Chosen Solution How do I remove the sim card tray from my Samsung galaxy mega to replace with new one? ms_paula08 , If port is found to be bad/loose/damaged , this is really not a repair for the inexperienced because the Sim card tray for your device is soldered to the mother board and the heat generated could cause further damage if not very careful. I will post a link to a tear down guide to get you inside the tablet to check the Sim card tray and will also post a link showing what is involved in repairing a Sim card tray attached to the board(not your device, just showing what could be involved)....

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button....

Chosen Solution The speedometer needle moves on engine startup but not during movement of the car. All other instrument cluster needles move OK. Odometer is not recording any increase in mileage during movement of the car. Theo, this is most likely a problem with the instrument cluster or the speed sensor. Instrument clusters made after 2000 have Stepper Motors to drive all the gauges including the speedometer. I’d start with the speed sensor since it is a lot cheaper....

Chosen Solution I spilled a good amount of water onto my closed MacBook Air. I didn’t turn it off immediately because I didn’t know that’s what you were supposed to do. I did dry off all the water around the sides and it seemed to be working fine. I came back a little later and tried to turn it on but it had turned its self off on its own. I stupidly plugged in the charger thinking the battery might have coincidentally been dead....

Chosen Solution Hello, I’m hooking up my Whirlpool Roper washing machine and it started spraying water from the bottom on the floor. Help! ?how can I fix this? @peterod11, Pete, your model # may help or at least is it top load or front load. Sounds like you may have to disassemble and check for a loose hose connection or damage hose/fill valve or possible pump/hose leak.

Chosen Solution I too have a problem. I turn the key and the starter engages and sort of grunts but then stops. Turn again and the grunt is less powerful. Turn again and less powerful again. Bought battery. Turn again and still less powerful. Now I turn the key and almost nothing. Is that what a solenoid would sound like if going bad? Robert Meyer sounds more like a bad starter....

Chosen Solution Okay, I’ve just replaced a faulty hard drive in my old-style Xbox One. In doing so I had to go into factory settings by pressing the button and the eject button, so I know there is no physical problem with the button. However, now when I press the button, the Xbox will not flash to sync a controller. I’ve tried syncing the controller using a USB cable, still no joy....

Even rechargeable batteries have a life span. As you do not state the model number of your Nextbook tablet, here is a link to the ifixit repair guides for 5 different Nextbook models. They all show how to open the tablet so that the battery can be accessed and replaced....

The problem I have is that sometimes I connect the phone to the computer or to charge and it does not recognize the cable, it does not start charging or transmitting data. What I have to do is turn off the phone and plug in the cable....

Chosen Solution Can you buy the tools at the service areas or only online Repairing iPhones requires specialized tools, such as Pentalobe and Tri-wing drivers. You won’t find these screwdrivers in everyday hardware stores. You may find them in electronics/surplus stores but they will generally be low-quality. The tool shop here at iFixit offers good quality tools at affordable prices. You can buy the repair tools on the shop online who sell repair parts....

Chosen Solution Hi, the Q4260 (NDS9407) has burned. I changed it, but it burned again. So, I identified a short on the circuit connected to the drain of Q4260. I don’t find the other bad component, because I need the eletrical diagram to do this. Do you have the esquematic diagram of mainboard? Thanks Fabiano, this is where it gets a bit complicated. I do have two schematics that go with the A1297, but are different by year....

Chosen Solution I just finished installing a new battery in my iPhone 6 using the battery and kit I got last week. Phone worked great yesterday after install and was down to 1% last night so I put on charger. never charged and only jumped from 1% to 3% after being plugged in and never charged any higher. I looked on website and saw where I needed to put piece of electrical tape on top of battery connecter and then re install plate so I did that and when I plugged my phone in again it went to 8%!...

Chosen Solution I just reassembled my iphone 4s and have this left over. Doh! Can anyone tell me where it goes? That is the cover of the WiFi antenna cap. The red circle is over its screw which threads into the underlying stand-off screw. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig… It’s for fastening the motor vibrator. Did your vibrator work normally?

Chosen Solution I have a Dell mini-laptop - model Inspiron Mini 1018 with a Windows 7 Starter OS, N455 1.66GHz and 1GB of RAM. Since the day I’ve first used it, it has been extremely slow. It takes softwares a long time to go up, opening a video with Media Player Cassic can take almost 40 seconds, browser windows are annoying, and I actually can’t watch any Youtube videos since it is so slow it’s stuck every half a second (not buffering, just stuck) It seemed weird to me that Dell would manufacture and sell such a thing, and tought it might be just the way mini-laptops are, but after seeing it wasn’t like that with other laptops, it guess it’s just mine....

Chosen Solution My xbox 360 is getting three red lights whenever I turn it on, but with different results. At first it would not boot and give a secondary error code 0101, then it started booting normally even though the red lights were on but would not play games and a few times it gave me error code E71 along with the lights. I’ve tried installing the rrod fix kit, booting without the hard drive....

Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve had my OnePlus 3 for about 2 years now and it was overdue for a battery replacement, so I decided to replace it myself. I bought an OEM battery and carefully replaced the old battery with the new one. After doing this, I attempted to charge it and noticed it was getting very hot at the top of the phone, like dangerously hot. After I got it to boot up, It would reboot after a few minutes of use and remained very hot to the touch even after removing the dash charger....
