Panasonic Viera: The television will not turn on, power light blinks 10 times (red)

Sat, 02 Aug 2025 18:56:57 -0700

From my preliminary research, I think it has to do with a fuse and the internal power supply. Anyone have any instructions on how to replace it or what parts I need to buy?

I also found this guide:

Is it worth pursuing individually, or should I just take it to a repair shop?

Blu Advance 5.0: Updated phone and now I can't unlock it

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 17:25:26 -0700

I recently had an update on my phone, and it restarted after I allowed it to install. After finishing it asked me for my password to allow it to continue it's on process. But it doesn't take my password that I'm a hundred percent sure is correct.

PlayStation 3: Why won't my PS3 read discs?

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 08:52:56 -0700

I got my PS3 in February of 2008. About four or five months ago it stopped reading discs. Neither Blu-Ray nor DVD are recognized—the drive never spins up. Everything else seems to work fine.

Logitech UE MegaBoom: UE Megaboom will not charge (light still flashing)

Wed, 06 May 2026 06:31:06 -0700

I haven't used the Megaboom for 6 months, took it out of storage and used it for the last couple of days while I was working outside (still had battery that lasted two days). Once it went flat, I plugged it in to charge overnight, the white light was flashing as normal. In the morning, I tried to turn it on and it said "Critical battery, please charge". While charging, if I try to turn it on, it just says "Charging, please wait". It still won't work no matter how long I leave it charging, though the white light is still flashing as normal. Is the battery toast? I did use it outside on a day with a lot of fog

Motorola Droid 1: How can I repair the headphone jack?

Sat, 12 May 2018 22:14:28 -0700

Recently I have been getting an extraneous crackling noise from a loose 1/8" connection in my phone. At times sound will completely cut out and the music app will become paused as if I had removed the headphone's all together. As it happens with every cable and set of headphones I use it is definitely an issue with the headphone jack. How can I go about dismantling the phone in order to repair the loose connection?

Display: My computer screen is just turning white on startup?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:13:50 -0700

So I am currently having a problem with a computer screen I have. Whenever I turn the computer on and then turn on my screen, the screen just turns white and like blank. I don't know what to do, so I just try to turn off the screen and then turn it on a few minutes later. But that never works! I can't even use the screen. It's always white, no matter what. Does it have to do with the graphics card or something? Can anyone please help me with my problem? Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar Late 2016: Horizontal lines on top and bottom screen

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:48:11 -0700

Hi i have huge horizontal semi transparent lines on top and bottom of my 2016 touchbar retina macbook pro 13inch.

Other symptoms includes No audio devices found(cant play sound)

Is there any possible reasons for this? I highly doubt is a software problem.

hey guys an update on my issue, i never went for a fix, the problem went away after i left it to rest for a few days, i believe its an overheat issue. my screen has been working fine for the past few months since reporting this. Not sure it will come back, but this is definitely a faulty hardware, and Apple is not admitting it!

Affected model: 2016 Macbook Pro touch bar

I never went for a fix till now and using the same mac, the problem still comes and go, usually happen when overheating/heavy usage. I brought my macbook for de-dusting the fans and apply new heat paste for my processor in hope that it can reduce overheating issues, replacing the whole display costs too much.

Apple did an update for this issue for the FlexGate issue: 13-inch MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program. Sadly it doesn’t cover the T-CON issues.

iPhone 5: Phone wont turn on, power button broke

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:58:02 -0700

Basically, I locked my phone using Assistive Touch. When I pressed my home button to check the lock screen my phone had completely turned off. I had a full battery and couldn't quite understand why this happened. I had done a little research, and people just keep saying to press and hold the home and power button to reset. Well, this has worked in the past, but now my power button doesn't work. This is no longer a solution. My phone just won't turn on without my power button to reset it.

I have also read that you gave advice to someone of the same issue saying to just plug it in. Well, I have plugged it in to the computer and to the wall for over 1 hour, and nothing has happened.

Software: I have no sound in Chrome.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:50:43 -0700

The sound on my computer works. The sound on other browsers work as well. The only place the sound does not work is Chrome. This has happened once before but I was able to resolve it. This time, nothing seems to be working.

List of things I have already tried (in no particular order):

Restarting Chrome
Restarting computer
Resetting Chrome settings
Clearing cache and cookies
Re-installing Chrome
Going incognito
Disabling/removing extentions
Using the software removal tool
Troubleshooting
Using guest profile

The only thing that has been suggested to me that I have not yet tried is using Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary. I will eventually try them if nothing better can be suggested to me. I would prefer them to be a last resort though, as I do not want to risk any bugs.

As for which version of Windows and Chrome I have, it's Windows 10 and Chrome 60.0.3112.101
