Selecting "Engl​ish" w/ Broken Screen

So, I have followed a solution on the forum to flash update my Pre to the latest OS using the WebOsDoctor tool on the palm site. The tool I used is supposed to keep my USB drive data in-tact and I would like to retrieve the data....however, when my pre reboots it is on a blue screen with the workds English/Spanish. The Orange/Sym/U key does not seem to work until I have selected a language, and since my screen is broken, I cannot tap a language.
Is there a way to move past this screen at activate the USB drive?
Thank You,
Jeff

Please be careful with pronouns - it's not entirely clear in your first paragraph which buttons you are referring to in which cases.  Is the problem that you sometimes accidentally hit the poweroff button?  And to deal with this you'd like to make that button trigger oblogout rather than immediately shutting off?
If that's the case, you can edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf to uncomment the line for handling the powerswitch and change the action there (see wiki).  You can't bind oblogout there, but you can make it so the power switch is ignored.  Then if you also want to bind it to oblogout, you should then be able to do so in openbox's rc.xml.
Thank you. That was my problem. It's working the way I want it to now. I'll be more careful in the future about how I layout my questions. I admit, I haven't used Arch Linux in over 3 years so I'm a bit rusty right now. Thank you so much. You have no idea how many times I've almost thrown my laptop against the wall over the last few days

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

  • Ipad 2 Broken Screen

    I have two ipad2's both with broken screens. Only the glass is broken and I have so far there has been no issue with the software. I am wondering what apple does with ipad such as mine, the cost and what I get. I am also wondering if they offer something where they buy the ipad off me and use it for parts, etc. Any answers would be much appreciated.
    Thanks Malory22

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. See the Repair Pricing section here, selecting the country as appropriate:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.

  • Nokia 6111 Broken Screen - Turn on Bluetooth

    Hi,
    I am yet another person with a Nokia 6111 with a broken screen. I have read through multiple foums and found lots of people asking the same question:
    What key strokes do I need to turn on Bluetooth?
    Remebber: I can not see the screen, so your instructions will need to be something like this:
    Center button (opens menu)
    Down x3 (Settings)
    Select
    Down x2 (Connectivity)
    Select (etc)
    ** NOTE: THE ABOVE IS NOT CORRECT - THIS IS AN EXAMPLE! **
    If you can exaplin what each stage is doing so much the better.
    Once I have turned Bluetooth on I plan on connecting to PC Suite to copy contacts - if you are able to check what I need to do to set up and accept a new connection then I would be REALLY grateful!
    Thanks,
    littleIdiot

    Try this:
    Centre Button (Menu)
    Left
    Centre Button (settings)
    Down x6
    Centre Button x3 (connectivity > bluetooth)
    Up (on)
    Centre Button (select)
    If it works you will hear a beep.
    It may be easier to transfer your contacts if you get a data cable.

    How much does it cost to repair a broken screen for iphone 4? Just wanting to know how much they charge at the apple store or if there are any cheaper alternatives taht are reliable. I already upgraded to the 5 but am giving my 4 to my daughter and would like to fix it for her.

    Apple do not repair iPhones but replace them with a refurbished unit.  In the US this costs $149 (USD).
    If not in the US, follow this link, select your Country from the drop down box and then look under Warranty and Service pricing.

  • I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
    Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
    My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
    I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
    The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
    I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
    The monitor works in my other laptop.
    Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
    I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
    Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

    1.  The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.

    Thanks for all your help!
    Getting the drivers is not the problem.  Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
    Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

  • How do I use an external Monitor to access files on my iMac with a broken screen?

    I have an 20 inch desktop iMac with a broken screen. It is the files on the computer that I wish to recover, after that, I can be on my merry way. Unfortunately, VileVault was on (Not my choice), and for some reason, when I target the disc image of the broken mac with a new one, ONE of the accounts "appears" to be completely empty. All of the accouts were running FileVault, but only one (mine) failed to be transferred because it is "empty". I refuse to believe that my files are actually all gone, because theoretically there should be nothing wrong with the CPU itself, just the screen.
    Thus my goal is to use a monitor on my broken screen iMac and simply log in and access my files normally, and perhaps pull them out with a USB or something. I have a DELL monitor, and a DVI (The big hairy plug with screws I think) converter that works with my old iMac, along with the male/male DVI cord. However, when I hook it up, nothing happens. I have tried booting the old CPU while holding F7, and option as I read on a forum, and neither produced results.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to 1. Get the monitor to simply show what's going on on the mac? or 2. Pull out my files through some other means?
    Thank you.

    If you have a second Mac computer, you may want to try to copy over as many files you can. One way is to use target disk mode.

  • I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

  • How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

    How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

    If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529  , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

  • What is the cost of replacing iphone 5(broken screen, out of warranty) with a higher model maybe 5s? In India.

    Hi,
    Yesterday i dropped my phone and the screen got shattered. The phone is working fine. but the screen is cracked.
    After searching through the internet, i found out the following options:
    Getting Out-of-warranty Replacement.
    Getting the screen repaired by Apple Store.
    I am located in India and had  bought the phone from India only.
    So my questions are?
    What is the cost of getting an out-of warranty replacement for iPhone 5?
    Can i get a replacement for a higher model of iPhone( maybe 5s or upcoming iPhone 6). If yes, how much extra i'll have to pay?
    Is it possible to repair the broken screen in India? if yes, what will be the tentative cost?
    Thanks.

    The price of getting the screen replaced in the US on the 5 is $150, and it is only available on the US as of now.
    iPhone 5 screen replacement at an non-official Apple retailer is $75-90
    Should the OP decide to go that route, he will be forfeiting future support from Apple, both in and out of warranty
    A new/refurb 16GB iPhone 5 from Apple is ~$400
    A used 16GB iPhone 5 on Craigslist or Swappa is ~$275-350
    Apple no longer sells the iPhone 5. They keep a number of units on hand for out of warranty service, which is $269 in the US.
    Buying from Craiglist (or on-line) is usually risky as the phones turn out to be not what they are advertised as.

  • I have a broken screen on my 2008 MacBook, I want to access the hard drive what are my options?

    I Have a 2008 MacBook with a broken screen, how can I access the hard drive?

    1. Connect an external monitor. If everything else is working fine on the MacBook, you'll have full access to your computer. Or
    2. If the MacBook has a FireWire port, use Target Disk Mode (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1661) to mount the HDD and then copy the files to the second Mac. Or
    3. Remove the HDD, put it in a $20 USB caddy, and connect it to another Mac for file-retrieval.
    By the way, this forum is devoted to vintage Classic operating systems that Apple retired over a decade ago. More people will see your posts if you put them in a forum devoted to your particular level of OS X (Leopard or above for a 2008 MacBook).
