Chosen Solution Are there 2 different battery connectors on replacement galaxy note 5 batteries? I’ve heard that the connector tab is slightly different on replacement batteries causing some incompatibilities between certain note 5 versions. How do I avoid this when I purchase a replacement battery kit? Thanks in advance Al To be safe. Match the battery model to the model number of the phone. Though I’ve never heard of this incompatibility problem on note 5s....

Chosen Solution Where can I get moto g play 2021 audio jack Does the Moto G-Play charge via USB-C or Micro USB? Some phones let you play music out of the charge port. If it charges via USB-C, then get a USB-C to 3.5 adapter. If micro, get a Micro USB to 3.5 adapter.

Chosen Solution My Samsung Galaxy S3 mini got water damaged 4 months ago, i put it on charge but the chargers plug burnt down while being inside the phone (it doesnt even work ever since) so I didnt use the phone since then. I thought i try to put it on charge again now that its surely dry but none of my chargers worked, it just wouldnt charge and i think its because when the charger plug burnt down, the phones charging port was also damaged....

Chosen Solution Just bought a Early 2015 MacBook Pro with a faulty battery, it only works with charger plugged in, but when looking at the cycle count it’s seems pretty low for a full replacement (258) Is there any way to reset the warning before I do the battery replacement which doesn’t look fun with the amount of glue they use on holding these in. Any help will be much appreciated I’ve tried a SMC reset but no luck...

Chosen Solution Hi All I am just looking for a bit of general advice from some experienced sellers. I have just started doing a bit of buying and selling of iPhones. Replacing cracked screens and selling as refurbished etc. What I am trying to find out is, when buying an old iphone with a cracked screen for example, would you also replace the battery as well as the screen to sell it as refurbished?...

Chosen Solution So the title basically says it all. I’m running a AMD Ryzen 3 1200 on a MSI Tomahawk board and for some reason the BIOS refuses to open unless the system boots cold, so either the first time of the day or waiting 30 minutes for it to cool down. And before someone asks no spamming ‘delete’ does not work, in fact it just locks up the computer at a black screen till you decide to forcibly power it down....

Chosen Solution Hi, The monitor was working perfectly last night. Today, the screen won’t light up even a little bit. The cables are ok, power and USB are delivering. Is it just dead, or is there any way to find a replacement part? If so, what part am I looking for? You’ll need to do the flashlight test! Take a flashlight and place it on the screen at about a 20 degree angle with the monitor turned on and plugged in....

Chosen Solution Okay so I know this sounds weird but I just replaced the screen & battery on my iPhone 7 Plus, every screw it’s in the right place as I made a diagram and placed every screw where it belongs now here lies the problem, the phone works perfectly when the screen is not placed in the frame but once I put in the screen where it belongs the phone goes in a boot loop unless I take the screen off the phone with the cables still connected....

Chosen Solution Need directions on how to remove grip shifter to replace brake handle on Magna Excitor21 speed. Most grip shifters have a tiny allen screw on the bottom of the shifters that lock them to the handlebars. Look under the shifter to find a tiny screw that’s sometimes hidden in an indentation. Loosen that allen screw, and you can slip the shifter off the end of your handlebars. Don’t fully remove the tiny screw since it can easily get lost - you just need to loosen it enough to slip the shifters off....

Chosen Solution The outer screen on our Samsung Gusto mobile phone is cracked. Can it be repaired/replaced? Not repaired but replaced.. restoring the unit. If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

Chosen Solution Can i read the memory without the screen attached to the phone? Yes, if you set what to do when phone is connected to PC. If you don’t set, you need screen to select an option (PC Suite, Mass Memory etc.).

Chosen Solution I have a early 2005 Power G5, model A 1047, emc 2061, 2.0 ghz dual, with pci. Can I install 2.7 ghz processors in this computer? Theoretically yes, as long as the 2.7GHz module also comes from an EMC2061.

Chosen Solution I want to upgrade my 6-Core Intel Core i5, to an 8-core intel core i7. Is this possible? Towards the end of this iFixit article they state that you “can replace or upgrade the socketed (LGA 1200) CPU.” In other words, I think you can!

Chosen Solution I replaced the fuel pump on a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo, V6 it started after I primed the fuel rail, the vehicle started up now it will turn over but won’t start, fuses check good, fuel pump comes on and vehicle has spark. Battery is new. What could cause it from cranking all the way over? been told the fuel pressure regulator could went out what do others think....

Danny Stogner it should be in the fuse box under the hood. Check the number 36 (15A) fuse. It protects the radio, cigarette lighter, and the Data Link Connector (DLC)

Chosen Solution Hi iFixit members, I have been given a Macbook Air 13" A1466 EMC2632 by a friend. Lucky me I hear you all saying LOL.. Well it’s not as simple as that. It has unfortuntely had a Tea spillage so I need to do some thorough testing and possible parts replacement…BUT I have done a full Board clean up, with IPA and light air blower, and physically cannot see any corrosion or nasty component damage....

Chosen Solution Which fuse is for the alternator? Hi Ray, put a voltmeter onto the battery while the car is running to make sure that the alternator is putting out enough current. @raysmazda like @blakeklein elude to, you do want to check that when the car is running, that there is any change in the battery voltage. If not and all the wiring is good,it is most likely that there is an issue with the PCM....

Chosen Solution My laptop got slid off the table by my rambunctious cat, fell a couple feet then was suspended in mid-air by the cable in the jack. But now, the jack is all messed up and a cable will no longer plug into it. I did some searching and reading, and it sounds like the only way to fix it is to fully replace the motherboard. Just hoping perhaps someone has better info....
