Chosen Solution My screen isn’t sensitive enough and it keeps touch ghosting or ghost touching how ever you say that. Hi, Do you use a screen protector at all? If you do, try it without one and see if it is any better.

Chosen Solution I’m very curious why this generation doesn’t have a guide/replacement product. Does the 7th gen satisfy this one? It seems that the 7th gen guide does have a similar repair method. That’s at least what I see comparing this video guide and the 7th gen guides. Although I do encourage that if you feel that this guide does have a significantly different repair process, then definitely create a guide documenting your process....
Chosen Solution Why won’t my tablet turn on even when it’s plugged in. Can you please help? First, ensure your charging cable and outlet are functioning properly. If one of these are not functioning, your tablet may just be dead and not able to charge due to a broken charging cable or outlet. If this does not restore power to your tablet, the battery is more than likely damaged and will need to be replaced in order to restore the tablet’s functionality....
Chosen Solution Apple uses a PCIe x2 SSD using NVMe. The Samsung 850 EVO is a M.2 SATA SSD drive and will not work in a Mac NVMe based system. You would need a Samsung 960 EVO which offers the needed NVMe interface. But, we still have a problem! As Apple’s NVMe OS driver only supports their SSD. Now the rub! In the Beta copy of MacOS High Sierra people have reported the new NVMe driver now allows 3rd party NVMe drives to work!...
Chosen Solution I have a Dell XPS laptop with a thunderbolt port. Will a USB C to headphone adapter work with it output audio through it? I don’t see why not. It’s USB c to USB c ‘what else would you put into it? Yes, but most will not work. Most of the adapters are designed for phones with the “audio alternate” protocol. Only certain phones have this. For laptops you need to make sure the adapter has its own DAC and processing circuity built into it....

Every time. This is very annoying, please can someone helps. thanks, Dan Hi, Have you also noticed that the date and time are missing from your pictures? If you have set the ‘write date’ option to OFF then possibly not....
Chosen Solution Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help. I have a Roberts RD60 DAB radio and it’s started to get distorted sound, it sounds like when you get a bad signal on a radio station. I thought there was a problem with the speaker because it doesn’t matter what station I’m on but it’s the same sound when I plug earphones in. Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be and whether it’s an easy fix?...
Chosen Solution Keyboard hasn’t worked since water spill, power button worked intermittently, now doesn’t. Logic board appeared to be working fine: unit turned on and functioned properly, aside from keyboard entry. I can function with an external keyboard if I can get the machine to turn back on or fix the power button. There’s this thing called corrosion. It doesn’t always happen fast, but it happens after moisture is introduced to metals or electronics....

Chosen Solution TaoTao Thunder 50cc runs fine until it hits 30 mph then it feels likes sumthin is pulling it back from goin faster!!! Anyone got any help?? Thanks dadandnmd, you posted your question as an answer to a FA-50 question. I changed it since it obviously is not an answer. Anyhow, the FA50 has a high speed of 27-30mph. So your 30mph is correct. There is nothing holding it back other than the stock performance of the engine....
Chosen Solution My MBP screen won’t remain closed — it “pops” up after closing it. This began right after I took it to the Apple Store to replace some missing screws on the bottom cover. I’m not seeking to assign blame here, just get my screen to remain closed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I hope you are a good Sherlock! Find a good flat surface as you need it to reference (a single slab of stone or glass top table)....
Chosen Solution I already asked this question but i want better answers but anyway I have an iPhone 6 i had a screen replacement done about two weeks ago because my screen was cracked and it had colored vertical lines on the side and black dots. After the screen replacement my screen is black i tried holding down the sleep/wake button and the home button but nothing work. i opened the phone to make sure the cables wasn’t loose....
Chosen Solution I dropped my tablet on the parking lot from about waist high. It had a pretty good case on it. At first wouldn’t turn on but after holding both the home button and power button it came on. The only problem is the screen is dark and you can barely see the apps on it. The brightness button is all the way up. Any suggestions? Chances are you damaged the LCD, which contains the backlight....
Chosen Solution New pulley but it still bouncing around then it sounds like something is vibrating loose or tearing up. So I raise deck and stop blades. But I tightened up everything I could and put new belt on it too cause I thought belt was just too loose. Just can’t figure out why or if a certain amount of bounce is normal? @mz_n_dependent1, Cindy , A little bounce in belt could be normal, but when you say “it sounds like something is vibrating loose or tearing up”, this is neither normal or good!...
Chosen Solution I replaced the lcd screen and it is not working. The first screen I got was defective and the second screen is not working either. How do I confirm it’s the screen and not something else. Hi, The LDI (liquid damage indicator) being red changes things. This indicates water has entered and some damage may have occurred. The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone’s operating design and could damage the components....
Chosen Solution The video associated with this repair guide says that I will only need the front panel assembly to complete the repair. The repair guide itself says that I will need the front panel assembly as well as adhesive strips and digitizer magnets. Which should I follow? Most digitizers come with adhesive pre-installed. Personally, I think they are not good enough quality and they should be replaced with something better (Look at TapeTemplates or BlowerTech adhesives)....
