Canon PowerShot SX160 IS: Why does my camera not hold the date and time?

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 07:13:09 -0700

EVERY time I turn on my camera a screen comes up asking me to set a date and time. I do so, it says the date and time is as I set it. However, when I turn it back on the same screen comes up. When pictures are downloaded in my computer. the time is set to 1980!!

iPhone 6: iPhone 6 Black Screen but it's on & can still receive calls

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 10:42:44 -0700

This is the first time I have experienced with my Iphone 6. After I charged it, when I was answering e-mails the screen turned black. I was thinking maybe it was the battery. But when I try to charge it again the screen is still black and I got surprised that my Iphone is ringing and I can still answer calls and it alarms and I still receive text messages. But I couldn't open it because the screen display is black. I tried to "hard reset" but It did not work. What could be the problem? I did not drop the iphone. The screen just turned black unexpectedly.

Samsung galaxy J5 Prime: J5 Prime Phone will not turn on

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:59:09 -0700

So I've had a Samsung J5 Prime for just over 5 months now, and this is the first time it's ever acted up. I didn't charge it over the night, (I forgot) but charged it when i woke up and it was around 60% before I went to school. After about 4 hours of working fine, I went to check the time and my phone wouldn't turn on at all. Held down the power button etc and naturally assumed it had run out of battery. I remember it had about 40% charge left which I thought was a little strange, but I came home and plugged it in.

I've left it charging for about an hour and a half now, but nothing has happened, no red light, no response.

Yes, I checked if the charger was turned on.

I've tried holding down the power button while it's charging

I've tried switching power plugs and chargers

No idea what to do......

Also, the back cover doesn't come off so i cant take out the battery etc.

Blu Studio HD 6.0: Why is my Blu Studio not charging?

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 11:21:49 -0700

Earlier today I tried charging my Blu Studio 6.0 on my computer using the charger cord. The phone was off as I did this.

After a few minutes, I tried turning on the phone. It turned on and I left it alone overnight. When I unplugged the cord from the computer the next morning and tried turning on the phone again. It didn't turn on.

I tried charging the phone using a wall outlet for an hour, and I got the same reaction. It would turn on when it was plugged in but would die when removed from a power source.

iPhone 4: Why is my iPhone 4 not turning on unless it's plugged in?

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 12:23:59 -0700

I recently replaced my cracked screen. I haven't had any problems with my phone at all. It charged, and I could call and send/receive text messages. Then, I went to a party without bringing my charger, and it was dying. When I looked at my phone it was dead. I plugged it in, and nothing happened. The Apple logo would just show up. After a while, it would turn on— but the date would say that it's December 31, and it was constantly searching for 100% battery life. I unplugged it and it turned off. So, I tried again and did a hard reset—but it still did the same thing. I plugged it into my computer, but it would turn on to just the logo and then turn off and keep looping every few seconds. I keep reading on the internet that people are having this same exact problem, but no one has answered them.

Also, while my phone is plugged into the wall charger and my phone is on, it will only last maybe two minutes. Then, this grey film appears and the phone turns off—and then because it's still on the charger, it turns back on.

iPhone 6: Back Camera not working after screen replacement?

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 10:25:22 -0700

Hello,

So I had cracked my iPhone 6 screen and, after replacing the screen, my front camera is working as it normally should but when I switch to the rear camera, the camera app freezes. Also, the flashlight does not work. Any ideas how working on the front of the phone could have caused this or how to go about fixing this issue? I have tried restarting the phone, and updating the iOS to the latest version.

iPhone 5c: Dropped my phone now I have colored lines on the entire screen

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 18:03:17 -0700

I dropped my iPhone 5c on a hard surface, and when I picked it up I saw pink/red lines across the screen. After I hit the lock button, the screen is normal but after about 10-30 seconds pink and red vertical lines appear across the screen and it stops functioning until I press the lock button again. Is there a way to fix this problem or does the LCD screen need to be replaced?
