Hi, Use a magnifying glass and a strong light to visually check the USB charge port to ensure that it is not damaged i.e. all the pins are there and that they are all straight and parallel with each other. Also ensure that there is no lint or debris in the port enclosure that is preventing a good electrical connection. If there is use a vacuum cleaner to try and suck it out. DO NOT use a pin or metal probe to try and get it out as you may damage the pins If necessary use a sharpened wooden toothpick to gently pry out any stubborn material. If the port enclosure seems OK check if the USB port is loose. Here’s a link to the ifixit Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Micro USB Port Replacement guide which shows how to access the port so that it can be checked. If it is loose or faulty ifixit sells the replacement part. Here’s the link Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (Wi-Fi) Charging Assembly There may be other suppliers that suit you better. Just search for Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 charging assembly to get results.

Hi @appleannie , What connection type are you using to connect the player to the TV, e.g. AV (yellow, red + white), Component Video (blue, red, green, red + white), SCART or S-Video? Here’s a link to the page in the user manual that shows the connection types Can you try another cable perhaps or another connection type to see if it is still the same? Have you checked the colour setting in the DVD player to see that it is not in the negative. Here’s a link to the page in the user manual, which shows how to get to the video menu settings which includes the colour setting

Hi, Did you check the user manual to see if there are any keyboard options at all? Check for a stuck key i.e. half operated position perhaps. With the computer turned off, press every key on the keyboard a couple of times each, to check that they move up and down without hesitation. After this turn on the computer and check if the problem is still there. If it is, since it is a relatively new keyboard and you say that there has been no spills or that anything else untoward has happened to it (no food crumbs by any chance?) then it should still be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Check the warranty provisions that came with the keyboard (maybe look in the user manual for them) to find out what to do to make a claim for a manufacturer’s warranty repair or replacement.

Hi @ping98 , You can add images as an “update” to your question (in your question click on Options > Edit and then use the procedure as per the link I posted). You cannot add images to a comment. I cannot read the screenshot for the Event Viewer as it is too small for me and when I try to enlarge it it is too fuzzy. Looking at the other images that you posted, you have the Lid Power option set to “sleep” if the lid is closed. This means that the laptop can be “woken up” by the press of the power button. Just wondering if you change this option to “shutdown” and with the battery removed check what happens after you have closed the lid, waited for the laptop to shutdown, opened the lid and then connected the charger and see what happens. It should wait until you press the Power button to start I think. Can perhaps understand why you don’t want a battery in as new batteries are not that cheap. Here’s the part number 0B110-00360100 (found from this link) if you change your mind. Not having a battery in the...

Hi @feroz8686, Have you tried different inputs, input types, cables, signal sources etc to see if you do get an image at all. Can you view the TV's menu screens at all? What have you tried? Here’s a link to the service manual for the TV which may help. Here’s an excerpt from the manual that shows how to perform a LCD Panel test to ascertain if the problem is in the panel or the A board.

Hi @iphonehater1 , If the HDD is making that kind of noise, I suggest that you backup all your data before the HDD fails completely and then replace it with a SSD If the HDD is just thrashing about looking for data that is is not good either so check if the drive has been defragmented lately. It should be an automatic process in Win10 but you never know. Open Windows Explorer, right click on C: drive entry > Properties > Tools > Optimize and defragment drives

Hi @sammyhagar , As a start, disconnect the power from the TV, remove the back cover from the TV and then disconnect the cable that runs between the power board and the mainboard. Reconnect and switch on the power to the TV and check if the TV backlights come on and stay on. Obviously there will be no picture as the mainboard is disconnected. If the backlights come on and stay on then there is a problem with the mainboard or the connection between the mainboard and the power board. if the backlights don’t come on or if they come on and then turn off and then turn on again or come on, turn off and then stay off then there is either a problem with the power board or the LED backlight strips, cable connections etc. If you have a DMM and know how to use it, you can measure the voltage being supplied to the backlights at the LED connector on the power board. It should be a very high DC voltage (possibly 200-300VDC) if the backlights are off as there is no current flowing through the LEDs. If the backlights are...

Hi @jandian , I would recommend that since it is only 7 months old that you follow the instructions in the manufacturer's warranty statement (usually found in the user manual) as to what to do to make a claim for a manufacturer's warranty repair, replacement or refund.

Hi @lornagrbin , If the speaker is no longer covered by the manufacturer’s warranty I suggest that you open the speaker and disconnect the battery and using a Voltmeter check if it is OK. It may that it can no longer handle the load when required. Even rechargeable batteries have a lifespan Here’s a link to the ifixit Logitech UE MegaBoom Battery Replacement guide which may help. ifixit sells batteries for the speaker (restrictions apply). Here’s a link Logitech UE MegaBoom Replacement Battery Alternatively replacement batteries are available online. Just search for Logitech UE Megaboom battery to get results for suppliers.

Hi @whiskee , According to the hardware maintenance manual for the laptop, it has a PCI-e mini card WLAN adapter. You should be able to install a dual band pcie mini card Wifi +BT adapter - example only. There are a lot of other suppliers with different brands etc Follow the pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove / replace the mini card The only caveat is that the manual mentions that some models may have 3 antennas and not just the two. If your model has 3 antennas it would be advisable to find a replacement dual band pci-e mini card that has 3 antenna connections. Multiple antennas i.e. more than one, are used to provide link stability by utilizing spacial diversity and because of the way the antennas may have been routed throughout the laptop using only two of the three available may cause problems such as drop outs etc. Smarter brains than mine have worked out why 3 would be needed instead of just two if this was the case with your model. ;-)

Hi @captainsnowball ,

FYI

voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”

The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation

Hi, As yet I haven't figured out how to amend the link to the User Guide for this radio. The one in the Repair Guide no longer exists, so here is one that still works
