I go to pictures it doesn't work either. I don't know what to do, this hard reboot things doesn't work and my warranty has run out about now. But if they send it back and it's still an overpriced paperweight, shouldn't they take it in again and fix it proper? I used to be proud RIM was a Canadian company, now I'm just ashamed... 

I got a similar experience, I had mine sent to replace a cracked screen, they charged me $150 for the repair, and instead of repairing it they set a replacement, and the replacement can not be ACTIVATE, and I found out that it is registered in RIM database as stolen, and there is nothing that I can do because when I call the support number all they tell me is that I can sent it back to them for testing, the testing would cost me another $150 and then they would send it back to me in the same state ie. not ACTIVATE
If after testing they decide that it can be exchange, then that would cost me $300.
In the end this repair would cost me more then what I apid for the device when I bought it in April 2011
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

  • Keys (MJU) are not working after repair

    Hello,
    I've sent my MBP early 2011 for motherboard replacement, as affected model.
    After repair service inform me some keys are not working anymore (MJU), thay asked me 290 euros for repair
    What should I do? Anyone else had the same problem?

    I never managed to get the keys to work again, but maybe I haven't been holding them long enough.
    I have read somewhere that Apple ask for more than 300€ (USD 400) to change the keyboard, so I am considering opening myself my Crapple Crapbook Pro and change it myself.
    I am quite ****** actually. A keyboard shouldn't die like this with no reason less than 3 years later. My Powerbook G4 that I used a lot much more than the Macbook is still working fine.

  • Y410p Front headphone and microphone jacks not working after repair

    I recently (last month) sent  my IdeaPad Y410p in to Lenovo for repairs due to the laptop not turning on, or repeatedly restarting at the BIOS screen. The laptop was repaired by Lenovo (they replaced the motherboard), and returned it to me. The laptop has worked great sincce then, except that the two USB ports on the right side and the headphone and microphone jacks do not work. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, twice, but have not reinstalled the chipset drivers at all, as I don't want to screw around with those untiol I no more about what I should do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Talonek, welcome to the forums,
    the problem you are experiencing is probably due to the cable connecting the ports on the right side, front of system, to the mainboard unfortunately not being connected or connected properly.  Please see pdf page 52 of the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual.
    I've never taken an Y410p apart, but having looked at the manual the cable connection may well be accessible to check / fix by removing the hard drive.  Another alternative would be to call service and ask them to do this for you.

  • Control key not working after repair

    I took my macbook in over the weekend to the genius bar for them to look at the display hinge, from the paperwork it looks like in addition to replacing the display they also replaced the logic board and the wifi card.
    I got the laptop home and the control key is not working. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM doesn't fix the issue, nor does fiddling with keyboard/universal access settings.
    Is this a hardware issue? Do I need to make another trip to the genius bar?

    Hm-m, I got exactly the same problem, got the logic board replaced today, and at home discovered that the control key is not working. Have you found the solution?

  • ISight not working after screen repair

    My iSight is not working after a screen repair (which was damaged during Apple fixing the topboard!). Could it be possible that the camera is damaged in some way during a screen being replaced? I am a bit annoyed that they did not check the machine after all of teh repairs were made as I have a number of adverse issues with it now.
    Has anyone else experience this after a screen replacement? I get the message that there is no camera attached, or that it is in use. I have followed threads regarding checking login items etc, to no avail.
    The iSight is important to me as I am a long way from home. It is annoying that something seems to go wrong with the MacBook, when I most need it.

    When an iSight isn't working, there are a variety of simple things you can try (see further below), but one thing few people think of, is to connect a Firewire or USB drive that contains a bootable system, which has previously been tested on a known-good Mac to make sure the iSight works when booted from that drive, and see if the problem still occurs with the Mac that's under test. That's a quick way of testing whether the problem is hardware or software.
    Other things to try:
    - Reset PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware.
    - Reset your Mac's SMU--see documentation for your Mac for specifics.
    - Repair permissions.
    - Make a new user account, and see if it happens there.
    - Check Login Items in the Accounts prefpane for anything that might be causing the trouble, like printer or scanner items.
    - Try what's suggested at www.eriymati.com.ar/isight/
    - Reset the printing system in Printer Setup Utility, since some printer/scanner drivers can stop the iSight from working--if that helps, see if your printer/scanner can work with OS X's built-in drivers; if it can't, download the latest driver for your printer/scanner from its manufacturer's web site, and see if that allows the printer/scanner to work, without interfering with the iSight, but some manufacturers, including HP, Epson, etc. are still dragging their feet about making such drivers. If the printer/scanner driver still causes trouble, uninstall it, then replace the printer/scanner with one whose manufacturer has enough brains to write a driver that doesn't interfere with the iSight (some specifically state now, in their System Requirements, that they don't work with Macs that contain built-in iSights, so check this before you buy another printer/scanner).
    Sometimes a non-working iSight is caused by something wrong at a "deep" System level (meaning, it might be caused by a single bad or missing file, but it might take days to find it)--if you find that to be the case, the quickest fix if you find the steps above (and others described here and elsewhere), is to reinstall OS X, either by doing an Archive and Install, or by making a bootable backup of the drive, erasing it, then using Migration Assistant to copy the data from the backup.

  • Satellite L870-165 does not work after being repaired by their service

    Laptop Toshiba warranty does not work after being repaired by their service twice.
    Model: Satellite L870-165
    Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
    After reboot still happening the same.
    I called Toshiba phone incident and after trying several options I said take him to repair the service.
    They first told me it was the hard drive, then phoned me to indicate that reinstalling and finally it was the motherboard, which supposedly changed. The day after being picked computer repair returned to give exactly the same error, only malfunctioned one evening.
    After another call to 902 the Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I got home the computer did not start even once, again gives the same error.
    I believe that this team comes with a factory default so that its solution is not easy because even the technical service told me that I did not know what else to do with it.

    >Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
    This message pops up because the notebook cannot find the Windows system.
    There could be either an problem with the HDD or maybe the HDD is OK but the Windows system isnt preinstalled properly.
    You said that the service agent changed the HDD. But did someone install the Windows system?
    You can try to do it yourself take your recovery disk (hopefully you created such disk in the past) and boot from the recovery disk in order to install the system.
    In case booting from the Disk would not be possible, go to BIOS (F2) and disable the secure boot and change from UEFI to CSM mode

  • Microsoft Excel 2013 add-in not working after update

    I have originally posted this question at answers.microsoft.com and have been re-directed to post here. (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-excel/microsoft-excel-2013-add-in-not-working-after/298aff03-c90a-4a2a-b67b-07b6f3c7648c)
    We are an organization with over 200 users and are currently using Microsoft Office 2013 (Click-to-run install via Office 365 portal), we have noticed that in Excel when we apply the monthly Office update, the add-in (e.g. Analysis Toolpak) would stop working
    with the following error message displayed.
    I tried updating from 15.0.4631.1004 to 15.0.4641.1003,
    15.0.4641.1003 to 15.0.4649.1004, they all gave the same results.
    I have checked the captioned file path and it is indeed missing, I think the update mechanism messed up the add-in somehow, a full re-install would fix it as quick or online repair is not doing the trick.  This is not the only add-in it is affecting
    as there are some 3rd party add-ins are affected as well.
    Please advise how we can fix this without needing to re-install Microsoft Office.  Thank you!

    I don't have 365 or C2R so I can't address your main question, so just a few thoughts which may not be applicable in your setup.
    Check the addin manager to see if your addins are listed and ticked. If listed (ticked or not) check the registry to see where the location is written, if ticked look here
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
    and look for keys named OPENx, where x is the order number the addin is loaded
    if not "ticked" instead of \Options look in \Add-in-Manager
    With a VBA macro or in the VBE's immediate window return
    Application.LibraryPath 
    Assuming you found a listing in the registry do the paths match, if not look in the .LibraryPath to see if the addins got unloaded there into the subfolder \Analysis
    If you find the file(s) try un-installing and reinstalling the addins, but browse to the actual folder don't simply tick. If you can't find the files, copy them (from a different system) to the folder indicated by .LibraryPath. In the addin manager uninstall
    them if installed, close the manager, open it again and the addins should be listed, tick to re-install.
    You say your other addins don't work, I wonder if some mixup has occurred with what Excel thinks is the default path, but note for other addins the default addins path is returned by app.UserLibraryPath
    Are you using a Chinese system?

    My MBP  15" early 2008 / 10.6 ((2.4GHz Core 2 Duo/2GB/256MB VRAM/200GB 5400rpm)  is not working after looking to aYouTube short film. It made a strange strong noise , I closed it and when I switched on again I have a gray display and a frozen wheel on it... Can you help? Do I have to repair or change any part ?  Thanks

    That model has a known fault in that Nvidea sold Apple and other computer manufacturers bad GeForce 8600M GT video chipsets that failed eventually. Apple had a program that repaired this at no cost to the owner but it expired almost two years ago.
    If this is what happened to yours, and the symptoms suggest so, the only proper fix is a new logic board and I amd pretty sure Apple no longer has parts. When my Late 2007 MBP (same faulty chipset) failed, Apple told me there were no more parts and they could not even do the fixed-rate "depot repair" on mine even though I was willing to pay the ~US$300 for the repair.
    The early 2008 MBP is on the vintage and obsolete list:
    Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
    The fact that yours is shown as "vintage" means Apple will not work on it but an independent service provider MAY be able to get the parts from Apple. However, as so may new logic boards were required to satisfy the repair program, from a practical standpoint boards for these are hard to find.

  • My itunes not working after it tried to download the new version. it keep giving error 7

    my Itunes not working after it tried to download the new version. it give me message: erro 7 or window error 193. need help. thank

    What worked for me was to uninstall from the control panel in this order: Thanks to another post on this board... this worked... link to the discussion here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5817584?tstart=0
    ITunes
    Apple Software Update

    I had problems uninstalling Apple Mobile Support, I had to repair it first before I could uninstall it. You will have to restart the computer after all the uninstalls, and before reinstalling ITunes. I reinstalled ITunes from the Apple website afterwards (fresh download) ... everything works for me now that I have done this.

  • My keyboard does not work after cleaning :-(

    Hello, I have a MacBook Pro (bought in december 2009) an now the keyboard does not work after I cleaned it. This was on thursday and today it still does not work. Any ideas?

    Chances are that you've shorted the terminals on the keyboard, and will need to be replaced… When the keyboard on unibody MacBook Pro's is replaced the whole 'top case' will be done, trackpad etc… Now generally it is highly unlikely that the Liquid submersion indicators will have been activated unless the cloth was saturated with water. Also unless you purchased the AppleCare protection plan your MacBook will be out of warranty and will require an out of warranty repair.
    From knowledge out of warranty repair for a top case assembly it's £163 and a level 2 hardware repair is £28

  • Wireless not working after VMware kit installation

    After installing VMWare kit, my wireless network card is not working - any clues?

    there is something very wierd here. Let me recap what I KNOW is happening.
    1) I can connect to WAP at boot no problem. This is true 100%
    2) After sleep systems fails 100% time from 5:30 AM to 10:00PM (not sure why)
    3) There have been no changes to WAP (confirmed using checksums)
    4) This started immediately after 10.4.10 install.
    What I have done that does NOT work
    1) Repair disk perms (no errors)
    2) Repair keychain (no errors)
    3) Remove Parallels (expired Demo)
    4) Remove/recreate network
    5) Run commands indicated in other replies
    What I have done that showed hope
    1) If I create a new location I can use that location to recover from exactly 1 sleep. Subsequent sleeps fail for that location. once all locations are used a reboot is required.
    2) Issued ipconfig setverbose 1 and watched logs. It seems that the Mac never Sees the incoming packets. I can rule out WAP issues as the Dell d620 sitting right next to the Mac is indicating packet reception at 100% (and I am only 10ft from WAP with direct line of sight).
    3) issued ipconfig getpacket en1 in both working and non-working states. Woring stated returns expecte DHCP response from server. non-working state returns nothing. as in not even a blank line.
    So as I see it the Mac does not appear to be reenabling the reciever post sleep. Changing locations seems to re-init the airport card but only once (why once?) enough to get it working. What I don't understand is where in software land I would even start to look. I find it hard to believe that there is a coincidental sync between an OS update and a hardware failure on a 4 week old machine.

  • Tecra M7: Tablet does not work after lid closing

    Has anyone had problems with the tablet not working after closing the lid on a Tecra M7? Bios is 3.20
    Doesn't seem to happen on hibernate or sleep.
    I have the lid set to do nothing on close.

    Hi
    What do you mean with tablet not working after closing the lid?
    Does the notebook freezes or what?? What happens exactly???
    The close the lid settings can be set to hibernation mode or standby mode or no action.
    These settings can be set in the power saver setup actions.
    If you have some problems with some installed Toshiba applications I would recommend reinstalling the TOSHIBA Common Modules and the program which doesnt run correctly!
    Best regards
