Hi @andrewifix The headphone socket may be loose on the pcb or it may even be damaged. If it is damaged then it will have to be replaced as it cannot be repaired. Here’s a link to the ifixit Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9 Speaker Replacement guide. It is useful as it shows how to open the laptop so access the the headphone socket is possible. Fortunately the socket is mounted on a separate pcb and not on the motherboard. Here’s a link to just one supplier of the replacement part. It is shown only to give an idea of the cost of the part and what it looks like. There may be other suppliers online that might suit you better. Just search for Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-55G9 USB audio board to get results. If you wish to only replace the socket itself you may have to see if it has any identifying marks on it and then search on places such as here - select phone connectors 3.5mm 1/8 in jack (female) and see if they have the exact part. Good luck with that though ;-)

Hi @junjunman93 , Can you view the menu screens in the LCD display? If not, try shining a torch at an angle close to the screen to see if you can detect either an image or the menus. It will be very faint so try it in a darkened room to improve the chances of seeing anything if it is there. If you can detect an image (or even if you can’t), on the screen then there may be a problem either in the LCD display, LCD display flex cable connection to the motherboard or the motherboard. Try taking a picture and downloading it to a computer. I realize that you cannot see the image in the LCD screen. If the picture is OK then there may be a problem with the LCD screen, LCD flex cable connection or hopefully not the motherboard. Here’s a link to a video that shows how to replace the LCD screen in the camera. It is also useful so that you can check that the flex cable connections are seated properly on the motherboard. If required, replacement screens are available online. Just search for Nikon D300 LCD screen to get re...

Hi @wlafty , Have you ensured that the replacement batteries will physically fit into the headphones? Does the original battery have a string of numbers (most probably 6) printed on it by any chance? These numbers represent the dimensions of the battery. This is an example only: '405070' printed on battery near voltage and capacity information. These numbers can be deciphered as follows: 1. 40 = 4.0 mm depth or height 2. 50 = 50 mm width 3. 70 = 70 mm length. The convention with batteries is that the first 2 digits are ALWAYS the depth measurement of the battery in mm WITH a decimal point between the digits. (unless obviously it is an extremely large battery). The next sets of digits are always in mm but sometimes rather than in groups of 2 numbers may be 3 in the case of bigger batteries. Obviously a longer string of numbers) Hopefully this makes some sense. The idea being you can search for suitable replacement batteries by specifying the dimension (as printed on the battery) along with the voltage and capa...

Hi, Go to your mobile phone service provider’s website and search for how to set up voicemail on your phone. It should have information on what number (or code) that you have to dial to access your voicemail service. Each service provider has their own unique way of accessing the voicemail service that they provide to their customers.

Hi, Torque screwdrivers are used to prevent under tightening of the screw causing it to not hold correctly or over tightening of the screw which may damage the thread or head of the screw. Looking online torque screwdrivers are not cheap and are usually used by professional repairers as their frequent use justifies the cost of the screwdriver. If you are doing a one-off repair, it may be just as well to use the appropriate sized screwdriver and simply slug the screws up tight, without overtightening them or damaging the screwhead

Hi, Can you view the menu screens in the camera's LCD screen? If possible, try taking a picture (I realize that you cannot "see" what you are taking) and download it to a computer. If there is a good picture then there is a problem with the camera's LCD screen. If there is a just a black picture then there is a problem with either the camera's image sensor or the motherboard or both.

Hi @kgashun , Just search online for a HDMI cable for a Samsung Galaxy Camera 21x. Here is an example of just one supplier. There are other suppliers that may suit you better.

Hi @breach , Was there a storm occurring when the TV powered off? If the TV is connected to a power board, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet and check if it now works Have you checked that the fuse on the TV’s power board is OK? If the fuse is OK then you need to check that the various voltage outputs being supplied by the power board are OK. If you don't have a suitable DMM (digital multimeter) and if you don't know how to use one, as there are potentially lethal voltages on the power board when the power is connected to the TV, even in the standby state, I suggest that you contact a reputable, professional TV repair service and ask for a quote to repair the TV.

Hi @steveont2018 , I was talking about the evaporator unit (not the evap tray for the defrost melt water sorry if I misled you) located inside the freezer compartment behind a panel. The one you mentioned "Accessed the cooling coils from inside the freezer, taking off the interior panel. The coils are not cold or cool - room temperature." It should get icy cold and the evaporator fan draws air across it to cool down the freezer and the fridge. This is the drier. It is located near the compressor. You'll need the right gear to test the sealed system, the kind that fridge technicians carry, as you might need to "break' into the sealed system without losing any refrigerant to test the pressure (unless your system has service valves in the line to test the pressure) and to replace the drier IF that's the problem, you need to evacuate the refrigerant, replace the drier, create a vacuum in the sealed system and then replace the refrigerant and then test it etc. One for the experts I think. Here's a video that shows...

Hi @steveont2018 If the compressor is running and the evaporator is not getting icy cold to the touch then there is a problem with the "sealed system", i.e. compressor, a lack of refrigerant or perhaps a faulty or clogged dryer. Is there any "oil" around the compressor area which may indicate a leak? You may have to get the sealed system pressure tested to find out what the problem is.

Hi @captainsnowball ,

FYI

voilà French exclamation - meaning “There it is!” or “There you are!”

The “red thing” in Step 3 is most probably an IR filter, to filter out visible light to improve IR operation

Hi, As yet I haven't figured out how to amend the link to the User Guide for this radio. The one in the Repair Guide no longer exists, so here is one that still works
