My phone keeps restarting by itself.
I have a Xiaomi 11T pro (i am currently typing on my computer.), i can admit it suffered quite a few blows and i guess it had its last straw a while ago.
Even i try to turn it on, it gets stuck on the logo screen, and will only boot up if i put pressure on it, but only for a few seconds, then it turns back off again and restarts yet again. If it does work, i cant move it or pick it up, or it does ot again.
I got it on for a few days on by a miracle, but then my niece picked it up and started to play with it, by the time i stopped her it was back to that endless loop of restarts.
I want to know if i can fix this issue myself or if i have to go to a repair shop to do it, this subreddit is my only hope to fix my phone. If more information is needed comment and I'll reply as soon as i can.
(I apologise for my any spelling/grammar mistakes. English isnt my first language.)
I have an ASUS ZenBook 14 for about 3 years now, and it has recently started acting up. When plugged in, the battery shows its at 98% and is charging, but no matter how long i leave it charging the battery percentage does not change. Additionally, it will no longer turn on without being plugged in, and will immediately shut down if the charger is unplugged while the laptop is on. I have already tried troubleshooting the battery driver but nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I accidentally clicked on a website while looking for porn on my phone. The website is called digitalbatch. com. I’m worried about what this website is, a few websites like scam advisor say it’s safe but every-time I click it it opens up to a bunch of random shady websites. The websites logo looks kinda like pornhubs logo but instead of ph it’s gn. Should I be worried about this website?
With tic tok; i learned a lot of good stuff from cooking to learning how to cope with anxiety and lot of relatable stuff but stuff that gave me good ideas.

What can I do that can quickly save everything or the data ? What technique or method I can do to save everything? Anything helps !
Hello, im not sure if this is the right place for this issue but im in need of some help with my television. The screen stopped working suddenly. The remote works and sound is coming out of it but nothing appears on the screen. I have done a soft reset by taking out the plug for 2 minutes, but it hasn't shown effect... Does someone know what might he the issue here? Thank you so much in advance! The product name is LG 43 UM7000.
I forgot the password and I want to format/erase it so that I can set it up again but I can't find a single way where it's password is not required.
Edit: Missed out mentioning that the SSD is an external one.
When i shift steam files to my external hard drive the games are randomly missing from the hard drive any other files i put in there can randomly get corrupted and i cant delete any of them also external hard drive is very slow it averages a 1 to 5 mb speed half the time when transfering its zero i mainly planned on using this hard drive for video game storage plus videos its 2 tb i cant put in photos so i cant give you an idea of what the ports look like or what the hard drive looks like i have no idea what the model/type of external hard drive it is
What ive done to try and fix the speed and corruptions
For speed ive put on better performance for the hard drive through properties disabled that write cache thing
For the corruptions ive done the chkdsk command in windows powershell
And yes ive looked on google
ill link a google drive to the images https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ryR-mCbEOpvSFdltQtjRYup1TEOFo_wL?usp=sharing
Edit i forgot to mention it has been dropped 2 to 3 times and someday this random clear solid thing in the shape of a streak of water was on the side of it one day
My parents put on assistive access on my phone and Im tired of it, can you guys help me out to get out of it, I dont have the password, moms apple id password, and settings is not avalible to me
I tried lowering refresh rate to 60 and below but it did not fix the issue. 144Hz makes it worse. Secondary monitor has no issues. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling AMD driver, no fix. Reboot to safe mode, no fix.
What to do? My laptop is an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop.
Thanks, guys!
I only see these bugs on my end, and when I try to send a screenshot to others it comes out clean. I believe its either my GPU being fried, or monitor and cables having issues not too sure. I've taken these from my phone since its the only way to see the artifacting/bugs. Any help is appreciated.
Windows stuck at 10 year old update
My windows is stuck at a 10 year old update of windows and when I try to update it through the windows updater it just restarts after going 100% and does not update even through the settings it just says it is up to date but it is not... Any fix?
P.S: i got the SSD and ram of my laptop changed it started happening after this
My windows version is 1511 the os build is 10586.0 and i already have a windows key from the person I got the hardware changed but it says windows can't activate right now error code 0x8007007B
Hi First of all this problem happened a while ago (3 months ago), I remember disconnecting and connecting the cables, and it got back. Today I let my other pc on,a gaming pc, and went to the super market, 1,5 hours, it wasn’t running anything, when I got home this was happening, so i tested in my laptop and it’s the same problem. I changed refreshing rates and nothing
I’m having issues with my laptop. White lines and the upper image overlaps at the bottom.
Tonight, around 10 p.m., I plugged in my Asus TUF F17 laptop to charge. When I went to unplug it, I heard a buzzing sound, and the screen started looking like it does in the video (recorded by me).
I turned it off, took it apart to remove the SSD just in case, and used the opportunity to clean it (thinking dust might be the issue). Those large white lines disappeared, but there’s a ghost image overlaying the bottom part. Also, there’s a beeping sound coming from the area around the charging port.
This only happens if it’s not plugged in; if it is, the laptop returns to normal. It’s under warranty, but I’d like to know if there’s a name for what’s happening. What’s strange is that with the charger connected, it literally disappears, and with lower battery, the graphical error becomes less intense and frequent.
Here’s the link: https://youtube.com/shorts/dlSl8UA9-2I?si=EpzZTGlUZ06hvD3l
It’s under warranty. If it’s not a GPU issue, could it be related to voltage?
Hello, I have crashes in game which cause me to have a black screen, my keyboard turns off and nothing happens, I have to turn it back on manually.
At first I used HWINFO to see what was wrong, I was able to initially observe high temperatures on my CPU so I changed the thermal paste then the cooler, reinstalled my GPU drivers but still the same problem.
I'm out of ideas...
I was able to observe a significant difference in the "Power reporting deviation" which is the only abnormality in my results.
If you have any ideas of what it could be.
Just ask me if u need more information.
Thanks in advance.

I think my SSD (OS DRIVE)just died
I have a desktop PC using XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade as boot/OS SSD. Was running Windows 10. It had been having lots of blue screens lately but just now it was on, force restarted itself and ever since the force restart it can't seem to find the boot drive. In the bios it says no boot devices found. What's weird is the bios does seem to see it alongside all the other drives but the boot menu doesnt. I plugged in a windows recovery USB and tried startup repair but it quickly returned "startup repair couldn't repair your PC". I assume the drive is dead and that's that. Luckily a lot of my important files are on other drives. What are some further troubleshooting steps? It would be ideal if I could get windows to boot again to at least asses the damage and see if there's anything I can salvage
I was recently just doing some mindless scrolling on my laptop when I noticed after an hour of googling, it started to be slow and glitchy so I decided to power it off and reboot it. Once I powered back up, I continued my mindless, YouTube watching and Google scrolling when I noticed that it started to get slow again after about another 30-ish minutes to an hour. I shut off my computer again and tried to restart it when I entered the BitLocker recovery page. I entered my correct code and then my PC brought me to a blue error page saying my PC ran into a problem and needed to restart, there was also a QR code and stop code on this blue error page. From here on out every time the computer restarted it brought me right back to the BitLocker page, even after already entering the correct password and every time I entered the password again, it brought me to the same restart error page right after. I continued on for 5 more times until I finally took to google, where I found a help article with someone that had a similar error which was resolved by using the command prompt to disable BitLocker after “unlocking it” then rebooting. I followed these instructions and now I no longer see the bitlocker page right away (yay), however, now only the blue error page keeps popping up in a non stop loop (not yay). Pls help before I smash this thing myself out of pure rage. I should mention I have a lab report due tomorrow and this is very inconvenient.
Sony soundbar not working PLEASE HELP
Hello, I have a Sony soundbar (Model No.HT-S100F) that does not work. I have the exact same make and model that works with the same tv but I cannot use this one because im borrowing it. The broken one, when plugged in, all lights turn on and none of the buttons work, no matter what input I use be it HDMI or Optical the lights never turn off, I obviously can't reset because the buttons don't work and I've tried power resetting it, is there anything I can do? And yes I have a remote that works with the working one, but does nothing with the broken one.
The sender was pinbot@legal.pinterest.com which seemed to be legit based on my google search, and very similar to other Pinterest accounts I received e-mails from (noreply@account.pinterest.com; recommendations@discover.pinterest.com).
I did do a virus scan and it told me I have no malware or virus. I also checked my extensions in Chrome and I only have Honey (enabled), Web Safety (disabled - didn't even know I had this one), and Google Docs Offline.
I checked Add or Remove Programs if something is freshly installed there but I got nothing.
I get the option to turn off the notifications but I rather have this thing removed and make sure my PC and Browser are safe.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thank you!
This keeps happening randomly. Anyone know the reason ? Will this require a screen replacement ?
The microphone on my headset (an Astro A10) stopped working on Friday. I know it's not the headset cable because I connected it to my phone, and it worked fine. The cable is TRRS (4-pin), but my computer only has TRS (3-pin) inputs, so I concluded that the problem was the TRRS-to-TRS splitter I use. I bought a new splitter (Vention Y Splitter TRRS to TRS), but the microphone still isn’t working. I tried increasing the boost (sensitivity) of the microphone and only heard very loud and repeating static noise. I updated the audio drivers, tried Windows troubleshooting, checked all cable connections, restarted the PC, unplugged and plugged everything back in, etc.
I concluded (and I could be wrong) that the microphone input on my motherboard (PRIME A320M-K/BR) is defective. If that's the case, I have no idea what to do. Is it possible to replace just the TRS input port on the motherboard, or would I have to buy a new motherboard (which would be very costly for me)?
So I'm going to the cruise on one of the Costa ships and I have been there already and I know that they have samsung hospitality TV's, I want to connect my phone and stream some videos etc through it. I tried to get past that mode but I got no luck in guessing the password. Any ideas what it might be? I tried all of the classics and factory ones. Thanks
