Goes apple logo, 2-3 secs later, the logo fades off then restarts all over again. Please help resolve! the phone had 1 month completely dead. had no sings of life what so ever, and today i just placed it in the freezer for curiosity for an hour and the phone came back to life and now this is the problem....

Chosen Solution I have a 2015 Kia Sorento. I noticed a bad smell coming from my air vents about a week ago when I was in park with the heater on. It’s not a sweet smell like antifreeze and it’s not a stinky smell like rotten eggs. It’s more of an electrical smell. I took it to the dealership and they changed the cabin filter and said they looked it over and couldn’t find anything....

Chosen Solution 17” MacBook Pro (Mid 2010). Replaced the battery a couple years back with an iFixit battery. Recently redid my office setup and took everything out so unplugged everything. This machine is used to handle old HW like my 3D scanner, etc that isn’t supported by newer Macs and OSX’es. So not paying attention and this machine was up (albeit asleep) when I unplugged it. Probably was 4-5 wks before I got around to setting this one up again....

Chosen Solution Hi, I know this question is already here but my phone switched off and it hasn’t switched on for like almost an hour now. It’s currently on the charger and there’s no light at all to indicate that it’s charging. I tried the “press the volume up/down button + the power button” thing but nothing. Is it a lost cause? My phone has a non-removable battery. Thanks. I’m guessing you tried pressing Volume Down + Power and not Volume down + up and power for 15 seconds already, so after that you tried plugging the charger in but still no response from the phone....

Chosen Solution I’m looking to upgrade my late-2014 27” iMac ‘s 3TB Fusion drive (32GB RAM, 4.0GHz). I am hoping to increase the speed since I do a lot of photo editing of large files in Adobe. My current Fusion drive consists of a 128GB PCI SSD and a 3TB HDD. Would it be better (in terms of speed) to get a 1TB PCI SSD and leave the HDD, or leave the 128GB PCI SSD and replace the HDD with something like a 2TB SSD....

Chosen Solution I can switch on the MBP, but I need to press power button twice and hold it until the chime sound to turn it on. Once it turns on, it works just fine, except the fan now is gradually running to full speed although I did not perform anything on the system, even if i boot into recovery mode, the fan will gradually run into full speed. I noticed that the memory slot temp is quite high, at 90C, so maybe that is the reason the fan run at full speed....

Chosen Solution Can we play GTA4 in this laptop Very unlikely, but compare your specs to the minimum requirement for GTA 4 to find out. Unfortunatly no. Looking at the specs of your laptop; this device wont be able to run GTA4 even on the lowest settings. I suggest using Game-debate and inserting your specs in there - itll show you what games you can play and where the bottlenecks of your system are best of luck, Eric
