Screen never brightens to white on newly purchased T500 refurb

I've recently received a decent refurb that seems to be in excellent working order except the LCD won't brighten to 100%. I have my old T500 to compare it to and it appears the newly refurb will only brighten to about 60-70%.
I've read a post that mentioned 2 fuses being out on the board causing almost complete dimming. Is there a way to run diagnostic on the board to determine if it is the fuse?
I have the old laptop and could take the LCD from the old and install it in the new. Does it sound like something that would be a problem with with the LCD?
I have a few days left on the return policy and am trying to discern if I need to take advantage of it or not.
Thank you for your time and any ideas you may have.

In my opinion, it sounds like one of two things have happened:
1.I have just checked on my nano, and it is possible to turn off the backlight. Go somewhere where you can read the darkened screen, if possible. Go to the main menu>Settings>General>Backlight. From there you can select an option.
2. If the first solution fails, your ipod is probably deffective, but if it was a holiday present it should still be under warranty.
-Good Luck.

Battery doesn't charge on my newly purchased t500

when i discover my new t500 is completely out of battery the first time, i immediately plugged it in to charge. i notice it doesn't charge, if i doble click power management it recognizes the battery but it doens't chaqrge no matter what i do with the setting. (it was at )%
what i did was take out the battery and then put it back in, and it works. i thought maybe it's new, so it's in the break in period. it happened again today, it wouldn't charge. i had to pull the battery and put it back in in order to get get it to charge. is this a hardware problem? i would like to exchange it since i am still under the initial 30 days period. please advise, and thank you.

You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

Can't get newly purchased macbook pro to turn on - only a blinking folder with ? shows up on gray screen - help

How do I get a newly purchased Macbook Pro to turn on - all I get is a blinking folder with "?" on a gray screen?

Take it back where it was purchased. Include all packaging and take your dated receipt. You can request an exchange or your money back within the first 14 days from date of purchase. Don't delay.

Your cracked screen is considered customer abuse and it will not get replaced by Verizon. You will have to file an insurance claim.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:

Lost newly purchased Iphone5, Reported complain in police station but not getting proper responce. Can apple help me out for this?

Lost newly purchased Iphone5, Reported complain in police station but not getting proper responce. Can apple help me out for this?

Oh, don't worry. I know exactly. I'm a retired law enforcement officer after 30 years. I didn't mean for them to allow you to use the Internet, I meant for them to assign an officer to try and track the device for the victim. Again, that would require the victim to provide their Apple ID and password, which most would not want to provide.
Pinging the phone as you mention is only when there is probable cause and that is done through the carrier.
I'm glad to see someone also understand that a stolen cell phone is not as important to law enforcement as it is to the victim. It is unfortunate as smartphones get more expensive. Hopefully as iOS 7 makes it debut later this year, the work Apple has done will have some impact on smartphone theft. Other manufactures and carriers are starting to improve here in the states. It never was something carriers worryed about with blacklisting. This is where they were a step ahead in Europe.

Has this ever happened to you? My ipod screen in flashing a white but not a solid white but its getting pretty bad now any help?

Screen will flash a white screen i can still use my ipod but the screen flashes. Before it was just a little bit but now its getting ot be all the time any one know how to fix it or a solution?

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Issue deleting websites on newly purchased Ipad 4

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased an iPad 4. While browsing the web using Safari, I noticed that the Newegg website was showing as a website recently visited. It had a web address link to it.. The odd thing was, I had never visited the website from the iPad. It also had a link to a part of the website that I had viewed on my iPhone for a specific product. However, this was days before I had even turned on the iPad (wasn't sure if it somehow linked up). I have already cleared the Internet history and cookies under the settings for Safari. However, this has not worked at removing the website. Has anyone ever had this issue on a newly purchased iPad? I just find it very strange that I cannot delete the Newegg website links. I find it even stranger that it has these links to Newegg when I have never visited the website on the iPad. Any thoughts? Please let me know if any additional information is required. Part of my concern is that I could be using a used Apple iPad or that it could be hacked, even though I purchased it from Best Buy. Thanks for all your help!

It might be sharing a web history with your other Safari browsing devices (MacBook/iPhone/iPod) and if it is, you may be viewing a page that you originally pulled up on lets say your iPhone. If you did, you cannot delete a iPhone browsed page with an iPad connected to the same account. You would need to pull up the browser history on your iPhone and delete the selected pages. Not sure if this will even help, but I figured it's worth a whirl

Legitimate newly purchased Premiere Elements-10 32-bit install files not available

Friends:
I purchased an $1100 Nikon camera and the deal included OEM PS Premiere Elements 10.
Legit purchase with a CD and legit Serial #.
Can't install because what is Adobe's fault, not the camera vendor's and certainly not mine.
Adobe's own published notice:
"The 64-bit version of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 only installs on Windows 7 64 bit. If you have Windows XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit, it's necessary to install the 32-bit version. Because the Adobe Download Assistant automatically downloads the 64-bit version in error, it's necessary to download the 32-bit version manually through alternate means."
The problem is that the same holds true for installing on XP Pro SP3 and Adobe makes no mention of it in the above admission.
Then, Adobe's own Solutions 1, 2 & 3 for manual download all fail, even after fussing for days over it.
Even Solution 3, the last ditch option, fails perhaps because Elements 11 is out and Adobe has killed the 10 download Ftp sites.
Files I am unable to download from Adobe (without entrapment by so called Free Dowload sites) are:
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.exe
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/10/win32/PremiereElements_10_LS15_win32.7z
How can I solve my dilemma, being denied my right to learn Elements from a legally purchased 10 and being
forced to purchase 11 instead on top it. Fair?
I am requesting Adobe politely to make it possible to download the Adobe recommended two files withou hassles.
I must mention in this context my own (and thousands of others') sad experience with Flash updates. Just follow
my own (and others') posts in Adobe forums. Plus, just read the Internet posts along these lines:
"It's impossible to download anything from Adobe. I have given up and I have given up on Adobe products."
Not that I want to, but I am forced into echoing the same sentiment.
Can anyone help, please ?
Thanks,
Pradip A.

Hello Mr. Wright:
The download now works. Appreciate your help.
The ...7z file is 1.37 Gb long. I have super high speed Fibre Optic Internet connection with Bell. I rarely have the ocassion to download files of this size. After downloading more than 1 Gb, the transfer hung - either at the Client end, or at the Server end. Bell is sending tech Thursday to mitigate some line noise they detected. Hopefully, the stars will fall into the right place before long.

Pradip Acharya

Black screen with a thick white vertical line down the middle?

I turned my iPod touch 5 off, it was at about 10%. I turned it back on a few minutes later and there was the apple logo, as usual, but with small white writing on the black background. Then, I plugged it into my charger, and the logo and writing faded away. Instead, there then was a black screen with a thick white vertical line going down the middle, and it seems to be stuck like that. What happened and how do I fix it??
Note: My home button is stuck and does not work. Also, I never updated my iPod to iOS 7.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode,
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it.

Hi,
My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it, i have no idea why, its like its inside the screen, its never been dropped or had anything fall on it and the mark is starting to get bigger. Has anyone else had the same problem? i've inserted a pic of it, hopefully you can make it out.
Thank You

I see a multitude of white marks on your display. Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians examine the MBP. Hardware problems such as this cannot be solved via these forums.
Ciao.

Hiya.

Loss my ipad passcode and had never sync it whit my new computer, how can I restart it?

I just updated my Ipad, I don't know why a pass code got in it, I never sync it whit my new macbook, so I can't open the ipad, don't know the passcode and can't do a restart with the computer.

At the very end of the article about how to restore if you forgot the passcode, it talks about using recovery mode. Give it a try.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly. It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
