I have this used Dell desktop I’m trying to use but it’s protected by a BIOS or HDD password. Is there any way I can reset...

I have a customer with some eTalk flip phone from verizon and it is currently having an issue where it automatically...

I think you mean "warranty". If you go into battery health in settings it'll tell you the maximum capacity. If it’s at or below 85% or says service, it’s probably due for another replacement. You can order kits to do it yourself here on ifixit. Or if you would like you can take it to a local shop and they’ll be more than capable of getting it done faster and in some cases cheaper. Try to avoid the big chains, especially batteries plus if you have any of those around you. They use cheap Rayovac batteries that tend to fail.

Are you sure you didn’t disable fast charging? Also try cleaning the port with a toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol. If you can give us the exact model number we may be of better assistance. While Samsung may have about 5 different model numbers per phone, they’ll share some of the same parts so you want to make sure that the parts you’re using are compatible.

Unless you linked it with a trusted computer or know the passcode, I’m afraid you’re out of luck.

Pretty sure it’s a curse word. lol In all seriousness it stands for microfarad if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah you’re gonna need to send that to someone who specializes in microsoldering to replace that connector.

If you’ve got an electrical burning smell I would unplug it. There’s a short or something is burned up inside and it requires service.

As a repair shop owner and tech, I recommend keeping it between 20-80% followed by a full discharge and recharge every month or so. Also take it off the charger as soon as it’s fully charged and avoid letting it sit on the charger over night. Unfortunately you can’t make the battery last for forever as it’s just the nature of lithium ion batteries used in phones. They only have a limited amount of charge cycles before they need to be replaced. The same reasoning applies to any rechargeable battery really.

If you’re after data I would recommend you send it to a specialist before you cause any more damage. By the sounds of it, you have a short somewhere and shorts can cause a lot of damage. I recommend iPad Rehab, Rossman Repair Group, or STS Telecom. All of which have youtube channels you can check out.

You can find back glass replacements on Mobile Sentrix if you’re DIY-ing this repair, I would recommend you let a professional handle it. Back glass repairs on iPhones is one of the most difficult repairs because of how Apple glued the glass to the frame and you can easily mess something up.

You should still get battery percentage and max capacity info after you change the battery with an iFixit kit. Just be very careful when disconnecting the battery. Sometimes people knock off battery gas gauge which results in constant restarting and battery percentage remaining at 1% no matter how long you charge it.
