SERIOUS SCREEN PROBLEM PLEASE HELP!

my computer suffered a serious injury. It was shot, while open. The only part that got shot was the screen. There is a bullet whole through the screen and everything still works fine, except of course for the freaking bullet hole!!!! My question is, can i replace just the screen glass and metal casing? or is there more damage than i am thinking? the screen works fine, there is a black blob around the bullet hole and some parts of the screen are grey.. would replacing the glass fix this ? or is it an internal problem as well? any information on how i could fix this (without spending as much as a new computer would cost) qould be MUCH appreciated! thank you.

Haha, my boyfriend had purchased a new gun and he let my brother attempt to field strip it. (my borther is a moron) he didnt take the magazine out and it fired, the laptop just happened to be sitting next to him (open). the bullet went through the laptop screen and my couch and eventually stopped in a Lazy Boy chair. all things considered, we were very lucky. Id still rather have not had my computer shot but im glad it wasnt a person or my wall or any number of much worse things. I'd like to add, any computer that can take a Glock 9mm and still be 100% operable is WELL worth the money. Maybe i can work out a deal and let apple use that as advertising if they'll fix it.

  • Green Screen Problems, Please Help!

    I'm experiencing problems with the greenscreen effects of iMovie 09. I really need help. What happens is when I drag the clip ontop of the other clip, I click green screen. Then play the clip and see just a few reen dots, not the green screen footage. If you need a link to the footage its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAFMRKsoX5E. Please help, as this is one of the main reasons I bought a Mac.

    the material you're linking to is in a .flv container (and downloading it violates the ToU of YouTube, just to mention that )
    after re-wrapping it into a suitable format, works like charme:
    … aside missing drop shadows, wrong perspective, missing highlights, 
    and somehow the dino is a lil' bit 'opaque' 
    how or into what did you convert the t-rex.flv?

  • Curve 9300 White screen problem, PLEASE HELP!

    Hi guys, so basically, I've been having this problem for a little while now of which my phone freezes at a random stage, white screens with the red LED light ON and reboots itself. I have tried several things from this forum so far.
    I have backed up the phone on desktop manager
    I have re-installed the OS twice now, (downgrading OS's)
    I tried to use the phone without the memory card or SIM in, I used an app called 'kik' for a little while, but eventually as suspected it froze, white screened and the issue persisted.
    I can easily text one person on the phone, but as soon as I receive a text as I'm typing it freezes the phone, white screens, reboots. Back to square one.
    Something you may need to know is that a while ago, I was in a storm, the phone did get slightly wet, and it did actually stop working. I placed it in a tub of rice for the night, and hey presto it worked again, was happy with that, but from just about a few days after it was working fine, it started doing this.
    Is it the water damage creating this problem, if so would a repair store be able to fix this problem for me?
    The phone is in a tub of rice again right now, doubt it'll make a difference though.
    YOUR FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANK YOU!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    While the rice trick is good, only waiting 8 hours ("for the night") is dangerous...typically, waiting 5 days in the rice before applying any power is needed, and even then there are no guarantees. Applying power to your BB between it getting wet and doing this process reduces the chances of success. Further, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
    From what you describe, I would deduce that the 24 hours in the rice was not long enough, and corrosion continued internally, exacerbated by the application of power, eventually resulting in complete failure.
    As for if anyone can fix it...at an internet distance, that is impossible to say. Only in-hand evaluation by a qualified BB hardware technician can provide you with a proper evaluation and estimate.
    Good luck!

  • Hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

    hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • X-Fi Fatal1ty Plat1num Champion Ed. problem, please help!

    9X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. problem, please help!? Hi there everyone,
    So i have a X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. and a computer with Windows 7.
    I've searched the web and i found many people saying that the card it's working and perfectly compatible so i would like to exclude this option as far as the problems that i'm having.
    So, right out of the box i've placed the front panel in with the ribbon cable and the power connected to it, then i connected the other end of the ribbon cable and finally placed the card in one of the PCI slots i have free.
    Now, when i start my PC, i don't hear any particolar "beep messages" but nothing will come on the screen, in few words my PC will not boot at all. I can hear the HDD spinning, everything sounds normal except for that "little" problem.
    So, i re-did all the connections thinking that maybe i did something wrong, but following the instruction i did exactly as told. So i tried again to power up the computer and i've noticed that the X-Fi logo is lit up (red light) and.. I don't really know if that means something or it's just something aside that doesn't really matter.. But, what is it's The PCI card is broken or there's something else?
    I did try to disable the sound card (integrated mobo sound) from the BIOS but that didn't change anything. I did try all the software options but this looks like more of an hardware problem (please correct me if i'm wrong and/or i've missed something).
    There's something that popped up in my mind.. the PSU. I noticed that i have a 300W PSU (mm.. low, isn't it's)?and i was wondering if that's enough or i need a more powerful one.. and if that's may be the case for the PCI to not work at all causing all i've already explained above. I mean.. It seems like i've installed a dead peripheral and that's impeding the computer to start up..
    I don't know.. I need clarification and help, PLEASE.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Look at the beta thread sticked above but good luck waiting for a new driver. That beta driver has been there since January and although better than the normal driver it is still crap.
    All the boot type issues are with the SSD but if you getting in game crashes etc... under windows 8 that is simply that the driver stinks.

  • Hi .. my iPad 4 with iso 7.0.3 he is restarting himself ... How can i solve this problem please help me

    Hi .. my iPad 4 with iso 7.0.3 he is restarting himself ... How can i solve this problem please help me

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • My iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this

    my iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this

    Hi teejayfs,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • P6N Lots of problems please help

    P6N Lots of problems please help
    The setup is the following:
    P4 D935 3.2gHz
    P6N Diamond MS-7320 Bios 1.3V
    Corsair XMS2-6400C4DHX
    NX8600GT-TD512EZ/D2
    Seagate Barracuda 7200 250Gb SataII 16Mb
    Akasa 460W Dual Rail
    Please help I have lots and lots of problems with lockups that can happen any time post , bios , loading vista and sometimes during OS. Some times will work ok play games etc. Already tried different combinations fitting the mem modules even tried and some pc4200 modules same problems. Spent lots of hours clocking the mems with different settings but non is stable. I am not interested in overcloking just to make it stable to start with. When is actually running is fine is more than enough for me. Already looked to lots of posts on the msi forum but… Since the cpu is old can I go back on an older bios version???? The Corsair modules have to run at 2.1V or is it possible to use them with slower setting. So confused so lost ….. please HELLPPPPP
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    please, don't buy any more unneded parts.  first find the problem then buy if no solutions available.
    One thing I find with BIOS issues is to do a full clear.
    1. disconnect the power cord from the power supply(turn switch to off if there is one.
    2. hit the power switch to clear the power out of the system.
    3. set the cmos jumper to clear and leave there if one is available.
    4. Pull the battery.
    5. carefully short out the battery connector on the motherboard to drain any power left.
    6. press the clear cmos button and hold for 30sec minimum, if you didn't have a jumper to set. 
    7. replace battery, move jumper back, plug in power cord, turn on power sipply switch.
    Now it should hopefully power up.  go into BIOS and load optimized results. hit save and exit and when it gets back to the post screen, go back into bios and set your normal MB settings(ie. set boot devices, boot order, disable sound if using sound card, etc...)
    go into your H/W Monitor section and list the CPU Vcore settings to make sure it is getting the power it needs.  I just looked it up and it's suppose to run from 1.225v - 1.325v.
    also, try your most generic ram you have with auto settings.  the faster the ram usually the more volts they need and default volts are 1.8v for ram and sometimes faster chips have issues with lower volts.
    Let me know how this works for you.
    -=Mark=-
    ps. make sure everything is unplugged from the computer you don't need.  just cpu, 1 stick of ram, and video. and of course keyboad and mouse.  Please make a signature with all your systems specs including make and model numbers.  I hate guessing at solutions and I'd hate to see you buy any more unneccessary parts because of lack of information.

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

    - 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.
    - 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 ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,

    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.
