Chosen Solution I have had a Samsung Evo850 250gb for a few months now in my main drive slot. I have a dual drive system. A few weeks ago my laptop started acting up becoming very slow and the beach ball was everywhere. At some point while restarting in attempt to fix the issue, my laptop booted on the HDD instead of the SSD. I checked Disk Utility and it said the SSD was unformatted (sometimes it doesn’t even show in disk Utility)....

Chosen Solution The head of one of the screws is completely gone. I actually took it to an apple store and the guy couldn’t take it out. I considered using superglue and a screw (what kind of screw) but i have yet to try it because the area is so tiny im afraid of supergluing a screw onto my macbook.. Here is an image of what it looks like. It’s indented....

Chosen Solution i am using my acer 4730Z without battery. but during the use, it gets suddenly shut down. does it have to relate due to any power system in the laptop or any issue It might be an overheating issue, to diagnose you can download a program called HWmonitor and keep an eye on your temps, if they exceed 90 degrees you may have an issue.

Chosen Solution I’d like to know what’s the difference between 2015 and 2017 12.9” models insides. The best place to see all of the technical details is here: iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (Wi-Fi/Cellular) - Gen 1iPad Pro 12.9-Inch (Wi-Fi/Cellular) - Gen 2 As far as innards, from what I’ve been told no alterations in the configuration of the major parts, just the spec improvements.

Chosen Solution It just happened recently. My Oppo Neo 7 phone’s keyboard would suddenly stop from functioning every time I press the keys found at the bottom, like the space bar or comma or the period. When that happens, I can’t type anything, the last key that I tried to press before the lag gets stuck, and whenever I press the Home button the keyboard is still there. Also the screen will still function, but the keyboard is still visible, and cannot be touched....

Chosen Solution The Kenmore microwave will not heat. Everything else seems to be working properly. There are no unusual sounds or smells. Cause 1 Diode The diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won’t receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating....

Chosen Solution The glass on the front of my SE, mostly in the top-left corner of the phone, is popped out, making the touchscreen have problems where I have to press hard to tap things in the top area of the touchscreen. Is there any way to fix this? Screen got probably unglued from the frame due to a bump, thus the frame holds to the phone while the lcd lifts up....

Chosen Solution This iphone was gifted to me because it was sitting on a drawer for months. I would like to fix it and keep it as my second phone. So, no picture on screen, not detected by iTunes or Device Administrator. Replaced the battery because it’s low voltage. Still nothing. I have a multimeter but I don’t have an USB consume tester, which some people uses to check shorted boards (I suspected it could be that)....

Chosen Solution hello, in facts: iPhone 6s, no water damage, all is fine but… After every 5 minutes, when screen is off phone is going to kind of loop. Current consumption drops to 0,58-0,62 and oscillating on these values. Nothing work, just hanging. Disconnecting the battery is only helps.The same when charging by wall plug. The exception is when charging by usb (computer). Questions: how it work? When phone works normally, power supply is implemented by PP_BAT_VCC to Tigris Chip (U2300) which is responsible for generating PP_VCC_MAIN....

Chosen Solution Hello guys, I am buying a new display for my iPhone 5s but I have a question: look at the picture attached, what is that thing, in the red circle, for? I had never seen that before, not in the one iFixit sells; the one I am buying is not from iFixit. Thanks. -C They are testing points used in factory. They are supposed be cut off.

Chosen Solution I understand that Apple is just a plain stingy company, when it comes to user upgradeability. But is there anyway to upgrade the RAM & CPU on a Macbook Pro? I also understand that I would have to remove the logic board but would that mean I could upgrade to a better RAM/CPU? Apple’s design direction in this series was to make it as thin as possible which limits what it can do here with removable components....

Chosen Solution At seemingly random times, the volume keys (up/down/mute) tweak out. There are large time intervals where this does not happen, then suddenly the volume goes into a frenzy of up/down and on/off, which wakes up the cpu when sleeping. Any thoughts? I would take the unit apart to see if I could find anything obvious to repair but I see no easy way to do so without causing some damage....

Chosen Solution iPad3. Last year I replaced my digitizer/screen with a new iFixit digitizer. Now, the left edge of the digitizer is dead to touch. The dead zone started about 1/8” wide and has grown to about 1/4” wide. Meanwhile the right edge is doing the same thing, about 1/8” wide. I keep it in a wraparound case and I noticed the left edge is starting to come unglued. Is this related?...

Chosen Solution So, I’ve been wanting to throw an SSD in my 2008 Mac Pro for a while, and I just remembered that I had a 64GB SSD from my 2012 MBA sitting around (replaced that drive with an OWC upgrade). Anyways, I began to wonder if I could use the SSD as a boot drive for my Mac Pro- I’ve even considered building/coding a homebrew Fusion Drive to see how that works....

Chosen Solution I had issues with certain letters and numbers not functioning on the keyboard when used vertically and ok when used horizontally and vice versa so replaced screen and digitiser and issue remains. Lost need help!!! If there is a dead line down the screen (where touch is unresponsive in the same place for both screens) the issue is most likely with the touch connector on the board. Take a look at the connector, make sure there is no dust inside or bent pins....

Chosen Solution Hello everyone, Finally I managed to get my mom an upgrade, donating her old iPhone 6 to a relative. However, while resetting the phone, I noticed that the two screws near the charging port are missing. The phone is in such a state that I managed to completely separate the display from the body with only my nails, part because of curiosity, and to see how to somehow secure the screen....

Chosen Solution I bought an electrostatic furnace filter pad. It s just a sheet of material that need to be cut to the size of the air duct. I m not actually using it for a furance - I m sticking it into the air outlet of my dryer machine since it vents indoors and I m trying to reduce the amount of lint that spits out of the machine. This filter pad has a rough side and a soft/fluffy side....

Chosen Solution My sleep screen used to offer me multiple options, ever since I updated my phone it’s been weird. Recently iIchanged my sleep screen to the 15 second option, but when I tried to change it back (which I’ve now done multiple times), it only offers me the one option of 15 seconds! How do I fix this? Hi, Try the following: Backup your phone using the phone’s backup feature....
