Rubber seal on PlayBook

The rubber seal next to the right hand speaker on my PlayBook is coming away. Any suggestions how to fix it as there is no BB support here in the UK, only a Canadian phone number at customer services.

I have been told by RIM that it is not covered under warranty. I am in Canada and had very bad customer service experience.

Spectre 13" 3004TU Ultrabook F4A28PA Display rubber seal leaking fluid at bottom of screen

I have a Spectre Ultrabook 13" for which I paid a pretty penny - top of the line specs (i7, 8gb ram, 256 GB SSD etc).
Naturally, having spent so much I have treated it with kid gloves - however, I have noticed small amounts of a clear, oily residue appearing on the screen below the rubber display seal at the lower left and right hand side of the screen. It sits on the glass bezel and smears when touched. It also transfers to the laptop metal opposite the screen when closed, appearing again, as an oily clear fluid. I have not had any luck discussing this with HP reps (in India, presumably - I might as well be speaking Swahili, for all the help they have been).
My initial thoughts are that it may be a solvent which may have been used to attach the rubber seal to the display? is it the rubber breaking down? I have been advised there is no oil-type dampening fluid used in the hinge, so I'm at a loss. Of course, HP, ever helpful have already advised that although the laptop is still under warranty, I will possibly be liable for any costs. Wonderful!
Have been asked to call the HP 'Service Centre' in Brisbane, Australia for advice and to book it in. Naturally again, this service has been outsourced to a provider called 'AWA', and so far, after being on hold for over an hour, I'm still waiting to get through.
This will be the last HP product I ever buy, and no, I won't be recommending their products - on the contrary, I'll be sure to advise everone I can that if this is the standard of after-sales service, steer clear!

Photosmart 5520 Ink Cartridge rubber seals

Hi,
I have just openied the lid on on my HP Photosmart 5520 to replace the inks. I noticed that the rubber seal which surrounds the ink inlet nozel is missing from 2 of the colour cradles. They are easily removed and I can see that they are linkely to stick to the cartridge when they are removed and therefore easily thrown away. Are they important and will the printer operate without them? Where can I get new ones?

Hi Dave, could you please take a photo of this and post it here to the Forum?

IPad 1 - rubber seal coming out

Having a rather serious problem with my iPad 1 - the aluminum frame seems to have gotten 'bent' in such a way that the glass is now pressed tightly against two corners and loosely against the other two - and at the bottom left corner the rubber seal itself has started to come out. I can even stick my thumbnail under it. On the opposite (top right) it's not quite so bad, but I can see the seal starting to twist. The complication to all this is that there are a myriad of stratches and even two slight dents in the back. Probably not 'perfect care', eh?
Do you think this should warrant a visit to the Apple Store? Would this be under warranty? (1-year through September 2011)
Thanks in advance,
Liam

Okay. One thing I assume you meant the Genius bar, or is there another level I haven't heard of.
If they replace it that would be great. I don't think even they could 'repair' it, seeing as the aluminum itself is bent. :/ Otherwise, looks like I'm out of luck. Use it until it actually craps out, then iPad 2 here I come...

No security seal on Playbook from Shop Blackberry

My Playbook 16GB arrived from Shopblackberry.com and it didn't have any seal whatsoever on the box. I expected to see at least the 2 clear plastic rectangular seals on the sides of the box but they weren't there.
I paid for a brand new unit and I fear that the Playbook I got might be a return or a refurb.
Did anyone else get theirs this way?

Contact support. See when you enter the serial number to see if you qualify for the 90 days support.

Gap between display rubber seal and case

A few days ago I got my MBP 13" shipped. (mid 2010 version)
Soon after unpacking I spotted a little gap between the black rubber line and the aluminum frame on top of the screen. The gap is approx. 0,3mm wide in the middle and covers 2/3 of the top of the screen's top. The other borders and the corners are fine; not even the slightest gap between rubber and frame.
Here's a picture of it: (You can see dust that already got into the gap on the right side)

Is this something to worry about? Does it affect the hold of the display or would dust be able to get behind the glass?
If not, I'm perfectly fine with it. I really love my MacBook just how it is. I'm only concerned about possible risks. The MacBook has to endure some years now after all

I visited an ASP today. They said it's nothing to worry about

Where can I order replacement microUSB seals for my C751 Ravine?

The rubber seal for the microUSB cover on my C751 Ravine has broken. I have checked Amazon and eBay for replacement seals as well as asked the reps at the Verizon store about ordering replacement seals and can't find them anywhere. Also tried matching the part up at hardware stores and industrial parts suppliers but to no avail. Does anybody sell replacement parts for this phone other than the battery and battery cover? I can't be the only person to have that seal wear out and break.

This is certainly not an easy question mark20456! I see that you have searched in many places! I would recommend contacting the manufacturer next. You can contact Casio at 866-409-4394, or online at http://www.casio.com/home/

Waterproof Seals dont stay closed

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else is having simular issues with the waterproof seals not staying closed. My phone is 4 months old and the waterproof seal that covers the charger unit wont stay closed, when I close it, it will pop open again after about 30 seconds, the seal doesnt seem to be broken but I am worried that this renders the phone unwaterproof. I have a flip case on my phone (genuine Sony case) and havent dropped the phone at all. There is no damage and it is in excellent condition. Has anyone or is anyone having the same issues and is anyone able to offer assistance on this issue.
Handset: Sony Xperia Z2
Thanks,
Gareth

My flaps don't come out, I used some for car silicon fluid which I use before winter on doors and rubber seals. I noticed they'll pop up when get dry and so far no problem for mine device. A colleague has a later Z2 and his flaps do open all the time in fact he bought new flaps from sony store for change but it didn't solve the problem, it must be something with hole shape that pushes the flaps out. My first Z2 was badly formed and my flaps didn't hide out from the box, the device was exchanged for a new one right away saying something like "the phone couldn't be repaired due to manufacturing fault. The device was exchanged for a new, issue-free example."

Seal Between Glass And Chrome Is Peeling Back...

I noticed this morning as I was keeping my iPhone nice and shiny with the provided cleaning cloth that the rubber seal between the glass and the chrome accent is slightly starting to peel back on the bottom left corner...
It's only minor right now but if you gently run your finger over the imperfection the rubber shifts out of place every time...It's an issue that I think will only worsen with time I'm sure...Not to mention the imperfection is aesthetically unpleasing now that I've noticed it...
Is this something that the Apple Store would be willing to fix/replace under warranty and has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!

Outfitting your phone with a case should not be a solution. As much as I respect peoples decision to use a case; iphone, ipod, I find it funny to hear them talk about how beautiful the ipod is yet their player looks like <edited by host>. I mean, you don't see BMW drivers driving around with car covers, do you? You lose the aesthetic beauty of the product. Just a personal observation. Peace.

New iPod Touch with grayed-out "No Wi-Fi" text in Settings

Just got a 16GB iPod Touch as a refurb. from Apple Store. I install iTunes, hook it up to my computer, follow all the instructions, and then after it's charged, disconnect it to begin using it.
First thing I do: try to set up the wi-fi. Only problem: I go into Settings and at the top, where it says "Wi-Fi" it is grayed out, and says "No Wi-Fi" next to it. In the About section, it says "N/A" for MAC address.
I have turned the unit off and on, performed a soft reset, a full restore through iTunes, and even paid the $4.95 to upgrade the OS to 3.1.2, thinking that version 2.x might be the problem.
Still... no Wi-Fi. According to Apple's site, refurbs are supposed to be fully tested and brought back up to factory spec before being shipped out. What hhappened to THIS unit? How'd it make it from China to my porch without anyone at Apple ever turning it on to see if the wireless chip in it even works?
Now I've got to go through the hassle and delay of exchanging it and waiting for the replacement to come in the mail from half a world away. Here's an idea, Apple... sell refurbished stuff that works with the guarantee that if it doesn't work or if it's defective, the customer is guaranteed a brand new unit as a replacement. Maybe that will light the fire under the techs to make sure they don't send out broken equipment as "Apple Certified."

I completed the instructions in the linked knowledge base article. It did not fix the problem. Apple has agreed to replace the unit after I ship it back to them. I will now have to wait another week before another refurbished unit arrives from half-way around the world...
I think my problem with this whole thing is that Apple specifically touts the fact that refurbished units sold through their online store are extensively tested and will work like a brand new unit. Obviously nobody even turned this unit on and went to the basic "About" screen in Settings to see if wireless was working. They would have caught the problem right away.
This is a check that should have taken 5 seconds for a technician to perform and would have saved me the disappointment of having the first iPod I've ever owned be a lemon... and saved me another week of waiting for a gizmo that I had expected to be using already. Don't sell Apple Certified refurbished stuff unless you're going to actually turn it on and make sure it works!
My other complaint... the rubber seal between screen and metal case is bulging out at two corners. It looks shoddy and cheap. I don't know who worked on this particular unit, or if this is par for the course with Apple. If the next one looks shoddy too, or has any problems, it will be my last time trying to get an Apple iPod. I got refurbished since I don't have much money - and I just can't justify spending the amount they charge for a new one. One more try Apple...

Online conference participants hear echo when cinema display is connected via mini-displayport, even though I am using headphones with mic.

When I use Google Hangout or GoToMeeting, other participants in the meeting hear an echo of their sound -- loud and obtrusive. When I mute, it goes away.
This only happens when I am using my Apple Cinema Display 27" (recent vintage) connected via the mini-displayport (natively, not an adapter).
On my end, i don't hear their echo, but I do hear waves of squelching -- basically it sounds like their end is trying to adjust their input down to account for what it thinks I saying, even though I'm not talking, it's just the echo making that happen.
Sometimes this doesn't occur -- it seems to crop up intermittently, but happens around 75% of the time at some point in a conversation.
I am using iPhone-compatible in-ear earphones with built-in mic; the earphones are the rubber seal type, so there's no sound escaping them that the system should even be able to hear.
I have my audio set up for "Headphones" as output device.
Input device is set up as "External Microphone" -- this part confuses me because even though I know my Cinema Display has a microphone, the OS seems not to list it as a separate input device. So I wonder if it's getting confused trying to use both the cinema display's mic *and* the earphone mic? (see dropdown image)
OS version 10.20.2; Macbook Air 13 inch, "early 2014" and Apple LED Cinema Display 27inch
Earphones are skull-candy brand iPhone compatible (with built-in mic), plugged into the macbook air's earphone jack. (without the display connected, this has always worked fine -- and with a prior non-apple display that had no mic/camera this was not a problem)
This is an ongoing issue in our office, in fact ... especially troublesome in client meetings.
I haven't tried other configurations, other than when using the Cinema Display's USB connector, the same thing happens.
It also happens even when I'm not using the "USB PnP Sound Device" you see listed in the dropdown here -- that's something I use for controlling music output to my desk speakers.
A general question: is there no way to control the cinema display's mic and/or camera more directly?
(EDITED TO ADD: Ok I see in the Cinema Display manual, there should be a listing for "Display Audio" in the input list, but my SysPref panel has none listed. See other screenshot. I wonder if this is the problem??)

Curious, is the 30-inch Cinema Display you have, one listed in this Support Article:
•Apple Cinema Display (20-, 23-, and 30-inch DVI) - Technical Specifications
or is yours a later build series; which one do you have...? This says Mini unsupported.
The specifications vary across the line of Displays, as do the graphic support in Macs.
I'd suspect your version is a later 30-inch display, but it may be one of these. And a
newer 27-inch Display has the Thunderbolt cable.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Spilled milk on my MacBook Pro, what now?

I put my milk down and it spilled on the closed lid on my computer (non retina 13 inch) I of course freaked out and rushed my computer upstairs leaving my family to fend for the safety of the couch. I cleaned it off immediately and opened the lid, some milk by the rubber seal but none on the keyboard, thank god (even though I'm atheist so that's saying something) and cleaned that too, that's when I remembered the milk spilled on the side with the vent. THE ONE VENT ON THE COMPUTER!!! of course before I was glad that apple doesn't festoon it's computers with vents like most pcs, but just my luck the one vent gets milked. I'm pretty sure not much milk got in the vent, because none cam gushing out but I cleaned it as best I could and opened it waking it from windows sleep (I was in boot camp) not problems there, so I shut down and booted into Mac, (this is before I read tons of articles saying not to turn on after a liquid spill) and the screen loaded but there were these wired purple and yellow tints and weirdnesses all over the screen so I held the power button until it shut down. I immediately left it with the lid open and it has been that way for the past 2.5 hours. Keep in mind I am not loaded so I don't have money to shell out for another Mac. It's 3 years old and I intend for another three years. This is my first mac coming from an ancient toshiba, and I desperately do not want to have to go back if it is broken, so any advice would be much appreciated, do you think it will be ok?

nobody here knows if it "will be ok", even though I used to fix laptops, even I dont know,.....nobody can tell anything thru the Internet on diagnosis.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

How to get rid of bugs in MBP?

Greetings all,
My daughter's boyfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro with a bug (yes, real insects) infestation. They live in a tropical climate and the insects are more adaptable than they are in, like, California. Anyway, the insects have gotten to the point where they actually prevented the machine from starting up. The boyfriend took the machine to his local Apple store where they were able to get the machine to boot up but they refused to do anything else with the machine (ie. get rid of the bugs) because they were afraid that the bugs would get loose and infect the other machines in the store.
Obviously, we're looking for a solution. So far, I have double bagged the machine with a No Pest strip. I opened the bag yesterday and found one or two bugs kinda flailing around in there but not much else.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Peter

those two links were hardly advice from Dstore...., they were a comedy bit about bed bugs.
The OP here is likely talking about tiny ants, ..living in the tropics same as the OP comment, thats most likely what shes referring to.
Also Dstore in that thread claims:
They are attracted to heat and CO2, the MBP makes a nice cozy nest..
When in fact the ants / bugs are attracted to the EM of the low voltage DC running accross the logic board the critters are attracted to.
No one is yet ready to offer a theory. But biologist Dr. William P. MacKay of the University of Texas at El Paso and entomologist Professor S. Bradleigh Vinson of Texas A&M have succeeded in eliminating a number of possible factors.
They have found fire ant behavior does not correlate with a-c frequencies, or with the presence of ozone, electromagnetic or magnetic fields. Nor is the type of insulation used on wiring a factor. In tests up to 140V a-c and 350V d-c, both attracted almost the same number of ants at the same voltage and distance. However, they did find that when electricity was turned off, ants attracted to d-c power dispersed more rapidly than those who had been experiencing the nirvana of an a-c source.
While the Texas researchers still don’t understand the reasons why the ants have a fatal attraction to electric fields, they have been able to devise successful control techniques. Based on their studies, they recommend using terminal cap protectors to prevent bridging, and denying entrance to the insects by enclosing mechanical relays in metal or plastic cases and sealing them, as well as all entrances to padmounted equipment, with epoxy cement. In laboratory tests, silicone rubber sealants and roofing cement proved ineffective.
