Chosen Solution Polarity, volts, amperage and interface are the variables. Suppose I have left over AC/DC adapter from one device. And it has the proper male female plugs to connect. What if the device (eg my desktop scanner) expects +voltage on the outer ring and - on the interior (+/-), but I plug in an adapter that is -/+? What if adapter voltage output is lower/higher than expected by the device?...
Chosen Solution I recently found a iPad mini 1 in a recycling center. The battery is a bit bloated and the glass is cracked. Can I use the glass and battery from a mini 2 to fix the mini 1? I dont need the LCD just the glass. Thanks! Hi Ethan, yes you can, the IC chip is the same one from the iPad Mini 1. Therefore, you can use the glass....

Chosen Solution I broke the retina screen on my air, and I’m curious to know if it’s replaceable and how difficult it would be. Sure it can be replaced but I’ve got no idea if you can find the part anywhere around, nor if the part is somehow paired to the Mac through the infamous T2 chip, maybe @danj already has some insight about it. Technically speaking there are no guides around yet, but connectors from the few teardown pictures remind me the one of Macbook A1534, thin and delicate flat cables easy to tear if one has no previous experience....
Chosen Solution Can I use a normal battery for mobile (3.7v) in the jbl micro wireless? The original battery has a transistor (or whatever) together. If so, what would change in the functionalities? Sadly you’ll need to get the proper Lithium Ion battery for your device, you can’t use just any battery. The device which you identified on the battery is a thermal sensor to monitor the temp when the battery is being charged so the battery is not over charged....
Chosen Solution Hey! Literally MONTHS ago I was staying at a friend’s house, and accidentally connected her MacBook Air MagSafe Charger to my 13” MacBook Pro Retina Display Mid-2014 model. Our chargers were plugged in right next to each other, and I simply got them confused. I didn’t notice anything wrong, though, because the MagSafe light turned green and my computer appeared to be charging. I closed my laptop and fell asleep....
Chosen Solution TSOP is a thermal sensor error within the Trackpad cable. The sensor is just at the end where it connects to the trackpad. So you do need to replace the cable to get the system back to working properly. As I explained your system is running in reduced clocking CPU Safe Mode! Which explains your trackpad pointer being jumpy now! You may want to get a good thermal monitoring app like TG Pro That will allow you to see whats happening!...
Chosen Solution Have anyone tested 2x8GB RAM on a Lenovo Notebook Thinkpad T400? If yes, does it work? Any problems? Type of RAM Modules? Thanks a lot! Maritn Here’s what the Lenovo support doc states: Detailed specifications - ThinkPad R400, T400. From what I can find this system is limited to 8 GB total RAM (2 x 4 GB modules). I don’t see any references on anyone trying to push this system beyond that....
Chosen Solution I need to replace the internal bulb of a Siemens microwave and I see internal bulbs for different brands look all alike, are they standard now? I mean I can just buy whatever I find on amazon even if it says is for another brand? Image for reference: @veetee they are not standardized but yes, you can use whatever brand you like for as long as it a. fits the connection and mounting bracket, and b....
Chosen Solution Is there a source for that plug, and is it reasonable to repair it? Hi @ajward It is interesting the the adapter’s specifications state 19.5V 7.7A whereas the Asus specifications for the laptop’s power adapter say 19V 6.3A for both the 150W and 120W laptop model. I don’t think that the Asus website is totally correct as 120W @ 19V = 6.3A and 150W @ 19V = 7.88A, (19....
Chosen Solution Battery light flickering on dash what’s the problem It sounds like you are starting to have alternator problems. From my experience, the light only flashes if the alternator does not produce any charge. Whenever the brushes on the inside of the alternator are starting to go, or the voltage regulator is starting to fail, the charge light will start flickering/flashing in a somewhat regular pattern. If the light is flickering in a very irregular pattern, check the fuses, belts, all wires and connectors for corrosion, and the dash bulb itself....
Chosen Solution I have a Samsung T5 external boot drive. What kind of speed transfer can I get through a Thunderbolt 2 cable into a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter into the drive? Currently using usb. Which seems slow. Not sure of my USB ports on this old IMac. It says usb 2.0 in system data, but apple says 3.0. Trying to get as fast as possible, be it that it only has Thunderbolt 2....
Chosen Solution Hello, I have split water over my MBP. The screen is complete black. I have attached MBP to the external monitor with a cable. It works OK. But today I have noticed that the black screen is actually working. When I play a movie, I can see the silhouette of moving images. The screen is complete black but if carefully looked I can see the moving images. It is like the screen is dimmed and the screen brightness is 1%....
Chosen Solution Hello- My macbook pro 15” from late 2011 is having the typical issue of black screen on boot: took it to apple and was told the display was busted so I’m now testing it with an external. The external monitor does not seem to be detected in this process (or maybe this is just the graphics card not working?) as the power light on the monitor stays orange and nothing ever seems to trigger anything on the screen....
Chosen Solution I have a Starbucks Barista espresso maker and I took apart the portafilter (I think it is model 226550650 made by Saeco) to clean it but while doing so the tiny wire spring inside came off. I need assembly instructions in order to put it back together properly. There are two springs inside that portafilter, do you mean the large barrel-shaped one or the smaller, L-shaped one? Here’s a picture of the proper spring placement; in that picture the handle of the portafilter would be oriented towards the bottom....
Chosen Solution I already have an amp with an internal DAC. I would love to bypass the MacBook internal DAC and send a digital signal directly to my amp for it to convert. Any leads? @paipaupao Sorry you only have two port options the analog headphone or the digital USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. I work with some pro’s and students which use mac’s for composing, editing and creating music as well as foley and electronic music artists which need the full deep fidelity for production work....
Chosen Solution Hey guys, I bought a replacement rear facing camera for my iPhone 6S Plus from iFixIT, (iPhone 6 Plus Rear Camera) and when I reasselbmed, neither camera works and the flashlight no longer works. I tried it with FaceTime, etc, all I get is the black screen when I open the camera app. I have restarted, closed the app, even did a full restore and setup as a new phone....
Chosen Solution Does anyone know how to bypass passcode on iPhone 6, using Siri hack? We recently had a family member pass, and would like to get into phone to have his pics and msgs and whatnot. He must’ve disabled Siri feature on lock screen. Can’t do reset, because we’d lose everything. Help!! I’d call Apple. You may need a copy of the death certificate or a letter Testamentary and the request made by the executor....
