$4000 laptop btw

was literally just watching youtube videos when my whole youtube froze up. once i refreshed the page 10 times it finally loaded back up but seconds later i got this black bar on my screen. i tried restarting the laptop and stuff but nothing fixes it. it’ll either be a solid black bar like in first picture or it will kinda go away like the second picture. i took a screen shot and the bars don’t show in the screen shot.

i ran out of apple care warranty. i can do most repairs myself as long it doesnt not require soldering. what am i looking at here?

Why is my Kärcher K5 pressure washer stuck on low pressure?

I’ve had my Kärcher K5 pressure washer for a while and it’s been working fine until recently. Now it won’t go above the lowest pressure setting, even when I switch it to the highest mode. I already tried cleaning the filter where the hose connects, but it didn’t really change anything. The filter wasn’t even that dirty, so I’m not sure if that was the issue. I’m starting to wonder if it’s something with the nozzle, the hose, or maybe even the internal parts. It’s just frustrating because it used to work perfectly and now it feels weak. I’ve seen people mention that pressure washers can have issues with blockages or worn out parts, and even discussions about how internal components vary depending on manufacturing sources, including online linked supply chains, which made me think it could be something inside. Has anyone dealt with this before? What else should I check?

Can I coat these lenses back to clarity?

Small scratches made these hard to see through so I high grit polished them out (7000), but it left this haze and removed a touch of the color. Did the wd40 trick temporarily and they look great and can even see through them clearly, but then they revert back to this.

Tried clearview lens protector but that was a scam or just not for this at all. Seemed to do nothing.

Should I try and have them re-AR coated? or is there something I can do myself that im missing?

SN30 pro battery upgrade possibly bricked it

I have an SN30 pro which i bought during the pandemic (this is the version that doesnt have hall effect) and the battery (upon opening is a 451860 480mah directly soldered into the board) recently seems to not hold a charge for long anymore. I decided to buy a similar model of battery, and upon the evening of replacing the battery, it worked until the next morning which the controller failed to show any signs of life, even plugging it in. The battery showed 0v under the multimeter but even after removing the battery and plugging it in, no lights showed and no interaction with the desktop. Could anyone have some insight with this? I seem to have misplaced or thrown away the old battery but here is a picture of the new one i bought. ( Unrelated, i broke my multimeter right after by doing something stupid, which means I may not be able to show any voltage readings. )

Concealed valve dripping after changing tap

I decided to go change my own tap and it went great until I noticed very slow dripping from the concealed valve. I only closed the valve and the detached and reattached the hot water. Now I'm afraid to open the valve again. Can I fix this myself? Help

Dyson vacuum roller not spinning

So I have this Dyson vacuum that all of a sudden the roller will not spin anymore, I took the roller head down and thinking it was the corrosion on the pins but still not working correctly, so I opened the ball, and took off one of the cover. On the second picture, there’s this little snap on bracket that was popped open, it seems to me a installation issue? The bracket cover has stoppers to keep the contacts in places, if the cover doesn’t close in place, the contacts will move out of space and the roller header won’t plug into the contacts or some not secure enough contact, thus stop working.
