Chosen Solution I am repairing my A1418 iMac late 2015 EMC 2833, and I can’t seem to find a proper solution to the problem. On boot, one of two things happen. Either it goes straight to looping the startup chime and the fan speed goes crazy. There is also no display output. The other thing that happens is sometimes, I can get to internet recovery mode as the hard drive has been wiped, but after between 5 seconds to 10 minutes, the computer freezes and goes back to looping the startup chime with no display output....

Chosen Solution My MacBook Pro has 92.84 GB capacity. I get messages that the startup disk is full even though i am not using heavy graphic files or creating graphic design in InDesign. I transferred about 5.2 GB of files to an external hard drive (again), regularly reset Safari but wonder how my hard drive is getting so full? Programs such as InDesign require about 10% free hard drive space regardless of size....

Chosen Solution My iMac will suddenly and randomly power down in the middle of use. There is no warning, and no coming back from the power off state an indeterminate amount of time. I’ve tried resetting SMC and changing power cords with no success. When it’s working, it can go several days with no problems, but will always eventually do the power-off thing. I’ve had one local shop (non apple) suggest it’s the logic board (which I’m inclined to believe)....

Chosen Solution Every time I try to download an app Google play says I need to delete apps to make room when I have plenty of storage left Hi, What storage are you talking about? If it is SD Card storage then the problem is that Android installs apps in the ‘Internal’ storage area by default. Check your Internal storage space availability. You can move apps to the SD Card IF the app developer has enabled the option to do so when the app was created....

Chosen Solution The rear light flashed once then pauses before flashing again. Refrigerator won’t cool. I have replaced the inverter board and relay protector and still won’t work. Thoughts? Thanks Hi @andy22 , Here’s the start of the self diagnostic function troubleshooting section of the service manual for the refrigerator. On the following page it describes what the error lights mean. There is also a manual test mode description on p....

Chosen Solution MY friends Xbox 360 had the dreaded RROD recently and since I fixed a few prior I figured no sweat, but unfortunately this one was not fixed. (Actually, my luck with fixing Xbox’s is at a current 2-2. Two worked and two didn’t.) Im now left wondering why this time the Xbox didn’t work. I used the “X-Clamp” fix where you replace the X-Clamps with 5mm machine screws and applied new thermal paste (even using the thermal paste remover and purifier....

Chosen Solution My MacPro tower does not light up the screen after startup. The chime goes off, but nothing happens! I have tried holding the P and R and COMMAND keys down on startup, but that made no difference! It has Yosemite10.10 installed, but if I can get it going I want to install SNOW LEOPARD on it as Yosemite seems to have too many bugs in it yet. Anybody has any good advice for me?...

Chosen Solution The Thermal Cutoff Fuse has an impedance of 0.4 KOhm. I believe this is OK, but please correct me if I am wrong. When plugged in the blue light does come on the kettle, but the water does not heat up. Do you have any ideas on where else the problem might be? Thanks in advance. Could be any of several things. Let’s go straight to the horses mouth and see if they have a solution: https://www....

Chosen Solution The top of the screen {like 1/4} is darker then next has lines going through it. The rest is fine. I am in the process of repairing a Samsung ln40b530p7n with similar issues as you are experiencing. After testing voltages with a multimeter I found the gamma IC on the t-con board has incorrect voltage readings in a few areas. On the board I’m repairing there are 22 test points on the t-con board to check the gamma IC voltages....

Chosen Solution My radio(non bose) only works from the steering wheel controller….It does not light up nor do any of the buttons work on the actual unit, I can change channels and volume from the steering wheel though…..any ideas. This is actually as strange as it sounds a problem with the clock spring in the steering column. The problem will be in the ground on the clock spring . You will find 2 grounding wires on the backside of the clock spring ....

After being unplugged a few hours the compressor starts and runs and cools refrigerator and freezer ( runs about 4 to 6 hours). Kicks off but cannot restart compressor. It just clicks. What do I look at next? Please help. Been without it for a week now....

Chosen Solution Hello everybody, The battery of my Macbook Air 11" early 2014 is really getting bad and it’s telling me to replace it soon. The Macbook was bought in the US and I live in Germany. So I’m wondering if there is a difference between the US battery and a battery I could buy here. The battery that is currently in there is Model A1465 EMC Rated 14.85V - 3....

If I want to swap hardware id (serial, imei or anything that connect to icloud) from the broken to locked one, wich one IC that I must swap? This has been asked and answered before. Here’s a long thread about it. Hope it helps. Good luck, it’s a difficult repair....

Chosen Solution I couldn’t have described my problem anywhere else, as I was getting bizarre results for my searches.The problem that I am facing is that the small metal piece(The part that goes inside the phone while charging) on the lightning cable broke and I don’t know what to do, I browsed how can I repair the jack or something like that, but the repairing involved some serious precision work(Clipping/precise soldering) and I don’t want to follow that currently, Meanwhile a thought came to my mind, but I’m not sure if it is even going to work or not?...

Chosen Solution I ripped of the connect or while cleaning. Can someone explain me how to fix this myself? Is this a ruff job? I see alot of tutorials on how to fix them, but they all concentrate on getting the plug back on the board - but do you really need the plug? if not you can do as i did paygonline.com The pin has 5V, GND, DATA 1 and DATA 2 connections....

Chosen Solution A fence fell on the side of my iPhone 7. Screen turns on but does not boot up. Apple diagnostic software says it is completely done. I will pay $500 to get these photos back. What is the best data recovery service for this. Will probably have to put logic board into new phone to take data off. Not sure though. The only way to recover the data if you don’t have a backup is to fix the board “enough” to get it to boot and be recognized by iTunes....

Chosen Solution My 12 foot living room slide stopped working. It apparently has 2 motors which are synchronized to work each end of the slide when I press the extend or retract button. One of the two motors stopped working. My Thor motorhome manual does not show a fuse for the motors in the fuse panel. (1) Is there a fuse for these motors & if so, where will I find them?...
