Hello! :D Background / Information: My laptop sometimes gets really hot, the CPU goes up to over 90 degrees Celsius (not...

If I understand you correctly, the screen is frozen and nothing, not even the mouse is moving as if a picture would be on the screen. This is usually caused by the computer getting overloaded (is trying to process more than it’s capable of) and it will stop working. Most of the time it solves itself just by waiting for a few seconds and then you should probably close a program so it won’t happen again. If it doesn’t solve itself, try closing the open program by holding down the alt button on the keyboard and then pressing F4, this should close the program that is active and hopefully will fix the problem. Last thing if the screen still is frozen, hold down the power button until the computer turns off and then start it again. This will most likely fix the problem, if it doesn’t please post some more information.

It’s really hard to say what part most likely have been water damaged, it may be almost everywhere in the device or just a connector. Buying water damages devices is a gamble, you may get an easy one that needs a little bit of cleaning on one or a few places. Or it may be water damage almost everywhere and a lot of things that need a replacement. What part that is most likely the place where it’s water damaged is difficult to say since it’s not really made to stop water from coming into the device, so it may have got to a lot of different places depending on how much water it was. ——— Hope this helped, even though I didn’t really give you a clear answer. :D

Since your device is pretty old, I think it will be hard to find a replacement part. ——— I would recommend you to look for a makers-space in your area and ask if they have a 3D-printer (a machine that extrudes plastic to build custom parts). These places are usually happy to help others out, so you can ask if they can make a design/3D-scan of the broken part and print you a new one. I don’t know how it works now during Corona, if you can’t find one that is open you may be able to find someone else that can design it for you and then order it from a 3D-printing service online instead. Hope this helped and good luck whit your repair! :D

My guess of the most likely cause of this: To begin whit, try to get the room as dark as possible and then point a strong flashlight at it. If you can see some of the pictures when doing this, it’s most likely that the backlight is broken. What you should do: Since the TV isn’t that old, you may still have an active garanty, so try and contact the seller about it and if they can repair it for you for free or give you a new one. If that isn’t the case or if you want to do it yourself I would start with changing the backlight (if you can see the picture using a flashlight as mentioned above), sadly, I can’t find a guide for your model. If you want to try it out and need more help, feel free to ask more questions. Good luck and hope this helped! :D

Hello! :D Sorry to hear that you feel like that, I would recommend you to contact iFixit Customer Support if you think that you got a faulty part.

Hello! :D At least for me, it sounds like it should be the display cable that is bad. This because it works when you are using an external display (it shouldn’t be a GPU problem) and in the beginning, it stopped working when you were moving your display (this is most likely caused by the cable being bent/moved to different positions where some made it lose contact). Good luck and hope this helped!

Hello! :D Double-Check: Just in case, start with double checking so you are trying to do it in the right place because I know there are phones that have holes that look just like the one for the SIM-card ejector but they are something else like a speaker. Solution: When you have verified that, try to find a metal paper clip that is about the same dimension as the ejecting tool. Now unfold the paper clip, then try to press it right over where the broken ejecting tool is so that you can open up the SIM-tray. (From what I have read, this may require some force) When the tray is out, it should be much easier to get the broken tool out by grabbing it on the inside of the SIM-card cover and press it out from the phone. If it still is too far in to be able to get it, please send a picture of how it looks. This guide may also help you to find where the correct hole is and how you should do it.

Hello! :D Solution 1:: The toy doesn’t look like one you are able to find spare parts for, but just in case please add some more information about what the manufacturer is and if you can find any model number on the bottom of the device. Solution 2:: There is also another solution if it is like I think, I would recommend you look around if there are any Maker spaces around where you live. They usually have so-called “3D-printers“, it’s a device that dispences plastic in layers to create plastic parts. (if you want to know more, search for it on Youtube) So what you can do then is to ask them if they want to help you with modelling the broken part (take it to them so they can take measurements etc.) and then print it for you. Good luck! :D

Cause of the problem: My guess would be that a lot of dust and other debris has gotten stuck around something, which stops the part from spinning smoothly. It may also be that the debris has forced a part away from where it’s supposed to be. I have another brand of a robot vacuum that I'm taking apart and cleaning now and it really needed cleaning, it didn’t have the same problem as yours but I found a few places where it looked like it would cause a similar problem anytime. How to turn it upside down and it still runs: From my understanding, you should be able to turn it upside down by holding the wheels down, I think that’s the mechanism detecting if it’s on the floor or not. How to solve it: If you feel comfortable with taking it apart and clean it from dust etc., that’s what I would begin with. If you find what part it is that sounds bad and don’t want to clean the other moving parts when you're on it, you can go for just that one. I found two guides on how to get to the Cleaning Head and Side Wheels,...

Since you have a new cable, the cable shouldn’t be the problem. Start with disconnecting the ribbon and look if a part of the old ribbon may have got stuck in the connector. Then connect the ribbon again by inserting it again and make sure it is all the way in without using that much force, then close the latch to lock the ribbon in place. If this doesn’t help, a local repair professional should be able to replace the connector for you without it being extremely expensive, make sure to ask for how much they think it will cost before. (I'm not 100% how the connector looks, but it should be possible) Hope this helped you and good luck! :D

It was a while ago you wrote this, but I will reply in case you still have the problem or anyone else is reading this in the future.

This is not the correct place to contact iFixit for this kind of thing, you should contact the customer support instead.
