Hello! :D Background / Information: My laptop sometimes gets really hot, the CPU goes up to over 90 degrees Celsius (not...

I would recommend you to try cleaning the port, often it’s way more dust etc. in there than you think can fit. To do this, I would recommend using a needle or something similar and really carefully scrape it against the sides of the port to try and remove any possible dust. This should hopefully remove most of the dust that has got stuck in there, if this helped the problem was that the connection between the two connectors got bad due to all the dust. Good luck and hope this helped! :D

Yes, it is possible to replace the CMOS battery in the PS 3 Super Slim. Sadly, you will almost need to do a full disassembly of the device to get to it, so if you aren’t too confident with doing this or don’t have a T8 Torx Security Bit you should think twice before getting into it and make sure to have a T8 bit or screwdriver. This video shows the disassembly process for the device, so if you want to try it out you may find it useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI5HcIE2... Good luck and hope this helped! :D

It sounds weird that it says that the battery is so old. I would recommend you to contact the iFixit support about that and they will help you, here is a link to the support contact information. iFixit Support

If I understand you correctly, the screen is frozen and nothing, not even the mouse is moving as if a picture would be on the screen. This is usually caused by the computer getting overloaded (is trying to process more than it’s capable of) and it will stop working. Most of the time it solves itself just by waiting for a few seconds and then you should probably close a program so it won’t happen again. If it doesn’t solve itself, try closing the open program by holding down the alt button on the keyboard and then pressing F4, this should close the program that is active and hopefully will fix the problem. Last thing if the screen still is frozen, hold down the power button until the computer turns off and then start it again. This will most likely fix the problem, if it doesn’t please post some more information.

It’s really hard to say what part most likely have been water damaged, it may be almost everywhere in the device or just a connector. Buying water damages devices is a gamble, you may get an easy one that needs a little bit of cleaning on one or a few places. Or it may be water damage almost everywhere and a lot of things that need a replacement. What part that is most likely the place where it’s water damaged is difficult to say since it’s not really made to stop water from coming into the device, so it may have got to a lot of different places depending on how much water it was. ——— Hope this helped, even though I didn’t really give you a clear answer. :D

Since your device is pretty old, I think it will be hard to find a replacement part. ——— I would recommend you to look for a makers-space in your area and ask if they have a 3D-printer (a machine that extrudes plastic to build custom parts). These places are usually happy to help others out, so you can ask if they can make a design/3D-scan of the broken part and print you a new one. I don’t know how it works now during Corona, if you can’t find one that is open you may be able to find someone else that can design it for you and then order it from a 3D-printing service online instead. Hope this helped and good luck whit your repair! :D

My guess of the most likely cause of this: To begin whit, try to get the room as dark as possible and then point a strong flashlight at it. If you can see some of the pictures when doing this, it’s most likely that the backlight is broken. What you should do: Since the TV isn’t that old, you may still have an active garanty, so try and contact the seller about it and if they can repair it for you for free or give you a new one. If that isn’t the case or if you want to do it yourself I would start with changing the backlight (if you can see the picture using a flashlight as mentioned above), sadly, I can’t find a guide for your model. If you want to try it out and need more help, feel free to ask more questions. Good luck and hope this helped! :D

Hello! :D Sorry to hear that you feel like that, I would recommend you to contact iFixit Customer Support if you think that you got a faulty part.

Hello! :D At least for me, it sounds like it should be the display cable that is bad. This because it works when you are using an external display (it shouldn’t be a GPU problem) and in the beginning, it stopped working when you were moving your display (this is most likely caused by the cable being bent/moved to different positions where some made it lose contact). Good luck and hope this helped!

Hello! :D Double-Check: Just in case, start with double checking so you are trying to do it in the right place because I know there are phones that have holes that look just like the one for the SIM-card ejector but they are something else like a speaker. Solution: When you have verified that, try to find a metal paper clip that is about the same dimension as the ejecting tool. Now unfold the paper clip, then try to press it right over where the broken ejecting tool is so that you can open up the SIM-tray. (From what I have read, this may require some force) When the tray is out, it should be much easier to get the broken tool out by grabbing it on the inside of the SIM-card cover and press it out from the phone. If it still is too far in to be able to get it, please send a picture of how it looks. This guide may also help you to find where the correct hole is and how you should do it.

It was a while ago you wrote this, but I will reply in case you still have the problem or anyone else is reading this in the future.

This is not the correct place to contact iFixit for this kind of thing, you should contact the customer support instead.
