Chosen Solution Hi When the iPhone is powered on and in iOS it charges without a problem. However, when it dies and turns off a red battery icon shows (without a lightning cable on the screen) and remains in this state and does not power on again. Why is this and how do I fix it? Thanks This symptom points to one of the charging IC’s called Tristar being faulty. It will need to be replaced by a repair shop who offers microsoldering....

Chosen Solution I have a 45” samsung led smart tv part no. un46d6900wf and it recently has black grid lines appear horizontally and vertically. It also has colored lines running only vertically and the colored lines can appear in different locations and change locations. The TV has never been hit and was wall mounted out of reach for all if its life. I Tried re flowing both the main mother board and t-con board by putting it in the oven at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes but it doesn’t seem to have made anything worse or better....

Chosen Solution Here’s what I’m seeing on my MacBook screen: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1478968/Mobile%2… The colors flash a bit or if they’re steady then changing the angle of the screen can affect them. Playing with the angle of the screen or tapping the screen gently can also sometimes make it go away. Apple said they wouldn’t cover it for me (EU laws require a 2 year warranty basically), because of this bent corner on the lid: http://dl....

The screen is a solid mass of stripes ranging from yellow to blue,(full spectrum) all about apixel wide....

Chosen Solution I have the Early-2013 Education iMac with the Core i3-3225 and HD graphics 4000. I was thinking of upgrading to the i7-3770S which also uses 4000 graphics and the same socket. I understand the TDP of the processors are different from one another, but they should be using the same logic board as the late 2012 21.5 which shipped with the i7-3770s. I am actually awaiting the components now to do this exact upgrade....

Chosen Solution Hello everyone, My 4th gen ipod nano works fine, until I hit menu button. Then it enters on a reboot loop and after a while, it either starts working fine, or it asks to restore. Sometimes I have to restore more than once until it starts working again. I have no guaranty. I’ve tried 5 R’s. I’ve restored it on both mac and pc. I’ve done hard formats. Since it works some of the times, do you think it could be a cable that is not well connected, or some other easy fix ?...

Chosen Solution My [1/!] Key and [Ctrl] key are broken. I removed them to clean after I spilled a little juice on it, but as I was putting it in the pins that would lock them into the clip broke. The clip and rubber piece is fix on the actual keyboard but the key itself no longer has anything to “snap” it in place. Is there anyway I can replace the keys?...

Chosen Solution Just as a sample, it took 1 min to write that question title because after 2-3 keystrokes, the beachball would show up. With the Yosemite upgrade my MacBook Pro was OK but after El Capitan I started noticing the slowness but it was still ok. Now with Sierra upgrade, my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) has become completely unusable. A spinning beachball now shows up after just 3 key strokes, 3-5 seconds before the menu opens on right click, even watching a video now is an impossible task....

Chosen Solution Replaced rear camera due to dust inside the lens. Now there is a slight beeping sound like an alarm. I didnt realize until I recorded a video and the beeping was in every single video. Every time i open up camera there is a beeping sound but if I switch to front camera, it goes away. Should I replace the rear camera again? It’s a defective rear camera, I’ve gotten plenty of defective rear cameras before for a iPhone 5 and 6 plus....

Chosen Solution Hi everyone I was replacing my rear housing case of my iPhone 6. But when i was unplugging the connector of the volume buttons, it broke off. :( If you look at the picture (https://www.dropbox.com/s/4o7zp7gd3uvb0a…) you can see that I have put a circle around the connector that broke off. It’s supposed to be at the place of the arrow. Does someone know if this could be fixed (soldering or glueing?...

Chosen Solution camera indicates low battery and shuts down There are several reasons why this might happen. Bad batteries. Compact cameras have considerable power drain. When using non-rechargeable batteries, use premium quality alkaline cells only. Cheap carbon-zinc cells won’t work well. Also, beware of counterfeit “premium” batteries. If you’re using rechargeable (NiMH) cells, the cells may have degraded - this may happen for several reasons. Standard NiHM cells have considerable self-discharge, leave them on the shelf for a few months after charge and they may lose more than half of their charge....

Chosen Solution Hi, Can 512Mb SSD be upgraded to 1Tb on my macbook pro retina 15" mid 2015 ? I mean if yes, where can I find 1Tb SSD, and wich price ? I supposed warranty is off if I replace it ? Best Hi! Yes, you can upgrade, this guide will show you how and this is the component you will need. It will void your warranty tho.

Chosen Solution I am wondering if the motherboard of a 2017 iMac, which is using the PCIe port for a 2 TB SSD blade, does it have another drive port (SATA) available to add a typical SSD drive? If there is, is it where the mechanical portion of a fusion drive would be hooked up? Will a SSD drive attached to that port be seen by the system as an additional drive or as some type of extension of the current 2 TB SSD blade?...

Chosen Solution I see you have the complete lcd display upper case for sale, for over $200, but I really only need the glass. Is there an option to purchase the glass only? Yes. it can be bought. Let me check to see if ifixit has them but I know eBay does. [linked product missing or disabled: IF161-050-1]

Chosen Solution Apple MacBook Pro “Core 2 Duo” 2.6 17" Is it possible to replace the thermal sensor that’s attached to the heat sink? Or do I have to replace the entire heat sink? Lets try this first. If you have your system put back together can you download this fan & sensor monitoring app: Temperature Gauge Pro. There are others I just like this one. The free trial version should be enough for now....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have an iBook G4 800MHz, 256MB RAM, 12". I am aware that the system requirements of leopard are higher than my iBook’s capabilities and also I do not have a Leopard Install Disc, but I do have an eMac that runs a suitable version of leopard. My question: Can I take an image (10.5.8) from my eMac and put it on my iBook (as specced above)?...

Chosen Solution My iphone 5s is icloud locked and i was thinking that if i replace it’s motherboard with iphone 5c’s motherboard? Will it work or not? Won’t happen. The motherboard has all of the necessary components in itself, so the motherboard is basically the phone. Even if the 5s motherboard worked with a 5c case (which it doesn’t) the phone would still be the same locked iPhone 5s. The connections are different, the screen is different, it just won’t work....

Chosen Solution So I really want to see if I can use this laptop as a monitor for a desktop computer, if it involves tweaking the computer could you please explains how Boy you are trying hard to recycle! ;-} Sadly its not really possible. There are too many dependences for this to work and the old iBook screens display is not very good for what most systems need today.
