Chosen Solution My LG 42LV5500 television went out this weekend. It was working perfectly (as it has since it was purchased in 2011), but when I turned it off and then on a few minutes later, the screen was black with a bunch of horizontal lines stretching across the screen. There was no popping noise or anything. The sound was still coming through the speakers just fine, though, and the horizontal lines moved up or down or changed colors depending on when the screen image moved....

Chosen Solution How can I get the screws out with no head they are loose but will not come out If they have no head you can try to shove a hard flathead to make a grove and screw them out, you can try with tweezers or worst case scenario, drill them out. To remove stripped screws: If you can get at the screw heads try to grab a long-nose pliers and squash the screw head, then you can try to use a flathead screwdriver or by turning the pliers, if that you don’t have those tools you can try with the normal screwdriver and a rubberband in between....

Chosen Solution Hello & Thanks to ifixit Community! Has anyone tried or have more info about Seagate ssd drives for upgrading 27” late 2015 2TB Fusion drive? On paper seems they have higher score than samsung or other brands! I know OWC is the best but too expensive and Crusial , Transcend are just good but want to check if there is anything better than these and samsung evo 870! At the end I have decided to just change the HDD drive and not touch the Blade SSD since I see many people reported that their upgrade after few months failed…And Apple original hard to find in EU and too expensive....

Chosen Solution My GBA SP can flip open, staying about 150 degrees. After I got a new shell, the screen part began to feel more heavy (loose and floppy to say the most) and doesn’t make that click sound whenever I open or close my gameboy. I figured it would be the hinges so I reopened my handheld and disassembled most of the parts to get to them. I fixed the hinges, but the screen half still flops; bypassing the 150 degree angle to 180 and still doesn’t do the clicking....

Chosen Solution My Nabi is 7 years old and I haven’t turned it on in years until today. I resetted my Nabi, erasing all of its data. I am now on the welcome screen and it is asking me to register for a new Nabi ID. However, I am not able to do that because Fuhu/Nabi services and online servers are down. The company is now defunct and so my tablet won’t connect to the Nabi server to register....

Chosen Solution I have a 1GB 1.42GHz, 80GB Combo, Airport Extreme eMac running 10.5.8. I was wondering if I could partition my hard drive to run older versions of Mac OS. For example, like bootcamp, you would be able to hold alt at start-up and the different partitions would show. Would it be possible to have Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, Mac OS 8 and so on on separate partitions?...

I am pretty well versed when it comes to soldering etc and everything appears to be in place, and all other buttons/bumpers are working correctly.

Chosen Solution I recently cracked my screen on my phone and it has been getting worse. I don’t want to bring it to a store to replace it, as they charge $80 (rip off). Looking online, I’ve seen digitizers, LCD screens, combinations, etc. Am I alright to buy a digitizer and install this myself? Do I need an LCD and digitizer combo? How can i repair at home for under $50...

Chosen Solution My kids have broken off their xbox one phone jacks on their headsets. I have purchased new 4 conductor phone jacks from mouser.com but I can not figure out how ot handle the conductors nor what terminal each one should be soldered to. There appears to be six individual conductors, coaxial inside of each other in three sets. Looks kind of like magnet wire. Can I assume the three outer, sort of sheilding wire looking conductors are the ground, and the three inner ones are individual positive wires?...

Chosen Solution I accidentally dropped my S5 and scratched the frame of the phone (the silver frame where the volume and sleep buttons are). I was wondering if stores will replace this part for me. I am unfamiliar with repairing electronics and don’t want to damage my phone more so I’d appreciate contact information to stores/facilities that will do the repair for me. If no stores do this kind of thing, how difficult would it be to do this myself?...
