Hi friends. I purchased the ifixit Series 3 screen replacement and the ifixit Force Touch Sensor Gasket for Series 3...

My brother-in-law said when he removed his docking cable it broke the connector (can see missing metal on top)- but I can...

Have you tried to powerwash it (reset)? If guest mode is unaffected I would just save any local files to flash and do a powerwash.

I just ran into the same thing with an iPhone with a cracked screen and I couldn’t get the suction cup to stick. Instead of a plastic pick, try a feeler gauge or rounded blade to get under the screen. It’s a PIA but you can do it.

Check the company website for factory reset instructions. Perhaps pressing one of the buttons while turning power on - a common reset method.

Also, check to see if there is a sensor hack where you can defeat the detection. On some models you can use tape or some other means to avoid this poor design which plagues so many users.

Check the relays that are ignition / starting related and fuses nearby. Clicking makes me think a relay coil is pulling in but perhaps the contacts aren’t plugged down (relay is not all the way engaged (pressed) into its socket) or an associated fuse is not pressed down. Basically pull them out again and carefully reseat each one back into its socket.

Sure. Tweezers or a small pic.

Take a look for a lighting relay or fuse especially if it doesn’t matter which door is not triggering the lights. Most likely the wiring from each door switch comes together at a relay and the relay contacts are what enable the lights to come on. Sorry I don’t have details on the specific model but you might be able to locate one or two fuse/relay boxes (normally one under hood and possibly one below the steering console around the gas or brake pedal area. Good luck!

Unless the video card / GPU / chipset supports it, waste of money. Update (02/01/2020): Reading online I found both the 940M and Intel 5500 supports 3840 x 2160 so you should be good to go with an upgrade, all else being equal (like you said, power, video connectors, etc).

Are you trying to boot from a USB drive with an Operating System? Make sure the USB Drive boots on another computer and that the BIOS is set correctly to boot from USB.

Yeah there isn’t much to shop vacs. It’s the the hose, filter setup or motor. That’s pretty much it. Unplug the hose and see if you’re getting suction at the base. If not and you said the filter is good, then the motor (you said was noisy) is damaged. You might be able to open it up and check for something fouling up the motor. Since it isn’t that old I would write or email the vendor and complain of the failure and they may offer a replacement for minimal shipping or no charge. Good luck!

Great to hear!

Pleased to help

There are some things which can cause this - online they talk about a stuck water valve or a door switch problem. Make sure to completely restart a cycle. There is also a reset process where you unplug the power cord and then hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds after plugging the power cord back in.

I’m not sure as this repair was for a ‘friend of a friend’. I used that B-7000 import stuff. Does anyone know how to source the adhesive that Apple uses or what that stuff is?

Thank you williamsjond I’m glad I could help!

Anagazo,

Glad that you found an alternate technique that works for you. I wouldn’t call the heat ineffective and I recommend installing a new force touch gasket regardless after opening up the glued surface like this display.

Hey Mason,

I think there are some articles that identify them but if you take a look at the Series 3 teardown, the chip mounted at the top middle of the inside of the display is the force touch controller, so my educated guess would be that the middle ribbon cable is responsible for touch. I had the same problem and reseated all of them again and it worked after that.

I’m able to power on my camera board (I have it plugged into the PC USB), it triggers the computer USB storage but the PC will not mount the card storage. With it plugged into the PC USB port the battery charging voltage is 4.1VDC. I’m not sure that I ever used the parking mode so I don’t know how log it takes to deplete the battery but I don’t think it stays charged very long.

Hey Adam,

Good question. I pulled mine just now to see and you’re right, it is a pad with adhesive holding it down. Be careful lifting it as there is a tiny circuit board on the pad end. Unfortunately I have had the replacement camera fail in exactly the same way and I contacted their support but they will not replace this second defective one. These unfortunately are not reliable. Post back if you are able to get yours working with a replacement battery. I think the battery might only be used for the parking mode but I’m not sure. My voltage measurement on my battery is zero with this installed. For grins I may try to plug it in and then check the voltage across the connection on the circuit board. Good luck.

Thank you Paul. This was my first such guide and I hope to publish more. I'm glad to have been helpful and appreciate the acknowledgement. Take care.
