Hi @nawatts , Here’s a link to the ifixit Bose QuietComfort 25 Repair guide, which may be of some help. FYI just click on the device icon shown in a question in ifixit to check if there are any repair guides for the device.

Hi @dx6 , Initially the phone will have to be opened and inspected to see if there is any obvious damage to the systemboard etc caused by the fall. Here’s a link to the ifixit Samsung Galaxy S7 Repair guide which may be of some help. If there is no obvious damage, e.g. cracks in the board, loose components or cable connections etc, board level testing is needed to further diagnose the problem. You may have to contact a reputable, professional mobile phone repair service and ask for a quote.

Hi @mariolatif741 , You first have to prove whether the problem is in the DVD drive itself or back in the computer. As there are no schematics for the laptop available online (or none that I could find), an option to consider is to replace the DVD drive - example only. to determine where the fault lies. For example, if the problem is with the lens in the drive, it would probably cost the same to replace it if not more then a new drive.

Hi, Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the LCD screen in the phone. It is in Spanish but the video shows it all.

Hi, Is the audio jack on the motherboard, on a sound card or on the case? If on the motherboard what is the make and model number of the board? Although if it is on the board there's a fair chance that it is hard mounted onto the board and it may not be so easy to replace. The same if it is on a sound card. If it is in the case it may be easier to by a new audio/usb panel for the case and connect it to the motherboard. As to warranty, even if the computer still has a valid warranty left on it, the warranty may be denied as it may be deemed as "user abuse" (the usual term for damage by the user and not a manufacturing fault) and it will be rejected as a warranty repair.

Hi, Does your workbench have metal legs or a metal frame? Hook a permanent wire connection from a known earth point such as the earth in a power outlet (if your power outlets have them and not just the 2 pin line and neutral connection) or from a water pipe or even a metal stake driven about 2-3 feet into the ground outside, to the workbench metal frame or leg and then connect the ESD wriststrap’s alligator clip to the frame or leg when you go to work on devices. If connecting the wriststrap to a metal leg you may have to make a suitable clip connection point like a self tapping screw half into the leg etc - or if connecting to the frame ensure that it connects to an unpainted surface - nice and shiny metal.

Hi, Just verifying that there is no indications at all when using the projector’s keys or the remote control buttons to see if the projector is responding to any user inputs? Stupid thought but pressing “blank” on the remote doesn’t restore the projector so that the menus now work or that there is an image displayed when connected to a computer? If there is no responses at all I’m wondering if it may be a firmware problem and hopefully not a hardware problem. Here’s a link to the firmware update for the projector. (scroll do to the Downloads section). The download file incorporates a pdf document along with the firmware that explains how to update the firmware. Just trying to do this may give an indication whether the projector still has some life. If there is no response at all when trying this perhaps it may be a hardware problem, i.e. a faulty motherboard. After 10 years of non-use, components may have deteriorated or have been affected by the environment where the projector was stored. Here’s a link to...

Hi @bartles30 , Here’s a link to the Power-Up Boot Fail Trouble Shooting flowchart from the service manual for the TV, which may be of some help.

Hi @punishersdogmax , What are the diagnostic lights on the back of the computer showing? Here’s a link to the Service manual, scroll down to p.139 to view the diagnostic light patterns and their meaning. Found this link, (scroll halfway down the page) which gives the beep error codes for your PC. Your particular error code is not mentioned unfortunately. Try a BIOS reset and see if that restores the PC. Here’s the procedure - Switch off and disconnect the power from the PC. Remove the coin cell battery from the motherboard (note its’ orientation so that you put it back the correct way) for about 1 minute. You may as well check the voltage of the battery while it’s out as they only last about 5-7 years. If it is low (<2.8VDC) replace it. Reinsert the coin cell battery and reconnect the power and switch on the PC and check what happens.

Hi, Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the touchscreen in your tablet. Hopefully it will also be of some help in replacing the LCD screen as well.

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

Hi, As yet I haven't figured out how to amend the link to the User Guide for this radio. The one in the Repair Guide no longer exists, so here is one that still works
