MacBook: Trackpad suddenly over is sensitive

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 15:55:57 -0700

Tried all the settings in System Preferences and combinations of them to no avail. Single clicks are interpreted as double clicks. Sometimes just touching it causes an action that should require a click. Positioning the cursor almost always selects an entire word (sometimes an entire line) requiring a forward or back arrow to get to where I want to go. Zapped PRAM. Can't find anything obvious in Library. I'd like to think it's the trackpad, itself, but it could be whatever processes the signals to/from the trackpad. Everything else works perfectly (or at least the same as it always has). I added no software immediately before problem started and don't even remember upgrading anything. Still running 10.4.11 as I have one program that will not run on 10.5+.

Nintendo Wii: How do I get a stuck disc out.

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 07:01:50 -0700

My wii will not turn on and it has a stuck disc inside it, how do i get it out.

First, lift open the GCN port and take off that piece of the faceplate. Unscrew the little black philips screws (i believe there are 9). that piece will come off . Under the wii there are white bumps that you can pry off as well certain stickers. check a guide to see where as I'm currently at school. these are slightly larger philips screws. there will be the same instance on the side of the wii that you can lay it on where you can use a spludger except these require a deep triwing screwdriver. Open these up and you will see extra triwings on the face plate of the wii. You can manually trip the sensor and eject the disc.

LG G2: bad screens display vertical lines with a white background

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 10:52:40 -0700

I had a G2 that it took 4 screens before finally getting one that worked. I am now replacing a screen on a different G2 and I am on the second screen.

I tested the phone by re-installing the broken screen and the broken screen works just as it did before removing it to be replaced.

The bad screens display vertical lines with a white background. Has anyone else had this problem with replacement G2 screens?

Thanks,

Bob

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4: Why is my tablet freezing up all the time?

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 02:23:35 -0700

My tablet will freeze randomly while I'm using it! I have turn off the display for a few seconds then push the home button and its okay for a few minutes before it freezes again. In a ten minute period, it'll freeze about 8-10 times. I have shut it off and then back on, and reset the tablet to factory settings. Neither of them fixed the problem.

Also, I won this tablet in a competition so I have no warranty. Please help!

JBL Flip 4: Flip 4's battery runs out quickly and other problems.

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:37:46 -0700

My Flip 4, only bought it for like half an year, is having a battery issue where it runs real quick. And when it charges, I find some problems like stopping the blink (which indicates it is being charged) stops at 4 point and never run to 5th unless I plug it in, again. And the sounds are getting distorted when the light hit red which indicates the battery has run short. I get it if the battery is efficiently using the juice by not using its full sound quality but when I turn up the volume at that moment, the battery runs out and the speaker shuts down. I bought it as my travel accessory and it doesn't quite help me with my purpose.
