T400 LCD problem possibly connected to power

I have a T400 and recently I have been getting a turqouise flashing line at the bottom of my screen (not more than 1 mm thick). It flashes consistently once every ~4 seconds, and it only flashes when the battery is less than 100%. When my computer is plugged into the adapter and fully charged this is not an issue. I have tried restoring my computer to a point before this issue started, reinstalled the BIOS, reinstalled the video driver, and done a SFS scan, but at this point I am not sure what else I can do. Any suggestions?

also do you have the switchable graphics card version? if so switch to intel by going to the power saving mode, and see whether the internal LCD still have this problem.
But what you are describing sounds like an issue with the LCD panel itself, you can get a new LCD for around 150 to 200 dollars on the net.

Try eBay:- T400 LCD
Marketplace of forum.thinkpads.com • Index page is another alternative, personally I recommend the forum as I have bought quite a few things from there.
Hope it helps.

Lenovo T400 LCD Problem (shut off and bezel light abnormality )

Hello !!! This is regarding a problem with the Thinkpad T400. The problem is -- When the lid is at ~65 degrees , everything works fine. Whereas , when the lid is raised to viewing angle of arounbd 90 degrees , it goes to sleep AND , I noticed that the bezel lights (wifi , bluetooth , Cellular , Caps Lock etc...) also turn off , this normally never used to happen before. Even while the laptop is about to go to sleep, it will keep the bezel lights on till you can see the moon light. Now, even while sleeping , I can't see any moon light. If you have a valuable input , please do share it with me. Excuse me for any spelling errors as I have to bend my head doewn to peek under the display and tyoe .. -- it's painful Thanks a Lot!!!! Matt

Hi ChrisMatthew,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I find this issue could be with LCD cable, if you have enough knowledge on system hardware you can check with reseating on both the ends (On LCD panel & System board).
If you are want to try on that then you can also do it with the help of Hardware Maintenance Manual.
Please click here to visit the link where you can get the list of support contact numbers, select the respective region and give a call.
Hope this helps.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

HT3131 Problem with closed Mac connected to power adapter

Dear support, as far as i understand when my mac is connected to display and closed, i can not unplug mac from power adapter - as the display will be off right away. Problem is - that i don't want my mac always be connected to power as it will harm the battery. Any Ideas?

Thanks for the answer. So that means there is no way that u can use external display in Clamshell mode without power adaptor. As far as I understood - I need to fully use my battery at least once a month, and then I can continue using power on all the time until next month, right?

WRT54GS Possible Problem staying connected

I'm not entirely sure if this is a router issue or an internet issue, but from time to time recently the internet, both directly connected and wireless, will die out only partially. Programs will still work like AIM or even World of Warcraft, but the internet won't be able to find a page as if the internet is down. Even when this happens even sometimes random pages will work. iGoogle homepage might not load after repeated attempts, but I can still get Google Search result pages through the Google Toolbar to load up and other random bookmarks. I've tried uplugging both the router and the modem and waiting 30 seconds that is typically recommended, and that usually ends up killing it entirely for the programs as well.
Is this actually an issue with the router or is my internet provider (BrightHouse Roadrunner internet) just having problems. If this turns up to be the case, I'll call them tomorrow, I just figured I'd try and see if it is the router first.

If you have no problems when connected directly to your modem, then it could be your router or your computers.

HP DV6000 series laptop - Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger

Hi,
I am using a hp dv6000 series laptop for last 2 years.... Accidentally, water fell on my laptop and then my laptop itself fell down from the table.
One the first day when I tried restarting it there was no response ( No power LED no display nothing, no cpu fan etc ...)
I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the RAM hard disk, front bezel, keyboard. I used a hair dryer to dry out any of the moisture. My laptop then started showing some response ... now after 4 days .... it is working all fine except the display...
The problem is :
1. The Laptop backlight is not working... (but I can see the display with a external flashlight pointed to screen)
2. The laptop works fine on battery... but as soon as I connect the power charger... it immediatly shuts down.
Currently because of display problem... I am using the (RDP) windows remote desktop connection from an another laptop to access the desktop.... I logged on from another laptop and checked that all the internal harware parts are working fine.
Also, sometimes suddenly randomly the display backlight starts working fine and goes off randomly.
Please suggest. I seached all the online help but I have found no help on "Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger"...
thanks.

It sounds like the LCD power inverter has been damaged and would need to be replaced. As far as the AC adapter/battery issue, I'm not sure. It sounds like you need to retire this notebook early.

Problem with connecting and syncing (quicktime.qts)

Hi,
I have a problem with connecting and syncing my Iphone to itunes.
iphone alone on PC -> uploading files (fotos) is possible
itunes starts normaly, if iphone is not conected.
if i connect iphone after starting itunes, or if i start itunes after connecting iphone i get an itunes-error with message:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.2.25 ModName: quicktime.qts
ModVer: 7.65.17.80 Offset: 00909a47
i test different things...
- used another USB-port
- used another PC
- used macbook of my wife instead PC
- deinstalled and new installed of itunes (older and newer versions) folow tutorials of apple
- use another USB-Cable...
I'm resigned, Please help me..
Tom

AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 9.0.2.25 ModName: quicktime.qts
In this context, that can sometimes indicate trouble with a content file on the phone (or Touch).
Do you have any podcasts stored on the iPhone at the moment? If so, if you delete them from the phone, can you connect to iTunes without the error?

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

Problem on connect to two servers with SSL

Hey all!
I've got a problem with connecting to two different servers via SSL in one Application. Every Connection works fine on its one via SSL.
But if i try to initialize a new connection it fails every time.
My thought is that the problem is the DriverManager. I'm not quite sure how this DriverManager works, but what i know is that it's a single-ton Class and with that maybe stores some parameters from the first connection which didn't get reloaded when trying to make a new connection.
Here's the way i create the connection ..
    String host="best.host.ever";
    int port="3306";
    String MYSQL_URL="jdbc:mysql://"+this.host+":"+this.port+"/";
    DBName="db_foobar";
    sqlProps = new Properties();
    sqlProps.setProperty("user","foo");
    sqlProps.setProperty("password","bar");
    sqlProps.setProperty("zeroDateTimeBehavior","convertToNull");
    sqlProps.setProperty("useSSL","true");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", trustStore);
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "trustpass");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", keyStore);
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "keypass");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.debug","ssl");
    printDebug("[Konstruktor] : Connecting to "+MYSQL_URL);
    try {
         Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
         this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection(MYSQL_URL+DBName,sqlProps);
        connectionCount++;
        initOK=true;
    //Catch stuff following...Is it possible that the System.properties i'm setting are only readed one time by the DriverManager (if it's readed by the DriverManager at all)?
So when i initialize a new Object with different System.properties they may not get used again.
Hopefully somebody has an explanation or a solution for this.
Besides: If i launch the programm twice it's no problem to have to differen SSL connections at the same time.
Thanks for reading and in advance for trying to help!

Yep, it's the standard authentication failure message. (The error code is 1045).
The Exception which is thrown is a SQLException with the message:
Access denied for user 'username'@'p54BB743D.dip.t-dialin.net' (using password: YES)
errorcode: 1045
The code i'm using runs well with one connection and even with multiple connections as long as not more than one connection are using SSL.
To explain:
The user has the possibility to run the application with a user defined data-source (the connection). You can add a new connection and the application will then add a tabbed pane with the same gui but uses the other data source then.
This runs fine with multiple connections (I managed to work on 3 differen intranet servers and 2 different servers online, one of them using SSL)
So all together 5 Connections. Now i wanted to add a 6th server with SSL two and thats the point where it crashes. (Both SSL Servers run perfect on their own with my application - only both together doesnt work).
About that: Class.forName, yes i'm using it every time when i make a new Connection. This is wrong? Could you explain why?
Anyway thanks for your answers so far!

First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.
