Hi, Can you view the TV menu screens OK? With the TV on and audio heard, try shining a torch at an angle close to the screen and check if there are any images visible. They will be very faint if they are there at all so trying this in a darkened room may help to see them. If there are images then there is a backlight problem in the TV. This could be caused by a faulty backlight array or a faulty power board. If you do not see anything it could be a faulty main board or tcon board. Further testing would be necessary to narrow down the problem

Hi, Check that there is continuity of the wires from the ice mold thermistor back to the control board just to make sure that it is being registered by the control board. Here’s an image taken from the tech sheet that shows where it goes to. (click on image to enlarge for better viewing). Also check what the actual temperature in the freezer compartment is as shown by a thermometer and not the refrigerator’s display panel, just to see if they match up OK.

Hi, When you say “I even pressed the reset button on the dashboard and that did no justice” do you mean that you turned the knob to adjust the brightness of the panel lights? See image below for location of the panel lights adjustment knob. (click on image to enlarge for better viewing)

Hi The impurities in liquids (except distilled water) causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the game console’s operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it is completely cleaned away First do not try to charge or to turn on your console and then remove the battery as soon as possible from the console to minimize any further damage. Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the device and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. If possible, do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives and is not as effective. If you do have to use it, check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the percentage of IPA the better Here is a link that describes the process. Electronics Water Damage As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be...

Hi @matthewcisler , Here’s the maintenance and service guide for the laptop. Go to p.43 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the systemboard from the laptop. This will allow you to replace the SD card reader as it is hard mounted on the board. You will need smd soldering skills and tools to do the repair. If this seems too daunting, contact a reputable, professional laptop repair service and ask for a quote. Alternatively a cheaper option is to purchase a USB card reader which you plug into the laptop’s USB port and use that instead. Just search online for USB card reader to find suppliers that suit you best

Hi @latoderia , It may be a loose or faulty power jack in the device. Here’s the ifixit Power and 3.5 mm Audio Adapter Jacks Replacement guide. It shows how to access the power jack so that it can be checked and tested and also replaced if it is faulty If it is not loose from the circuit board, use an Ohmmeter to check if it is OK from the inner pin connector and also the outer ring connector of the socket to where the connector cable plugs into the socket that the jack is connected to. Sometimes with this type of socket the centre pin breaks internally in the socket and this will open circuit the power supply path to the device. If this is the case then it cannot be repaired and will have to be replaced. Replacement sockets are available from electronics parts stores or online. Be aware though that there are two DC barrel type plugs and sockets that are very close in size so make sure that you get the right one to avoid any problems. The difference is not really discernible to the eye as it is only 0.4mm...

Hi @smokin6869 , Here’s the ifixit Jawbone Big Jambox Speaker Replacement guide. This will help you to gain access to the speakers where there should be information on the speaker itself as to the model number of the speaker or if not at least its impedance 4 Ohms or 8 Ohms etc and also will allow you to measure the dimensions of the speaker etc so that you can get suitable compatible replacements

Hi, Hi, Try the following and check if either resolves the problem i). Wipe the cache partition and check if it works OK. ii). Start the tablet in safe mode and check if it works OK. If it works OK when in safe mode, then a downloaded app is the cause of the problem. The trick is to find out which one it is. You will need to uninstall each downloaded app, one by one and test the tablet in normal mode between each uninstall to see if it works OK. When it does then the last downloaded app that was uninstalled was the culprit. A downloaded app is one that you downloaded and installed in the tablet and was not already pre-installed when you got it.

Hi @boppysmom , Just wondering if the link to corporate is down. Perhaps your PC needs to boot from a network source (corporate) and not from an internal hard drive. If you don't have Administrator rights to access then you may not be able to get into BIOS on startup to check the settings to verify this. Try it anyway. Start the PC and repeatedly press F10 when the monitor light turns green to access the BIOS setup utility. If you can get into BIOS go to the Boot Order tab and check if the boot order is for a Network Interface card (might show as PXE boot) as the 1st option. If it is then check where the PC’s network cable connect to a router and make sure that they’re still connected OK and that the router is also working and connected OK.

Hi, Don’t know the answer but here’s a link to the parts for a BES900 that has two .pdf diagrams showing all the parts so perhaps they may give a clue as to how to remove the drip tray. Hopefully this is of some help until a more definitive answer comes along.

The 3rd wire from a battery is usually connected to a thermistor attached to the battery which signals the temperature (resistance value changes with temp) to the battery management circuit in the motherboard.

Charging will be halted to if it got too hot before being fully charged, which may create problems e.g. a fire

If leaving the 3rd wire disconnected, the battery should not be left unsupervised whilst it is charging

Hi @captainsnowball ,

FYI

voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”

The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation
