Chosen Solution Help me please my baby sister spilled Chocolate milk on my keyboard and now it isn’t working! I need it for my classes The problem isn’t with the keyboard. They will work (somewhat) even when wet, and are not afraid of short-outs (since they are effectively a grid of switches) The problem is that the circuit on the PCB inside the base likely was damaged (shorted/blown). And that, is quite a pain....
Chosen Solution Hello, Today I was working on my MacBook when all of the sudden the screen started to tingle and turned on/off for few minutes. I turn it off and proceed to a SMC and pram/nvram reset. When I try to turn on it won’t start. It makes the sound of turning on the screen stays black. Eventually some horizontal and black and white lines start tingling and that’s it....
Chosen Solution 5 days ago, I dropped my phone in water. The top was briefly submerged before I took it out and dried it with a towel while panicking. The touch screen has been unresponsive ever since, and because my phone is a sealed phone, I cannot remove the back to dry it internally. I’ve left it in the sun, in silica gel balls and in rice across the 5 days since it broke, and I turned it off after the 2nd day....

Chosen Solution Hello. I have a Toshiba A200 laptop and it has problem that some keys not working. Not working keys are F7, 7, U, J, M. It’s in a column. So I can assume matrix is broken. What I wonder is, how to confirm it’s a problem of which side. Keyboard part? or mobo part? Because it looks like keyboard part’s problem, but I guess when pin of connector or line in mobo is broken should have same symptom....
Chosen Solution The cartridge in my printer is almost 2 years old, but was manufactured in 2012 since I bought this printer as a floor model. If it was still usable this wouldn’t be a problem but the OPC drum on the cartridge is damaged and produces visible defects. The problem is there is still a good amount of unused toner. As of when I write this post, the printer’s chip estimates that I only have 100 pages left....

Chosen Solution Hi, so I accidentally spilled some coffee in my backpack (coffee top wasn’t screwed on right), which dribbled down then got into the USB/charge port of my 2015 MacBook. I tried, in a panic and idiotically, to charge immediately after, without drying out the port completely (but will I really know if it’s dry?), and of course it won’t charge. Have I done lasting damage? Or can I try the rice-in-the-bag trick later and cross my fingers?...

I contacted Canon USA and was told that a sensor has malfunctioned and unfortunately the camera has reached the end of its service life (no spare/repair parts....

I have used the adhesive that the new screens come with, i have also tried buying different adhesive and still get the same issue. I make sure the frame is cleaned of any and all old adhesive and i make sure that the frame isn’t obstructing the new screen from laying flush....

Chosen Solution In the past few days my Amana refrigerator AFI2538AEQ4 display would shut off when the compressor tried to start.

Where do I start, is there a way to reset the display or a way to test to see if it is bad? mh42407, You can reset the electronic control boards on most appliances by unplugging them for a minute and plugging back in....
Chosen Solution I have tried to open my phone and when I disconnected the battery cable a something went wrong there and it does not charge anymore. It turns on if I connect it, but it does not charge, even if it looks like is charging.. How much would it cost to repair it? Try to restore the phone. It will probably do nothing, but it could fix the problem. The one thing you should do is let it do a backup first, to be sure the phone is backed up....
Chosen Solution My PS3 has yellow lighted 3 times now (80GB Fat, PS2 Compatible). I’ve bought a PS3 Slim, and I want to transfer my save data from my current hard drive to the new system. I was only able to back up a few games to the cloud prior to my system going down the final time. If I replace the motherboard in the original PS3 Fat, would the new motherboard attempt to re-format the hard drive, causing me to lose all the data currently on there?...

Chosen Solution Problem: I replaced the OEM battery with a generic one from iFixit. Its individually wrapped “rainbow” wires weren’t shaped like the OEM battery’s were, preventing them from laying flat. They obstructed a case screw. I didn’t realize this until I looked to see why the screw wasn’t going in, and then saw the slightly frayed cable. Question: Is wrapping each exposed wire of the battery cable with electrical tape okay?...
Chosen Solution Hi, I have an old late 2008 macbook that I still use as my main notebook. I upgraded it with 1tb hybrid hard drive and 8gb of ram and works completely fine!
