Chosen Solution It operated normally until one day she stopped heating. when joining: light shines, shakes plate, but does not heat Before you stick your grubby fingers in there, call your life insurance agent and ask if your policy pays double indemnity for accident death or if working on a microwave is considered suicide.

Chosen Solution The part where i am supposed to connect the charger to the phone is broken. Is this fixable? Yep! I think the part is about $10 if you look around online (cheaper if you know how to solder one). Good luck!

Chosen Solution I have an organization Dell Latitude 3190 laptop, and I use a mouse and USB drive a lot on it, but earlier today I discovered that the USB drive (with bitlocker) was being spammed with the unlock message. I decided to look at the port and try switching the mouse and the drive, and there was a deformation of the port. What can I buy to replace it, and is it possible to do so?...

Chosen Solution Dark spots on left side of LCD from top to bottom evenly spaced? They are not lines, its not a broken lcd, and its not a faulty lcd, a new one has the same spots. My only guess is maybe a backlight fuse? but the other 99% of the lcd is fine. It looks like only part of the back light is not lighting up. They are spaced about 1cm apart and go no deeper than 1cm into the lcd from the frame....

Chosen Solution Hi, I had my own iPhone 7 disabled after putting a wrong code several times. I went to the Apple Store and the only solution they gave me was to reset it. The problem is that I don’t have a recent backup in iTunes (last one was 1 year ago) and I really need to reactivate it to access to all the pictures I had in it. Please help, i am sure it should be another way to access to my data....

Chosen Solution I’ve rented a few games from my local library, and they have worked when I first insert them. However, after a day or two, it just doesn’t read and reports “Unrecognized Disc”. They’re perfectly clean, but they just stop. The same thing happens with other games. All games that I’ve tried are Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3, Black Ops 3, and Fallout 4. Try cleaning the disc Rom. Cleaning disc....

Chosen Solution Hi, i have had my base model 2015 Macbook pro for a while now but only recently has my screen shown these problems. When the macbook starts the screen is normal with the exeption of a couple dead pixles, then after about 30-60Min use the screen gains a red tint, more dead pixels and at times red lines across the screen. I have asked around but no one has been able to dirrectly identify the problem, i assume its a screen problem an i intend to replace the screen myself but before i spend $500 buying the part i would like to hear your opinions to what it may be....

Chosen Solution Hi I changed my battery today with an ifixit kit. Went well until I tried to charge and I can’t get it to! I have tried official apple charger, from diff outlets and the insulating later on top of the battery connector is in tact. I read somewhere that I should let my battery die and then start to charge - does anyone have ideas of what else I could try before taking it into a shop with my tail between my legs?...

Chosen Solution Why doesnt my Kenmore washer drain or spin? @tgbaird1974 the DRN means your washer isn’t draining properly. It’s pretty generic since anything that causes your washer from draining can pop this code. I would check the drain/drain pump and cleanout. It’s amazing what a couple of lost socks can do :-). Anyhow, once we have a complete model number we can hopefully provide you with more specific information....

Chosen Solution when plug in headphones, only one side works. Have tried many different headphones, still same result. Can a new female jack be installed? yes - the audio jack can be changed i’ve seen many of those parts on ebay but maybe you shuold look inside the jack if there is anything stuck in it - that could also prevent it from working properly

Chosen Solution In my Haier Laptop model 5Y10C ethernet option is not available in the adapter options Hi, Is there an ethernet port in the laptop that an ethernet cable can be connected to? There is no mention of an ethernet connection in the specifications listed in the user manual only WiFi.

Chosen Solution MacBook Pro 15" Retina A1398 Does changing UK keyboard for German one require me to update or flash some kind of firmware or update software? I have replaced keyboard from UK to German and now I have information that something is draining too much power and the USB has to be disabled. El Captain is giving me kernel crash pointing towards USB xhci and not booting, Updating to High Sierra gives me sleep/wakeup failure pointing towards USB and two dead USB ports (but SD card reader and HDMI working just fine) and info about drawing too much power, downgrading to Mountain Lion makes one of USB (left side) working but I think as USB 2....

I think things went okay but after putting everything back together, the following two problems came up: the selfie camera does not turn on. Its just black. the normal camera is fine.

Chosen Solution Hello, I’ve tried getting the power steering pressure hose out of the car for replacement but I get the hose out. I have detached the top part attached to the PS pump and the inverted flare near the rack and pinion (which is a 14mm) is out finally. However I don’t know what tools to use or how to get the rest of the hose out. It’s the 3....

Chosen Solution At the back of my ps4 slim where the top cover with the ps logo is on is bent so it’s exposed, and I’m wondering if you can fix it? Ian, if you’re on this site, then the question you should be asking is not, “can you fix it”, but rather, “can I fix it?” iFixit is a site dedicated to enabling you to fix your own devices no matter what it is....

Chosen Solution Hello, my iPhone doesn’t want to connect to cellular. First I replaced all the antennas. Still not working. I accidentally pressed on the sim card reader and then the connection came back. Only for a couple seconds. If the sim card reader would be broken why does it ask for the PIN code. The cellular comes back only if I press on the sim card reader with my thumb but only for 3s....

Chosen Solution The laptop does not start and gets heated on the left rear side upon charging. You could try to clean the dust and replace your thermal paste. Overheating is the most common issue for laptops when they boot and shut down after a while. Although in desktops it’s quite easy to clean the dust and re-apply thermal paste, in laptops it’s a bit harder. If you don’t know how to disassemble it, it could become really troublesome....
