Chosen Solution How hot should the heat gun get? Mine is 250ºC. The heat gun itself is a little less important. You should use an infrared thermometer to know how hot your getting the device that you’re working on. Like this https://www.google.com/search?q=hde+infr… Hi, It doesn’t matter really no, how close you get depends how hot the surface will get anyway, so you need to know how to control that really, making it too hot will damage it, if it’s not hot enough you’ll have a hard time prying anything off....

Chosen Solution I dropped my LG G6 in sea water and it was retrieved after half an hour. Now it won’t turn on. I tried cleaning the ports and drying as well. It has been 5 days already since the phone was dropped in water. Would it be possible to retrieve the photos from the phone if I took it to a technician? After 5 days, you’re odds are getting lower and lower....

Chosen Solution Okay so i threw my phone and the screen fell entirely off and the parts inside are broke how much would it be to get it fixed? @kimam, that depends what other parts are broken. You can replace the display by following this guide. Replacement screens are available at many places anywhere between $50 to $100. Again total cost will depend on what else if broken.

Chosen Solution About four hours after successful battery change, the display showed color changes then went blank. Possible alcohol w/ glue seepage into connectors? I just replaced my battery and had the same thing happen, worked fine for about 12 hours then started noticing washed out colors, then screen went dark, power button still has feedback and touch screen seems to work but now it only shows black or periodically green static on screen....

Chosen Solution Once cutting on it will fill but then stops and flashes LF then I have to reset it and put it on next cycle Error code: LF stands for long fill and occurs when the water level does not change for a period of time after the valves are turned on. All washers are designed to operate with a water supply pressure of 20-100 PSI. When the pressure drops below 20 PSI the washer can have the following problems: Slow Fill- low water pressure reduces the speed at which water flows into the machine....

Chosen Solution Well, the old question was getting cluttered, so I started a new one. Now, TP4, is not getting power. (That’s capacitor #3 on the power supply board.) hello, check your transformer and make sure that you have the proper output. Also, make sure that the diodes in the rectifier circuit are all functioning. If all that is working, replace the capacitor and recheck. A couple things to always do if you have a power issue....

Chosen Solution This is not your common “home button doesn’t work after screen replacement”. No, unfortunately my problem is a bit more mysterious. I’ve got an iPhone 6S with a faulty home button. I’ve replaced it with a replica part, knowing that touch-ID will not work, but alas, even the replacement button does not work. My guess is the screen needs to be replaced as that is the part that signals the button data to the motherboard....

Chosen Solution when i apply uv screen protector does not fit properly UV LOCA glue? You need something like a nail curing machine found in a nail salon to cure it. Get a normal glass one or a plastic one with silicone adhesive if you’re not talking about the actual glass that covers the display.

Chosen Solution I broke my phone and the screen is cracked and black. I cannot recover data as none of the applications is working.

Chosen Solution Computer got liquid damage and cannot salvage. I picked up a new computer and I’d like to connect my HD on the broken computer (2013 MacBook air) to some sort of cradle or adapter to my new macbook.

Chosen Solution How do I access the heater core? Ken, This is a big job in a full size GM van. I believe the entire dash has to be unbolted/screwed and propped up or removed to access the heater core for removal. These instructions are from 2carpros, JACOBANDNICKOLAS Disconnect the battery ground cable. Remove the engine cover. Remove the steering column-to-instrument panel bolts. Lower the column carefully. Remove the upper and lower instrument panel attaching screws....

Chosen Solution Why does the lower half of touch screen quit working Hi, If auto screen rotation is on, try turning the phone 90 degrees to the left, so that it is in the landscape position. If the affected area remains the same (i.e. now it should be on the right half of the screen, not the bottom of the screen), your digitizer (touchscreen) is faulty and needs to be replaced....
