Chosen Solution so my grandma gifted me her shattered iphone xr, it turns on but back and front are completely shattered both rear and front cameras don’t function as well as speakers so i was thinking can i buy a locked iphone xr (icloud locked) and just replace the logic board to have it fully functional? You are taking a pretty high chance of doing this. I usually purchase phones in lots, and I’ve encountered 3 phones that had this issue....

Chosen Solution My imac desk top crt model wont turn on. First troubleshooting step would be to replace the PRAM battery. http://www.welovemacs.com/g5pr.html http://www.scribd.com/doc/103447/iMac-G3… Sound’s like a bad power supply, unfortunately, the computer is so old no one sells parts for it, so your best bet is either replacing it, or buying one off ebay and salvaging parts. My solution: time to get a new computer. My imac desk top crt model won’t turn on....

Chosen Solution Hello everyone. It’s about an ASUS’s laptop screen that I would like your assistant on the problem. I have uploaded a video on the problematic screen. It seems the screen is not always stable. If the screen has the picture, and not working on the laptop, everything seems fine (not always). But, if with the picture full on the screen, and e.g. I go to start working on the keyboard, or for example I want with the laptop on to go to another place (e....

Chosen Solution I was replacing my iPad mini 1st gen digitizer and I took the LCD out to clean it. One I connected the LCD it wouldn’t turn on. So I put a flashlight on the screen and I could see the screen. The iPad it’s self works. Would it be board level repair or just a new LCD? You probably disconnected the LCD while the battery was still connected. That can cause the backlight filter to blow....

Chosen Solution Hello, I’m considering buying a late 2009 MacBook Unibody (White). It comes with 2x1 RAM cards and a 2.26 ghz processor. I have heard from other sources that this MacBook is capable of handling 8 gb of RAM (4x2). Is this true? I have already decided to upgrade the hard drive, but also would like to know whether it is possible to upgrade my processor. I would prefer to replace the current 2....

Chosen Solution For Reference : This is the Left Earpad .The Mic has the gold and red wire leading to it on the bottom right Hi, There is usually a standard with headphone jacks BUT some manufacturers swap them around to make it a ‘proprietary’ connection, meaning that unless you can test it with an Ohmmeter and repair/build your own you have to buy their parts. Here are 2 images showing the 2 most likely connection options....

Chosen Solution I wanted to put a white screen on the iPhone 5c. Do you know if the two phones have the same component? No,they are differernt, the Difference between iPhone 5 iPhone 5C screen are the frame and LCD flex cable. You can easily recognize them.

Chosen Solution The logic boards will both be from the same year, 2011. Can later year Mac mini logic boards (like a late 2012 model) be used with a 2011? Looks like you will have no problem staying in the same year. Neither iFixit nor PowerBook Medic list the boards as interchangeable between 2011 & 2012. Mac mini Mid 2011 Logic Board Replacement

Chosen Solution I’ve recently replaced my ipod screen/glass that had cracked with a new one I ordered online. It was working great for a while even though I wasn’t able to fully glue it back on and keep it closed. This caused the connection cable to smash its connector on the logic board. If I now replace my logic board will I be able to salvage all that I have on my ipod, including apps, pictures, settings, and music?...

Chosen Solution My kid dropped my iPad pencil and the golden piece broke off can that be repaired and where do I find the the replacement part. What is that called? The inner tip contained precision circuitry and is screwed in from the inside then glued and welded shut, this thing is not repairable. If I remember correctly, there should be a spare tip when you purchase the Apple pencil...

Chosen Solution I want to film from the back of my computer, and use the front for my studio. Is there a way to flip the camera (not rotate it or have the same picture from another angle) , but instead where I can film from the back like I can with an iphone? Your iPhone has two or more independent cameras so you can shot a scene you are able to see looking out and a different camera to aim at you so you can do a video calls....

Chosen Solution A friend gave me a mid 2011 iMac with an i5 processor. If I upgrade to an SSD drive and max out the RAM, can I load a current macOS and run Lightroom or photoshop? Not doing anything major just touching up family photos and stuff. Thanks Officially your machine will upgrade to High Sierra which will run Lightroom and Photoshop just fine. I have the same iMac - unfortunately it will only run up to 10....

Chosen Solution tried to upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 on my 933 MHz iBook G4 14" but alert comes up saying cant be installed. According to Mactracker you should be able to go all the way to 10.5. I suspect the problem is in your software. Is the install disk the black retail version or the grey machine specific version? If it is the grey are you certain its for your computer?...

Chosen Solution Got a wd 60737 but main board bad can i use one from a wd 57833 and work? ckopstad no you cannot. It is a totally different board. Tell us what you checked that makes you believe the mainboard has failed.

Chosen Solution I have a MacBook Air 2013 perfect condition. I have a SSD from a MacBook Air 2015 but the MacBook Air 2015 had a firmware lock. I was wondering if I could use a firmware lock SSD on a good MacBook Air without getting my 2013 MacBook having a firmware lock. I only wonna do this because the firmware lock SSD has more storage. Transferring the SSD doesn’t carry the firmware lock, so that wouldn’t be an issue....

Chosen Solution Switching out batteries last night and I one caught fire. Long story. I cannot order parts at this time so I have a iPhone se and a 2000mah battery that isnt a replacement battery but it will fit in the phone. I’m wondering if it’s possible to solder wires directly to the battery connector and use it to power the phone. Short answer: Yes, it is possible. There are cables for testing iPhones that literally just hook power and ground to the connector....

Chosen Solution Replaced HD in MacMini late 2014 with SSD. Can’t find a place to plug in the IR Sensor cable. Looks like it should go under the board, but there’s nothing there. Some photos show a open box form, but not on this mother board. For now going to leave it unhooked and see if it runs? Now I see your plight! When you disconnected the LED/IR sensor you really did disconnect it the hard way!...

Chosen Solution hi, i like to remove the rear camera on my iphone 6S but i like to keep the touchlight function. is there any ways to keep the flash working after removing the camera? No. The flashlight will not be able to be switched on if the rear camera is not detected properly.

Chosen Solution I have noticed in a lot of teardown videos (and by the looks of it in the thermal paste video) that the CPU appears to be socketed. Can someone confirm if the CPU can be removed and is upgradeable? (I know this is likely limited to what the Toshiba BIOS allows but I am curious to try upgrading my Pentium B960 with one of the i3 or i5’s that were available for the machine at the time)....

Chosen Solution The new Mac Mini teardown Step 22 looks awesome, thank you. I’d like to know if the mac mini can be used with car power. Is it easy to install? As the car battery uses 12 V it should be compatible, don’t you think? Thanks for your answer! Actually you don’t need to mess with the internal power for the mini–just use one of these either plugged into the lighter socket or hardwired to the 12V auto circuit....
