Answer to: Sync Issue and Buzzing Noise coming from controller 11/22/2018
For anyone with this issue, it turned out it was an incredibly good fake controller. Weight was nearly identical, everything looked legit but on disassembling it it was clearly a fake. If you have the same issue your controller serial number is also likely 11201371012310 - turns out lots have the same serial number.

Answer to: Radio code to unlock...just reads "new" on display see dealer 05/06/2017
Any Nissan dealership will be able to provide the unlock code for you, they'll need the serial number from the back of the radio (You'll need to take it out) to know which unlock code to give you. I would imagine there's a fee for this depending on where you live. Or you could try this site.

Answer to: My Logitech UE MegaBoom Speaker makes a strange noise 05/06/2017
Sounds like the speaker is defective. Logitech should replace it as it's defective if you are still in warranty. http://support.logitech.com/it_it/contac...
Answer to: My touch screen is unresponsive to touch 05/06/2017
It's likely the digitiser (Touch Screen portion of the screen) is damaged and needs replaced. To be honest as this is quite an inexpensive phone it's probably a better option to sell it for spares and buy a replacement. A replacement digitiser and the time to repair wouldn't really be worth it. But if you do want to repair it you would need to pick up a new LCD + Digitizer. They generally come as one piece. It's possible to buy the digitizer seperately but it requires specialist equipment to remove the old one from the screen you have and is a complicated repair.
