Chosen Solution A friend of mine bought a broken 27" imac. It Powers on, chime sounds, backlight Turns on nut no image. So let’s open it up shall we? I was suspecting the radeon 5750 tot be faulty but then I noticed that someone had already been fooling around. One of the smd component underneath the lvds connector was Ripped of. I guess by removing the gpu. They probably scraped it with the bracket of the videocard....
Chosen Solution I bought a defective New 3DS thinking it would be a fun puzzle to try to fix. I bought it with the description of “black screen blue light.” When I first booted it, I got a black top screen, but surprisingly, the bottom screen turned on—only the LCD displayed pale and almost green hued, with a damaged patch. That told me a few things. First, it wasn’t a soft brick....
Chosen Solution A few months ago my PS3 went belly up after finishing up watching a movie on blu-ray. (Terminator: Salvation for the curious) I have what is colloquially known as the YLOD, or the Sony version of RROD. I hadn’t even heard of this kind of failure in the PS3 until it happened to mine. So what exactly causes this hardware failure? From what I could understand from reading other forums and complaints it stems from an overheating issue from the unit....
Chosen Solution As the title says, I have two 4.5 volt LED light strips (each one originally ran off 3x1.5 AA batteries). Can I use one 9 volt AC-to-DC power supply (wall wart type) to power these? If so, do I wire these lights in series, or parallel? Thanks! Keep your 9V AC adapter. Connect your LED strips in series. Use a resistor from your adapter to the LED strips. You do need to know what LED’s you have and how many....
Chosen Solution I am looking to upgrade the iMac to 32 GB of RAM, but most of the kits I see seem to be 2400 MHz, intended for the retina model 21.5” from this year. It should be fine to use the faster speed in this model, correct? Please tell us the exact machine you are referencing. OR You can look it up yourself here: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/… UPDATE RAM Type:PC4-17000 DDR4*Min. RAM Speed:2133 MHz Details:Apple reports that this model ships standard with 8 GB of “2133 MHz DDR4 onboard memory....
Chosen Solution Hello, my iPhone 5s has suffered water damage a few days ago. I let it dry on room temperature. On Saturday I opend it to clean the logic board with 97% Isopropanol. I also cleaned all connectors. After I removed the logic board, I removed the EMI shields with my hot air station on 330°C. On the back side with the large EMI shield, I saw some stain from the water....
Chosen Solution Hi A month ago my iMac 27" i7, 2Gb late 2012 hade a problem with its GPU (different color vertical lines all over the screen). I called apple support and they told me that i hade to replace the whole logic board (since the GPU is solder to the Logic board). I went online an bought a new logic board for a late 2013 iMac 27" i7 2GB, i missed that it was sold without a CPU....
Chosen Solution Hello, my problem is that the phone does not turn on. I was using the phone with low battery, I tried to connect it to the socket but it did not get charge. The red led was off and the icon of battery did not change. When the indicator had 0% the phone turned off and never works again. I replaced the usb connector multiple times after that but when I connect to the socket the red led does not appears....

Chosen Solution Brv-x has power on issue. Turns on fine and works normal when plugged in but dies when unplugged. Herege’s the odd part, if while on and plugged in I can use my adjustable charger to reduce the incoming voltage down from 12v to 7.5v, the device continues to work and can then be unplugged. It cannot be turned on without 12v external power ( 7.5v won’t turn it on, nor will just battery power) and it can’t be unplugged while receiving 12v external power or it instantly cuts off altogether( 7....
Chosen Solution Fan worked fine last year. Just tried it this year and it shows no sign of operation. Changed fuse and have stripped down fan but every part seems to be a sealed unit. Any ideas? I’d suggest disassembling it further — you’ve probably got a power supply problem. Maybe a bug crawled into it. Use some more… aggressive… disassembly techniques. It’s not working now, so you’ve got nothing to lose!...
Chosen Solution I have a 08 Chevy trailblazer when I’m in park my rpms will rev up and then go back down. If it is sudden like it is jolting, you may have a faulty throttle position sensor (TPS). Most of the time it will show a check engine light if the tps has fully failed, however if it is just beginning to fail it may not show a check engine light....
Chosen Solution My laptop runs great as long as it is plugged in, and left on. If it gets turned off or unplugged it will not turn back on.

Chosen Solution You have a failed Nvidia GPU chip, this series had a lot of problems with this chip. Sadly, its time for a newer system ;-{ I have had some luck with doing a reflow of the chip with a hot air work station. You can get a cheap one such as this, try it then resell it on ebay if you have no further use for it. You might even be able to call a tool rental place....
Chosen Solution Screen stays black. Some times the screen tries to show when pressure is applied. Goes black as soon pressure is released. Pressure does not always work on the screen. Does the lcd screen need to be replaced? Or is this a mother board problem? I have the same problem. If I apply pressure at the back of the tablet then sometimes it comes on. Now it even worse. I think it could be a pcb problem, a short in one of the traces on the board....
Chosen Solution Camera turns on but does not take pictures. Everything works except taking pictures. Screen works for displaying various functions, but turns black the moment lens extends and opens. Pressing silver button does nothing. I simply cannot see any images through the lens on my screen. Nor does shutter within lens mechanism click. Could it still be a lens problem? Or some other other electrical part that will not let my screen light up for taking a picture?...
