Chosen Solution Hi: My mini is still under warranty as it hasn’t been out for very long. This is actually my 2nd mini as I exchanged the first one hoping the 2nd one would run cooler. But they run almost identical. This mini has the discrete gpu thus ~6W idle additional heat to dissipate. I am irritated that I cannot enjoyably stream Netflix without the cpu die reporting 95C via iStat Menus and Hardware Monitor by Bresink, although it does settle out to ~90C....

Chosen Solution I have a Sony transistor radio that my Dad gave me 50+ years ago that is inoperative. WHERE can I send it to get it fixed? @roytota we do not know where you are located. My suggestion would be to use your favorite search engine, then you look for radio repair and see if anything pops up with your region. If you decide to maybe check it out yourself, you’d have to let us know the exact model radio so that we can try to assist you....

Chosen Solution After a firmware update and a week later my Sony XBR 55X850C won’t start. I’ve attempted to perform a factory reset (unplug TV, hold down both Power & Volume Low buttons on back of unit while plugging in the TV) without any resolution. As a tech rookie is there anyway to determine if this 2016 purchased TV is bricked before I spend $$ at a local repair shop to see if its worth repairing?...

Chosen Solution Sony Z5 Premium. I went for a swim in the sea, took some amazing video of fish, and rinsed it off in a swimming pool afterward (I know I should not do this but to my defense I have done this many a time in the past) , I guess I had it a bit too deep underwater this time (2M in freshwater swimming pool) as the screen started to freak out, lines jumping around and then finally the screen went dark....

Chosen Solution So I was a bit of a lemon and accidentally spilled beer on my new M1 Max MacBook Pro. It turned itself on as I opened it in the morning and it had 3/4 stripes on the right hand of my display, the far right one flickering.

Chosen Solution I bought a Sandisk Extreme II 500GB SSD with an the Mac Mini dual drive kit. The installation went well and the SSD drive was recognized by my Mac Mini, well… some of the times.

Sometimes Mac OS X (10.9 Mavericks) says that the drive is not initialized and asked me to format it, only to do so again the next time I boot....

Chosen Solution The auto focus on the camera is broken. When the lens is switched onto Auto, the camera doesn’t take pictures at all, and on manual it needs to be focused manually (obviously). I’m not sure if it’s a setting that I can fix or if there is something wrong with the camera itself. The problem might be with the camera body, the lens, or the interface between the two....

Chosen Solution My Macbook Pro have started freezing and beeping three times. This only happens occasionally and when it does the problem continues after a reboot unless I force close and let the computer stay turned off for a while. When it starts up again it works for approx the same time it was shut down. It’s weird. If it shut down for an hour it will work for an hour before it freezes and starts beeping....
