Chosen Solution They work great till I get on a really loud lawn mower, then all I hear is the lawn mower. I have had these headphones may be a month. Update Thank you, But the headphones worked great the first few times I used them. Now they pick up the sound of the motor. I bought these headphones for this purpose. Hi Deb, Noise cancelling headphones are great for quieting low frequency and ambient sounds; airplane engines, air conditioners etc....

Chosen Solution How do I get a replacement plug for the left speaker as the pin in the plug is cracked Based on pictures on the connector, you might be better off replacing the damaged part connector with a DC plug style system. Order up a DC male/female plug set like this one and solder one connector to the board where this weird “left” connector used to be. Then strip and solder the other adapter to the cable you have now....

Chosen Solution I have been scouring the web for replacement screens, is it easier to replace the whole assembly or just the glass? In general and specifically for my device. Clint White, if you are referring to a Lumia830 it is definitely easier to replace the complete display. Unless of course you have the tools like an LCD separator and have done this a couple of times.Even replacing the complete assembly is a bit of a chore....

Chosen Solution Im trying to get this Dell Inspiron 1300 working again. The fan is dead and getting a new or used seem hard. So I end up with an idea to take another fan from Lenovo.

Chosen Solution Can I upgrade my CPU A8 to A10??! My laptop is HP pavilion dv6 I believe so. They both have the same sockets, FS1. I used these two pages to compare them. A8 and A10 I also managed to find HP’s official service manual for your laptop, so you can use it to aid in replacing it. http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.p… (CPU replacement is on page 95) Good luck!

Chosen Solution The three string of led lights are connected in series. the last string is bright and the others are dim. What can I do? Have you replaced any of the bulbs or fuses?If you still have the box the lights came in, check to see the wattage of the bulbs it takes. Assuming you are talking about mini-lights, you can’t mix wattages. Some take the 2.5 - 3.5 watt bulbs, and others take 6 watt bulbs....

Chosen Solution How do you push the rear brake pistons back into the caliber to replace the pads. Is the emergency brake cable a problem? Do the pistons screw back in using a special tool? Randy, Use a C-clamp and one of the old pads. Turn it in slowly. That’s what I do. Frank

Chosen Solution Hi, I have a 2008 Unibody Macbook that I found the other day in a drawer and I tried to turn it on but there is no signs of life. The magsafe charger doesn’t have any light on it and the fans doesn’t spin, and the battery indicator has no lights. Although the laptop gets hot around the logic board. Could it be a dead logic board, if not then how do I resurrect it?...

Chosen Solution Anyone know if the 2017’s SSD will work in the 2016? If you have a mid 2017 function keys model and a late 2016 function keys model the SSD should be interchangeable. MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Function Keys, Late 2016-2017) SSD You’ll need to wait until IFIXIT has had a chance to open one up to see what Apple has setup.

But when i boot into the OS the backlight does not funktion and i need a bright light to see anything. Your backlight control logic is messed up! See if resetting your SMC resolves it How to reset the SMC of your Mac If not, time to visit an Apple Store so they can reset it Do make sure your battery has a charge before you go

Chosen Solution Hi, My iMac display died some weeks ago. It was a well known issue: several colored stripes on the screen (green in my case) and the iMac would not boot up. After researching the problem I quickly diagnosed that it was the GPU that was failing. I found several posts online which suggest to try and bake the GPU in the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degree celsius....

Chosen Solution Hello! I updated my IOS to IOS 12 and ever since I have updated it I’m facing a problem of battery drain issue and random shutdowns at around 70%. Battery Health is showing 94% and phone ran perfectly fine before this issue, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Thanks, Fahad Be aware that iOS 12 is a beta software and bugs are to be expected. This is probably a beta software problem because I know other people that have this problem too....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have recently replaced the battery in my 2015 MacBook Air and have been having some issues that I can’t find any information about online. MacOS says ‘Battery Detected: No’, but says the battery health is ‘Normal’. When I unplug the MagSafe connector, the Mac goes into sleep mode instantly so I can only use it when plugged in. But, I can unplug the MacBook Air when in Recovery Mode and it doesn’t turn off instantly....
