Chosen Solution The vacuum works but the brush head does not turn. Also, the buttons to control the brush height do not work either. i have a dyson animal.. the older version of this vacuum…. when you turn it over there should be several “screws” that you undo with a coin, this will remove the cover over the brush heads. Ours frequently gets clogged with long strands of hair and string etc, this may be stopping the brush from turning....
Chosen Solution Hello. If anyone knows about older Apple computers, I need your help. I recently got an old Macintosh Powerbook 140. I have plugged it in, and when I power it on, I hear the startup sound, and the speakers emit a tone, but the screen displays nothing. I have checked for any visible damage, and there appears to be none. It may be of note that the computer hasn’t been used at all for the past 20 years....
Chosen Solution I dropped my Iphone SE, and took it to Staples for a new screen. They replaced it (although it took 2 times to get it “right”) . I noticed after leaving the store that the dictation function that I use for text messages seemed to work intermittently – some times missing the first couple of words, mostly only capturing 3 or 4 at a time.. It sometimes works to stop and turn the recording back on but for the most part it’s so hit or miss to be usable....
Chosen Solution This is very detailed, please read careully. I tore down my late 2008 iMac, & installed a new video card.

Chosen Solution Hi all, Been a bit stumped on this: a few months ago, my MSI GS63VR started dying the moment the AC adapter was removed, despite being fully charged on battery. I assumed this might be a faulty battery, so just recently replaced and installed, but no change. I’ve attempted to do an MSI battery calibration, but it just powers down the computer the moment I hit go, with no change after restart/recharge....
Chosen Solution Hi, I did get digitiser replacement. I connected digitiser cable connector to the socket. Suddenly, cable went off but cable connector stayed in the socket on the logic board. Any idea how to remove it safely please? Update (05/03/2017) Hi guys, Thanks for your advice. As you can see, English is not my first language. I try to modify my question and add pictures.. I’m a bit miffed, and it appears no one else answered this....
Chosen Solution sometimes the disc drive isn’t recognized by the console The Xbox 360 DVD drive is married to the console. You will need to repair the board or reprogram the replacement drive; the method to do it varies based on the firmware of the console, so there’s no clear way to do it I can recommend. You need to do this before going on Xbox Live, since a non-matching drive will result in a console ban and treat it as a modified console....
Chosen Solution Should I wear gloves during my repairs, I fixed a 5s screen with antistatic gloves on and the screen was acting funny( I was dragging the icons across the screen they fall in the middle of the screen) I reconnected the connectors without gloves and it worked perfectly You don’t have to wear antistatic gloves to replace iPhone screens. If you feel there is a lot of static electricity, you can wear an ESD strap....
Chosen Solution I’ve looked at multiple sources on this site and others and am still confused. The C5960 capacitor failing was responsible for the issues in the 2010 model, but what about the 2011 model? Some resources say it is the same issue, while others say the issue is with the Radeon GPU itself and that changing the capacitor won’t fix the display issue (like in the Q&A here https://store.rossmanngroup.com/d3-c7771...). Can someone clarify whether I should switch out the capacitor on the 2011 (not 2010) model, or should I instead switch to the internal graphics (as seen here https://realmacmods....
Chosen Solution I recently got a decent deal on an early 2013 (edu) iMac. I bought a new CPU, new RAM sticks, and an SSD to upgrade it a little bit. The upgrades went well except for the fact that the screen no longer displays out. An external screen works, but the built in one does not. I’m thinking about replacing the logic board, do I have to use an EMC 2545 logic board?...

Chosen Solution On my macbook pro only, facebook videos don’t work. They appear as a black square (no audio either). Embedded youtube videos work just fine though. I tried both Chrome and Safari and got the same results. Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you!! Update I found the solution! Apparently my problem was account-specific. When other people logged into facebook on my laptop they could watch the videos, I just couldn’t watch it on my laptop....

Chosen Solution Alright iFixiters, I have a whacky one for you today.. I have a 11" 2011 MBA with a broken display. I just picked up a water damaged 2010 11" for a great price. I have fitted the 2010 display assembly to the 2011 body, and the LCD displays properly, but the backlight is what’s giving me trouble. I know that the 2011 board works and the backlight worked on the cracked panel....
Chosen Solution The battery dies at around 47% and goes into an infinite restart loop unless I charge it then it starts charging and functioning normally. And it gradually each day has less charge and starts dying, for example, 47% today and probably 50% in two days and so on. Funny because the battery I am using is from ifixit! I did everything right to install it and calibrate the battery and was very careful!...
Chosen Solution Is there any way to fix my son’s watch?? My daughter threw it and the screen has went all fuzzy. @kaleighsmillie going by your description it sounds like a broken display. This guide Vtech Kidizoom Smart Watch DX Circuit Board Replacement is at least going to get you to the LCD. The most difficult part will be to obtain a replacement. I would stat by contacting Vtech on here
