Refurb T440s - big piece of dust right in the middle of the screen? Low battery?

I'm really disappointed.
Just got a T440s refurb and there's a big giant piece of dust right in the middle of the screen like it's stuck between two panels or something. And the battery is at 57 minutes with 75% remaining. When I stick the second battery in it goes up to 2 hours. I thought it was supposed to last like 7 hours??

The dust has the obvious solutions. Hope your refurb has 1 year depot warranty.
As for the battery, what is the full charge capacity of each battery compared to the design capacity of the battery. HWmonitor can report these values.

    Depends where you got it, if you purchased it at an Apple store call up and make an appointment to save dragging it around, if online contact support, if another outlet take it straight back.

  • 23" hot pixel right in the middle of the screen

    I've just bought a 23" for photography. The problem is that there is a hot green pixel in the middle of the screen which makes calibration with my spyder2 calibrator an issue : It's hard to get around the calibration zone (which displays the color that read the calibrator).
    And obviously the calibrator window is non movable...
    Therefore the black read seems to be wrong, and I can see a subtle yet very annoying shift to the purples in the shadows, which for photography makes the whole 23" completely useless.
    I've looked about the Apple license on this (before coming to that forum) and it seems that the only green pixel in the middle of the screen would not make it elligible for a replace.
    So did I just spend 1150 euros for nothing ?
    Thanks for any reply on this,

    Hi-
    You are not alone-BUT, at least it's not a dead pixel. A stuck pixel can be repaired (un-stuck) by .............Massage!
    Yes, this is for real. It worked for me on my bright green pixel, 1 cm right of dead center.
    Here are some links to "How To's":
    http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor
    Some find success using a "software" method- basically a looped video flashing the monitor:
    http://fixdeadpixels.uv.ro/fix-stuck-pixels.html
    http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/how-to-fix-your-stuck-pixel-on-lcd.htm l
    I have read reports, though, of the flashing monitor trick to cause more stuck pixels.
    Other reports are of users both massaging and flashing at the same time.
    So, you and your pixel don't have to be "stuck" with each other.......!

  • Flashplayer pop up box  "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.

    Move cursor onto video.  Right click.  Click Settings,  Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close.  That will work.
    For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
    video.  See, if it works for you.

  • The website is not centered in the middle of my screen, right side is gone and left side is white. Only in safetymode the screen is centered in the middle

    Websites are dislayed in the middle of the screen. Half the website is gone on the right side. on the left side it is white. Only when i startup in safetymode the websites are displayed in the center of the screen

    When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Songs skip right in the middle of the song

    when I listen to some songs right in the middle of the song it just stops and skips for no reason. In the past i've seen this issue go right within the first 0-10 seconds of the sogn but this time it is in th e middle.
    What is causing this and how can I fix it?

    I just started having this problem after the last itunes software update. It only happened on some songs. I tried resetting the iPod and that wiped out all my songs on the iPod. When I reload them, the problem now happens on all songs. Great solution, huh? Have you found a way to fix by any chance?

  • HT4623 (the screen is OK) right in the middle of the volume tap so now I can't use the volume tap on the side. Is this fixable, if so will it be costly?

    I dropped my ipad
    it dented the side of the case (the screen is OK)
    it dented right in the middle of the volume tap
    now volume tap doesn't work.
    Help...

    If it has just stopped working and you have had it for less than a year, Apple will replace the iPad for free (make sure to back it up to iTunes first). If not, you will either have to pay for a new one, or get it fixed.

  • My keyboard appears right in the middle of the screen. How do I lower it to the bottom of the screen.

    How do I reposition the keyboard? It appears right in the middle of my screen.

    There is a key on the iPad keyboard to move where it is positioned.
    It is the very bottom right key, image of a keyboard with an arrow. You can press and hold it and it will give you the option to dock it back where you're used to it.

  • I walked into a dark room with my iPad and tripped on something. I then dropped the iPad on my bed. When I fell my elbow landed right in the middle of the screen of the iPad. I have a 30 dollar case. Now half the screen is black. What should I do?

    Not much you can do other than to take or send your iPad to Apple and pay their replacement charge.

  • I have a dead thunder bug, right in the middle of my screen and it's dead!!

    I have a dead thunder bug, right in the middle of my screen and it's dead!! It's so annoying - what can I do? How the **** did it get in there.

    Uhm. It crawled in there? Strange.
    If your laptop is still under warranty then bring it to an apple store. This way they will take it apart for you and you wont be voiding your warranty.
    If it's not under warranty, you could bring/call a apple store and see if they will do it for free.

  • TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

    Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

    I just found out how to solve the problem today
    Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
    I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!

  • The search bar in the top right hand side of my screen works fine, but the main search bar in the middle of the home screen doesn't at all; do you know how I can fix this?

    I can access bookmarked pages, pages that are on a saved RSS feed, and can search the web using the top right-hand bar on my screen. However, the main bar, in the center of the home page (not sure of the correct name) will not do anything - whether I press search, or hit enter on my keyboard. There also appears to be another bar underneath that, which I can press, but it remains useless.
    My Dad is running Firefox 4 on his computer, and has showed me what it is meant to look like. I can therefore conclude that there is definitely something up with mine.
    I am currently using Firefox 4 with my laptop, which runs Windows 7.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 4, but the problem still remains. I am not keen to use Internet Explorer, purely because I have bookmarked so many pages on the previous version of Firefox but also because I get on very well with the whole layout etc.
    If it comes to it, I am willing to take the risk of losing my bookmarks, but if there are any suggestions at '''''all''''' of how I could possibly fix this problem, I would welcome them.

    Go to this address: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?country=AU
    Item 24 lists 3 installable major search engines for Australia.
    You can also restrict your search in Google by including ''country:au'' or ''location:au'' or ''city:perth'' (for example) in your search terms. Example: ''city:sydney plumbers'' in the Google search box will list plumbers in cities named sydney.

  • My ipod touch battery in the top right says it is full when the large icon in the middle of the screen says it is not full?

    I plugged my ipod touch in to be charged because the battery is 20% and after a few minutes of charging it says on the right hand corner that it is full, but the large battery in the center of the screen says it is dead. Then I unplug it and it says the battery is 20%. How do I get it the charge?

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
