Waiting to take in eMac for capacitator repair?

My eMac has a bulging, possibly slightly leaky capacitator, and often needs to be booted a few times in order to not freeze. (Although when it does get running, it seems to work well.)
However, I'm a student, and in the middle of a large-ish project at present--with the 1.25 gHz replacement parts apparently on backorder, per another thread, I'm better off having a freezing computer at home than none at all. What I'm wondering is whether continuing to run my eMac for another week or so with this capactiator problem is going to cause more problems in the computer than already exist.

I think (and this is only my opinion) is to make sure you get your computer backed up, as though I am quessing a bit the capacitor is probably on the logic board and its unknown
when they will come back in stock and by the amount of posts
and those who have not posted there may be a fair amount of
folks in line/que already with case numbers (possibly)
Not sure if you have a back up drive or how big your project is but if your computer/logic board fails you could get a
non startable computer (worst case scenario) I by pure dumb luck backed mine up completely before mine acted up and Applecare gave me a case number and instructed me to take it to a Apple Resller/repair facility which I did and they called
and said they ordered a logic board and its out of stock
I do not know if you can access some else's mac or rent one
I think the Rent A centers rent PC's but I could be wrong
Best of luck.
If you have not gotten hold of Apple, follow the instructions on the eMac logic board program or if you have applecare go that route,

  • Why does my Macbook Pro have to sit in a retail shop for 5 days 'waiting in line' before it can be repaired?  Why can I not schedule a repair?

    I've recently experienced an issue with the Apple Retail store.  I have been told by 2 different retail stores that my machine must wait at the store for 5 days before being repaired.  Although the parts are in stock - that is how long the line is.  Ofcourse I asked - why can't I schedule to bring my machine in a couple of days before the repair is to be done?  The response was basically that is not how Apple does it.  So if the turn around time for a repair is 2day - but the queue is backed up 5 days, my machine must sit there doing nothing for 5 days.  Unbelievable.

    You are addressing an audience that is not affiliated with Apple.  We can't help you.

    Why not?  If you are under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let Apple deal w/hardware problems.  If you mess up, your warranty will be voided!

  • Need help to analysis "foreground and background wait events" on statspack report for oracle database 11.2.0.4 on AIX

    Hi: I'm analyzing this STATSPACK report: it is "volume test" on our UAT server, so most input is from 'bind variables'.  Our shared pool is well utilized in oracle.  Oracle redo logs is not appropriately configured on this server, as in 'Top 5 wait events' there are 2 for redos.
    I need to know what else information can be dig-out from 'foreground wait events' & 'background wait events', and what can assist us to better understanding, in combination of 'Top 5 wait event's, that how the server/test went?  it could be overwelming No. of wait events, so appreciate any helpful diagnostic or analysis.  Database is oracle 11.2.0.4 upgraded from 11.2.0.3, on IBM AIX power system 64bit, level 6.x

    Hi: just know it now: it is a large amount of 'concurrent transaction' designed in this "Volume Test" - to simulate large incoming transaction volme, so I guess wait in eq:TX - row is expected.
    The fact: (1) redo logs at uat server is known to not well-tune for configurations (2) volume test slow 5%, however data amount in its test is kept the same by each time import  production data, by the team. So why it slowed 5% this year?
    The wait histogram is pasted below, any one interest to take a look?  any ideas?

  • 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document for the 1st time

    Hi Experts,
    I am doing goods movement using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE in my custom code.
    Then there is some functional configuration such that, material documents and TR and TO are getting created.
    Now I need to get TO and TR numbers from LTAK table passing material documnt number and year, which I got from above used BAPI.
    The problem I am facing is very strange.
    Only for the 1st time, I am not finding TR and TO values in LTAK table. And subsequent runs I get entries in LTAK in there is a wait time of 5 seconds after bapi call.
    I have found 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document with similar issue, but no solution or explanation.
    Note 838036 says something similar, but it seems obsolete.
    Kindly share your expertise and opinions.
    Thanks,
    Anil

    Hi,
    please check if some of following OSS notes are not valid for your problem:
    [Note 838036 - AFS: Performance issues during GR with ref. to PO|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/838036]
    [Note 391142 - Performance: Goods receipt for inbound delivery|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/391142]
    [Note 1414418 - Goods receipt for customer returns: Various corrections|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1414418]
    The other idea is not to commit each call, but executing commit of packages e.g. after 1000 BAPI calls.
    But otherwise, I am afraid you can not do a lot about performance of standard BAPI. Maybe there is some customer enhancement which is taking too long inside the BAPI, but this has to be analysed by you. To analyse performance, just execute your program via tr. SE30.
    Regards
    Adrian

  • Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

    Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

    No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

    Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

    Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade.  No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on &amp; off for no reason at all.  I gave in and tried the hair dryer method.  Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute.  Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again.  That was 2 days ago.  Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again!  Hopefully this will last.  I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try.  Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

    you will be fine if you have warranty
    If not Apple won't want to know
    I know I've tried but they will not help.
    I've email bbc watchdog the consumer

    Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
    Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
    My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
    At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
    Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

    I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

    You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

    I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

    4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
    I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled.  Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
    I've had  iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
    Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

  • Directory Damage, what can be used for Disk Repair and Virus Detection?

    Hi,
    My eMac is acting up. Yesterday I started getting these messages that I needed to restart my computer (message was in a brown box window with an icon of a start up button in background).
    I did the disk repair using Start up CD and it came back with "invalid key......." or something like that, and when I tried to repair it, it tried to repair the B-Tree's but then said it could not repair the problem.
    I have Diskwarrior 3.03 Build 39, on a CD and on my FW Ext HD, which has a clone of my Mac HD.
    Diskwarrior could not produce a graph of Mac HD because the directory was damaged. When I did a rebuild it hung on step 9 comparing directories, said there was 7 million + tests. ( I let it hang on step 9 for 15 hrs. to see if maybe it was just taking a long time due to corrupt directory). I finally clicked on Skip and got to the report page. I could do a preview, but the replace button is greyed out. When I was comparing the sizes of each folder, in both preview and original, I got a can not calculate error message on a few of them. The size of Mac HD in preview compared to the one in Original was different by 4 gbs. A week ago I repaired the Mac HD and did a Diskwarrior directory repair on all my HD's.
    Before I do any reformatting of HD or other drastic measures, I was wondering what is safe to use for disk repair and virus detection. I know there is Norton System Works 3.0, Norton AntiVirus and TechTool, are these the only ones? Are these safe to use? Are there any other programs that can repair directory damage?
    Thank you in advance,
    Deb
    eMac 2005 1.42GHz Combo Drive 256MB Tiger 10.4 75GB   Mac OS X (10.4)   Western Digital (WD) 160GB FW Ext & WD 320gb Media FW Ext, Creative Speakers

    The long-standing rule of thimb has been that if Disk Warrior can't repair a mungled disk directory, then you're looking at reformatting or replacing the hard drive. Since this is a week-old hard drive, I'd suspect the replacement hard drive is itself bad. It might save you grief in the long run to contact the vendor who sold you the drive and inquire about their warrenty. You might want to first run the file system check utility fsck as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck
    Directory repair and antivirus protection are different critters. Norton AV is mostly safe (if you don't mind it's track record of false positives) and is used by the IT department at the lab where I work. Norton SystemWorks, AKA Disk Doctor Kervorkian, is most assuredly NOT safe. For every poster reporting something nice about it, you'll find at least 2 dozen cursing it. It has a known track record of detecting problems no other utility finds and of "repairing" drives such that nothing can then read or repair the drive short of low-level reformatting (and occasionally even that fails).
    Tech Tool Pro 4 has a good reputation, as does Drive Genius. Tiger OS X 10.4.2 and later include a version of Disk Utility that can for the first time also make effective B-tree and keys out of order and overlapped extent repairs. Still, my personal gut feeling is that if Disk Warrior is choking on the hard drive, you're looking at reformatring while zeros the drive (zeroing should detect and map out bad physical secotrs).
    You can also refer to Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error and to Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck

  • I got my iPhone back from apple to day for a repair and has no screws

    I got my iPhone 5 back from apple today I sent it in for a repair cause the touch stopped working and I got it back with no screws  I'm over it

    Well your phone isn't screwed?  Take it back to apple and have them repair it by adding the missings screws.  Perhaps the technician had a bad hair day.

    FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated.

  • MacBook Pro takes much time for Shutdown (More than 1 min.)

    I have a MacBook Pro, and some weeks ago, it takes much time for shutdown.
    I've tried to install the 10.5.2 update, but nothing solves.
    My mac takes for shutdown 1 min & 30 seconds every time. I don't understand. Why?
    What can I do? I tried to repair permissions and reset the PMU, but the problem still there.
    Help me! Please!
    Thanks
    Sorry, but I'm spanish and it's possible that I've made more mistakes writing in English.

    Thanks. I tried to dissable an EyeTv option, then EyeConnect don't appears in the Activity Monitor. This is the result:
    Now, my MacBook Pro takes only 35 seconds for shutdown. I think is better than yesterdey, but is more than the 5 seconds that you described in the last post. Is 35 seconds a good time? In this 35 seconds, I only can see the background image, without icons and without the finder menu bar. After 35 seconds, Mac is off.
    How can I disable iDisk sync? I have a free mac Account, but is expired and then I can't use iDisk, only the name in iChat. But, is iDisk enabled?

  • Water spilled on MacBook, need to replace Logic Board--worth it to send it in for total repair (where it will be like "factory new")?

    Thursday--I spilled water on the keyboard of my MacBook Pro 15", and it immediately turned off. I unplugged it from the charger and turned it upside down, and then began to dry it off the best i could with a towel while letting it drain. Then I took it straight to the Apple store on my campus, where a technician removed the back, took each part out separately, and then dried it/the parts out the best he could. He advised me to wait a day or two and then try to turn it on.
    Saturday--I used a hair dryer on low heat to help dry it out the best I could, and then I tried to turn my computer on. It wouldn't work, but when I plugged it into the charger it did turn on. The screen looked a little waterlogged and was flickering slightly. I took it back to the store and they said that their technician would look at it.
    Wednesday--I went back to check on the status of my MacBook, and the guy presented me with two options:
    I can replace the Logic Board for approx. $500-600 and be done with it (and eventually the moisture in the screen, which is clear as ever now, will dry up?)
    or
    I can send my entire MacBook back to the factory for replacement/repair of anything that might need fixing for around $1300-1400.
    I am currently on my MacBook now, and it seems to be working just fine (although it has to stay plugged into a power source because the battery won't charge)...
    Money isn't an issue here, yet (it was bought with an AmEx and is covered with that warranty up to a certain dollar amount), but my question is this: Is it necessary for me to replace my Logic Board, if my computer still seems to be working--or will I end up seeing issues down the road if I don't and Should I go ahead and send it in for a full factory repair?? Is it really worth it??
    Thank you!

    It would be best to send your MacBook in for a complete overhauled, this will save you time and trouble in the near future.  I am sure you have some items internally that will continue to corrode and render your MacBook inoperable some day soon.

  • Master is very Slow, Because Slave Takes 20 minutes for "startup done"

    I have two db env to be backup for each other. I stopped one db env for 5 minutes, then restarted it. I found that it took over 20 minutes to receive the db callback event "startup done". During these time, there were transactions in the master db env. I guess this makes the sync_up process take so long time.
    I used the ack policy "DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER" and used "txn no sync" flag for transaction, so during these 25 minutes, master is very slow.
    My requirement is master can resume its performance as soon as slave comes back. Can slave accept the log before its sync completed? Or any other way to solve this issue?

    Most likely what happened is that the stopped dbenv is the only site/peer able to
    send the acknowledgement. If it is stopped but not disconnected, then the master
    will wait the full ACK timeout for every txn.
    It is also likely that during that 5 minutes, log files were archived and when the
    stopped dbenv became active again, it had to perform an internal initialization
    from scratch. That copies over every page of every database and then the logs
    needed to resynchronize. If you have a lot and/or very large database files,
    that can take a long time.
    The client cannot send any acks until it completes its synchronization. One
    way to avoid this would be to perform a manual hot backup to the client before
    starting up the application. You would have to copy over all database files, then
    all log files from the master (in that order) and then run catastrophic recovery
    in that client directory. Then start up your application and the client should be
    able to quickly synchronize.
    You can control this in the application by setting DB_REP_CONF_NOAUTOINIT
    to DB_ENV->rep_set_config. You'll get back an error that tells you that the site
    needs an re-initialization and you can do that copying then.
