Screen 'casing' moves and clicks

Hi, my 2 year old Powerbook G4 15" has developed some movement between the part that is the hinge and the actual screen casing at the right angle where they join. Also, at the actual hinge point where the screen meets and pivots at the case, only on the right hand side, it clicks quite loudly and moves about 5mm up and down when i changve the angleof the screen. (sorry if the description is a bit off)
Any one else had this problem or know how i can fix this, by tightening some screw or other or do i need to take it to a store? I live in a fairly out of the way ski resort so im hoping this isnt the solution.
Thanks

I just acquired this "new" 15-inch PowerBook that I'm typing from, on eBay, and in searching this forum, I found this thread which addresses my issue. Is it the same as yours?:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=772880
I'm normally on the 12-inch PowerBook forum, but have migrated over here for help (I'm usually the one giving it) to find out things about my "new" notebook. Though I still have my ultra-portable, the 12-inch one.

  • Black screen, audio plays and clicks register

    Laptop: Toshiba Portege R705-P41

    Also, I followed the instructions on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337 to attempt to disable hardware acceleration, but guess what: the flash applets on that page are also black. So, when I right click them and click "Settings", nothing shows up.
    Youtube works fine though. It's the only website that does.

    What browser are you using?  If it's IE, can you try to disable hardware acceleration within the browser?

  • Automator Help With Mouse Movement and Click

    Hi all, thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    I'm trying to use Automator to go into my Volume Purchasing Program purchase history (in Chrome) and download each redemption code spreadsheet. I will need the automator script to scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'More Purchases', wait for the page to load, and repeat that many many times. (I have a lot of purchases on my account.) Then I would like to write a second script that I will run after all of the purchases are shown that will click 'Download Codes' for each line. I've done this by hand for over 2 hours now and still have a long ways to go. Figured Automator could help me out.
    Any tips on how to accomplish this? I've tried recording my actions but when I play it back, it won't even switch to Chrome.

    I have not found automator to be very good at doing this kind of thing.
    It is theoretically possible to have applescripts imbedded in Automator that will choose from a dropdown menu, but I have also not found that to be too reliable.

  • Need example vi for simulating mouse movements and clicks

    I need an example vi that allows me to set the cursor position and simulate mouse left and right clicks, including double clicks. The examples in the development library work up to LabVIEW version 6, but not for version 7, because no block diagrams were included. Thanks.

    Hello �
    Take a look at this example program at NI Developer Zone. It will allow you set the position of the mouse cursor.
    Hope this helps!

  • Trying to take screens from movie and make them jpegs

    Each time I export a freeze frame to jpeg the aspect ratio of 16:9 is not preserved. Does anyone know how to export a frame in video to picture without it getting all stretched and such?

    This has everything to do with the anamorphic pixels in 16:9 format video.
    Once you have exported the still from FCP, open up the image in Photoshop and resize it to a true 16:9
    For example, if you export a 1080i HDV image it will be 1440 or something like that pixels wide. Resize it to 1920 x 1080.
    good luck.

  • Capture border, mouse movements and screen area showing incorrectly

    I'm using Captivate4 on Win7 Pro 32bit to record a web demonstration on IE8. Setting the capture area only records a portion of the selected area, and portions outside (and including) the red boundary line. Mouse movements and clicks are also off. I've disabled hardware acceleration and tried a few different screen resolutions.
    This occurs in every recording mode and in every capture arrangement - application, predefined, or custom size. Full screen recording captures the correct area, but the slides are very large and cursor actions are still off. The border disappears when Hide is checked, but the area captured is still completely different from the area selected.
    I've included screenshots of both the capture area selected and the actual area recorded.
    If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it - thanks in advance!
    Area selected for recording:
    Area captured during recording - cursor out of place, overlap on the left, missing area on right and bottom:

    Change your computer screen resolution to match what you set in Captivate, and you will capture everything.
    I had to change mine from 1920x1080 (on a 13" laptop) to 1280x720 which is the maximum in Captivate. As soon as I did that, the entire screen was captured as intended.

    I am working in photshop elements 13 organizer, album view, and would like to resequence (rearrange) the photos shown in the album but am unable to do so.  My understanding is that you can click on the phots that you want to move and drag it to a new location within the same album.  After i select the photo that I want to move and click on the photo, I get a cirlcle with a diagonal throught it and am unable to drag the photo to its new location.  What am I doing wrong?  I know this should be a simple thing to do.  Thanks

    Jimmy RG
    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • I have purchased a movie and it has downloaded.   Next, I get a screen the says Terms and Conditions. It says to click Agree but I. Can not find Agree anywhere in the document.  how do I move forward and access the movie?

    I have purchased a movie and downloaded it. Next I get a screen that says Terms and Conditions and tells me to read and click on Agree. I cannot find the Agree anywhere in the document.  How do I move on and view the movie?

    Go to Settings>General>Usage. How much space does it show you have?
    If you connect your phone to your computer, what does iTunes say is on your phone? Do you see a large amount of "Other"? If so, you may have a corrupted database. You'll need to sync your phone then restore it as NEW (not from back up) then re-sync your data).

  • TS3623 purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working.  I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available.  I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).
