Chosen Solution Can you paint the heat spreader on corsair vengence led ram? You can paint the heat spreader, but there are a few things you’ll need to take into consideration. First, a coat of paint will probably make them less effective at removing heat from the memory sticks. Second, you should be extra careful to avoid getting any paint on the electronics or the connector. Ideally you should remove the heat spreader before painting it....

Chosen Solution I changed the screen and everything seems to work except I cannot turn on WiFi. The slide ON bar shows in Settings but will not slide to ON. The quick access feature will not recognize the WiFi icon touch command either. Did you have any problems during the repair? Normally, changing a screen shouldn’t have any impact on the WiFI. Even if you had damaged the antennas, the WiFi function would still be able to turn on…you would just get less signal....

Chosen Solution I am trying to get into my old 2005 HP Pavilion dv1000 and I can’t remember any of my passwords. Even with all the clues cannot figure it out. Need to get some old pictures off and can’t get in. Can anyone help!? @sjchandler Take out your hard drive and connect it to your new computer with a USB adapter, which you can get quite cheaply on eBay. This is a pretty old computer so it may have a 40 pin interface, in which case you want a USB to 2....

Chosen Solution I have a 2017 GLI and recently the engine started to shake in the morning, when I get to the stop light down the street and am idling. The engine has died a few times, but usually it just shakes the car and the interior lights flicker a bit. Rev’ing up the engine while putting the car in nutural, stops the shaking and after reaching normal operating temperature, it does not do this....

Chosen Solution Hi. I already read a post about a similar problem, but my case is slightly different… My monitor suddenly shows colored vertical stripes, going from top to bottom (only half of the top Menu Bar is correctly displayed). The stripes are not fixed, they vary in width and colour depending on what is displayed. An attached monitor set as primary works fine. I have been told it could be either the display or the graphic card (or hopefully just something concerning the connection between the two)....

Chosen Solution Could anybody help me to find out if the logic board on the Ipad mini Retina 2nd generation is the same as the one found used in the non-retina version? Thanks The short answer is: No. They do have interchangeable parts such as the digitizer, and the antenna, etc. BUT, the lay-out for the two boards is different, and the more expensive things like LCDs and batteries are not interchangeable....

Chosen Solution Hi.. My nephew recently bought an iPT 4G with a broken screen (white screen displaying) After trying all ways and tips on here how to fix it and nothing working decided it must just need a new screen replacement. However, when going to remove the display connector, noticed it was missing the copper tape that loops around it onto the logic board. I tried fitting the new screen anyway without it, but still shows white screen :( so was wondering if i can buy a replacement strip of this copper tape from anywhere, or would I need to buy a broken iPT4G for parts to take it from?...

Chosen Solution Hi. Half the screen has a pink shade. It got better by hitting the sides of the screen but now it doesn’t help. I disassembled the screen and moved the LCD while connected to the Flex cable but nothing changed, i also disconnected the flex from the LCD and the motherboard and nothing happened. i’m adding some pictures for you to see.

I was following along the video to replace the battery and there is section where I am supposed to remove 2 fragile wires after taking the camera cable off.

Chosen Solution I’m attempting to replace the battery but the rear cover is not releasing. I’ve heated the back repeatedly but the glue is holding. Not sure how much heat can be used? Any suggestions? Thank you. Charles it should be hot to touch, you will need to slide something around the edge like a playing card or plastic pick, keep heating as it will cool down

Chosen Solution Hello. Hope you are all doing well. My question before I buy a new cable is: I just get a replacement battery for my MacBook Pro A1708.

Chosen Solution Hi, One year after I purchased my MacBook Pro 2017 Function Keys. I had some issues with the battery, after sometime I purchased a brand new one from iFixit and changed it, everything worked great. Now, after reapplying thermal paste to the CPU the battery doesnt get recognized, if I unplug the USB-C charger the system turns off. I have reset the SMC, PRAM but nothing seems to work, I’m suspicious of the Battery Daughter Data Cable (flex) that goes from the Small battery board to the Logic Board, I’ve purchased a new one but it will arrive in aprox 45 days, and still I’m not certain that it is broken or something....

Chosen Solution Hello community, I have a Thunderbolt Display which was used with my Macbook Pro (Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp). 2 days ago it made a clicking sound and the picture went dark on the Windows OS. After that I took the Monitor home and tested it with my Macbook Pro at home (OS Sierra). I can set the brightness in the Apple OS but only from Dark - 1 -2 Points (using ctrl + f2), when I go on the next one (Number 3) it doesn´t get brighter and the picture starts to flicker....

Chosen Solution Is it OK to upgrade to High Sierra on a Samsung SSD EVO 860 in MacBook Pro Late 2011 right now? You can actually install High Sierra on an SSD without automatically converting to APFS, using, of course, HFS+ instead. Download the MacOS High Sierra installer from the App Store as usual, making sure it’s within the /Applications/ directory. You will need the full installer to have the Contents/Resources/ options available to you....

Chosen Solution How can I repair the charge port on my view? Hi, Here’s a link to the ifixit Samsung Galaxy View Motherboard Replacement guide. It is useful as it shows how to open the tablet so that access to the DC jack is possible.
