Chosen Solution One of the keys came off and I haven’t been able to make a replacement key stay put, so I’d like to replace the whole keyboard. I looked at the Lenovo site and they don’t give many details, but what they do show looks horribly complex. Has anyone created a guide or step-by-step explanation? Hi @fixer123, Here’s the hardware maintenance manual for the laptop, taken from this webpage Go to p....

Chosen Solution leaking at rear of transmission only when running. it is where the drive shaft enters the transmissuion. Don’t know if you’ve already figured this out, but… Mark how the driveshaft lines up with the yoke and drop the drive shaft by disconnecting the front U-joint, remove the yoke (it just slides off the end of the shaft). You want to make sure it goes back the same way or it can cause U-joint failure....

Chosen Solution The fan needed cleaning, and so I took it apart to clean it, and it really did need cleaning, but I eventually got it. The only problem is that now it won’t turn on at all. I must have put something back in wrong, but I don’t know what. The battery light won’t turn on, the laptop won’t turn on, and it won’t do anything at all. It’s not the biggest deal if it’s broken for good, but I do like it, and it’s my secondary computer....

Chosen Solution i dont have any soldering tools or heat gun to replace a wifi chip how can i do this with out these tools You cannot remove this chip without a hot air station. If the Wi-Fi IC is shorted which does occur on the 6s you can scrape the top layer and find the short. I usually try this method before removing the IC. Remember if you replace this chip you will need to un-bind the Mac Address from the NAND or you will have no Wi-Fi....

Chosen Solution In the middle of no where my Imac screen clicked off and then proceeded to reboot itself, only this time there was no image, and the fan in the back could not be heard. Only just the chime of it turning on. I’ve tried everything from back up booting, unplugging and waiting to start up again, etc etc. Nothing is working. Should I just take it to someone or what?...

Chosen Solution I have a Samsung gear s2. The accelerometer stopped working, then starting counting way too many steps, and now stopped working again. Consequently, the pedometer doesn’t work and the wake up gestures do not work. Any suggestions? I don’t think the watch is under warranty anymore. Hi, I have the same issue, and maybe a workaround for you. I already contacted Samsung Service as well but they mentioned it should be a single issue only....

Chosen Solution I don’t know how place thermal paste on fujitsu q738 Hi @wiwm , You shouldn’t have to refresh the thermal paste on your laptop yet. It’s only been out for a couple of years. If there is an overheating problem with the laptop, there should be a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on the laptop if you are located in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa. Check the warranty statement that came with the laptop to verify what it is for your location....

Chosen Solution Important data is in internal storage You’ll really struggle if it’s dead, dead. I’d take it to a phone shop and ask if they have a new battery they can temporarily fit to try and power it on to get your data off it. If it doesn’t boot your next step is a micro soldering specialist to see if they can find and repair the issue why it’s dead....

Chosen Solution My bootloader is locked and I am unable to unlock it using the official Xiaomi Unlock tool as the device needs developer options enabled however the phone is stuck with a fastboot screen. Is there any other way to unlock the device? I don’t think there is a way to unlock the phone in a bricket state. I would try to unbrick it first - for example by flashing the stock rom and recovery using xiaomiflash, and proceed from there

Chosen Solution The first time this happened there was a large amount of white smoke that came from below the front of the mower and some brief belt squealing. Checked the mower deck belt and it’s fine. Don’t know if this helps or not but the clutch pulley is very hard to turn by hand. I don’t remember it being that way before? Could this be a bad clutch? Here’s how to test the PTO Clutch https://www....

I looked here, and it looks like I’m on the right track: How to replace the Arrow keys (bottom)) All the parts remain: The black cover, The white mechanism and The white nipple I tried using my screwdriver to push on the metal circle underneath where the nipple would go to see if it was a problem with my keyboard....

Chosen Solution This battery is a Panasonic 25.2V 13.2Ah Li-ion battery for an electric bicycle. It is 7 or 8 years old. When new, a full charge was good for 70km and now just 20km. Buying a new battery from Panasonic costs 304 USD and sending it to a third party to have the Li-ion batteries inside costs 210 USD and 290USD. And they only guarantee 60 to 80% or the original charge in the cheaper option and 80% in the more expensive one....

Chosen Solution I have a Dell Inspiron 15-7537 with a touch screen. the entire screen shows tiny dots (for lack of technical term). Connecting an external display works and looks perfect so I know its not the video card. The dots show on boot up too. I can press to the left of the dell logo on the screen and it gets a little better. Im thinking maybe its a bad cable or loose cable at the inverter (given that the inverter is behind the dell logo)....

Chosen Solution The camera is shaky when ever i turn it on and it tries to focus or when its in a video. Is there a way or a piece that can fix that? Hi, Replacing the camera itself will more than likely resolve this issue. The part itself is relatively cheap, but the repair itself can be difficult for those inexperienced in Samsung repair. You have to heat up the back glass to remove it, and you’ll either end up cracking the glass, or taking some of the lamination off (colour etc) Then you have to remove the frame, and then take out the battery and motherboard, then you can unclip the camera and replace it, then reassemble....

Chosen Solution top right side of my iphone 6 plus is darker than everything else u can see through it but its really dark The most affordable and reliable Option would be to utilize Apple’s Out of Warranty Repair Service!
