Chosen Solution My wife’s beloved 6s Plus shows the black cable-to-MacBook Air screen with the restore URL. I followed the power/home button instructions with no joy. Most online recommendations involve using iTunes, but of course, iTunes is gone. Clearly screen works, and logic board works enough to show Apple logo (but then goes back to restore). Is this something that can be fixed by some magic reboot process or do I need to replace components?...

Chosen Solution I performed this fix on a 85W Magsafe adapter and when I hooked it up to test it, the Power selection in System Information shows that the wattage for the AC charger is 45W, not 85W. I suspect the L-tip has something in it that tells the Macbook that it’s 45W. The wire gauge of the replacement cord is much smaller than the original 85W cord. Does anyone know where to get the heavier duty cords?...

Chosen Solution I got a new phone it didn’t come directly from Apple but it is brand new. I had problems with it the first night and found out it was a software bug but it got fixed. It’s been a few days later and now my phone won’t stay on unless it’s charging. It’ll completely shut off and when I try to reboot the logo will show and shut off again....

Chosen Solution I’ve done 2 battery replacements on this device. The problem still remains. When the device is powered on, it immediately powers off like the battery was unplugged. It does it at any percentage, and has done it while charging. I bought my second battery here. I knew the first one was bad because it would automatically turn off below 30%. With the new one, it turns off at any percentage....

After reading the possible causes on line I found three potential causes: faulty water control valve faulty ice making unit faulty cooling thermostat I already replaced the water filter and the water is running fine to the water dispenser.

Chosen Solution I am trying to listen to music on my Nokia Lumia 635 and there is no audio, and when you can hear something the audio is distorted. What can I do to fix this? Hi Ivy, Have you tried a ‘soft’ reset on your phone? If that doesn’t work try a ‘hard’ reset. Be aware that a hard reset will erase all your downloaded apps and user data and restore your phone to a factory default condition....

The printer cartridge is still half full and even though I changed it out it is still doing the same thing. I have even tried to do a new alignment. Any suggestions?

Chosen Solution I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4074. I am not sure if there is a CD inside or not, but the Optical Disk Drive will not open. How can I get it to open?

Chosen Solution hi Washer is full of water and top panel controls will turn on and off to add more water but washer won’t drain or spin. So there is power. And I checked to see if the exit tube was blocked but I was able to drain the washer tub simply by using gravity…thus draining the water into a bucket. So the tube is not blocked. Is it a control dial problem, a water level sensor issue, a pump problem or who knows what?...

Chosen Solution Hello I’m wondering if a SSD would speed up my system? And how fast would it speed it up? It currently is running Windows 7 but when I get the ssd I’d like to install windows 10. I recently upgraded the CPU from a Pentium to a i5 450m and the Ram to 8GB. After that upgrade it ran a little faster but not by much. I think it’s the software that’s making it slow and also windows is having a lot of problems to so I think it’s time to upgrade to Windows 10....

Chosen Solution I have disconnected the front proximity sensor on both the iphone 7 and iphone 8 models to stop the bootlooping issue, and have lost just the selfie camera capability, however, this time around, I have issues with the speaker as well. I can only hear on headphones or speakerphone….I changed the speaker, and still have the issue…any ideas? Hey, is the contact disconnected atm? If you disconnect it and that stops the bootloop then there is a fault in your front camera flex/als/proximity....

Chosen Solution MacBook suffered liquid damage, looked like it was just keyboard, so was sent away for repair under household insurance. When repair company came to send it back it was tested again and failed to boot up. They suggested the logic board needed replaced. I was able to then get a claim for a brand new MacBook from insurance, and I had a recent backup of my old one so everything is fine really, I just feel that the old one might be possible to resurrect yet....
