Chosen Solution I was thinking of replacing the face buttons with pink rather than orange, and then making a custom top shell. Can’t really find any 2ds-specific buttons, so I was wondering if they’re the same size as other 3ds models. I figure that they are, but it’s best to check. Thanks. Hi No they are different unfortunately, the little notches on the edges of the buttons which ensure they are seated in the right hole on the housing and the right way up are different....

Chosen Solution Recently I decided to breathe some life back into the old family iMac, it is an early 2008 model 24inch, 2.8ghz intel core 2 duo, 2gb ram, ATI radeon HD 2600 Pro 256mb and now has a 256gb macbook pro SSD installed. Yes you read right a MBP Retina SSD, I was given a water damaged macbook from a friend that spilt water on it a few years ago and have had it in their cupboard for the last two years....

Chosen Solution I just replaced the battery in my old Surface Pro 4. After reassembly, the device powers up and the backlight comes on, but nothing comes up on the display. I have connected it to an external monitor and confirmed that it is booting to the OS. I have also confirmed that the touch functionality is still working, by mirroring the main display with the external. If I’m not mistaken, when you disconnect and reconnect the battery in certain surface models, it blows a fuse for the image circuit....

Chosen Solution I have two dishwashers. After 17 years, I started getting a fishy bad smell on some of my dishes. I replaced both dishwashers. Smell in both continued. Replaced all hoses and garbage disposal. Smell continued. Had drain line power washed all the way from kitchen to street. Still smells. Replaced air gap (using a single air gap designed for two dishwashers). Never run dishwashers at same time and run garbage disposal before running dishwasher....

Chosen Solution When i am playing games my battery charge starts flickering what i mean is it charges then stops the charges again. When i shutdown my games the battery starts charging please help this is annoying. Thanks you so much Check what power settings you have you laptop set to in Windows. Sometimes it can cause issues. Also check to make sure that your battery connections are not faulty and have a solid connection and likewise for the power cable and the power jack on the motherboard....

Chosen Solution Hi there, I was wondering if the temp sense pads/tracks are essential to charging, powering and/or turning on the phone. I am currently facing a similar situation as this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-...), where the battery connector has been burnt off. Thank you. Edit: The smaller, slimmer pins/pads could be generally known as signal pins. I’m asking about the middle four pins of the female component. The temp sensor is located on the wireless charging coil on these devices....

Chosen Solution okay, I own a small repair shop and I’ve surprised that no one else has seen this issue before. I’ve had strange issues where, after replacement, the iphone 5 screen has large vertical parallel black bars. Initially, I was buying these off eBay and thought maybe I was getting ripped off (as eBay vendors have become increasing shady lately selling parts with dead pixels and very low quality LCDs)....

Chosen Solution I have a new Niagara toilet that I installed. When I flush, everything seems fine. There is no leak, no odd noise, or anything else. After the tank stops filling, the water level in the bowl slowly drops. It loses about 50% of its water. This is strange because after the flush the water level initially settles at the right spot. The tank looks to have the correct amount of water in it after the flush, and even after the bowl loses its water....

Chosen Solution When I pull the joystick to the left the buttons work just fine. But if i pull my joystick to the right the buttons on the stick stop working any idea? Do the buttons on the base still work, independent of the joystick position? Do the LEDs still light up even when the buttons stop working? If both answers are “yes”, it’s probably a worn PWM signal cable between the joystick and the baseplate....

Chosen Solution When I try to make a call, it shows that it is dialing, but then a “Failed” message comes up. This is a new problem. I am also wondering why the phone screen says “Emergency” at the top left corner. Your suggestions would be very much appreciated. from the sound of it you are just in an area with really bad reception. try moving to a different location where you have full bars and it says that you have full data connectivity also....

Chosen Solution I keep trying to connect the Monitor and Camera Unit to the WiFi, but it’s not working no matter what I do. Poor signal quality can result from low power. First make sure the camera and monitor unit are properly charged. Many common household features can also cause interference and problems with the connection. Make sure that the device is moved away from objects such as TVs, microwaves, and any devices that use a 2....

Chosen Solution This computer, p55w-c5200X, s/n ZF031585S, has 8gb of ddr3l ram, in two 4gb sticks. Can it be upgraded to 16gb by replacing both sticks with 8gb? I did look it up, and you should be able to upgrade to 16 GB of memory. Just be sure that it is the same DDR3L with a speed of 1600MHz. Also 16 GB is going to be your maximum RAM upgrade.

Chosen Solution I was at the gym and accidentally dropped a 45lb dumbbell on my OnePlus 5 and it crushed the motherboard, so now the phone doesn’t work. Is it ever possible to extract information (photos, videos, contacts, etc) from motherboards when they have been crushed? It’s still in one piece, but I’m no cellphone expert, so I’m really not sure about any of this. Hello Tristan, You will need to extract from the phone the SIM card (if it has one), and the SD card (a memory card)....

Chosen Solution My phone was water logged and I had someone take a look at it to see if it can be fixed. Obviously my mistake was not taking it to an authorized apple service center but I didn’t know any better! They seem to have taken a small cover which sits on the back side of the phone, internally. This cover is supposedly not replaceable so I’m stuck with an irreplaceable and unusable iPhone 6....

Chosen Solution I want to put a new 3ds one in my o3ds that won’t charge. If there are the same model DS and battery you should be fine. Because the battery life is different, I would assume this wouldn’t work.

Chosen Solution So I wanna replace the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 in my Acer Aspire 5100 to increase the performance in it as Windows Vista says it’s pretty good except for the ATI Radeon 1100 performance which it rates as only 2.1, anyone know how or if i could? Hi Valoris, It is not really worth doing it for a laptop that old. The hard drive has an IDE/PATA interface so upgrading to an SSD drive is not really an option....

Chosen Solution The housing where the pin connects is broken. Can I replace the housing only? Or do have to replace entire watch? What’s the break even point on something like this. rletsch6, I beleive watch may have a 1 year warranty on it, so try that route first if still under warranty with Samsung. Are you talking about the wrist strap pin hole is damaged, if so it looks like ifixit parts portion of the site sell replacement display assy....

Chosen Solution i dropped my iphone 5c in a toilet and it has been broken for somw time now but i just wanted to know if i could still use the sim card for my iphone 6 or is the sim card also damaged? sim cards don’t normally break as a result of water damage. I would suspect that your sim is not hurt and the problem is with the phone....

Chosen Solution I am working on a Late 2011 MBP 17”. It gets a grey screen when I try to load macOS High Sierra (via USB). I see the apple logo for a while, then just a full grey screen. I’m reading that it’s related to the GPU issue this model has been plagued with. 1) I’ve tried entering single user mode (found some people saying you could disable that GPU and get the computer to work) but single user mode won’t boot (I tried command + r + s before turning on) 2) I also found another article where they removed a specific (capacitor?...

Chosen Solution Most listings for replacement screens including iFixit specify a glass lense, am I correct to assume this won’t be as durable as the OEM screen which was advertised as Gorilla Glass? Fuergrissa72 you won’t find an answer to your question on this forum. We can speculate and guess but will not know for sure. We do not know what vendors do and how they procure their parts. As for the iFixit replacement screen, I suggest that you contact them directly https://help....
