Chosen Solution Can I for example buy old 2013 iMac 21,5 and motherboard and screen from 2019 and assemble such a creature? What years of cases are compatible? Sorry Apple tends to alter things per the different series. Some series have shared a few things but not as large a span as 2013 to 2020 as you are looking at here! 2019 to current 2021 - 21.5” iMac Retina 4K Rear Housing Unit, Apple P/N 923-030792017/18 - 21....

Chosen Solution I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 with no working backlight. I was attempting a repair on the hinge when I dropped a screwdriver causing a short and blew the fuse (I think). So far I have tested with a multimeter and the fuse needs replacing, looking around I thought I needed a 0402 2A 32V fuse like the one found here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350819415063?s… but when it came it is much samller than the one on my logic board....

Chosen Solution I think I need to replace the backlight filters. I’ve read plenty about where they are on the iPhone 5 but can’t find anything on the iPhone 5s. Can anyone tell me where they are on the board and where I can buy them? Is this all I will need to replace or should I also replace the coil and ic chip. Thank you in advance!! I’d check around FL24, FL25, FL26 as well as the capacitors C17, C243 and C18....

The USB got pulled out, once I reconnected, it worked fine for a couple of minutes, it was playing a song, which stopped midway, the I tried to reconnect it and the song continued from where it stopped, after the song ended, the HDD was no longer detecting the remaining files, the HDD was connected to my T.V. when it fell....

Chosen Solution Hi, I am in the U.S. and I am considering buying a battery replacement for an iphone 3G that was purchased in Europe. Are all the batteries the same in the iphone, regardless of which country / continent it is sold in? Please let me know if the standard battery replacement sold on ifixit.com works for european models. Thanks! Steve here are thew specs from Germany for the Battery that is sold for the iphone....

Chosen Solution Hi I use ifixit so much and always find my answers here but now I’m stuck. I’ve got an 27 inch core2duo late 2009. After booting the screen turns black (so I see the apple logo and then the screen turns black, the machine stays on and I hear the HDD). I tried the LCD on a different iMac also late 2009 and then I got it booted but after a few seconds it turned black again but you hear the HDD run....

Chosen Solution I’ve been having problems with my Mac for a while, but recently I tried to restart my MacBook and it ended up just giving me a black screen with only the cursor on it. The keyboard still lights up sometimes, but it won’t let me manually shut it down, even when charging. Any suggestions for fixing it? mmm … This is an odd one! The fact you see the curser on the screen tells us the touchpad input via the T2 chip is working and the input to the Intel graphics engine is working (if you see the movement as you move the curser) as well as the internal displays input and its display as well....

Chosen Solution printing from my computer to printer is fine but when I try to print from the copier the print is blurred in places please help Hi, Does it only happen when using the ADF, the platen glass or both? If it only occurs when using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and not when making a copy via the platen glass, the issue is commonly due to small marks or debris on the scanning glass area that lines up underneath the ADF roller....

Chosen Solution Removing the center adhesive strip to remove the battery, the tweezers slipped and caught the speaker connector, pulling it away, tearing the plastic film and breaking the wiring (the broken wires can be seen under magnification). I don’t see how this can be fixed. I can re-assemble the phone but the speaker surely won’t work. Any thoughts? (Major bummer!) From my experience fixing iPhones they have been very robust....

Chosen Solution While talking a trip to California I bought a second hand Nintendo64 while in my hotel room it worked perfectly fine with no issues! When I took it back with me to my home in Australia I made a mistake of just plugging it in directly without being aware the different regions support different voltages. I think I may have damaged the power supply, but, I have no way of telling if it’s damaged or not, nor how it should be properly set up without risk....

Chosen Solution Hello All I recently replaced the back, front screen and battery on my Iphone 5. it all works ok (which I was surprised at) but it says I have 4 bars of signal but when I call it says call failed. have tried doing network reset and DFU mode. does anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks in Advance If I were you, I would start by ruling out potential SIM issue: Have you tried first a different SIM, or cleaning your SIM’s contact points with an eraser?...

Chosen Solution I have been using a pair headphones in my computer for a long time. But the heafphones gradually started to break. I had to twist the headphone plug to a certain position so they would work. If I dont, I can hear certain sounds but not others. Like I can hear whats happening in a stream but cant hear the casters voices. They dont work in other ports either....

Chosen Solution I unevenly applied too much pressure on the cable retaining flap of the ZIF socket and half of it broke off. Can I replace the little flap or is there a tip to make sure all of the keyboard contacts are made once the ribbon cable is connected? Thanks! You cant not replace it, but i would suggest using masking tape(the not so stick white tape) and use a small piece of it to hold it down, or you could use sports tape like lacrosse tape, etc… it will work just as good....

Chosen Solution So im running a core i5 and im in middle of upgrading my pc and before i bought everything i wanted to know if i can upgrade to an i7 without changing my motherboard. Thanks. You’ll need to first lookup your CPU on Intels web site: Intel ARK - CPU’s. Then you can see what CPU’s are of the same series as yours. At one time it was easy as Intel was using the same socket, today their are a few different sockets for the i series chips....

Chosen Solution Have a 1st Gen Kindle Fire. Love it with some exceptions. Biggest issue is the limited storage space, especially considering there is no external SD port, and the poor Wi-Fi chip that seems to have lots of issues connecting and when connected, transfers data much slower than others, even with N. Is there any way to upgrade this hardware? Sadly no, it’s not upgradable.

Chosen Solution I’m planning to clean an iPhone SE logic board from corrosion from water damage. Can I use distilled or deionized water to clean the logic board or actually any electronic? Deionized water vs distilled water – DI water is as pure as the distilled water or even purer. Pure water does not conduct electricity. Any impurities, like salts, in the water enable it to conduct electricity. When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions....

Chosen Solution Hi, I installed an SSD in my laptop two days ago, however the old HDD of my laptop was 9.5mm in height and the new SSD is 7mm in height. I couldn’t seem to find a spacer in any of my local electronics shops but I did see thermal pads. I was thinking I could paste a 1mm and 1.5mm thermal pads one on top of the other and make a spacer of my own....
