Chosen Solution I have changed the device screen. Indeed, I disconnected the battery cable after installation. The phone works, but it restarts itself every 5-7 minutes and the charge rate is 2%. I have checked the battery cable and it’s installed properly. I also checked the battery ratios in settings and it was unknown instead of numbers it shows to me (-) although the battery was fine before the screen was broken and also when I tested the screen in the middle of the installationI apologize for the language, I use google translate Is the problem with the cable,or the battery?...

Chosen Solution I’ve replaced over 50 iphone screens but today I did a 6plus and a 5s. Both showed a normal lock screen before replacement. After replacing both screens, for the same customer, both phones are asking to be connected to itunes, “iphone disabled” the 6 plus was fine for the first hour, but now the screen is unresponsive and says connect to itunes. This has never happened before so I’m lost as to what to do....

Chosen Solution Hi, the CPU fan of my iMac is running at full speed. iStat says it’s not running (0rpm). The temperatur sensor is working, my ASP says, that’s a problem with the logicboard. Any resets (SMC, PRAM) are done but this problem is still there. I just bought an external fan control but first I want to ask if somebody know the pin assignment of the CPU fan plug....

Chosen Solution I have a Craftsman walk behind model 917.377962 with a solid state engine (I think it is a Tecumseh). It will start when primed then dies. Will keep running if I keep pushing the primer. The small gasket that the needle fits in is cracked and I can not blow air though it with the gasket in place but can blow air though when gasket is taken out. Any help is appreciated and God Bless Thomas...

Chosen Solution Hi everyone, I get little confused about this line of Mac Pro. If I am right (if I am wrong please correct me with some example): 2009 / 2010 / 2012 have SAME logic board (the big board what is attached to the case) only diference is the CPU/RAM board ? That is what making difference between 1CPU/2CPU’s ? So if I will have 2009 1CPU Mac and I will swap the 2CPU’s/RAM board (just the board with CPU’s and RAM what “slide in”) from 2012 it will work and I will have 2012 Mac Pro ?...

Chosen Solution Hello, hoping someone can help me with this. So I assumed the problem was a faulty video card (7300GT) so I bought a new one and fitted it, correctly as I’ve done this a few times before. However I’m still getting weird artefacts on the screen, thinking about it they ar different to the ones you get with the GPU overheating/solder problem on these machines, and shouldn’t have bought it so quick....

Chosen Solution Tipped a cup of green tea on the computer. Instantly tilted the computer over and scrubbed it with paper towels. I have confirmed all hardware is working (I am submitting this post from the computer in question). I opened up the computer and dried out all traces of water. The only issue I have is the battery is not charging. I read through a dozen posts and downloaded coconutBattery....

Chosen Solution Hello So I’ve been having problems with my laptop recently. The laptop isn’t even that old (bought it on Oct 2017) but the battery is already showing its age. Symptoms are it’d stop charging randomly but it will resume itself and when I play a game with high performance battery profile it would just instantly die when it hits a certain battery level, as low as 30% and a few days ago it died on 70% battery....

Chosen Solution Hey, I needed a new microphone on my Sony Xperia E5 because it was broken, so I took the mobile apart, changed it and then put it together. When I pusched the power button it turned on but the screen was still black. The phone reacts to touch, charching works, sounds work. It is actually not totally black, in a dark room I can see whether it’s off or on....

Chosen Solution I have a Bosch dishwasher that will turn on and start running for a few minutes but never for the full cycle. It displays “Fault E05” on the screen. I have tried turning it on and off as well as disconnecting it from the circut breaker and waiting for a few minutes before starting it on again. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Unforunately, when an appaliance repair person came (I hoped to simply replace the float switch) he explained that the power module was broken (as the link I posted for error code E05 suggested)....

Chosen Solution So was updating firmware to fix an issue with a Samsung Note 5 using odin. And phone was accidently disconnected when it was part way through the firmware update. Now it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions or sites I should go to would be appreciated. May just need to sell it for parts. Thanks. Hi @gkjarhead , This website may offer the best hope.

Chosen Solution Hello, I want a firm answer on whether or not I can replace a broken motherboard with a new one. Someone mentioned the IMEI # being locked or something. Does that mean anything with what I am trying to do? Absolutely. It is a relatively straightforward process as long as you have samsung repair experience. The hardest thing is making sure the replacement board you get is A) Not blacklisted (You can check the IMEI to confirm this or even call your carrier with the IMEI and they can confirm this as well B) The board is either globally unlocked or with the correct carrier and C) that there’s been no water damage or repair work ect done to the board you’re looking at....

Chosen Solution I had a cheap screwdriver (got a better one now) and have managed to strip the middle tri point screw on the metal thingy covering the display and battery connections. I just cant get it out. I was thinking of bending the metal thingy to disconnect the display. Should I try this or not? What can go wrong if I dont disconnect the battery? Hey, I managed to replace the screen the way I described in the original post and it WORKS!...

Chosen Solution So I love the size of the 5s, love the camera on the 6. Too poor to get the 5SE. Can I buy a replacement camera from the 6 and use it for the 5s? No. How long do this kind of questions have to keep appearing? It’s not like a USB camera, they have ZERO interoperability.

Chosen Solution During a screen replacement job, is there any way to test the home button before I remove it from the original screen if that screen is not working? You can, but the phone will need to have enough charge to turn on. You can press the home button and feel the haptic feedback from it. Some phones may have it on silent so flip the side switch if needed....

Chosen Solution Some background information: I replaced my iphone screen and since then the earpiece speaker doesn’t work. I used multiple flex cables and screens. I have another phone that had an earpiece working, then i moved it to the phone I’m trying to fix and it doesn’t work. Then I moved it back to the original phone and the earpiece doesn’t work! I’ve spend hours exchanging parts over and over and no matter what I do I can’t get the earpiece to work in either of the phones now....

Chosen Solution I have Windows XP, which is no longer supported. Can it be upgraded to a newer Windows OS? Hi, You may be out of luck. Given that the laptop was first introduced >15 years ago, it is showing its age and basically it is not worth the effort or the cost in trying to upgrade it to Win 10. The following are just some of the problems you will come across if you want to try....

Chosen Solution I’ve been trying to make a logic board upgrade iPhone 6 to 8 but wasn’t sure of it was possible since each gen has different pin outputs, can I just change the chip? Hello Alex, unfortunately even identical CPU replacements in iPhones are beyond even the best micro-solderer’s ability. You could not even swap an A8 for another A8 taken from a different iPhone 6 motherboard. This is because the CPU, Modem, Flash memory, and eeprom chips are all paired to one another....
