Chosen Solution After using my camera for a period of time, it says battery exhausted on the screen and then turns off. This error comes from either the camera getting to hot or the batteries being depleted. To relieve this issue let the device sit for a while. If the error persists after letting the device sit, replace the batteries. Update Checking the forums this seems to be a common error for this device but there is another reason this may happen....

Chosen Solution My PS3 slim randomly and very frequently shuts itself off. It won’t even show it is in standby.(History about the device is that it has had 2 nasty falls from the entertainment center due to accidents. There is no external damage visible.) At times we can get it to come on and stay on for a length of time that is random as well. Other times we can push the button 100 times and it will not come on and stay on....

Chosen Solution My 1986 Chevy S10 a/c blows through the bottom heater and top defrost vent, but not through dash vents. The actuator isn’t working. You should be able to manually move it, assuming you can see it from the passenger side, under the dash. The cause can be mechanical binding or something is jammed in there to prevent it from moving. The other possibility is that the selector control isn’t working....

Chosen Solution While I’m playing the game, I hit the bop it button when prompted, but the device doesn’t register the input. Any suggestions? Assuming that the batteries are working (it registers other inputs and makes noise), I would recommend following the troubleshooting guide for replacing the internal electronic button. Hit the text saying bop it.

Chosen Solution When i plugged in my ac adapter it turns on automatically, but with black screen it doesnt boot. The AC power adapter is continously blinking orange light. I’ve tried removing the cmos to reset the bios… But nothing works. It could be that the adapter may be going bad. If that’s the case, try a known good one and see if that works

Chosen Solution Printer continues to jam when trying to print. This occurs after clearing jammed paper. Paper does not advance after being pulled into printer. Does not feed under rollers before ink cartridges. A very common issue with all printers is the rubber pinch rollers loose their grip from the paper dust so I would start off by carefully cleaning the rollers with cotton swabs (Q-Tips) and isopropyl alcohol. You may want to use a small paint brush to scrub down the parts and a can of can’ed air to blow the dust away....

Chosen Solution My macbook pro retina early 2013 initially had screen flickering. And after sleep mode, it’ll sometimes show a white screen and hang there. Now it cant even turn on. Any idea what could possibly be the issue? Update (05/10/2020) I’ve just tried it and the external and it works. The issue usually happens when I leave the laptop in sleep mode for awhile, and try to log back in after that....

Chosen Solution I just got the guts to try and revive this phone it would always reboot and turn off when disconnected with the charger I’m going to try a new battery and screen I believe I had pry damage that was the reason why? But just seeing if anyone can confirm this and how can I fix it @djholley yes you do want to start with a new battery. Take a good look at the board once you have the phone apart to double check for pry-damage....

Chosen Solution When I engage my blades the center arbor makes a loud noise and will start to smoke? I greased it but the problem hasn’t stopped. @stokes81 sounds like a bad bearing. If it is bad, grease alone is not going to fix it. #9 and #13 in the attached image are my prime suspects. That is Sears part number Part #: 7013313SM and for #13 Part #: 1705897SM respectively

Chosen Solution Hi, my battery last nght drained from 72% to 23% without me using it! When i checked battery settings to see why, it said that Android System used 7hours for ‘stay awake’. I have checked and stay awake is disabled on my phone so not sure what is happening, any ideas? probably background apps or things like data or Bluetooth. Go into device manager and clear all unused background apps and turn off Bluetooth !...

Chosen Solution I have recently purchased this Samsung laptop and been having heating problems. When I am in certain areas such as my bed, sofa, etc, my laptop begins to overheat. How might I solve this problem? You may be using your computer on a surface that generates heat; try elevating your device or using a laptop mat. Also, use the computer on surfaces that would not cause overheating such as a tabletop or desk....

Chosen Solution I have a Maytag drying center with an upper and lower drying chambers. The light in the lower portion is not coming on and I’m not getting heat above or below. I took the light bulb out and it doesn’t look like the element is broken. Does this model have fuses or do I possibly have a bad bulb and heating element? @macsbabygirl71 double check the power going to your dryer....

Chosen Solution I bought my device a month ago and it was working fine. However, recently I noticed that the screen has become a lot dimmer than it was before. I have no idea how to adjust the settings.

Chosen Solution Every time I turn my drone on one of the propelers won’t work Do you still have it? There is a screw that goes through the propeller and the shaft, on the bottom gear you have the same set up. the screws will shear in the shaft preventing a simple replacement. You may have to drill out to free the broken screw inside the shaft, through the top worked for me

Chosen Solution Every sound I play through my tablet the sound comes out distorted and I don’t know what is happening. If your volume is not set too high you may need to replace the speakers this can be done by following one of the many guides in the repair section of the device. You will mostly need to follow the back cover removal.

Chosen Solution My mileage screen light goes on and off As Ruslan said, it’s a common problem with the Gen 2 Prius, enough to where Toyota extended the warranty on the part to 10 years from service start. If your combination meter (that’s what it’s called) goes faulty within 10 years of the car first being in service (you can check that date on Toyota tech info site by putting in your VIN), they should replace it for free....

Chosen Solution why When adjusting the screen according to the comfortable position, it becomes either black, the image disappears, or annoying lines appear on the screen while it is on ? Hi, I could be either a loose video cable connection at either end, motherboard or LCD panel, a damaged video cable where it passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the LCD panel or worst case a faulty LCD panel....
