Hi @kipyegon , I’m assuming that you mean the ifixit AWEI BT Earbuds & Receiver Teardown? In the 3rd image of Step.6 in the guide the battery can be seen and it appears that it is soldered to the circuit board and that the battery is just sitting in place in the shell of the case. Here’s a close up image (click on image to enlarge for better viewing). Normally with LiPo batteries there is information printed on the battery which indicates the voltage (V) and the capacity (mAH) and also the dimensions of the battery which should help you to find a suitable replacement. The dimensions are usually a 6 digit number and the convention is that the first 2 digits indicate the depth (or height) of the battery in mm with a decimal point between the digits which is not shown, the next 2 digits are the width in mm and the last 2 digits are the length in mm e.g. a 301520 battery is 3.0mm H x 15mm W x 20mm L. (I don’t know the dimensions of the battery in the earbuds, this is just showing how to interpret the numbers)....

Hi @cjmitchell, Since the refrigerator temp is OK and the freezer is still below freezing but just not at what is showing I’m wondering if perhaps outside air is getting into the freezer compartment somehow, a faulty seal somewhere perhaps. Is there an ice or frost build up around the ice dispenser area by any chance? If so it may be a faulty dispenser ice chute door, part #62 freezer door parts diagram. The door flap can disconnect from the dispenser lever or the plastic tabs that hold it in place may break and this allows the outside air to get into the freezer compartment. You could also check the freezer door seals as well. Place a sheet of paper between the door and the door jamb and try to pull it out with the door closed. It will come out but not that easily and it certainly shouldn’t just fall out by itself. Try this at various places around the door, top, bottom and both sides.

Hi, The majority of guides that are found on ifixit are created by users, just like you. Perhaps you could create a guide whilst you are repairing your phone. Here’s the ifixit How to Create a Guide information page that will help you to do this. Here’s a video that shows how to replace the screen in your model phone which may also help in the meantime. Other users who may need to use your guide in the future will no doubt be thankful that you took the time to create the guide and posted it on ifixit.

Hi @silver3 , If there are no images to be seen then as a DIY repair all you can do is to check that the display flex cable is securely connected to the systemboard and if it is, to temporarily replace the display to determine whether the problem is in the display or the systemboard. Here’s a video that shows how to replace the screen in the tablet that may help. Replacement screens are available online. Just search for Archos 101 LCD screen to get results

Hi, Is the compressor running and is the evaporator unit (inside the freezer compartment behind a panel) getting icy cold? Are the condenser coils warm? Can you hear the evap fan running? You'll need to listen with near against the fridge as the fan will stop if a door is open.

Hi, Things to try to resolve the problem: a). Wipe the cache partition and check if this resolves the problem b). Try starting the tablet in safe mode and check if the problem still occurs or not. Being random makes it difficult so you may have to use it in this mode for a while to make sure that it doesn't occur. If it doesn’t happen at all when in safe mode, then a downloaded app is the cause of the problem. The trick is to find out which one is the culprit. You will need to uninstall each downloaded app, one by one and operate the tablet in normal mode between each uninstall. When the tablet works OK in normal mode then the last downloaded app that was uninstalled was the cause of the problem

Hi @laurak_2003 , The LCD screen is cracked (see image below) and needs to be replaced as it cannot be repaired. (click on image to enlarge for better viewing) Here’s a video showing the dis-assembly of the tablet. This will help you to replace the screen assembly. Replacements are available online. Just search for Samsung SM-T380 LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly to get results for suppliers of the part, that suit you best. If doing this yourself seems too daunting, contact a reputable, professional mobile phone repair service and ask for a quote. You will already know the cost of the replacement part.

Hi, Multi-meters when in Continuity mode or Resistance (Ohms) mode, should never be used to test powered circuits. The meter uses its own power supply to obtain the necessary measurements. Even if doing this doesn’t damage the meter, the measurement will be incorrect anyway due to the voltage being supplied by the circuit under test changing the parameters in the meter’s test circuit Given that the buzzer is continually sounding it appears that a component may have gone short circuit Without a schematic of the meter circuit it will be difficult to know where the problem is, unless you trace the tracks from the function switch when it is the Continuity mode position and start testing each component in the path. There is nothing obvious in the images that you posted I have found this when searching online for a schematic but you will have to do a fair amount of translating to use it. I also found this link which I wouldn’t recommend as not only do you have to register but you also have to supply a credit...

Hi @dreeves01 , What is the full model number of the microwave oven? There are 8 models beginning with 401.8505. Assuming that since you’re asking about a fuse that the microwave won’t start or even won’t show that it has power etc., is this correct? Looking at the parts list for a 401.85053010 no separate fuse is shown but it has 4 thermostats (part #4, 5, 41 & 87 - cabinet parts diagram) so maybe one of them is the problem. Be safety aware when working in a microwave oven. The HV capacitor in the oven can store >6000V DC for months even if the oven has been disconnected from the power supply for this length of time. This voltage can seriously injure you if you don’t know what you’re doing. The capacitor needs to be correctly discharged as soon as it can be accessed after the oven’s cover has been removed and before commencing any other work inside the oven

Hi, Your display is in portrait mode. To revert back to landscape mode click on the Windows Start button (left side of Taskbar) > Settings > System > Display > Display Orientation > Landscape > Keep changes. Alternatively to get to the same settings, right click on the desktop screen > Display Settings > display orientation > landscape > keep changes

The 3rd wire from a battery is usually connected to a thermistor attached to the battery which signals the temperature (resistance value changes with temp) to the battery management circuit in the motherboard.

Charging will be halted to if it got too hot before being fully charged, which may create problems e.g. a fire

If leaving the 3rd wire disconnected, the battery should not be left unsupervised whilst it is charging

The 3rd wire is usually connected to a thermistor attached to the battery which gives the battery management circuitry in the motherboard an indication of the temperature of the battery when it is being charged. The temperature (actually a resistance measurement that alters with the temperature) is used in conjunction with the voltage level, so that the battery is not being overcharged and getting too hot and creating potential problems if left charging unattended for long periods. The charging process is halted

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
