Chosen Solution The throttle side works perfectly fine but on the joystick side, trigger button, pinkie button, fire a-b-c buttons and POVs are not working. Axis are working fine. I don’t know what is the problem, it showed up suddenly and these buttons are working sometimes but they are really rare moments. In my opinion its something technical, just like some connection problems between some cables. Because i tried the joystick on different computer with different USB ports and different drivers....

Chosen Solution Hi, I am making a presentation of how a typical electronic communication device such as an iPhone X is constructed. I do not have the budget to do an actual teardown of a telephone. Can I use the pictures from your website. I will give full credit to Fixit in my presentation material for the source. Thank you. Yes, you can!

Chosen Solution Can U RE-Boot The Phone Manually ?? To put the iPhone into recovery mode you must plug the iPhone into a computer with iTunes, after having iTunes open and the iPhone plug in, hold the power button (sleep) and home button until iTunes opens the recovery mode for the iPhone. If you need to restart hold the power button (sleep) and home until the iPhone reboots. Also the SIM Card my be damaged (all it take to destroy a SIM Card is a scratch on the chip) You can also setup the iPhone through iTunes hope that helps :)

Chosen Solution Hello I have been having this issue the past month. I have a PlayStation 4 that will randomly turn off as if somebody pulled the plug from it. When this happens I have to unplug everything from the PlayStation and wait 5-10 minutes. After this time I plug just the power cable in and cross my fingers that it boots. When it boots I can play for a little bit and then the cycle starts all over again....

Chosen Solution I can install the new battery to iPod Touch 5 Gen. But the polarity is wrong way. Must be the positive is on left side and the negative is on right side. I bought the new one, when they deliver and I open, the battery sign, negative is on the left side and the positive on right side. The battery flex has to loop into place so the polarity looks reversed....

Chosen Solution I recently had a buyer return an iPhone 7 due to the device displaying “No Service” all the time. I believed that it was the No Service issue common with the 7 as the model number of the phone matched the model number of the phones affected by the issue. The phone is still able to recognize a SIM card, displays the IMEI, and Cellular settings are not grayed out whenever a SIM card is in the phone....

Chosen Solution I recently smashed my iphone completely. switched the motherboard and replaced it from my Iphone X into another Iphone X at a local rep store. The Iphone says “Iphone is disabled, connect to Itunes”, but it will not connect to Itunes. it can charge though. i cant even enter DFU mode (it will just show “emergency call” tap (and the button with some basic information on me) or recovery mode....

Chosen Solution My PS3 60GB (CECHE01) recently stopped booting. I tried two new sets of cables, thinking it was my TV, but no luck. Next, I tried to access the Safe Mode/recovery menu, but still saw no output on the screen. I also tried Safe Mode on an old, composite input TV to rule out my primary TV—no love there either. A controller connected to USB will not register; it just blinks all four LEDs slowly....

Chosen Solution Ok, so i have a NV52 laptop. Whenever I use it, it gets really hot, the charger also gets hot, and it really hurts if I touch it. It also gets very loud, if i’m watching a movie or something, I can barely hear anything they say, because of the loud noise my computer makes. I cleaned the fan inside once and it was quiet for few days, but then it started again....

Chosen Solution I have a Maytag Bravos XL my dryer wont dry what can it be Hi, It could be a few things e.g. is it getting hot enough or is it turning off before the clothes are dry etc. Here’s the tech sheet for the dryer. Go to p.5 to see how to enter the diagnostic test mode for the dryer and check if there are any error codes displayed when you run the diagnostics....

Chosen Solution My head phone jack is stuck in my unit. How can I fix it? The free, plausible route: neodymium magnet (really powerful magnet) and a pair of pliers Free but a bit difficult: Most headphone jacks have an opening at both ends, so remove the back cover and anything obstructing the back of the jack and push out the plug with a bent paper clip Sure but costly route: GripStick Headphone Plug Extraction Tool Hope this helps!...

Chosen Solution Its not the battery, alternator, spark plugs, or starter. It starts sometimes and then doesn’t. My next step is electrical or voltage meter. Any suggestions? it ended up being a cylinder out my engine needs to be rebuilt. Also need a new ecu. Thank you all for your advice. Perhaps it is a vacuum leak? Vacuum leaks will cause the car to sound like it is going to stall or bog down a bit when idling....

Chosen Solution I have changed the motherboard of my macbook because according to the local technical service of Apple, it was damaged. I have disassembled and mounted it as indicated in the guide. Once mounted, I charged the battery (ok) and then I pressed the start button. I have observed that the screen turns on, the fan works, but does not start the operating system and only appears on the screen, the image attached....

If no reset, with phone off, try removing battery for a minute, reinstall battery and try holding power button in until phone boots up....

Chosen Solution Macbok Air 13" Mid 2012 Repair Whenever I put my system on it takes time to boot, usually shows the beach ball repeatedly for long when in the middle of operations. I don’t know what might be the cause, I need help. With SSD’s free space is also needed so the drive evenly wears. At this point I would recommend you create a bootable USB thumb drive so you can boot up under it to run Disk Utility - Disk First Aid....

Chosen Solution my vizio m3d460srp 3d tv comes on but but no display i can see the menu but very faint i also can see the glow through the back of the tv in a dark room larry, “see the menu but very faint i also can see the glow” means your backlight is out. This could be a PSU issue for simply not supplying enough power to your backlight. The next possibility could be the LED driver board itself....

Chosen Solution Hi, all. The passlock feature on my truck engages occasionally without cause, making me sit and wait out the 10-minute delay. This is always inconvenient and has the potential for being a safety hazard. Does anyone have an idea for how I can permanently disable this feature? Wow, it looks like there is a whole industry built around defeating the passlock. There are a few commercial devices like this one....

Chosen Solution My 2014 MacBook Pro Retina was recently written off due to damage. The SSD was recovered and contains all my data. I have a new 2018 MacBook and would like to get the data from the old SSD on to the new mac. I am attaching a picture of the SSD. I have had no luck with housing for it thus far. It is a 14 + 11 pin one as you can see....

Chosen Solution okay so I dropped my phone in water, I know, lame but here is what is going on: After I did that, I opened the phone up, placed it on rice for a few days. It turns on fine, it rings, I get notifications and for about 5 minutes, I was able to use it but then the touchscreen stopped working. It does not recognize touch at all. It did off and on for a few more times after that....

Chosen Solution Hi Recently, I had a problem with my Intel iMac (2Ghz - white case - late 2006). Exactly half of the screen went blank or with vertical lines - the rest of the system was operational and worked perfectly through an external monitor. I managed to source an old G5 with the same screen(same part number from LG) and (using an anti static wrist strap / mat etc.) bravely swapped the screen unit....
