Nintendo Switch: Stripped middle screw on Nintendo Switch shield plate - No extractors or power tools

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:27:53 -0700

I am following the Nintendo Switch Battery Replacement guide and have encountered a stripped screw on the shield plate (specifically the middle screw). I do not have a screw extractor set and I am not comfortable using a rotary/cutting tool on the device. I have already tried the rubber band method and using different sizes of screwdrivers without success. Does the community have any non-destructive "household" tips for removing a small, stubborn stripped JIS screw in this specific location?

MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010: MacBook Pro Mid 2010 A1286 won't run on battery (0 Amps) after bulging battery replacement

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:22:32 -0700

I am troubleshooting a MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010 (A1286) running OS X 10.13.6. I recently installed a new iFixit A1321 battery because the original battery was bulging and labeled "Replace Now."

The issue:

1. With the new battery, the MagSafe light stays green. System Information sees the battery at 33% (2308mAh) but shows 0 Amperage and "Not Charging."

2. If I unplug the MagSafe, the laptop immediately shuts off.

3. I reinstalled the old (bulging) battery to test. It shows 100% (4322mAh) and "Fully Charged," but the laptop still shuts off immediately if the power cord is disconnected.

4. CRITICAL FINDING: The battery indicator button (on the left side) ONLY works when the MagSafe is plugged in. When plugged in, it shows 3 LEDs (consistent with 33%). When unplugged, the indicator button does nothing.

5. I have already:

- Reset the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM multiple times.

- Verified I am using an 85W MagSafe adapter.

- Reseated the battery connector and inspected the logic board pins.

- Ran Disk Utility First Aid.

Is it possible the original bulging battery blew a current-sensing resistor or a MOSFET on the logic board? What specific components should I test with a multimeter to diagnose why the battery rail is not being energized?

The headset won’t turn on unless I connect them to a power source. Once they are on they do stay on until turned off. I’ve tried holding the button on for various lengths of time without success.

Black and Decker BDEDMT: Replacement for discontinued trigger switch 90584431 (BDCDMT120)

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 00:32:56 -0700

I am looking for a replacement trigger switch for my Black & Decker BDCDMT120 20V Matrix cordless drill. I have identified the part number as 90584431, but it appears to be discontinued or no longer available (NLA) through most major parts distributors.

Does anyone know of a compatible alternative trigger switch or a substitution part number that works for this specific model? Are there generic 20V variable speed switches that are known to fit the housing and handle the current?

I am comfortable with soldering if needed, but I want to make sure the replacement will physically fit and function correctly with the Matrix system. Any advice or sources would be greatly appreciated!

Hotpoint Refrigerator: Have yet to find any board

Have yet to find any board

GE Fridge Hotpoint

Mod # PDS18SBMLBS

Freezer below fridge

There is no panel on the back to access a board. There is only a cardboard cover at the bottom back to see compressor and fan. I have removed the control panel top, back, inside of fridge and there is no board there. I have looked at the skimatic in the literature that came with the fridge and there is no mention of a control board. Did not see my model in your list of GE refrigerators. I have replaced thermostat in freezer and fridge, replaced defrost fan in freezer. Replaced timer behind temp controller in fridge.

Have I missed anything? Except control board that I can’t find? Help!

Macbook Air M2 2022: Why is my keyboard not working but my trackpad works just fine?

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 23:54:44 -0700

For a while now Ive had issues with my keyboard becoming unresponsive randomly, even sometimes it works for seconds and the caps key will light up green as i press it. After seconds then it'll stop working, it went a while working after I reset the software and reset the computer completely, but then when the laptop died and I went to charge it... the keyboard stopped working again, the backlight still illuminates and the trackpad works fine. I'm not sure if a whole new keyboard needs to be installed or whether it could be someone as small as the flex cable. Please help.

Google Pixel 6a: Pixel 6a - Screen separated from bezel during repair

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 21:19:15 -0700

I am in the process of replacing the battery in my Google Pixel 6a. When opening the device, the screen has (mostly, it's still attached at the bottom) separated from the plastic bezel (see picture). The screen still works perfectly fine, but I don't know where to find an appropriate adhesive to reattach the screen to the bezel. I'd rather not have to spend the money on a new screen.

Context:
The repair guide seems to assume that they won't come apart. It specifically says to not pry between the screen and the bezel, which I did not do. It came apart on its own. (As the user of the phone being repaired, I could tell that the adhesive was on the way out before I started the repair.) It did not come apart due to a swelling battery, the battery I removed from the phone shows no signs of swelling. (The reason I replaced it is due to poor battery life and a battery health warning in settings.) I bought this phone 2nd hand, so I don't really know the history of it and what might have caused this adhesive to fail.

The main thing I'm asking for is advice on what kind of adhesive to buy (or even pre-cut adhesive if possible) to re-attach the screen to the bezel. (I am not asking about the adhesive to attach the bezel to the frame, commonly called the "display adhesive" and included in the repair kit)
