How long does it take to get the display replaced?

I've brought my MacBook to the Apple Store and the technician confirmed that the display is defective and that it must be replaced. Although, I was told that he has no idea about when he'll receive it from Apple.
Does anyone has an idea on how long it will take to receive the new display from Apple? I live in Quebec City, Canada.

I got my display replaced a few weeks ago. I got it back 5 days later, after they replaced the display and the fan (which was also defective).

3rd retina display replacement is making my Mac crawl

I have just had the dead pixels on the Samsung retina display replaced with an LG LP154WT1-SJA2.
I had to have the original LG screen replaced one and a half days in to owning this Mac and now not even 18months old I have had to have the Samsung screen replaced because of dead pixels in the display.
Everything is running slower and I am even having Word just lock up on me.
I have 262GB free of the 512GB SSD hard drive so I don't think that is the problem.
Is there any setting that could have been invoked to give me these problems????
Is it possible to get the old screen back and get it running at normal speed??

Apple did some amazing work shoe-horning a 5.25" drive in there. The photo below is of a stock Pioneer DVR-106 in the dome.

T61 Display Problem and Annoying Noise from ESC button area

I have two problems with my T61, model 6460-66U. One's with display and another is annoying noise coming from ESC button area.
Ordered in Feb, 2008 for college use, as soon as I start to use it there's some problem with the display quality. When using Aero there would be black square spots appearing on screen and would disappear when hovering mouse over these areas. Processing speed is somewhat slow when using Aero. While switching to Basic Vista style, those black square spots will only appear in the Windows Photo Gallery's left corner, like the image shows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2746362257_6dc6a4d6a2_o.jpg When playing videos, like avi, rmvb, wmv files, there's a common problem that the screen in the media player keeps flashing with the green color. I thought it was the RAM, because it's 1G so it got upgraded to 3G over summer break. Hoping the problem would be solved, but not . Recover the system back to factory status helps a little, but after upgrading the newest driver (7.15.11.7597) of Nvidia 140m there would be sudden black out on screen, and notice of display driver stopped working. When degrade to 7.15.11.129 version it runs fairly well but problem with Photo Gallery and videos as mentioned above still exist. I found a Korean media player which could fix the video playing problem, but with Windows Media player, Realplayer and other major video player the problem still exists. Screenshot of the problem is here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/2746362307_aff12c556c_o.jpg I upgraded BIOS, but laptop would become slow and video images would blur/double shadows. So I swtiched it back.
And recent few days, there's annoying noise coming from in the upper left corner, where ESC button is. I don't know whether it's from the fan or the AC adapter, it's like Zssssss, and if I press my finger on it, the noise would be a little louder. There's a similar problem that I noticed in the first few weeks with the experience of this laptop, whenever I maximize the volume (both volume control of computer and the music player), some annoying noise, which is similar to this Zsss sound but louder will buzzing along with music. Didn't care much about that since if I don't maximize the volume it would just be fine. But this time the whining noise won't disappear. What probably cause this? Anyway to fix it, like replacing certain parts??
Suggessions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Dirt can get under the button in an instant.
I use a strong suction vacuum cleaner and tip the computer from side to side and upside down while clicking the button to suck out the dirt.

Repairing the 17" Studio Display myself - instructions?

I'm looking to replace the backlight inverter on my 17" Studio Display. Does anyone have some easy to follow instructions for doing this?

Could be a bad display or bad graphics card. Try the other port on the graphics card. If that fixes it, then it's the card. If not, you will need to try the display on another computer, or try a different display on your computer, to isolate the problem.

My Macbook Pro (15-in early 2008) in need of display replacement doesn't come back from repair for 1 month now...

I left my Macbook Pro (15-inch early 2008 vers) w/ OSX 10.5.8 had a serious display problem - it was very touch sensitive and won't show full view immediately without touching more than several times on the right side of the screen. Sometimes it gives ridiculous amount of lines or repetitions, however, the harddrive was working just fine. (Upon getting the view back, all applications were working just fine.)
So I dropped it off at Apple 5th Ave (24hrs) store on March 19th. The MBP was received by an Apple repair hub (so not in-store repair) on the 23rd. Ever since it has been 'on-hold' status mentioning 'part on order'. So, today is April 19th. Exactly 1 month since I dropped it off.
I called Apple 5th Ave, which gave me a number to Apple repair dept. Upon having talked with a rep there, the particular part (because they were initially suspecting its logic board too) they have been waiting for is the very display. As it has been manufactured in Japan, it seems to be really back-ordered, obviously due to the current crisis in the northern Japan.
I heard that iPad2's displays have been seriously back-ordered too... but now I started worrying about my old MBP's display may be the lowest priority before such hot product like 'iPad2'??!! Being Japanese myself, I totally understand the situation... but if it'd take extremely long time even from now, it definitely causes me more than temporary problems as it is the only laptop that I use for everything I do. (Luckily, a friend of mine has been loaning her laptop until she will need it when she goes on trip. But it's been already a month instead of 5-7 business days turn-around that the genius bar rep initially told me. I have been using her laptop with my external disk but of course, it's been quite inconvenient.)
I'm wondering if Apple can help this situation by replacing the whole machine w/ a refurbished one from the same model??? or temporarily loaning me one?!? I'm just becoming desperate & worried now. Is there anyone who has a similar situation?!?

Call Apple and asked to be transferred to "Customer Relations." Explain everything to them and the will take care of you. Make sure you have all your documents and case numbers when you call.

T61 display artifacts (blue stripes and red shadowing), external monitor is fine

Hello everyone!
I have a Lenovo T61 laptop that's just (in March) ran out warranty and obviously developed peculiar single-pixel-level artefacts. Now I know that these kind of problems are generally solved by buying a new laptop, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a software problem. Given below are my observations, so, engineering minds, let's unite and please help me solve this.
Relevant specs:
OS: Windows XP SP3 & Ubuntu 11.04
GPU: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M (version 266.58)
TFT Panel: 1440x900
The big problem:
White display areas have every other column in cyan (Image A), black areas have red shadowing (Image B). The artefacts are present in both OS and in the BIOS screen as well (which is really bad, I know). Red and cyan is both due to the red channel, so we can narrow this down, other colours are displayed fine.
The PECULIARITY of this artefact is that it is only present for:
Cyan columns - pixel values above 247
Red shadowing - pixel values below 4 (And I mean EXACTLY those values, value of 4 - no artefacts, value of 5 - completely unbearable. See Image C, where this display is photographed while showing two patterns with only that slight variation is pixel values. Patterns are attached as D)
Middle gray (value 127) causes flickering, while 128 is perfectly fine.
Solutions tried so far:
Reinstalling GPU drivers - no avail
Setting display contrast to < 35% in Nvidia control panel - artefacts dissappear nearly completely.
I've never heard of such a thing, but since the causing values are so exact I can't believe that this is just fried panel or a broken cable.
So what do You think?
Regards,
Lukas

Welcome to the forum!
Your GPU is failing.
Lenovo might or might not fix it, although it's out of warranty. They are *extremely* well-aware of the problem that plagued these chips.
Reading related threads here or on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will reveals hundreds - if not thousands - of similar cases...
Good luck.

Gave mbp for super drive replacement ends up with display replacement as well

Hey there,
My mbp 13" late 2011 was not reading any dvds but reading cds well so i gave it in under warranty to my authorized service provider, they asked me to keep the macbook for 3-4 days as they did not have the super drive in stock. I was supposed to get my laptop back today when i rang them up they tell me that just one part has arrived and not the other one! asked them what are the two parts and bam they tell me the super drive and the display.
I dont remember having any display issues or webcam issues so i asked them about it and they tell me while running some diagnostics tests they found that my webcam would fail soon and hence they are replacing the display unit as well.
Now i would like to know if they could really find out via the diagnostics about which part would fail in the near future or did they mess up the camera cable which is quite close to the super drive.
They are replacing the display in warranty but id like to still know so that i could avoid the service centre in future if it turns out that they had actually damaged the connector.
thanks guys.

This is a technical site that users volunteer their time on. Most forum users do not directly/officially question the Apple Genius Bar because they do not know the specifics of your case and do not have the Apple Repair Certification. Also we are not allowed to, by terms of use.
Most advise you take it up the chain of Apple Support and through the store management itself.

Keyboard replacement instructions for Pavilion DV-6 1030us

Dear Tecchies,
Thanks in advance for your help! I need some good, complete instructions for replacing the keyboard on my HP Pavilion DV-6 1030us; including all screws needing removed, etc. I already have the replacement keyboard. All the instructions I've found online appear to be regarding different models, or just pertaining to the DV-6 family in general. I simply need the specifics for my model, 1030us. I know they're not too difficult; I'm an A+ tech, so that does help a bit.
Appreciate your help and any time you spend trying to help me.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

This is the Manual which applies to your model. It applies to the whole dv6-1000 series but it does show how to remove and replace your keyboard.
Manual
76-78 are the key pages. Screws and positions are clearly identified. You do not need to remove the screen. Be careful with the ribbon cables on the switch cover and the keyboard.
Good luck.

T61 display problem on both Internal and External monitors

Hi,
I have Lenovo T61 of Type 7662, Model CTO. One month back the right hinge of my laptop has broken. Now the display on the screen is not at all readable. If I reboot the laptop, it is getting loaded, but the display on the screen is not readable and also it is displaying 4 windows without any clear visibility.
I thought the problem may be with the LCD cable under Right hinge. So, I tried to check this with an external monitor. But, the same problem is occurring on the external monitor also. So, I couldn't find what exactly the problem is. If anybody has this kind of problem, please help me on fixing this issue.
Thanks,
RamPap.

well the GPU issue is fixable under free repair, but given that your hinge is broken, not sure whether the free warranty applies in this case.
Basically you need a new motherboard.
Also, can you post a picture of the condition of the hinge? (upload it to tinypic or flickr, then link it here).

PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet): Hard Drive Replacement Instructions

Hi, the instructions indicate the hard drive is replaced via removal of the back 8 screws with a torx t8. However, on mine the screws are way smaller, and none of my torx fit it. they are really small and look like + that.
ANy ideas?

You seem to have bad instructions. Use these from iFixit:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-15-Inch-1-5-1-67-BT-2-0-LR/Hard- Drive-Replacement/64/8/Page-1
You need a #0 Philips and a 1.5mm hex, despite what iFixit says on the first page. They correct themselves later on. No Torx involved.
