Phone playing up after screen repair

I smashed the screen of my Z3 Compact and it went to be repaired. They had to change both the screen and the back and when I got it back they mentioned something about the screen not being screwed in, but I never thought anything of it. Now, the screen appears to be loose and I think it has been taped on the inside (double sided tape). Also, when either I recieve a phonecall or place a phonecall the screen goes black instead of recognising when I have taken the phone away from my ear and it is difficult to end the call, I have to keep pressing the lock button numerous times in order for the screen to come back on. I paid £80 to get my screen fixed so I was not expecting to have problems with it after the repair, is this something I can take it back to the shop and ask them to fix? Or is this just a problem which comes with getting the screen repaired. Many thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear about your phone
From what you're describing it doesn't sound like you have been at a Sony authorized service location. It should of course not be like that.
I recommend that you contact your local support team for information about what service locations we have in your area.
But if an unauthorized service location or dealer have opened your phone i'm afraid your warranty is probably voided.

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.

Very Weak Wifi Reception on IPad 2 after screen repair.

I had to replace the LED screen on my Ipad 2 and after the repair, the wifi signal was very week. I then replaced the wifi antenna and the signal is still extremely week. It is not a problem with the wifi signal, all my other devices have good signal. The Ipad will connect with full reception if you are 2 feet from the router. Moving away to 4' the signal drops from three bars to two bars, at about 8' it drops to one bar and the at about 14' I loose signal. Any suggestions as to the problem?

The Wi-Fi in Hotels are terrible from my past experience, I would recommend surfing the web in the lobby since most of the time that is where they keep the router. Hope this helps!

I-Phone stopping playing music after one track

I have a i-phone 3G and when I use the i-pod function it will play music fine until the next track and then it will stop and go back to the main i-phone screen. Anyone got any ideas why this is the case?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in your itunes library? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Y510P Flickering screen still after two repair jobs

Hello,
The screen on my y510p began flickering severely just a few months after I purchased it. The flicker is present on the right third of the screen, and happens on BIOS boot as well as in Windows 8 and ubuntu.
Here is a video of the flicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPI_szMcgm8
When I sent the machine in to be repaired the first time, I was told that the screen, screen connector cable, and keyboard were replaced. The problem was gone for about a week. Same flicker, in the same part of the screen.
Then it came back. Worse than before. I sent it in again, and was told the motherboard was replaced. Within a few days I began to notice the flicker again. Same flicker, and in the same part of the screen.
So after two weeks of having my computer at the repair facility, I still have the same issue. I think at this point I'd like a replacement machine, or just a plain return of the computer. How can I go about fixing this.
Thanks for reading.
-Zak

Hey zacharypch,
You are not the only one who has this problem. It is an issue that happens more often with the Y510P.
Here is the main thread on this forum about the issue:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Re-Y510P-Screen-Flashing-Flickering-Random-Colo...
Unfortunately the admin's don't post there anymore, and I don't think that Lenovo has officially recognized the issue or has found a solution.
Currently my laptop is also shipped out for repairs. One other person from The Netherlands got his money back after the repair took more than six weeks. Mine has been at the repair center for several weeks (I shipped it the 25th of March), and because of the earlier mentioned thread I doubt they will be able to find a solution...
I just hope they will be able to fix the problem or give me my money back, since I need my laptop for study purposes.
Several "fixes" mentioned in the thread are for a different problem with a flashing backlight. The problem we are having is different.

Hi,

What do you mean by this sentence exactly.....top off?
Any ideas?
I would post in the MacBook Pro late 2008, 2009 usage forum. Might be hardware related and they know your Mac best.
If you have one earlier then that, post in the Original MacBook Pro usage forum.In the meantime try a SMC reset again as it controls sleep, wake, shutdown and more.

Hey Paul,
Sadly no, I don't think it will get resolved any time. Do you have the exact same issues?
Please let me know if you solve it. Did you contact Apple support? What did they say?
THanks

Apple does not sell parts. Apple does not repair them. An out of warranty replacement for an iPhone 5 is US$229.

Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

A totally different project is played when project is played in full screen view and project is not editable

Hi
I have problems with my imovie 09. After several days of work with an imovie project I was again about to start editing my project after startup of my mac. I played through the project and everything seemed fine, but when a movie clip was moved infront of a still picture instead of after, the whole project became uneditable and unplayable. When trying to play the project in full screen mode a totally different project is played. Shutting Imovie and/or the mac down does not help. In some cases I have managed to get the red cursor moving along in my project. However, no movie is played in the screen in the right hand corner, -it is totally black, and the audio is again from a totally different project. I am not able to export the project as all the export options are grey. Some of the other projects worked fine and some did not, -and the functionality seemed a bit random from time to time after rebooting/ exiting and reentering imovie. My first guess would be that this is a memory porblem. However, looking at my activity monitor it seems that I'm only using 1.73 GB of system memory of a total of 4....I have tried remove old projects and also quite a bit of clips in my library to minimize memory use. Now it seems that all the rest of the projects are working fine, but my current project is still corrupt. I have tried copying the first clip of my project into a blank project, but it will only play in full screen mode, not in the screen in the right hand corner.
I am working on a mac mini with 2.26 Ghz intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I would be very grateful if anyone out there could help me out...Is my project totally corrupt beyond the point of no repair? Why has this happened, and how is it possible that something like this can happen without any kind of warning?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

Cannot Play MP3 after 1.3.5

I updated my phone to 1.3.5 yesterday and everything seemed to be working fine. Then I noticed that my phone no longer would ring on incoming calls and many other sounds were missing. I go into the Sounds & Ringtones settings and none of the ringtones play. I then went into the Music app to see if anything would play but no luck. I select a song and it immediately skips to the next track and so on. All of the mp3 files show up when I connect my Pre to my computer in USB drive mode and they play just fine on my computer so the files aren't' corrupt. I've rebooted the phone several times after the update but still no sound. Preware is installed but I removed everything I installed with it before running the OS update and only recently reloaded a few of the patches (after my no sound discovery).
Here are the patches I've installed with Preware just in case they may have been an influence:
Battery Icon as Percent
Call Duration in Call Log
Enable Landscape PDF View
Match State to Area Code
Timestamps - Clean (this is in Messaging app)
Anyone else encounter this? I'd rather not reset/wipe my phone if posible. Unless there is a way to backup and restore text messages.

Well it looks like it is WebOS Doctor to the rescue. After running through the steps to get my phone really really wiped it seems to be back up and running. For anyone else who encounters this or a similar issue here are the steps I took to resolve it:
Before wiping my phone:
Place the phone into Dev Mode (enter upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart in the global search, press the Dev icon when it appears, switch it On and restart the phone).
Connect the phone to a computer in Just Charge mode.
Use the WebOS Quick Install tool's Receive file tool to copy /var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3 off of the phone (This is where text messages, call logs, email settings, and probably other stuff is stored).
Switch the phone into USB Drive mode.
Copy off everything in the USB Drive.
Run the Backup app one last time just for good measure.
Wiping my phone:
Go to the Device Info app and record the phones serial number.
Go to Palm's site and download the latest WebOS Doctor here (you will need the serial number to download it).
Shutdown the phone as if you were going to swap the battery.
Press and hold the Volume Up button and plug in the charging cable, after a few seconds the screen should show a large USB symbol (use the AC adaptor not USB to a computer).
Launch WebOS Doctor and go through the steps until it asks to have the phone connected.
Now plug the phone into the computer and wait until the Next button in WebOS Doctor becomes available.
This process took a fair amount of time on my phone but didn't not have any errors. From what I've read, if there are any problems during this stage rerunning WebOS Doctor usually clears it up.
When it is done you should see the initial configuration screen asking for language, Palm Profile login, etc.
Restoring my stuff:
Run through the Palm Profile's restore during initial setup (pretty much just give passwords again for email).
Place the phone into Dev Mode again.
Connect the phone to a computer in Just Charge mode.
Use the WebOS Quick Install tool's Send file tool to send PalmDatabase.db3 to /var/luna/data/dbdata/ on the phone.
Restart the phone.
Connect the phone to a computer in USB Drive mode.
Copy back any ringtones, wallpaper, music, etc.
That's pretty much it, just random other personal preferences after that.
After doing those steps I was pretty much back where I started only with the 1.3.5 OS version and the ability to play mp3 files again. Hope this helps others!
On a side note this also fixed all the problems I was having playing videos and using the YouTube app. It never really bothered me because I don't use videos or YouTube but they never worked since I got the phone. They would both just throw an error as soon as I attempted to play anything.

Having a 3rd party replace your screen has voided your warranty. Bring your phone back to whomever repaired it. Nothing we users can do for you.

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
