Chosen Solution Hi everyone. I’ve had my Samsung j3 for about 2 and a half years now and until recently all was well. One day, i noticed that the battery was draining unusually fast and despite trying everything, including buying a new battery and charger cable, contacting Samsung support and performing a full factory reset, i still have the same problem. I did notice however, that my old charging cable should have 5 ‘pins’ in the phone connection tip, yet it only had 4....

Chosen Solution Hello! So I’m trying to get some stripped screws out of the bottom of an iPhone 6. And they are insanely stripped … Is there a best method for getting them out? Drill? Dremmel? If you have a dremel tool with a very fine cutting wheel you can make a slot in the head of the screw and take it out with a flat head screwdriver but you will end up marking your case...

Chosen Solution Hello, I was redoing the thermal paste on my switch, and accidentally broke off two tiny little metal squares - the two on the left of the four circled in the image. They flew off somewhere and since they’re less than 1mm big I cannot find them, and have no idea what they even are or how to fix them. How badly did I break my switch and is there anything I can do?...

Chosen Solution How do I get the phone to tell me if the person I am calling is on the line Hi, If the person you are calling is on the phone and has the Call Waiting facility enabled then you will get the normal ringing tone until they answer.

Chosen Solution So I opened my iMac to replace the hard drive and on my way back to put it together I saw this pin that was bent. And as I tried to bend it back, I broke it.

Chosen Solution I just had my back panel replaced thru a 3rd party repair. The repairman used a B-7000 glue to seal the back, and i’m just wondering. If the phone is no longer 100% IP68, can it still survive the rain? Is there any other way to check without having it get dunked in water or rained on? Since the screen also has cracks right now and i don’t have enough money to have it repaired (esp....

Chosen Solution My blutooth headset’s left earbud is not working properly. It is because the wire is loose I guess; sound just comes when I’m not moving.

I would open it up and jiggle the wiring looking for a loose connection then solder it....

Chosen Solution Hello, my phone fell in the beach for 5 seconds. I have it in rice, but read that you need to use isopropyl alcohol to clean it. The problem is I cant find it anywhere. Can I use a contact cleaner (like Sabo contact cleaner ) to clean my phone instead of the isopropyl alcohol? This is the product:[ http://www.sabointernacional.com/shoppin…| http://www.sabointernacional.com/shoppin…] Thanks. The idea is that IPA displaced the water and then evaporates much faster....

Is this possible on the M1’s?

Chosen Solution Hey Peeps, I have an 2005 Mazda Premacy and the central locking doesn’t like working, it may work 1 out of 10 times but other than that it won’t lock the back doors. Does anyone know if this is a common issue with these models and/or how to fix.
