Did you note the corrosion under the RTC plug? I’d use it till it fails. Remember, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

Resposta para "Can this be repaired -Broken battery door on C190 Easy Share" 15/07/2021
Found this answer It is quite simple, but there are little tiny screws and some dexterity required! to replace the battery door, you need a super small screwdriver (I've used both an eyeglass size and the screwdriver that came with my son's tech deck!) . you'll have to unscrew all of the small screws that hold on the back of the camera. remember which screws go to which hole - because some are longer than others. once the screws are out, you'll have to gently pry off the cover. carefully - you dont want to crack the camera case. you'll also want to be careful not to touch the sensor, which will be exposed with the case off. https://www.fixya.com/support/t22648671-repair_battery_door_kodak_easy_share

Resposta para "HP Laser Jet p1505n not compatible with MBP M1 2020 - any workarounds?" 15/07/2021
Try this: plug your printer in, go to System Preferences under the Apple, select Printers & Scanners. Make sure your printer is turned on and connected via USB cable. Your printer should show up in the printer column. Hit the + at the bottom of the prinyrtr box. Now you should get a message (if there is no driver available), that will ask if you want to download this driver. Do so and then see if you can set it up. This failing, find the driver on your old system and move it to the new one.. Printer drivers are stored in a subfolder in the Library folder of your Mac's home directory. The Library folder is hidden from casual users in the latest Mac OS X operating system, so you'll need to press a keyboard command to see your printer driver files. Mac Finder: showing hidden files using keyboard shortcuts (1) Open Macintosh HD or the folder where you want to display the hidden files in the Finder. (2) Hold down the Command, Shift and Period keys: cmd + shift + [.] (3) The hidden files and folders on your Mac...
Resposta para "My washer won't spin unless I give it a little help" 15/07/2021
Probably a loose belt. Try running the washer in a spin cycle with the belt removed. If the motor does not run with the belt removed, the problem is likely a defective motor.

I disagree with your difficulty level. I found this much harder than a standard display due to the size and number of tiny screws.
