Beats Studio Wireless: My Beats Studio wireless won't charge

Wed, 06 May 2026 15:27:31 -0700

My Beats Studio wireless won't charge I have tried resetting them connected to power and not connected to power I've tried 3 different cords none of which have work I have done a bunch of research trying to figure out how to fix it. I can't use my adapter cord because that doesn't work and it never has worked but since I had Bluetooth I never really need it to use it. I am very disappointed about my Beats Studio wireless not working anymore because I've only had them since Christmas 2016.

RIP Kylie's Beats Studio Wireless

Logitech UE MegaBoom: UE Megaboom will not charge (light still flashing)

Wed, 06 May 2026 06:31:06 -0700

I haven't used the Megaboom for 6 months, took it out of storage and used it for the last couple of days while I was working outside (still had battery that lasted two days). Once it went flat, I plugged it in to charge overnight, the white light was flashing as normal. In the morning, I tried to turn it on and it said "Critical battery, please charge". While charging, if I try to turn it on, it just says "Charging, please wait". It still won't work no matter how long I leave it charging, though the white light is still flashing as normal. Is the battery toast? I did use it outside on a day with a lot of fog

Sony Television: My SONY 40" LED TV has no picture but has sound?

Wed, 06 May 2026 00:54:32 -0700

Hello. Please help me with this.

My SONY LED TV has no picture but it has sound. There's no SONY logo during startup but there's an obvious very dim light. I have tried powercycle but no go. I've tried using flashlight to check for any picture on the screen but seems like I cannot see any. I did not open the back yet to check for the ribbons and pins.

What could possibly be the problem and the fix?

Thanks so much.

Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z906: Logitech Z906 will not turn on?

Wed, 06 May 2026 00:10:47 -0700

I have 2 Logitech Z906 systems that have been working properly. One now will not turn on, no lights, nothing.

I have checked the fuse and power to the end of the input plug, All seems fine. I did see somewhere about holding the power button on the remote for 8+ seconds to reset but this didn’t do anything either.

Anyone help please, I’m perfectly competant to pull it apart; although not an electrician I am an engineer and could probably/possibly fix it with guidance.

lg dvd player dp132h: Why is my dvd player saying "no disc" when I put a disc in?

Tue, 05 May 2026 12:18:58 -0700

DVD player says "no disc" or "disc error" when I put a disc in. I've tried cleaning the laser lens, still giving the same issues. I had the same DVD player for 3 years. If this matters, here's the full story. I was playing PS5 (connected to the same TV) and I noticed my DVD player ejected a DVD that was in it already. I noticed that was odd so I put the disc back in and it stopped. A few days later, I tried to play "Nothing But Trouble" a random day on my DVD player and it started giving me this error.

Also can somebody PLEASE make guides, replacements, and other things for this DVD player it will be really useful!

TI-84 Plus CE: TI-84 Plus CE repeatedly turning on and off when charging.

Tue, 05 May 2026 10:24:16 -0700

My TI-84 Plus CE will repeatedly turn on and off repeatedly in about 1 second intervals while connected to the charging cable, regardless of the power source its connected to (wall outlet, laptop, power brick etc.). It will not turn on at all if not plugged in. I've tried pressing the reset button to no avail. The cable is essentially brand new. This also happened while it should have been at full charge, though it had been about 2 months since it was last fully charged, but it wasn't used in that time until I tried to turn it on recently. I tried taking the battery out and putting back in, and that didn't make a difference either.

LG UltraFine 5K: Why is my monitor rapidly flickering (like on and off) like crazy?

Tue, 05 May 2026 09:28:49 -0700

Hi, hope someone can help.

I have LG Ultrafine 22MD4KA-B monitor that I am trying to use with my MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro is Core i9" 2.4 16" 2019 5600M

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbo...

At first the problem was that only in MacOS (various versions) monitor blnks like crazy. On the same machine i have BootCamp with Windows 11 and from there monitor works normaly. When i boot in MacOS it automaticly starts to blink and it then continue to blink even if i boot to Windows. Only way to stop that is to disconect monitor from power and wait couple of hours (usualy one night). Then it works normaly again but only in windows not the MacOS.

As i can recal i tried using LG application for this monitor in windows, and when i changed brightness it started with blinking. Again as i recall. At that time I did not used MacOS with this monitor so mabey the problem was already there, and then mabey it started with me and that LG app.

I tried couple of things like disabling auto brightnes, graphic switchnig, and so, but with no success. Also a lot of different USB-C and Thunderbolt cables (this model only have USB-C connection)

Also worth mentioning is that in Internet recovery and as i recall in safe mode it does not fliker (after one night without power).

As I mentioned in another post, it seamed that at some point monitor fixed it self (in windows and macos) but that did not lasted long.

I used monitor like that for a while, but now it started blinking in Windows also, and leting it without power is not working same as before. It continues to bilnk no mater what. Now i left it without power, and will leave it for a few day to see what will happen.

I asume that it is some hardware issue but not sure. I do not have multiple Macbooks to try them. If someome have some suggestion or hint it would be much appreciated. I love this exact model because of screen size and resolution...

Television: LG 43UM7100PLB, horizontal Lines after FIXING with "tape method"

Tue, 05 May 2026 06:24:54 -0700

Hi, my tv suddenly stopped working after roughly 4 years, but backlight was still working. After watching countless youtube videos i taped approximatly first 14 pins on my LEFT connector and it works now but! Now i have horizontal lines on my TV.

. I've figured (i hope correctly) that pins on my connector are:

CLK1
CLK2
CLK3
CLK4
CLK5
CLK6
IDK
IDK
IDK
IDK
GND
ODD
EVEN
IDK

Now first i will post top left corner.

and now top right corner.

Left side is the bad. And right side was okay.

My question is: Will it be posiible to fix those lines or the PANEL is already somehow broken and this is best possible fix i could get. Thanks everyone for replying. Love ya <3
