Removing Ideapad U410 back cover

Im trying to remove the cover of my Y500 to upgrade to an SSD and I have all but one screw out... The screw between the 2nd video card bay and the yellow USB slot has this red "bulb" type thing covering the screw. Can I just try and pry it out?

Removing the back cover

Hi all,
Well, we have the ever-popular, iMac G5 that won't power up issue. No sound, no video, the light turns on. The one-year warranty expired on 2/17/07 and it's not in the first generation iMacs covered by Apple's extended repair for this issue.
We are interested in diagnosing in more detail but are having a hecka time getting the back cover off. Funny how the user's manual simply states: raise the foot and lift the back cover off. Sure.
Anyway, anyone have some back cover removal tips or tricks? We've got some old credit cards we can ruin but aren't having much luck with those either.
Thanks.

"Funny how the user's manual simply states: raise the foot and lift the back cover off."
Please advise which model G5 iMac you are trying to remove the back cover?

Removing back cover no captive screws?

Several months ago my toddler stuck something in my imac g5 with isight's slot drive.
Today, I had problems starting the computer as it remains on the grey loading screen and never goes to the log-in page.
I recently read up on how to remove the back cover. There are no captive screws on the bottom panel of mine. There are 5 screws that come out and then when I go to lift the back cover the whole LCD screen with components removes from it's plastic housing. The cover is not opening up?
Can someone please help me? Please? I feel like I'm going crazy!

I'm afraid that unless your can get your iMac into Target Disk Mode you will have to rely on the tech to remove your drive and copy it. Actually, if they are working on the optical drive and the logic board, there;s no reason why you should lose your data, but to be on the safe side, ask the techs to copy your drive to another one.

Some middle cases are a a bit tight which make the back case hard to open.
Instructions for opening case:
1. Place handset in left hand (screen down)
2. Place left thumb just under groove that comes from camera
3. Place right thumb at the bottom of case so that the top of the thumb can press the button but bottom of thumb will push very bottom of case down.
4. with both thumbs working together push down and up with right thumb and up with left thumb.
Case SHOULD click open, if the button has moved up inside the back case the plastic springs have bent or broken and the unit needs to go into a CNSP.

Hi, I just tried doing what you suggest but am not quite sure what groove you mean in respect of the groove that comes from the camera. From the side this phone looks like it is three layers and I am not sure which bit/s are supposed to slide anyway now. My button is now half pushed underneath the back of the 'back' but is still sort of moving up and down if pressed on, but I just cannot budge the back or what I think is the back in any way whatsoever. My thumb is short and I cannot push the button down and push the back with the same thumb! Unfortunately taking the phone to a shop is not an option and I need the phone for business for Monday. I am scared of breaking it by using force. Someone has mentioned a knack and a way of getting it off but has not said how apart from yourself.Message Edited by binarycape on 03-Mar-2007

Nokia 2730 back cover impossible to remove

I just bought this phone and have spent 20+mins trying to open the back cover. I did push down and slide downwards towards the bottom of the phone but it just won't move. Youtube videos show this being done seamlessly. What's wrong with my phone?

Hi,
According to your description, seems the dutch language has already been set to the primary language, but the layout remains incorrect. I suggest you manually set the input method via
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Language\Advanced settings
Under "Override for default input method", choose the keyboard layout you'd like to be your default keyboard, and then tap or click
Save. check the result.
Regarding to removing the English language,
You will not be able to remove your primary display language, set a different language as your primary display language first instead. (though you mentioned that you've set dutch as primary language, I type this here to make a
confirmation)
Removing a language from your list does not uninstall its language pack. So you should uninstall it first before removing the language from your list.

How can I remove the back cover for my ipod?

I need to remove the cover because my ipod seems to be suffering from a hardrive problem. It used to just cycle through all the songs in a playlist or randomly play 5 seconds and skip to the next song, but now it just makes a whirring noise when I try to turn it on and cannot get past the apple logo.
Sometimes I get the little unhappy ipod logo and the support website but thats it.
Iv tried going into diagnostic mode and attempting to run a few tests. It failed a USB test in this mode so i think that may be one of the problems with it.
Does anyone know of a fool proof way of removing the case so I can dis/reconnect the harddrive?

Before you remove the back cover of your iPod - which will loss the warranty
Read the following
he Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?

I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Product name: HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory? All the HP website shows is how to remove memory covers. Unfortunately, with newer models like mine, the whole back cover needs to be removed. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove it but so far all that I have succeeded in doing is to scratch my cover. So can anyone help???

Hi,
The procedure is detailed starting on Page 67 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Note: I don't work for HP, but looking at the degree of disassembly required, I would say the procedure may well void the conditions of warranty.

MSi 2260 All-in-one: Removing the back cover

Does anyone know how to remove the back cover of the All-in-one? I've removed the stand, all the screws round the edges, and the plastic cover at the top, all to no avail. I don't want to force anything. The machine is out of warranty, and it's getting slow and noisy so I thought whilst I rebuilt it I might replace the main H/D with a solid state drive. Not a very good start then when I can't even remove the back!
thanks
qb

I just recently replaced the hard drive in mine. You do not have to remove the stand. Lay it screen down on a towel. Remove 8 screws (1 under the warranty sticker).
The tricky part is removing the front of the DVD tray without breaking it, but it is possible. Straighten out a paper clip and push it in the little hole in the DVD tray--the door will open--then use a small knife to release the hooks that hold the DVD tray cover to the DVD tray. Careful, don't break it!

Ideapad U410 Refurb from outlet - "Battery is not detected"

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a refurbished Ideapad U410 touch from the lenovo outlet website and received it a few days ago. I charged the laptop and it says "battery is not detected" in the notification area. Once I unplug the charger, the laptop will instantly shut off and can't be used unless there is a charger connected. From what I understand, the battery can be missing, wires disconnected or faulty, or the battery is completely dead. Since I purchased it just over a week ago, I have a 21 day full warranty and another limited 1 year warranty on top of that.
I've contacted lenovo support over the phone and have been redirected in circles over 5 times without being able to get a replacement or ship it back. I don't want to remove the bottom cover either since that will void my warranty. Can someone please help me out with a direct number or who to contact? I've been told Post Sales Support is the correct department but I can't seem to ever reach it....
Thanks in advance,
Mitchell

Schlechte Garantieabwicklung - IdeaPad U410

Hallo. Ich habe das geiche Problem. Bei meinem IdeaPad U410 ist nach 14 Monaten sachgemäßer Verwendung und Behandlung das rechte Schanier gebrochen. Ich wies Lenovo darauf hin, dass mir Ihr Fall sowie ähnliche Fälle bekannt sind. So z.B. diese Forumsbeiträge: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/Kaputtes-Schanier-nach-nur-6-1-2-Monaten-bei-ideapad-n581/m-p/1396483#M2935 und http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/S205-Display-Aufh%C3%A4ngung/m-p/584113#M228, ein anderer Kunde klagt über ein schwergängiges Schanier: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Notebooks/Lenovo-z560-Geh%C3%A4use-Reparatur/m-p/491057#M151 wie es auch in einem Testbericht über das IdeaPad U410 Touch angemerkt wurde: "Das Display öffnet sich etwas schwergängig […]“ (www.notebookcheck.com).Diese Problematik ist Lenovo also geläufig. Meiner Meinung nach liegen dem Fehler im Zusammenbau zugrunde, eine straffe Montage einerseits und zu filigrane Konstruktion andererseits, welches zu einer verfrühten Materialermüdung führt. Auffallend ist, dass Anträge auf Reparatur im Rahmen der Garantieeistungen offensichtlich standardmäßig mit gleicher Begründung abgelehnt werden, nämlich, dass Schäden am Gehäuse des Gerätes auf unsachgemäße Handhabung hindeuten und daher eine kostenfreie Reparatur nicht gewährleistet wird.Ich habe daraufhin nochmals erklärt, dass mein Gerät stets vorbildlich behandelt wurde und die angemerkten Kratzer im Gehäuse in keinem Zusammenhang mit dem zerbrochenen Scharnier stehen - weder zeitlich noch technisch. Ich finde Qualitätsmängel des vorliegenden Ausmaßes und ein derartiger verfrühter Ausfall eines Gerätes sind nicht akzeptabel. Wenn es dennoch zu einem solchen Fall kommt, erwarte ich mir vom Hersteller Einsicht in die mangelhafte Verarbeitung und eine gewisse Kulanz bezüglich der Gebrauchsspuren am Gehäuse. Stattdessen wird offensichtlich verucht, dem Kunden Fremdverschulden zu testieren, um somit einer Garantieleistung zu umgehen. Obwohl ich von dem Support hier in der Lenovo.community rasche und hilfreiche Antworten gewohnt bin, möchte ich explizit um eine schnelle Annahme dieser Angelegenheit bitten. Lenovo/medion hat mir ein Frist von 2 Tagen (bis 26.März) gesetzt um zu reagieren, andernfalls wird das Gerät unrepariert zurück gesendet. Vielen Herzlichen Dank im Voraus.

Hallo,
letztens ist mir beim aufklappen meines Lenovo IdeaPad U410 auf der linken unteren Seite das Front Bezel entgegen gekommen. Die Verankerung des Scharniers in der Displayrückseite hatte sich gelöst. Meiner Meinung nach einer der Dinge die bei einem Laptop nicht schief gehen dürfen!!!
Der Laptop wurde im April 2013 gekauft.
Nun wende ich mich an den Lenovo Support und lande erst mal bei MEDION.
Gerät wird am 30.12.2013 eingeschickt. Heute am 16.01.2014 bekomme ich einen Kostenvoranschlag von MEDION mit der Standardbegründung: "Das Gehäuse des Gerätes weist Schäden auf, die auf unsachgemäße Behandlung zurückzuführen sind. Eine konstenlose Reparatur im Rahmen der Garantie ist daher nicht möglich."
Kostenpunkt: 124,70€ 15,00€ Backcover, 15,00€ LCD Bezel??? (warum sollte das ausgetauscht werden müssen? dazu besteht keine Notwendigkeit!) 74,79€ Reparaturpauschale. (alles Netto)
Welche Schäden bitte??? Das Gerät war bis auf den von mit geschilderten Fehler in top Zustand!!!
Habe bereits bei einer Recherche im Netz rausgefunden, dass ich nicht der erste bin dem MEDION auf unverschämte Art und Weise versucht die Garantieleistung zu verwehren.
Kann mir hier jemand vielleicht weiterhelfen, beziehungsweise hatte auch schon Erfahrungen in der hinsicht mit dem MEDION Reparaturservice?
Ich finde das einfach eine Frechheit. Wie zur Hölle soll ich den daran Schuld sein dass sich die Schrauben aus der Display back cover gelöst haben? Ist auf und zu klappen des Notebooks unsachgemäße Behandlung???
Hinzu kommt noch: das Schreiben ist vom 10.01.2014 und kommt heute am 16.01.2014 an??? Wohlgemerkt, im Schreiben ist eine Frist gesetzt 24.01.2014. Bei denen versucht man wohl alles um keine Garantieleistungen erbringen zu müssen.
Ich freue mich über jede Hilfe!!!
Viele Grüße
EDIT 16.01.2014 14:16Uhr:
Habe versucht den Service unter der auf dem Schreiben angegebenen Nummer zu erreichen.
Nach einer Ansage, dass es nach dem Ton 1,29€ kostet bleibt mir nichts anderes übrig als zu warten und das in Kauf zu nehmen. Doch nachdem Ton fängt die typische Warteschleife Musik für den Bruchteil einer Sekunde an. Danach werde ich einfach aus der Leitung geworfen - abgelegt. Das kann doch nicht wahr sein???!!

Are there any problems using a back cover.

I want to protect the back of my iPad from scratches. Are there any problems using a skin or cover on the back?

Is it ok to cover the back of iPad 2? Won't it affect the cooling system? Coz I don't see any ventilation point and it may be the back metal plate itself which brings out the heat. I purchased a "Targus" back cover from apple store and it fits perfectly and beautifully also very comfortable to handle but I removed it thinking that it might harm., also Apple hasn't introduced any sort of back cover either, only the smart cover for the screen they have, may be coz the back is designed to be open to the air.

Z1 COMPACT REPLACEMENT BACK COVER.

Sony Mobile! I bought my xperia z1 compact and it easily scratches itself. I want to replace the back cover because it acquired so many scratches in just a week of placing it in my pocket! The front i removed the asf! I called the service center here in Manila to inquire about the back cover replacement and it is 2500 pesos!!!! And they will add a 750 pesos labor!! This is not good! This is not how you provide support for replacement parts if i am within warranty! I think 2500 pesos replacement for the back cover is expensive and an additional 750 for the labor is robbery! We need a discount if we are within warranty! Call me 63998 971 8019! Btw we are mislead that it is scratch resistant! It is not!!!

I'm sorry to hear that.
I suggest that you raise this with your local support team to get further information about the warranty and how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

Nokia 2600 classic - how do I get the back cover o...

I have just bought my first mobile phone ever, so am a complete novice; I have tried to follow the instructions to press the release button and take off the back cover to fit the battery, but I cannot get the cover to open.
The main question is, am I trying to open the phone at the right end - i.e. if the phone is face down, the end nearest to the loudspeaker?
I am loathe to use an implement on the phone in case I damage the case.
Any advice would be very welcome - I feel so stupid!
Thank you.

nothing to be ashamed of, we all have problems with certain phones sometimes.
the back cover of the 2600 is quite big and covers the whole back side plus sides of the phone that's why it's difficult sometimes to remove.
the release button is located at the top of the device , with the phone facing down press on that button, remeber that the body of the button is actually part of the body and not of the cover and so performs as a latch.
while pressing hard enough on that button you can fell that the button goes in enough distance to clear the whole thickness of the back cover plastic. Now wedge your finger nail between the cover and the body anywhere at the top of the device, that should give you enough lift to release the upper part of the cover.
pull up and slightly backward to release the lower part of the cover.
for a diagramtic representation , please take alook at your user manual, available here:
nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_2600_UG_EN.pdf .
