Nintendo DSi: DSI flashing light, turns off when attempted to turn on

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 07:24:18 -0700

So I recently bought a new touchscreen and shoulder Button cable for my DSI and I didn't get to test them cause it wouldnt turn on. I figured I put the battery in backwards and I checked the fuses and the fuse on the button board seemed to be dead. So I ordered a replacement that just came. I installed it, the fuse looked good, and it still did the same thing. I have two batteries and they don't seem dead as the multimeter says one has ~3.8v and one has ~4.1 volts. I put it in a bunch for both, tried many things, took out and reattached screen and camera cords, and nothing seems to work. I need help with this please!!!

Nikon D3500: Why is my camera taking black pictures?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:48:49 -0700

I got my camera (a D3500) about a year and a half ago. It has worked fine up until this point but it has suddenly started taking completely black pictures, even though I can still see perfectly through the viewfinder. The first photo attached is what all photos I try to take look like. The second photo is what the screen looks like when I switch to live view. I was just wondering if you would have any idea what is wrong with it and how it could be fixed, if possible because I have no idea. Thank you!

Samsung Printer C410W: Ghost imagen when printing

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:42:05 -0700

Hi there,

Some time ago, I bought a Samsung Xpress C480W printer. I haven't used it much. I've printed about 2,000 times with it.

I haven't used it much. I've printed about 2,000 times with it.

After not using it for a while, when I tried to print, a ghost image appeared at the bottom of the page.

I measured the distance between the ghost image and the original image, and it doesn't match any distance indicated in the manual (19.4 cm).

I replaced the transfer roller and the fuser, but the problem persists.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Thank you.

SONY WH-CH700N bluetooth headphones: nothing happens when I connect the charger

I found this pair of headphones at a flea market. I opened them and found this improvisation on the power jack. Can you tell me if it was done correctly? I also replaced the battery because it was no longer good and the headphones work but when I try to connect them to charge nothing happens.

I don't want to spend money on an upgrade or swap out for another phone, but my storage recently is always full and im constantly deleting and uninstalling thing's. Who want's to do that? Nobody.

If there is anyway that the ssd can be upgraded or if a memory Sim card can be installed so I can keep my phone and stop deleting/uninstalling, please please answer. I don't want to give my phone carrier more money on a different phone.

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Ipad Pro not charging or recognized

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:44:37 -0700

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with my iPad Pro 3rd gen, model A2377. It suddenly stopped charging. I've already replaced both the battery and the charging port, but the issue persists.

It seems to charge very slowly when in DFU mode, but it's not recognized by my computer. I'm really stuck and could use some help.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on what I should try next? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2011: How do I clean mbp after coffee spill?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:43:58 -0700

Spilled coffee with sugar and milk on the right side of the keyboard on my macbook pro. Immediately set aside the computer and dried most of liquid off, then turned the machine off and more intensively dried with a cloth. Turned it back on (which I now realize wasn't the wisest move, and I'm very lucky nothing got fried) and everything worked, so I put it to sleep and left it while I went to work.

After work (about 5 hours later) I found the keyboard keys weren't working right (no response to occasional response from enter, spacebar and delete keys, and one of the directional keys seemed to be constantly active - computer making bumping sound like incorrect key pressed), so I powered the laptop off and opened up the back to see if there was any liquid inside. The machine was bone dry inside, dust undisturbed with the only oddity being a slight coffee smell coming from the optical drive corner (drive was a little hesitant to release disk inside - took 2 tries to eject disk), but no smell anywhere else. Left the computer upside down for about a day to dry out some more (powered off) and popped off and cleaned the keys that weren't working with a damp cloth (water - dried thoroughly before popping back in place).

Powered the laptop on the next day and everything works except the keyboard. No response at all from any key, and the backlight only appears to be working in the very center of the board. However the computer does not sound as if it's working too hard, no overpowered fan noise, just operating normally. Currently is powered off and upside down with a small cooling fan on the keys.

Tried further drying by setting rice over the keys for a few hours, which was a mistake. Took a few hours to get the rice out that had seeped to the internals of the machine. I think there is still a rice piece stuck under the optical drive, but don't have the correct tools to pry it out yet.

Recently ordered a torc screwdriver to see if I can clean off the drive with some isopropanol, but not sure if I should replace the keyboard or not. Is there a way to fix it without replacing the whole thing? Would cleaning it with isopropanol as well help it? Should I try to clean everything since rice did get inside the machine?

iPad Pro 11" 3rd Gen: Charging detected but very slow + distorted speakers + one-sided audio

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:38:16 -0700

I recently worked on an iPad Pro 11" 3rd generation and replaced several parts:

Chassis (housing)
Display
All 4 speakers
USB-C charging port

After reassembly, I’m now facing multiple issues:

Charging is detected but extremely slow (battery percentage barely increases)
All speakers are heavily distorted (on all corners)
USB-C audio only works on one side (only one earbud)

The USB-C port is brand new and properly installed.

I double-checked all connections and flex cables, nothing seems out of place.

Has anyone already encountered this kind of issue after a repair like this?

What could be causing it?

I was thinking about something related to power management (PMIC / charging IC or maybe a damaged power line), but I’d like to hear if others have seen similar symptoms.
