i was playing at the courts near my house and someone left this as it was broken i was wondering if there was a way i can fix this the best possible way the crack is right above the handle i was thinking of using gorilla epoxy and filling the portion that cracked and then using rubber bands as it dries another idea i had was somehow securing two pieces of wood or plastic around the point and then covering it
I have an Iphone X with a broken screen. I dropped it in water and it began causing issues since then. There is a vertical line down the screen and none of the touch screen functions work.
Will buying this kit and replacing my old screen with it resolve all the issues? Or is there a chance it might not be enough?
Thanks.
DIGITAL CAMERA WITH STUCK BATTERY!!!
Ive tried everything as you can tell, tweezers, wiggling shaking it. THE BATTERY WONT BUDGE. It was all corroded when i opened it but i managed to clean it up somewhat but i swear this battery is welded in. i need it out can someone give me some advice please!
If it matters the camera is a Fujifilm Finepix A860
I’m putting an iPhone XR into a new housing , and the power/volume buttons did not come with gaskets attached or in the packaging . Should I forgo the gaskets entirely or buy the only ones I can find , which are the iPhone 7 gaskets on the ifixit site .
My neighbor gave away their walking pad for free to whoever could fix it, so I thought I’d take a stab at it having never done it before, but willing to try.
When I plug in it turns on and I get an E02 error. Took off the hood and it was free of hair/debris and everything was plugged in.
The motor belt felt a little tight and so does the band.
However I also noticed some yellow stuff on the motherboard and I’m wondering if that should be there.
I have minimal experience in electronics, but willing to learn with this project.
The big question, is it salvageable? Would it be cheaper to replace the motor than to get a new one or do I run the risk of it still not working? Open to any and all thoughts.
Will post pictures in a comment.
Thanks!
My 3ds just fell and now the L button is stuck it doesn't press down and it is working in games without me pressing it. What do I need to do please help. Second photo is the L button
Toothbrush was thrown and now the bottom is cracked. It works but I’m worried that it may not be safe to use if it is damaged.
Can I still use it and fix it?
So I was trying to fix my left shoulder button which was stuck but I tried putting the spring a lot of times but it isn't quite right and I don't know what to do anymore
I have a 110v window unit AC that had a leak and caused the refrigeration to escape. The leak occurred because of me partially disassembling the unit to clean it. I usually do this every 2 or 3 years and have never had issues. Until this one, anyway. One hundred percent my fault. I own it. But, I’m now attempting to repair it. I purchased a manifold kit and a vacuum pump from harbor freight as well as all the things I will need to solder the copper line back as it should be, however, this has me with questions that I can’t answer alone.
I bought this refurbished about 1/2 a year ago.
This is my main phone (Galaxy S22). It can loose like 40% while just being in my pocket for a about 7 hours. I charge it about twice a day with pretty average use and the battery Health on accubattery is 74%. I really am not looking for a new phone. I don’t mind the bad battery life too much as I can have a power bank or plugs but I can go out for about 2-3 hours and go from 95% to about 60%.
I know that these phones have the issue of the glue loosening sometimes but when I push it, it’s really quite firm.
Is it spicy or am I worrying about nothing? Please let me know so I can sort it
EDIT: SOLVED!!
I opened up my computer last night to get the dust out, and only disconnected three cables (circled in image) while it was open. I cleaned out the fans and vents with a toothbrush, reassembled, closed it up, and powered it on, but the keyboard is no longer working. At first it seemed like nothing was working (backlight + keys) but I guess the backlight doesn’t kick on until you’ve entered the password.
I have windows installed via bootcamp as well, and was able to get it to boot to windows by pressing the “forgot password” button in macOS, and then using the apple logo to select the startup disk. Once it rebooted into windows the keyboard lit up fine, but still none of the keys worked.
I’ve attempted to reset smc and nvram several times, first time it seemed like one of them did something as it booted to a different screen, but can’t get it to replicate now.
Can anyone help me please. I don’t have the funds to take it anywhere. I’m hoping I just knocked a ribbon cable loose but not sure which one controls the keyboard and several online searches haven’t helped.

Keycap is cracked fully in 2 places and is a shallow key that is around a milimeter thick. Key itself works perfectly fine(E key) but I am worried about damaging the key hardware itself if I remove it. I've heard that you can remove the keycap and superglue it and then reattach it but not sure how I would do that safely. Plus, I have no idea how I would go about reattaching said key safely and keeping the functionality. I saw this issue as a hairline fracture a few weeks ago but I being an idiot tried to leave it and use it gingerly which did not work out well.
I’ve had these for about 3 years I want to say and I’m not sure when they broke, I just remember trying to put them on and being confused. Gorilla glue? Super glue? help. It stays together if I hold it like this so I assume there’s no missing chips and it’ll function like normal if I just glue it or tape it.

The anti insect mesh (net) on my screen door got ripped by strong winds, and I want to replace it on my own. My building said they would charge me $80 for material and $80/hour for labor, which seemed crazy. I found some videos on YouTube, but they all seem to be using spline, which mine doesn’t have. Do I need to buy glue, or how do I put the new mesh into place?
Please feel free to suggest concrete Amazon products, both in terms of net and tools.
A friend of mine replaced the battery on his s23 with an ifixit one. The next day he noticed that the phone died extremely quick. He checked accubattery and it said 74% battery health. When we checked the charge cycles it said that from 6% to 100% it was 74%. He used the battery for a few more weeks thinking it would get better. It got worse. In one month it fell to 69% battery health. He contacted ifixit and got a second battery. This one had 79% bh the second day and continues to have 79% bh after 2 weeks. He got a refund.
My other friend replaced the battery on his xiaomi 13. At first it seemed fine (101% bh the second day). Over the last 5 months it fell to 86% bh. He contacted ifixit support, showed them accubattery screenshots, but they said that since accubattery is 3rd party app it could be wrong and that they cant give him a refund yet. The thing to note is that ifixit themselves want u to check bh using accubattery. I dont know if he will manage to get a refund or not.
My third friend's brother replaced the battery on his s21. the second day it said 78% bh. After 2 weeks its still at 78% bh. He did not yet contact customer support.
This is not meant to hate on ifixit. It seems that their customer support is fairly good, but the batteries are incredibly overpriced and do not perform as adverised.
Its also important to note that none of them did anything wrong when replacing the batteries (at least from what they told me and from my perspective as a man who works in a phone repair shop during summer).
Hey everyone! I was just watching tv like ten minutes ago then all of the sudden a massive dark spot just appeared while I was watching. It’s been working fine for a long time then this just happened. What should I do.
EDIT (for people who might encounter the same problem): I watched this video

I tried prying the side without the cable, since i can't seem to separate the seam of the cap on the cable side.
When my flat screwdriver dug in between the aluminum (?) case and the black plastic cap, I forced it open. Black plastic cap broke, 1/3 of it got removed with the rest stayed in place. I tried sliding the micro sd card out through the broken hole but it is still won't pass cleanly. I wedged my flathead into the outer side of the usb A port, deformed it, and the micro sd card finally retrieved
Micro sd card still works
Miraculously, the entire USB hub also still works, even the deformed USB A side (i tried inserting a sacrificial usb A just to mold the opening).
Also to add, I was surprised it hasn't been a whole month (bought april 18, day of incident is may 13), so I contacted Temu AI customer service. They just refunded the $3 usb hub and didn't even ask for proof or return (which I can't return anyway with the microsd card stuck inside)
ORIGINAL:
Sorry, don't know where to ask this
I bought a usb hub from Temu. It works fine
But one day, when I inserted the micro sd, it went more than it should. I tried to fish it out using my nail, but it ended up getting pushed all the way through. It is loose inside, you can hear it rattle when shaken.
I'm thinking of opening it but there's no screw. There's plastic on both ends, which i think i have to loosen so I can slide the content out but it's too tight, I don't even know if it's the right way
Help
