Removing the back?

hey,
any help on removing the back case of the iPhone 3g or do i have to take it to an apple store?
thanks

Voiding the warranty simply mean that if something else breaks during the warranty period by itself, apple will charge you to have it replaced. For example, if my screen died tonight by itself (ie, I didn't drop the phone), Apple would most likely replace it under warranty free of charge. If they find that I have performed unauthorized modifications (ie. tried to replace screen by myself before), then they would charge me to replace it properly.
If you've already taken the cover off and messed up some thing, they will gladly fix it for you for a hefty fee and may deny any future warranty claims.

  • 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.

    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

  • Help I can't removed the back of my 6288

    Hi
    I have a new 6288 which I got today. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the back to put the battery it. The guide says it should slide my mine is very firmly attatched.
    Should the whole back (shiny black and sliver bit) or just the shiny black bit slide off?

    I heard someone used a chisel - Not a very good idea!
    If it does still not come off even with Scoobyman's advice, Take to your operator store and they will be able to help you.

  • 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???
    This question was solved.

    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!

    Hi sar_cumbria
    On the back of the phone near the base is a little rectangle about 10mm x 5mm. Hold bottom of phone between finger and thumb (back facing you) and press this rectangle with tip of your thumb while trying to pull bottom off the phone.

    Hi Luis.
    I've bought one the CrReati've leather cases. The belt clip is not removeable and is more of a belt loop.
    I don't like the case myself and replaced mine with a gel case. I don't know about the Belkin case, but I can say that the Creative case is not very good - poor design more than anything else IMO.

  • Why can't I remove the back ground with Photoshop?

    Here is the original HQ photo. I have used Microsoft paint and cleaned it up pretty well to get the following image.
    Now I'm trying to do a better clean up of this photo but I can't get smart selection to work properly it keeps either trying cut parts of the vehicle out or add other vehicles in the shot. Also tried cleaning up the car reflection seen in the doors that also doesn't seem to working right as it just made a blurred mess removing body lines and everything. Now the clean up I did with Paint seems to be good but why can't I do it better with photoshop? Isn't photoshop supposed to be better than paint and more user friendly? Also I wanted the vehicle only and the background to be transparent I can't do that with paint or photoshop at least as far as I can tell..... Seems to me it's just to smart for its own good or either I'm a complete idiot... Someone mind helping me out here?

    Since the top of the vehicle is as blown out as the sky, Photoshop is just thinking you want to include those areas as well. You probably would have been better served by using something like the Lasso Tool, selecting an outline of the vehicle (not right to the vehicle but a rough space around it, almost like a cutout). You would then click the Mask button at the bottom of the Layers panel. This puts a non-destructive mask on your image where you would then tweak the rest by erasing the edges off the rest of the mask (all non-destructively; if you make a mistake you just "paint" it back in with black).
    Thus, Photoshop pwns Paint. 
    ON EDIT: Note that the next to last sentence above applies to when using the Eraser Tool. The reverse happens with the Paint Tool; painting with white reveals (the image); black conceals.
    ON EDIT TO THE EDIT: In order to get background transparency you must save in a file format that supports transparency, like PNG. JPEG, for example, does not support transparency.

  • How do i remove the stand

    How do i go about removing the stand? I have no choice but to remove it cos then I can pop it in a backpack and carry it on a plane. someone please help
    Cheers

    If you fave a Rev A (first edition) or a Rev. B (Ambient Light Sensor) you can remove the stand by removing the back of the computer and disconnectiong the stand from the inside. The current (Rev C, iSight) model does not have a removable stand.
    A word of caution, the only real reason to remove the stand was to use a wall mount device. Leaving the stamnd off will leave a hole in the back of the computer and will allow dirt and/or other foreign objects to get into the computer.
    Proceed with caution.

  • Use of the 'Back' link in Catalog/Portal - Useful info for Catalog Admins

    Some info for anyone out there who may have noticed the small 'issue' with catalog items being duplicated when exiting a catalog using the Portal 'Back' link rather than the 'Return to Application/SRM' link.
    A problem has been identified there where portal navigation causes duplication of catalog data even where no item is selected in the catalog.
    The process might be:
    1. User accesses a catalog (any, SAP or External) and selects/adds to cart an item.
    2. User selects the 'Add Item' button in the 2nd step of the SC GAF, returning to the same catalog.
    3. User clicks on the Portal 'Back' link and is returned to the 2nd step of the Shopping Cart Guided Application Framework
    4. The initial shopped item is duplicated in the shopping cart even though no items were selected by the user.
    To ensure that this does not happen SAP have created note [1445078|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1445078] which provides the means to remove the 'Back' link thus negating the possibility of this issue occuring in the case of any catalog access.
    Please follow the steps provided in the note to modify the Portal Content and remove the back link entirely.

    Dear monique,
    The catalog no longer opens in a new window from SRM 7.0 as we now use Portal as UI or NWBC, in order to maintain session reliability the catalog frame is launched from within the Shopping Cart Guided Application Framework, this SC 'session' is then placed in ACTION SUSPEND, until the return from catalog is generated where the session is triggered to reopen with a RESUME command.
    If you wish to remove the portal navigation 'back' link, I believe you already have a note for doing so, if this has not worked, re-trace all the steps in case something was missed. It should work. By adding the bypassinb/outb_handler parameters into the call structure you should then have available the Return to SRM link instead in the catalog.
    You are also correct, use of teh integrated call structure in SPRO is no longer recommended, it is relevant for older UI technology like ITS.
    Regards,
    Jason
