Vertical Lines Issue - Serial Numbers of Other Than W85?

I may be purchasing a 17" Powerbook 1.67GHz and know that those with a W85 s/n are the big culprits regarding screen defects, i.e., vertical lines.
Are there other serial numbers, as well, showing up as problem units? Is there a source where I can find a listing of them?

Please see the other topics in this forum related to your question.

I have the Photoshop Photography Program and every time I try open Photoshop CC it asks me for a Serial Number. It keeps saying my trial period has ended. How can I get this working since Adobe doesn't issue Serial Numbers for CC.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

T400's Vertical line issue

I'm not sure how Lenovo doesn't have recalls yet but in our company we have T430's T440's and T450's that have a vertical line on the LCD screen. Almost everyday we have 1-2 laptops with this issue. What's even worse is we purchased some T440p's last year and for some reason they were only under warranty for a year and not 3 years and now one of the laptops T440p ran out of warranty as of 7/20/2015 and it's having this Vertical line issue. What is one suppose to do in a situation like this? It's fairly a new computer. We've had this issue on brand new machines out of the box. How is lenovo not getting sued for this problem?

Hai Deep,
Use Elements as suggested by Kodarapu.
Now goto Paragraph Formats create a format for Item lines.
ex.
Name Paragraph Format as 'IL' Now click on the Push Button "Tabs" on bottom Right.
now in "Tab Position" enter the spacing that you need for your item dispaly
ex.
Number     Tab position       Alignment
1               6.00   CH          LEFT
2               25.00 CH         LEFT
3               54.00 CH         LEFT
The above example is for 3 items
Now in your Script Windows-> Main
do the following.
/E           ITEM_LINE_A

Do you want your Mac's serial number? What model Mac? Click on the Apple in the top menu & select About This Mac. Then select More Info. The Serial number should be in the window that opens.

Slightly different vertical line issue

Hey guys,
I think I might be having the 'vertical line' problem. The screen suddenly goes to vertical lines and the computer is then unresponsive to inputs (actually there'd be no way to tell...), and the only solution being to restart it via the power button.
The questions I have are:
1). Is this the 'vertical line' problem
2). Is it the video card at fault? (Certainly seems like it)
3). Can the video card on these computers be replaced or is it an integrated unit?
4). I gather that the Apple extended Repair offer on this model has expired (****), what do I have to do to get this repaired, or is it something I can do myself with the right parts?
Thanks

Excellent ideas, x! Our "IT" is one guy in another building across campus, and while he's extremely capable he's also overloaded and prefers to lock people from poking around their computers so he'll have fewer things to undo. I'll get on his list. Meantime, maybe I'll start my project over at home where I have Premiere Pro running flawlessly on an XP system I've tweaked to perfection, but what do I know? Thanks for the link. Now I can finally join the British Lard Marketing Board!

Vertical line issue - How can we get Apple to address this?

Hi guys,
As can be seen in this forum (and a lot of other forums, as well), a lot of people are experiencing this problem on their 17" iMac G5 with iSight. Here are some pertinent details (which may be familiar to a lot of people but can be a primer for those who are just starting to experience the problem):
1. For most of us, these lines started appearing between 13-15 months after they purchased them. The lucky ones either had these failures occur during the first 12 months, or had APP.
2. The majority of these units can be traced to the Shanghai factory W8 (enter your S/N in this website to get the manufacturing information of your unit: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html).
3. A similar issue occurred (or is occurring) with 17" PBs. From what I have read on the Apple PB forums, it seems that this has been a long standing issue and Apple has SUPPOSEDLY attempted to censor some of the posts discussing this. Note that these units can also be traced back to the same Shanghai factory.
4. The "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" which certain people have always been referring users to on posts discussing this type of problem obviously refers to a totally different issue (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/) and is applicable only to first gen iMac G5s. I'm sure that everyone appreciates it but, at this point, it is quite clear that it is not the solution to our problem.
5. Based on the number of posts discussing this very same problem in the Apple forums, it is pretty obvious that these are not isolated issues. There are too many similarities (time of failure, how the numbers of line increase over time, manufacturing source, etc.)
6. Some people have suggested that unstable power sources may be the primary cause of the problem. However, based on the locations of the people with these problems who have posted in this forum, it seems unlikely. From what I can see, the problem happens whether you are from a highly industrialized country (where a stable power source can be expected) or a developing country (where power sources MAY be more unstable).
7. Apple has typically responded (to anyone who has taken the time to write or have their iMacs inspected) that this is not a known manufacturing defect issue. As such, the cost to repair this problem, which can go up to USD 500, will have to be borne by the owner.
8. Based on posts of some people who have had their units repaired, it is the LCD that has to be replaced. This is also supported by posts from people who have resorted to purchase a separate display as a workaround.
Now, the question is, *how do we get Apple to address this issue*? Do we all start writing Steve Jobs about it? Do we go to the press? Should we put up a website and Digg it to death? A spoof video on YouTube? MySpace? Or will we just suffer in silence? Suggestions anyone?
P.S. Suggestions that involve any sort of violence or industrial sabotage are not acceptable, please.
Note that Ale_Tog has put up a Flickr page where we can post photos of our poor iMacs. Just send the photo to [email protected] with the subject "Dead pixels on iMac". No text, just the photo attachment. (+Ale_Tog, if you read this, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. Also, I suggest that we at least put the first 5 chars of the serial number, the factory information which can be retrieved on the link in #2 above, and which country the unit is based.+). I highly recommend that everyone send a photo to show that these are not isolated issues.
To get an idea on how many people are experiencing this problem, here are a list of posts in these forums, as well as others, discussing this issue (feel free to add to this):

Yep. I feel Apple's 1 year manufacturer warranty for the iMac is not adequate, especially for an all-in-one unit with a relatively high price.
My iMac G5 started displaying a vertical cyan line about 4 weeks ago, only about 19-20 months after I bought it for Christmas in 2005.
I called up Apple to enquire what could be done and was told by their customer service that a rather long period had elasped since the warranty expired in 2006. So I was told to take the iMac to an authorised repair centre and Apple will not contribute to the cost of the repair.
I expect respectable service life from my computer and anything less than 5 years is totally unacceptable. Thus I seriously question the value proposition for the iMac in this respect. Does it mean that I have to replace my iMac every 2 years? The computer still feel reasonably zippy, I still have plenty of space left on my hard drive, but the screen is failing ...
Today another line (green) appeared on the screen ...
It is my understanding that a number of LCD monitor manufacturers are now providing 3 year warranties for their products. Now why should Apple only provide a 1 year warranty? Especially when the replacement option will cost more than buying an entire new LCD monitor with even better specifications?
Based on the number of responeses I have seen here, this is not a rare occurance and I seriously question their quality control in their manufacturing process. I think Apple should be responsible for these repairs, and also provide a 3-year warranty for their LCD screens.
My iMac's serial number is W8548Zxxxxx.
Sincerely yours, an unhappy Apple customer.

How to get the serial Numbers issued for an STO

Hi,
I created my own STO and mapped a serialised material for the same using transaction. I increased the stock by issuing serial numbers. The /SYCLO/MM_DOPURCHASEORDER_GET BAPI returns the PO header, item and longtext details. I want the serial numbers which are issued to the STO and the list of serial numbers for which the receipts has been done.
I want to know how to get the serial numbers which are issued to the STO throught the standard function module. I want only the issued serial numbers not the one for which the receipts has been done.
I tried using the standard BAPI, "BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1" to get the serial number collection. But the FM is not returning the issued serial number as well as the list of serial numbers for which the receipts has been done. It is returning only the PO history in which the list of document number are present.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan.

Hi,
Using the transaction "MB1C" and movement type "561", I filled the required details such as Material Number, Quantity, Storage Location and Batch. After filling all these details, when I press enter, it will ask for me to enter the serial numbers equal to the quantity specified. I entered the serial numbers by selecting the available serial numbers for that particular material by pressing F4 help.
Please let me know if you need any more inputs in this regards.
Thanks,
Mohan.

Vertical Lines!! Kernal Panics !!!! Please Help

Hi this is my first post to the forums. I thank you all in advance for answers. I have an IMAC 24'' 3.06 GHZ 4GB RAM that is displaying some weird characteristics. The first is the lines from left to right that are vertical. The first set is 4 lines then sets of 3. This is happening all across the screen. I have a W8 serial and saw something about defected computers is this true? I have the Applecare extended for 430+ more days and I already had a crash on the HD. Now I am having more problems. The lines worried me the most, but also I am receiving Kernal Panics. I can't even get the computer to load up. I spoke with Applecare over the phone and they referred me to the store. I got sent away twice before they finally got my computer in the store. I have now been to the store three times this week alone. Most importantly is the vertical line issue a permanent issue? I purchased the unit in July of 2008. I hope my unit is not defective. Now they are telling me they are going to replace the Logic Board as well as HD. They said this time it wasn't an HD issue but they are going to replace the HD to placate me since I have been there three times this week. The new HD is 640GB. Original is 500. If the HD is not bad are they truly accomodating me or is it deceptive practices to hide their constant issues with the CPU. I just want to find out why they are causing me to do all of this running around. I have spent over 5 hours on Phone with Applecare. I worry if this computer is going to be a recurring problem. Are the vertical lines symptoms of other issues down the road. My confidence is slowly eroding. I will give the full serial If that helps. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Adam('s Apple)

How do I get to Customer Relations?
Just call 1-800-275-2273 and asked to be transferred to ACR. CALMLY explain the situation to them and have all your case numbers ready. If you don't get satisfaction with the first call, call back and talk to another rep. I went through 3 of them one time, but Apple came through in the end to my satisfaction. They will do what it takes to make you happy.

Vertical lines - there for sure

I want to share my success of getting iMac, that was demoed for a while, before I became user and warranty time started ticking for me. Initially unhappy to discover, that unit was on display at some computer shop (via traces of activities), I am now extremely happy to be found in position to be covered by 12 months warranty, once famous vertical lines issue is there, as it should (same unfortunate serial number). Only weeks were left for this joy to happen.
On the other hand, I am posting this to encourage Apple looking at the essence of problem, and stop playing unaware - when the rest of the world knows issue very well, it would be surprising, that otherwise great company would behave like it does now. If we, Apple users, are goodwilled to slightly overpay for our gadgets, surely we do this with trust in Apple as decent manufacturer of reliable equipment. If manufacturing turns out to have defects (having that for particular serie is sure sign), we, users, and Apple are finding ourselves at crossroads: either our favorite company does right thing to protect our expectations, or we no longer expect equipment to be reliable, we though it should be.
If my PC screens are more robust, than those in Mac, and if there is nobody to stand on our side in such discoveries - well, you got idea.
Personally, I am happy to have warranty, as described. But it is only luck. One cannot expect be lucky all the time.
Apple, please address issue as needed, I want to be able buying your next product.

Perhaps it would be helpful to know, that my particular serial is of W8605xxxU2N range, what is exactly current wave of falling down screens - pity, do not see them in arranged program yet. For my warranty repair, I see LCD being awaited from supply chain, that must be defective part.
Really interesting, the serial of my 17” iMac is also W8605xxxU2N.
edis wrote:
... I think this position is unnecessary: you have had your deal by exchanging money for goods. 100% of price? That should be enough.
It was not supposed, nor were you warned, that those goods will last you ONLY for warranty term. If some manufacturing defect leads to obvious state of serie of product HAVING this hidden "quality" - there is no need for you to imagine having 50% of Apple share to cover that accident. We know, and were happy, Apple does good, but being capable, it especially has something to obey. ...
Well, yes, that’s absolutely right, - theoretically. Practically, the situation is unfortunately in many cases not so logical. For example you truly find “iMac fanatics” on the web who effectively repair their Mac 100% on their own costs. Alternatively you find a lot “Apple follower” which simply buy a new Mac. How a person in such situation reacts, simply depends on the insensitivity of their “iMac-Apple correlation”. (Some person might prefer to be married to their iMac or Apple…)
Whatever as you, I have clear principles, - and so before buying a new Mac, or reparation fully on my own costs, I will shift to anti-Apple Dell Computer…. However if there might be a chance to alter Apple’s position in my case, I am in contrast to you absolutely willing to make some kind of a “balanced deal”….
At last a little recommendation, everyone who have one of these “cursed” iMac series (like early 2006) models within warranty, should conclude immediately an Apple Care Protection Plan.

DIAPI posting Delivery Document with Serial Numbers

Hi,
I am using SAP 2005A, SP01, Patch 8. I am not able to create a delivery document based on Sales Order with serial number items.

Hey,
I was having the same problem... With that error though I found that when I wrote the Delivery Obj to an XML file that every time that you add a Serial Number Line you are adding a blank Serial number line, and thus producing that error. I have also seen other post the same problem with the same solution of removing the Add completely for all serial numbers. Just a warning as well. If you want to create a Delivery Withless items then the assosiated SO, There seems to be a bug with SAP that will give you a error stating that some random Item (one that may or may not be in the sales order) does not have a system Serial number avaliable...
Anyways, that has been my experience,
Hope this helps

15" LCD has many thin colored vertical lines. HELP!

I have Model # a1286 I think. It is a mid-2009 model. There are so many vertical, and some horizontal, lines blocking a third of my screen. It looks like there is a crack but the glass isn't broken, just lines on screen. HELP! I have no warranty, this started exactly 3 months after 1 yr. warranty was up and I have no Applecare. I know part or all of the problem is the LCD because a screenshot does not show the lines. If you press on the screen, the lines change color or it just adds more lines.
I am 3 hours from an Apple store but I will take it I have to.
It is not the same as the "strange vertical lines" issue. Each line is the width of a pin but goes down the whole screen and colors are pink, red, green, blue, yellow and light blue and there is now a BIG thick white bars with the lines over them (sese pic).
I attached an iphone picture but it is kind of dark. I will retake a brighter picture tomorrow.

The picture is OK; it tells the story quite well.
Can you connect an external monitor? If the problem goes away on the external, that indicates a fault in the built-in display assembly, but not the graphics chipset or the logic board.

Where are the Serial Numbers for T410 and Mini Dock Series 3?

I recently called the support line, and between the young ladies on the phone and me, we couldn't find them anywhere! There are lots of other numbers, but we couldn't find anything with an SN, S/N etc. And why (Lenovo engineers, I'm looking at you!) do the numbers have to be in such tiny font and of a color that blends in so well with the color of the computer or device? There is an entire laptop bottom to use, I'm sure there's enough room to put numbers that can be more easily read wtihout having to resort to magnifying glasses.
At any rate, someone, please tell me where they hid the serial numbers on these two pieces of equipment?
Also, I apologize for sticking this post in an existing, not-exactly-the-same-topic thread, but I couldn't find any sort of "create new thread" button anywhere. I also did a search, and while there were posts on how to find the serial numbers on other models, I couldn't find one for the T410.
Thanks so much ,in advance.

Using the mini dock series 3 you don't have to undock to remove the computer. So it's not like when using the advanced mini dock where you had to undock before the computer can be removed. That is why you don't have the undock option under the start menu or undock options in easy eject when connected to the mini dock since you don't have to undock.
If you don't use Access Connections the wireless radio will not be turned off when connected to the network using a cable. If you use Access Connections you should check that a profile have actually been applied and also the settings to allow the radio to be turned off.
Since you get network access through the docking it sounds like it's working fine. Is the monitor connected to the docking working as well?

Serial numbers repeated!

Dear PM Experts,
Can anyone tell why i have two different materials with the same serial numbers and how can i prevent this from happening !
Thank you

Hi,
There is not any customizing or other setting to ensure a system wide unique serial number. You could use exit IQSM0001 and the other exits mentioned in note [92970|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/92970] to implement custom logic to issue serial numbers and ensure each number was unique.
