Chevrolet: Need to turn off passlock

Sat, 22 Nov 2025 14:36:28 -0700

Hi, all. The passlock feature on my truck engages occasionally without cause, making me sit and wait out the 10-minute delay. This is always inconvenient and has the potential for being a safety hazard. Does anyone have an idea for how I can permanently disable this feature?

PlayStation 3 Slim: Why does Playstation 3 slim shut down seconds after start up.?

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:18:02 -0700

Ok. Plugging the cord into the wall brings up the red stand-by light. Pressing the power button you can hear the fan start up for a moment, then about 5 seconds later it shuts down. Red stand-by light disappears. Must unplug, then plug cord back into outlet for red light to reappear. I have bought a Power Supply Unit but that did not fix it. I do believe it was a different model then the one that was in it if that matters. Is it the power cord? The Power Supply? The Power Ribbon? Please help so desperate :(

My sister bought me a dopo 7" kitkat tablet with no volume buttons almost 2 years ago and my brother borrowed it but to give it back to me, he reset it but put my password back for me but it seems he put the wrong one as it won't let me in. I had him try to get it back unlocked but it wouldn't work. So now I'm stuck with a locked up tablet.

HTC One Mini: Front glass broken, do I need Glass, LCD or Digitizer?

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:27:11 -0700

HTC One Mini dropped onto stone floor, front glass is cracked.

Touch functionality still works and the image seems fine behind the broken glass parts.

Now I've asked some online stores in my country about parts, and they said that I would need to replace the whole front (LCD+Digitizer+Front Frame) and offers me a package deal. To me this seems like more than I would need?

I figured it's only the front glass which is broken and needs to be replaced?

So how can I be sure of exactly what parts needs to be replaced? What parts would I need considering that the touch and image is seemingly fine?

iPhone 4: Why does my sound not work anymore?

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 09:02:44 -0700

Hi all,

The problem I'm having with my iPhone is that I'm not able to listen to music anymore. My phone does play sounds, but only when it is docked or when my earphones are plugged in.

It does NOT work without earphones, and the volume slider does not show up when playing music.

However, it DOES make sounds when my alarm goes off or when I'm getting called. Ringtones work fine too.

Anyone know what could be the issue?

Thanks.

ZTE ZMax: Why did the home button and bottom of screen stop working?

Fri, 09 Aug 2024 19:14:34 -0700

A few weeks ago the three buttons (home, back, menu) stopped working out of nowhere. Literally my phone died and when I turned it back on after charging, the buttons no longer worked. I was able to download an app so that I didn't have to worry about it. Now the bottom portion of my screen no longer works. I believe the screen is dying from the bottom up and I don't know why. Please help.

MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260: MacBookPro does not power up on AC power or battery.

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 23:42:42 -0700

I've noticed a number of "My Macbook Pro won't turn on" posts here, but my symptoms seem to be different (read: worse) than the other posts that I've read, such as this MacBook Pro no startup sound, and not able to start.

Here's what's going on:

I have an A1226 15" MacBook Pro (mid 2007) with serial number: W872218YX92. I can't get it to turn on; whether it's plugged into the AC adapter or on a battery, I get no visible or audible response from the machine when I push the power button--none of the lights turn on, none of the fans spin, etc.

I've read about the nVIDIA 8600GT issue, but I don't get any response from the machine at all, so I'm not sure if that's what the problem is. The other thing I've read could be at fault is the 'Left I/O' board', but this thing won't turn on when using AC or a battery. One thing I haven't tried yet is to open it up and check the top cover power switch; is the power switch something that frequently breaks?

Lastly, when the MagSafe adapter is plugged into the machine, the LED on it always glows green--whether or not the battery is plugged in. When the battery is plugged in, the 'charging' LEDs on it do not light up or blink and thus the battery does not charge.
