Chosen Solution I have a Samsung LN46A550P3FXZA 46 inch LCD TV. Screen shows a cloth-like image until the picture arrives on the third cycle. Capacitors appear fine, no doming on top Bad capacitor. My Samsung TV ln46b750u1fxva takes a while to power up the light blinks and then comes back on If you have replace the caps on the main ps board, then you may need to replace a cap on the controller board…and possibly a chip....

Chosen Solution Hello , My Samsung tv (PN51D6500DF ) keeps cycling ON and OFF. When I turn it ON, it goes till ‘Smart TV’ boot up sequence, then it blinks quickly and then couple seconds later, turns OFF. From the start till turning off the LED upfront blinks 5 times. Thanks for the help @Viraj and @tiiguy all of this sounds more like a bad processor on the main board. Of course you have unplugged your TV, disconnected every input source and then held the power button down to discharge the capacitors....

Chosen Solution @mayer @oldturkey03 @rany I have searched for schematics for this device. But I can’t seem to find them, and I don’t have them on zxw. Any advice or just straight up got em? It was water damaged, cleaned in ultrasonic. When the daughter board isn’t connected. The fan runs. But when the daughter board is in the circuit, won’t do anything. Either some advice or hopefully a schematic to track it down....

Chosen Solution I plugged my phone in to charge overnight and then woke up to this. Does not boot when i try switching it off and on again. Have removed the battery and put it back in. Have opened it up and reseated the screen connecter. Is it an easy fix or will i need to book it in for board level repairs? Rainbow colors as in all the pixels individually are random colors on the screen?...

Chosen Solution Hi all, I have a ds lite that has a broken hinge which make the top half very floppy. I have to hold the screen up with ‘back support’ to make it work, else the screen goes black. Is it a problem with the hinge, or a problem with the ribbon cable inside the hinge, or even something else entirely? The only thing I could think of really being associated with the hinge is the ribbon cable....

Chosen Solution I have unintentionally done a job on my 3DS touch screen over the years (between alcohol lens wipes and gameplay). I dread needing to replace it but before I do is there an alternative to fix the scratches on it? ya dude screens plastic u can heat weld it with a little heat or u can use an epoxy weld it or u can even do a disk repair kit on it and it will fill in the cracks lol i use to do that all the time with Nintendo DS’s and varus other retro systems

Chosen Solution My SEGA Master System has a audio/video problem, that always requires consistent fiddling around with the audio/video cables/connectors both on the television and the game console itself. What should I do? Replace the AV cables.

Chosen Solution I have changed the shell and sticks on the joy cons ages ago following the guides and they both work perfectly except that the lights don’t come on anymore. I’m now trying to get into pairing mode to connect to an ipad and there’s no indication that it’s in pairing mode and the ipad is not recognising them. Any ideas? or do i need to get back inside the joy con?...

Chosen Solution I’m in need of some help with my girlfriend’s MacBook Air. I have searched extensively but nobody seems to have all of the symptoms. As soon as the system starts, the fan start to work at 100% speed, everything is slowed down (likely the CPU is being throttled). But, when I open activity monitor CPU is around 90-95% idle. Same goes for RAM and Disk usage. Thermal sensors indicate 38-40 Celsius and the system is not even warm to the touch....

Chosen Solution It’s a small blue flashing box in the lower left corner @Sedrica Brown , Yes the picture is there OK. Have you tried to power reset the TV, you didn’t say? If not, turn off the TV if it is on and then switch off the wall power outlet (if it has an On/Off switch) and remove the TV power cord from the power outlet Wait for about 5 minutes and then plug the TV power cord back into the wall outlet (switch it on if it has an On/Off switch) and then turn on the TV and check if the problem is still there or not....

Chosen Solution Getting Error P2a03 from the OBD guage. We’ve had the O2 sensors checked, and they all seem functional. Mechanic thinks it needs new gaskets. Any thoughts? This post from a Nissan Z forum seems to say that it was in fact a faulty O2 sensor. If you read the replies someone does mention something about a gasket, but that it was for a P2A00, not P2A03. The original poster there had an incident where he scraped the bottom of his car....

Chosen Solution I am interested in starting a small home-based business doing basic repairs like screen replacement, batteries, etc. I do not have any experience in this so I would start small and want to focus just on Iphones until I learned what I was doing. Question is how is the best way for me to learn and gain experience? Is there any purpose in going all the way back to Iphone 3 and 4, or should I limit myself to just later phones?...

Chosen Solution I have a samsung TV model QN32Q50RAFXZA and the semi translucent piece of material in between the backlight and the lcd panel which I assume is a diffuser and or polarizer has faded streaks on it making those areas more translucent than the rest which results in a streak through the image. The diffuser panel is a drop in replacement that attached to a couple hooks. To no avail I’ve been unable to find even a part number so I can try to replace it....

Chosen Solution My Mac Pro is a 2007 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Recently picked it up really cheap. I was hopefully I could use the stack of SAS drive’s I’ve accumulated. It came without a RAID card so I picked one up on eBay and replaced the spent battery. The card is recognized and the RAID Utility reports the card is good, battery is charged and write cache is enabled but all my icons are greyed out and it does not see SAS drives when installed....

The red standby light is on when its plugged in but the tv won’t turn on. The reset seems to do nothing, unplugging and replugging does nothing, and the light just stays solid red (no blinking, green or blue light)....

Chosen Solution Long time reader, but made a new account for posting. This is our first Christmas as a married couple. My wife has wanted an Apple Watch for years. It’s the perfect present. We always set a budget for presents so it doesn’t become one-upping one another. A new Apple Watch is way over budget, but we buy used gifts for one another on occasion to make the budget (she bought me a PS4 last year this way)....
