Chosen Solution Hello everyone! I have an iPod Touch 4G which I still consider a great device in terms of usability. Recently I had to replace its Sleep button and that requires nearly full disassembly. Since putting it together everything is working great, but then I’ve noticed that my ATH Bluetooth headphones started to drop frames. It doesn’t show up indoors - I can go 10-15 meters away, with walls and obstacles, and it works without any problem....

Chosen Solution Referral for someone to replace the wifi chip ic. I replaced the wifi antenna and the wifi worked a few times. Now it doesn’t work at all. I also notice that I can not access my settings when the wifi doesn’t work. Can anyone refer me to someone who can replace it? As for repair, look locally for a reputable shop that does micro-soldering repairs. Ideally, you want to find someone local but good workmanship trumps locality....

Chosen Solution Can I use 6s home button on 6s plus The generic iPhone 6S Home Button works on both the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. However, you can only retain Touch ID function with the orignal Home button connected to it’s paired logic board.

Chosen Solution I have a mac that has a broken motherboard caused by the GPU. I had constant crashes and GPU panic and it suddently stopped turning on.

I broke the T8 screws and have some missing cover screws....

Chosen Solution I bought a used Xbox one s that came with 4 games. For whatever reason only one game is being read (nba 2k17) and shows up in the start screen and plays. However the other three games (LEGO worlds and 2 360 games) crank back and fourth in the system a few times then are never read.

Chosen Solution My Ue boom. works fine when connected to a phone, but when i connect it to my PC the audio coming out is absolutely terrible. Does anyone know a way to fix this? What solved this for me: Connect the speaker and choose the MEGA BOOM Stereo device. Often you will get no sound when you do this at first. Once selected turn the speaker off and back on again and when it auto reconnects it should connect the speaker device and work correctly....

Chosen Solution I spilled protein shake on my MBP keyboard 2 weeks ago(quantity: as much as a spoon can hold). Tried cleaning the liquid between the keys(spacebar) with a tissue. Macbook worked fine for a week and then shut down suddenly. Doesn’t boot up now, can anything be done now to dry/clean up the liquid?

Chosen Solution Went to start my mower today and when I pull the chord to start it, it just knocks and a puff of white smoke comes out. I also realized that there is oil, a good amount, dripping out of the exhuast. It’s been sitting right side up, never turned over, so I’m at loss for what to do. Any info anyone has would be great. I would say you flipped it and that’s why you’re getting that but it could be a gasket try checking the gas for oil...

Chosen Solution I own an iPhone 6 Plus. For some months I have been experiencing an intermittent screen malfunction. At first I thought it was a one time occurrence, but over the past weeks it’s started happening almost daily.

Occasionally, rather than black, the screen will be washed out and blurred....

Chosen Solution I have the Microsoft Surface 3 128GB, 4GB RAM, wifi + 4G LTE It seems the SSD got damaged, can this be replaced? Yes, the mSATA SSD can be replaced but it’s very easy to crack the glass on this model when opening it up making it not worth the risk in my opinion.

Chosen Solution Lately when I have my ear buds plugged into my phone it starts randomly doing different functions. If it turns a certain way it will randomly start playing Spotify despite the app not even being open. If I’m on YouTube it’ll randomly pause and play the video.

Chosen Solution after the wash cycle is about to end and starts drain and spin the clothes are still wet but if the setting is changed to drain and spin only it wrings out the garments very well why is this happening???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Chosen Solution This is a two-stage gas furnace I acquired three years ago, when I moved into the house. The furnace was new at the time. As I live in a city along the 53rd parallel latitude, the furnace is often in use especially during the colder months. The furnace would turn on or off by itself according to the temperature specified by the thermostat. It bears mention that the original thermostat was replaced for a digital one, about one and a half years ago....
