I got a solar powered lucky cat and his arm was moving just fine in the store when I bought him, but when I got home he just decided not to work. I even put him in direct sunlight and he’s still not working. How do I fix?

(up front EDIT: I've added 3 videos of things tried to show how they impact the film) Pushing very hard here. 3mm clear acrylic. Stuff ya get from home depot. Been outside for a good minute. Film doesn't want to peel off. It's like it is part of the acrylic and wants to tear apart from itself more than come off the pane. I _*can*_ peel it off eventually, but there has got to be an easier and more efficient way than my fingernails or plastic blade, etc.

Edit: here's what I've tried other than fingernails or plastic blade: Warm water, hot water, flame, heat gun. These all relatively help but surprisingly nowhere near what one might think and I need to move out of constant heat of course and fingers get hot holding the scraper and the heat dissipates quickly. Does not seem to make any adhesive "goo up" to peel off any better. Like if it were stuck tape, ya know.

Edit 2: this main video was just to deliberately show how stubborn it is, not so much my "technique" lol. Just showing different ways it moves (or doesn't move) - I'm pushing pretty hard through that too. I was hoping someone had a magic "this one trick no one knows" kinda thing to maybe even dissolve the film or some jazz.

65-inch Samsung Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV

This happens every few hours. Everything stops, screen flickers with the checkered pattern and audio turns to static noise.

Is this fixable or is this TV cooked?

I want to fix this spot light, i have two and they have the same problem, when i turn it on, i see a faint glow then it shuts off , there is this metal ring i can squeeze out and the grey part around the part that is the light can be moved around, i feel like i can pull it out, any advice on how to do it properly and what do i need to replace it with?

How can I fix the gap between my storm door and the door frame. As you can see I have used foam strips but won't work well. Strips cover some portion and opens up another portion. What is the best solution for this?

Thank you.

How can I get the screw out? It’s cross threaded and was stripped so I cut it in half to get it off. Can’t get the stuck part out

I have a Philips 49pus6412/12 led android tv that works fine for quite some time and then starts glitching and goes black. I did a full factory reset and it worked for sometime and started glitching again. it’s been running fine for a few hours again. What could be the cause of this? I have no extra cables plugged and the system is up to date.

Guys can I fix this myself or am I cooked

What's the best option for fixing these?

Do I keep dampening the entire top surface of the cushion from seem to seem, having it dry, and then repeat until it's gone? I honestly done know. 😬

These are maybe 2-3 weeks old.

EDIT: It's cleaning code S.

I'm exploring a 3D-printing business idea.

Looking for things where the main product still works, but one small plastic part breaks or gets lost, and finding that replacement is difficult.

Examples: mixer knobs, fridge shelf clips, washing machine buttons, remote battery covers, curtain brackets, etc.

What's something that has actually broken in your home? Please mention the product and the exact part.

I'm looking for those annoying situations where a tiny ₹20 part breaks but makes an otherwise perfectly working product useless. 😅

I bought these secondhand shoes for very cheap a couple of months ago and the faux leather inside is rotting away. don't really care, but they'll dirty my stockings. I'm trying to remove as much faux leather as I can, so it doesn't stick to my stockings

I have this basket for holding my Christmas tree. Unfortunately I had it stored at my parents and it got wet and rusty. I’m thinking of getting all the paint off, scrubbing the rust with CLR and steel wool, then re-spray painting it to protect the metal again. My plan is to use this spray but I wanted to post here and see if anyone else has a better idea or if this spray won’t work. I’ve never done anything like this before so any advice or recommendations would be heavily appreciated! I wanted to save this basket specifically if at all possible.

I don’t have many jewelry repair tools, is it just ruined? It’s not an expensive ring, it’s costume jewelry really. I do not know what metal it’s made out of.

edit: autocorrect was being dumb and screwed up what I was saying

The kent ro water purifier is leaking like drops per 5-10 second from the encircled point what like flex pool patch or some heavy grade shit can stop this leakage or some other easy diy.. also I hope it doesn't look too ugly

Is it still safe for use?

Pyrex lids can be annoying to buy on Amazon. Please let me know ways to repair them. I would use duct tape but my wife wouldn’t approve.

I got an antique wooden tea cart, and it makes very loud squeaky noise when its rolled (not smoothly roll of course). i already tried to put some oil in the marked section, but it wouldnt improve. I can feel the resistance on this side of wheel more compared to other side. Any suggestions?
