The force touch gasket is a two-sided adhesive gasket which provides the necessary adhesion for screen replacement. If not using a new force touch gasket, then B-7000 adhesive can be used to seal up the display to the watch body.

Can you please specify the make and model of the microwave. It makes sense that a single door switch would be in both the safety and lighting controls.

Do you have a specific make/model of this washer? I did a search and found something that might be helpful (this was a front loading Kenmore but I expect the controls have some common features/protections and Whirlpool makes many of these machines): ''The washer has a line voltage filter in it that suppresses any voltage issues prior to making it to the control board. There are times when the connections become corroded and start causing issues. Be sure to unplug the washer prior to diagnosing or repairing it. I suggest removing the top and following the power cord into the machine. There is a module that the power cord goes into and that is the power filter. Unplug and re-plug the wires at the filter and at the electronic control and then reassemble that washer. This may solve the issue. '' The person said that you may have to replace the control board which is surely expensive.

If the Toshiba has a external output like most laptops, check to make sure indeed the video adapter is functional by connecting it to an external monitor. If that checks out, then the symptom seems to point to loss of backlighting. Your model is an LED backlit monitor so the circuit on the LCD would be handling that functionality. Either you got a DOA replacement panel and/or cable or worse, the driving circuit. I would try both cables. Otherwise the problem would seem to be the laptop motherboard panel driving circuit.

I've never heard of replacing thermal pads. Why are you wanting to replace pads? Can you verify that they have failed in some way? If you want to replace the existing pads, then use the same thickness that is on the component as you want good contact between the component and the heat sink / heat pipe.

Wipe off everything that you can on the outside while cool. Check the oil and gas levels and add fluid to replace spilled fluids. The spilled fluid will probably just burn off (think when you spill a little oil on the crankcase of the car....).

What several of the lovely Laser and Ink Jet Printer companies do is have a chip on the toner cartridge and some type of reader on the printer to ensure that you are using their (new) cartridges. You may need to search ebay and the internet to locate a "kit" that you can use to defeat the system that is used by that particular printer. Look also for a "hard reset" function that might help reset any of the counters that might prevent printing with aftermarket toner cartridges.

I'd be concerned any time that your refrigerator would pull enough current to trip the branch fuse in a fuse panel or the whole "house". Typically major appliances are internally fused/protected to even prevent a home panel fuse or circuit breaker to open up on short circuit or overcurrent. Something has likely shorted and/or protection is missing in the power circuit of the refrigerator! Please provide a model # of the Fisher and Paykel.

According to the Samsung support site: "External Memory (Optional) External Memory : SD (up to 2GB guaranteed), SDHC (up to 32GB guaranteed), SDXC (up to 64GB guaranteed)" xD is a proprietary format card for Olympus and Fujifilm cameras. I don't see much online for adapters so I suggest buying an SD format cards.

Hey Paul, I don't have this board but you're exactly right - that is indeed a diode. Diodes pass current in one direction and there are several types. Some google searching for A6 diode indicates that it could be a BAS16 or a BAV series high speed switching diode. There seem to be a few diode manufacturers / types using this code. Check with Mouser electronics or other supplier as they could probably help you find a replacement. BAS16 datasheet

Hey Mason,

I think there are some articles that identify them but if you take a look at the Series 3 teardown, the chip mounted at the top middle of the inside of the display is the force touch controller, so my educated guess would be that the middle ribbon cable is responsible for touch. I had the same problem and reseated all of them again and it worked after that.

I’m able to power on my camera board (I have it plugged into the PC USB), it triggers the computer USB storage but the PC will not mount the card storage. With it plugged into the PC USB port the battery charging voltage is 4.1VDC. I’m not sure that I ever used the parking mode so I don’t know how log it takes to deplete the battery but I don’t think it stays charged very long.

Hey Adam,

Good question. I pulled mine just now to see and you’re right, it is a pad with adhesive holding it down. Be careful lifting it as there is a tiny circuit board on the pad end. Unfortunately I have had the replacement camera fail in exactly the same way and I contacted their support but they will not replace this second defective one. These unfortunately are not reliable. Post back if you are able to get yours working with a replacement battery. I think the battery might only be used for the parking mode but I’m not sure. My voltage measurement on my battery is zero with this installed. For grins I may try to plug it in and then check the voltage across the connection on the circuit board. Good luck.

Thank you Paul. This was my first such guide and I hope to publish more. I'm glad to have been helpful and appreciate the acknowledgement. Take care.
