X61s screen lid loose while closed

I'm the owner of a relatively new (unboxed 4 months ago) x61s. What caught my eye ever since the beginning was, that unlike what I've read and myself experienced (I had the chance to play around with another x61s), the screen lid of this specimen still goes up and down while closed, as if the hinges were too stiff (more yet, the rightmost outer corner goes farther up). Inspection of the lid yields that it is slightly curved, both the cover itself and the shape of the right side, when the tip of the lid is pressed down. Is this something to be worried about? If it is, is there some way to rectify the situation?
(As a precautionary answer, I must admit I did indeed open the lid by rising it from the right side, where the release slider is, behavior I stopped some month and a half after the purchase, as already then I noticed the looseness and imbalance).
My thanks,

I just fixed my wife's MacBook today with the same issue. If you can still see an image when you shine a light on the blank screen it is your inverter cable. If you are willing to get your hands dirty, it'll take about 2 hours and about $10-$20 to fix. Usually they just get pinched around the hinge to the screen. Also I saw some people on craigslist and a few apple resellers who can fix this problem for about $100

My presario b1900 only boots normally when a screen lid closed

Hi im a compaq presario b1900 user and suddenly started to have a booting problem since i mistakenly closed the laptop lid in full while booting and opened it up right after.
Then, my laptop only boots perfectly when the lid is almost closed under rougly 30 degrees - whenever i switch on my laptop with the screen lid open, it shuts down after 2 secs and automatically reboots, but then shuts down again ,and on and on.
But after once it goes into window, it works perfectly with the lid open and works well as log-on and off at standby mode.
It only shows a problem when booting after powered on.
is it because my HDD got damaged from a sudden screen lid close??
Or should i change HDD or is it a window issue??

Thank you so much for replying; unfortunately, my screen had already gone gray by the time I read your reply and I had to take in to the Genius Bar. My laptop's up and running, but the main problem is still unknown and I'll have to buy a new one soon. Thanks again!

How can I delay my MBP from hibernating until the lid has been closed for a set period of time?

After extensive research, I have been unable to solve this problem and I'm hoping someone can explain this to me.   Everytime I close the lid on my 13-inch, Early 2011 Macbook Pro, it immediately starts to write to disk (solid light on the front) for several seconds until it finally goes into Hibernate mode (flashing light on the front). The problem is, I frequently close the lid, then immediately reopen it within 15-30 seconds to resume typing or to add something I may have forgotten.   Each time I reopen the lid before the light has started flashing, the MBP wakes for a moment, and allows me to resume typing. However, the Hibernation process has already begun and within 30 seconds, the screen goes blank.   I have to wake it AGAIN, which is very annoying.
Based on my research, I could use pmset to change the hibernatemode to 0 (it is currently set at 3).   However, I dont wish to disable hibernate mode completely; I DO want it to save a hibernation image to disk if it happens to run out of battery, so that when I resume I havent lost anything.
I then researched using standby and standbydelay to attempt a delay of the write to disk when going into standby mode.   According to the pmset manual:
standby causes kernel power management to automatically hibernate a machine after it has slept for a
     specified time period. This saves power while asleep
standbydelay specifies the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering
     off memory for Standby
I then set these values as below, expecting the laptop to wait 4200 seconds (70 minutes) before trying to write to disk when I close the lid:
standbydelay         4200
standby              1
Unfortunately, that did not work either.   If I close the lid, the light glows solid immediately (indicating it is writing to disk), and if I try to reopen the lid before it is done, it will wake and seem fine, then 30 seconds later it goes blank right in the middle of me typing something.   I usually have to click the mouse several times, or even the power button to re-wake it.
I do have InsomniaX installed, for when I want to close the lid and keep the machine awake permanently (while watching videos on airplay) and I have tried quitting that application to test this. However, when I close/reopen the lid..the result is the same.   I cant keep InsomniaX enabled all the time, because it will never go to sleep when I truly want it to.   If I am not using InsomniaX, I just want to delay hibernation until he lid has been closed for a set period (say 15 minutes or more). If I have not reopened the lid within that time, I want it to write to disk and go into hibernation mode. And if the battery runs all the way out, I want it to go into hibernation mode before shutting down so I can recover.
I would appreciate any help in solving this problem. Also any insight as to why the standbydelay setting above did not work.   Thanks!

Whats with the MBP lid? Dont close it ... if you're so concerned! Just go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set it to how you like it.

Iphone4 screen goes dark while I'm using voicemail

or calling...I suppose it's to save battery but I looked at settings and didn't find anything to adjust it - For instance, I want to place a call to my voicemail on home land line, I do so and then hit the speaker to hear it without holding the phone, the voicemail needs to have some numbers put in but about half way thru the screen goes black - the voice is going on about needing to punch in 1 1 # and I'd do that if I could see the screen= but it's black = if I punch around it comes on again but that defeats the purpose of having the keypad nonhidden = and i end up punching the wrong number anyway [hitting 5 to get the screen back on because I can't see the numbers of course]

My new Macbook Air (Core i5 - mid 2011) Build 11A2063 doesn't have the same problem where the screen goes black while working, but I DO have the major issue of it not waking properly after sleep.
Mainly with the lid open on battery after leaving it for 20 mins, I come back and the thing won't wake. It just sits on a black screen. I'll have to either shut the computer down by holding the power button or close the lid and wait 5 to 10 seconds and then open it back up and THEN the login screen will come on.
I think this is a hardware issue. How would we report this?
And does anyone else have this problem?

Macbook pro screen seems loose

we have two macbook pros in the house, the one we just bought, the screen tilts back about an inch further than the year old one. when the laptop is opened it seems the screen is loose, if that makes sense. it does not allow you to adjust the angle it sits at, i just falls all the way back.
i guess my question is i this normal for the new macbooks and can i tighten the joint up so it does not fall and gives me more flexibility with the angle of the screen instead of closed and all the way back.

This is the new laptop that has the issues? If so, don't try fixing it your self. Give a call to applecare since this should be covered by warranty.
Also, No laptops normally do not do what yours is doing.

Hi there, im also having this problem, i tried running most of the games on my system, and some that are considered "high end" games, are giving me the exact same problem, but other games are running and im able to message fine, i also got some friends to send me messages, and i can recieve messages perfectly, also i noticed moving the actual window around on the screen or just closing down skype also lags. I have 16GB of ram and 4.4Ghz Octa-Core CPU, i checked my load while on the high end games and it there was more than enough hardware usage left like normal for skype to run, and skype wasnt taking any extra up than before. I also checked by bandwidth and i was having no problems with that as skype would lag even on offline games.
I have tried re-installing under a different directory and still the same problem persists, this has only been a problem within the last 24hrs and i haven't installed any other programs that could affect this at the moment.
*UPDATE* I tried downgrading to an older version of skype, 6.3.0.107. Problem Still persists

Run time error while closing the CRM Order using BAPI

Hi Experts,
Need your invaluable suggestions here.Apologies for the lengthy mail, intention is to give clear idea of the issue.
I am facing an issue while closing the CRM orders. According to our business process, when an issue is solved we will keep the order in resolved status only. We will not directly close the order from the CRM tool, instead we have created a custom program for the same purpose.
For the custom program we will give input as the order number and execute it, this will close the order.
Here close the order means assigning it to Close status as well assign the reason code.
We have created some reason codes for closed status.
So when the program is run the Order moves from resolved status to closed status along with reason code.
But of late we are facing some problems with this program, it is giving run time error for some CRM orders.
Run time error message : The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught in procedure "CRM_SERVICE_OS_UPD_OST_DU" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Please find my code which have used in the custom program

Please let me know any corrections are required in the above program.
When I analyzed the run time error I have found that it trying to insert the record in CRMD_SRV_OSSET for that CRM order, but already one record is present in the table for the same CRM order number.
For most of the CRM orders there is no entry in this table so they are closing successfully but for a few orders for which there is an entry we are getting the above run time error.
There is nothing wrong with the orders which have an entry already in the table CRMD_SRV_OSSET, I need to close these kind of orders with out run time error.
Kindly provide your feedback.

Hi ,
We are doing operation Subcontracting Process. This process works on the basis of Production order, once the Production order generated automatically system generates a Purchase requisition which we are converting to Purchase order and doing the sub contracting process.

Wat is this error ?? why is it coming so ??

You have to ensure that the order is not having any WIP, if you have any WIP for that order you have to complete the order and then only you could abale to clsoe the order.

one thing for sure, you cannot proceed without maintaining proper conditions in the PO.
Why they are not there or not anymore there is probably caused by customizing or vendor master data changes.

Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
The lasso tool should then work normally.

Macbook pro doesn't go to sleep when screen lid is shut

Hi, I've got macbook pro late 2008 model with glass trackpad. When i got it was working fine and everytime i shut the screen lid, it would goto sleep like normal macbook pro does. Recently its not going to sleep at all. I've to put it sleep to by clicking apple logo on the corner and then choosing sleep. I know its a minor thing but I want to fix it. I bought a new charger sometime ago but that doesn't seems to be doing anything to macbook pro or does it?
Thanks

I've tried SMC reset and nothing happened and PRAM reset says you shouldn't do it unless you've a problems with audio, screen and one more.
Is it safe to perform PRAM reset? I mean it wouldn't crash anything or something. Sorry kind of new here

FF37 on JB 4.2 device displays black screen in videos while sound runs correctly

After starting random video from sites like for example YouTube and Vimeo, smartphone (Samsung Galaxy grand neo) begin to lagging for a moment while video frame display loading symbol. Afterwards symbol disappear and screen turn black while sound plays correctly.
Problem first appeared after I had
updated FF from version 35 to 36 and its also visible on freshly installed FF37 beta. Strangely, on device default browser and chrome everything works fine and w/o any lagging. I tried to resolve this by turning off hardware acceleration in browsers settings, install specific addons(5html everywhere) and even reinstall FF36 and FF37b but nothing helped.
Any idea how to fix it will be highly appreciated. Cheers.

It has been already reported on the Bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1139844

Display Do u want save changes or not? message while closing the window

Hi All,
I have one requirement.I developed one form that contains 4 windows.
I entered in the 3rd window and i have made some changes but not saved.when i close 3rd window it is not giving any message like 'Do u want save changes?'after closing the 3rd window cursor will go to 2nd window.if i open 3rd window again it is propmting the message(Do u want save changes or not?).How can i get this message while closing the 3rd window?
i have written the following code in app_custom body
IF (wnd = 'WINDOW1') THEN
app_window.close_first_window;
ELSIF (wnd = 'WINDOW3') THEN
lv_wnd_status := get_window_property('WINDOW2',VISIBLE);
IF lv_wnd_status = 'TRUE' THEN
     go_item('BLOCK2.ORDER_NUMBER');
     set_window_property ('WINDOW3', visible, property_false);
ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
     ELSIF (wnd = 'WINDOW2')
THEN
lv_wnd_status := get_window_property('WINDOW3',VISIBLE);
IF lv_wnd_status = 'TRUE' THEN
set_window_property ('WINDOW2', visible, property_false);
ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
     ELSE
app_window.close_first_window;
END IF;
Can anyone give me some idea.
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: DhanaSurya on Apr 27, 2010 9:41 PM

Iis this the only code which you used to hide/display window?
Might be some navigation is happening in your form. Like if there is relationship between window2 and window3's block and when you access the window2 then you try to move to the next reocrd and then you are try to go to the WINDOW3's block.
Or there is any CLEAR_BLOCK built-in bieng use in you form.
