What happens after dropping a powerbook...

A quick one:
Yes, as the title suggests, I managed to drop my powerbook, only from a few feet, but its left a dent - the aluminium has buckled slightly on the top right corner of the computer, by the CD drive, on both the left and the top face of the powerbooks sides. The CD drive still works, but bluetooth does not - does anyone know where the antenna is located? is it possible, after my lucky escape, that I murdered my bluetooth?
Regards,
Tom

The Bluetooth circuitry itself is located just under the power button on the right hand side of the PowerBook, under the top of the optical drive, so this is the area where you seem to have the damage.
It's possible that the cable to the antenna got knocked loose (the Bluetooth antenna is located up in the screen part of the PowerBook about a centimetre down from the top of the screen at each side, you'll see a plastic area about 5cm long. The Bluetooth and Airport antennas are located behind these), but it's also possible that the card itself was damaged.
Your best bet might be to take it to an Apple Authorised service centre for them to take a look at it.

  • What happens after 1st year on iPhone contract,ie if in Month 13 get a prob

    I'm thinking of signing upto a new iPhone on an 18month contract in UK
    I know everything has a 1year warranty and I know you can pay extra for AppleCare, or mobile phone insurance but I wont be.
    So what happens after 1st year if you get a problem with the iPhone? who is responsible? is it Apple or O2? and will it be fixed for free?
    bit nervous as its an expensive gadget and if a prob occurs after 1 year?
    cheers

    "suppose, but just with it being used everyday, in pocket, passed around etc etc think it may go wrong, and Loc's law it will go in month 13 onwards!!"
    Still, the warranty is no different than any other warranty on every other product you have ever owned. It is for a specified period (one year being a good length compared to other phones/computers,etc).
    Do you worry this much over every other product that you buy?
    Do all of the other products that you own break right after the warranty expires?
    I always get Applecare and have only had to use it once ( a cd drive on a laptop needed to be replaced).
    I have dropped my iphone more than once and it is fine.

  • What Happens After Launch

    This is question that i have for anyone that has launch an app store application in any conpacity. My question is what happens after launch. Where the best ways to get your application in the hands of people that will bring attention to your app? How do you get your app review by the zine writing articles about apps. How are writing articles about apps? What ways have people found success in advertising your app if you not selling a game?

  • What happens after the year of subscription?

    I'm thinking about getting the student version of CC. My question now is, what happens after the year of subscription? Will I get any software that is able to open or even alter the my files? Someone told me that I'll get a copy of CS6. Is that correct?

    No, not correct.
    When you cancel your subscription, or allow it to expire, your subscription software will stop working until you re-start your membership and start paying the monthly fee again.
    You pay, you use. Stop paying, software stops working.

  • What happens after the 1 year subscribtion.

    I bought a one year subscribtion of CC through surfspot.nl because I am a teacher at NCOI, a large education institute in the Netherlands. What happens after the one year period? Do I have to renew through surfspot.nl? How do I keep my subscription and how much is it going to cost?

    Hi Jenne
    Yes, you'd be best to check the renewal options with Surfspot when the 12 months has almost expired.
    Thanks

  • What happens after: "Erase data after ten failed passcode attempts"  ?

    What happens after data is erased from the iPhone after ten passcode attempts?
    Is it the same thing as Settings->General->Erase all content and settings ?
    Does the iPhone essentially becomes a permanent brick, or does the iPhone appear as a fresh device that just awaits reactivating?
    Thanks~!

    All the user data on your phone is encrypted. When 10 failed attempt occur, the phone just securely erases the encryption key (overwrites it multiple times), then reboots. Without the encryption key present, even though all the data is still there, it cannot be decrypted and read anymore. Its just a load of random bits, and useless. The phone will just go through it's 'factory default' setup and quick format the flash ready to be used again as if it was a completely blank brand-new phone. At no point during any of this process is the system partition (the area that stores ios4) touched, so there is no danger of the phone being "bricked".
    And even if the system partition was erased, you could still restore the phone using DFU mode. It's quite difficult to permanently brick an iPhone, you can recover from most problems.

  • What happens after 20 months of EDGE if no upgrade?

    What happens after 20 months of EDGE? Does the service discount remain if you don't upgrade to a new phone? Or does the service price increase even though you don't have an EDGE payment to end up the same amount anyway?

    mrhelper: What else do you know about he month2month discount? I'm currently on a similar edge program but with 2 lines. I still have about 16 more payments left on the edge phones, but I have no intention of upgrading or do another Edge program afterwards. I believe the Verizon Reps told me that I would indeed keep my $25 discount off the access lines when I originally signed up for it, but if that's not the case, where did you hear about that month2month program and what are the details of it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • My iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    my iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    After the sixth erroneous passcode entry a delay is imposed that increases exponentially and eventually reaches over 40 years before another attempt can be made.
    No one yet knows how long the next delay is.

  • What happens after the 90 days free trial period of Creative Cloud?

    I just wanted to access a free trial Version of InDesign as I didn't have access to my computer with all the Adobe programs back home, but then I ended up (without beeing noticed properly) in the free Creative Cloud test period. Now I'm wondering, what happens after the 90 days, because I can't find any option to delete my Adobe-ID from the Creative Cloud.
    I'm not interested in the paid version of Creative Cloud. How can I delete the connection of my Adobe-ID to Creative Cloud?
    Thanks for your help!

    The free trial is for 30 days, not 90. Just do not want you to be suprised on day 31. And as Cozmicone said a dialog will appear telling you the trial is over and you will no longer be able to run InDesign.

  • HT4113 what happens after the iphone is at iphone disabled wait 60 mins

    what happens after the iphone is at disabled wait 60 mins

    Apple will continue to have service replacements for the iPhone 5 for a long time to come. So if you go to Apple for an exchange, you'll get the same model of iPhone that you turn in. You will not get a 5C.
    As to the price change, there may be nothing to be done, but if you wanted to get the iPhone replaced  but that the Genius could not or would not do the replacement at that time,  talk to the manager of the Apple Store, explain that you were in and reported the problem before the price increase but could not get a replacement then. Perhaps they'll be able to do something for you. If it was your choice not to replace the iPhone, though, then you're probably stuck, just as with any product price increase when you previously elected not to purchase.
    Regards.

  • What happens after 3 failings?

    hello...
    i have white-spot for the third time now. my powerbook is currently at apple repair center. i still have apple-care on it. what happens if i get whitespot again? i guess it will happen again cause all repairs failed jet. i am gonna have the fourth display after that repair and i guess it will fail as the other ones.
    my apple-dealer told me, apple will offer me a new book after 3 failed repairapproaches.
    did anybody have this situation and what kind of machine will i get? the same as i bought or a new, actual one?
    regards
    sepoe

    I'm also interested in this answer. My daughter's PB has had the deadly grey screen for the third time! AppleCare said "it's no problem because it's less than a year old" (what kind of answer is that!!). What happens the next time her screen goes grey? Do they replace the PB, extend her warranty, or whatever????

  • I have a pc and have had to format the hard drive 4 times. What happens after the fifth computer is singed on to itunes?

    I have had to format my pc hard drive 4 times.
    What happens if you have to sign a computer on itunes after the fifth time?

    Nothing "happens"
    You failed to deauthorize before reformatting all 4 times?
    If you have reached the limit and need to authorize, then you will need to deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
