Chosen Solution My beats pill is not charging. Can it fix? A very prevalent problem in lots of bluetooth speakers, including the Beats Pill. The micro-usb spec doesn’t specify a robust enough attachment to the motherboard. Over the course of use, the jack is literally pushed off the PCB, sometimes (often) taking the traces off with it. The replacement of the micro-usb jack is very often not straightforward at all, particularly when the traces have been lifted off....

Chosen Solution My beats will charge but they won’t turn on I’ve already friend to reset them but light won’t turn on Hi ingrid, here’s something you can try: Hold down the power and the mute buttons for about 2 minutes until the lights flash. If it doesn’t work the first time, you may have to do it a couple of times to get it working. This happened my friend before and the 5th time did the trick....

Chosen Solution I owe Nikon D5300, and the viewfinder has dust and blurred vision. I tried cleaning it with cleaning kit but the problem still persists. What is the correct way to fix it. Is the diopter set correctly? On the lower right corner of the viewfinder, if you take the eyecup off, there should be a small dial. Turn it until the focus points are in proper focus.

Chosen Solution Sorry for my English, come from Germany. I have a Macbook Air 13" 2014 Board 820-3437-B, no water damage or anything else. It booted permanently in the loop with the startup sound. I exchanged the EFI/SMC chip for a reprogrammed one. Now it takes about 1 minute until the start tone comes and after about 1 minute the Apple logo appears with the bar. The bar will load for about 45 minutes until the end and then stops....

Chosen Solution The bottom of my touchpad is coming up. It is no longer flush and impossible to click. It is possible that your battery is failing and expanding inside the case. The battery is right underneath the trackpad. Unfortunately it’s a pretty common issue with these laptops.

Chosen Solution my one plus 2 fell in water and I can’t hear anyone on opposite end wen I call.. I can hear em on speaker but not on handset.. WiFi too isn’t working.. wat is the problem?? I can listen to videos and games but can’t hear during calls. The OnePlus 2 uses two different speakers. The ear speaker just puts audio to your ear, while the loudspeaker provides sound for videos....

Chosen Solution My hp pavillio n 13-a013cl takes the same battery i believe. May I use these instructions to replace it? Hi @hifiguy , Here’s a link to the service manual for your laptop, taken from this webpage Scroll to p.38 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the battery. Also on p.38 you’ll find the spare part number for the battery. If you search online using the part number only you’ll get results for suppliers of the part....

Chosen Solution I have a Mid 2012 Macbook Air 13" (A1466 | 5,2 Model). The hinges on this machine is loose so if I am doing anything in the car while someone else is driving, the screen falls all the way to the back position over every bump. Is there a way to just replace the hinges on this model or would I have to replace the whole screen? Thanks in advance of your help!...

Chosen Solution Hello, I have early 2008 8,1 iMac with two 2+2GB modules. I would like to upgrade it to 4+2GB. My questions are: can I keep one of my old 2GB Kingston modules and add just one Crucial/OWC 4GB module to this configuration? Will it be stable? Or do I have to buy matched pair 4+2 made by one manufacturer (OWC, Crucial) to ensure the stability? Is it right to insert 2GB module into the left slot and 4GB into the right slot?...

Chosen Solution Is it possible to disconnect the wireless Bluetooth module and use it for a old desktop PC to make it wireless? No, that won’t work because it won’t have the proper interface, sorry but there’s a bit more to it than that. You will need to get a wireless card for your computer that plugs into an available PCI or PCIe slot on the MB.

Chosen Solution i recently fell on my phone and bent it right where the sim card goes. the screen also cracked. the phone worked find for a couple of days until it started saying “searching” i replaced the screen and it’s still not functioning. please help! i really do not want to spend money on a new phone but everyone keeps telling me that it’s the end of this phone and i need a new one....

Chosen Solution Hey everyone, I recently tried to update to Lollipop 5.0.1 and my phone is currently in a boot loop. Please help. Note: I have already tried factory reset and clearing the cache! I had my nexus 6 in the same state. Reboot to fastboot mode (power + vol down), connect the phone to your PC/Mac via USAB and get the Android “fastboot” executable on the PC/Mac. From here, try a “fastboot format cache” + “fastboot format userdata” then try a fastboot reboot....

Chosen Solution Hi, I’m new to the site. When I try to turn my Macbook 13” on I get 3 beeps followed by 3 more beeps again. This problem had happened 2 months ago but it resolved itself when I traveled with the laptop on a flight, I’m guessing from moving around in the bag. The beeps suddenly came back now. I opened the Mac to see what was wrong and saw nothing visually wrong with the RAM but did see a corroded screw near the battery connection (pic included)....

Chosen Solution Model: Late 2009 iMac 27" A1312 2309 (Core 2 Duo) Need some help please! I woke up one morning recently to find my iMac was dead to any input. It was working fine the night before, I didn’t shut down and just let it go to sleep on it’s own. There is zero response when the power button is pressed, no boot chime, no screen response, no fans/hard drives spin… nothing....

Chosen Solution Hello I bought a D2X in very good condition (30000clic), it worked very well and for a few days when I put an AF lens. The battery indicator goes from full to empty and the focus does not work. works with AF.D and AI lenses. I can’t seem to have the repair manual. I’m used to disassembling this type of camera but I don’t know where the fault comes from....

Chosen Solution My SLR 680 will adjust autofocus on objects far away but won’t focus down to 12” like it should. How can I repair this? This is a problem probably not fixable by yourself. The most likely cause is a photoelectric sensor proprietary to Polaroid and not available in the market. It may even be no longer available as spare part by the original supplier. Maybe you can cannibalize a similar Poaroid Autofocus camera....

Chosen Solution I have had my WonderBoom for about 2 weeks. Everything works fine except when I go to check the battery level by pressing the volume buttons simultaneously, nothing happens. The volume buttons themselves work when turning the music up or down. Any ideas? Thank you. Double click on the buttons simultaneously. Don’t hold for 3 sec like they tell you! I think you’ve confused your self. The WonderBoom does not offer voice services as such it can’t tell you the power levels, the UE Boom series speakers offers that....

Chosen Solution Hi iFixit Forum I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 SM-P550 tablet. The battery stopped charging so thinking it was the battery I had this replaced. Unfortunately that wasn’t the problem as the new battery doesn’t charge either. I then realized that the charge/usb port wasn’t working as when I plug the tablet into a PC the PC doesn’t see the tablet. I had the charge/usb port replaced but this hasn’t fixed the issue....

Chosen Solution It’s been my problem for a month. I am an iPhone user since iPhone 4 was released that’s why most of my saved photos on my mobile was calibrated on iPhone picture size. I decided to switch this year to Samsung, I bought S9 last March. I don’t know if upgrading OS affected my photos. It’s okay if you’re gonna view it on gallery and share but you can’t do a ThrowbackThursday or FlashbackFriday on your IG stories because every time I’m trying, my photos from iPhone can’t be seen (blank tiles)....
