Chosen Solution Would it be possible to get a new PS3 and use it’s motherboard to replace the motherboard in an YLOD’d PS3? Like most people with YLOD I am trying to get the data off of my Hard Drive. Will it make me reformat the hard drive? alienkid619, yes it will eliminate your YLOD, but you will still run into trouble with your HDD. I beleive that any drive formatted by a PS3 is unreadable except on the PS3 it was formatted on....

Chosen Solution I recently acquired a 24" iMac that seems to have come from a smoker’s home. There is some gray discoloration on the glass, like fog. It is especially apparent when the machine is powered off or the display is sleeping. What’s the best way of going about cleaning both the inside of the glass and the LCD itself without damaging any coating that may be on either? Order the suction cups to remove the glass....

Chosen Solution Good afternoon. Need help identifying a component that has deteriorated due to oxidation on the board. There were two faulty components an inductor and a component that appears to be a transistor but is very small. There are other similar components on the board, but I can’t identify them. The first image shows the location of the component, very close to the coil that is damaged: Here’s an image of the component similar to what’s missing:...

Chosen Solution Hi, So while I was opening up my Nexus 5X, I noticed that a small metal connector had fallen off. These small connectors touch contacts on the phone’s back cover; it got me worrying if I had broken something. I was just wondering if the connectors do anything and/or if there is a problem when they come off. Here’s a picture of the connectors I’m talking about: Have you noticed Bluetooth WiFi GPS issues since breaking these?...

Chosen Solution Hi, This week I’ve placed 4 new OEM batteries into 4 iPhone 6S’s. All 4 customers came back with the same issue: when the percentage goes below 20%, the phone starts to lag so much they cannot use it anymore. As soon as it is plugged into a charger, the issue disappears. For the past 7-8 years, i’ve been repairing iPhones, and last year alone I’ve replaced at least 70 iPhone batteries without any complaint....

Chosen Solution Recently my macbook won’t charge unless it is powered off. I have tried resetting the SMC and the issue persists. At first resetting the machine’s PRAM would allow it to charge normally but recently this has stopped working. If I shut down the laptop and allow it to charge for ~20 mins then power the laptop on it will charge normally. If I remove the charger before the laptop fully charges and plug it back in the laptop will stop charging and the battery will slowly begin to drain while showing the message below:...

Chosen Solution Hi everyone! I’ve searched around the web and i can’t seem to find an answer. The other day i replaced my iPhone’s battery, and ever since the screen wouldn’t turn on and when plugged in it would just beep every few seconds or so, no apple logo, nothing. Just a black screen, with no power. When plugged in, vibrates as if it were turning on, and then the beeping begins....

Chosen Solution I followed the guide on this iFixit for replacing the hard drive on my iMac model but when I reconnected everything and turned on the Mac, you could hear the classic dong boot but the screen remained black. I tried to connect with the adapter to an external monitor, but it is always black. If earlier worked perfectly without any problem, what could have happened? I tried all combinations of keys at startup, but nothing has changed …....

Chosen Solution So I got a good deal on a max spec late 2013 MBP, the only problem is that the keyboard backlight doesn’t turn on, the rest of the machine works fine. Is this something I’ll have to replace? If so what part do I need? Remove the bottom cover, disconnect the battery, disconnect and check the backlight connector (to the right of the left fan, at the top of the board)....

Chosen Solution My Mid-2014 15” Retina MBP has a broken screen (A3198 emc 2881). My friend has a 15” 2012 15” Retina MBP (A1398 emc 2512) he no longer uses. Is there any way I can replace my faulty screen with his, or are the two totally incompatible? Sorry if my question is stupid, I’m having a hard time finding out online. Many thanks, Dan.
