Hinge on Tecra M4 has developed cracks

As it says in the title, my old Tecra M4 Tablet well used but not abused 1 year has begun to develop cracks around the hinge. At present, they are only untied but I fear that they may mean a larger underlying problem. Has anyone else had the same experience? Any ideas if it would be covered by my (extended) warranty (I can't send it back now that I rely on so heavily for my studies, but he can probably come back can some time while I'm on vacation).

I posted a picture of the hinge to http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=426685334&size=o (it's pretty big so not dial-up easy) as I say it's minor, at the present time, it's just that if it's going to be a problem, I want to get it sorted sooner rather than later.

Bravo for the help in advance.

Hello

I hope that you did not fall to the bottom of the unit because something as it is not covered by the warranty. His own fault.

However, it does not resemble a "own fault" and in my view this must certainly be covered by the warranty and the service provider should replace the top cover. You should contact the guy in your country and maybe they will send you such part and you will not need to send the whole laptop for a replacement.

But you can talk with guys tech of this procedure and details of the handling of the Fryer

dude good luck

  • Aurora r4 (end of 2011). Three s gpu except the original one has developed cracks.

    Hi, I had trouble with my r4 Alienware Aurora (end of 2011). The original gpu was a 555 gtx, but I upgraded to an hd 7970 just a few months after I got the computer. This card lasted a year and the theanks to a three-year warranty, I got a new hd 7970 which also lasted about two years before he fell. Still, I got a new card of the company, that I bought, but this time, it was an x 280 r9. This card lasted about an hour before I started having accidents. I decided to send my computer to a company that troubleshoot computers and they concluded that it was the gpu that was broken and they couldn't find any problems with my other components so they think it was a mistake to plant on the r9. However this doesn't seem to be a coincedence, and I think that there is something in my computer that breaks my graphics cards.  Only one strange thing is that my original gtx 555 works perfectly.

    Has anyone else had this problem with your r4 aurora?

    Hello

    Thanks for confirming this. The fact that the card has been tested with another computer and the same problem occurred pretty much tells us the card is defective. I understand your concern, but this is not a coincidence and you have already completed the recommended troubleshooting procedures. I can't think anything either in the computer that would make the defective AMD cards but work perfectly well with NVidia cards.

  • My Sony 40 "LCD TV has developed a green tint

    My Sony 40 "LCD TV has developed a green tint that is visible on all channels. This started in the area 10 days back and is still there. Does anyone have an idea of what this might be? Should I call a technician, or is this a simple fix? Thank you

  • My pencil Apple has developed a crack

    I bought the pencil of Apple with the new iPad Pro in December 2015. After using it very lightly and never drop or abuseing it in some way, shape, a crack in the root of the hair appeared about 1/2 "from the edge. This crack appeared with only 3 1/2 months of use.

    It seems to be near even threads for the replaceable tip. It is also in the same orientation as the threads.

    I brought it to an Apple Store and because I am among the first to experience this problem, that they would not not even Steven Exchange it but sell me just the pencil for $ 80.

    I'm sure something is not respected in the engineering of this pencil and threads create a stress concentration area, causing this crack.

    I don't really have a question, I just wanted to put it out there for others who may run on the same question.

    Thank you

  • My 5 years old Satellite Pro P300-19 q has developed all of a sudden a fault

    Without realizing, I posted the message below on the Forum we Toshiba:

    Hello

    My laptop which is 5 years old and has worked without any problems, has suddenly developed a fault I don't seem to be able to untangle. It starts ok and gets on the screen "Toshiba Leading Technology" and it's not there. Should not or reaction to something. I tried to enter the power on Start menu and pressing the F12 key, it recognizes and says 'Please wait' but nothing happens. It applies to "Configure" button F2 and F8. There is absolutely no response and HDD led light does not illuminate.

    I have not installed or changed anything. It runs Windows 7 and I don't have the recovery disc and the installation CD original W7 but they are useless if I can't access the startup option.

    I also removed the HD and connected by USB connection to my work desk and access all my files and programs, so it doesn't seem to be something wrong with the disc either.

    Can someone offer me some suggestions?

    ___I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE_; __

    Looks like you have a corrupted BIOS.

    I recommend asking Toshiba http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/ for any help. They got the disc special crisis to retrieve the faulty ROM BIOS module and instructions on how to install it.

    I contacted the technical service of Toshiba UK enclosing the message above but have not heard
    anyone after. Does anyone have information about this recovery disk and where I could get it?

    I also think that the BIOS can be troublemaker in the whole of the situation. When you start your machine, it begins with the verification of low level material and later start to load the operating system preinstalled.
    In your case the laptop is blocked for some reason any on this first step.

    Unfortunately, your options are pretty limited. What you can try is to remove the check and RAM modules and so portable HARD drive will pass this first stage.
    AFAIK the disk of this crisis is for internal use only so I don't know if you will get it somewhere. What you can try is to google a bit and maybe upload it somewhere with specific instructions on its use.

    In the end, I must say that these issues don't occur so often and I have to ask anyway: you may have updated the BIOS or done something that may be responsible for this?

  • Tecra Z40 - Has - frequently freezing / hanging under Win 7

    Hello

    I have toshiba tecra z40, a laptop brand new, that I use for two weeks my laptop frequently freezing and hanging

    After that not able to do anything I force restart

    OS win 7 64 bit 4 GB ram i5 processor

    Pls suggest...

    Concerning
    Vishnu K

    Hello

    Do you run a specific application while the laptop freezing?

    These symptoms may be related to some software conflicts between installed applications or some drivers not work.

    Have you ever tried to recover the laptop back to factory settings?
    Otherwise, I think you should try this procedure and it must conduct audits after the device has been recovered...

    Please also keep an eye on the MS updates would install automatically... sometimes it may happen that MS updates could confuse the system, and finally the windows would start freezing

  • Tecra A3 has very low volume

    Hi all, I bought a used Tecra A3. With Win XP Professional, service pack 3. I have not all records with him.

    I think the problem started when I downloaded youtube FLV files, then I downloaded a program ('super' was the name of the program) to convert the FLV files into AVI files.
    I uninstalled the program of conversion, I failed to convert anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver of sound card - card his Realtech AC97. I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP11. None of this has helped.

    On this view, I saw how to do a system restore. I thought to perform the system recovery can solve the problem.
    My question is, if I perform the system recovery, to the GET to the elimination of the parameters of the box, it will clear the WIN XP operating system?

    Thanks for any assistance received, Darren.

    Hello Darren

    Please do not be angry on me, but make you it so complicated. Let's be clear on this:

    Saved on DVD of recovery recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional applications such as a DVD player. So if you want to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery media will be deleted all content saved on the HDD, formatted partitions and lately OS will be installed. When all is finished you will have clean operating system preinstalled. It will be the same State as the first day after the default purchase.

    Then I don't understand what you mean now with the restore process. During the installation of recovery is complete you must not install or configure anything. Just boot OS, install your favorite software, install the Microsoft updates and be happy.

    If you have any other questions please post again, but please if you ask something to be clear and precise.

  • My iPhone 4S has a cracked screen. I don't think Apple have more of them in stock to replace by out-of-coverage option. No idea what my options are and how much it would cost me?

    Well, basically I cracked the screen on my iPhone 4S. But two years, worked very well. Now, I am faced with a dilemma. Does anyone know if Apple will replace it by their release of the guarantee option? And if Apple does more in stock iPhone 4s, which are going to be my options going forward and how much will I have to pay?

    If the Apple store has is with them, they should be able to change

    However, if this is not available the only option you have is to fix by yourself in a mobile store

    It would cost around $45 à $55 the entire screen needs to be replaced with screen

  • Re: My HP spectrum XT screen has been cracked!

    Yet once I had the same problem. Just shut the laptop after completing my work, and when I opened another day, touch screen on the right side of the laptop just stopped working. Then I found a crack in the lower right part of the laptop.

    I was wondering if it really happened as if by magic, but then tried to get this problem on the internet. And voila, there are 9 pages of forum more very similar positions.

    I was happy with this laptop Spectrex360, it worked flawlessly. Now I feel robbed, because it is almost new, 4 months. Our local service center has not even tried to chat and instantly said that cracks in the screen are not under warranty. How can I convince them that I in fact only closed and reopened it?

    Any ideas?

  • Tecra W50 - Has R/W - speed and performance

    Hi, received the new Tecra W50 - a and have to say I'm gutted with the speed and performance.

    8.1 we partitioned the drive 50-50 and the reading/writing is terrible. If I copy from C: to D: I lucky to get 10 Mbps

    Copy from or to external Sata I get more of 50mbps and around the same by ethernet.

    I got rid of the partition and tried to copy locally and get the same result.

    The Task Manager displays disk to 100% performance all the time and I can't do with my machine while copying going on.

    Copied 2gig file 1 and it happens in seconds. Try a folder with a few thousand of files and everything grinds to stop.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated

    Type of drive is MQ01ABD100H 1 TB and I have 3 machines to do the same thing

    There is an SSHD (SSD hybrid drive) a combination of SSD and HDD.
    SSHD performance depends on the cache controller (SSD).
    Why?
    The flash cache is used for the most used data... the special controller must decide what data will be loaded into the cache.
    But the SSHD needs some time to 'learn' data that uses the cache and the write speed at the beginning would be similar to the common HARD disk.
    After some time this performance will increase and the SSHD should reach the higher writing speed.
