Hardware Issue

Hey everyone! My mom recently dropped coffee all over a Galaxy Note 3 for T-Mobile (which I gave her). I know how to strip down the phone and what each part is. But im not great at identifying problems yet. So what happens is when the phone is unlocked it constantly is bringing up S-finder, from...

Hi all, Yesterday my moms computer froze on her and she did a hard restart. well when she turned the computer back on it wouldn't load up windows at all. she gave it to me to see what I could do. I tried running the windows repair launcher and figured it would fix itself, but it just froze up...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm quite desperate because of my laptop performance. I'm not a complete noob in it, yet I'm not that technical. I've bough this laptop almost 3 years ago, and in the past 6-8 months I've been having a DRASTIC drop in gaming performance. I'm posting my specs in...

Alright, so my issue is that there's a slight hiss and occasional crack when I'm listening to whatever. The hiss is only slight because I fiddled with the EQ until it wasn't as loud. I can still hear it, but it's not as much. My question is; Is this a hardware issue, or a software issue? And if...

I got this Samsung Q45, starting up sometimes, with flickering on high (native display) resolution. Most of the times the screen just stayed black, with beep error code that means "GPU failure". I've done a reflow of the GPU and MCU. Then it ran for a week, but the screen still was flickering a...

Over the weekend I had what I believed was a HDD failure on my laptop; an ASUS ROG G73J. On Sunday I went to swap out the HDD believing it had simply died; I opened the case and found that in fact the HDD (one of two) had simply become disconnected. I observed that the other drive would not have...

I'm not really sure how to describe this. While playing a game, or running FurMark, my laptop will quit charging for a minute, I get a huge FPS lag spike, and then it begins charging again. It will keep doing this most of the time. I have learned that giving it better ventilation helps...

Hello, I tried to remove my PATA HDD (fujitsu mhv2060ah) from my laptop and one of the pins broke off. According to this schematic: Pin number 44 broke off. I turned on my laptop and everything went fine, slow as usual. Was this pin important? Will it change anything. Thanks in advance.

I keep getting a message that says "VC System Tray has stopped working". Is this a hardware issue, possibly with a video card? Can I download a solution, or do I need to do a manual install? What is the impact of not addressing the problem? If not a serious issue (I can see no discernible...

Hello I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable both usb headphone and a regular 3.5mm jack haedphone work at the same time. Everytime I plug the headphone in I have to enable it in the sound control pannel. After that it would just cancel out the other headphone I have plugged in. Your help...

Hi I currently own an acer 5517 model laptop that crashed on my several months ago and I've just been too lazy to take it to a repair shop but hey I figure if I can fix it myself and its just a little minor bug, then it would save me money and time. It currently has an issue with wanting to boot...

I've had a Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 since this past summer which has worked fairly fine in most aspects. However, just recently (over the past several days) it has come into the habit of shutting off at random and instantly rebooting, as if I had just turned it on. This occurs both under Ubuntu Linux...
