Unable to release keyboard cable in Omnibook XE2

Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and it's probably going to be a silly question but I'm a novice when it comes to disassembling laptops so I figured I might as well ask some people who know things better as I don't want to mess anything up.
I have this old Omnibook XE2 that I have started disassembling but got stuck because I cannot release the keyboard cable from the connector. The service manual says grasp both sides of the cable and gently pull up, but it won't come out that way. It comes up a bit when I pull it but I have to pull pretty hard and I'm afraid I will break something. I was thinking there might be a latch or clip that needs to be opened to pull out the cable but as I've never done this before I'm a bit unsure about how to do this.
I'm attaching some photos so you can see what the connector looks like.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Laszlo

Hello lackua,
You need to remove the ribbon cable for the keyboard.
You'll need to remove the plastic base also; it should be part of the ribbon.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

Unable to release to accounting on VF02 - Inconsistency on posting tables

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to release a billing document on VF02. IF we check on SM13, it generates an error on FM RV_INVOICE_POST.
Error details is "V2 030: Inconsistency in the posting tables for document XXXXXXXX"
We have checked the ABAP editor but we are unable to interpret the code:
On subroutine PERFORM VBPA_BEARBEITEN from RV_INVOICE_POST, program passes value of xvbfa-vbeln to structure beleg, because of that beleg-id changes from '$' to 0 because xvbfa-vbeln already has a value.
LOOP AT xvbfa WHERE updkz EQ updkz_new.
    beleg = xvbfa-vbeln.
    PERFORM vbrk_belegnummer_ermitteln.
    xvbfa-vbeln = xvbrk-vbeln.
    MODIFY xvbfa.
ENDLOOP.
But on subroutine vbrk_belegnummer_ermitteln there is a condition on beleg-id which is cause of the error:
IF beleg-id NE '$'.
    MESSAGE a030 WITH beleg.
ENDIF.
Please advise. Thanks.

sorry i have to correct my post, the code should be:
LOOP AT xvbpa WHERE updkz = updkz_new.
    beleg = xvbpa-vbeln.
    PERFORM vbrk_belegnummer_ermitteln.
    xvbpa-vbeln = xvbrk-vbeln.
    MODIFY xvbpa.
ENDLOOP.
NOT vbfa.
I will look on OSS note that you said, see if it works.

Unable to release space from table

Hi all,
We are unable to release space from a table called TST03 even after deletion of records.
Followings are the information.
Database     : 9.2
Table Name      : TST03
Tablespace     : LOCALY MANAGED.
Previously there were lots of rows.
At Present only 9 No of Rows.
Space allocated     : 41 GB
PCT_INCREASE     : Null
One of the column is of LONG RAW type.
Since the table is in LMTS, we were expecting that the space allocated will be released automaticaly after deletion of records.
Now, what are the option left with us to release 41GB of space ?
A. Is there any effect of "Drop storage" option of 'Truncate table' command ?
B. If yes , can i copy all the 9 rows to a new table, then use "Truncate table TST03 drop storage", check if space is released and then copy back all the 9 rows to this table.
C. Do you have any other easy solution apart from export/import ?
D. Checked all the relevant Note(646681,48400,10551), could not find an easy solution. I want to avoid offline export/import option.
Thanks .

Sorry, but that is not what LMTS is for. Wrong assumption.
MaxDB e.g. returns space immediately - Oracle does not.

> A. Is there any effect of "Drop storage" option of

Yes, the effect is, that after the truncate the table is empty and only one extent is allocated - the rest is returned to freespace. That's the DEFAULT behaviour of TRUNCATE TABLE.
> B. If yes , can i copy all the 9 rows to a new table,

Nope - you would have to copy the LONG RAW columns as well and this cannot be done easily from sqlplus.
> C. Do you have any other easy solution apart from
> export/import ?
Nope again - you'd have to use this offline reorganisation as long as you're not on Oracle 10g and the long raw fields got converted into LOBs. With 10g you might also use the SHRINK table command. But with Oracle 9i - sorry: exp and imp (will be pretty fast for 9 rows...)

Sorry - no way to avoid it and still get the free space back.
Anyhow you might want to take actions to prevent this situtation from reoccuring.

Mac Plus keyboard cable

For a Mac Plus keyboard cable, can I substitute a phone cable or is the Mac jack wiring specialized?

Hi,
>Is everyone agreed that phone cable needs modification?
If I place the two plugs of a Macintosh Plus keyboard cable next to each other (side by side) on a table, both pointing in the same direction, with both tabs up, the wires are arranged as follows:
yellow-green-red-black yellow-green-red-black
Placing the two plugs of a handset cable from one Swedish telephone the same way, results in the following:
yellow-green-red-black black-red-green-yellow
Both cables use the same type of plug (4P4C).
As shown by this simple comparison, at least these two cables are different.
See also the 'Data port' text in this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4P4C#4P4C
In the case of the Swedish telephone handset cable above, it appears as if turning one of the two plugs 180 degrees (using a crimping tool) would result in a cable that could be used for a keyboard. However, this is not a recommendation. Proceed at your own risk if you decide to carry on with any experimental modifications. I have not tested any modified cables.
You should check whether randomly chosen telephone handset cables in your country have the same wiring/colours as the one I examined.
Jim may also want to verify the wiring and colours with another Macintosh Plus keyboard cable.

You can safely ignore the messages. It is a result of changes in the implementation of madvise in the 2.6.13 kernel (which, needless to say, isn't supported with JRockit). We'll change our usage in a future release so that these messages don't show up.

Unable to release package administration lock for this system

Hi,
I created a Solaris package, but at the end of installation (on a Solaris 10 sparc) I get :
#pkgadd -d MyApp_version__SunOS_sparc.pkg
Installation of <MyAppName> was successful.
pkgadd: ERROR: ERROR: Unable to release package administration lock for
this system; try again later
pkgadd: ERROR: ERROR: Unable to release package administration lock for
this system; try again later
The solution is to delete:
#rm rf /tmp/.ai.pkg.zone.lock*
Then some lib issues occur .. fixed by:
#cd /usr/lib
#ln -sf ../../lib/libdlpi.so.1 libdlpi.so.1
Then I can install and uninstall without any problems as many time as I need.
Why does this issues occur when the package is first install on a system ?
Thanks,
Bianca

Hi Alan,
In the postinstall script I only handle the configuration files that my application has (all the files are in the /app/MyApp directory, no system files involved). I use the read user input and replace the values in the config file, and create another 2 files (also in /app/MyApp directory). This is all I do.
I use the packaging scripts: depend, copyright, pgkinfo, preinstall, request, postinstall, preremove, postremove
Thanks,
Bianca

Powerbook 15" G4 Keyboard Ribbon Cable (Keyboard Cable Connector)

I wanna ask, if the ribbon cable (Keyboard Cable Connector) of a powerbook G4 15 inch keyboard, could be replace. I have a faulty ribbon cable but only the ribbon, not the keyboard. I wouldn't replace the whole keyboard but only the ribbon keyboard, if it is possible.
If somebody knows, please answer my post.
Thanks.
PowerBook G4 15 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I know this is an old post and you probably have solved your problem one way or another, but here is an idea.
If your problem is at the end of the flex cable where the contact material is you might look at the contact surface carefully. you might be able to identify where the actual contact area is and you might trim a 1mm or 2mm from the end of the cable and then see if you don't get a better connection.

Attaching keyboard cable

Replacing the hard drive on my Late-2007 15 inch MacBook Pro 3,1 was relatively straightforward. Re-attaching the cable from the keyboard to the motherboard is not so. Does anyone have any hints?

All of the guides have detailed instructions on the takeapart, but few hints on the re-assembly. On this MacBook Pro, one of the last reassembly steps (other than reattaching all of the screws) is to re-attach the keyboard cable to the logic board. I can not get the cable to seat in the socket from which it was removed, and am looking for hints.

Why am I unable to enter keyboard strokes for messages in Yahoo when I can otherwise manage my Yahoo messages and when this does not happen with Internet Explo?

I can write and send emails in Yahoo mail when I use Internet Explorer. But I hate Internet Explorer. For the past two days, I have been unable to use the keyboard to enter email recipients, unable to enter anything in the cc, bcc or subject lines, and unable to enter any text in the body of the message. I have installed the Mozilla program to improve the inter-face with Yahoo, but that has not helped.

Unable to release OPM Batch in R12

Hi gurus,
We are implementing R12 OPM and using the shared version of unconstrained ASCP planning.
We are not able to release OPM batch planned orders to OPM execution.
The profile Auto Implement planning suggestion to APS is set as No and ran the "Auto Release of Planning suggestions for APS" concurrent request manually gives error message as
"Profile Update activity offset is not set",
Searched thro metalink and could not able to get the solution.
Can anyone help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Suresh

First try to create plan batch manually in Production Module.
If it allows you to create and save planned batch (FPO) then the issue is with ASCP-OPM integration.
If you are unable to create planned batch manually, check for:
1) Plant-warehouse setup in MPS
2) Document ordering
3) Valid effecivity for the item
I am not sure if all of these are still required in R12, but they are required in 11.5.10
If you are able to create FPO manually then there might be issue in integration where some setup steps is missing. You need to follow all the setup steps mentioned in ASCP-OPM integration manual.

Since no one else is jumping it I’ll suggest the general cures of
SMC reset

and PRAM reset

You have tried quite a few cures so if these don’t work take it to an Apple Genius Bar for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.
