Chosen Solution My screen is cracked and not functional. How do I replace it? Emma, Go to the attached links and click on the videos to see how a screen is removed and replaced. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX-FvikU… https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/mod… You can’t replace just the screen because the screen and LCD are glued together as a unit....

Chosen Solution My iPad 4 A1460 screen lifted, probably from the heat. I was no longer using it and didn’t notice. Can I fix it? Is it dangerous as I read it may be the battery? Hi Susan, The screens on iPads are glued down pretty well and the adhesive doesn’t usually fail so chances are something on the inside is pushing on the screen forcing it up away from the chassis....

Chosen Solution My smartband has been on charge for the past 3 days. It has not been used for a long period of time. I want to use it now but its not turning on. I tried putting it on charge but no response whatsoever. Hi, If the smartband has not been used or has not been kept charged for a long time then most probably the battery has become depleted beyond recovery and needs to be replaced....

Chosen Solution Good evening, after changing the screen of an iphone8 I noticed that the battery charge was stuck at 0% ,but the phone would stay on even when the recharge cable was disconnected for more than 2 hours. After an inspection of the motherboard I noticed that there was a missing component. Unfortunately my boardview doens’ t provide the name of the component. Do someone of you guys know it ?...

Chosen Solution Hi Been given an iPhone 5c which someone has attempted to replace the screen themselves, by the looks of it, they have bought a whole unit with the flex assembly built on, as the copper tape looks untouched/brand new. Anyway, 2 faults are lines going down the middle of the screen. And comes up with different errors when trying to recover (it’s stuck on the “plug into itunes”) The lines was simple, looks like a faulty screen, as I put a my own on there and it displays without the line....

Chosen Solution Laptop was dropped and now screen does not work. I can plug in an external monitor and I then have picture but nothing on the laptop screen. Hi, Here is a link to the service manual for your laptop. Scroll to section 4-23. Here it lists the part numbers for the various display assemblies available for the laptop. Once you have determined the correct part number for your particular model, search online using just the number to find suppliers of the part....

Chosen Solution Hello Fix it community. I decided to come ask you guys for advice on this Macbook because I have a strong feeling you will give me excellent guidance. I am working on a late 2011 A1278 Macbook. The hard drive is the original 500GB Seagate and it is failing. The Macbook will still boot but is extremely slow in doing so, but is still functional. The owners of said Macbook each have their own user profile and neither has backed up any of their data....

Chosen Solution Has Windows 10. Worked fine initially. Hooked it up to an external monitor via the mini HDMI jack and worked fine. When I unplugged the monitor the computer would no longer recognize the USB and the attachable keyboard will not work. The computer works fine with the touch screen and on screen keyboard, but I need the USB. Any suggestions? Thanks Vern try resetting the tablet . this video will help with that https://www....

Chosen Solution I have only noticed this now, but my rig acknowledges my present 10GBs of RAM (three sticks, two 4GB, one 2GB). but says only 3.96GB is usable, which would explain why gaming is a nightmare. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Lets start with the obvious , the sabertooth is a dual channel ramset so to use it properly there can only be 1, 2 or 4 sticks used ....

Chosen Solution The computer would turn on, screen powers on, Apple logo appears and the spinning wheel keeps on going round and round, would not boot into OS so I took it apart and tested the drive (which is a 240gb “Chronos” SSD) and connected it to my DELL just to see if it would appear in the BIOS. It did, so I assume the drive works or the OS is corrupt or there are more underlying problems with the SSD....

Chosen Solution I don’t know if you are the one to address this to but … I want to replace the back cover and the charger port board in my Nexus 7 LTE tablet. Both of these items are currently out of stock, I have left notification on the pages to be notified when they are available, but might you ( or the parts dept) have any sense as to when parts might become available?...

Chosen Solution Hi there! I accidentally tore my iPhone 4’s battery socket from the motherboard. I soldered a new one with solder paste. I have checked continuity between each pin and the corresponding test point, and it seems fine. Yet when I plug the battery back, and the charger, nothing happens. I have 2 clues of what might be wrong: when I plug the charger, without the battery, and measure voltage on pin 4, I get only 1....

Chosen Solution Dropped phone and it landed on the back but now the phone will not power on. What could be the problem? It would help to know what model the phone is but the two easiest things to try would be to disconnect the battery and plug it back in or to hold the power and or home button for 20 or so seconds in order to do a hard reset....

Chosen Solution Several folders in my picture collection have no pictures in them, but they have dates on them. Therefore I would assume there used to be pictures in them. Hi @sharryk , Navigate to the “empty” folders using Windows Explorer. Right click on one of the folders and select Properties. Check in the General tab what the “data” size of the folder is. If it shows data in the MB or even GB range the files are probably still in the folder....

Chosen Solution Hello, i am having a problem at the last time when i tried to replace the lcd of my old phone (that had water damage then i was replacing the parts damaged), at the first time with the old lcd the phone was working but i acidentally broke it (the lcd, not the connector) and i had to buy a new one when i connected it to the phone, the phone didnt turn on until i disconnected it so i started to check all possible solution like pressing the home and power button but nothing happen, literally the phone is dead but when i disconnect the new Lcd it came back to live (PS: The battery drains faster when the new lcd screen is connected, even if it is plugged in, the cell phone loses battery, i tried buying another lcd but the phone keeps doing the sma thing)(sorry for my grammar, i am not very good at speaking english)...

Chosen Solution Single sided printing works fine but duplex is always jamming. I clear the duplex tray but it just jams again. I own a Brother MFC-8910DW. It’s about two years old and has been a great printer. Until now! If a paper jam resulted in a torn sheet, or you tore a jammed sheet getting it out then there could be a scrap of paper in there somewhere, or even some other foreign object....

Chosen Solution my camera got dropped in a baby pool we put it in rice but it only somewhat worked until the battery died is it worth fixing do u think or should i just but a new one Hi, As you have found out, water and electronics and electricity are not a good mix. The water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the camera’s operating design and could damage the components....

Chosen Solution I just bought this phone and then i hard reset it Than any of my earphones and my headset and it won’t work so i was sure it ’s a port problem … Can you please help me ? Doesn’t sound software to me. Honestly, yes this is a real thing, sweat from your leg could cause this. Likely some amount of liquid damage. Sooo… Charger port repairs on these are reasonably difficult, as you need to remove the display to get in....
