iPod Touch: My iPod touch is disabled.

Wed, 10 Jan 2018 03:01:44 -0700

Someone stole my iPod touch and tried to get into it, and I think they disabled it by trying to get into it with my password set. Now the iPod says it's disabled for 21 million minutes. Is there away that it can be fixed so I don't have to wait 40 years for it to work?

How do I resync the iPod to restore it?

Electronics: What should I do after I spill liquid on my device?

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 11:31:16 -0700

We get this question all the time. For some reason, people are very particular about the type of fluid. It's very important for people to tell you whether it was apple or orange juice that their kid spilled on their MacBook Air.

So what do you suggest? What has worked for you in the past?

iPod Touch 5th Generation: My iPod Touch wont turn on and the home button is broken?

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 01:31:15 -0700

My Ipod Touch (16GB, no camera) wont turn on! It was fully charged, and I just used it and put it on sleep. I tried to turn it back on again but it wasn't responding. This has happened before, so I tried doing what I did last time, get into into recovery mode by plugging it in and holding down the home button and power button etc etc,

But

My home button has been jammed for several months. It wont click and its physically broken. I had been using assistive touch. I dont know what I can do? Maybe I could take it to an apple store and they will fix the home button so I can get it into recovery mode or is there another way? Please help.

Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV: Where can I find a replacement LCD panel for my TV?

Sat, 26 Dec 2020 06:47:29 -0700

Hello, about a year ago our 40" Sony Bravia LDC Television went one-on-one with a Wii remote... and lost. The panel was cracked, and the TV was not covered under a warranty. We have long since replaced it with another similar 40" Bravia which has faired pretty well over the past year. The other TV has been residing in the basement in it's box. I decided to leave it there until the price of LCD panels had gone down. I'm now thinking of buying a new panel (if the price is reasonable) and replacing it. The only problem is that I have no idea as to where you can buy an LCD panel for one of these TVs. eBay returned no results and neither did Amazon. Does anyone know where I can buy an LCD panel for one of these TVs?
