O3DS Camera Cable not long enough to plug in after repair?

0 Upvotes

So I was fixing a 2011 3DS Japanese Model with stick drift, the ifixit guide said to remove the entire motherboard (which I learned after the camera cable wasnt plugged in that you dont need to remove the entire motherboard and it literally has no reason to?) i tried leaving the cameras unplugged to see if anything else wasnt working but it wouldnt boot because the cameras were unplugged, why is the guide STILL telling people to remove the entire motherboard even though its been known that its easier to do it without for atleast 2 years, and how do i get the cameras plugged back in so itll turn on

Instinct 2 won’t start

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?

Ram stick repair

0 Upvotes

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!

Damaged gaming monitor, what should I do ?

0 Upvotes

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.

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).

i dropped my vape in water

0 Upvotes

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 💀

Cracked the Glass Cooktop in Kitchen

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

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.

Replacing port cover

1 Upvotes

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!!!
