The title (somehow) says it all. I replaced the joy-con stick because of Drift, and while I was at it replaced the shell...

Small story about the 6s in question. So, my mom drops her iPhone 6s in the toilet. That wasn’t the problem. She then...

My Mom was working a few years ago on her job when someone spilled coffee on her not-then-in-use MacBook Air. When she got...

I suspect the battery is kicking the bucket. After all, I can say for certain that a New 3DS XL will not show any battery indicators if there is no battery in the device. I would assume that Nintendo would use similar technology in their home consoles. If nothing else, try the charging stand. I use it and it works for me.

You can’t change a home button on a Touch ID device without loosing Touch ID. Be lucky you’ll still be able to use the home button, unlike the iPhones 7, 8 and SE 2.

Restart the device, I had issues with the exact same model of iPod syncing with my MacBook Pro and I found that restarting it a few times fixed the issue. It’s likely due to some timing issues on Apple’s part.

All a latch does is hold the connector in place. Provided that you can keep it in place in another way, you should be fine.

Unless you can microsolder, that motherboard is dead. You’d be better off with a motherboard replacement at this point.

A “block error" means the hard drive is dying.

Try pairing/connecting a controller to it. If it connects, it might be a video port issue. If not, it might be a logic board issue. I can’t help with either as I don’t own a PS3 of any sort, but this is speaking as a Wii U owner (where the HDMI port was notoriously prone to failing).

To my knowledge, most MacBooks won’t turn on without a battery, if it’s not removable without unscrewing the bottom case. I speak from experience with a Mid-2014 MacBook Air

(1) Something almost identical happened to my Mid-2012 Unibody MacBook Pro, and my iPhone 6s has a “moody” battery where sometimes the battery is at 80% capacity, sometimes it’s at 20%. The capacity might go back up. (2) I’d say that something is off there… If it works it works. (3) I get ~4 hours out of a new battery for the aforementioned MacBook Pro but I couldn’t tell you. (4) Not 100% sure but errors can occur.

Sometimes iPhones/iPads just do that. iDevices (outside of iPods) will not allow the charge meter to go up so it’s likely the actual battery charge is/was above what it actually was (I have an iPhone 6s that has the same thing, every now and then the reported battery level tanks and the charge gauge goes to like 16% or something but the battery was actually at like 70%)
