Chosen Solution I have a Hisense HR6FDFF630S fridge/freezer. 6 years old. Fridge suddenly stopped working, however freezer works fine. Have checked: Coils not frozen over. Baffle closed and fan not running. When I open the baffle while fridge is off, then connect fridge, the baffle closes. I’m guessing its the thermostat or temperature control board.

Chosen Solution Hi, I purchased an iPhone 6 off of eBay for 30 bux hoping to be able to refurbish it (it said that it wouldn’t turn on, but it ended up being a dead backlight that I easily fixed). It had a passcode so I had to hook it up to iTunes and restore it. Now it is factory reset, and while it works I can’t set it up because it gives me the message “SIM required; please insert a sim card....

Chosen Solution I replaced a lightning connector on an Iphone 5s, when I connect the charger I get an image of a black battery with a thin red line on the left centered on the screen and at the bottom of the screen an image of the lightning connector and a bolt. This was the first connector I replaced but I’ve worked on several phones for other issues with no problems so I’m 95% sure it wasn’t the install....

Chosen Solution The charge port in my academy is still working, it’s just become so loose the cable won’t remain seated even when the tablet it remaining still. I’m struggling to find anything to lead me on a repair path. Hi CJ, I wasn’t able to find any information about disassembling or repairing the LeapPad Academy either, but maybe we can still help. Since we don’t know exactly how to open up the back of your LeapPad, how about if you post a picture or two of the bottom side and we’ll see if we can figure it out based on how the other LeapPads that do have guides come apart....

Chosen Solution A small table was placed heavily on the screen and now there is a small mark on the screen that is light in the middle and dark in the surroundings. When I type in a number, I can faintly see through this mark, but it gets a bit frustrating, and I begin Calculus next semester. I cannot afford a new calculator and this one is functioning very well. This screen problem is a nuisance!...

Chosen Solution How do I prime the engine on a 2004 pontiac grand am se sedan You don’t need to prime the engine. If you turn the key to on position it turns on the fuel pump and primes the lines. You need to borrow/rent a fuel pressure gauge from a auto parts store like autozone, o’Reilly, etc. It should have a fuel pressure test port on the fuel line. If you turn the key on it will send power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds....

Chosen Solution I got them this last Christmas and I broke them around 2 months ago when my mom told me my dad had a cancerous brain tumor. I dropped them on the hospital ground when she told me and the swivel part broke. The chord is still attatched and they still work but the one side hangs by the chord inside the headphones. All that pressure on such a tiny plastic part - for shame, Sony, for shame....

Chosen Solution This guide is great - thank you! But I’m trying to figure out where the radio “bits” are? My light still works great but the radio will randomly turn on after every couple hours, gets old real quick when you’re trying to sleep.
