Chosen Solution I have 3 iPhones with the same symptom. Battery goes down quickly, shuts down or no signal ONLY when you insert de SIM card. I’ve tested all these 3 iPhones with no SIM card, and they don’t shut down, no baterry drain. I’ve tested with several SIMs cards that work perfectly in other devices (I mean other iPhones) in my opinion - there are 2 possible problems (if fluid damages are ruled out in the first place) 1, the batteries are extremely weak - as soon as the phone uses the mobile phone part - the battery crashes 2, the Skyworks GSM/Edge Power amplifier (SKY77340) is faulty...

Chosen Solution suddenly all of the photos are very over exposed. I have reset the camera to factory specs but it hasn’t helped. Its like its stuck on an iso of 3200. The auto modes don’t help. Is it likely to be a problem with the sensor? The images are very pale with visible horizontal white lines very close together Did you try selecting High ISO sensitivity? Also, set the White Balance to “Cloudy”....

Chosen Solution Before I go to deep I think this is just a bad OS install but I want others opinions first… So a while back our family decided to upgrade to a smart phones, most of the family got iPhone SE’s and one of them has been haveing this strange problem that some system sounds won’t work but others will but it seems random from phone restarts which sounds do and don’t work… example: ringtones will play when getting a call but text tones don’t and after a phone restart it would be the exact opposite text tones work but ringtones don’t and then after another restart both tones would work but something else wouldn’t like video audio or keyboard clicks or something....

Chosen Solution I replaced the screen with an iFixIt part. Those gray boxes in the center are new, and the digitizer doesn’t work at all. Put the old screen back and it works as well as it ever did. Bad part? Contact ifixit support, that is a defective or installed incorrectly part. Try to reseat the cable first and if that doesn’t work request a new part.

Chosen Solution I apologize if this question is not in the right thread as I wasn’t sure where to put and I thought other electronics experts may know. Is the Isopropyl alcohol that we use on circuit boards, is it the same product as what they use in alcohol-based hand sanitizers in hospitals? I ask because there is a need for it given recent events, and the stuff I have is 99%!...

Chosen Solution My 3DS XL that I’ve had for 8.5 years started to glitch on the top screen when opened all the way, and you could only play it when it looked like a mini laptop. Now, it won’t turn on, even after charging. I hope I won’t have to replace the top screen, but I might just keep it as a piece of history. Given that you stated the screen has artifacts when fully opened leads me to believe that the ribbon cable that from the bottom of the 3DS and the top screen has been damaged....

Chosen Solution I just got the red ring of death, anyone know of a way to fix it? Or a place to send it off to fix it? Might i add, it no longer has the three year warranty. You may want to look into something called the X-Clamp Method, it required replacing the X-Clamps, which are brackets that hold the CPU and GPU heatsinks in place, These will warp over time, to the point where they put uneven preassure on the CPU or GPU causing it to form a cold joint (Where the chip is not fully connected to the motherboard causing it to malfunction) This causes the red ring of death....

Chosen Solution Hello, I have read some other answers but I have not found what interests me. I’m considering purchasing a 2019 5k iMac which is provided to me by Apple as refurbished which has a 2TB Fusion Drive. I would like to remove the Fusion Drive and install 2 SSDs: The first by removing the mechanical disk and using a 1Tb Samsung Evo SSDThe second by removing the PCIe SSD (which I believe is 32Gb) with a 1Tb Samsung Evo SSD + Apple Adapter Once this is done I would like to install Mac OS X on the PCIe SSD disk and using a 50% of the SATA disk install Bootcamp with Windows 10....

Chosen Solution Hi I have been looking around for a broken Macbook to repair and came across a 15” MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) with a cracked but functional screen. Is it possible to replace the glass only on this model. I’m trying to find out from the seller exactly what model it is as in A#### but I’m awaiting a reply. Any help welcomed please. No, there’s no replaceable glass on retina screens, the panel itself is a one piece sandwich of about 1mm thickness which is already on its own very difficult to remove from the display without going in thousand pieces and without damaging the underlying backlight sheets....

Chosen Solution Bought ps4 controllers off Internet and all 4 of them have a small humming sound coming from Rumbler, what could cause this. They die in less than 2 hours. If you got it off eBay, there is a Buyer protection program. If you bought it elsewhere and used PayPal you can contact the seller and file a protest with PayPal.

Chosen Solution Hello everyone, I just bought a second-hand phone, replaced its screen and started to work with it. I was told that the locking of the phone is unknown. I bought the device from UK, i’m not living there. When i putted my sim in, first it showed “no service” so i guessed it is locked but when i’m “playing” with the network options sometimes it recognizes my sim and there is a service and i can make calls!...

Chosen Solution I need a service tool that is compatible with Canon MG2560 printer to reset ink overflow error 5B00. I have seen reference to V3800 but cannot find. It would be great if someone could help with sourcing this or equivalent. Since 5B00 is for waste ink, do not reset the counter until it has been fixed. Consumer inkjets like this don’t give much room (if any) to budge between the error and reserve pad to account for end user resetting....

Chosen Solution As the title says, I’ve got a Sharp Aquos LC-65LE654U doing the infamous frozen logo / frozen startup cycle. I read a firmware update via USB might fix it but I cannot find the firmware online and it doesn’t appear that SHARP publishes it on their website anymore. I have emailed them but not getting my hopes up for a good response. Anyone know of another avenue or if an older firmware version would be okay to try?...

Chosen Solution Great guide! Because the blender makes a “burnt rubber” whenever its run regardless of load, I removed the cover from the base to inspect the fan, motor, and assembly. Seeing nothing amiss, I cradled the base (inverted) and “pulsed” the blender. For every pulse, there was a flash of bright light. It was white, not orange. Is this normal? Could this be arcing? That might explain the “burning” smell....

Chosen Solution Hi I’m having issues sometimes with a new battery. In Genius Bar check correct battery health. The problem is that the battery state changes from goog to poor state and the system suddenly stops using it . Have or not the charger, stop using it. So if you do not realize and disconnect the charger turns off and if you have the charger turns off directly . When this issue occur it’s necessary make a smc restart and wait to fully battery charge....
