Hi friends. I purchased the ifixit Series 3 screen replacement and the ifixit Force Touch Sensor Gasket for Series 3...

My brother-in-law said when he removed his docking cable it broke the connector (can see missing metal on top)- but I can...

Unless the video card / GPU / chipset supports it, waste of money. Update (02/01/2020): Reading online I found both the 940M and Intel 5500 supports 3840 x 2160 so you should be good to go with an upgrade, all else being equal (like you said, power, video connectors, etc).

Are you trying to boot from a USB drive with an Operating System? Make sure the USB Drive boots on another computer and that the BIOS is set correctly to boot from USB.

Yeah there isn’t much to shop vacs. It’s the the hose, filter setup or motor. That’s pretty much it. Unplug the hose and see if you’re getting suction at the base. If not and you said the filter is good, then the motor (you said was noisy) is damaged. You might be able to open it up and check for something fouling up the motor. Since it isn’t that old I would write or email the vendor and complain of the failure and they may offer a replacement for minimal shipping or no charge. Good luck!

The most likely issue, if all of the ribbon cables have been properly seated back into their connectors, is that a ribbon cable was damaged.

Please check if this model has a coin collector. I had never had a front load washer and never heard of such a thing until I got that error and checked out the pump and drain hose and found a plastic compartment filled with crap that I had to clean out. Didn’t have those on top loaders that I have owned. If you fill the washer up and then advance the cycle or set the mode to drain, what happens? If pump and drain line are clear, including any filter or inline coin collector, then you may have a sensor or electronic problem.

The power supply is 19VDC and I looked at the power cable connector. This is a VERY common DC plug and jack combination used on many AC-DC power supply adapters (think laptops!). The main thing is to check the diameter/length of the plug barrel and match it up to the replacement part. Newark Electronics or Digikey or Mouser among others will have this part for you. You may have to adjust the mounting etc.

So your trying  to splice in a piece of cable that you’ll solder on both ends...one side to the existing USB-C (male) connector and the other back into the 3 wire cable going into the power brick?  For sure you’ll have to match up the number and size of each conductor.  According to some online literature, we are looking at USB-C Power Delivery (PD).  The Red wire is your VCC, the blue is CC (control) and the Black is the Gnd. The CC wire allows for signaling if the voltage needs to change for the sink (load…your laptop, in this case).

You’ll have to replace the battery if you’ve tried all of the reset options posted online.

You can replace the battery if you really like the tablet. There is a replacement guide on this site. This is a well known problem with Kindle Fire tablets.

Pleased to help

There are some things which can cause this - online they talk about a stuck water valve or a door switch problem. Make sure to completely restart a cycle. There is also a reset process where you unplug the power cord and then hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds after plugging the power cord back in.

I’m not sure as this repair was for a ‘friend of a friend’. I used that B-7000 import stuff. Does anyone know how to source the adhesive that Apple uses or what that stuff is?

Thank you williamsjond I’m glad I could help!

Anagazo,

Glad that you found an alternate technique that works for you. I wouldn’t call the heat ineffective and I recommend installing a new force touch gasket regardless after opening up the glued surface like this display.

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.
