MacBook Air 13" Late 2020: Trackpad tap to click don't work on upper half

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 06:59:05 -0700

My MacBook Air M1 trackpad tap to click works only on lower half of the trackpad. The two fingers tap (right click) works everywhere on the trackpad. Force click works everywhere, the only issue is with tap to click with one finger on the top half of the trackpad. I tried updating the MacOs, changing settings of the trackpad multiple times (tap to click - on/off, force click etc.), restarting the system many times, testing in safe mode, deleting trackpad plist, but nothing works. I don't think its a trackpad problem because of two fingers tap that works, but I'm not sure.

Washer was working great until we moved, and now ever since then it makes that noise when it is in the agitates? We did not lay it on it's side, we used a dolly to move it to it's new location.

iMac M1 24": Horizontal lines over iMac 24 screen

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 06:34:42 -0700

Hi,

I got horizontal lines over the display! During the warranty period they replaced the board ( it blacked out ) and now this is happening. They refused to replace the device saying out of warranty and asked to replace it :-|. They were not even sure that changing the display will fix the issue. I am hesitant to replace the screen as I am better off to buy a new one rather keep repairing the faulty product.

Is there any way to fix it?

Tried
- Reinstall the OS
- External Display = Works fine
- Reseating those 3 cables

Lines kind of flickers, may be some lose cables?

Please help

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Right JoyCon buttons not working at all

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:55:01 -0700

I have the newer generation switch in grey if that’s important, and the right joycons buttons are not working at all. The joystick movement is still recognized by the console and the sync button on the joycon still works. Every other button has no effect at all. I have my controllers up to date, my system up to date. My left controller is completely fine. I also did have the issue a month ago where the joycon was pressing random buttons on its own, which i never fixed and so i left my switch and have come back to this problem. Please help me.

Nevermind, I left it for like 4 hours and it seems to be fine now. Not a fix but if nothing else works letting it be might work

1992-1995 Toyota Paseo: Can I replace rear 6 ohm speakers with 4 ohm?

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:34:49 -0700

I'm replacing the rear speakers in my car and the factory ones say 6 ohm. However its much easier to find 4 ohm. I'm looking at some cheap ones on amazon rated for 30rms, the original say 15w on the back so I assume that is the rms for the factory ones. Could this damage the radio (still going to be using the factory stereo) or should I be safe? I don't know anything about speakers.

Vizio Television: TV randomly turns on and off repeatedly

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:41:21 -0700

I have had my Vizio for a little over a year, a few months ago it started to lag when I changed the volume or channel with my cable remote. We have lost the remote to the tv so it can only be controlled by the cable remote, smartest app via the phone and another vizier remote we have for a TV in the kids room (just realized about a year ago the kids tv would turn off by itself but immediately turned back on).

After this issue the TV started to turn on and off by itself, not just a few times but it continuously does this ALL day, about once a day the TV will eventually turn on and stay on but I don’t hold my breath waiting for this to happen. When the TV turns on the Vizio symbol appears, disappears after about 5 seconds, the screen gots dark and then turns off, this is the ongoing cycle.

Can someone please help, it is out of warranty, we have tried changing all outlets, cords and unplugging and plugging it back in, Tried the method form when the TV is in RGB mode but no success.

Also, when the TV is in its cycle of on and off we cannot turn the TV on using any of the current devices.

Please help, football season is here and this is the one in the living room we use all the time.
