USB 3.0 pins are bent, able to RMA?

I was rebuilding my build a while back and I don't know exactly how  , but my USB 3.0 pins got bent, is it possible for an RMA?
My motherboard is a MSI Z77A-GD55 BTW.

If you mean the USB 3.0 connection on the side of the board, it's rather easy to fix, if you have a USB 3.0 connector and a small screw driver.  USB 3.0 pins are rather long (at least on the Z77A-GD65) and if you are not careful, the pins will bend when you try to push in the connector.  The fix is to carefully straighten the pins while you gently try to push in the connector.  It will take few tries, but the pin will "unbend" and you can finally push the connector in.

  • Please help. iPod pins are bent.

    where my iPod plugs in, the pins are all bent and destroyed and won't charge. I'm very careful with my electronics so I don't know how this could have happened. I'm very upset especially cuz I use my iPod to practice my drums. How do I fix it or charge it some other way? help. :/

  • [HP Expert Day] "You are not able to restore this system with the media"

    Welcome to HP Experts day! 
    I've got a long-standing problem since last year. Let's see if you can solve this! 
     I'll get straight to the point : 
    I am unable to perform recovery on my system. This is the error message : 
    It's a USB recovery media created with the HP recovery media utility on the same laptop. Tested to work correctly before I sent it for RMA on my SSD. It initially was running on a micron SSD. When I got it back, it was a samsung SSD instead, according to some benchmark results. 
    Laptop : HP Envy Spectre XT 13-2018TU
    P.S I've already opened another thread on this last year. 
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/Unable-to-boot-from-USB-recovery-media/m-p/2197929#M1... 
    But they were stumped. 

    I had this exact same issue on a Spectre XT Pro Ultrabook. 
    The original SSD failed and I was sent a replacement, was fortunate enough to be able to create a Recovery USB stick using the wizard in Windows. When booting from USB I received the message "You are not able to restore this system with the media".
    SOLUTION: You must NOT use the Recovery USB stick in any USB3.0 port (labelled SS). Using another USB port prevented this exact error message from appearing and I was able to complete the system restore process.
    I hope this helps someone, I signed up and posted here especially for this reason!

  • Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

    I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

    I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
    No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
    So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
    About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
    That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
    I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
    USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
    The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
    My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
    Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
    Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
    Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
    My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
    I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
    I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
    No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
    From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
    It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

  • Which pins are which?

    I'm using the parts of a spare usb cable and a couple of pieces so that I can plug into the bottom and get the line-out feed.
    The problem isn't how to do it, but which pins are which. I've found diagrams that say it's the same for all ipods, but it's hard confirming. A multi-meter barely registers anything because even if you try to measure any AC current, line level is so low that it's hard to pick up much.
    I connected pins to the line out displayed in the diagram, and I've tested the continuity to ensure that the signal goes from one end to the other, but nothing audible comes through.

    I've tested the continuity to ensure that the signal goes from one end to the other, but nothing audible comes through.
    How are you testing it?
    Line level is only ~1 volt so you need headphones or and amp. If you are plugging it into a speaker, you won’t hear much, if anything.

  • Are we able to stream using Airport?

    We have an airport extreme, airport express and a Sony PS3. Are we able to use either to stream iTunes/iPhoto to our Sony PS3? If so, where on PS would we find it?
    Thanks.
    also, are we able to use airport with WD MYBook Studio (2TB) as a network storage device? If so, what steps do we have to take...?

    We have an airport extreme, airport express and a Sony PS3. Are we able to use either to stream iTunes/iPhoto to our Sony PS3?
    In this case the PS3 is a DLNA player, not an AirPlay device. Two different technologies for streaming. You would need a DLNA server to stream to the PS3 as iTunes itself does not provide this type of service. There are a number of options out there. One example would be TVMOBILI.
    also, are we able to use airport with WD MYBook Studio (2TB) as a network storage device? If so, what steps do we have to take...?
    No with the AirPort Express; yes for the AirPort Extreme. Basically you would connect the HDD to the USB port of the Extreme, and then, use the AirPort Utility to configure it to be shared out on the network.
    Using AirPort Utility v6.x: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Disks tab > Enable file sharing

    Hi Ashim Kumar Nath,
    Have you registered SCP when installing ADRMS? If you can't remember, you can check this running ADSI Edit, connect to the configuration container in verify if those nodes exist CN=Configuration [server name], CN=Services, CN=RightsManagementServices,
    CN=SCP. Right click on SCP and verify that serviceBindingInformation contains your https://rms.company.com/_wmcs/certification server name.

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?

    With the latest version of itunes, are you able to search your library by purchase date?  My prior itunes software had Name, Time, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Plays and Purchased.  With Version 11.0.3 of itunes, 'Purchased' is not a tabbed option to sort.  Can this be added?
    Thanks.

    Hey jeffwcincy,
    Great question, we simply need to check "Purchased Date" from the View Options menu.
    In iTunes 11, click the "View" menu and choose "Show View Options". Located under "Stats" is the "Purchase Date" option.

    Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
    I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
    Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
    EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.
