Is it easy? Depends on the camera. The broken part is not actually the switch, it is a piece of plastic which pushes the switch back and forth.

Since this gets hidden as a comment, I moved it here. Get all that dust & junk out of there! Yea! Use the freeze spray sparingly to lower the temp of a hot part 20F-30F degrees over a few seconds- you can do thermal damage blasting a very hot part with -30C (check the can for actual temp). One part at a time. I would steer you away from the cork. Silicon Sealer should work well. Give it a few days to cure, it outgasses bad. Working with liquid gasket is hard and messy. I suggest building a gasket using the loose part, a tube of silicon gasket (shower caulk is probably OK even, as long as it is silicon), a very flat surface, and wax paper. Prop the cover up so it does not crush the silicon. Make sure you use the waxy side of the wax paper - the wax stays on the silicon, the paper comes off, and you have a gasket. Clean the wax off before you glue it down or place it on the PC board. Try to make the new seal the same thickness as the old seal. If you need an adhesive, use a bit more silicon - it will come off, ...

First thing to try is resetting the power management chip. Apple says: "The Power Manager is an integrated circuit (computer chip)...on the logic board of the PowerBook and iBook" Unplug power, remove the battery, hold the power button down for 10 seconds. Put the battery back in, plug in to power, turn on (single press of the power switch). If that fails, onward! There is a chance that the battery is helping to cause the problem. Any chance you could borrow another battery to try? Replacing the battery, or, even better, having it "re-celled". I can not find the link at the moment, I had one for a place which recells Mac batteries...

Go Maria! You have to get your hands dirty for this. Honestly, it is a bit of an undertaking. Hazardous fluids, grimy grease, you make not get all the oil off your hands for weeks. Buy some thin rubber gloves at the auto-parts store to prevent messin' up your hands too bad, they run about $2 a pair. If you have the Honda Shop manual, read the section on replacing the thermostat, and ignore anything I say which contradicts that. Honda knows best. About 1% of owners buy the factory shop manual, which can save many $1000s in repair bills... But the internet is, at times, better than a factory shop manual. Please read ALL of this before you start. Preferably twice, since some parts will make a lot more sense the second time. . INTRO Estimated time. If you have never done this, or any other work on your own car, this will probably take 4-6 hours. Be careful and safe. Eat before and during, you need your brain at full speed. DO NOT EAT THE COOLANT! IT IS POISON! If you do tune-ups on your car on a regular basis, th...

(code) There is something fishy in your OS, or the HD is getting cranky. Until we can boot the machine, it is hard to sort this out! ___________________ Try booting into Verbose mode so we can learn more. To boot up in Verbose mode: Reboot and hold down both <control> and V. Write down the last few lines of the humungus text output, and tell me about it here by editing your question, or by adding a comment to your question or to my answer. If I can not see anything obvious at the end of the boot log output, you may want to zap the PRAM. And there could be RAM issues - maybe setting the ram test to run at boot would help - If we could boot and get to terminal. Maybe remote debug, also not setup, dang. ___________ You can not boot to the OSX Install CD, so that removes a number of options. You can not boot to an external firewire drive, so that removes other options.

(code) There is still something fishy in your OS, or the HD is getting cranky. Permissions may have been improperly altered during the OSX install, possibly combined with the PRAM being corrupted. To check for and/or cure this problem, boot from the OSX Install CD, and run Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, Select the hard disk drive in the drive list on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Then click on the Repair DIsk Permissions button near the bottom just left of center. ___________ SMARTReporter Verify that you do (or do not) have a S.M.A.R.T. ATA drive (System Profiler/Hardware/ATA/ATA Bus). This next part will require some reboots, I am assuming you can do it with the PRAM zap. If you have a SMART ATA drive, and you are running OSX 10.5, then install SMARTReporter, and see what it tells you. It should be able to detect any type of intermittent disk failure. ___________ OK, on to booting in Verbose mode so we can learn more about the failing boot process. To boot up in Verbose mode: Reboot and hold dow...

Assuming the metal disk you are talking about is the one pictured in this photo: MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Model A1211 Hard Drive Replacement No, the disk stays on the drive. Make sure your new drive is secure (not loose). Use software tools to watch your HD and processor temps. Any increase in one can drive an increase in the other.

You have a Dreamcast SNES disk? Try cleaning the lens of the Dreamcast with a CD lens cleaner. Worked for me. Cleaning your disk with mild dish soap, water, and a microfiber cloth also might help. I think we charge extra for telephone response. <grin>. I'm kidding! OK?

I found an internet discussion about disabling USB drives, and even for disabling USB entirely on OSX. If you have the option of using a Bluetooth KB & Mouse on that machine, this might be an option. Then again, it may prevent using USB devices, and still put up the alerts. It sounds like just moving or renaming IOUSBfamily.kext AND IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext may solve your problem. I am assuming IOUSBMassStorageClass will use IOUSBfamily, if not, then you may be able to leave IOUSBMassStorageClass in place. Look for Jul. 6, 2005 - Allan Marcus http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/... If that does not work, you could write an AppleScript deamon to dismiss the alert every so many seconds. Run the script at startup, headless (no GUI). The over-current alert comes up every 30 seconds, right? If I was willing to fry one of my USB ports/chips/regulators, I could write the script for you, but I am not. You have to turn on Enable GUI Scripting via AppleScript Utility to get AppleScript to control alerts... This i...

If you can play other games and movies OK, then it is possibly PlayStation Home (the software), or the PlayStation Home disk. Have you played/used Home before? If the disk worked before and does not work now, you may need to clean the disk. I use a microfiber cloth and cool (not hot) bottled water to clean my DVDs and CDs. I have never cleaned a Blu-Ray disk, but that should work as well or better, due to the harder surface on the Blu-Ray disks It is also possible that your PS3 lens is dirty - try cleaning it with either a CD lens cleaner disk, a DVD lens cleaner disk, or a Blu-Ray lens cleaner disk. If the disk is brand new, and you clean the disk and the PS3 lens, and you still have the freeze booting up Home, then try exchanging the disk for a new PlayStation Home disk. Here in the US, almost every store will exchange a new disk for free for 2-4 weeks after purchase when you have your receipt.
