Hi @schach Aww that is nasty... if it is under warranty.... send in to get it repaired. Some countries have 36 months covered. Had some experiences on lighting damages… especially during ADSL era… many modems were fried…. cannot detect carrier signal. If there is no warranty left….. you need to open up and check….. hopefully is some scr being sacrificed to prevent further damage, else also need to change the controller, and misc Interesting read.. https://incompliancemag.com/article/desi...-ethernet-cable-ports-to-withstand-lightning-surges/

Hi Jeff Based on the teardown pictures, they are using IPEX connector. the glue is probably there to hold them in place, also to prevent from accidental removal. there are couple of choices.... either modify to this like below on the plastic... to allow removal antenna.... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32947888... as for the IPEX size connector … im not sure about it. but adding in the link and hopefully someone can guide on this https://www.wellshow.com/products/mini-coax-connector/ipex-connector/

Hi @angelsattic had you tried F12 key? If so and cannot load … maybe factory recovery partition or image is corrupted. What OS does it comes with? If it is Windows 7 and higher, I would suggest you to make a windows10 USB installer tool from microsoft website. https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10 you need to use another PC / or if windows are still able to boot, to create this. some tools @ F12 Menu I would recommend you to proceed is to do a full system check or diagnostic for any possible issues on your laptop, reason this is to check on your hard disk to ensure it is healthy.

Hi @mike51087 What I can suggest you is to verify your laptop model number and proceed to Asus website to manually download the BIOS, hopefully a reflash will help on this. https://www.asus.com/sg/Laptops/ROG-GL702VM/HelpDesk/

Hi From the photos, I can say it is integrated to the mainboard https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig... Notice the two antenna connected to the mainboard? white and black? (Top Right Side of the mainboard) If you remove the I/O Shield you will see the wireless chip. And it is meant not to be user replaceable

it will be a challenge, Im thinking about 3D printing and doing some adjustment. Maybe get a spoil controller to tear down to try it out. doing some soldering to bridge it over. or extend to right... some buttons sure has to be modified. Dun mind I ask, how much disabled is your friend on... im thinking if can modified to a foot pedal also on one of the button.

Hi @krlsbc can you try moving the cursor and do right click? does it stay the same place? Are you using laptop or desktop? if laptop there could be some touchpad settings you can see on control panel to tweak around on. Had you tried on the below solution yet? https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cursor-disappeared-in-windows-10/342eb3df-c60f-44c1-b038-f14bf5c15e19

IMO Apple USB Lighting Cables quality is So So / Moderate I had seen those either cables are frayed, or Lighting Pins being charred / blacked. Get better replacement with MFI certified cables, like this https://www.tronsmart.com/products/trons...-lac10-apple-mfi-4ft-3-in-1-cable https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-Apple-Lightning-Cable-Space/dp/B00P447EWE For repair alternatives At least it will hold longer, else for short term, you can consider doing heatshrink https://deciphertools.com/blog/repair-reinforce-apple-cables/

I think another way is to open it up and access to the NAND flash from there you can google the part no for the capacity https://pasha4ur.org.ua/articles/difdevi...-to-bypass-icloud-ipad-iphone-and-ipod/2

Hi @phonesandbones Im not sure what parts, It would be good if you can provide some good pictures, Some ways I think you can work with is to replace the whole part, which you can search by part number. It is also known as traverse mechanism https://www.google.com/search?q=traverse...-eBlsQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1440&bih=757

This is nostalgic, most will also remember the epic PS1 startup sound.

Not mentioned some people are very “creative”, doing mods breaking away those Sony Games protection at that time.

AFAIK, different sets apart from languages, some video output, e.g. NTSC, PAL.

Tips: Either use a multimeter or use a CR2032 battery to test the LED before soldering in :)))
