Chosen Solution Hello! Display went to black. But starts fine. Machine is reacting on change of speaker volume. Starts perfectly in terminal mode (but black). Alt-cmd-R.P reset doesn’t work out. External Monitor attached : nope. Running iMac as an external Monitor on a macbook: negative (maybe wrong cable, or the function for F1, F2 is disabled in sytem prefs.). What couldit be: Display or GPU? Usually, if a graphic card is saying good-bye, you see some errors on the screen before....

Chosen Solution I know that not many people have attempted this repair yet or this question would abound. Sure, there are many videos and tear-downs showing how the digitizer is removed from the iPad Mini, but how do you attach the digitizer control circuit (which is the component that actually connects to the logic board) to the digitizer cable, and how do you attach the home button cable to the new digitizer cable?...

Chosen Solution Yesterday, after 6 years, I decided to actually repair my old Xbox 360 console after receiving the RROD. It now works perfectly fine, however…… I tried to update, but I discovered that as the disc drive was a replacement one, it failed to update. I therefore took one out of my new xbox and swapped them over in order to update my console. That worked fine. If I attempt the use the old disc drive I receive E66....

Chosen Solution Hi, my 6 plus fell off the roof while I was working up there and bent the case backwards a bit. It worked without issue for awhile, but today I am not able to use any mobile data unless I am on wifi. I couldn’t remember if I had insurance so I brought it into the AT&T store and asked if I did have the insurance (which I don’t) and he mentioned that it seems like the antenna snapped at the top of the phone which sounds quite plausible since that’s where the bend is....

Chosen Solution Hey guys, Have another question. Does anyone happen to have or know the datasheet for the HDMI IC for the PSP Pro? I ripped one of the pads off (see blue circled area) and of course it has a trace going down to the APU. Just wondering what it may do and see if i could possibly get a way with not fixing it. See my picture for the referenced pin....

Chosen Solution If the Elster does not have a lithium battery, how is data stored when there is an outage? Just wondering ,no battery but all it would take is a couple of capacitors to keep it going and the 32kB Flash memory will most likely be the place where that information gets stored.

Chosen Solution washer was not being used for 3 days and no clothes or water in it. smanoog2004, here is my answer from a similar question:“check on these things. “check or repair the following Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU) Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure http://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/… and http://www.thathomesite.com/forums/load/… have more on this....

Chosen Solution Microwave door will not open after pushing door button The standard answer on repairing microwaves is “just say no”. These are one of the very few items that almost all of us will not attempt a repair on. They can kill you. They are cheap, easy to replace. Or you can take it to a pro and hope he doesn’t get killed. if the button won’t push in to open the microwave door, one of the little ears that holds the button in place has broke off and is keeping the button fron being depress....

Chosen Solution Hard to start yesterday,drivers side window,power door locks wont work,either by buttons on both doors or on key fob.Other windows work! Replaced Battery checked door lock fuse,still no drivers side window or door locks. The most likely cause of your problem is the master switch in the drivers door. The windows and the locks are on two separate circuits. The only part that these two have in common is the master switch....

Chosen Solution Title says it all really, a student handed me his phone to look after and I very stupidly dropped it. It’s a 1st gen iPhone, purchased in France. What can I do about getting it fixed for him? It’s an old enough product now that I can’t find any DIY kits for it, so I’m really looking for suggestions for where/how I could get it fixed. Thanks. The main problem is that this phone can be bought on eBay for $40....

Chosen Solution Do these kind of accidents usually only require LCD to be replaced? No cracks on the actual screen. Theres screen burns in the top left, so either way you probably need to get it fixed. the weird patterns on it, also probably the LCD. iPad Mini 2 Wi-Fi LCD Replacement if you are able to take the screen off with out damaging it you can get away with only replacing the lcd

Chosen Solution Randomly, when I am using my laptop the screen will flash white and grey lines for a brief moment? @meghanflowers could be an issue with the memory or the video dispaly (either GPU or LCD). Of course, one can never rule out a driver issue either. TRy to update the driveer for your Lenovo and the OS you are using. Intermittent errors are difficult to figure out. I’d start of by running the laptop with an external monitor, after updating the driver....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have a 6 year old MacBook Unibody (late 2009) which worked well till now, thanks to fast SSD and new ifix Battery). The OSX version is 10.11.4 (El Capitan). Yesterday it shutted down without any warning. After starting it again the temperature (CPU Die) was about 120°C and the fan was not working (0 rpm). I turned it off again to let it cool down. I also opened the MB and cleaned the fan following the fan replacement instructions with disconnected battery....

Chosen Solution I’m trying to figure out what to do with an old PowerBook 190 that I’ve recently resurrected. I thought I might use it as a barebones writing machine, but the keyboard’s pretty terrible. I’ve fixed it up with an ethernet PC card and can hook it up to my network, but there are very few websites that can be viewed very well with OS 7.5.5. I considered trying to make it into a digital picture frame, but it only has a black and white screen....

Chosen Solution Hi Everyone! First post here. Been a tech for 20 years but not all that much experience with Macs. Got an iMac EMC 2308 in the shop the other day with a bad hard drive. Put a new drive in and tried the install, it starts up and gets going but after a few minutes the screen goes black. Eventually the fans spin up like it’s going crazy but still nothing on the screen....

Chosen Solution Hi, Recently I was repairing an iPad and I had ordered a cheaper digitizer because the oem’s were sold out. Now I noticed that on the original digitizers there is a copperish square around the screen, but on the cheap digitizer, there is not. Could somebody explain the function of the copper strip around the screen? The copper color looking borders on the digitizer are there to stop interference with the chassis which can result in decreased touch sensitivity if not present....

Chosen Solution I bought a 9.7 galaxy tab a with s-pen in Feb ‘17. I stupidly updated the thing 3/4 months ago (dec/nov) (I say stupidly because it no longer takes png screenshots, instead it takes jpg screengrabs). I want pngs because they’re sharper and clearer. Anyway, just earlier today, I attempted to downgrade the os/firmware from 7.1.1 (jpg screen taker), back to 6.1.1 (png screen taker). I used Samsung Odin v3....

Chosen Solution Same issue here. No visible fuses on T-Con or Main board? I’m loosing voltage on standby circuit. Get a clicking noise and voltage drops out. I can unplug the main board from the power board and the clicking stops and light through the screw holes. Plug main board back in and unplug the T-Con board and it starts clicking again and no lights. So does this mean the Main board is bad or is it somerhing on the power board....

Chosen Solution Hi there, So I have an old LG Optimus phone. Recently it has been ghost typing, the letter “p” keeps reoccurring, and it types by itself. Sometimes, when I hit a button nothing happens. Sometimes the screen moves by itself (as if I am swiping). What is going on / wrong with the phone? If it is the digitizer? how hard is it to repair? There is no screen protector....

I tried to press the volume up button and home button and the power button....
