I googled S4 glass replacement in New Jersey and got quite a few hits for aftermarket cell phone repair shops which can replace the glass. You're lucky, if everything works then the LCD is undamaged -...

Sometimes it can be something simple: check the inside of the distributor cap. If the seal in the distributor shaft is leaking, oil can make its way inside the cap. If there's enough oil, it can reduc...

You could test the bulbs with a 12V source, but generally the easiest thing to do is to try a new bulb. If the filament broke in the right place it'll look intact short of a magnifying glass.

Is there any 8' speakers available on the market?
I can't find such size of speakers.
There`s a few. Look for 210mm, they seem to be more commonly listed in me...
