Chosen Solution I don’t know if it is possible to upgrade the ram and if so how do I do it. Also what type of ram is best to get for the price to improve my system It appears the RAM is integrated into the logic board and cannot be removed memory Standard Memory: 8GB to 16GB non-removable https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatibl… To compliment @mayer’s answer, this is how I immediately knew. Along with the chassis being suspiciously thin, the EMI shield over the CPU and heatsink is where the RAM is....

Chosen Solution Android LGL34c My WiFi is locked in the off position. I noticed in setting, that my phones ip address is unavailable and also the Mac address is unavailable. What do I do? Hi, Try a factory restore on your phone to reset it and see if this solves your problem. Be aware that all your downloaded apps and user data will be erased, (also note the option about erasing your SD Card as well, remove it before you start) and that your phone will be restored to a factory default condition....

Chosen Solution The phone does come on and itunes recognizes the phone. Do I need to order a lcd with a digitized since it does not display at all? While there’s always a possibility that the problem is caused by a logic board isuue, the most likely cause of failure is a damaged screen assembly. You can find a replacement part part here as well as the repair guide here.

Chosen Solution I have a big problem with my Macbook Pro 15" Retina from late 2013! It crashes randomly. Showing a black screen for 10 seconds and then turning off. When i turn it back on it mostly crashes again after 30 seconds. I was not able to reproduce this problem manually. I tried to bring the Macbook to its maximum with 4k video, games, 4x yes-command, ssd-stress-test, etc etc … but still it wont crash....

Chosen Solution Hello all, I was recently cleaning my motherboard (820-3476-a) from water damage using isopropyl alcohol and an antistatic brush and damaged a chip. It is completely gone - like can’t even find it. TL;DR: Please identify the grey chip missing in my attached photo (white arrow pointing to missing chip). After hours of research, I ended up with a boardview and schematic, but the schematic is not easily understood and my ....

Chosen Solution I got an iPhone 6s+ for free from my aunt but the screen simply wouldn’t auto adjust brightness. I tried a lot of calibration and “fixes” online and never got it working. I sent it to an Apple Authorized Repair Center but they claimed that my phone has been taken apart and they’ll charge me around 400USD for a refurbished phone(I still have a month of warranty left). Now my question is is the sensor tied to the screen assembly?...

Chosen Solution I have a few of the white square block & yo-yo ac adaptors, with crushed tips. Can you buy new cords and repair these, or are they junk? If they are totally crushed, they probably aren’t worth trying to repair, especially considering you can get replacement 3rd party AC adapters that work really well for $15/ea on eBay. Hi the tips look like a headphone plug with a shield around....

Chosen Solution A few days ago my mac suddenly stopped taking any inputs through both the built-in mic and any external microphones from headsets i have been able to plug in. I’ve tried to do a PRAM and SMC reset but nothing happened. I have noticed however, that for some odd reason, instead of my computer trying to use my mic as the input, i’ve noticed people saying that they heard the youtube videos or music i had playing during that time....

Chosen Solution Hello, The macbook pro’s backlight shuts off when the mac is open more than halfway. I tried an SMC and PRAM Reset, and disconnecting the battery then purging current. I suspect it might be a problem with the Hal Effect Sensor but I cannot find it. Where is it on this particular unit ? Thanks in advance Dave Apple has a defect in the displays ribbon cables (it’s not the Hall lid sensor)....

Chosen Solution Hello, I’ve been experiencing battery problems for several months. My battery has recently begun to be drain without any use, especially at night and to melt like snow under summer sun during normal use. I first thought of a battery worn out by the years, indeed my iPhone 7 Plus at about 4-5 years old, and in the “battery” menu the capacity was 75%. So I made a replacement but despite this, the problem persists identically....

Chosen Solution Hello, I have an Acer Aspire R11 R3 131T (blue) that has a bios password locked on it that has been forgotten. I need to reset the Bios so i can do a clean install of windows through the F10 Menu thats is disabled behind the password. What I have done: Removed battery and cmos battery for 1 hour Used a BIOS code generator to access the bios through the given key (i can access the bios, but cannot change any settings besides date and time, when i enter the code in the supervisor password, it returns as incorrect and halts the system) Attempted to short the pins to reset the cmos....

Chosen Solution I recently changed the screen/digitizer but there is nothing but only a sound from the alarm clock. How do I make the screen turn on? everything is black on display. thank you :) Chances are screen is not connected properly, the ribbon cable that plugs between the logic board and the screen cable may be damaged. Or at worst, the screen is faulty. I’ve had this happen a few times after a screen replacement....

Chosen Solution I have a 60" Element LED TV. Model number is ELEFW605. There are black vertical lines on the right side of the display. Any idea on what could be the cause and any possible fix? Pictures: @brewskibrandon that could actual be a lot of things. Bad power board, bad main board, bad T-con board and finally bad panel. You do wnat to start of with posting some pictures of what your screen shows....

Chosen Solution My macbook was running slow last night geting the rainbow wheel alot. I restarted it this morning and now it turns on only to a blank white screen no apple symbol just makes the start up sound and thats it!! I just replaced the harddrive about 8 months ago when I was getting the question mark folder. So I’m hoping this isn’t the hard drive again. Yes, it could be the hard drive again…sometimes a machine that can’t find a boot volume will present a solid white screen as you are seeing....

Chosen Solution I apologize if this has been covered. I imagine it has but I couldn’t find the exact answers. Basically, my late 2016 MBP w/ touchbar stopped charging. I went to use it one day and it was completely dead. No lights, no sounds, no touchpad feedback, nothing. So i went though the normal troubleshooting steps, tried all the USB-C ports, swapped for known good USB-C cables, known good 61W charger… still nothing....

Chosen Solution I have an iphone 6 plus with a cracked screen and water damage. The phone was working with cracked screen before it was drowned. It fell in water and stopped working. It was kept aside from about an year now Can it be fixed? what parts need to be replaced? other than the screen After a year, you’ll want to give it an ultrasonic bath. I do mine for about $60....

Chosen Solution I changed the housing on an iPhone X and have this bracket left over. Any ideas where it needs to go? Top left of the case, on an RF flex cable. https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig… This looks like it??

Chosen Solution my laptop is GE62 VR 6RF 078CN I wanna build a raid0 volume with 2 different brand NVMe SSD (both 128GB) is that possible? You should use the exact same SSD as the one already in it. This will optimise the performance. If the Toshiba is a faster drive, it will be slowed by the Kingston, and vise versa. It’s not that you can’t use two different drives, it’s just not optimal nor is it reliable....

Chosen Solution “Overhead door garage remote got waterlogged. dried out and new batteries won’t light up the unit. Any hope of repair on this?” Hi, You need to remove the batteries from the remote and then open the remote and clean it thoroughly with Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ to remove any corrosion caused by the mix of water and electricity. Be careful not to brush off any components. Hopefully you may be able to save your remote....
