Chosen Solution It seems as if the washer won’t spin all the water out of each load… Could the drain or pump be partially clogged? It spins just fine, but clothes are still real wet at the end of cycles.. Cause 1 Drain Pump Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions....

Chosen Solution My parents Macbook Pro A1502 recently developed some heavy screen glitching / colorful flickering all over. Here’s what I checked so far: Issue starts right after boot to full UI, more present where there is (mouse) movement.Rarely there are a few seconds where everything looks fine, fullscreen videos on YT weirdly seem to be ok.Still glitches in red/green/blue if I set MacOS UI to grayscaleScreen also looks mostly fine during startup or diagnostics but sometimes shows the issue during the software update screenThe problem is not present on an external display (HDMI) or in screenshotsIf an external screen is connected via HDMI, the flickering/glitching on the internal screen and the external display stops (HDMI cable w/o a device connected on the other end does nothing, though)elementary OS does not show the same problemsDiagnostics additionally show NDC001, “CPU System Agent Core” in iStat Menus sometimes reads 0˚ (which I believe the machine might have already shown when I gave it to them 3 years ago, so probably unrelated) Any ideas what the problem might be and how it could be fixed?...

Chosen Solution The laptop had some liquid spilled recently. The power connector was dirty and the battery wasn’t charging. I cleaned the contacts and it worked for 2 months. But now when you press the power button the CPU fan spins for 4 seconds, then shuts off and keeps looping. When I press the power button a lot every now and then after a minute or two it could chime and start to boot....

Chosen Solution Hey, So I have a Vodafone smart prime 6 with a cracked screen (see here) and the touchscreen only registers touch on the right hand side. I was just wondering if there is any away of fixing this easily without costing too much? That’s about it, just thought it was worth a shot asking on here. Thanks! Your digitizer is broken and will need to be replaced. Unfortunately the glass and the LCD are fused together, so you’ll likely need to replace the whole front assembly for the most successful repair....

Chosen Solution Got a 96,97 or a 98 Camry that cranks over but wont catch drove it last night went out today and it wont start michael, more info. may of helped engine,auto/manual any previous work done recently,etc. The first thing to check is there fuel in the tank, do you hear the fuel pump come on and cycle/ is the security lite on. You may have to have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes as a start as many things can cause your vehicle not to start, faulty crank sensor, Ignition module, coil packs, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, fuel pump, etc....

Chosen Solution My 2 year old toshiba laptop has dark grey blotches mostly on sides of screen difficult to read @drain44 start by connecting an external monitor to your laptop. If that displays properly you know that your GPU works properly but the issue may be connected to your LCD. If it does not you have issue with the processor on the motherboard. Blotches on the screen are usually caused by a broken/failed LCD display not a cabling issue....

Chosen Solution Hi, I recently ordered and recieved a broken apple watch series 4 from eBay, it was said that it showed absolutely no sign of life. I tried opening it and testing the battery, but nothing came up from that. Would anyone else know what else could be the reason that the watch suddenly stopped working completely? Thanks, Simon Hi Simon, I really hope you bought the watch because you really wanted an Apple Watch rather than wanting to hone your repair expertise....

Chosen Solution Just got in a vintage Apple iSight Webcam. Used my iTunes account for the account. Set my audio volume in System Preferences -> Input -> iSight. Input level appears fine. Mute is NOT checked. Output volume set to max. Initiated call to a iPhone 4 via address book. I initiated connection via my MacPro and I could see and hear him just fine. He could see me but not hear me....

Exactly how quickly is it draining? Also, is there any chance that the left side of the LCD looks like it’s starting to lift out of the metal case at all?...

Chosen Solution So, i ordered an iphone 6 battery from amazon and replaced it properly without any damage. Everything went perfectly but after a few days the battery started draining VERY fast. It loses about 50% in an hour. I checked the battery capacity using different tools and they all say that battery is at 100% capacity. I even did the geekbench test to see the performance and the performance increased to the new iphone 6 level....

Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve an iPad 1st Gen which doesn’t charge at all. Of course I’ve tried different cables and chargers. When I connect it to power, the iPad “knows” that iit should charge, because the empty battery screen changes the icon below. (if I remember correctly, it goes from “Plug-arrow-lightning” to only a lightning icon). I left it charging more than a night (I know it requires at least 10 miinutes) on a 10W charger, but nothing changed....

Chosen Solution has anyone replaced the bearings the trackball rides on? Usually they just need a good cleaning with a q-tip and some alcohol. Soy candle wax worked!! Ohh my god!!! Wax works Eyeglass cleaner - the type with some kind of silicone whatever that fills in small scratches - leaves the ball and bearing-nubs almost too slippery. Sadly, wears off quickly, so flattened nubs will have to be replaced with something....

Chosen Solution I dropped my flat iron a few times in the salon and now the preset temperature settings shoot up to 465 when its only supposed to go to 450! Also, when I select a preset temperature the iron used to automatically adjust to the desired temperature needed for the hair and now it just stays put or it would sporadically skyrocket in temperature the minute I pick it up!...

Chosen Solution my handset is turning on and then going on to a plane white screen with reset app error 523 i have tried so many times but is still not working nadine, try this “Perform a hard reset by removing the battery from the BlackBerry smartphone and reinserting it. If the error message persists, perform a reload or upgrade the BlackBerry Device Software.” from here. The cause for the error 523 is that the phone encountered a Java Virtual Machine application related problem and is unable to continue running....

Chosen Solution how do i unlock boot on my ford focus ambiente (south africa) Looks like a common problems for this vehicle. This is what I found out"With the key OFF, pull the panel where the button is mounted . Pull the wire connector block off the back of the switch and put it back on a few times to clear any crud off the contacts. Maybe spray a little electronics cleaner into the switch body and press/wiggle the button a few times to clean the internal contact in the switch....

Chosen Solution On first attempt, monitor gave “HDMI, no signal”. There weren’t any beeps or processing sounds. The only sounds coming from tower were the CPU and Tower fans. Tried some suggestions from DrGlowire on a similar question, such as testing the voltages of PS. tested the the 24 pin plug and found all within range except one (Blue -11.17 where range is -11.52 to -12.48. Then tried minimum config with PS connected to MB and 1 stick of RAM but did not know how to check voltages when PS is plugged into MB....

Chosen Solution I have been trying to fix a phone for a relative of mine, and the rear camera refuses to work, even after replacing it. Before I got it from them, I was told that “Pushing in on the camera lens would temporarily fix the camera problem”. Sounds like a connector issue then, right? Nope, that’s not what it was. After opening it up, gluing the glass lens piece back in place, disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cable, it still didn’t work....
