has it gotten wet? even in high humidity? it sounds like stuff is shorting\bridging connections. id try to factory reset it if possible and if that doesnt work you may have to tear it down and clean contacts out with isopropyl

Hi Alexander, So im not super familiar with iphones when it comes to when they started doing the serialization of components but i do know on the newer phones you cannot swap parts on a whim. the new iphone 12 you cant change the camera at all. itll basically render the camera useless ( the new one) theres a video from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY7DtKMB... where he tears down 2 EXACT iphones and swaps parts from one to the other and they do not work! its all apart of the right to repair movement happening. anyway. i wouldnt put it past apple to do this on the iphone 8 but its something theyve started to do more recently. id say call other repair shops and see what they say about it also. im sure one of the other more experienced guys on this forum would be able to help a bit more.

typically laptop monitors are pretty straight forward. the most expensive part is usually the monitor itself. if you don’t feel confident enough changing it yourself, you’ll need to take it to a reputable repair place to do it for you. make sure you find a place that offers a warranty on their work. (no warranty = a no from me) in my eyes if a place cant warranty their work they aren’t confident in their repairs. so be careful with that. Northridgefix on YT does a lot of repairs but i believe hes in new york so that might be a bit far.

You should unplug it, not try to use it again and if youre technically savvy tear the laptop down and clean it out. its going to be quite the endeavor if youve never done it before. thankfully there isa teardown guide on iFixit Asus Rog GL55VW-DH71 Disassembly youre going to need the tools listed in the guide plus stuff to clean the computer out. i would say a BUNCH of Q-Tips and 90% rubbing alcohol. while youre in the computer you should be looking for components that are blown. take a look here. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/qu...-and-replace-a-resistor if you find anything like this it will more than likely need to be changed. so either you can do it by soldering new stuff on or you can send the board out to someone like northridgefix on YT to fix it for you. (for a charge of course) hopefully you can get it cleaned out and fixed! thankfully if you have anything important on it odds are the Hard drive will be okay. good luck! i hope this helps! Side note: if you ever spill something on an...

the brown ones are typically capacitors and the black ones are resistors. the resistors can be tricky and you may need a certain one for that location. if you can find a donor board that would be your best bet on figuring out which one youd need! Louis rossman and northridgefix on YT would be a good place to start looking for pictures of donor boards!

i would imagine they’re probably pretty similar in the teardown procedure. youd have to take care when heating up the screen so you dont get glass shards in your fingers and take it slow when you lift the screen up so you dont tear any cables. as for the screen you might have problems finding replacement screens out there that are reliable since the watch just came out. i search around on Ali express and ebay and google searching places. from the looks of it i couldn’t find and SE replacement screens :(

I definitely wouldn’t try to charge it anymore. contact ifixit customer support about the issue, I’m not sure how long their batteries are warrantied for but they would be able to assist you with it. a bulging battery could prove to be a fire hazard and should be handled with care!

if you let the battery fully discharge often youll need to charge it a while before the phone recognizes the battery again as being in the phone. let it sit for a good while while charging. id say atleast an hour. also try a different charger and wall outlet just to be sure.

no video? first check in the connector itself and see if there are any bent pins or anything messed up in there. then try opening it back up and take a peek at the HDMI plug. get a pick or something pointy and check all the pins on the back of the connector. also try swapping the HDMI cord for a different one and if you have a second TV try that as well. heres a link for the HDMIs you might need. https://www.injuredgadgets.com/gaming-console-parts/game-console-quick-shop/hdmi-ports/

yeaaaa….. i was going to say something along these lines lol. itll get the job done but its by no means the right \ best way to do the job.

just be careful doing this lol, flying molten solder can and will burn you or other components.

flux flux flux its your friend! use it!

i would use some flux and then some solder wick. flux makes like easy with soldering!
