FixHub Portable Power Station: FixHub battery - replace cells

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:33:00 -0700

I purchased this station when it first came out. it sat in a drawer for eight months. it was 90% charged or full when i did so. when pulling it out, it was dead. I was reading less than 2V from the cells.

Replacement battery packs were sold out here so i bought a DIY spot welder and six Molicel batteries. I replaced the cells and tabbed it the same way i saw it when i disassembled. I can read 4V from pos-to-neg on each cell. they all have the same chemistry (i drain/charge checked them).

I get 2.0V across the terminals/connector but I can't get the power station to come up.

I was able to hard reset the station and upload the latest firmware (1.4.3 at this time, i believe).

Is the BMS on the battery dead? is the pack not serviceable?

I would've just bought a replacement pack and called it a day but I'd like to try and salvage something from my attempt here.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

JBL Tune 720BT: How do I get to the hinge?

hi!
to avoid buying another headset while this one still works, i'd like to know how to reach the right cup hinge, as it is only connected by the wire currently. replacing the pleather cover would also be good as it has begun to come loose from the cups.

thought i'd ask here to avoid ruining them !

thank you in advance !!

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: PC not detecting my receiver through the given SteelSeries usb cord.

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:48:41 -0700

I have been using the headset for a while now and one day it just stopped working. I randomly got an alert that says, “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it”. My headset will connect to the receiver but the receiver wont connect to my PC. I know the issue is not with my PC because I tried connecting through the receiver to my laptop and got the same problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Book3 15": Laptop won't charge, pulsating coil whine tone present when plugged.

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 09:56:08 -0700

Motherboard: NP750XDA i5-1135G7 Motherboard
Make: Samsung
Model: Samsung Galaxy Book3 15"

Soo my dad just dropped his laptop into the swamp water, a little bit corrosion but he didn't clean it so it ate through atleast 1 layer of the PCB...I bought exact same motherboard from ebay that is non functional (not charging).

So far I've replaced the cracked coils (2R2-144) and upper mosfet, I've desoldered all the polymer cap and test for continuity on the pads...they all beeped so I'm just going to desolder all the components until it stops beeping.

The symptoms are coil whine rythmic tone when plugged the charger into the USB C PD, the CPU die gets really hot (both the large and the small one) and the caps on the other side of the motherboard also gets really hot....

I tried to inject voltage (1V&2Amp) into the R22 coils but the components are heating up slowly I THINK 18c to 24c in 8 minutes.

My question are then, if anyone has have this weird coil whine rythmic tone and if the said person managed to fix it?

Google Pixel 8: Every time I try to add a finger print I get "Can't complete set-up"

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 08:55:38 -0700

I bought this pixel 8 as a refurbished phone from a registered and approved eBay seller. Everything works, except for when I try to add a fingerprint.

I've tried my thumb numerous times and also other fingers. The screen is clean, I've reset the phone, turned off and on, added moisturiser, pressed hard then gently, put screen protector mode on, etc. All of the troubleshooting tips given by AI.

It allows me to go through the process, but the second I press my finger on the sensor for the last time, to complete the set-up completion ring to 100%, a notification instantly pops up to say "Can't complete finger set-up. You can try again now or set up your finger print later"

Can anyone give any advice on this?

Dell Latitude 3480: Dell Latitude 3480 charger LED turns off - Motherboard short troubleshooting

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 08:46:13 -0700

My Dell Latitude 3480 has a short circuit on the motherboard. When I plug in the charger, the charger's LED immediately turns off. I have already opened the laptop and confirmed that the LED stays on when the DC-IN cable is disconnected from the motherboard, but turns off as soon as it is connected, even with the battery, RAM, HDD, and WiFi card removed.

Are there any common components (like specific capacitors or MOSFETs) on this specific board that are known to fail and cause this? I'm considering a new laptop, but I wanted to see if there are any last-ditch motherboard repair tips from the community before I give up on it.

Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9: My spacebar key is removed, what should I do

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 08:41:51 -0700

While I was working on my laptop, I noticed some tiny dust particles, so I blew into my spacebar key. After 2–3 minutes, it started feeling tight and the press became soft. I checked it and tapped it 4–5 times to try to remove any dust that might be stuck inside, but it didn’t fix the issue.

So I tried to fix it on my own. I used a nail cutter and a sharp object to remove the key. When I removed it and tried to place it back, it started sticking to the surface and wasn’t coming back properly. After trying for 15–20 minutes, it finally started working again.

However, the problem is that the key is not properly attaching to the scissor metal clamp (from the bottom side). I went to a local shop, and they told me that there is a spring inside and that I have lost it, so I would need to replace the entire keyboard, which would cost around ₹2500–3000.

Right now, the key is working, but I have a concern: it doesn’t seem to be fitted properly with the clamp. It is fixed, but not securely from the bottom side—it feels slightly lifted (around half a cm).

So I want to ask: is there really a spring inside the key or not? Or am I being misled by the shopkeeper? And how can I fix this?
