Chosen Solution Hi! For a shameful reason I teared down my computer, cleaned it with destiled water from coffee and now i see that some of the yellow tape, which i guess protected important electronical parts, isn’t sticky enough any more. for example that one that holds the keyboard-&-trackpad-connector on its place. my question: can i replace it with normal office tape or does it have to be especially heat resistant?...

First, you say one corner is bumped a little....

Chosen Solution Hello, My early 2015 macbook pro had a lot of “strainGate” screen problems and fell outside the 4 year warranty. I decided what the heck, I’m already using an external monitor, so I tried the DIY solution of wiping off the antiglare coating with clorox wipes (saw on this forum). For about half an hour, this worked perfectly - the coating was gone within minutes, and I was overjoyed to have my screen back....

Chosen Solution Will a Nokia E72 replacement camera part work in the Nokia E71 motherboard? In other words, can one upgrade the Nokia E71’s 3.2 MP camera to 5.0 MP using a spare part made for an E72? Since the phones are very much alike (same size, same battery, etc.) I should think a simple swap should be possible, as long as the physical size and connector of the replacement part matches the original....

Chosen Solution Hello, I want to replace the standard hdd in my iMac with a SSD. I was wondering the best brand to buy for a Mac with the best reliability and reviews. Also, are there any problems to watch out for in the iMac? I know in the 2010-2011 model, the fan would run at full speed if the stock HDD was replaced.

Bad news is the floppy drive is jammed in eject position. I have an external 400KB drive, it has same issue.

Can I just take the pad off the battery end and reapply it? Update I have one that is missing in the middle and the other on the left. I was reading those links and it says something about scraping the green off....

Chosen Solution It turned off while I was using it and now will not turn on at all. Hi Veronica, Have you got access to another compatible charger? If so try it and see if the tablet responds in any way. If it does your charger is faulty and needs to be replaced. If you don’t have another charger, you can try connecting it to a PC. It will not charge effectively but it may give an indication that it is alive....
