I have a MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 Ghz 4 GB ram 120G HD
Has been working flawlessly for near 3 years , 4 months ago I replaced the HD with a new one of the same due to errors.
Working on it last night and was working fine then I heard an audible click and felt on the keyboard what felt like a light pencil tap and the screen went black and at the same time the light in front of the computer that normally indicated sleep mode came on but it came on steady , It refused to (wakeup) . I shut down the computer holding the power key Many times , Removed the battery , Restarted the computer many times and it always returns to the same condition . Light on steady , black screen. I even tried to boot from a external HDD with OS 10.4.9 , Same condition. The backlight flashes on for a split second every time I restart . then goes off.
I can replace anything that goes bad on this computer but I cannot afford to throw money into parts not knowing what is actually bad . I have no way to test . Warrentee is out now .
I am thinking logic board , Maybe inverter

I do not want answers from PC nuts
I would like a reasonable answer from someone that knows MacBooks
If you know something for me to try , Let me know
If you know how to test something , Let me know
In way of reply , I am not familiar with a PRAM Zap, Hold till it chimes ?
I did hold the power button until it flashed the sleep indicator light rapidly . ( something that was suggested )
Never spilled anything on the computer , I have a special slanted rolling desk with only room for the computer to prevent temptation of setting any drinks down near the computer . I dont know if it would be worth a Logic board as I might just get a new one . The logic boards I have seen have been $500 but I might consider upgrading to the 2.4Ghz if it would fit in the same case .
By the way , it is a 13.3 inch MacBook I was considering a new palm rest as the current one has a small ***** in the lower right edge from trying to pry up . Minor but not expensive to replace
Also Do you know about the places that through E-Bay repair Logic Boards ?, Usually around $200
Try them or stay away from them ?
Would love to chat about this

Getting major bounce back from many different email servers. I am not on any spam list either. In all the research I have done, the common idea is that it is an internal configuration problem. I have told this to my ISP, they still cant find a problem.

Does anyone have any experiance in fixing this. I have paying clients that must get my emails and newsletters and they are not getting them now due to this 554 error.

Open to any advise that is truly useful.

Since the email address I got with my broadband was impossible to remember (it was similar to, but not HDV1675385G before the @ symbol) I bought my surname as a .com so I could be firstname @ lastname . com.

Well, right now I’m getting about 1000 bounced spams every day, since the slime buckets have hijacked my domain name and are sending out their junk emails with my email address as the ‘from’ field.

Is there any way to stop them doing this?

Whenever I try to check my mail, I get this message: Safari can’t open the page “http://us.f520.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=91naeebul7o0u” because it could not connect to the server “us.f520.mail.yahoo.com”. Does anyone know what’s going on, or when it’s expected to be fixed? Is it bouncing emails people are sending me?

I have created a basic telephone database at work, i have noticed that the file size is a lot bigger than another database a friend has created, which has huge amounts of information in it, very complex with loads of tables, queries and data in it.
What could i have done wrong, do you compact them down or something?
When trying to email this file home, it bounces back saying the file is too large, yet the huge database file has no problem? (this is when i realized the difference in file sizes)

I registered my debit card as a back up payment to a direct debit I set up with my internet provider. After atrcious service from them I have migrated and my new service came online today. As I am paid up on the old service up to 27/10/09 I cancelled my direct debit. However when I tried to remove the backup card details their system wouldnt let me. I spoke to them on the phone and they informed me that until the new company emails them to say that we have gone live with them, we are still ‘live’ with the old company and so we will get charged if the new company does not tell them in time.

I told them on the phone, well my new conection is live, remove my card details and mark my account as closed – they would not – So I have had to cancel my card with the bank.

My question is, why do you not retain full controll of your own money. If I wish to remove an authorisation to charge my debit card surely that is my absolute right even if they claim I owe them money – It is only their claim after all..

I disgusting.

What gives?
Corey – what a useless answer why did you bother? As above they do not have their own rules

Anyone who actually knows the law on the debit card issue?
Teresathegreat – I am afraid your entirely wrong about direct debits

http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/ombudsman-news/27/27-directdebit-guarantee.htm

As you can see you have a right to cancel a direct debit at any time you so wish regardless of if a company claims you owe them money.

My question was as this is clearly a right you have with direct debits why do you not have the same right with your debit card..for your card to be charged you have to give authrority, that is correct, but I would also expect that you have a right to withdraw such authrority as you wish -Someone claiming you owe them money should again be irrelevent once you have withdrew authorisation – they are of course welcome to take you to court if they believe you owe them money.
G.Wilkers > It would seem to me (based only a common sense view of what ownership of your bank means) that you are correct – that one can withdraw authority to charge a debit card as one wishes – However do you have any source for this or is it just your common sense view like mine? Ultimately the law is what counts not what banks or companys have to say

I’m getting snailmail from people unable to email me because messages bounce back, and I’m not getting responses from important messages I send. Someone is too busy blocking my messages. How do I report this to Yahoo? How do I fix it?

I have a blackberry Pearl, but do not have the blackberry service. (I just use it as a regular phone.) I have tried on several occassions to download a ringtone from the AT&T website (my provider), but I never a receive the text message to continue. I have text messaging – just not the blackberry email messaging. What am I doing wrong, or can I even download ringtones without the service?

In the last couple of days, messages by myself and another member have been rejected because they supposedly contain a virus. The other members was marked as potentially spam and put into a pending list, but mine just bounced. I know for a fact that my email client sends only text so couldn’t contain a virus.
