Chosen Solution Today, playing the horizon 3, (1697) RT can’t be used, the other keys are normal. Change the controller (1537) everything is normal. Just open the found no oil or sweat, I use alcohol wipe again, go back to the RT installation is still not available. Can you fix it? Thank you all. It has been solved: careful inspection is because the XBOX ONE controller falls on the floor, causing the screws to close to the motherboard near the RT, and the RT key inside is the magnet structure....

Chosen Solution I spilled water on my computer and was told my motherboard fried. I took it apart but have no idea how to remove the cpu and gpu.

Consider this a practical lesson to keep drinks a reasonable distance away from your computer....

Chosen Solution How difficult is it to replace the optical drive? I’d assume just replacing the entire Cd/DVD player unit. Is it pretty straight forward to the mechanically inclined person or are there some gnarly trade secret / Soldering resisters Geek-out situations? They just unplug and a screw or 2 removes them. But you’ll probably have to take off the back cover to get into it. Second option: get a portable drive for those rare occasions that you need it....

Chosen Solution I dropped my Mac Pro in a busy street (on a rough cement). It is very rough on the edge. Cosmetic wise it is very ugly. I wanted it refined. How can I do it? One solution is to put on a Hard Case Cover such as this one: New Black Rubberized Hard Case Cover for Apple MacBook Pro 13" 13.3" Non-Retina http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/22125813022… You’ll need to replace the mingled parts since reworking Mac aluminum cases never gives satisfying results....

Chosen Solution Is my sweet late 2016 (27’’) iMac speakers gone! Well… I played 22 kHz tone and… Seconds later my speakers sounded (muffled) like missing the Treble and slight on midrange… only Bass with hint of Midrange!
