回答“How to switch hard drive on different fat models?” 2019年06月02日
I’m speaking from some pretty rusty experience, but I believe that different PS3 fat models use the same types of hard drives (2.5” SATA) but in different orientations. Some versions of the console have the drive slide in with the connectors facing the direction of insertion, while others have the drive slide in with the connector on the side. For the later, you have to slide the drive in, then over to get it to engage. The drive is supposed to mount in a caddy, which slides into the system. If the caddy is missing (which I’m guessing yours is), it’s difficult but not impossible to get a drive into one of the sideways-mounted systems. I’ve used some folded up paper to hold the drive in place once I’ve finessed it into the connector.
回答“Need to reset SMC before every boot” 2019年06月02日
Once the mini boots up, is the clock correct? If not, you might need a new PRAM battery. Check out this guide to replace it. Also, what happens when you disconnect the hard drive ribbon cables from the logic board and power the computer up? It’s possible (but unlikely) that if a cable is faulty, weird boot issues like this could show up.
回答“Controller battery won't charge” 2018年02月19日
I've seen this happening with a Phantom 3 standard before. For me, it wasn't the battery or the cable, but the actual USB connector on the controller. It seemed like they didn't do a great job in the factory soldering the USB connector to the printed circuit board that it sits on. Once you've ruled out that your issue isn't a bad USB cable/charger, you may want to consider this. If you look at this picture, you'll see that the USB port is attached to a little circuit board that is wired to the rest of the controller. I was able to repair the connection between the USB connector and that board with a fine-tip soldering iron, if you're handy with a soldering iron you may want to try the same. If you aren't experienced with a soldeirng iron, I was able to find a replacement part on eBay (but nowhere else so order soon!). Good luck!
回答“Can you paint head spreader on corsair vengence led ram?” 2017年02月19日
You can paint the heat spreader, but there are a few things you'll need to take into consideration. First, a coat of paint will probably make them less effective at removing heat from the memory sticks. Second, you should be extra careful to avoid getting any paint on the electronics or the connector. Ideally you should remove the heat spreader before painting it. If you can't remove the heat spreader from the memory to paint it, then you should cover any exposed circuit board before painting. Some paints are conductive, and that can wreck havoc on electronics. You also need to be careful not to get paint on the electrical contacts where the RAM is inserted to the motherboard. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend painting the sticks because aside from appearance you risk damaging the memory at worst and degrading it's thermal performance at best. That being said, it's definitely possible to do.
回答“Where can I find headlights” 2016年08月18日
Are you looking for the actual headlamp assembly or bulbs? The bulbs should be available at any auto parts store, but the actual headlamp assembly seems to be more tricky. The GM part numbers are GM2502316 (driver side) and GM2503316 (passenger side), but I can't seem to find them in stock at reputable parts sites. I usually shop at RockAuto for stuff like this, and I'd be willing to bet that they'll restock eventually. There do appear to be a couple listings on eBay if you'd like to go that route. One thing to note is that all of the parts I've seen online are very pricy. Even though the XLR isn't a very common car, it may be a good idea to call up some of the local junkyards and see if they happen to have one of those cars that you can take the headlight assembly from. I've found that to be a great way to save money on otherwise expensive or hard-to-find parts.
回答“Broken some pins on the logic board” 2016年06月05日
If they're just bent (I can't tell for sure because the picture is a bit blurry) I would recommend using something like a small flathead screwdriver and gently attempting to straighten them. If you get it close enough, the cable should mate to the connector without much issue. Those look like they're just contacts and not pins so they don't need to be perfectly straight. According to what I've read those pins are for display power so they're pretty important.
回答“How do I replace a Fan Relay” 2016年06月05日
The radiator fan relay is located within the engine compartment fuse box. This is under the hood on the driver's side. I'm not sure which year car you have so I can't tell you for sure, but in your owner's manual (and possibly on the fuse box itself) you should be able to figure out what relay corresponds to your radiator fan. You should be able to find a suitable replacement at any auto parts store or website.
回答“Fuel pump reset button” 2016年06月05日
Check in the engine compartment fuse box, it should be near the battery under the hood. The cover should be pretty easy to remove. The fuel pump should be connected through a fuse in slot 48. If that fuse looks good, then you may want to check the fuel pump relay (also inside the engine compartment fuse box). The fuel pump relay is #18 in the fuse box. Start with the car off, and have somebody else put the key in the cars ignition and attempt to start the car while you listen to the relay. If you can hear this relay make a "clicking" noise as the car attempts to start, then it is working properly. If this doesn't solve the problem, make sure that the engine is actually turning when you attempt to start it. If you can hear the starter motor turning but the engine isn't turning (look at the belt) then the starter may not be engaging (in your car I believe this means that you must replace the whole starter). You can remove and test your starter to confirm whether or not the solenoid is engaging the starter....
回答“MacBook Pro TrackPad Scrolling Problem (click are ok but not scroll)” 2016年06月05日
You said click works, but can you also move the mouse pointer around with one finger? If so, test to see if other multitouch gestures work. If any of them work you can rule out the possibility of a hardware problem. There could also be an issue with Mac OS X settings that is causing multitouch not to work properly. If you have OS X install media (or the ability to create a bootable USB drive), boot the computer off of that and see if the gestures work in the OS X installer.
回答“How do I replace the fuse on my Behringer Eurolive B112d?” 2016年06月05日
I can't tell for sure, but after looking at pictures of the back of the unit, it looks like the fuse may be inside of the power jack. If the jack looks like this up-close, you may be able to pop off a small cover to change it.

iPad FCC Teardown 2010年04月10日

来自 Tom 的话:

Yup, you're right. Didn't cross-check everything. Still wonder why the FCC version gets that chip and connector populated if they didn't put a cam on theirs. It could be just a debug port for non-production versions.

When they originally flash the firmware to the device, they have to put it in somewhere :)

Apple A4 Teardown 2010年04月09日

来自 Edis0n 的话:

Except for the WiFi chip, all others are from 2007 (or before), so Apple had this going on for some time.

Probably not, these chips were most likelly used in older iPods, and provide legacy support (Since AAC Encoding hasn't changed much i the past 5-7 years) and the touch drivers were most likelly for the older iPods and iPhones, with slightly different instructions.

PlayStation 3 Slim Teardown 2010年04月04日

来自 Threedays 的话:

No modchip now success. this machine will be a flop unless someone finds a means to mod it.

There really isn't much modding that can be done, it supports ripping games to the hard drive, it can browse the internet, the only reason I can see to mod it, would be to restore playability for PS2/PS1 games.
