Chosen Solution Upon pressing the start button, a sound similar to a short, deep note on a piano is made inside computer and it will not open up. I must shut down and attempt again a minimum of 3 to 4 times before computer allows self to open. Ideas?? Thank you John C From your description it sounds like something interfering with the fan, like a matted lump of dust and fluff rubbing on the fan vanes....

Chosen Solution I have a black 30gb 5th generation video Ipod. I’d been having trouble with it where it wouldn’t charge when connected to the computer but would when I plugged it into the a/c adapter. Now it only works when it’s plugged in but even though it says it’s charging it immediately shuts off when you unplug it. It never says it’s charged fully. Is it the logic board?

Chosen Solution So I fell today and my ZenWatch 2 screen got really badly scratched. Is there a way to repair it? Sadly your only real option here is to replace the watches crystal (cover glass). Deep scratches require too much polishing to remove and often weaken the glass (thiner) and in the case of smart watches the imbedded touch screens can be damaged as well in the process of polishing....

Chosen Solution Hi. I have a late 2012 iMac 27 inch. This morning I tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I removed the screen to see what’s going on.
