Chosen Solution Hi,iv recently replaced a screen on 6s plus.it didn’t turn on after but still rang!iv just gone to take a look at it again and the charge symbol has come on the screen,I’m currently charging it.does this mean the screen works and the repair was a success??the symbol didn’t come on before.thanks. Probably successful repair. Usually these issues on 6s and 6s plus models usually result in backlight circuit needing repair due to the battery being still connected and screen was unplugged / plugged from logic board which can result in the backlight circuit getting blown....

Chosen Solution Decided to try and boot up my parents old Dell dimension 2400. The machine started up but nothing is showing on my monitor. What could be the problem? Check if the monitor has a button to change the input or display type. Try the monitor on a different PC and see if the monitor works on that. Does the machine have a disk light? If so, is it on and looks like it’s doing something?...

Chosen Solution Hi! A friend of mine came to me with his laptop, telling me it would not work properly. Here’s what happens: It (most of the times) powers on just fine, passes the POST but within about 20s from that it just turn off, no error, no nothing… it even sometimes gets to the Windows log-in screen… It is noteworthy to mention that the fan revs up at full speed for the entire duration of the time it “works”....

Chosen Solution This cable’s “head” broke, you can see the cable and the relative port in the pic. What was it for? Was it power? I wanted to turn the macbook into a “desktop” but if that was the power cable I’m kinda screwed Nope, it looks like you luckily just pulled the microphone cables from their connector, not a big deal, you can buy a replacement with a small expense here: https://www....

Chosen Solution My 2013 came with the 256GB Pci Flash drive. I want to add another SATA SSD, can I do this? I just want it as a separate drive and I don’t plan on any kind of raid setup. Since it did not come with a SATA drive from the factory will there be power and data connections? Yes, indeed you can! Just follow the guide here. You can choose to add either a 3....

Chosen Solution Hey! The thing is that I’ve got the idea of getting a higher res display for my MacBook 13" so I’ve been searching about display replacements with higher resolution like the MacBook Pro 15", but out of luck I just wonder that if the higher res 13" MacBook Air display that is 1400*900 could be installed on my MacBook Pro. So… Is it posible? If not, why not?...

Chosen Solution Practical to replace logic board rather than purchase new laptop? The case is in excellent shape. Hi! If your question is whether a G4 board can be replaced with or upgraded to an Intel board, then no, that is not possible with any Mac laptop. G4 iBooks and PowerBooks cannot be upgraded to Intel boards. If you have a 13" white MacBook, then you already have an Intel processor....

Chosen Solution I replaced the screen on an iPhone 4 and now the phone won’t receive calls or texts and I can’t hear anything when I ring anyone but if I use the voice memo it plays through loudspeaker and normal ear speaker.

Chosen Solution Washer is part way through cycle and is saying is taking to long to drain. What should we do Cause Clogged Pump or Hose Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions.

Chosen Solution I was wondering if there was a way to connect my Dell 3470 to my Dell docking station (model PR02X). Hi! The PRO2X is designed to work only with E-series Latitudes and yours does not belong to that category. Therefore there is no way to connect to that docking station, if you’ll take a look underneath your laptop you’ll also notice that there is no dock connector. The only dock you could connect to is the D1000 port replicator....

Chosen Solution I just replaced my iMac 2011 21.5 CPU fan since it was reported to have an error 4MOT/4/40000002: CPU-0 After replacing the fan, it still shows 0 speed and still is reported as the same error as above after running the Apple Hardware Test. Is there anyway I can test the fan to see if it is working on another fan connection in the iMac with the display off?...

Chosen Solution How do I replace the Transaxle Variation Belt? My Craftsman 42" Lawn Tractor (Model # 917.203901) will not move forward or backward, and the Drive Belt is fine. I have found that the Transaxle Variation Belt has shredded and come off in pieces. My novice understanding is that this belt is turned by the transaxle to set the speed/gear commanded by the foot pedal. This belt then turns the rear drive pulley that makes the mower move at the commanded speed/direction....

Chosen Solution This machine was given to me and not sure if its worth repairing. The trackpad has pushed itself upwards from the case and the battery will not charge. It does work while connected to the charger and I can use a mouse to navigate. I consider myself a decent hands on person and sure I could repair it myself. Just not sure if it’s worth it. The battery has swollen to a point where it pushed the trackpad up and broke it....

Chosen Solution Where can I buy and how can I replace the IR sensor of an Apple TV? Check the voltage on the CR2032 in the remote first. Once these get to the point they only have 2V left, most CR2032 batteries are no longer usable in applicationa like a remote. Should that not work, try a new remote - if this doesn’t help the Apple TV has a problem. Resetting the Apple TV will not help a hardware fault, so don’t bother - you will not fix anything that way so your next best step is to replace the board - you will probably need a donor for this due to the cost to ship such a part, but it is possible to do a module replacement for this component....

Chosen Solution probably a question for the iFixit crew. I’m about to buy a new logic board for iPhone 6 as mine is suffering badly from touch disease, although I have never had the grey bar. Just want to know if I buy a replacement logic board for an iphone 6 from iFixit if the touch IC’s have been checked/re-soldered and so on. Or could the same thing happen again....

Chosen Solution My 2 year old pulled it down off a table and the lcd got damaged. I figured why buy a new one mine still works minus the screen, I can just replace it right? Wrong.. There’s not a single teardown video or replacement part.. Now I have a glorified home speaker… Has anyone else ran into this problem with some type of resolution? It’s been almost a year since they came out....

Chosen Solution Hey! How important is it to calibrate your battery on a new device? I got my iPad Pro yesterday and it had 92%. I let it drain until it shutdown and let it charge back to 100% and left it plugged in for about 1-2 more hours. Is it good enough or do I have to charge it to 100% before beginning to drain it in order to calibrate it?...
