I bought this laptop 4 years ago and only got to use it for 6 months because I set a bios password and cant remember the password for the life of me. I’ve tried everything. I even contacted MSI to ask for help. The C-Mos battery has been out for over 2 years now. PLEASE help me get this beast up and running again! Thanks!

I have a late 2012 iMac 27’ desktop (EMC 2546). I tried upgrading my memory with 4 SK Hynix 8GB 2Rx8 PC3L 12800s (serial # HMTHMT41GS6AFR8A-PB). When I turned on my Mac I got the 5 beeps and black screen signal at startup, suggesting that I’ve got an issue with my memory modules. I read somewhere that iMac’s are real finicky about which modules it will accept. I tried to do some research on the internet and though I did expand my knowledge on memory modules, I still can’t tell if the ones I installed are compatible or not. The last thing I want to do is exchange these modules other ones only to find out that the problem is not a compatibility issue but something else, such as the motherboard. If there’s anyone out there that can help me with this issue, particularly on whether or not I’ve got the right modules for my Mac. Also, what else could be the problem if it’s not the modules.

Please help, thanks!

Hi! After spilling beer in my laptop, I disassembled my whole macbook in order to give the logic board an alcohol bath. With success! The laptop is starting up again.

However I also removed the heatsink and applied new thermal paste (Arctic Silver 5 ).

The problem is that when turning the laptop on, after 1 minute, the fan begins blowing full speed, making loud noise, and immediately feels heated.

Could this issue be that I didn't apply the taste correctly, or something in the software?

-I used isoproyl alcohol to clean the old thermal paste off with a simple microfiber cloth on both the heatsink and cpu.

-I simply dropped a little bit of new paste on the CPU, then spread it out with my finger wrapped in a plastic sandwich bag. It looked like all spread even, however I'm not sure if the amount was right, it was very little. But at least the whole surface was covered. Is that enough? Or does it need to be thicker?

-I didn't put anything on the heatsink.

-I did only use the microfiber cloth. Every now and then there was some dust going on the CPU but every time I brushed it off with the cloth and a big drip of isopropyl.

When I heard the fan go so loud right away, I turned off the computer because I was scared of destroying the CPU when it gets so hot for doing nothing.

Thanks a lot.

I believe you may need some more thermal paste. Try putting some on the heatsink and see if that works

MacBook Pro 13.3" - Late 2011 (Macbook Pro 8,1)

So, over a year ago my computer froze up while I was using it a few times over several days, every time I had to do a hard reset.

The last time it happened, it never started up again. I only get the flashing question mark folder.

My research made me think I needed a new hard drive. I brought the computer to a "professional" repair shop in my neighborhood and paid for a diagnosis and to test my hard drive just in case I wasn't correct.

Next day he says I need a new hard drive and everything on my old drive is unsalvageable. So I purchase a new 1TB SSHD from him and install it myself. I still get the flashing question mark folder. I go back to the "professional" and after some unpleasant interrogation he admits he didn't actually test anything, but just assumed I needed a hard drive because of my symptoms.

He offers to test my old hard drive for free (free? I actually paid for it the first time!) and he now says he was mistaken, my old drive is just fine, and I need a new logic board. Of course, at this point I don't trust him, so my question is...

How can I determine whether or not I need a new logic board?

I have reset NVRAM and tried internet recovery. I am able to open Disk Utility, and my hard drive is not listed in the left hand column. Same results with the old drive or the new drive. I basically cannot get the computer to recognize any internal hard drive I install. If I plug in a thumb drive or a flash card they are recognized and I can format and partition them without issue.

Oh, I bought a case and the wire for my old hard drive so I could use it as an external drive. It worked just fine on my other computer and I was able to copy all of my data onto my other computer. So I know for sure the old hard drive works just fine. I gave the new drive to my son, and he uses it as an external drive for his computer, so I know there was nothing wrong with that drive either.

So I dropped my phone in the water yesterday for a brief second. When I picked it up and inspected it everything works fine except for the sound. I can't hear anything unless I have the headphones in. When I try to just put the volume up it states the headphone volume went up even when there isn't headphones connected.

I keep receiving the message: "Unfortunately Google Store Play has stopped working". How do I fix that? Can I just remove that app and if yes, how do I download a version of that app?

Obv. A Google image, but this is the speaker/tuner I own.

• Hoi allemaal,
• Sinds een dag gaat mijn JBL Tuner niet meer aan, en geeft ook geen indicatie dat deze oplaad. De tuner staat altijd op een vaste plek, binnenshuis, en alleen de originele laadkabel wordt gebruikt. Kabel en stopcontact al gecheckt, functioneren beide. Ik krijg alleen oplossingen voor andere JBL speakers gevonden, die ik overigens ook op de tuner heb geprobeerd, maar niet voor de Tuner. Iemand die een idee heeft of me in de goede richting kan wijzen? Dankjewel!
• Hi all, my JBL tuner (radio) won't turn on since a day or so. It also doesn't give any indication that it's being charged. So no LEDs or sound or whatsoever. The turner is not being carried around, it has an assigned, in home, place. I always use the original charging cable. Both the cable and the outlet function perfectly, so the Tuner is definitely the problem. The online solutions I got were for many other JBL products, but couldn't find one for this one. I did try the solutions for the other speakers on the tuner with, unfortunately, no result. Somebody got an idea or a nudge in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
