Chosen Solution Brief summary of what happened: Dropped phone from hip-level onto hardwood floor. I noticed a small purple splotch on the phone that obscured part of the screen. This splotch slowly grew until it covered the whole screen in a somewhat see through purple color. The following morning the phone screen was a solid black. Still responds with the “powering on” vibration when I press the power button. Any idea on what the problem is and how it can be fixed?...

Chosen Solution I’m hearing an electrical noise coming from the center of my laptop. It sounds like voltage jumping over a small gap. It’s not related to the fans. this is the noise. Ignore the birds chirping in the background: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LCkWJ8S… The noise is coming from this area of the laptop: Is this normal behavior, or should i have this looked at? Could this be resolved by unplugging and replugging certain connectors?...

Chosen Solution I was given an Iphone 5 today. I brought it home and plugged it up. Says the battery is completely charged but won’t stay on after unplugging. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but every time I try through Itunes it says error 21. I googled and searched for what to do. I put it in DFC mode or whatever it was called and tried that but still not restoring....

Chosen Solution My fan will randomly run super fast around 4000 to 6000 rpms and I don’t know why. All temperatures are in normal ranges. Hi how long does it run at high speed? Are you playing intensive games or watching videos at the time? If you have Win 10 installed, when it occurs, right click on the Taskbar and click on Task Manager. Select Processes > CPU and check the CPU % and also the name of the process that is using the highest CPU %....

Chosen Solution This looks like a job so challenging it may not be worth doing - there’s no guide, the battery is glued in, and I’ve seen reference to the keyboard being held in place with something other than screws. I’ve replaced a lot of SSDs, DC-in boards, logic boards etc, but this one looks hard enough (if possible) that I’m really hesitant. I wonder if anyone has done this (without replacing the whole top case)?...

Chosen Solution Hi. I was going through the replacement of a battery on the Apple Watch. Once I got to replacing the force touch gasket as I went to connect this to the phone I noticed the right hand side of it wasn’t connect (please see picture). I presume if I continue with the fix it won’t work now. Is this a faulty part or do I need to reorder this component?...

Chosen Solution We have a Samsung French 4-door chef collection with flex area Model:RF34H9960S4/AA-0000. It randomly just started turning off and then turns right back on but cycles through this every couple of minutes. Can’t keep anything in it because it is not holding temp with the constant turning off and back on. Any one with any ideas? We just can not afford $250 + for a repair service since it is out of warranty....

Chosen Solution Can I replace just the ear speaker without replacing the entire front panel? yes, you’ll probably be able to find the part on ebay, be sure to verify that it is actually the speaker that needs replacing though and not the connector 3/fpc connector

Chosen Solution My check engine light will not come on . How do i fix it? Hi Richard, I’m not sure the exact reason you would want your CEL on, but nevertheless. You will have to disassemble the driver’s side of the dashboard to get to the gauge cluster. You will need to pull that out and find the bulb that correlates with the CEL. If you turn your Accord to “On” without starting it, the rest of the engine lights should light up momentarily....

Chosen Solution I have a large chefs knife with a full length metal tang. The hard plastic? handle material has come away either side of a hole through which the two sides of the handle connect. I have one piece but the other is missing. What glue/epoxy/material would be good to form the missing piece and attach to the knife and loose handle piece? Hi @dcooperj Usually an epoxy adhesive makes for a good bond between different materials....

Chosen Solution I want to change the hard drive to a new and larger one. Can I do it on my own? Sorry, I’m a Chinese, and my English is very poor. What I meant was is that the room of the hard disk is kind of small. So I want to change the hard disk into a larger one such as a 256 GB one. My model is a MacBook Pro mf839, Can I change it my myself?...

Chosen Solution Can you replace only the front glass if the rests is still working Not on this model, the glass is laminated with the screen and quite often the OLED display becomes damaged when attempting to separate them even with the tools and experience to do so (someone that refurbishes cracked screens daily).

Chosen Solution EN: Problem: computer crash during the game. RAM: 4 GB. x 2 Crash (restart): during heating (of the game 30-60 min.) and if you use the memory in slot-0. Working fine: always if you use the memory in slot-1. Tested changing memory modules in slot-0: 2 GB. (complete with plant), 4 GB. (bought) - the problem with the reboot when it is heated in games. What’s the problem? Slot-0 or the GPU?...

Chosen Solution The sound system does not work. As soon as it turns on it shows the error on the display. Hi A protect E02 error code indicates a problem with power to the Amp board. Here’s the service manual for the receiver. This should help to find the problem as it has dis-assembly instructions, schematic diagrams and a parts list. The manual is a bit hard to use as you have to change the page number below the document preview page and click on go, to go to the page you want in the manual....

Chosen Solution Hi guys. I bit off a more then I could chew attempting a housing swap on my iPhone 8. Everything works fine but the bottom microphone (calls and voice memo mic). I ordered a new charging port assembly with microphone attached assuming the old was broken but same thing happened again. No voice and a horrible static noise. Have I missed something??? There are 4 total mics in the iPhone 8 plus....
