Samsung Android Phone: Why is my Samsung galaxy S21 5G not charging/booting?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 21:11:45 -0700

I had plugged my phone into an old charger, and noticed it was not charging very well and kept going on and off. The phone then shut off, and I was not able to boot again. It was also very hot when charging. When I got home I tried to use my charger, but it showed a liquid in port icon. So I stupidly sprayed some contact cleaner into the port which I have done a few times before with no issues. After cleaning out the gunk and letting it stand vertically for a few minutes, I tried to charge it again. It started freaking out, and the bottom half of the screen was flashing a light pink and then an orange color. If I try to hold down the power or volume buttons it will do this a few more times but not respond. I can very faintly see the initial charging icon but it doesn't seem to be gaining battery. I can also see the samsung logo as it tries to boot, but then the phone shuts off again. I'm not sure if the issue is with the port, battery, screen, or something else but I just want to try to get it to boot so I can backup the data. I'm not sure if I should keep trying to charge it or let it die. Advice appreciated!

Lomo Instant: Why won't the film eject?

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 20:58:05 -0700

Every time I take a picture, the flash goes if the setting is on, the clicking noise of capture happens, and I can hear the motor trying to push the film out, but it doesn’t. What could be causing this problem? What is broken? How do I fix it?

Lomography won’t repair this for me because my uncle bought it for me as a gift on Amazon

I fully charged my DigiLand DL1010Q but the batter only lasts for a short amount of time. My device used to hold charge for hours upon hours, and now it only lasts an hour, if that.

Craftsman Electric Drill 31510113 2015: Chuck removal on a Craftsman power drill

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:21:51 -0700

I have a model 315. 101 100 that I bought many years ago. I would like to attach it to a Craftsman Dowling jig which requires the removal of the Chuck. Most Chucks unscrew counterclockwise once a screw is removed, from the barrel of the Chuck.

Using a bright light, I see no screw, nor hex nut to remove. The base of Chuck has two flattened sides so as to accept an incredible thin wrench 🔧. The wrench might have come with the drill when bought, but is presently absent, and local tool stores carry no such wrench.

What do you recommend ? Can I lock the Chuck on a 90° HEX wrench and strike it hard in a CCW direction ?

Sony Handycam HDR-CX580V: Why does my screen have a pink fuzzy/glitchiness to it

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:17:09 -0700

Hello everyone of ifixit! I have a Sony handycam hdr-cx580v and just as I was about to use it from purchasing from eBay, the whole screen had turn pink and the "bug"/internal memory icon keeps moving back and forth unable to read its own data it seems, the thing was shipped out via USPS so I wouldn't be surprised they banged it around (and the seller had poor packaging as it came with its original box) thought I have tried mostly everything from resetting it to removing the battery and leaving it alone for a good 10mins. The menu and settings stuff still works, but when I go to try to repair/format it's internal memory it doesn't allow me too. I did do a lot of research and it seems like it could be a worn ribbon cable from the screen to the motherboard to the Sensor
