Chosen Solution Just replaced my hard drive with a new one from ifixit, when running diagnostics it now shows no errors when previously it said there was a problem with the hard drive.

Chosen Solution Hey guys- I recently replaced my lightning port and can only now get 1X signal and only 1 bar. I get wifi just fine. I’ve reset network settings and hard reset the phone. When I replace the old parts, everything works as normal. I am on my fourth lightning connector all with the same problem. Put back in the old parts, boom, works great, I just can’t charge the phone....

Chosen Solution My old Sony Bravia KDL40U2000 served me superb in about 10 years but now stopped suddenly, No picture, no voice. Can not see to the menu or anything else. (The back light is OK). The unit reacts to the remote control, as can be seen on the blinking green LED. Tried factory reset (as per the original specific maintenance manual) - No avail. As I can not see anything, I do not know the state of the unit, but I tried several sources (HDMI, PC, SCART) for no avail....

Chosen Solution There is no image in the screen when opened to take a picture. I see an image in the top photo lens. @babs132 if your camera still takes pictures properly but you just cannot see them, it is possible that you have a bad LCD. Use this guide to check it and possibly replace it.

Chosen Solution Hi, I went to use my mac mini one day recently, to find that although still switched on there was no video output. I have tried two different adapters, three cables and three screens. I have tried resetting it by plugging it in with the power button depressed, and also holding the power button until the power light flashes rapidly and then the startup chime sounds. Is there anything else I can try before I replace the logic board?...

Chosen Solution Hi, has anyone experience with the removal and installation of the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphic card in the 24" iMac? I would like to replace mine and haven’t yet found an appropriate repair guide. Thanks, Tony Follow the guide for the 20 inch EMC 2133 and 2210. The differences between the 20 and 24 inch models are negligible. I replaced the graphics card (3 times!). After initial failure, the apple supplied replacement failed just inside the 90 day warranty period, the replacement for that was DOA, the third one is working OK....

Chosen Solution My macbook had a bad battery for a while (working at about 45% capacity), and a few weeks ago the machine just blacked out and wouldn’t boot up - even with the charger plugged in. I gave it to a repair service with experience with Macbooks, and they replaced the battery. But then when I needed to charge the laptop, charging would sometimes be really slow, saying it could take anywhere between 15-20 hours with 4-5 Watts (according to coconutBattery)...

Chosen Solution The CD does not spin. The laser unit and the spinner are brand new. What do I need to replace? I bought the entire disk unit that includes the motor of the spinner the laser lens and the cables included. The PSTwo has two door sensors. Nothing will spin if it thinks the door is open. The first and least likely to fail is a little black nub right above the power switch....

Chosen Solution Hi, Recently my TV won’t power on. There is no Red LED light. I have a feeling the TV received a power surge during a recent power storm.

Chosen Solution Whenever I open my computer the monitor gets a signal until I get to the point where I input my password etc and it just stops receiving signal If you are talking about the login screen then it sounds like a video driver or update problem. Try a Repair boot: Performing a Start-up Repair The first thing you can try is booting into the recovery environment, if possible, and then performing a start-up repair....

Chosen Solution Are the SSDs between these two models interchangeable? Even if it would run slower in the older model. Apparently, between 2015 Air and Pro models, they are. As I have a scratched up MBA with 512GB and a near-mint MBP, so I’d like to switch disks. The MBA Early 2015 has: “APPLE SSD SM0512G” Vendor: Apple Product: SSD Controller Physical Interconnect: PCI Link Width: x4 Link Speed: 5.0 GT/s Description: AHCI Version 1....

Chosen Solution I know it’s kinda old, but have been working fine until today, turned it on and got black screen after 5 minutes. Took the TV apart (back panel) to see if there was a normal fuse to replace. There is a fuse but it is fine. SO is there a scheme that i can search through to measure everything else for error? I have some experience about the electronics, been modifying xboxes and playstations a couple years ago....

Chosen Solution my ps3 slim bluray drive is not reading blurays. It reads dvds without an issue. So just replacing the bluray drive with the correct model will help?

Chosen Solution I bought a ds yesterday (and got ripped off) so I bought a charger for it because I thought it was dead, it charged all night while I was at work but, by the time I got home when I saw the ds was done charging it wouldn’t turn on at all, no noise nothing just blank (Edit: this poor thing was so dirty, no love to it what so ever, so I cleaned it up a bit, this thing look like it was tossed in garbage I added a photo to show tthesticky substance *I think soda go inside the battery and fried it...

Chosen Solution So long story short, it got chucked into my turtle tank by my nephew, and I am trying to see if it can be salvaged or if I need to just buy a new one altogether. I got it opened up just fine, the controller briefly turned on before dying and not able to charge up, and the board seems to have bits of what looks like corrosion around some of the connectors and soldered points on the board....
