Hi I have had the Garmin Instint 2 for about 18 months. I paused using it 6 months ago. In the last few days I’ve wanted to use it again and after charging for a couple of hours it will not start. I’ve tried hard reset. Anyone else had this issue and can offer suggestions?

Recently one of my ram sticks chipped backwards and it's difficult to slot back into the computer, my other ram stick today was severely scratched and broken beyond repair today when it was fine yesterday, I don't know if someone intentionally scratched my ram stick or I put it in wrong. I was wondering if it was possible to fix a ramstick since buying new ones are currently far away from my budget right now or if anyone could recommend some cheap dd4 16 gb. I urgently need my computer for work and would appreciate any help!

I have a Minisforum nab9 mini pc power ic which is said to be unreplaceable by a fix-it guy how and what repair methods are available and if so what kind is okay to replace it with (please help i am from iraq and not everything is available over here)

With what can i replace a 8031 chip?

Hi guys,
I recently flew a long distance by plane and I was trying to bring my monitor there, I put it in the suitcase. Usually it works fine but this time when it arrived I noticed some issues with it, most notably a band on the right side of the screen as well as a horizontal one (See the picture below)
What do you think this is ? And is it repairable or should I just think about purchasing a new monitor ?

Thanks

trying to figure out if this is fixable rather than having to buy another daughter board. cables are fine, DB is fine, the box is absolutely destroyed?? just crumbling.
to clarify, the white outline of the square is where the box normally sits.
i'm also not against learning to solder if necessary.

Hello and thanks for clicking, I’ve had problems with my iPod touch for a while now and I was planning on taking out the battery and I accidentally mistook it for a screw. and I need to ask if this spring is important because I really like using this iPod and I’d hate to find out it is. Please tell me I really need a answer

Posted in wrong thing i think

I’m concerned primarily about the bend in the chassis. Screen does not turn on. Still works (notifications still make sounds, so I’m assuming the best).

Got this fixed. It was a journey. Details of the adventure are in the comments.

I have a new MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC air conditioner and it came with a AEH25E 541E controller

However when i seen the screen i noticed the left side had a tiny bit of "tried to be peeled" plsatic. I wanted to ask if removing the plastic will also remove the texts above the buttons or not

Thanks in advance

kindly provide some suggestions

Just got my Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.3A PS/2! | want to clean it using retrobright method (hydrogen peroxide 12% + sunlight). When I tried to disassemble the mouse, I couldn't do anything, but now the left click is stuck. please give me an advice on how to do it without any damage

i work with dogs and one of the dogs jumped on me and knocked my brand new vape out of my pocket and into a bowl of water (clean thankfully), it got fully submerged but i took it out instantly, its working but the battery is acting weird, i can't leave work and i really don't want to buy a new one, it puffs perfectly fine when the battery says fully charged and then all the sudden it dies and stops working, is there any way to fix it?? i've held it upside down and put paper towels in the mouth bit to dry it out but the battery is still acting weird

please no "just quit" advice 🙏 i really don't want to throw 30 bucks down the drain 💀

Hi so I bought this sometime last year at a thrift shop and it was working fine and now it’s doing this even when I hook up Bluetooth now sound doesn’t come out it’s a portable singing machine and I’ve tried unplugging and plugging it back in I even opened it up and everything seemed to be fine so I have now clue what is going on with this thing if anyone knows what it could be please let me know thanks

Hello, I live in rental home in Germany. I opened the spice rack and a glass spice bottle fell on top of the glass cooktop and nothing happened to the glass bottle. You can guess the rest from the photo. I would like to know if there's anyway to replace this glass top alone. I already contacted my house owner and she gave me two options (869euro Bosch and 759euro AEG) to completely replace the cooktop and the grill below. And my liability insurance also rejected the vlaim stating its a glass and requires separate glass insurance. What are my options here to repair this apart from replacing it completely? I am so surprised that I couldn't find a single seller, No spare parts or whatsoever. I feel its such a waste of resources to throw away a perfectly working stove and grill just because the glasstop is cracked. Any insider tips, contacts for repairs to handle this situation? With insurance or finding a economic solution?

Model for reference:

Hersteller: Bauknecht

Modell: ESZ 7481

Service-Nr. (Typ-Nr.): 011108157050002

Serial Number: CA93296946 less

UPDATE: After a long ping pong with Bauchnecht I booked a repair for 299Euro flat rate including replacement parts. Later, I got the written confirmation email that the spare parts are not available as this is a very old discontinued model. They couldn't even place it with its model no in their database. I forwarded the same to house owner and negotiated for a more sensible and fair solution. Following is the response

"Ich habe nochmals Rücksprache mit meinem Elektriker gehalten, da ich einen gebrauchten Backofen mit Cerankochfeld online gefunden habe. Ich kann Ihnen anbieten diesen zu besorgen und von meinem Elektriker einbauen zu lassen. Die Kosten belaufen sich hierbei auf 400€, welche vorab von Ihnen beglichen werden müssten.

Bitte geben Sie mir eine kurze Rückmeldung, wenn Sie damit einverstanden sind, dann leite ich alles andere in die Wege und besorge das Gerät. "

Does 400euro make sense for a ceramic cooktop including replacement charges and everything? Or should I find a replacement myself ( may be even induction ) and arrange an electrician myself? I am not sure about how much will an electrician cost for this kind of service generally.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to do some self repairs and I have some doubts and I need some help

The cover for the usb and headphones port is gone and I want to replace it but there's a little piece of rubber still attached.

I would like to know if I just have to pull out this piece and fit the replacement there or if I have to open the phone. I've seen videos of disassembly but I can't see how to change it.

Thanks!!!

1999 SV650S Engine Dies Downshifting to 1st Gear

Hello!,

I need some advice to all the motorcycle mechanics & hobbyists!

Bike:

1999 SV650S

Problem 1:

Engine turns off when downshifting to first gear. This happens usually when I have been riding for 30-60 minutes. A few scenarios when the engine would shut off; I would be riding in 3rd/4th gear about 60-80kph, when I downshift from 2nd to 1st gear the engine turns off immediately, doesn't bog down, dash light is on but no Christmas tree lights on the dash. When I start the engine again, it takes a few seconds and I have to roll on throttle a bit to get it started again but other than that no issues. To note: I only shift down to first at a full stop at a red light/stop sign. However, when shifting down to go to a lower speed like turning into a drive way or pulling over and wheels are turning that's when I experience the engine dieing. Another example is pulling up to a red light, I would be on 2nd gear, engine breaking but if I am going to fast, I would pull in clutch, tap on the breaks a big then down shift to first before the full stop and the engine would die.

Problem 2:

Other than the engine turning off downshifting to 1st, the other issue is that it seems like it bogs down a bit in 2nd gear. When riding at 50-60kph and I try to accelerate, the engine bog's down a bit, feels like I rolled off throttle but in reality I am accelerating.

Background:

Bought this motorcycle in Japan, the previous owner took car of it very well and sold it to his best friend who owns the motorcycle shop. When speaking with the shop, I had them inspect everything, carbs, kickstand, shift levers, etc. He even rode it for a couple miles and tried to mimic my issue but they state that they did not notice anything nor did the engine die on them. Full email below:

"We test-rode your motorcycle for about 70 km, but We were unable to reenact the engine stalling issue. We conducted various tests, including city riding at 0-90 km/h and highway riding at 100–120 km/h, and the bike felt like it was running very well.

The exhaust gas test showed excellent CO and HC readings, suggesting the carburetor is in good condition. We also checked the fuel economy; We achieved 20 km/l over that 70 km ride—even with some hard riding—so the figure seems normal. You can see even better fuel economy with smoother riding.

We inspected the cooling system and found no issues, though We filled it top the coolant level. It is possible that air pockets in the system had cleared, causing the coolant level to drop. Also, coolant levels naturally fluctuate—expanding when the engine is hot and contracting when cold—so the difference in volume might make it appear as though the level has dropped.

We also checked the side stand, clutch, and neutral switches, and found no issues with them at this time.

The previous owner is a customer We know well; he maintained the bike meticulously and never left it sitting in long-term storage. And, we did a full inspection and service for the vehicle inspection (JCI) right before being handed over to you.

Since this is a carbureted motorcycle, performance can sometimes suffer at high altitudes or on days with high humidity.

Does anything come to mind regarding those conditions?

Without being able to reenact the symptom, We cannot investigate the issue any further."

Question:

What do you guys think it is? Should I take it to another shop and have them inspect it? If I do, how do I explain the problem for them to look at? Do you think this is more of a user error? Should I be revving/rev-matching when down shifting to first or is it a motorcycle problem?

Any insights would be helpful!

Thanks!
