G4 17 inch aluminum do not close

When I close the screen on my PowerBook it locking does not work. When to put the screen down the two little hooks to get out but they do not block. The computer is a PowerBook G4 17-inch model number A1052.

It doesn't seem to be much details on how to repair or replace

the locking mechanism in the model of PowerBook 17-inch iFixit repair guides...

Maybe a guide from a smaller form factor (15 ") may give clues on how to do.

The design is similar to that used in later models of G4 iBook and have magnets.

Not sure if you can find a video takeapart with specific details.

Good luck!

  • MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

    So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

    (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

    Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

    -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

    (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

    Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • DeskJet 6988 lid does not close

    I have problems with the lid without closing on my Deskjet 6988.

    I just changed the ink cartridges, but the lid won't come down completely - it gets stuck about half an inch short makes it close.  The two ink cartridges are firmly in place with the Snappers bit closed on them, so I know this isn't the problem.  I regularly had this problem before, but this time it seems to be blocked for good.  Sometimes when I close the lid very, very slowly it will go down, but this time it will not.  As far as I know, there is no rhyme or reason why the lid closes without problem a few times, and other times refuse to close.  I even tried to turn off and on, which sometimes works, but once again, nothing seems to fix this time.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Anyone has any ideas on how to fix it?  I have some stuff that really need to print quickly, but in its current state, my printer can be a very large paperweight with flashing lights.

    Check out this link.  It has helped me understand what the problem was.  It might help your model.

    Here is the link that has helped the problem:

  • After IOS 10.0.2, camera will not close

    Just did the upgrade to the new IOS, and now everytime I open my phone or my pad, the camera is open and will not close. Reboots do not help.

    Hello. Can you explain more? You open the smart cover or click on the Home button and immediately see the camera? You should see the lock with a message screen to press home to open. The lock screen is now configured with the page today (widgets) on the left and on the right camera, so you can drag to get access without having to open the iPad. If you enter the camera, by error, by clicking on home leaves you.

    i mac OSX10-9-5 2015.   How can I order i-Tunes DOES NOT close automatically after 30 minutes... Despite having put in place to save energy to stay active for 2 hours?

    To the best of my knowledge iTunes has all of the features that could stop him. What make you believe it's iTunes rather than some other power saving feature? What happens exactly 30 minutes? It's happens during playback video or audio?

  • Windows Firefox will not close.

    Hello
    I am running windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.1. whenever I click on the Red 'x' to close Firefox, Firefox will not close. If I want to close all tabs, Firefox does not close the last tab. If I try to merge windows (by dragging the tab of a window in a different window) Firefox will create a blank tab on the window where I dragged the dragged tab. So far, the only way to close the Fire Fox is click on the close button or to stop by the Task Manager. When I re - open Firefox Windows and previous tabs are also there, and I'm still not able to close them. I restarted my PC and reinstalled Firefox (uninstalled and re-download). However, after downloading Firefox... the same windows will be opened, with the same tabs! It's horrible!

    Hello cach_dies,

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Apps will not close and will not be Mac restart

    Hello

    ______________

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013)

    2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB / NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M 1024Mo

    OSX: 10.11.5

    ______________

    After the upgrade to osx 10.11.5 Some Apps do not close properly. A free App Icon(with the black dot) remains on the dock. I can start the application again, which leads to an additional icon. When I run the command "killall Dock" multiple icons dead is reduced to one. It seems that for most opengl using the Apps are kept in the Dock after closing.

    After a while, some of the Apps start more. Photos.app throws an exception "invalid pixel format.

    The only thing to get rid of the icons and the problem with apps not from, is to restart my mac.

    A normal reboot or a stop will not work (so I am unable to install the latest update of the operating system).

    I have to use 'sudo shutdown-h now' or hold down the power button.

    Does anyone else have this problem or even better: a fix for this problem.

    Thanks in advance,

  • No Gecko browsers load Internet sites not based on Windows 7, but they do it on Windows XP. Also Firefox process does not close and the browser can not shut down or restart.

    I tried to install firefox 32 and no site would charge and also the process did not close. I tried to disable ipv6 turning my router settings, so there is that the ipv4 connection and also disabled dns prefetching and define the network to no proxy settings. I uninstalled firefox and tried to reintsall after completely removing everything leaving no trace in appdate local and roaming records and using ccleaner and IObit Uninstaller. Then Firefox would work for a little bit and load Google Facebook and Youtube, when I tried it, but it was very slow, reclassification to the installation of Firefox on my Windows XP that has been improved from 30 to 32. Yet once uninstalled and I tried older versions of Firefox, K Meleon Lunascape and same herd. Flock has worked, but he will soon be unsupported. Finally, when Firefox loaded the CPU usage went from 8% to more than 30% of the Web pages and then loading sites after loading icon appeared. I have other browsers work fine. Right now I use Opera.

    I managed to fix it myself. I did a scan to scan with malwarebytes antimalware pro I had and adwcleaner threat and quarantined everything that the first softare found and cleaned with the second, everything appeared to be remnants of old unisntalled programs. I then had to remove the remains of appdata kmeleon and firefox profiles. I only left the firefox of the records that are the browser files I wanted to keep it light. I then checked for settings. I had windows desfault settings check if I have doen not matter what settings with avg pc tuneup 2011, Tweak Me! UWT 2.2 and used TCP Optimizer to bring the network settings by default by windows to 9000 kbps of download speed (after that I did a network speed test). Now firefox is super fast and xcloses normally.

  • Firefox does not close completely.

    So since I have updated to the new Firefox it does not completely close when I hit X to close. Then the next time I go to open it it says something like ' Firefox is open but does not close it before trying to open it again. Has not done this before and is getting pretty annoying having to open my task manager everytime I want to open Firefox.

    Is this a new problem with the new update, or something else in conflict?

    In case you use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' and then try to disable this feature.

    • Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "Use the custom settings for history": [] 'clear history of Firefox closing. "

    Have you tried the Apple menu > force quit?

  • Web sites will not close. How can I force them? Cannot close their or firefox.

    I have three tabs that will not close or allow me to close firefox.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  • roboformtaskbaricon process does not close after that firefox 9 is closed

    Hello

    roboformtaskbaricon.exe (v754) process does not close after that firefox 901 is closed. Even if I'm wrong, my guess is that firefox pushes this process of firefox, forcing him to run on its own. If it's a matter of roboform, then I will contact them.

    Thank you, specialist

    On the next page, scroll down to "RoboForm controls", then scroll down to 4. The taskbar icon under this heading. It seems that maybe the item to which you are referring. Taskbariconroboform .exefile name, it involves the Windows taskbar rather than the Firefox tool bar.
