I finally changed the battery guys😂lol

If anyone remembers my last post, my battery health was at about 50% and i was getting not more than 3 hours on a charge. I changed it yesterday and for the first time i almost went a full day without recharging. I unplugged it at 11am and it got to 20% at around 5:30pm. Thats almost 7 hours😁

Battery casing fell off.

Hi, I may have a "stupid question", but I wanted to ask anyways. Yesterday, the plastic battery cover box (the sides and the top) fell off, somewhere, and I have NO idea where it was when I was out. Nobody heard anything and I have not felt anything, but came home and it just was not there. Obviously, I know it needs replacing and I have already called them, but it will take more than a month before I can get it looked at. Is there anything I could possibly do to make sure I can still use it somehow outside, or will I be stuck at home for the next month? I am obviously counting on the fact that that is how it probably will be, but maybe somehow will know something. Thank you so much in advance! :)

What’s the difference between these MacBook Pro fans? One with a metal cap and one without

So one of the fans on my 2015 15’ MacBook Pro started to make a scraping noise and I plan on replacing the fans as a pair since they don’t cost much, I’ve noticed there are fans with a metal like cap on it and ones without it, what is the difference between these variations? Is one an improved one? Both fans are for the same laptop model

Digital camera repair

Not sure how it broke I think I must’ve sat on it or something weird like that. It can still take pictures and I can transfer them. Does anyone know how easy it would be to fix myself or does anyone know any good places near southwest Michigan/Northwest Indiana that could repair this?

Laptop hinge ripped out- is this repairable or do I need a new lid?

This is dell latitude 3420

It's been 3 years since I started using it.

Recently there has been a lot of sound from this left side of the hinge but i ignored it, when i investigated nothing unusual had happened

Today when i opened the laptop the whole lid came out 💀

The screen is still working fine but i am afraid to do anything now

If someone knows what could be done to please help!

Update: it's almost functional now thanks for the replies guys :)

My Laptop's bezel is somehow coming off near the hinge. Is there a way to fix it ?

That part is not really accessible because the hinge blocks my fingers from reaching it, but basically the bezel part of my bottom left corner has somehow come loose and won't just 'fit' back no matter how many times i press it down. Due to this, some part of the bezel near the screen is bending and I'm afraid it might break or damage the screen someday.

Is there a way to fix this ? I don't see any way to open up the hinge and don't really think I should be doing it either (I have opened the back panel of the laptop before, but I don't wanna take the risk with the screen). I'm a 17 year old student so it'd be hard for me to get it fixed from a proper place unless its absolutely necessary to fix.

Screen popped out

My Lenovo yoga has its screen out of place and I’m wondering if there we will be any issues popping it back into place or just ignoring it. There is a slight discoloration on the screen and it won’t fold back completely.

Still repairable?

I accidentally broke my hp laptop and there is no way my parents will buy me another one, I still have all the parts from the broken one and only the outer like main laptop screen and the cover is broken. I was thinking of building another working laptop from scratch using the leftover components and possibly buying new and better ones.

How to replace these battery welded tabs?

https://preview.redd.it/59yrvf1gbpah1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8f8489e653f0b7f304dc16139a95455a3b2458c

I'm replacing the batteries for this vacuum, but I can't find these specific welded tabs for sale anywhere and I'm not sure what specific keywords to look up. I'm also wondering if I would need a soldering kit on top of a spot welder in order to attach it to the circuit board?

I opened my macbook and I don’t know what to do next

A couple days ago my macbook stopped turning on. I assumed it is and had been a charging port issue since previously one of my charging ports had stopped working when I dropped it on the charger. I again dropped it on the charger the second time. When I woke up it didn’t turn on. I assumed it had to be the charging port, but I replaced the charging port with the correct one. But the computer still won’t turn on. I looked at the back while it was charging and there is a light blinking next to NEt eN8 structures. What does that mean? It is a macbook from 2020 the one without the m1 chip macbook 13” retina one i think.

The blinking light is next to the big yellow square

This is an extremely vague post as to just understand what’s going on. If willing to further help or educate. My communication is typically a lot more clear and concise.

Mystery part while reassembling PS5 Pro

Hey folks, I was doing a partial teardown on a used ps5 pro, just to check for any pests that might have taken up residence in it and as I was reassembling, I found this spongy spacer looking thing. I found it right around where it is in the picture. Can anybody tell me what this thing is and where it goes? I feel so stupid.

Bought new battery for 3DS XL

For the instructions, it says charge fully and charge 2+ hours. Does it mean when the charge light on the 3ds turns off i leave it charging for 2 hours after?
