Chosen Solution it seems apple has locked my macbook pro from upgrading to el capitan or anything higher than 10.6. it was el capitan but rebuild to higher version. after a rebuild.. dont get me started on sparsebundle crap This is in fact a common issue back in the day! You likely have the older HFS file system and the OS installer you are using doesn’t have the ability to upgrade the file system to HFS+ As you likely had OS9 on your system and never updated the file system....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have no idea what happened with my iPad. I didn’t drop or damage it. It could not be water damage as well as I keep it on my night stand all the time. One day I saw pink stripes on the screen. Touch screen works just fine. Do you have any idea what can be wrong?https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxbACzR… It might not of been dropped but still try this as the LCD cable might be slightly moved, 1....

Chosen Solution i can’t power up after battery was charged. On most toughbooks please follow these instructions in order: Step 1: Please Un-Plug AC Adapter (External Power Supply). Step 2: Please Remove Internal Toughbook Battery Pack (In some cases, you must release the latch located on the underside of the Toughbook). Step 3: Do not put back the internal battery but plug back in the AC Adapter. Step 4: Turn on the power (ie....

Chosen Solution After changing my screen the fingerprint sensor is only working very sporadically. I even tried entering new fingerprints and it kept giving me an error message saying that the sensor was dirty, so I cleaned it off with an alcohol wipe and it still didn’t work. Could it be that I just got a faulty screen/sensor? Try resetting the cache, https://youtu.be/2ZocEVeeAN0 If that doesn’t help. Open it up and check the ribbon and connector for damage, also check the connector on the board....

Chosen Solution I have sometimes, the problem that some doors dont open. The Central locking system doesn’t open the door, but all others do. Usually it is the driver’s door that doesn’t open.The door can be opened manually with the key. Do I have a problem with a broken cable or I have a problem with the Central locking control unit? I’ve had the same era of golf as this and the Passat and they both started doing the same thing after about 100K miles, the only thing the doors should do is pressing the unlock button once on the key fob should open the drivers door and twice in quick succession should open all doors (if programmed for this otherwise just once should open all)....

Chosen Solution Hello, I recently took my PS3 to a CPR repair shop in my area. They were the only ones that could work on my PS3 at all. I’ve dealt with them before on other devices and that location in particular, does good work. Well, after a day or so, it was determined that they couldn’t fix it. They blew the dust out, checked the bearings in the fan, put thermal paste on the areas that wore out from age and the thermal paste wears away, everything in the rule book that would possibly cause overheating....

Chosen Solution It was weeks ago and my right trigger was stuck so I pushed down hard and it returned to normal. But I noticed that it wasn’t responding to my console and I could hear something broken in the controller. So I opened the sides and shaked it again and a black spring look alike fell out. This however wasn’t able to fix the controller. Please help. I would use the Xbox One Wireless Controller Bottom Motherboard Replacement guide, and go in sequential order until you can see another spring on the left trigger or you can see a place that’s obviously missing a part....

Chosen Solution My touch screen is totally unresponsive. I had a Edge iPhone, and I cracked the glass, and everything still worked, but on my 3GS I can not do anything. Please give me an idea. I put a new glass panel on and some how I mess it all up. I need some help. i would disassemble it again and check/reseat all connectors - maybe tha cable doesn’t fit right

Chosen Solution While on facebook my touch screen just stopped working… The screen comes on and stuff like normal… But it just isnt responsive at all.. I tried almost everything.. Tried reseting it i tried booting it into safe mode… But still nothing Any other tips before i perform a factory reset.. Which i really do not want to do When the screen touches itself its called ghost touch. This happened when there is physical damage to the screen which calls for a replacement....

Chosen Solution I have the same problem with a Philips TV, less than 12 months old. It has no on/off switch, only a remote When I switch it on from standby, the Philips icon comes on at normal brightness, then the screen goes black. That suggests to me that a setting is responsible. The Settings menu is not visible, and I can’t see an obvious brightness control. The flashlight test, with new batteries, is negative....

Chosen Solution If anyone has an iPad 6 (with cellular!, there was no cellular select option in the ifixit dropdown) and is able to measure a tiny resistor near the 610A3B tristar chip, as pictured, that would be great. It came off the board during a tristar replacement and no schematics are available. iPad air 2 schematics suggest it may also be 10K but I’m not 100% sure. This would help immensely!...

Chosen Solution I have a question, I have a Mac Book Pro 15” early 2011 model A1286. This is perhaps the 2nd time I have purchased a new battery. 1st one I bought was from NewEgg, it booted up normal but when you get to approximately 50% it shuts off, when turned back on with magsafe it shows 7% charging. I tried SMC reset and PRAM and it still does it, state of the battery is Normal via Coconut battery as well as it shows 100% capacity 1 cycle....

Chosen Solution Customer came in with the problem that her phone didn’t turn on. I used a PSU and it jumped straight to 250ma after booting and stayed there. No logo or anything. Checked the battery connector voltage and it was only 0.5V. I changed the Tristar and Charging IC and the phone booted normally and didn’t show any sign of power leakage. When I put the phone back together I saw that it was on searching instead of no SIM....

Chosen Solution On my play station 4 slim does not show picture or I don’t hear the sound. I tired the 7 second thing and still nothing. Please help! Thank you Hey Aaron, if your fans are spinning and everything seems functioning, try switching the cables or using a different display. If neither of those work, take a look and make sure the HDMI cable isn’t directional. If it is directional, make sure the source and output are properly connected....

Chosen Solution National Grid fried my Mac Pro (2007) a few years ago. I replaced it with a Mac Pro 2008 and later added a Mac Pro 2010. The original Mac Pro at the time would boot, but kept shutting down randomly. I couldn’t get it to stop it , despite experience at fixing and writing about Macs. Once I replaced it, I just stored it for several years. When I got it out of storage recently, I decided again to try to fix it....

Chosen Solution Power flickered and reset all TVs, clocks, satelite receivers, etc. Now I have no sound on my TV. Tried all of the suggestions. Reset TV several times. No sound on my sound bar or the tv. I imagine I had a power surge as we heard a small spark when power came on. Is there a sound card or do I need to replace the circuit board? How difficult is it?...

Chosen Solution I followed the full instructions from iFixit to remove most of the guts of my laptop in order to do a battery replacement, as described here: MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2015 Battery Replacement Upon completion of the job, everything works except there is no sound whatsoever from the speakers. I get sound from the headphones just fine if I plug them in. If I unplug the headphones, the system preferences correctly sees that it should be feeding sound to the internal speakers (so it is not just stuck thinking it has headphones)....

Chosen Solution I reflowed my xbox 360 to fix the e74 red ring of death. Following the reflow i attempted to power on the console and it refused. I checked the usb ports too. With the reflow of the chips (I assume) you might’ve damaged a chip or not reflowed something correctly. I recommend that you go back and check that you reflowed the solder correctly on say the power chip....
