Valve Index Controller: Controller wont charge, Battery still works. Light doesn't turn on.

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 22:08:24 -0700

My right controller after a night of charging suddenly wont accept charge anymore. It still has battery life and still works perfectly fine but it no longer accepts any charge from any cable. I've tried the "hard reset" but nothing works. The light doesn't turn on when plugged in but it still turns blue and green like it's normally working.
I can't afford a second hand over priced controller at the moment so I really just want to try and fix this one.

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble with my Bose Soundlike Mini 1. I used it, and the next day it wouldn't turn on. So I put it on charge, and now the battery light is flashing rapidly in red. When I plug it in, Bluetooth connects, and it starts flashing red again. I should mention that I'm not using the original charger, and it's always worked before. Thanks for your help

Samsung Galaxy Buds: Anything I can do to repair paring issue?

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 21:24:42 -0700

iFixit youtube video greatly helped me how to open this galaxy bud……

Here is my issue…

The outside light of case(cradle) : Green (which means I believe it was fully charged)

The inside light of case(cradle) : Red (it never changes...always keep red..) which I believe the ear buds for some reasons are not being charged... Actually, I tried to charge even more 24 hours...the outside light is green, but the inside light between L and R is red. (no flashing red,..just solid red)...

The issue is that paring is not working.. I tried to pair with different phones(Samsung and Non-samsung android phone).....however, the Bluetooth is not able to detect this galaxy buds at all... it doesn't show up the Galaxy Buds in the list of bluetooth when they scan...so..I am not able to pair...

It used to work..long time ago...at some point....it started having this issue..not sure quite sure why...

So I followed the youtube video to replace the battery... however, it seems like the paring issue has nothing to do with battery... I still have the paring issue...

Obviously, the warranty is expired.... is there anything I could try to repair this pairing issue? I am not a hardware guy though..but anything I can try to do something by myself, since I know how to open this ear buds?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Vankyo v7000 (Yg551): How to open device?

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 11:24:09 -0700

How do I open the device? My cats knocked the projector off it's place holder and the focus doesn't work as it should. it seems like the lens was knocked out of its focus track and no longer spins unless I hold it for a long time. But it never gets the focus right. If I could get the body open, I could pop it back into place but I don't know where to start.

Thank you!

LG Television: LG TV Beeps 3 times then exits app and goes to main menu

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 22:58:02 -0700

LG 50UQ7570PUJ tv that is about 3 years old just started making 3 beeps and goes to main menu. It will do this when watching an app like Netflix, Prime or YouTube. There is not exact time it does it. It could take 10 minutes or it could take 15 seconds after launching an app. When going back to the main menu it will launch LG Channels. I can watch LG channels and it will not go back to main menu but will still beep 3 times.
