I have tried multiple tools with persistent failure.

Chosen Solution Sound like a joke but is truth. There’s a dead ant inside my iMac display. What you recommend my best option to take it off? Sadly you’ll need to replace the display assembly - Big $$$ But! Before you attempt repairing this on your own bring it into an Apple Store or authorized service center. Technically this should never have happened as the cover glass and the display are fused into a monolithic unit with no means for the ant to get in....

Chosen Solution ( right model Frigidaire BFEF374A ) I bought this used stove and the digits on the digital display are barely visible. I sought a solution and found that cleaning contacts or changing the capacitors might solve the issue. Contacts of the display are welded in the unit’s board but I changed the capacitors and it is still the same. Possibly a cold solder joint on the control board. Reflow it it with a cheap soldering iron....

We bought it secondhand and it was working fine for a few weeks before it stopped working properly....

Chosen Solution Do not disconnect appears on screen and iPod will not charge? I would first try to hard reset the iPod: press and hold the menu and the select button at the same time for about 6-10 seconds, the iPod should now restart try this with the disconnected iPod, if the screen won’t go away with the hard reset, try this: connect the iPod to your computer and wait antil it get’s recognized - then restart the computer with the connected iPod - don’t close any programs before restarting- let the system handle that and right after the computer restarted - the message “ok to disconnect” should appear - when the message apears - unplug the iPod(had this yesterday with an iPod 5g)...
