Xbox 360 Wireless Headset Repair – Battery Replacement

Are you having problems with your Xbox 360 wireless headset not charging or not turning on?

First, you will want to try the following possible fixes:

• Try fully charging the headset (if it’s not turning on).
• Make sure the headset is at room temperature (it may have issues if it is too hot or too cold).

If after trying the previous solutions, your headset still won’t charge or turn on, it may be that the rechargeable battery inside is dead and needs to be replaced.  We have found that 75% of the no power problems on the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless headsets are due to a bad battery.

If you have determined that your headset needs a new battery, we have a wireless headset battery available for sale for much cheaper than buying a new headset.

Installation is easy; if you are using one of our batteries, simply solder the cables onto the board – red to yellow, and black to blue.  The battery with the yellow and blue cables will be replaced with our battery with the red and black cables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are able to do some simple soldering, this is a fairly easy and inexpensive fix.

How to Clean Cell Phone Display

After constant touching with your fingers and your face, you cell phone screen gets pretty oily and dull looking. Using the proper items, you can get your cell phone display shiny and clean again. Follow this guide to clean up your cell phone screen.

You Need:

• Eye glasses lens cleaner wipes or laptop screen wipes
• Clean dry microfiber cloth

OR

• Isopropyl alcohol diluted 50/50 with water
• Clean dry microfiber cloth (possibly two if it’s small)

Instructions:

If you are using one of the pre-moistened lens or laptop screen wipes, then you can gently rub your screen clean with that and dry any excess moisture immediately after with the clean, dry microfiber cloth.

OR

If you are using the alcohol mixture method, make sure that you apply the liquid to the cloth and NOT directly to the screen. Once your cloth is SLIGHTLY moistened, you can gently rub your screen clean and then dry any excess moisture with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

Other Tips:

• I once saw a video of someone using toothpaste to clean there cell phone display, don’t do that.
• Do not use any household cleaning supplies, such as Windex, as it can damage your screen in the long run.
• Avoid using any cloth other than microfiber (such as paper towel) as these can cause scratches on your screen.

What is the best GPS brand (2011)?

The most popular GPS brands on the market right now are Garmin, TomTom and Magellan.  While Magellan is a good brand and does perform well most of the time, I am going to focus on the top two brands by far, which are Garmin and TomTom.  Looking through many different GPS review sites, you will notice that the top reviewed devices are most always from either Garmin or TomTom.

Garmin is by far the highest selling brand, taking up over 50% of the market.  Garmin GPS units are easy to use and have many features available.  Garmin GPS uses NAVTEQ maps, which are more complete and accurate in North America.

TomTom units on the other hand a far more customizable than Garmin and because of that, can be slightly more difficult to operate.  TomTom GPS units use Tele Atlas maps, which tend to be more accurate in European countries.

So, in summary, if you are looking for the best, easy to use, and full featured GPS on the market or want the most accurate North America maps, choose a Garmin.  If, on the other hand, you are tech savvy and are looking for a more customizable GPS or want the most accurate European maps, choose a TomTom.

Mount Your TomTom GPS EasyPort Suction Mount to Your Windshield

When you first receive a new EasyPort mount it sometimes requires a few attempts to get it to suction initially.  Please follow our video instructions below and attempt it a number of times until it mounts.  Because of the nature of the suction mechanism it has to be “broken in” until it properly seals.

You can purchase this TomTom EasyPort Mount from us.
