Whirlpool Washing Machine: F9E1 whirlpool washer won't drain FIXED

Sun, 03 May 2026 15:19:17 -0700

UPDATE: NO POLARITY. CONNECT THE WIRES HOWEVER YOU WANT. Wtw5100hw0 wouldn't drain, so I checked the hose for clogs. Checked the plug for continuity and nothing. I found a break in the wire so I fixed that. Check continuity and nothing, I cut the connector off and both wires have continuity. Now the problem is I can't find the connector I cut off. I have female spade connectors on the wires but have no idea which wire goes to what terminal on the pump.

ASUS TUF Dash F15: Display won't turn on, battery indicator flashes white.

Sun, 03 May 2026 13:42:36 -0700

Context:
I left my laptop on overnight, and it shut itself down from low battery by the time I woke up. Perfectly normal, I've done that multiple times. Laptop worked perfectly fine before this problem occured.
-------------------------
To my dismay, when I plugged the charger in and turned the laptop back on, I was greeted with a black screen, followed by the battery indicator light blinking white 3 times, in approx 5second intervals.
I thought it had been the battery not charging, but when I turned the laptop off, the battery indicator glowed orange, indicating that it was in fact charging like normal.

I've disconnected the battery by opening the laptop up, held the power button for 30 seconds, thinking the problem was static in the components, but that too did nothing.
I did notice a bit later however, that all the fans and internal components sounded like they were running.
Finally, I tried hooking the laptop up to an external display. As I suspected, it worked.
No signs of the original laptop display being detected, though. I was wondering if I could get the original laptop display working again.

I'd appreciate if anybody could diagnose the problem, and help me with a fix, if any. Cheers!

When i switches ON only monitor lights up . And no caps key lights. Switches on light also lights.

MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Early 2013: Converting 2013 MacBook Pro to USB trackpad / keyboard

Sun, 03 May 2026 12:25:36 -0700

TL;DR - I am attempting to convert a keyboard & trackpad from an early 2013 Macbook Pro retina (a1398) into a standalone usb keyboard & trackpad that can be used with any modern laptop. As someone with minimal soldering and electronics experience, I could use some guidance!

Steps I've taken so far:

Researched to see if this is even possible -- looks like the answer could be 'yes' based on some examples seen around the web
Tried to find someone I could hire to do this (no luck thus far... hence why I'm here)
Recently downloaded the a1398 schematics with the 820-3332-A board and fed it into some chatbots to potentially teach me how to do it myself (schematics link: https://f.ch1p.io/rjHAmTOU/820-3332-a.pd...)

Chatbot Summary of Instructions -> could use help determining if this would work

1. Isolation: Open up the case and remove the R5701 & R5702 resistors -> Ensures the MacBook's PCH doesn't interfere with whatever end computer I connect it with.

2. Data: Solder the Green (D+) and White (D-) wires of the USB cable to the connector side of those R5701 & R5702 resistor pads -> Corresponds to the 'USB_TPAD_P' and 'USB_TPAD_N' connections (Keyboard + trackpad data signals are combined via IPD cable)

3. Power: Solder the Red (5V) wire of the USB cable to the L5700 pad leading to the connector -> this small inductor/ferrite bead provides 5V to the PP5V_S4_TPAD rail via L5700, allowing the trackpad's circuitry to manage internal power needs

4. Ground: Solder the Black wire (GND) to the metal ears or shield of the J5800 connector -> ensures data signals are clean and will be recognized by an external computer

NOTE: In case you're wondering why I'm doing this...

- I have chronic myofascial pain in my upper extremities. This Macbook Pro model allowed me to go for long periods of time without pain. Having tried dozens of newer laptop models for Mac, Windows, and Chromebook, I have yet to find one with a keyboard/trackpad that performed as well for my pain as the MBP a1398. I could really use some help on how to do this myself.

Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G Disassembly: ACER Aspire Vn7-591G - where is the SSD?

Sun, 03 May 2026 11:39:12 -0700

My sister has an Acer VN7-591G laptop that won't boot (black screen, no output to HDMI)

She wants me to get the photos off her hard drive.

No problem I thought. I've popped out the HDD, but it is empty other than an old "iMovie Backup" directory.

Looking at the specs, it is supposed to be a dual HDD/SDD, so I assumed that the Windows installation and all her photos are on the SDD

However, there is no SSD in the machine! According to this guide:

https://www.myfixguide.com/manual/acer-a...

there should be an M.2 SSD on the bottom left of the motherboard. But that slot is EMPTY!!

How, if there is nothing but a few random files on the HDD was this machine ever booting? Is there somewhere else that Acer hide the SDD? I certainly can'y see anything...

It is so strange - it looks like it had an SSD (As the hard drive is empty), but its not there! What am I missing?!?

TIA
