Screen is fried? help

I have an older Powerbook G4. Not sure about whether it is the Titanium or not. It is the older version where the hinges had problems. I bought it used - and it was jimmy rigged to work. Worked great until it fell! Soooooo, now I tried to reuse it and the wire connection fried. Burned wire smell. I know that it is probably not worth fixing but would like to somehow connect it to a monitor to at least use until I can afford to get something else.
I tried to hook it up to a PC screen I happen to have sitting around and it seemed to work - but on the PC screen it is just a blue screen and the arrow is functional, but nothing else shows up - no desktop file folders, etc. I can move the mouse arrow around - but have nothing to click on. Any suggestions on how to make this work? I read about the possiblity of mirroring whats on the computer screen to another monitor, tried the F8 key suggested but that did nothting. I would love to be able to explain more about the actual specs on the computer, but I cant access it. I could try to search for the original paperwork if need be. Goes to show you how dependent we are on these machines!
Please, can anyone tell me if I need special cables? Would a PC Screen even work, or should I purchase a cheap mac monitor on ebay? Any suggestions on monitors, Ive seen postings for LCD monitors for 100 bucks, would this even work for my computer? Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!

Transferring data to another Mac is a simple matter of Target Disk Mode:

Much faster than ethernet.
Note if the machine is hasn't had the clock battery replaced, this method may not work, unless you replace the $150 internal clock battery using one of the above repair places. This is separate from the battery you can see in the underbelly of the machine.
For $80 some places will simply extract the hard drive, and you can put it in a $60 2.5" Parallel ATA to Firewire case

Can a screen get fried from sitting on the charger too long

My screen looks fried on the bottom and the screens is app icons are vibrating. i believe it was left on the charger too long, could it have fried? is it fixable?

Did you already try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? If this does not help, try to restore "as new ipod". Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

Getting values from screen to search help exit

Hi Experts,
I have created a search help in which I am not using selection method but search help exit. Dialog type is 'Dialog with value restriction'. My requirement is to get the values entered in restriction screen into search help exit. Please suggest a parameter which will hold this value in search help exit function module.

Hi M,
As you know there are 5 steps in search help exit. For each step, the values in parameter of your search help exit is different.
For your requirement, you need process in step 'DISP', and get the selection value from 'SHLP-SELOPT'.
Example:
*Build range for customer number
LOOP AT shlp-selopt INTO ls_selopt WHERE shlpfield = 'KUNNR'.
lr_kunnr-sign = ls_selopt-sign.
lr_kunnr-option = ls_selopt-option.
lr_kunnr-low = ls_selopt-low.
lr_kunnr-high = ls_selopt-high.
APPEND lr_kunnr.
CLEAR: lr_kunnr.
ENDLOOP.
Then using the lr_kunnr range in your select statement.
regards,
Archer

A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Selection screen as Subscreen help required

Hello All,
I am facing a problem by calling selection screen as subscreen, Here is my problem
In my main screen i have create a sub screen as search help
so in my sub-screen i have select-options
If i click the button to include and exclude some values i don't see the dailog box for selections is not appearing.
Please provide help. I need to allow the user to enter some n values?
Regards,
Lisa

Hi,
There is a small mistake that you are doing..
In the subscreen donot create the select options... What you need to do is... in the TOP Include write lines like..
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 1010 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_proj FOR zimple_crmt_1000-title_part.
SELECT-OPTIONS s_cr FOR crmd_orderadm_h-object_id.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 1010 .
Then.. in the screen where you have subscreen to be included write
PBO
CALL SUBSCREEN subs_1010 INCLUDING sy-repid '1010'.
PAI
CALL SUBSCREEN subs_1010.
By doing this... the select option will appear on your subscreen with the extension and interval options.
All the best.

My ipad 1 isnt working it is just showing the apple logo on the screen can anyone help me?

my ipad 1 isnt working it is just showing the apple logo on the screen can anyone help me?
If you can help me facetime me at [email protected] or msg me.

It would help to know whether it ever did work, or is this a new iPad for you? If new, you need to connect it to a Mac/PC that's running iTunes in order to register and initialize it. If it used to work, try doing a reset.

AT selection-screen on ON HELP-REQUEST

Hi
What is normally done in the Selection Screen event :
AT selection-screen on ON HELP-REQUEST.
Normally pressing F1 helps gives Documentation present in Data Element assoicated with the field. Exactly in what cases would we be needing to use this event.

Hi,
That event is used for search.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
call function 'F4_FILENAME'
       exporting
            field_name = 'p_file'
       importing
            file_name = p_file.
If you code in the same manner in the selection screen you will able to search and select a file from your work station, so that it will be uploaded in SAP.
I hope this will help you, if not plzzz be back.
CHEERS
If your problem is solved award points and close the thread.

You can use standard search help 'BUPA'.

2. Goto 'Program' tab, for 'Poss. Entries Key' property select 2 or 3 from its DropDowm List values.
Try this.

Have you tried booting with the install disc that came with your computer?
Find it and then run Disk Utility to verify your hard drive. If errors are found, try to repair the disk.
It sounds as if the hard drive might be failing.
