Chosen Solution I work for a university surplus store, where data security is our number one priority, selling the products we fix is our second. With that being said, everything that we sell need to have the HDD either sanitized or destroyed, and our SSD’s are wiped with Parted Magic ATA Secure erase. As you may know, wiping SSD’s in a laptop can be tricky, as booting from a usb, the SSD does not wake, which means the ATA erase cannot be performed....

Chosen Solution I’ve received a Mid 2010 13” MacBook Pro from a friend, and the 7 key seems to not work. I was wondering what you’d recommend trying before replacing the keyboard assembly. I was also wondering if the keyboard for a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro of the same size would connect to the logic board, as they have the Launchpad key, instead of the dashboard key, and that’s what I prefer....

No clue if the seller just didn’t plug it in to a computer or what but is this a common issue with an easy fix or is this happens the monitor is toast.

Chosen Solution Hey, My iPhone 6 is stuck in a loop. The Apple logo appears, then the screen goes dark. I’ve tried restoring the phone through iTunes, but I keep getting error messages: Error 9 and Error 4013. Thoughts? Paul iTunes restore error 9 and 4013 both point to a hardware fault on the phone. Usually it’s the NAND flash memory chip (large chip on board) at fault which is used to store all of the system firmware and data / storage on the phone....
Chosen Solution Hi, I found a tv (Kunft 395vdlm14, tv led) in a trash can a couple of months ago. The tv does turn on but the backlight goes off after few seconds (10-15 seconds). I can still hear the audio and still see the video if I point the screen with a torchlight. I ordered a power board before finding out that it wasn’t the problem. So I disassembled the tv and turned on the leds, and I found out that the middle strip has one led turned off....

If so then unfortunately the machine has been reset and the messages would have been erased. Was the machine using the default answer greeting message provided or did you record a personal answer greeting message?...
