Chosen Solution Hi. I replaced the rear camera in an iphone 7. But now the camera will only focus up close. The camera i replaced was bad, when activated the screen was black, any ideas as to why this is ? Best Not sure if it’s just me but I’ve been getting plenty of bad replacement parts for iPhone 7 when it comes to rear camera and front camera. Chances are the replacement part is faulty....
Chosen Solution So basically my PS3 Slim which hasnt been updated since 2015 has a broken wifi chip and its stuck on the update and theres no way to exit out or go into safe mode. If I buy a new PS3 Slim, can I move my hard drive to the new one and continue with the update? Hard drive space isnt the problem. Its a 320GB, and only 20GB has been used....
Chosen Solution A while back I learned the hard way about the massive performance drop if the laptop runs without having a battery connected to it. If I were only to connect the battery’s PCB (controller chip) without it being wired to the power cells of course, would my Macbook detect it as a battery? There’s no performance drop whatsoever if you disconnect the battery on the Mac you’ve marked as being the one you’re interested in....

Chosen Solution my 1999 toyota camry speedometer and mileage not working, and my car movement is bad . @uche4706 your car does not have a speedometer cable. Your Toyota’s speedometer is controlled by a Speed Sensor (VSS)that is attached to the top of the bell housing. There is a spindle that matches up with the Flywheel, and there is an electronic pickup that detects how fast the Flywheel is spinning and Sends the signal to the Cluster....
Chosen Solution At what milage do you replace a thermostat on a 2014 prius ? ? Hi Eddie, According to the service manual, you’re typically supposed to inspect the thermostat and make sure it is of good quality every other time you change your coolant. You’re suggested to change it every 15,000 miles. So they recommend inspecting it and/or changing it every 30,000 miles. Best Regards, Drew
Chosen Solution Hi I have the same problem, it seems to send 40volts to the back lights then slowly loses it, the power board does look like it’s got hot around one capacitor cam this be fixed with out replacing a whole board? Michael Quarterman that is a big depends. It is possible that this is strictly a capacitor issue. It is also possible that this is a failure of some other component that causes a capacitor to fail etc....

Chosen Solution This problem started after I reinstalled OS and while downloading the updates, the electricity supply went off and power was cut. The airport card shows ‘yellow’ light and tries to look for networks just for a second but does not detect any network. I have run extended hardware test and it did not show any hardware problem. What could be the problem and how to resolve it so that I can use wifi....
Chosen Solution Bought it used a year or two ago. It worked fine until a few months ago when it stopped charging. I assumed that the battery had just gone bad. Bought a new one, installed it, and it still won’t charge. So either the new battery is faulty or something else is wrong with the watch (either from age or from when I opened it up). It is probably not possible to troubleshoot any further, or not cost-effective as the part that is probably bad would cost more to replace than the watch is worth....

TV Model Samsung UN65HU7250...
Chosen Solution I bought a battery online and I guess it was handled roughly during shipping. There was one dent and I squeezed it back in shape thats why it looks almost proper in the pictures I provided. I was wondering if it would still be safe to use and not cause any explosions or fires in the long run. No unusual smell or anything leaking out of it that I can notice....

I can’t even see the menu option or any control options to try and reset it or change anything. Hi @skylerxo , Do you get audio at all and just no picture?
