Hi @akeyes , When the screen is black, is there still are display visible if you shine a torch at an angle close to the screen? I’m not quite sure from your question if there is or not. If there is then there is a screen backlight problem. Cold contracts, heat expands. if the screen backlight fails in the cold in may be a backlight power supply problem on the motherboard, (faulty soldered connection perhaps), a display flex cable connection problem at the motherboard end or in the screen itself Here’s a link to the ifixit Samsung Galaxy S7 Screen Replacement guide, which may be of some help in checking the motherboard and flex cable motherboard connection for any obvious problems. As a DIY repair you may have to install a new display to determine where the problem is, either in the display or back in the motherboard.

Hi, You cannot easily disable it as it is an inbuilt safety feature in the transmission. Are you parking on a slope when this occurs? If so, when parking on a slope, apply the parking brake (emergency brake, hand brake) firmly, then take your foot off the brake pedal and check that the car does not roll. If it holds steady then shift into Park. This way, as the parking brake is holding the vehicle, there is no pressure being applied to the Park pawl and gear and it should easily move out of Park when you go to leave. If not, there may be problems with the transmission.

Hi @snufflekin , Is it that the hinges are broken or that the posts the the hinges screw into in the palmrest assembly have broken? If it is the posts, then you need to replace the palmrest assembly. Here’s a link to the service manual for your laptop, taken from this webpage. Scroll to p.43 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the palmrest assembly. Replacements are available online, just search for Dell Inspiron 5577 palmrest assembly or Vf544 0VF544 (part number - see bottom of assembly to confirm) to find suppliers

Hi, Did you try adjusting the display’s “dim setting”, you didn’t say? I have found two user manuals online for a Bose Wave radio but neither state the actual model number so here are the two “options” on how to adjust the display lighting. (click on image to enlarge for better viewing) If this doesn’t resolve the problem, here’s a link to the ifixit Bose Wave Radio AWR1-1W Screen Replacement guide, which may be of some help to check the connections to the display module and its’ associated components.

Hi @glenbub , What type of noise is it making? Have you tried de-scaling the coffee maker to see if this reduces the noise. Here’s a link to the user guide which shows how to do this. (scroll down to “Descaling your Brewer”) If this doesn’t solve the problem or is unrelated to the noise, as it is still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, make another claim for a warranty repair or replacement.

Hi, Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the battery in your watch. Unfortunately I cannot find a replacement battery online, but if you search online using the model number printed on the battery in your watch (can’t see it too well in the video) you may find suppliers.

Hi @beferrr , How old are the earphones? If they have performed like this since new, there is a 1 year manufacturer's warranty on them. If they are less than 1 year old, following the directions in the warranty statement (or search online) for what to do to make a claim for a manufacturer’s warranty repair or replacement.

Hi @gachaz , Try the following: Download and install an anti virus app- example only Download and install an anti malware app -example only When you have installed both the apps, re-start the phone in safe mode and then locate the AV app in the apps list and run it. Follow the prompts if it finds any viruses. Once the AV app has finished, find and run the anti malware app and do the same. Hopefully between the both of them they will clear your system back to good health. To go into "safe" mode, with the phone On, long press the power button and when the "power off" option shows, long press the power off until it says restart in safe mode.

Hi @mamf , Here’s a link that shows how to replace the date and time battery in your camera. It is a CR1616 lithium coin cell battery - example only Hopefully it is only a battery problem and that the water has not caused more problems such as corrosion of the electronic components in the camera. (Check the date and time battery terminals in the camera to see if they are OK, i.e. bright and shiny and not showing signs of corrosion) If replacing the date and time battery does not fix the problem, the camera may have to be opened and inspected to see if there are any other problems. Here’s a link that explains in general what needs to be done. Electronics Water Damage

Hi @netdudeuk , Here’s a link to the service manual for your laptop, taken from this webpage. Scroll to p.41 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/ replace the HDD. Looking at the service manual on p.49 shows that there may already be a M.2 Sata 3 SSD installed as well or if not then there may be a slot where one can be installed. Just a thought.

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
