Chosen Solution I would like to upgrade my laptop soon, however I see from the user manual (nicely provided and well-detailed by HP) that I need to take the rubber feet off to take case screws out and access the laptop.

Chosen Solution Hi, it all started when I got frustrated and broke the triggers on one controller, I have two controllers so it wasn’t the biggest issue. I just opened up my other controller and took the triggers which I then put back into my broken controller. However, after doing this n’either of the controllers will turn on or charge anymore. It can’t really be a battery issue, the ribbon cable is also in for both the touchpad and the back of the PS4....

Chosen Solution Hello there, a few months ago I replaced the screen of my Xiaomi A2. I also had to change the phone’s casing.

Chosen Solution When using phone, the right side of the screen becomes frozen and will not change. Have to turn off and let set for several min. before it restores to full screen.

Unfortunately, even after removing the screen and tightening the screws I still have the problem.
