Replace CD Bezel On Quicksilver

Sorry to clutter the forum with questions; I asked if anyone knew how to replace a front panel on a Quicksilver G4 but then I found this link to We Love Macs selling a CD Bezel (the part I need replaced) on its own. If they sell just that part, then presumably, I can detach and replace just that part. I just need to figure out how. (They don't offer instructions.)
So if anyone can figure out the secret (which seems very closely guarded, since I've been Googling non-stop) then I'd be grateful.
Thank you.

Are you interested in removing the blank/Zip bezel below the optical drive's door or the optical drive's hinged door/bezel? The former can be easily done by pressing its release tab (located just inside the chassis interior, close to the optical/Zip drives carrier) inward and straight toward the front of the chassis. Once it pops out, you'll need to unhook the left side to remove the bezel. Removing/installing the optical drive's door/bezel is more time consuming. It involves removal of the optical/Zip drive carrier from the interior of the computer, the case's plastic upper handle and lower foot, and then the front bezel. After that's removed, you'll see (4) screws on the outside of the chassis that secure the optical drive door shield to the chassis. Remove them and reach inside to pull the shield away. Back on the outside, you'll see (7) plastic pins that protude slightly through the metal chassis. Push them back inward until they're flush with the chassis (a short wooden 1/4" dia. dowel is good for this). With one hand, push the optical drive door toward the inside of the computer, and grasp it from inside the computer with the other hand. Installation of the replacement is the opposite of this procedure.
By the way, I'd check eBay for the part, as many sellers part out the case components. Although "We Love Macs Money" is selling a new service part, the $35.95 price tag (like all of their pricing) is too much. You can certainly find it for less, such as here at eBay. You might even check any Apple Service providers in your area, to see if one may still have it in stock. While many of the repair shops won't sell parts directly to the customer, a shop having one in inventory may sell it to you, because of its age and the lack of demand for it.

X121e(3051) getting replacement keyboard bezel and base cover assembly

Hello. I recently had a little accident with my ThinkPad and sadly some plastic parts broke out around the screws. So I want to replace those parts. The Machine in itself is unaffected and works flawlessly.
The parts I would need are:
1. Keyboard bezel assembly without fingerprint reader. FRU: 04W1902
2. Base cover assembly. FRU: 04W2230
So my question is as to if it is possible to just get those two parts. And to where best send a request for this as I didn't really find anything fitting on the Lenovo homepage.
I don't want to buy any support or send the machine in as it works without problems and is really more of a cosmetic issue.

Hello Ragassi,
I would suggest you to get the parts from Lenovo authorized service center.
You may contact the detail from support center.

Replaced keyboard bezel, but touchpad not recognized

I have T410, Windows 7, BIOS 1.44 (recently updated) and a few days ago the touchpad buttons stopped working. I could move the cursor with the touchpad but I couldn't select anything by either tapping the touchpad or using any of the buttons. When I would disable the touchpad and selct the option of only using the trackpoint then the trackpoint (upper) buttons were fine (I'd lost the red rubbery thing for the trackpoint a while back so couldn't really stick with that option).
So, I figured I must have messed up the buttons somehow (I suspect liquid or something although I don't remember having spilled anything). I ordered a new keyboard bezel and installed it, but now the computer does not recognize that the touchpad is installed at all. I tried installing new hardware but its not there, reinstalling the drivers but the install wizard says there's no Synaptics device installed. When I press Fn and F8 I get the message that I must enable the trackpoing and touchapd in BIOS. I went into BIOS but under Configure - Keyboard/Mouse there is nothing at all about trackpoint or touchpad (just some fn and cntrl options). (My BIOS is unusually slow when moving between the different categories for some reason too)
I thought maybe the wires that connect the touchpad are the culprit but with the old bezel the touchpad could still move the cursor so I'm thinking it must be something else.
I'm using a wireless mouse without a problem, but having dropped $80 on the new touchpad, I really want to make it functional.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!

So, I got the trackpoint to work now by installing the Synaptics driver from their website. The touchpad is still not working. I'm even more convinced this is not a matter of corrupt BIOS but rather something else because after I installed the new keyboard bezel the trackpoint did not work either and could not be found in BIOS but now works with a new driver.
I still can't install the Ultranav driver because I still get the message No synaptics device found.
Any other ideas on how I can get the driver to recognize that the hardware is installed?

Front bezel replacement on G5 iMac (Non iSight)

I managed to get hold of a replacement front bezel for my Power PC G5 iMac. The original has cracked over time. I'm going to do the replacement myself, and I'm having trouble locating any documentation on how to go about removing the old one. I'd be grateful if someone could point me towards any online resource or step-by-step instructions for this. I've found the instructions for the iSight version, but it appears to bear little relation to the model I have.

Which model/generation G5 iMac do you have? We already know you do not have the iSight version (3rd generation).

If you have not already done so, do your search by model and/or generation.

Replacement DVD drive - broken Mashita drive

Hi,
I have a broken Mashita DVD burner, probably the UJ-845-B (I already removed it), but this one is no longer available. I'm looking for a replacement internal Drive. I've seen people using Pioneer, Sony and other types of Mashita DVD burners, but usually with other iMacs.
I've got some questions:
1. What DVD burners are compatible with my iMac G5.
2. If I install a newer model Mashita will I need to update firmware and where can I get it (or does Apple provide it)
3. Other things I need to take into consideration before buying a new one
Thanks,
Eric

Hi,
Just some info on my own question:
I purchased a NEC/Sony Optiarc AD-7633A. I removed the old Mashita ( "How-To" documentation can be found on Apple's website) and then replaced the bezel (front side where CD/DVD's go in) from the Optiarc with the old one from Mashita. Some simple cutting of little clips is necessary to make things fit well. Place things back and works like a charm.
No updating of Firmware necessary and the Apple immediately recognizes the DVD drive
Good luck for all of you who need to replace their own Superdrive.
Eric

G585 Screen Replacement Issue

Right odd one this - I'm after replaceming the screen on my G585. I took out the old one & pugged the new one in, I mounted in the frame & it was woking so I powered off the laptop and replaced the bezel. When I turned it on after replacing the bezel I get no picture anymore. Ive tried putting the old screen back in but that dosnt work now either. Iv resorted to using an external monitor so at least I know I SHOULD be getting an image on my laptop screen.
The old screeen was a LG LP156WH4 (TL)(N1) - I swapped it for a LP156WH4 (TL)(N2). Would that make any difference? As I said it was woking until I reattached the bezel???

Hi Graham101,
I’m sorry to hear that the Display is not working as expected after replacing it, I suggest you to contact our Technical Support for Assistance to get the details of nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed.

Replacement Power Supply Fan Or Whole She-bang.

A few of you may have seen my posts here recently regarding upgrades. Well, good news is that they are all in and working...fairly well. There are a few hiccups that I will be monitoring in the next week.
Anywho, something that I have determined to be an issue is that the Power Supply Fan is, for a lack of a better term, pulsating. Its running at all times but in a distinct cycle it increases and decreases in volume. One cycle is about 4 seconds I would say. I was chatting with the support people at Sonnet thinking it might be the fans on the Dual 1.8GHz processor I installed, but it wasn't. When I determined it was the power supply fan, he said he had an issue previously and said he installed a replacement fan and its worked fine ever since.
Does anyone know if Apple still offers replacement fans for a Quicksilver 2001? Or where I could buy it elsewhere? I've checked online but only find power supplies.
The power supply brings me to another issue. I have pretty much upgraded this computer to the edge. Its a 340Watt Power Supply (i believe) and I am running 4 internal hard drives, 4PCI cards (two of them are hard drive controllers), a new ATI Radeon 9800 gfx card, and the new processor. All my plugs are in use and I have one of the plugs split off into two plugs for the SATA drives.
I figured the supply was enuff, and the computer is working and doing evertyhing I need it to - well almost, i'm having an issue where Quake 4 crashes itself and the computer from time to time but thats it. But I definitely notice the fan is running louder since upgrading.
Would it be advisable to upgrade the Power Supply? Is that even possible. Online I dont seem many power supplies greater than the one I'm already using.
Thanks in advance to any help posted.

Ok.
I got a wierd problem. I am receiving the grey screen with the folder face icon while intermittenly flashing the "?" that its searching for the system folder.
So, i replaced both Case fan and Power Supply Fan. They are running fine and blowing air well. It turns out that the case fan really was the one that wasn't working well at all. It was dusty. The powersupply fan was dusty and I got rid of all the junk in there. I use the power adapters and they seem to be fine now.
However, after I put everything back together, thats when the problems started.
So, to remind....
I have 2 SATA drives connected to a SATA controller. One of these drives is my start up disk.
I have an 80GB PATA drive in the original drive slot.
I have a 200GB PATA drive connected to a Sonnet Tempo Ultra 133 Hard drive controller.
I plugged all the connections back to their places the way they were before.
Once all the power cables and connectors were in place. I plugged the power cord from the wall socket into the back of the power supply. I pressed start and I got the grey screen immediately, then my 200GB PATA drive began clicking. And then the folder icon showed up. Then the harddrive stopped clicking.
I'm also not able to eject the disc drive.
I force shut the computer down. Unplugged the 200GB drive. Started the computer, and I came to the same grey screen. Still searching for folder. I shut down and unplugged the SATA drives because I still have the old OSX.4.11 system folder on my 80GB drive. Still, grey screen and search folder.
I shut down again and uplugged the 80GB and plugged in the SATA drives. Still searching for folder.
What should I do? I tried booting into Target Disk Mode onto my laptop, but it didn't work.
PLEASE ADVISE!

Can I complain about the Customer Service here?

I just had a very measured conversation with the Service Repair people, but there were a few things that struck me as utterly ridiculous. So if Lenovo is interested in understanding the customer perspective, I thought it would be a good idea to share.
I bought a IdeaPad s10-3 netbook a little under a year ago. I did extensive shopping around to find a machine that was not only a good deal, but that would be more than the piece of crap netbook that my sister has (she has an HP). I liked the s10-3, and despite the Lenovo reputation for bad customer service and questionable quality for their non-Thinkpads, I bought it.
I absolutely loved it for the 9+ months that I had it. It was good to surf the internet and write e-mails, it had an excellent battery life, it was very portable, and it could handle Microsoft Office. Apparently I loved it to much. I took it too many places. Because despite placing it in a memory foam carrying case when I took it around, I found that the cover (basically the screen) was misaligned when I closed it. One of the plastic hinge covers had broke.
The plastic had broken off the bezel and it was no wonder that the stresses was centered on that piece - there wasn't much else holding the hinge in place. Once that plastic was gone other plastic parts started to snap out of place.
"Okay," I thought," this netbook was fairly cheap, I guess eventually the plastics had to fail." I just thought that less than a year was a pretty short lifetime. I remembered that the warranty covered a year, so I sought to find out if it would be covered and how I could get it fixed. I thought about just gluing the piece back to the bezel and snapping everything back in place. But hey, if it was still under warranty, why not get it professionally fixed?
The first time I called the Support Center, the technician couldn't find my warranty because his system was down. He asked me to see if there was another Serial Number, which there wasn't. He told me he would call me back with the system was up again. He did not.
I called again, armed with the necessary information: Serial Number, Model, Type, Product ID, anything that identified my machine. This time, the technician was able to get my information and I explained the problem. I told him I thought the machine was still under warranty and he told me to send it in. I asked if I could just take it into a local Service Center but he said, no, it had to be sent to their center in Texas. He said they would take care of everything, unless they found that it was the product of abnormal use (i.e. I took a hammer to it).
I sent it in (for ~$20). So, done deal, I thought.
Nope, I got a call a week later. Apparently the hinge is not covered by the warranty. Only hardware is covered. So Lenovo doesn't have to replace or repair the cheap, superficial plastic outsides, but just the expensive, important insides. I had thought that this might be a possibility (despite the fact that the technician said that the warranty covered it), but the part I want replaced was plastic, so how expensive could it be?
Apparently, as much as the machine. Seriously. They wanted to charge me $300 to replace the bezel. I asked if it was that expensive because the LCD screen needed to be replaced. Nope, just the plastic parts. As a customer, it's ridiculous to pay that much to replace superficial, cheap parts. So I told them I wouldn't pay and that they should just send the machine back to me.
I also told them to make sure that they send back the plastic hinge so that I could repair it myself (super glue ftw!). The technician on the phone with me couldn't (or wouldn't) guarantee that they would send the hinge back. She kept asking if I sent it with the machine (I did, and I mentioned so in the letter I sent with the machine) and that she didn't know if the technician working on my machine had kept it. I explained why I wanted the hinge back and asked if there was anything that she could do for me if they didn't send it back. She stammered. I understood that she couldn't personally make sure that the hinge would be in the box with my machine. But really, couldn't she do anything to help me?
So instead of simply gluing the piece back and having a working (with less structural integrity) netbook, I'm already out $20, plus the time it took to call the Center and package and ship the machine, and I might not even be able to repair it myself!
I would have been infinitely better off if I had decided to trust Lenovo's Customer Service reputation and fix it myself. Or if I was simply told in the first place "Lenovo's warranty doesn't cover that."
Let's hope that my brand-new ThinkPad t420s never has to get serviced. Or maybe next time I should just get a MacBook.
Case Number WN378375

Well that settled it. I WILL NO LONGER BE BUYING LENOVO. My dad disapproved of me buying Lenovo over (what he perceived as) superior quality American products, and I disagreed - but not anymore. Some of Lenovo's policies are seriously idiotic.
I just got off the phone with their Repair Center/Customer Service line. I asked for his supervisor, since I was sure that the Support Rep. couldn't do anything for me. After a delay, I finally got to explain why I was calling and ask if there is anything that he could do for me. I told him that a customer has a reasonable expectation that sending in a machine should make the situation better, not worse. He kept saying "Unfortunately, we cannot give out free repairs..." But I wasn't asking for a free repair. I just wanted SOMETHING, ANYTHING other than a pat on the back and a "So sorry, pal" kind of attitude from a company that just screwed up. He said that the only "concession" he could give me was for free shipping of the machine. I asked what he meant, since I had already received the machine back. He explained that if I wanted to send the machine back to get it repaired, and pay the repair fee, Lenovo would pay for the shipping.
Seriously.
Lenovo's "concession" was to ship back the machine so I could pay for the service that I didn't want to pay for in the first place.
He couldn't offer me anything else. I asked if they could send me the missing part I meant a replacement part, but he thought I meant the broken piece I had sent in. He went on to explain that any broken pieces are automatically put in the trash as "scrap." Okay, makes sense that broken parts are useless if they're going to be replaced anyways. Except that mine wasn't. And it is reasonable to assume that some customers will be unwilling to pay for the repairs once they are quoted. You don't see car body shops throwing out bent fenders before their owners give the OK to do the repairs. It's just a stupid, stupid policy. And I said as much. I felt a bit bad for the guy listening to me, because he has no power over Lenovo's policies.
He put me on hold and tried to see if he could send me a replacement part. But nope, apparently the bezel is connected to the LCD cover (even though you can see a break in the plastic and my bezel snaps out of place from the cover) and he can't send me that entire set.
I asked if there was anything else he could do for me to placate my anger. You know, usually a company has some sort of policy to make a customer happier when there is a situation that they can't remedy. Like when I was flying Alaska Airlines for a 1hr flight and it was delayed 3+ hrs because there was a problem with the door - their customer service team gave me a $150 voucher. It doesn't take back the 3hrs I spent angry in an airport, but it makes me feel a little bit better about their company and how they value their customers. The poor guy couldn't do any of that for me.
So I just told him, if he ever had the chance to pass along these words to the higher ups, that the "resolution" to my situation was completely unacceptable. That Lenovo's warranty should be more specific that it only covers the electrical hardware, and that I was led to believe that my problem fell under the warranty. But more importantly, Lenovo's policies were not customer-friendly, and that they had lost a customer.
Put simply, Lenovo's customer service should nurture and grow a loyal customer base. It has done the exact opposite on me.
It just seems like Lenovo doesn't care about the ordinary customer.

Macbook Pro - Finish flaking off... and now a problem with AppleCare

Hello,
So basically I am here due to that a year into having my 15" Macbook Pro the finish started flaking off to the left of the trackpad. It has progressively gotten worse and I figured being more of a cosmetic thing there was nothing that I could do about it. So I started researching it last month to find that a lot of people have this problem with the finish coming off the 06/07 Macbook Pro's. Some said that Apple have replaced the bezel around the keyboard or the entire top part of it that the flaking is happening.
So On October 2nd I called AppleCare and spoke to someone and described my problem to them. They said that it would be covered under the AppleCare Warranty and I was extremely happy to hear that. He then explained to me that the Apple Store who replaced a bad hard drive for me once only does things like hard drive replacements and ram replacements. Something as in depth as replacing the cover in question would need someone with more specialized training. With that being said I asked if there are any local places that could take care of it so the shipping in of my laptop and shipping back to me wouldn't be needed (hoping to speed things up a bit) and they said yes and gave me a name, address and phone number of a local computer repair place that is certified to service Apple products under AppleCare.
I think dropped off my Macbook and a week later get a call saying that Apple requested pictures of the flaking finish and then denied the service saying that it was normal wear and tear (even though other people I know with Macbooks that use them far more than I have no problem like I do). I did call and speak to a supervisor at Apple and got nowhere with him, insisting it was just normal wear and tear on the laptop and that his does the same thing.
Now when I dropped off the Macbook I did explain I had contacted Apple who assured me that this would be covered. When they called me saying the service was denied by AppleCare they did state my computer was already apart anticipating parts and the repair would be carried out. Now they are holding me liable for a charge of at least $45 since they normally charge $90/hr.
Basically I am writing this to find out a couple things. First off is the finish on the Macbooks a common problem, and if so have you had it fixed under AppleCare?
Who should pay the money to get my Macbook back? Since Apple first assured me it would be covered (on a recorded line) and then they change their mind.

This is a user forum and for everyone that responds you will only be getting an opinion. Try calling AppleCare and speak to a customer representative about the issue. Be nice but firm. I'm afraid they will have the last word.

My iphone 2g isn't activating

ok, I bought this iPhone 2g (1st gen) for $91, repaired the broken screen, and is replacing the bezel and back housing with a gold housing. I have it upgraded to 3.1.3, but I plug it into iTunes, and all it does is go to the device, tries accessing iTunes, and doesn't do anything. I have activated this iPhone before and last time, it took me 2 days to actually get it working.
Sometimes, it says can not connect to iTunes, but still have internet, and all the time doesn't let me activate. I tried it on my laptop, my desktop, my friends computer, my parents computer, and I tried calling the number for support but I didn't want to pay $30 for service I only need once.
Please help me. This is really frustrating.

If it is not recognized on several computers, did you check the USB cord or the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?

Macbook air hinge repair question please respond!!!!

Hey everyone, I have a question that hopefully someone can answer I've never sent anything into apple repair so don't know if they're a pain. Anyway in 2008 I bought a macbook air off of a guy I knew, he informed me there was a flaw which was the bottom right hand side of the bezel looked like bent a little toward the user, the computer worked fine and I love it! Anyway after like 8 months I opened it up and the left hinge thing cracked and this little piece came off??? I walked into an apple store while travelling without the air and talked to a genius he said its a common defect and they would fix it. I called tech support told. My story including the bezel thing and they said they would fix it.. should I be worried they will get it see the bezel and say well fix the hinge only somehow? What do you guys think? They can't be as liberal as dell who. Will repair anything...I mean I suppose once they get it they'll have to replace the bezel anyway because it seems to go together. The computer and hinge work 100% but. Would be sweet if repaired.. any thoughts? Sry for typing I'm on my mobile. O and I bought the air for 1000 still loving it..

I would suggest sending it in. I believe they will replace everything. They replaced parts on my MacBook once that I didn't think need replacing. Also, about six months ago, one fan went out in my current MacBook Pro. I called Apple on a Friday. Monday morning FedEx brought a box. The gal helped me pack it quick and she took it along back with her right away. Wednesday morning at 9:10AM she was back with it. Apple had replaced BOTH fans in it.

Reverse question Can the W530 chiclet keyboard be installed in a W520

Hello,
I had the opportunity to try out the T530 / W530 chiclet keyboard and really liked it
I have bit of a reverse question
Can a new chiclet type keyboard be installed in a W520 and would the bios have to be changed
for key mapping etc..
Thanks in advance for your help

It won't fit due to a slightly different surrounding bezel. And even if it did fit (or you replaced the bezel which would allow it to fit), then BIOS wouldn't support it anyway - key mapping problems.

CDs and DVDs are literally spit out of my iMac

I don't know if this is normal, but my iMac really spits out the CDs and DVDs when I eject them. It used to stop midway and hold it in place like my Powerbook does.
I already tried repairing permissions and all that. I was going to run down to the Apple store at 5pm today and I just wanted to know if I should even bother going. Because if this is a normal thing for the computer to do, I might as well not even bother.
BTW my warranty expires on May 16th and I don't have the funds to get Apple Care.

So I took my iMac in yesterday and they had to replace the bezel. It was a warranty service, but my 1 year is up today and I hope nothing else happens to it. I don't really have the funds to get applecare (struggling college student), but I also found out my iMac is within the serial numbers of the faulty iMacs and I guess I have another year for any problems that arise from that.

Dv8 and HDX Series OSD Pop Up Solution

Here are two youtube videos of the grounding procedure to prevent the WiFi button from turning off and on and popping up of the volume, bass and treble OSD.
There are parts one and two because youtube will not allow anything longer then 15 minutes.
Before going ahead with this you must remove the battery and adapter and hold the power button down for 60 seconds to dissipate any static in the laptop.
You must also ground your self out as well by touching a metal electrical appliance. You don't want to shuffle across a wool rug and zap your laptop with the static that you have built up in yourself.

Here is the HP firmware update the may correct the problem and this should be tried first.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Update :
   A poster used simple black tape to insulate the bare terminals on the LIF connector and this works well as the aluminum tape will hold it in place. He also used the aluminum tape to hold the folded over tabs in place rather then the kapton tape. This also works well and looks cleaner as it was reported.
In the videos it shows the tabs are around 3/16 of an inch, it would be beneficial to make them 1/4 of an inch or even larger.
Thanks to bjoebalance.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Another update : it has been reported that placing small sections of fridge magnets have cured the problem.
See this post on page 255. The magnets with the paper backing are placed in the center just above the bezel on the speaker grill. Some have also placed them around the WiFi button itself or in both locations.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So the bezels do fail _ mine did _ know matter what I did I could not get the WiFi to stop turning itself off and on.
In may case the solution was to replace the bezel with a new one _ not a used one.
Everything is fine now, but I will be applying my fix anyway.
If it had to happen to someone better me then anyone else.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you want to disconnect the bezel, it's best to remove the cable entirely. You don't want this to happen _ see post 58.

As far as the actual slide action taking two or three slides, this is normal and on mine it takes two if I start just outside the bars.
I like to hold my finger either on the plus or minus sign, I find it works better that way.
You may also try and uninstalling your "quick launch" software, it may improve the OSD action. At present I am running a retail version of W7 and the volume, bass and treble OSD do not depend upon the quick launch software to make it work.
The volume OSD is in the Media Smart Smart Menu, the mute light is in the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and the bass & treble has it's own program.
I am glad you like the videos, my little camera's resolution is not that great even at the highest setting, but I think I get the procedure across despite that.

Does this system even have a search function? Also, is there a way to not show account name?

Ugh, I just downloaded this yesterday, so I'm only really starting to try it out today and wow, did they want to copy off of microsoft or something with the search function? First they get rid of "by file name" for the search, and then search itself doesn't even work! Or at least, it doesn't show the files as it finds them.
The problem is, am I doing something wrong? Or is search just incredibly slow?
And my second question is, is there any way to get rid of your name in the top right corner? That is really creepy, you should not have to have your name there. Is there any way to hide it or should anyone just be able to tell who you are because you don't want to change your account name?
