PLEASE HELP -T61p- CCFL lamp not working even after replacement

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please bear with me.
Skip the first three paragraphs if you don't have time.
I bought a T61p in jan-2008. I have sent this thinkpad to service centers for repair a couple of times, once for replacing the motherboard( the bios updater screwedup) and the other time for a broken LCD hinge. The service was excellent (they even sent me spare parts a couple of times like keyboard, touchpad etc).
A few months ago i spilled some beer on the keyboard, so immediately switched it off, opened the laptop and carefully cleaned everything. Switched it on, TADA it works as good as before.
A couple of months back i realized my warranty is about to expire so i though i would send the system for a final checkup. Now the guys at the service center tell me that there is a spill and to repair it i need accidental coverage which i don't have and cannot buy after the "accident". To repair it they asked for an advance of $800 - the laptop costs around 1400, it seemed to me that the cost of repair was too high. So they send me back my machine.
Now when i switch on my machine, i can see that the screen is active (if i look it at an angle i can see even different colors) but it is almost pitch black. I did some research, bought an inverter and lcd connection cords from lenovo and replaced the old one, no difference. Thought it must be the CCFL lamp, so bought a new lcd screen and replaced the existing one, still no difference. Frustrated, i removed the whole lcd from the hinge and connected my machine to an external monitor, this works perfectly.
My Question: Where is the problem, i replaced lcd, inverter, the connector cords. If there is problem with the graphics card the external monitor shouldn't work(i can even play games on it). Is there anything that can be done (a laptop is better than a converted desktop). Please share your expert thoughts, opinions and comments.
Thanks,
Elliot

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

Trackpad Not Working Even After Replacement

About 3 months ago, I spilled water all over my T510. Everything worked afterwards, except for the trackpad and fingerprint reader. The trackpad was not even seen in BIOS. The fingerprint reader lit up, and I could turn on the laptop by sliding my finger over it, but it would not log me in, and was not detected in the OS. I removed the pamlrest, and the wires going to the motherboard had been corroded when I spilled the water.
Yesterday, I got my replacement palmrest, with trackpad and FPR included. I replaced the old one with the new one, and I checked in the bios. The trackpad was shown, along with the TrackPoint. Both were set to "Automatic". When I booted into Debian, neither the trackpad nor the trackpoint worked. I tried Windows, and it was the same. Here is what I've tried:
Palmrest Disconnected:
Trackpoint: works
Trackpad: does not work (duh)
Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Disabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Enabled:
Trackpoint: Works
Trackpad: does not work (duh again)
Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Enabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Disabled:
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Enabled in BIOS:
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Disabled in BIOS (I don't know why I included this):
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Does anybody know what is wrong? I really hope it isn't my motherboard.

It is hard to diagnose from 3000 miles away, but my guess is that if the cable got wet, so did the connector on the motherboard and/or the traces to it. If it was just water and only a drop got on the motherboard, it is possible that there is a small short at the connector (either on the outside or the inside) If that is the case, maybe cleaning it with electronics cleaner (best) or denatured alcohol will help.

If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

Window 10 upgrade. Graphics driver not working even after re-install

Notebook pavilion DV6 3280. Just upgraded to Windows 10 and AMD graphics driver not working even after re-install. What do I do? Is there another driver not on the HP Website that I should try?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

nokia n8 social loading feeds.
My wife and i have the same problem now, only last week she said my phone will not work on facebook the widget on main home screen will not load feeds at all, and the widget is now blank saying refresh all the time, so i linked the phone up to the computer and did a scan for new updates with nokia updater which you can download from nokia site.

Uninstall the social app and reboot your phone. Then go to software updates and reinstall from the offering given in the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled social twice and it has worked both times.

Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
My questions are follows:
Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
Which webcam I should get?
Thank you very much!

Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes.
The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!

Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

Hi all
Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

Anyone able to help?
1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
- Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
- Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
current situation:
still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
java on some sites still cant work

MacBook Keys not working even after KeyBoard Firmware update

My friend's sister bought me a MacBook from the US last October. Fortunately, Apple announced the release of Leopard also on the same month and I got a free upgrade to leopard. I installed leopard about 3 months back. My keyboard was working fine when I had Tiger installed. After I installed Leopard, I remember installing a Keyboard firmware update once through the Software Update.
About two three weeks back, my MacBook started acting wierd. Some keys were not working (mostly 't', 'q', left shift, left command, zero which is not working even now. I couldn't close the last bracket because the key is not working. I am a php programmer and I can't think of living without the closing bracket and zero keys . But most of the keys works on and off.
After seeing on several sites that it is a problem with firmware, I once again downloaded the firware update, but couldn't install it since the installation wizard says that my system doesn't need it.
Can someone plz tell me what to do now? Will reinstalling help?
Thanks in advance.

The problem persists everytime I restart my system or wake it up from sleep. But each time different keys have problem. I am now downloading update 10.5.4. Can someone plz help me?

Touchpad does not work even after format - x220t

Hi there,
I've had my X220 tablet for about 10 months and it has been great. For the last month however, the touchpad and touchpoint have become flaky. When rebooted or coming out of standby, the touchpoint/touchpad often did not work; after resetting a few times, i would work, but then stop working again when the system when into standby mode.
I thought this was a driver issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling to the newest drivers did nothing. I have also updated/reset the BIOS.
I have more recently have not been able to get the touchpad working at all now and relying on just the touchscreen for input is very frustrating.
When Windows 8 CP came out this week, I decided to give the computer a fresh format and reinstall Windows --- maybe that would resolve the issue. No luck. The touchpoint/touchpad did not work even in Windows 8.
I read around a bit and have tried disabling JUST the touchpad in the BIOS, and amazingly, the touchpoint will work fine when I do that. When I disable just the touchpoint or leaving both enabled, neither the touchpad or touchpoint will work.
As far as I can tell from what I have been able to diagnose, the touchpad is damaged and is causing a conflict with the touchpoint when enabled. I am not sure of this, but it is my belief now.
Are there solutions out there for me? I do have 2 months left on my warranty, but I hope to keep mailing my notebook in for support as a last resort.
thank you,
steve

If you are ready to reinstall Windows, try this method:

If after that your trackpoint/touchpad still don't work, I think one of them (or both) is defective.

Please help! Iphoto upgrade not working!!!

Iphoto is not working. When I open it, it says it is upgrading, but only goes to 99% on step five. Do you know how i can fix this and save my photos? It also doesn't let me click into anything on that window, not even at the bar at the top of the screen, so i have to go into another window and force quit it. Then it does the same thing over again. I tried restarting my computer and shutting it down, but it did not work. Can someone please help?

You must have a corrupted file someplace.
Try these steps:
1: Reset iPhoto database here
iPhoto rebuild database: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
2: Run the #12 and #13 OnyX cache cleaning and corrupted preference file list routines here
Step by Step to fix your Mac
3: Right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" inside is a folder with your Originals.
Duplicate that with the Finder >Duplicate and move OriginalsCopy out of that folder and onto the Desktop, then delete all the files inside the original Original folder and then repeat #1 above, then reimport the OriginalsCopy in batches to see if you can locate the corrupted file.
