Chosen Solution Hello, can the screen be replaced without changing the entire top assembly? I mean, can you replace jus tthe lcd screen? I’ve recently replaced a display on an inspiron 13. I forget the specific model. If it’s anything like that which it looks like it should be. Yes you can. You’ll have to remove the display from the main body of the laptop. After that you should be able to use a pry tool to carefully separate the halves of the display housing....

Chosen Solution So recently I got a apple watch series 5 from a friend and asked me if I could fix it. The watch just never turned on or showed any sign of charging. I wanted to come here and ask if you guys think it is a battery or a motherboard issue? I mean, Its brand new but has not been charged for 3 years. Last night I plugged it in and still no signs....

Chosen Solution Hi all, My Xbox One is suddenly not turning one. I can hear the beep, but it is very soft. Same with the disc eject. Power brick has an orange light showing. Have tried multiple different reset options shown here, but nothing. I don’t THINK it overheated, all the vents are clear of dust, its well ventilated (when it was still working!), has not been wet or bumped. Really need to get this working if possible, has all our subscribed services on it, nevermind the games and the game disc still inside!...

Chosen Solution My fuji finepix s4300 lcd screen stays white what should I fix? Hi @jameslk2131 , Try taking a picture and download it to a computer and check if the picture is OK or if there is just a black image or even if you can access the camera OK. I realize that you cannot “see” what you’re taking in the camera’s LCD screen but this is just to test if the problem is with the LCD screen only or with the camera’s motherboard....

Chosen Solution Hey so I just recently recieved my replacement kit from ifixit and 20 minutes ago replaced the screen now everything is looking nice, but the front mic isn’t working I tried using Siri to open an app and it doesn’t seem to be working, I have replaced a couple of iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 before so I’m familiar with the insides of the iPhones now I’m wondering why my mic isn’t working, I blew really hard onto the front speaker/mic and siri does seem to pick up the air being blown onto it, so I’m guessing the mic might be covered by something?...

Chosen Solution The “pictures remaining” number does not decrease after taking a picture. Continue taking pictures; the camera is operating normally. The camera estimates the number of pictures remaining after each picture is taken, based on the file size of the photo.

Chosen Solution Got a Suzuki FA50 30 years ago, put 900 miles on it and storaged. Few days ago took it out got a new battery put some gas but it wont start. Any idea? Disassemble and clean the carburetor. Check careful for damaged gaskets and clogged jets. Also see if the engine cranks over cleanly. If in doubt, take it apart and give everything a thorough inspection and cleanout. Missing gakets you can easily make yourself with heavy paper and a 2 stroke engine is rather straightforward to strip and rebuild....

Chosen Solution Ok, i know all the standard reasons NOT to do this (wire an additional pair of speakers into the HU) in the traditional way, but after a bit of googling i havent found anyone mentioning the following: can i take the amp from an unused HU, wire it to power and use it to power the two additional speakers? I mean, IN MY HEAD this seems a reasonable thing to attempt …....

Chosen Solution I have a black screen on my iMac 20" mid-2007. What happened was that I just installed windows 7 professional on the partition which works fine. Then, I tried to install the driver from a disk which comes with the windows 7 installer. After I started the installation process, the screen suddenly went black and I got a message on a small yellow background that says “error…” and then it went completely black....

Try booting up with your install disk and go to the utility tab and “Disk Utility” If it comes up and sees the drive it may just need to be repaired....

Chosen Solution I am trying to install a New Jensen aftermarket stereo in a 2014 Ford Fusion SE. I have all the pieces necessary for a 4” to 8” conversion. My only problem with this install is finding the proper connectors to go from the aftermarket unit to the factory wiring harness, as I do not want to cut the factory connectors off. Does anyone on this forum have any idea where I could purchase the two connectors necessary to do this the correct way?...

Chosen Solution Recently was given a broken MBP A1226. Took laptop apart covered MB w/aluminum foil and heated the graphics card and now am able to use the computer. Purchased a brand new 85w power cable/cord, installed a brand new airport card, and 2x 2GB SDDR RAM upgrades.

Chosen Solution I am trying to replace the battery in my iPhone - but I don’t have the steel dental pick suggested in the teardown. Any ideas what I could use? I used the metal spudger which was too big and a paperclip which was too soft. A small fork works. Try a little cocktail fork with two prongs. Would a sewing needle cut it? I haven’t tried, but they tend to be quite rigid if you get a large one....

Chosen Solution Based on the diagnostic LEDs I may have a bad PSU, however before I drop $140 on a new one I would like to be sure it is not the logic board. Diagnostic LEDs LED #1 is on when the power cord is connected.LED #2 comes on briefly as the machine appears to try to be starting itself (without the power button pressed) once I connect the power cord....

Chosen Solution Just upgraded my MacBook with the 1TB OWC SSD, but on recovery mode start, after running through the spinning globe program and everything, I’m getting this box alternating between the two images shown here, which I don’t understand in the slightest. Could anyone enlighten me and tell me how I can start my computer up to actually work with this upgrade? Btw I have my original SSD in the Envoy external drive, connected to the USB port at the moment...

Chosen Solution Question on RF module in XBox 360 E: to disable RF emission / reception, is it sufficient to remove the RF chip on the module, or should the WHOLE RF module be removed? Is there anything else RF-related on the module apart from the actual chip? Thanks for any advice. I am just a student working on these repair guides, but to the best of my knowledge, that RF module is the only RF related device in the Xbox....

Chosen Solution In the picture attached there is a connector in the largest of the two yellow rectangles that I am afraid to remove without further instruction. Does anyone recognize the connector and know how to remove it? I need to remove it because I am in the process of replacing the right side fan, and the wires are in the way. Thank you. click on the image to zoom it...

Chosen Solution I recently replaced a keyboard for a 13.5” surface book 1 - ordered the part on ebay and it worked like a charm. Does a similar solution exist for a 15 “ surface book 2? I haven’t been able to find one.

Chosen Solution I’m performing a screen replacement for the Apple Watch Series 3. The glass was shattered so I removed the glass and adhesive from the LCD screen and reconnected the LCD screen (it worked). After gluing the LCD screen to the digitizer and reconnecting the battery, the screen no longer works. I think the ribbon cables connecting the screen to the watch may be scratched (see attached images), or I may have applied too much adhesive....

Chosen Solution I followed your guide to replace the battery on my Kindle Fire HD 8. The “reverse order” wasn’t clear but with some research I thought I put everything in the correct place, including the orange strip that attaches to the screen. But the screen will not turn on. The tablet makes noises for notifications, charging and changing the volume, but the screen will not turn on. Are there any suggestions or more detailed fix it guides that you can give me?...
