Chosen Solution Further down the road since I originally posted this; I opened the computer, installed a new HDD, vacuumed out all kinds of dust and unplugged the vents, both by the blowers and also air intake at the bottom. Now the screen stays on longer, sometimes even for a whole hour. But it still does shut down intermittently. I did the flash light shining into the screen, and indeed, my stuff is still there, but very dark....

Chosen Solution I get SMART notices when trying to upgrade a late 2014 Mac mini as above to Monterey. That is, it won’t upgrade, because the installer reports SMART problems. (Backup, replace the drive etc.)If I replace the SSD things, will that fix the SMART issues? Yes, replacing the Hard Drive/Solid State drive with a new one should fix any SMART-related errors you are having.

Chosen Solution where is the oil filter on my murray riding lawn mower not all riding mowers have an oil filter. Knowing the model of the ENGINE as opposed to the model of the tractor will be able to get you a better answer of whether or not your specific murray has one and if so which replacement to purchase. Generally speaking, the smaller engines do not have an oil filter instead they rely on replacing the oil at more regular intervals....

Chosen Solution Is there a way for apple to know if I opened the case of my iPhone 3G or even a 3GS? I know there is a sticker, but other than that is there something in the OS or any other place that tells them I opened it? I don’t want to get blind sided at the apple store. Thanks in advance, Alex No not exactly. If you replace your screen or leave significant evidence of opening the phone they will see....

Chosen Solution I have an HP Envy x360 15m-bp111dx laptop. The LCD screen is cracked and I am going to replace it. The display is jumpy and acting flaky. I connected an external display and I can see the desktop, still jumpy and flaky and the keyboard and touchpad work intermittently. When I disconnect and remove the LCD screen, I lose keyboard/touchpad function altogether. I can connect an external USB keyboard and with the external display the desktop displays as it should with full keyboard function....

Chosen Solution Repairability is a big selling point for me when deciding what phone to buy, can anybody with experience say if they reckon the Pixel 6a would score a 6/10 as the Pixel 6 did? Hey, Innes I’m not an expert on smartphones, but I’d say the Pixel 6a would score a 6/10, possibly even a 7/10. It’s not extremely difficult to repair. So if you want my opinion: Yes, the Pixel 6 would score a 6/10 as the Pixel 6 did....

Chosen Solution After a software update, the iMac rebooted and hasn’t come on since. It’s been 6 wks now. I’ve tried unplugging and completely disconnecting everthing. Power button on and it acts like it is booting up, but then it goes to a grey apple screen with “loading” at the bottom. It stays that way forever! I also have a DVD in the computer and the “eject” button will not eject it....

Chosen Solution Hello guys, let me explain you what is going on. You all know, when you play a voice note/audio on whatsapp you will listen the audio coming from the loudspeaker, but when you put your phone on your ear you would listen the audio coming from the earpiece speaker. The thing is, yesterday I replaced the LCD because the outter glass was broken; now the audio from whatsapp is always playing out from the loudspeaker, even when I put it close to my ear....

Chosen Solution I have a Craftsman mower with a 16hp Kohler motor. It is getting gas in the oil. Any ideas on where to start looking ? test the compression should be in the 70 to 75lb range . anything lower and you have a bypass issue and this could be your entry point any gas left unburnt in a cylinder will leak into the crank case or you could have bad valve guides which is another place gas can enter....

Chosen Solution Hello, I specify that I am a beginner in micro-welding. However, am I the only one with so many problems that prevent me from repairing? I am currently working on a PS5 motherboard, the problem is that the soldering of the HDMI port is bad (so to redo). I try to desolder the port with a hot air station, but the solder flatly refuses to melt! I tried with several temperatures ranging from 300°C to 450°C, without forgetting to preheat the card....
