I have this used Dell desktop I’m trying to use but it’s protected by a BIOS or HDD password. Is there any way I can reset...

I have a customer with some eTalk flip phone from verizon and it is currently having an issue where it automatically...

I’m assuming you purchased the iPhone 8 second hand? That phone should support an accessory like that however there may be some caveats. There’s a USB validator chip known as TriStar or Hydra depending on the model (I believe Hydra is in the X and above). Anyways these chips check to make sure that whatever you plug into the lightning port is safe to use and won’t cause harm to the device by talking to another circuit chip located in the device you connected. A good quality accessory will have surge protection built in to ensure no harm is done if something goes wrong. However, cheaper accessories will “trick” TriStar and cause harm. If you purchased that iPhone 8 second hand there could be a possibility that it had some underlying issue.

You can absolutely swap the board to a new frame. Just make sure you keep yourself organized and take your time. Thankfully the iPhone 5 is pretty simple in design compared to newer models, some of which require other parts to be transferred in order to maintain certain features.

Upgrading the RAM in these machines does require microsoldering and if you’re going to be spending that much money on upgrading an older machine, you could get a much more powerful desktop that will support future upgrades.

It depends on your skill level and what you’re doing with your machine. The GPU really doesn’t play as big of a role as the CPU does. After you’ve edited your video, you have to export it, which essentially “bakes” everything together into one smooth video that can be played across lots of devices. Seeing as your particular model had at max a dual core CPU, it may take a while to render the video. I used my 13” 2013 retina pro for video editing and it did pretty well at least for my needs and skill level. If you want to do more, you’ll need more CPU cores. And that’s where a custom built desktop can come into play if you don’t need something mobile.

Typically you peel off the old adhesive and replace it with new stuff. Don’t use silicone, use something like Tesa black tape. Some parts suppliers will sell precut adhesive for most devices. Some suppliers will also sell back covers with new adhesive either already attached or you need to apply it. In some cases, if you cut through the adhesive clean enough you can reuse it. Just put the back cover back on, use some heat from a heat gun or hair dryer, and then either clamp it down for about 20 minutes or put some heavy books on it.

Can you post some pictures of the terminals? To repair them would mean you have to replace them if they're corroded enough. If they're not too corroded you can scrub them with a wire brush while it's disconnected from the car.

Listen, I know you see all these guides online on how to DIY glass only repairs on these phones, but all I have to say is you can’t do them. You need a lot of practice and quite a lot of skill to perform that repair. That’s why repair shops replace the whole display and don’t offer glass only repairs, which is why it makes them that much more expensive. The OLED panels in these phones is extremely thin and extremely fragile. If you apply pressure in the slightest way you’ll end up with a black spot in the display. Just do yourself a favor, and order a whole screen assembly.

Liquid damage is like cancer for electronics in that you can “cure” it in one area but then later down the road it can show up in other spots. At this point, the only thing your watch would be good for would be to take apart and learn how it works. As a repair technician, I always tell consumers to never trust their “waterproof” devices in or near water. I’ve seen what makes them water resistant and at the moment they don’t make their devices truly “waterproof”. It’s all a gimmick. It’s really only meant if you spill something on them or if they take a quick swim in the sink.

I know in the case of some older apple products before they added wireless charging there were cases available that would plug into the charging port. However I doubt such a product exists for your tablet and to add it would require a lot of work and microsoldering you’d be better off spending the money on a better tablet. So to answer your question, you most likely cannot add Qi charging to your tablet.
