Chosen Solution My screen is damaged-can it be replaced by me as a novice and if so, where do I find the part numbers and what tools and guides do I need? Or is there a service available where I could send in my laptop and have the screen replaced for a fee? Sure you can do it. It’s rated as a moderate difficulty repair. Here’s the guide: MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150 Display Assembly Replacement Here’s the part: MacBook Pro 15" (Model A1150) Display Assembly

Chosen Solution I have a launch day switch from 2017. I had plugged a computer charger into it and it showed an X near the charging logo and said “unable to charge”. I must stress that it was charging earlier in the day until I plugged the charger in. Now when I plug it in, nothing happens, it turns on but shows the dead battery logo. Please help!

Chosen Solution Does anyone know where to buy? Best Regards Tom We need to know exactly which machine you have. There are different adhesive packages and strips for the different sized machines. You would also do well to get the little tool to cut the old adhesive so you don’t go to deep and damage components. Go here and enter the serial number from the back (in fine print) and let us know which machine you have,http://www....

Chosen Solution Canon Pixma MX 310 Where do I find the new ink absorber pads and how do I replace them @franfritz on most Canon printer you start by opening the lid on your printer. Let the ink or toner cartridge slide completely out of the way. You will now have free access to the waste ink absorber. Detach the waste ink absorber by pulling gently on its rubber frame. Pull it away from the printer to remove it completely....

Chosen Solution Dropped my phone. After which I can no longer make/receive phone calls or texts because I no longer have reception. No bars on display. Just sits in emergency mode. Is the antenna a replaceable part? Where is it located? Or if anyone has advice on what else to do please let me know. I have my phone disassembled but don’t see any physical damage. Hi @ryguy43 , Most probably the BT won’t work either as it uses the same antenna as the WiFi, as both operate on the 2....

Chosen Solution Worked fine, then: searching for satellites forever. Everything else is working. Updated software, chipset, downloaded new maps, reset it dozen times, put it outside away from buildings for a day and it is still somewhere in Kansas. Any help? Why not try this. Perform an update using Garmin’s WebUpdater. Update to the newest version and also update the “Chipset M” which can be selected as an additional update after the firmware has finished updating....

Chosen Solution Hello, I went to the store to purchase I nylon brush for general cleaning purposes (game consoles/PCs cases). Along with the nylon brush came a stainless steel and brass brush. I was just wondering if there were any advantages to using either of those two brushes on anything? Are either of them particularly better for certain things? Thanks, Trevor Corbin Hello Trevor The advantages of the nylon brush is that its more delicate than the metal brushes....

Chosen Solution Hi, Attempted to install OS Sierra, installation hung at grey screen. Rebooted to kernel panic and boot loop eventually ending with ø (Circle with line through). Won’t boot into safe mode. Can boot into recovery mode, but can’t see anything other than the recovery partition in disk utility. Made a USB bootable installer, booted from that, but again, could only see the recovery partition. Can’t use backup or install sierra again because there is nowhere to install it....

Chosen Solution I recently had my iPhone screen replaced after cracking it significantly. The man who repaired it said he saw my some water damage inside, but my phone had been functioning fine so I didn’t think it was a problem. This was about a month and a half ago. For the past few weeks, when I plug headphones into the auxiliary port, the volume will change on its own at random intervals, and sometimes the sound will cut in and out....

Chosen Solution Alright yesterday morning while i was in my gallery scrolling through a pic, my phone just hung. like it wouldn’t even respond to the power button when i tried to lock the screen. so i tried to reboot it by long pressing the power button and it stuck on the google logo screen. then shut down on its own. now it won’t respond to charging , or even a hard reset (oh boy i held that power button for at least 5 minutes once) it will occasionally show me a light of hope and get to the “Your software Cant be checked for corruption…bootloader unlocked” and maybe even the google logo screen....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, excuse the long post but I am trying to give as much detail as possible and hope someone knows the answer to this. So today I tried to replace the smashed screen on my buddy’s iPhone 7 Plus. Mind you I am not a professional and don’t have a business but like to dig around in technology. I did follow a guide very carefully and I am sure that I connected everything correctly and did not break anything in the process with the below exceptions....

Chosen Solution I have a 2009, 8 core Mac Pro, until a couple of nights ago it was running fine, then no video. On starting up, it chimes, you can hear hard drives working. My FW800 external drives all flicker as normal while they mount; ditto my G-Speed eSATA external array , my USB scanner and printer each make the usual noises, suggesting USB bus OK too. My desktop monitor is DVI, I tried connecting to my monitor in the living room using a DVI - HDMI cable, no difference, double checked my desktop monitor by connecting my laptop - monitor OK....

Chosen Solution My phone accidentally dropped in the toilet and I placed it in rice and left it for a bit; now, so far the little LED light is blinking, however I don’t want to touch it in fear of further damaging the phone. What should i do? Take it to your local phone repair drop box for example in a grocery store

Chosen Solution I bought my phone in 2014 and suddenly battery drains A LOT faster than usual. But i’m not sure whether this problem is related to battery or logic board. :( Considering your phone is nearly 3 years old, I would change the battery first. If you have a Mac, download coconutBattery to test your battery. On a PC, download 3uTools. Look at the design capacity or design maximum charge....

Chosen Solution So a couple days ago, I traveled from chilly New York weather into very hot weather in Costa Rica. Shortly after I arrived in Costa Rica, my phone started getting very hot after me just using snapchat for a mere 5 minutes. It got so hot it hurt to hold and then the screen went black. I knew the inside lf the phone was still working because I’d plug it in and it would make the sound or I’d flick the ringer and it would buzz....

Chosen Solution I have a Navibot VC-RL84VR from Korea and it only speaks Korean with its voice announcer. Does anyone know how to switch it to English? @salaguste there is no language menu etc. The only way would possibly be through a firmware update. Samsung uses a proprietary connector on the Navibot and a proprietary cable etc. So no way for a DIY’er to change the language but possibly a local repair center has access to the needed hardware and software for an upgrade....

Chosen Solution iPhone X (ATT) model had a cracked back glass that was pretty extensive and missing some pieces of the glass. This was the only damage to the phone; however, the phone worked just fine for the last six months. Recently, the phone is unable to get any cellular signal. This appears to have happened overnight.
