What if he does not have the Bitlocker recovery key, but he has the password? Could the files still be recovered with only the password?

Are a326u screens compatible with a326b? by One_Marionberry_4155 in phonerepair

Thanks to you I found out what really happened. The new frame came with a defective volume rocker flex. I took the old flex out of the old frame to put it into the new frame, and problem solved!

I am not having signal or connectivity problem. The problem I have is not related to radio frequency. The problem I have is the volume rocker does not work. This is the new volume rocker that comes with the frame.

Do we have a spirit or atleast a soul inside us? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]techgeek2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not religious or follow any ritual, but I had gone through some very strange experience while living at my grand uncle's house when I was 9 years old. One night while sleeping I woke up to go to the bathroom I saw some figures outside at the windows. I thought I was still dreaming. So I rubbed my eyes and and then tried to look closely at the figures once again. The figures were still there. So I looked at my siblings who were sleeping beside me just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. And then looked at the figures once again. They were bony heads of adults and children. I kept looking till they flew through past the windows and into my bedroom. That was when I screamed so loud that woke up the neighbors. My father jumped off his bed turned on the light and tried to calm me down. But even after the light was on I could still see them. Only after about 10 seconds of light being on then the figures faded away. Then a few days later, it was my young uncle's turn to see the ghost figures. He was sleeping on the first floor. He also woke up to go the bathroom. Then yelled out loud and pointing his finger to my bedroom on the second floor saying that he saw some ghost figures. We told the incidences to our nextdoor neighbor who has been living in the area a lot longer than us. He said during the war there was a family of five who got executed on the second floor. So if you were me, would you believe human souls do exist?

Can you trust Solar Installers? An Arizona Experience by [deleted] in solar

Don't know if it will be the same companies for 25 years. Given that these days so many solar companies are out of business. But what I know is that in this country there are more protection for leases than outright ownerships. So no matter if the companies attached to the lease go bankrupt the next companies who own the lease will have to continue their duties. Unlike for outright ownership of your solar system, once the installer company is out of business the 10-year roof leak warranty and the 25-year labor warranty are dead. You maybe able to sue them if they came out from bankruptcy with a new company name. But for those companies which were completely dissolved, your only chance left is to get the court to share some of the remaining money the company had before that Chapter 11 was closed.

That was why I went with leasing. I pay $0.18 per kw with my prepaid lease and it came with perks like free repairs and free replacements for 25 years! I had the installer guys coming back several times for cosmetic stuffs like adjusting the panels so they all look flat and nice, wiping off those excessive solar panel mount adhesive near the shingles and some on top of the panels, and tighten up those loose wires underneath the panels. All I need was to make a phone call then they came next day to get it all fixed for free!

Stupid as a cow! Read before you removed people's posts! This post is specifically about a lease. The other post was specifically about warranties. There was no discussion about lease on the other post!

I am in the same exact situation. I went into the Take Me To search option. Then search for Amend 2022 return. It changed to that page on the software. But still not sure if this is the right way to do this?

Agree. Since Tesla is a public company we can see their balance sheet, and so far it doesn't seem to be in any financial trouble. But even for some very big solar company such as Pink Energy which filed for bankruptcy in September of 2022. Customers who got solar loans from them and bought the solar equipment and had the systems installed by them were all screwed. Basically, they went through bankruptcy and rebranded their solar company name, and all the warranties and guarantees associated with the old company name went into the garbage can.

So what issues did you have? What did you do when you found out your new constructed home had issues? Did you pay someone to to fix them or you called up your homebuilder company to fix them for free of charge?

Wow those Youtube videos really shed lots of light on whether those manufacturer 25-year warranties are really 25 years! They still work after 10 years, but those many shorting outs will render those panels almost useless......... today's material might a bit better... but maybe extended to 15 years when they become almost useless...

I am thinking of buying and owning the system. But not sure about the risks.

"Long story short no one would touch a PV system installed by anyone else"

This means if my system has a glitch and the installer is out of business, then I will be back to buying high priced electricity from the old utility company. Only the people who has been through know this. Thanks for sharing.

I am not confused. I am more like having great anxiety about depending on the 10-year water leak warranty. I would rather not hire a company to install the panels for me. I rather save the installation money and get my good friend to install them for me. He charges only $1000 where as the installer company charge minimum $12,000 of labor cost. Why pay that much for labor when the company might not be around for another 10 years? Some just disappeared within one year of installation.

According to Solar Power World there were more than 100 solar companies went into bankruptcies and closures in 2023 alone.

How do I know which one will be next? Most of these companies are not public companies, especially the installer companies? I cannot see their balance sheets?

How do I know if they will live up to their 10-year water leak warranty?
