Please Help Me? left IO Board Replaced

Hello,
I had a problem with my MB Pro I brought last November, it was the classic green Mag Safe light going off fault. And also my battery would charge to 100% fine, then if I rebooted, switched off then on, or hibernated and woke up the laptop, the charge level would drop to 99% whilst sill connected to the mains and the Mag Safe light remained green, this was still the case after re-calibrating.
I took the computer into my nearest Apple store 60 miles away, the Genius bar tech looked at it and booked it in. They replaced the left I/O board. I went to pick it up and it looked Ok so I left with it.
BUT, when I got home I looked more closely and now the left hand sockets are out of alignment with the holes on the case, I can still use them but I'm not happy as it was perfectly fine before and looks like a 10 second repair job on my £1500+ laptop. And to top it off I noticed tonight the battery is still dropping to 99% after waking the laptop from hibernation.
So I am not happy. I am also not prepared to make yet another 120 mile round trip. So should I call Apple tech support or Customer Services to get this resolved?

Hey thanks, you're the only person on here who said the drop in battery charge was normal!!! But I shall call Apple Care, like I said I can use the ports still but it does make you think what else did they forget to check! And they were perfectly in alignment before so has everything been put back properly for the sockets to not line up?
Anyway I don't mind being without the laptop so long as it gets fixed properly. I regard my Mac as well built so expect it to be repaired to the same standard. I'll give Applecare a call. Cheers.

  • Please Help!! NMB Keys replacement

    Dear all,
    I need urgently your help!
    I have to replace some key of my T400 Lenovo Keyboard.
    The FRU number is 42T3946 (Model MV90) = NMB Type.
    How can I find a keyboard with the same keys type?
    The keyboard type is not important, but the keys have to be identical!!!
    Thank you very much in advance!!!
    Marco

    How comes your warranty has expired?
    The T-Series sold in Germany have a 3 year warranty as standard, if it only had a 1 year warranty it must still be valid as the T400 hasn't been on the market for over a year.

  • Need Help with Titanium Powerbook board replacement

    Hi,
    I have couple questions about replacing my motherboard for my Titanium 15" Powerbook. It's a 400Mhz w/ 256MB Ram and 10GB hard drive. Would it be possible to upgrade with a different board? Would it fit? Are there any sites that offer great prices for upgrades for this? Any information would be great. It is in great condition and I would like to make use of it. Thank you for your time.

    Hi, Thank you both for the reply. I will check out the web site. I noticed in your equipment that you have a TiBook as well. How did you get it up to 1GHz? did you change the processor on that 500Mhz board? Let me know. Thanks. Appreciate your help.

  • Lenovo y510p Replacement Charger - Please HELP

    I have a problem, a big one. 4 months ago, my Lenovo y510p's charger conked off. I have been looking for the 120W replacement charger for 4 months. I called Lenovo, visited service centers, it has been a torture. My Rs. 80,000 worth laptop lies gathering dust. I can neither use it, nor sell it, nor get the data off from it (it only has enough charge to last 15 mins, so I've kept it switched off all these months). I have tried to contact Lenovo on social media for the last 2 months (you will find my post on the Lenovo India Facebook page every 2 weeks. Same story repeat, they keep saying we are going to contact you shortly with a solution and they disappear. Little did I know I would have to endure so much to get a simple charger replacement for a 2014 top end spec laptop from a company as big as Lenovo. 
    I am at my wits end. I don't know what to do. I'm desperate. Please, help me get a 120w replacement charger for my laptop.

    Lenovo P/N: 36200403
    S/N: 11S36200403ZZ6003ACBA8 PLEASE. HELP.

    I have dealt with MKCL and found them to be very helpful and efficient, not knowing which system you should be receiving as a replacement doesn't help me advise; due to the change to the **30 systems some "older" systems may be in short supply. That said we had an instance where the system to be replaced was no longer available and so they sent an even better one   took a couple of days longer than originally expected, but they kept us informed.
    The new system will have it's own warranty, if you purchased a servicepack you could ask MKCL to get it transferred to the new system, but before they can do anything they need to receive the new system from Lenovo because they don't get the s/n in advance.  Alternatively they may ask you to e-mail another department with the new systems details and your DOA call number.

  • QTKit frame number (PLEASE HELP!)

    Hi,
    I would like to get the number of frame in a video using QTKit, how could I do this? I looked through the framework and there is no apparent way to refer to the frame number, what I would like to do is be able to refer to the frame number in order to insert frames from another video into the current video.
    If anyone has any suggestions of any sort (code is also very strongly appreciated) please help.
    Thanks
    Antoine

    All HP replacement part numbers end in -001, the replacement part number is normally located by the end user accessible memory slot on the bottom of the laptop.  I believe this is your machine:
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01311536.pdf
    I looked at the system boards, there are 5 part numbers, but if you don't live in Germany, that gets rid of two, if it is not a AMD processor that gets rid of one, now you just need to find out the size of the video RAM 256 or 512 and you'll have narrowed it down.  Hope this helps, if it does, kindly give me some Kudos!

    /

    Two possibilities:
    1. Some other process is using the avg_rate table and the delete statement is having to wait until that other process is finished.
    2. There is so much to do that it will take several hours to finish. How many rows are in item_mast? Because for every row in item_mast you are inserting over 2000 rows into avg_rate. Also do rece_mast and issu_mast have an index on item_code? If not you're doing a full table scan on those tables for every row you insert into avg_rate. Do rece_det and issu_det have indexes on tran_no? If not then you're doing a full table scan on those for every row you insert.
    So if there are 1 million rows in item_mast, you're inserting 2 billion rows into avg_rate. And if this is not the first time it's been run you're also deleting 2 billion rows. That could take a lot longer than 6 hours.

    I just had my logic board replaced. i am now having trouble with using the interent even with a strong connection. all other devices are having no problem with the internet. please help

    Test while started in Recovery : if the problem persists, then it likely is a hardware issue.
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) probably won't change anything, but you can readily do it before contacting the repairers.

  • Laptop doesn't turn on after re-assembl​y and replacing thermal paste. Please help!

    Hi,
    I hope anyone can help me. I took apart my laptop HP HDX16 to replace thermal paste and clean up the fan. I did everything very carefully as showed in manual. I cleaned the old paste and pads off and replaced thermal paste but not the pads as someone in the store suggested that there is no need for putting pads and that the thermal compound is enough to have it on there. I left only one pad on the heat sink in place where it services Northbridge as it was in good condition. On the Northbridge itself I put thermal compound as well as on the GPU and CPU.  I put back every screw and connected each cable as it was before (I am pretty sure about it). I was quite happy with my job but after I tried to turn the computer on it wouldn't start at all. Did I do something wrong? Please help me because I don't have any idea what to do now.

    I am a little confused here, it sounds like you removed all the thermal pads except for one, if this is so, you need to put all the thermal pads back in place.
     Anyways aside from that, if you plug the adapter in you will have a steady light where it plugs into the laptop. The light will always be on whether the machine is booted up or not.
     If you don't have a steady light then you need to check the DC receptor where it plugs into the MoBo. Sometimes a cable may look like it's fully seated, but isn't. It still will boot up with the battery in place even if the DC jack plug is not correctly seated.
     Check the small ribbon cable on the power button board where it connects into the MoBo.
     Check that the processor is correctly aligned with it's key and that the locking mechanism is fully locked.
     Make sure the RAM is seated correctly.
     If these suggestions sound obvious, I have to start some where.
      The problem here is that only you can help your self because you disassembled you machine, I can only make suggestions as what you may have missed and obviously something was missed.
     If your thinking that you incorrectly applied the thermal paste, then that's not the problem. Even if there were no thermal pads or paste in place, the machine would still boot up, but it would heat up very quickly.
     If the fan plug was plugged in incorrectly you would get a message in the BIOS upon boot up saying that the fan has a problem and it would shut down, but it sound like it's not even getting that far.
     There is also a secondary fan that is used to cool the hard drive bays, check that plug as well. You may not get a BIOS message if this fan is not plugged in.

  • PT880 board problems, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

     
    someone please help. so my computer is running totally fine. i plug in my usb cable for my wifes digital camera like normal, but it smelled funny.................   strange cause she has used this so many times. anyways at the boot up screen it checks memory and pretends like it is going to boot up but does not. it just locks up. i cant boot from a floppy disk, cd or anything. the leyboard wont even work. i have had the board for almost a month with no problems. i tried to force update the bios, reset the bios and reset the cmos and nothing is working. can someone please point me in the right direction? thank you in advance.

      Oh dear that doesnt sound good, does the fans and CD rom lights come on ok? I ask because from the sound of it the best thing would be if it was just the powersupply that had blown.  Try reseatin all components and booting with the mimimum, e.g CPU, mem, graphics etc.  If not then....... well i think you know
