No power. How do I replace main board?

I was house sitting for my friend and her LG refrigerator all of a sudden died. Model: LBC22520SW.
I googled for this problem and found a guy who repaired his frig that had a similar problem and it turned out to be a burnt out fuse: (
http://thisdoesnotcompute.org/2013/04/21/fixing-a-completely-dead-lg-refrigerator/)
since the fuse was soldered onto the motherboard, I had to ask a techie friend to help (well, he's an over qualified techie -- actually a retired aeronautic engineer); but once we replaced the fuse, the refrigerator went back to work.
Cost of repair: $6.25 for the fuse, and $0.23 for the soldering wire (he used a high grade copper wire) vs. possible $300 for an "official" repair.

I am tryn to download software to install brother mfc 8220 fax printer copier scanner pc fax machine. and having trouble getting right software and loaction for it. using windows xp

Assuming you're in the USA, go to brother-usa.com's download page. Select the Multi-function family, then your specific model in the box that appears, then your operating system. Agree to the software license, and you'll get a page of drivers & stuff. If you have a fast Internet connection, go for the complete package.
There may also be a program to uninstall the drivers. If you've been trying to connect & use the machine, start by unplugging it from the computer and run that uninstall program. Windows often tries to install an almost-good-enough driver, and the real Brother drivers don't play with that.
Then run the setup program for the driver package you downloaded. It will tell you when it's time to plug in the printer. A computer reboot may be required when it's done. The installation program will tell you.

CD NO COMPATABLE WITH VISTA ?

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's services.

Vista requires a plug-n-play software, that can be downloaded from HP's website. Go to HP.com, support, enter model number and choose operating system (Vista). The page will allow you to download, free, the plug and play software.

* Note: Vista sometimes allows you to just plug the printer in and it automatically installs the plug n play (without software). You can try this also.

Since i got windows xp my cannon i70 nolonger is printing

Try to re-plug the printer to another USB port on your computer, it should automtically detect the printer as a new hardware. If it didn't, try these steps:
  1. Run Add Printer Wizard of Windows (from Control Panel> Printers and Faxes).
  2. Choose Local Printer (it's okay if it didn't find Plug n' Play printer).
  3. Select USB Virtual printer port (assuming that your printer is connected through USB to your computer).
  4. When it ask to choose the manufacturer and model, just select the closest match to your printer.
If the model couldn't be found (or not even a close match to Canon i70), you will need to download driver from Canon website.

My kid was playing around with my k800i now when i switch it on all i get is enter phone lock code and i dont know it so how do i get round this and get my phone to work again

It depends if you kid set a phone lock code on the phone or whether it was merely set to ask for it. There are normally 2 default codes used. One is 0000 the other is 1234. If neither of these work you need to ask a phone techie. Have a look in your manual-it will tell you which it is. There are however 2 different phone locks-one locks the phone and the other is a sim lock. If your sim works in another phone then it is the phone lock. If it has locked the sim then your phone operator should be able to help you.

MFC 440-CN out of memory error, fax memory is full I cn't send any more faxes, I called Brother tech support they told me that there is no way to clear the memory, that I had to leave the printer unplugged...

Try this :
To resolve this situation do the following:

1. If another operation is in progress (example: receiving a fax,
printing, etc), press STOP/EXIT, wait until it's completed and then try
again.

2. Clear the machines memory. This can be done by turning off Advanced
Fax Operations.

a. Press MENU.

b. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose Fax.

c. Press OK.

d. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose Advanced Fax Operation.

e. Press OK.

f Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose Fwd/Page/Store.

g. Press OK.

h. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW to choose Off.

i. Press OK.

j. Press STOP/EXIT.

If received faxes are left in your machine's memory when you change the
Advanced Fax Operations and a backup copy has already been printed, the
LCD will ask:

Erase All Fax?

Yes - Press 1
No - Press 2

If received faxes are left in your machine's memory when you change the
Advanced Fax Operations and a backup copy has not yet been printed, the
LCD will ask:

Print All Fax?

Yes - Press 1
No - Press 2

# If you press 1, faxes in the memory will be erased or printed before
the setting changes.

# If you press 2, faxes in the memory will not be erased or printed and
the setting will be unchanged.

k. Try your operation again.

Good luck...
