Chosen Solution brake lights not working. lights and fuses good. blinkers stop working some times. emergency flasher work. @perz for your non-functioning brake light you would start by checking the brake light switch on your brake pedal. Make sure that it is working (of course you checked the bulbs etc.) The blinkers sometimes not working could be a n issue with corrosion on the ground wire etc. Check that all the wires going to the relay are in good working order as well....

Chosen Solution I own a 2012 Kia Sorento EX. It’s been quite good all these years. Here’s the issue: When ever I brake and come to a standstill ( For instance at a traffic light stop) the brakes work very well as they should. But as I’m stationary, resting my foot on the firm brake pedal, slowly the pedal starts going soft and slowly sinks to the floor. Simultaneously the car just starts creeping forward....

Chosen Solution Hello guys. I dropped my phone on stones and the screen is broken now.I’m wondering what exactly do i need to get and replace it because it has some dead pixels (i guess) and the screen is cracked but the whole touchscreen is working (like i can aces every part of the screen and move it around even under the dead pixels).Obviously i cant change the glass only so what else would i need ?...

Chosen Solution Hello, I have problem with butterfly keyboard. My spacebar just broke and I don’t know how can i fix that. I brought my laptop to Apple service (I bought it in 2017), and they said, that I need to pay them 1900PLN (445USD) to fix that. What can I do? Hi Butterfly keyboards are quite fiddly to work on but have you tried Blowing compressed air under the key If this isn’t working your best bet is to have a repair shop do it, or if your quite good with small delicate parts you can try and replace the key and clean the switch yourself but this isn’t recommended Hopefully this answers your question Thanks:)

Chosen Solution where can i buy the circular vibration reduction components, one of mine has a rip and creates a-lot of rattling when bass is played Are you referring to what is commonly called the speaker “surround” which mounts the cone to the frame?. If so, yes you can definitely replace those especially if the speaker is a common size. There is a guide on ifixit for repairing this speaker unit including replacing the whole speaker itself as well....

Chosen Solution I want to upgrade the ram from 32 GB to 64 GB. Is there a slot available for that? Hi, Looking at the specifications for the laptop (see p.10) to have 64GB of memory you need to use 2 x 32GB memory modules as there are only two slots. Here’s the service manual. Go to p.17 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the memory modules....

Chosen Solution My girlfriends macbook randomly shut down yesterday while listening to music. The next day after watching a movie, I close the lid to my macbook and go to sleep, the next day mine is not working either. Both laptops don’t turn on. I’ve watched every video and read every article. Tried everything. SMC reset, power button holding, disconnecting the battery, jump starting with and without the keyboard connected. Nothing works....

Chosen Solution Do you think that with some software or firmware updates, that the chip that supports AT&T 3g can be turned on in this phone? If so how and when? No, there is no chip that supports ATT 3G, it will only work on T-Mobile’s frequencies, however, it will work on ATT’s EDGE frequencies. As of a few weeks ago you can now buy a Nexus one that works on AT&T straight from Google....

Chosen Solution Hello Guys Macbook Pro Retina A1502 COMPLETELY DEAD No water damage, it simply didn’t turn on again. MagSafe is working normally. However I think I should go over the power rails to fix this BOARD, right? Is there anyone that can me give the next steps here? Find power aliass on your schematic, start testing power rails, I would start with pp3v3_g3h. You will want to use process of elimination, by that I mean find what power rails you have and what are missing, then work your way backwards to find the source of the issue....

Chosen Solution I believe this is the 110 series. It is the Kenmore Elite Oasis model. I purchased in 2010 but recently it has started displaying the code oL. Model # 11028032700 I just downloaded the manual and that says overload, which is what I thought it was. BUT, it does this on ALL loads regardless of size. It’s been doing this a few months and when I reposition, I set Drain and Spin and that works....

Chosen Solution Hello, all. This is my first time posting here, though I’ve frequented the site for random repairs to various apple products. I’ve got a bit of a sticky situation (pun totally intended)… My co-worker/friend purchased a MBA for his daughter a couple years back. It is the A1465 (not sure of further specs at this point). Long story short: she spilled some sort of liquid on it and it therefore no longer functioned....

Chosen Solution Does anyone know where one can buy a replacement rear glass panel for the pixel 3 xl? I also can’t find the rear glass. I called Google, and they mentioned there’s a shortage. There are some at UBREAKIFIX, but they won’t sell parts. I sure hope Google isn’t going down the path of Apple. https://www.witrigs.com/oem-battery-cove… Witrigs has it in stock as of today. Way over-priced, but the only place I’ve found it so far....

Chosen Solution After successfully replacing a friends Apple Watch screen, I noticed the 3D Touch sensor was broken, and the watch would not turn on past the Apple logo. I ordered a new 3D Touch sensor + adhesive from the site as well, and just installed that, thinking that was the issue. Now I have installed the sensor and the screen all back on (and battery), and the screen is still stuck in the Apple logo....

Chosen Solution Arte comes out from the base about 6", spins in circles, says base on the screen. No error code. It is not able to dock into the base, it just sits there until the battery dies. I have cleaned his eyes, checked his wheels, the dust bin is empty, I took out the brush and cleaned it, the side spinning brushes are clean and rotate. I am out of ideas....

Chosen Solution I have a Brother MFC-255CW printer that works fine. I keep it in my bedroom and occasionally it will initiate a print head cleaning in the middle of the night. Obviously that isn’t desirable. Is there any way to make it only do this during the daytime? Look through the settings. There should be a maintenance section and it should have a section about auto maintenance or auto cleaning....

Chosen Solution how can I set my battery life to a minimum of 40% before it shuts off? I only show it in minutes, not percentages. Hi @timcindyl , If you have Win 10 installed try changing the following power settings to make the laptop shutdown when the battery level is at 40% Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings (on your selected plan) > Change Advanced power settings > scroll down to Battery > click + symbol on Low Battery Action > On Battery > select Shutdown....
