Chosen Solution Is late2013’s 802.11ac airport card fully compatible with mid2012? I have a new airport time capsule, and I’d like to see backing up faster. So basically someone needs to get the 3 antenna AC card and test it to see if it works and how good/bad is the throughput.

Chosen Solution Trying to upgrade memory but can’t open the memory access door on my Mac. Apple says use a Phillips #2 screwdriver, which I did, but screw won’t come out. It seems to be turning (somewhat) but after a half hour it hasn’t advanced at all. It sounds like it is stripped and you have a few options. Try to pry the door out anyway with the screw in there....

Chosen Solution My car has been sitting for about a month while I was traveling . I put another battery I had charged up in the car, but, only the lights, radio and wipers will go on and the car won’t even make a clicking noise to start the car . I’d take the batteries in to a Auto parts place and have them tested. With the solenoid not clicking I suspect there is just to little charge on the battery....

Chosen Solution Hi I have an ipad mini 2 - model A1489 - when plugged in on charge it shows the lightning indicator, showing it is charging, but never gets past 2% and will switch off straight away when its disconnected, which indicates its not holding charge either. I’ve opened it to inspect it, looked at the circuit board under a microscope and can’t see anything missing. This is, by the way, the first time its been opened....

Chosen Solution I am considering repairing my iPhone X from home with an iFixit OLED kit. I’m pretty handy and I repaired an iPhone 5s with a barebones screen kit a couple years ago. The problem is that there is a small bend to the chassis, on the outer casing of the phone, right where the charging port is. At the moment, the bottom corners of the screen ride slightly high in the case as the kink is pushing up the centre of the bottom edge of the screen....

Chosen Solution Hello, I want to start doing board lever repair for iPhones. I am on a really cheap budget, and I need a really cheapo soldering pencil and soldering tweezers. Doesn’t anyone have any recommendations? Soldering tweezers and soldering pencils are usually way over your budget. Best thing to do is get a cheap hot air station and a soldering iron, so you can use hot air to remove the component, put fresh solder on using the iron, then use hot air to put the new component on....

Chosen Solution Oversize Drives: will 12.5mm hard drives and blu-ray optical drives fit in the mid 2010 Mac Mini? I already answered the question about the hard drive here Hard drive height, 12.5 mm or only 9.5 mm? philip’s extremely short answer is right. apple does not support blu ray - you can’t watch them under osx - the only way to watch them on apple hardware is a windows installation (wirtual or with bootcamp)...

Chosen Solution Hey! I’m recently experiencing an issue with my customers iPhone 6 Plus. The problem is if you go to Settings -> Bluetooth you can only see the Bluetooth heading and instead of the enable/disable toggle switch there’s some kind of ’loading’ icon.

Chosen Solution Hi @nuka_kola and @danj thank you for letting us know it’s possible! I also have a matt screen 2011 model 15" MBP that died due to gpu failure. Do you think I could swap in a mid-2012 retina logic board? Or you’d rather go with a non-retina ones?

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 5 with 32 gig. I never used iCloud so it is not backed up. I have many many pictures on it. While overseas the screen quit recognizing my touch and will not respond. The screen looks fine, the physical buttons work, but I cannot unlock it. Since I was overseas I had data services OFF, and Location services off, etc…. Now I cannot access my iPhone and although I have a service contract and insurance Apple will not fix it....

Chosen Solution I am not receiving the performance that I had expected. Videos and games look like they are sputtering during play. I cannot open more than a few tabs before the Chromebook comes to a crawl. mibolsa, SWAP is not quite the same thing as RAM although they do essentially the same thing from a higher level looking down, but swap is far slower and implemented with a storage device such as a hard drive or a solid state drive instead of memory....
