Chosen Solution I have set up my macbook pro as a wifi hotspot. I connected to this with my iphone and get “no internet connection” on my phone. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I think you’ve got things reversed! The phone needs to be the Hotspot so you can leverage its cellular connection to the internet. Think of it this way… The Internet <> Device A <> Device B Device A is the hotspot Device B is connecting to....

Chosen Solution Hi I had to change the screen on the iphone 5C (which i have done several times on these phones) as well as the charger port. All seemed quite easy but as i hadnt changed the charger port before all went well.

Chosen Solution I have a HP laptop that has a messed up Windows Store and Calculator. Windows store does nothing, I tried reset, terminate, troubleshooter, and PowerShell reinstall.

Reinstall the application from its original install location or contact your administrator”. I have the latest version of Windows 10....

Chosen Solution Camera won’t hold date Has to be put in every time camera is turned on. Can this be fixed Mike, sounds like your RTC battery is depleted. I would start with that. Canon calls them Date/Time battery.

Chosen Solution The computer seems to physically be running fine. If the user shuts it down correctly, it will not power on again until the battery is removed, and the adapter is unplugged. I have updated the OS, and I have also run the power management driver updates. Any ideas? @gatewaynomad it’s a long shot but I would try a new battery first. It could be deeper (like your sense circuit on the motherboard) but for that we would need to know the make and model of the motherboard....

Chosen Solution I have a star wars edition xbox 360, its a 16 corona motherboard, when I press the power button the blue light comes on and it plays the R2 sound effect and immediately shuts off. Before I consider sending it out for a reflow, as I am not comfortable doing that yet, are there any other suggestions I could try. Where should I test the board with a multimeter....

Chosen Solution will Sulphur from my free flowing well stop my refridgerator from cooling? ‘’’++@takeout++’’’ no it will not. The cooling mechanism of your fridge is independent from your water. As a sidebar question; where do you get the sulphur from and are you treating your well for this? Have you tested your water for iron and sulfur bacteria?

Chosen Solution My Aspire V5 with Windows 8 suddenly crashed and is stuck in a preparing automatic repair cycle. How can I get out of this cycle at least long enough to recover files and programs from the hard drive? Operating System may have gotten corrupted, but check if you can get into the safe mode to recover your data. Best Solution is to format and clean install the OS. If you have important data in the hard drive then connect to a another computer to recover data....

Chosen Solution The “wireless capability"key switch at the front of the computer broke off while in the “off” position. Is there a way to open up the computer and re-establish the ability to use wireless internet? Before you dive into the laptop, make sure that the wireless is not disabled in windows or the BIOS, or at least check the color of the wireless indication light. Green means that the wireless is enabled....

Chosen Solution Hello, the C and F# keys on my Yamaha P45 digital piano stopped working this morning. C and F# pairs on the 5th, 6th and 7th octaves and the last C8 key. I didn’t find any dust on the contacts. I tried reversing the ribbon cable which connects the higher octaves to the middle board, same result. Then I tried reversing the 27 pin flex ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the PCD, same result....

It will move at low engine speed in 1st gear but won’t put down power at high rpm and won’t shift out of 1st gear without excessive engine rpm. I checked the fluid level and it was normal. There is also a burning smell. It has a 3 speed automatic with overdrive. the first thing is transmission fluid....

My computer gave me a notification saying the device malfunctioned and it couldn’t recognize it....

Chosen Solution All of my other devices ( my phone and other Samsung Galaxy tablet) works on wifi but my ematic tablet won’t You need to identify if the tablet is the problem or some weird incompatibility between your WiFi and the tablet. Take the tablet to a friends house or somewhere with public WiFi and try to connect to that WiFi with the tablet. If it does not work elsewhere you have a problem with the device itself....

Chosen Solution Currently have the entire machine gutted and plan to max out everything in hopes of running Sierra as stable as possible. I have yet to find a definitive answer on the web: What is the best Wi-Fi Bluetooth card that I can install to replace the AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR card from 2006?

Chosen Solution I’m worried my Apple Pencil will stop working with third party parts. Has anyone had an experience? It will work if that digitizer can support Apple Pencil but if you order it from iFixit I think it will not work because it has to be a genuine apple part I think

I have replaced the laser pickup and the spindle motor, out of 10 cd’s, only one cd will load and play, the dvd will not even spin. The pickup is mounted on two rails that are screwed the metal chassis, the screws go thu tension springs before they screw into the metal, is the height of the laser pickup critical, ie how loose or tight the screws are, to get the dvd to play....

Chosen Solution While using Windows 10, I went to the system BIOS, and I think I messed something up inside there, which caused the BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO BSoD.
