!! Test procedure needed to determine if MLB replacement is warranted.

Hi!
I was hoping someone could point me to a post around here that lays out a nice test procedure I can follow to determine if I really do need a new logic board.
I've got CoreDuoTemp, and it usually sits around 45 - 50 C. I'm on a replacement battery, and it's charging to 3 - 3.5 hours, depending on what I'm doing.
I definately have the whine on battery power (none on A/C). It goes away if the camera is turned on, comes right back if I shut the camera off. Luckily, I only hear the whine if I'm in a quiet room. Unfortunately that's the worse time to hear it, because I'm usually trying to concentrate!
Other than that, I'm very happy with the MBP, and am a little hesitant to take it down to the Apple store (I'm worried I could end up getting back a MBP with more problems than this one).

Supposedly some serial numbers are already flagged to receive a new logic board, so go in, have them scan the S/N and see if you're eligible.
Unfortunately, if not, it'll be a hard bargain to just "get" someone to replace your Logic Board for no good reason. The part's about $1,000. You can bring up your points, but I'm not sure that any of them will convince a genius that you need a new logic board.
Though, if you complain about the heat, one of their first steps is typically to replace the fans, and the logic board. You never know.
So go in and see if you're eligible... or even save yourself a trip and call the store itself to see if they can do a lookup.

  • J2EE testing procedures; need some help

    Hi, Iam working on compiling some key items and write a small document on J2EE's best practices on Testing Procedures. This document may contain anywhere from basic to few complex testing procedures.
    Iam not that familiar at the moment (i have very little experience doing J2EE testing) and iam trying to learn (through this document) about J2EE testing procedures and guidelines.
    So, can somebody please give me some references or some ideas ?
    Thanks a ton for all your help.

    Hi, Iam working on compiling some key items and
    write a small document on J2EE's best practices on
    Testing Procedures. This document may contain
    anywhere from basic to few complex testing
    procedures. Sounds like your boss gave you an assignment that you're not up for. Have you ever done any testing? If not, how can you write about best practices?

    Thanks a ton for all your help.Tell your boss I want the raise you get from my ideas.
    Start with unit testing classes as you write them. Test Driven Development, when done properly, will be a big help. Look at TestNG and JUnit.
    Mock objects can help here. If you've already tested your persistence layer, there's no need to worry about it for your service layer tests. Look at EasyMock.
    Next is integration or business acceptance testing - combinations of classes and packages, front to back, entire use cases. You need to include the UI here. I'm looking at ThoughtWorks' Selenium and its IDE. It even pumps out Java code for you now. Very nice.
    Stress testing is next. You'll need something that can simulate many users hitting the app at once. JMeter might help.
    You have to worry about setting up test data in databases. It's got to stable while you're testing. It won't do to have tests break simply because data was changed. DbUnit might help.
    Most of all, don't do all your testing at the end in one "big bang".

  • How to test procedures and functions of pl/sql

    I am working as a QA basically i got a new assignment of testing functions and procedures, and packeged bodies. Can any one help me in this matter.
    Please help me.
    Hi i am new to oracle I want to test procedures and functions,
    and packaged bodies of pl/sql.

    It depends on what you meant by "testing". I guess you need to check that routines (functions, procedures, packages etc) in valid state and execute without errors. The simpliest way is to get some development tool like TOAD (http://www.quest.com), Oracle Maestro (http://www.sqlmaestro.com) or PL/SQL Developer (http://www.allroundautomations.com). You can connect with them to database and look at the routine state VALID or INVALID. You can recompile them, run and even debug. I guess this should be enough.
    Alternatively you can do same thing from sqlplus. Of course with lesser comfort. You need to write certain SQL statements. For example i want to find invalid procedures:
    SQL> select OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE from USER_OBJECTS where STATUS='INVALID';
    To check how procedures work you need to execute anonymous PL/SQL block like this:
    declare
         /* local variables declaration */
         NAME VARCHAR2(4000);
         PRESIDENT_ID NUMBER(38);
         ID NUMBER(38);
    begin
         /* setting up variables */
         NAME:='MICROSOFT';
         PRESIDENT_ID:='BILLY';
         ID:=NULL;
         /* calling routine */
         GEOMETRY.ADD_COMPANY(NAME,PRESIDENT_ID,ID);
    end;

    Hi,
    I need to determine the data type (e.g. numeric vs alpha numberic) of a free characteristic in a multiprovider.  Can this be accomplished in BEx Query Designer? 
    If not, can it be accomplished in RSA1?  How?
    Thanks,

    its not possible via Query designer..
    give that object name if it is infoobject then you can get via RSD1

  • Need to determine plant and storaeg location for item in delivery

    Hello All,
    I have an inbound IDOC which changes the quantity of items in a delivery and also adds new items if necessary. I need to do a auto PGI also if required.
    Am using BDC to update the delivery. Now the problem is when I add a new item to the delivery. I add the material, quantity and Unit recieved from the IDOC. I need to determine the plant and storage location and fill that too in the delivery.
    Kindly let me know how I can determine these two values. Which table holds this data?
    Please note that I am changing only the delivery. The document preceding the delivery wont be changed.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Johnson

    normally the plant is determined on this basis:
    customer inforecord (table KNMT)
    customer master (KNVV)
    material (MVKE)
    The storage location is determined in table TVKOL based on:
    shipping point (you have it in delivery header LIKP-VSTEL)
    plant (see above)
    storage conditions (material master MARA-RAUBE)
    regards

  • * * Procedure needs a way to  perform  update, insert or delete to...

    Hi Gurus,
    I got Assignment & need your help how to write this procedure efficiently.
    ** The procedure needs a way to actually perform the update, insert or delete to bring the reference data up-to-date with the refresh table.**These columns are for internal use and should not be compared to the refresh tables.
    Column 1
    Column 4
    Column 5
    Column 7
    Column 9
    Column 12
    Column 22
    Column 24
    1)     I would list out the columns in the cursors in place of the *. Or better define a record with %ROWTYPE.
    2)     You will need to include a way to look for rows that may be in one table and not the other.
    a.     Insert the rows that exist in the refresh table, but are missing from the reference table.
    b.     Delete the rows that are found in the reference table, but do not appear in the refresh table.
    3)     You also need to provide for handling the expiration date. Our default expiration date is ‘01-JAN-2500’, meaning if the refresh table has a futuristic expiration date or null, then our default expiration date is considered valid. Also this date needs to be added to any new rows created as a result of the refresh, if you leave the EXPIRATION_DATE column out of the insert it should default to the above date.
    4)     I assume that Differences is where you plan to list the actual data values that differ. If you don’t list the whole row I would at least list the primary key, in addition to what columns are different.
    5)     The procedure needs a way to actually perform the update, insert or delete to bring the reference data up-to-date with the refresh table.
    Thanks in advance

  • How many still suffer problems after MLB replacement !?

    Hi,
    I've had my MacBook for around 4 weeks now, 1.5 of them spent in repair after one kernel panic and the inability to start up afterwards. I received it back yesterday and everything worked fine all night.
    I'm currently at work so haven't had chance to check myself, but my girlfriends just rang me to say that the computer won't boot up !?
    I think if there is another issue I'll be demanding my money back and purchasing something I can rely on like a MacMini !?
    Has anyone else suffered similar problems after an MLB replacement !?
    I understand that there are work arounds like resetting the PRAM etc, but would you accept this if say you'd bought a new car and after it having problems on ignition being told by the dealer that it'll work, but you have to remove the battery and clean the spark-plugs every time you want to use it !!
    I think Apple should really start offering replacements or people there money back, and even start recalling them until they've identified the problem !!

    Hi,
    At this point after more than a month of having your MacBook, you cannot get a full refund, or return the MacBook either. My friend has tried to do that with his MacBook, but Apple will not allow them to return or even exchange the MacBook. Soory about that, but if you continue to allow Apple to fix the problems, you will get a working MacBook eventually. By the way, you may want to ask your girlfriend to reseat the battery, make sure the computer is plugged, and if that doesn't work try resestting the NVRAM and the PMU. Also, you can try and reseat the RAM. Hope this helps.

  • Do I need to get my battery replaced?

    My phone wouldn't charge and it ran out of battery. The water damage indicator has been activated in the headphone jack, but not in the docking slot. There is no visible water or air bubbles in the camera or on the screen. Do I just need to get my battery replaced or is the phone completely broken?

    Dr. Asian wrote:

    Presumably this means that your IPhone has had some contact with water, regardless of what is visible.  Your iPhone is very likely damaged (probably "completely broken", as you said).
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and find out what they suggest.

  • Why do we need account determination?

    Hello,
    why do we need account determinations and how can i create them for the COA?
    Thanks,

    Hi
    To create accruals and post payables, the system must first of all determine the correct G/L accounts for posting in FI.
    Before the system can determine the G/L accounts, certain settings must be made in Customizing. In the IMG, select: Logistics Execution -> Transportation-> Shipment costs -> Settlement -> Automatic G/L account determination. The settings required are described in detail here.
    G/L account determination is carried out automatically. The following parameters are used for determination:
    Chart of accounts
    Valuation grouping code
    Transaction key
    Account grouping
    Valuation class
    G/L account determination can be carried out at shipment cost item level or you can have the system carry out posting at delivery or delivery item level for a more detailed process.

    Hi,
    Yes, that is true. The field borders are not drawn when there is no data for that field.
    Here's a workaround though. Create this formula and use this formula field instead of the original database field on the report
    if isnull({database_field}) or not({database_field} > 0) or not({database_field} = "") then
    space(1) else totext({database_field})
    You can then apply borders on this field and you'll see that the field draws the border when there is no value.
    If the field that is in the Subreport, then it needs to be done in the Subreport, otherwise in the Main Report.

  • Test community needed

    Are there any test community?
    I finished my game development, I'm over the test, but need performance test on numerous different real devices. I'm not an employee of a big mobile software company, so I have only one phone (Nokia 7650) to try. The game is platform independent, but there are several limitatons, screen and speed different in each device. It would good thing if a lot of people test my application on his/her own device, and I can write this test result in test reference, and mark if a device is unappropirate for running the applicaton.
    So if you know any (free) test group, or you are willing to try my game, please answer this message or write an e-mail here: [email protected]
    Why woudn'n we create a test community.
    IT IS COMMON INTEREST!

  • I need to determine the fields on a selscreen at runtime

    Hi Team ABAP,
    I need to determine the fields on a selscreen at runtime.
    That means FM´s like DYNPRO_FIELD_GET, are not doing the i need.
    If a field is made inactive or invisible in PBO (at selection Screen Output) i dont Need/want this in my Analysis.
    Maybe i better state what i want to achieve.
    I want to rightclick a selscreen-field, and then use the upcoming context menue to make it dissappear.
    For that i added a pf-status to that selscreen.
    In sy-curow i get which row the user clicked on (for example take 5), so now i need to find out which selscreen field is displayed in row 5.
    So i can create the customizing entry for this field.
    Maybe someone has an idea for me, i dont need coding, i can do that myself.
    Thanks for reading

    Well Anyway, it took me a Little but i figured it out.
    following code does the trick for me:
    [code]
    Tables phelp.
    IMPORT phelp FROM MEMORY ID 'PHELP'. [/code]
    i do this in the Event AT_SELECTION_SCREEN OUTPUT.
    Then in phelp-dynprofld i have the actual field i clicked on.
    And even if i totally misunderstood you you helped me a lot focusing my thoughts on the right way.
    Before your answer i didnt think about that while pressing F1 it works and i only have to find out how they do it.
