Sony Television: How to fix black screen model KD-43XG7096

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:21:57 -0700

Basically a while ago while watching netflix, the tv would shut down and then restart, I tought it was some bug. After a bit, the tv did the same thing but this instance, the tv wouldn't turn on. I tried hard restarting it (unplugging and then pressing the power button for 5 seconds and then put the cable back in). The issue is that now the tv isn't starting no more. The screen is black, and the light under the tv is flickering.

Anker Soundcore Space Q45: Strange noise when I wiggle the left earpiece

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:43:39 -0700

My Q45 is making noise in the left earpiece when I wiggle it in the "lying down" position. I'm not familiar with the inside of it, but it looks more like an issue with some sliding contacts than just a broken wire, as the sound is consistent, like a worn-down potentiometer. Are there any sliding contacts inside the folding mechanism? What should I do to fix it?

Sony WH-1000XM6: Adjustable earmuff hyperextended out of headband; How do I care for it

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 04:36:53 -0700

The left earmuff on my XM6's can slide out of the headband after something retaining it broke. This seems to have been caused due to single ear usage or pulling off unequally.

Important; It's working otherwise!

The 2 earmuffs are wired together, but the wiring has this hard plastic casing that I assume runs the entire inside of the wire.

On the CT Scan (thank you SO much!) the XM6's have this orange cable running the inside. Mine are still intact at the ends.

The headphones can slide back into the headband but they are noticeably more loose than to start with. There is foam lining the inside of the headband that seems to have been torn from when the earmuffs disconnected.

Question; What can I do to care for these now vulnerable, loose adjustable arms?

Panasonic Television: How to fix a really shaded screen (almost pitch black) for TX-48CX400E

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 02:05:29 -0700

I was watching a movie on my tv and after a while the screen would turn pitch black, but sound was on, I tought it might be a black screen, tested it with a flashlight, and the results were that the screen was really really black. I tried looking at different methods to repair, after I looked at some youtube tutorials I found out 2 of my resistors on the power board were really under they're written power (normally it should've been at 48k) but they are around 14k ohms which is really weird (everything was tested with a multimeter). I wonder if it would be the problem, should I try to put new resistors? Or should I try to check on the tv led's (I dont have the equipment necessary to check it)?

Multimeter: My Klein Tools MM700 multimeter is reading voltage incorrectly

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:50:53 -0700

i recently was given a broken Klein Tools MM700 multimeter at my work andit does everything properly except diode test and voltage. in diode test it just reads 1.031v no matter what doesn't change weather i toggle hold or unplug the probes. in voltage mode when measuring a 1.5v battery it reads .5v for a second then goes to 0v and when measuring 240vac it reads 24vac on autoranging but when i put it on the non auto ranging it reads 70vac. i verified all measurement with another multimeter and they read fine on that one. all the other modes like temp, resistance, continuity and capacitance that use that probe work great.

Roku 3: roku keeps shutting off

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:42:27 -0700

why does my roku 3 keep shutting down?

Thanks but I did. Tried different HDMI as well as the three RCA jacks and also 2 different tv’s. I also reset the Roku to factory settings and even then, it shut down while loading all the channels. As I was re-setting it up it accepted the wireless name/password and started to load 1 of 88 channels but shut down while the channels were loading. I unplugged and plugged back in and it started loading 1 of 52 channels then shut down again midstream. Re-booted again and loading 1 of 33… shut down a couple more times but finally completed. After ALL that back to the same thing. after 2 to 5 minutes of watching whatever it shuts down.

Soundcore Liberty Air 2: Case won’t charge

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:16:15 -0700

My Soundcore Liberty Air 2 charging case won’t charge. It shows the LEDs light up when I plug it in and the earphones charge in the case when it’s plugged in to the wall. Also, the lights flash rapidly when the case is opened or shut which it did not do when I first got it. Please help if anyone has any solutions to this issue.

Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds: White noise in unit after battery replacement

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:30:03 -0700

Hi, community!

I've followed the instructions from the site to replace the batteries of a unit after the famous recurring probleem with battery drain in this model.

After changing the battery in the right unit, a white noise started after repair. The noise it's gone when I disable ANC, so probably has to do with the mic or the seal.

Does anyone had this problem before?

Thanks!

Sirius Stiletto 100: My Sirius stiletto 100 won't play in my vehicle

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:47:22 -0700

I have a Sirius Stiletto 100 and so does my wife, Hers works at home and in her car. Mine works at home but not in my vehicle. Both radio receivers are activated. Mine shows "no antenna detected" message while connected with the vehicle antenna placed over the roof of my car. I have changed all of my radio receiver setting exactly as my wife's but no luck. My receiver works perfectly at home when I connect my Sirius satellite headphones it catches all active channels, (at home), just like my wife's. Mine not even recognizes my vehicle's FM radio signal. I connected my wife's radio receiver with her car dock and my car dock in my car and it works, catches my car's FM signal and we can hear all 184 activated satellite channels, connected my radio receiver with my car dock and with her car dock in her vehicle and same problem. "no antenna detected" message also appears, pressed The FM switch on hers and my dock into her car and both docks won't recognize the car's FM signal with my radio receiver. I'm writing here as the last resort hoping someone has experienced the same problem and perhaps know how to resolve this mystery. We have tried everything at our disposal.

Logitech G560 LIGHTSYNC Gaming Speakers: Logitech G560 volume randomly decreases by itself after firmware updat

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 09:27:42 -0700

My Logitech G560 speakers are working normally. The sound works, the lights work, and all speakers are functioning correctly.

The only issue is that the volume randomly decreases by itself.

The problem started after a firmware update. I tried reinstalling G HUB, reinstalling drivers, testing different connections, and using the speakers on another PC, but the issue remains.

I also took the speakers to an electronics technician, and he believes the fault may be related to an internal component on the main board.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, which component is usually responsible, and is there any way to source or replace the faulty part?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sony NWZ-E473: Is it possible to replace the storage device (Hard/Flash Drive)?

I was wondering the possibility of replacing the 4GB flash drive with either another 4GB drive, or maybe even a 16GB drive? If not, could we at least get a Teardown so that we can better understand the device?
