Chosen Solution The microphone function stopped working when dictating messages or when using Siri. I hve tried several steps but cannot make it “hear"me. How do I restore this function? Does the microphone work in other apps (Camera or Voice Recorder) If it does then you may want tor try first resetting all settings (Settings-General-Reset-Reset All Settings) (This does not delete any data). If that does not work you may want to try restoring in iTunes....

Chosen Solution Can anyone recommend any products to purchase for upgrading a MacBook Pro showing some age? Thanks.

Chosen Solution I have a 55 in TCL roku TV. I watched it one night and it was fine. The next morning, when I turned it on, instead of the regular start up and menu picture, they were replaced by vertical lines colored in association with the picture that should have appeared. I have since replaced the main, power and wifi boards in hope that would solve the issue. However, the picture remains as only vertical colored lines....

Chosen Solution Kenmore 110 washer. Have just replaced the water pressure control switch but that didn’t fix issue. Water fills to level and begins agitation. Washer DOES NOT DRAIN before rinse cycle, instead just fills a second time and causes the washer to overflow. If i manually set it to spin, it does spin and drain, so I know that works… just can’t figure out why it doesn’t do it on its own....

Chosen Solution I took my camcorder outside and it stared raining. Now whenever I use my camera the lens is foggy and I’m not able to see clearly on the device. Did me taking my camera outside permanently damage my camera? If not how can I fix this problem? Water entering your camera can leave smudges on the interior of your lens that you can not clean. Do not attempt to use a hair dryer to dry your camera....

Chosen Solution This image shows what happens if I don’t have it connected to an HDMI external display. I can boot to safe mode the internal monitor has no issue (not connected w/ HDMI) once reset within 30 sec after desktop is shown the internal display goes out (image provided) I have ran hardware detect (booting + D) no errors found, nvram reset and smc reset done no difference. But all is good as soon as I plug in HDMI both external and internal monitor blink then come back working no issues only once HDMI is unplugged I get either a fading out on internal or it does the image provided....

Chosen Solution Entered the. The service tag # couple times n [12305] error code appears BIOS passwords can be made by users of a computer (owner of the HDD) to protect the hard drive from being accessed by others. The hard drive is basically inaccessible if you do not know the BIOS password.

Chosen Solution When I try to unlock my tablet, a green box appears and won’t allow me to unlock. How do I make the green box go away?? It may be that you have TalkBack enabled. It’s an accessibility function that gives spoken feedback. If it is TalkBack, try drawing a “L” shape with your finger in the middle of the screen. It should bring up a menu. Choose “pause feedback” then tap OK....

Chosen Solution This cable on my iPhone 6 seems to have torn off of the phone I’m wondering what is attached to and if I can replace it I am guessing this is an Iphone 6 or 6s. That is the wifi antenna. To replace that antenna you have to take every part out of the phone to get to it. Here is one on ebay. ``https://www.ebay.com/i/372198220826?ch…

Chosen Solution So the touchscreen on our iPad Air Wi-Fi quit working, so my first thought was to do a hard reboot - no luck, next I opened it up to check and reseat all of the connections - no luck, third step was to replace the digitizing screen, no luck, fourth step was to replace the LCD screen, no luck - what now, logic board? I already have ~ $200 in parts invested do I give up now or what?...

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 5, and I accidentally removed some of the black coating on the back of the home button, using rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip. What is that stuff? When I powered the phone on again, I found the home button wasn’t working at all, and I thought I would have to replace it; then I simply rotated the home button 180 degrees and powered the phone on again, and this time, it worked just fine....

Chosen Solution When I print a photo on photo paper I get black lines all across the picture. Get into your printer settings and run the “Clean Print Heads” option (or similar wording). I used to get that when I didn’t print regularly and the color heads would get clogged up, similar to an old spray paint nozzle.

Chosen Solution My Asus E204 TBCL432B came with only 32gb eMMC storage. I found an upgrade motherboard with 128gb storage. If I replace the motherboard will be it difficult to start the machine ? Will I have to install Windows ? As long as you don’t upgrade the board to a better model CPU wise, usually no. However, take a backup just in case because even though it isn’t always an issue, you may have to reinstall....

Chosen Solution Nooo was dropped and the cover is loose A repair shop. Seriously, try your local repair shop that repairs electronics, other than that we can’t really advise that as well, you could be anywhere in the world.

Chosen Solution I had my iPhone into a shop for repairing when my power button failed. After I got it back, I have very bad bluetooth reception and almost non-existent WiFi. I remember that the shop did not use gloves. I took it back there and they are denying all responsibility. So I assume that there’s probably some finger oil on various parts and I’ve seen all of the suggestions on here about cleaning “all contacts” with a degreaser or Windex....

Chosen Solution I have the yellow eject logo popping up on the screen and I cannot eject I had a similar problem with Canon camcorder … it’s a common problem. i found a video on YouTube which helped so try there … I found this https://youtu.be/CkAJ-nunvks

Chosen Solution Album: http://imgur.com/a/7iklg At first, I thought it was the battery, so I had it replaced, but the screen is still separate from the digitizer. Any guesses on what could’ve happened? andrienalinerush, could be caused by a low quality replacement screen. Of course it is also possible that it is a factory screen that missed the QA process. If the phone is still covered under warranty, I’d get it repaired that way....

Chosen Solution My Playstation 2 memory card slot 1 does not work properly. I have inserted many different memory cards to see if it was that, however, each of them is not recognised by any of my games. I have looked everywhere to see if anyone could repair it for me and no one seems interested. It could be simply that something has got inside the slot and is preventing the card from seating properly....

Chosen Solution It’s been a few months since my tv messed up. I think it happens because my dog !#^&@@ on it since it was on the floor for a while. Is this fixable??? Hi @v3rydryt0w3l , Turn off the TV (if on), disconnect the power from the TV and then remove the back cover from the TV. Inspect all the boards for corrosion, especially the tcon board (if it has one and not just a mainboard and power board)....
