Apple :: MB LCD - Frame Around The Display Isn't Properly Set In Place
May 2, 2009
I had a little mishap, my MB (1.83GHz) fell down and it got a hit on the upper left corner of the LCD. Immediately it got purple stripes showing in the browser window's gray fields, and when I tried looking at some pictures, they had lots of bright green fields.
In the time since then, I have not got to doing anything about it, but a few days ago, it changed, the display suddenly looked perfect. This prompted me to think that the LCD is not shot anyway, that most likely some connection in there has got loose. Seconds ago I again had a few purple stripes showing, but then I grabbed the LCD, with my thumbs on the inside frame and fingers on the outside, carefully pressing a little, which caused it to become perfect again.
Somehow I wonder if the problem is that the "frame" around the display isn't properly set in place. Just after it happened, it did look as if it had come loose, but I pressed it slightly and it looked as if it had popped back in place. When I now had to press a little, it did make a little noise... Could the problem be this simple, or...

Any programs out there that will display that info while playing a game? I wouldn't mind if it were tucked in the bottom right corner of the screen or something

I've noticed when playing vidoes, the video frames update at a slower pace to the point where it feels that movie is being played in slow motion. Sometimes this conditions stays longer other for few minutes. It does not make any differene if I am streaming or playing a movie stored on the HD (machine doesn't have CD drive).
I've ensure there are no other apps running that might seep power away from main processor/RAM or video processor. All the drivers are latest & greatest and I don't see any warnings anywhere in the system manager.
It has Win 8 and Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1.6G of video RAM which seems decent enough to play a video file smoothly.

I currently have a Macbook Pro, from the mid 2007 batch. The frame around the screen started with a hairline crack at the base of the screen on both sides about a year ago and since has developed into full blown crack on both sides. It seems that the rest of the screen is fine, so I don't want to buy a new one. Does anyone have any knowledge about replacing the bezel (not sure what to call it?) around the screen?

Does anyone know how to capture a single frame in iMovie 08? I'd like to create a poster from a couple clips in iMovie but I can't seem to figure this out.

I have HP pavilion g6 , win 7 64 bit. Amd Radeon HD 7400M series and Intel HD graphics.My problem started when my screen was getting black for seconds alot and when it comes back it said amd stopped so I decided to update the driver. First I downloaded the supported driver from the site URL.... but every time I try installing it the install process run very quickly the screen doesn't even switch during installation and it says driver is successfully installed although nothing was installed and nothing absolutely change.so I decided to download the latest amd driver from amd site14.4. I had some problems while installing but it worked fine and I had all the options including the switchable graphics.
But after a while the laptop started to hang on startup showing a blue screen saying something was incompatible.So I tried to update the driver from device manager and since then I lost all catalyst control center options also the switchable graphics mode and 3D in Photoshop isn't working anymore and every time I close the catalyst a message come saying it stopped working. I tried many times to uninstall the driver then installing a new versin 14.9, the previous 14.4, the supported but still nothing of them worked at all, also I tried installing with win 7 compatibility but it always gets stuck.

I have a 17" MBP 2.16 Ghz. I'm having problems with the Lid latching properly. I think my issue is that the magnet on the Right Latch is not strong enough. The hook on the left swings down from the magnet o the right, but the hook on the left does not. It will swing out if I put a magnet close to it.
I used a nail file and can feel magnetic pull over where both magnets should be. I just think the left one is a little too week. This causes only one hook to engage the latch.
Does anyone have pix of these magnets?
Can you purchase them somewhere?
Is there room there to put in a stronger magnet?
If there are any threads out there that show how to repair this, I would love to see it. I've been searching for hours and can't find a thread addressing the magnet issue.
The other thing this does is make it appear the LCD is warped because only one latch grabs, but really the display may not be warped, it just looks like it is because it is only being held by one Latch.

I would like to thank The realfireblade for answering my post in a different forum. It has been impossible for me to answer him directly. The dell forum refuses my password.
I worked on that all day today, changing my account three or four times. I thought I had finally managed to create a new one that worked, but no, when I tried to answer Therealfireblade, the forum refused my password. I am not stupid, I had written the right password.
I have spent three days now trying to get in touch with somebody at Dell's to know where I can have my little laptop repaired. It is awful

I intend to get the Studio XPS 16 laptop ASAP (at least as soon as Dell Hong Kong decides to restock the SXPS 16). However after reading a few posts here am slightly concerned about the dips in frame rate ppl are experiencing while gaming.

in the newer HP models for screen repair? On the older versions you used to have to remove the rubber guards that covered phillips heads. Newer models do not have guards but rubber strips and no screws beneath.

I had sent in a ticket to blizz with DxDiog and the MsInfo and they cound out there was some errors in some applications and is now fixed c: I simply just did a facotry recovery since honestly i just have steam, wow and a drawing program installed so it was nothing huge lose whne i did it. So everything is working just fine right now ! I did try the one with truing off anti aliasing and it did work as well even if my frame rate is back to it's 90+ it jumped up to 100+
So it started last saturday that my frame rate dropped drastically from 90+ to 15- on World Of Warcraft. I followed the steps that i got told with updating drivers and such, but still low and un-playable.
It's really strange and all, i bought this laptop for like 1 month ago and had no problems until now. There was a windows update (i use win 8.1) last week that first messed with my latency at first, but then my FPS.
When i play on steam per say Assasians creed and Portal i have no problem but it seems to only be on WoW.

I purchased this new HP laptop a couple weeks ago. Since new, I've noticed that it frequently freezes up with "NOT RESPONDING" in the upper frame.
I researched a few other posts similar & tried to do the processes, but they did nothing.
FYI - Did the sfc /scannow .... When finished it did say "resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"
I then went and did the local disc C - check the drive for errors. It came back with NO ISSUES? I then did a defrag just for fun, and it said no fragmented files or issues?

my 1 year warranty passed recently and I'm pretty happy with the M1530...so happy with it that I figure I might as well up the ram on it.
Now the unit has 4gb installed and I'm looking at maxing it out with 8gb.
I've searched high and low and can only find ram for about $160.00 for 4gb stick.

I have an FW510 and was wondering if I could add a second hard drive in the place of the OD. The searches mainly returned results for AW series which officially supports a 2nd HDD. I replaced the primary drive with an Intel SSD and would like to keep the hard drive that came with it as a spare one for storage.
I know laptops from other manufacturers can use this, but has any Sony FW owner done it successfully (using OBHD or any other caddy)?

I have one of the older Studio 15 laptops (aka the 1535) and the battery I'm using now barely lasts an hour and Windows 7 is giving me a notification saying that I should "consider replacing my battery."
Where would be the best place to buy a new one?

Other than the Dell website, would anyone know of any deals/coupons or place where I can buy the Dell M6400 laptop for the cheapest price in USA or Canada?
I can't work with my old laptop anymore as it was handed down to me by my brother who is a programmer..
I need a new laptop geared for heavy graphics, rendering, video editing, multi-tasking, and feel the Dell M6400 will take care of all that.

I was doing some reading on the Inspiron Mini 9 and I understand that it uses a solid state drive in the form of a PCI-e card.
My question is, since the Mini 9 has three PCI-e slots, can you place an additional SSD in it? If you have the wireless LAN then the only other slot available is the Half mini.
I did some browsing and there are Half mini SSD's available. If one had an 8GB SSD could they purchase a 32GB for an 8GB+32GB configuration?

I read threads about people with SZs with their function keys not working, not working after closing the lids, etc... I assume this is with 64bit Windows 7 clean install? If I upgrade, not clean install, a freshly factory restored SZ780DN to 32bit Wiundows 7 Pro, will everything work 100%?

note: my process below is for Australia where we do not have access to Microsoft's online AnyTime Upgrade for Windows products...
I'm in the process of purchasing a Dell Vostro 1310 on behalf of a family member who's just started University (College)
I've configured the one we want into a shopping cart at the Dell Store. However, it only comes with Vista Home BASIC included. I can upgrade it via Dell to Business or Ultimate for a further $237. I would rather have Home PREMIUM but Dell does not offer that for Vostro as it's a "business" system. That's fine. But Home Basic is not suitable.
Here is what I'm planning and I want to run it past the experts here before going ahead.
* Purchase the Vostro 1310 from Dell with HOME BASIC included in the price.
* Purchase ULTIMATE UPGRADE for $80 from MS via offer for ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS at the itsnotcheating.com.au site.
* Take delivery of the laptop from Dell with HOME BASIC pre-installed
* Use the ULTIMATE UPGRADE to do an in-place upgrade of the the pre-installed Vista HOME BASIC to ULTIMATE...

I was working on my laptop without the mains power and it completely went dead and refused to restart.
If I take the battery out and use on mains only the pc is fine.
Does this mean the battery is causing the start up fault and needs replacing?
