Chosen Solution Hello, I have gone through all the troubleshooting steps I could find (changing modes, removing battery, powering on and off, etc.), but my camera still won’t take a photo when the shutter button is pushed. What do I do? Could be oxidation on the button.Getting some electronic cleaning spray and spraying it so that it seeps into the button then press the button it several times.Electronic cleaning spray is always a good first step since it doesn’t require any disassembly, just try to keep the spray away from any screens since it could leave stains between layers if it penetrates into it....

Chosen Solution When I pull the trigger the dart only fires a few feet. How old is the gun? Is it used a lot? If you’re good at disassembling stuff and putting it back together then you may be able to fix it. If not then I would suggest buying a few one as thier not expensive. There are a few reasons why the darts may not be foreign far. The spring may be worn down....

Chosen Solution So I just put new batteries in my game boy color but it won’t turn on. the power light flashes on for a second then turns off immediately Most of the times the battery pins are dirty or there is corrosion on it. Did you checked your battery pins? Otherwise clean it (with isopropyl alcohol) and then dry it, leave it be for a while and try again with new batteries....

Chosen Solution It worked fine one day. I went to charge it. It stopped taking a charge. I tried many cords to attempt to get it to work. Hi, I had the same issue. I’ve plugged the charger and connected to the pc. I’ve let it like that while I was working. Normally, it should turn on after 1 working day (8 hours) or 2 working days . Regards,

Chosen Solution My phone will not turn on, earlier a yellow light was flashing but now nothing is happening. Here lately it been popping up messages saying things were not working. Like I this one said system processer (I think that what it was called I could be wrong) and something else about my screen. Well, on most devices, no power is a battery or charging port problem. Although I have seen a few cases where a damaged lcd would somehow prevent the phone from actually turning on with Samsung devices....

Chosen Solution Where is the ground wire on a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado There are literally thousands of ground wires in a vehicle. Let’s start with the one you need. Are you looking for the wire from the battery to the frame? Any metal contact directly on the body or frame can be used as a ground as long as the frame and body are connected to the battery.

Chosen Solution TX will not turn on. Suspect battery. Where can I purchase new one? Cost? So the first thing we need to figure out is if it’s actually the battery. To do that, we are going to plug it in and try to turn it on. Does it display anything or try to turn on? Does it tell you to insert a battery before powering on, even though you have it installed?...

Chosen Solution The RB/LB bumper buttons for the afterglow controller are a different style than the official xbox 360 controller replacement buttons that I’ve found. Are these sold anywhere? Digikey should have them. You will have to hunt in tactile switches though. If you can post a picture of the switch with a rough measurement I can hunt for you.

Chosen Solution So my MacBook Pro 15" Retina A1398 (Mid 2015) A1398 needs a battery replacement. I am so confused and can’t decide which one to get, since I haven’t found any with great reviews, some people are complaining about the Ifixit ones (which was my initial choice) same for those on amazon, the one that has somewhat decent reviews claims to have up to 500 charging cycles (which is so low comparing to the original one up to 1000) then there is the Duracell, Newertech and Greencell which one ?...

Chosen Solution My machine cannot get high-speed internet, likely because of the wifi card it came with: Qualcomm QCA9565 802.11b/g/n, it only supports 2.4Ghz. I’d like to upgrade to a 802.11ac but I want to make sure I buy the right card. Any recommendations? Everything I see online says I have 2 antennas. Hi @ooooooookate , Here’s a link that may be of some help. Although the information regarding divers being available from Dell is not correct anymore....

Chosen Solution Dear Sir, My washer is not the one posted for this question (it wasn’t listed). Mine is a Whirlpool top loader #WTW57ESVW1. I want to find out what causes the wrong behavior, or how to troubleshoot it if nobody knows what’s wrong with it. This is what it does: During the agitation cycle, if you lift the lid to look at the agitator, and then close the lid, the washer starts the fill cycle or rinse cycle so that it over-fills the tub, then continues to agitate....

Chosen Solution Hello, I just finished replacing my battery and wifi card. Some time ago, I had replaced the screen assembly. Since then, the computer had been sitting unused in a drawer. My brightness will not adjust. It is also somewhat dim. The buttons work, but when I adjust the brightness it stays exactly the same from one bar all the way to the max, although the screen will turn off if I take it down to zero bars....

Chosen Solution My TI-84 Plus CE cover won’t come off. I don’t know if there is a way or I’m just dumb. Please respond New slide cases can have a tight fit. It’ll come off, you may just have to try a few different methods of removing it.

Chosen Solution This happens when using all kind of input (cable jack, bluetooth or network). Stereo sound is bad. One side (left/right) is less audible than the other. It looks like it’s almost muted but I can definitely hear it when muting one side of the stereo sound. I think this might be related to one of the speaker inside but I won’t be against some help. ;-) Has anybody fixed such kind of issue?...

Chosen Solution I got these headphones and they worked great except for one thing. About every 30 minutes the sound cut out and was replaced with deafening feedback noises. I can fix it by unplugging and plugging back in but it keeps happening. Please help. It’s a known ‘feature’ for this model, and there doesn’t appear to be any proper fix. Someone at Sennheiser decided to put in power-saving features. If the signal is below a certain level for a certain amount of time, the transmitter switches off....

Chosen Solution After installing my new ifixit battery, the laptop keeps randomly shutting down. I have read that this is a known issue with some of your batteries for this model. Some tips! If the machine is able to stay on long enough for you to do so, check the Console logs to see if there are any meaningful crash reports that can help you isolate the issue. Also, download coconutBattery to check the health of the battery....

Chosen Solution Hello dear iFixit helpers. A few weeks ago, I have started to recognize a problem with my back facing camera. No matter if I am using a 3rd party App like Snapchat or Android’s camera, if my main camera is in use, there is a noticeable sound coming from the camera and also the picture is very blurry. It seems to have to do with the hardware, since the sound does emit from the camera and not the speaker....

Chosen Solution Why do I keep losing the bluetooth connection to the August Smart Lock? My husband has the same phone and it works fine. Losing connection - it doesn’t show up in your Bluetooth devices list? Or it doesn’t unlock? I have found that if my phone is in low-power mode or my WiFi is turned off, then my lock doesn’t work. Hope that helps

Chosen Solution Every time the battery is refilled, it drains very quickly. Something seems to be drawing a very unnecessary amount of power. I just can’t figure out what or why. take amp meter and check if there parasitic drain…. if there not any parasitic drain there is just 2 options battery died and/or charging system do not charge it properly…

Chosen Solution Watch will not start nor turn off after updating. Only keeps flashing logo You can try resetting the device putting it in recovery mode, hold down the home/power button on the side until you reach the “rebooting” screen, then let go and press the home/power button again when on the “rebooting” screen. After this, you’ll get to a page that has red text you should be able to use the home/power button to scroll down to “recovery mode” and when you’re there hold down the home/power button....
