iPod Touch 5th Generation: Home button is stuck and iPod won't turn on

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 07:55:49 -0700

The home button to my 5th gen ipod broke about two months ago, and just today the screen went black and wouldn't come back on. I know it was charged, and even if it wasn't, if I plugged it into the power adapter it would have come on, but it didn't. I read that pressing the home button and the power button at the same time usually fixes this probably, but my home button is broken so I cannot do that. is there anything else I can do?

Motorola Droid RAZR: My Phone Keeps turning off and then turning itself back on?

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:52:23 -0700

When I turn on my Droid RAZR and it does its power up, I wait for my service to come on. Before the service gets turned on, the phone restarts itself every time. It continues to do this over and over and over until it runs out of battery. I've tried hooking it up to chargers and hooking it up to a computer. It continues to do the same thing. I tried to restart the phone manually, but this still hasn't fixed the problem. Do I need to buy a new phone?

Samsung Galaxy S III: Galaxy s3 usb port not working?

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 07:17:14 -0700

My Galaxy S3 port is damaged I guess, because it does not charge even if I turn off the phone. It is not detected by my laptop. I tried a different charger and cables, but it still is not working. Will updating the software solve my problem?

Or do I have to change the port? if I have to change the port, can anyone guide me?

I have an Epson Artisan 837 all in one. It was working perfectly fine yesterday. Today it is telling me I have a paper jam. I went through the steps it told me to take 3 times. There is no paper jammed anywhere! Each time I finish the steps and turn it back on, it makes a grinding sound, then I get the same paper jam error message. I need some helpful advice if anyone has seen this before, please tell me what I should do.

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 front glass panel separating/lifting away from body?

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 01:32:29 -0700

Very oddly, on my iPhone 5, I noticed the entire front panel/glass/LCD/digitizer assembly is separating or detaching from the body at the top right corner.

It appears to be otherwise intact. It is still functional.

I have never dropped the device on anything other than carpet from farther than a few feet.

There is approximately a 1-2mm visible gap between the bottom of the glass panel and the top of the metal surrounding strip.

Pushing the panel back into the body causes the panel to flex a little, but it does not stay in place.

Any ideas about what happened and how it might be possible to fix it?

Thanks for your comment!

I keep it in a Mophie case, in a front pant pocket or a suit breast pocket. Between the rigid case and where I keep it, I don't think the case is bent as the rear panel is quite flat still.

What I meant by "flex" is that I can push the corner down so it is true to the back panel, but it doesn't stay in place.

Here's a photo:

iPhone 6: Touch ID not working after screen replacement?

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 02:32:32 -0700

I have made a screen replacement on my iPhone 6. Now the touch ID does not work any more. I have read that if the home button flex cable is damaged, this can occur. Is that really so? The button itself is working just fine.

I know for a fact that the home button can not be replaced because then touch id will not work, plus you can never upgrade the phone again without getting a error 53. Can you confirm this?

So my last question. Can I replace the home button flex cable or is that also coded to the chip or home button touch id?
