Chosen Solution I was trying to find answers for colored vertical lines that pop in and out of the display and eventually came across answers on iFixit that seems to indicate my issue is TAB related. I just wanted more information about TAB errors since I wanted to confirm that it’s the same issue that I’m currently experiencing! The display randomly seems to return to normal when the laptop is on a flat surface and when the lid is not in motion....

Chosen Solution Hi, What is the make and model number of the tablet? It sounds as if the USB charge port is loose on the systemboard. Most USB ports in laptops, tablets, mobile phones etc. (not all) are a SMD (surface mounted device) type connector mounted directly onto the systemboard. You will need to have the requisite SMD soldering skills and tools to repair / replace the port. This is not a job for novices to try....

Chosen Solution The on/off switch of my Flip Ultra HD has fallen inside the camera. What can I do to set it back up again? jud, you will have to disassemble your flip right down to removing the logic board. Uses this teardown to get an idea of what is involved. The outer plastic case is a pain (lots of glue) and it will never look the same:-) The on/off button is held in place by a small plastic spring piece....

Chosen Solution We have a 2005 Buick Rendezvous with 61,000 miles and last night the temperature gauge and RPM gauge indicated the vehicle temp. was hot (after starting and driving a mile) and the RPM gauge was off the chart…too many RPM’s for the speed. Is this a fuse problem or a sensor problem. The odometer, speedometer and gas gauge all work. Well, it might not be. When you say “off the chart” what were the revs?...

Chosen Solution Every MacBook Pro I’ve had has started wearing the anodized coating off the metal on the upper front edge of the case. Since I’m right-handed, it’s worse just above the optical drive. I love the feel of the aluminum, so I’m not excited about a third party cover. And replacing the upper case (even for me) is more expensive than it’s worth. Has anyone successfully prolonged the life of the anodized coating?...

Chosen Solution Hi, I am looking to replace the rubber seal that encloses the display and that also serves as a jamb when the lid is closed. asking in authorised retailers and Apple itself i have got the same answer: “you will have to buy the entire display replacement”.
