Chosen Solution Hello IFIXIT community, I recently bought the MacBook Pro replacement battery kit that IFIXIT provides to their customers so they can do Apple’s job at a cheaper price. I was able to install the battery with no issues at all. But, after a day, while using my computer after calibrating the battery for better results I decided to restart the laptop for some testing not related to its battery life....
Chosen Solution Last year i completely stopped playing ps4 since PC happened and it also sounds like a jet etc. yes i have replaced thermal paste, heat pads and cleaned it completely by taking every part out and it still sounds, so imo its not worth having it if i can get $200+ for it and controller etc. problem is that stupid me made a mod on the bottom housing which helped a little bit....
Chosen Solution Since a few weeks ago I noticed that bright lights or images seep directly downwards into darker backgrounds on my laptop screen. It doesn’t even have to be black background, sometimes white images seep into bright colors. Since it doesn’t appear on screenshots I had to take a photo https://i.imgur.com/A1nkAxw.jpg It seeps only downwards, though if I look really closely I can see it seep a little upwards, but only when it’s blocked from seeping upwards....
Chosen Solution The camera on my digital d2 is is not responding. When i click on the camera app i get nothing but a black screen? Do you have any possible solutions on how to fix this problem? If the rear camera works and the front does not, try swapping the camera using the setting on the camera app. If this still does not work, try resetting the app. Again if this does not work, reset the device....
Chosen Solution So My IPhone 7plus started booting off and on and it’s not going to stop, so I decided to check what’s going on.

Chosen Solution Am I able to add more memory to what is already installed in my HP Stream 11-r010nr notebook/ The SSD is soldered as it is eMMC. The RAM is also soldered and most of these only include 2GB of RAM. You can get 4GB, but only on the Stream 13 - which is more expensive. The problem with these systems was the Windows 8.1 with Bing licensing requirements - you can’t have more then 32GB of storage and 4GB of RAM - most only use 2GB of RAM to be compliant and meet price margins....
Chosen Solution I am installing a dual drive kit into a 2009 Mac mini. When I remove the SuperDrive to put in an HDD, would I be able to take my SuperDrive and re-connect it and use it externally with an adapter like this one: https://amzn.to/2Xr3hO3? Thanks! Sadly your system only has the older USB2 interfaces which is different to the USB3 version, it will be dog slow! There are a few FireWire optical drives made back then, but finding one now will be difficult....
Chosen Solution My tablet has these weird black areas on the right side of my screen when held horizontally, bottom when held vertically. Even though they are only on one side, they darken the rest of the screen slightly. Just got it this Christmas. I haven’t dropped it or hurt it in any other way. These just randomly appeared. I’m not too sure what they’re from or if I can fix that....
Chosen Solution Bought a generic USB car charger. Can I just purchase one and include it in the charger? If so what amperage? The car charger was either designed to take a fuse or it was not. If it isn’t, you can’t easily add one unless you take it all apart and modify it yourself (if it is even possible at all).
Chosen Solution Hi, I have the same problem and ordered a new cable for my early 2009 macbook. The problem is the socket which the cable attaches to onto on the motherboard broke off and i cant find it to solder it back on. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement socket? By the way this this is not my motherboard but the socket is an exact match. Thanks Gerry...
Chosen Solution Hi Guys, Stupid question but what is the difference between a RF resistor and a normal resistor? Can I replace R5701_RF on iphone 7 with a normal resistor of the same value? 10K 1% 1/32W MF 01005 https://www.digikey.sk/en/products/detai… Here is the pic from the schematics Hi @tommy5150 , I would say no. RF resistors are designed specifically to be used in high frequency circuits. Hence the name RF - radio frequency....
Chosen Solution Is it possible to purchase and replace just the 13" LCD screen for my A1369 Macbook Air instead of buying the entire top assembly? If it is, where can I purchase such a thing? Thanks. You mean…. This one? You guys are killing me with the negativity and misinformation. I can do this in under 20 minutes in the middle of the day when not videotaping it. Here is a one hour video detailing the process, which is EASILY DOABLE in under 20 minutes if you’re on your game, pull the old one off in one piece, and don’t have to explain anything to anyone around a JVC video camera....
Chosen Solution Hi All, I recently purchased a 60inch LG UH8500 series 4K UHD TV. I have hooked up my Nvidia Shield TV to my new LG TV via HDMI. However, once I have turned on my Shield TV, all I can see is grey static on my TV screen? (see attached pic) I have checked online & can confirm that my TV supports HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 and therefore able to support 4K content from 3rd party devices such as the Shield TV....
Chosen Solution Okay, so I have an Iphone 4 that I KNOW was working. I switched phones and gave my old phone to daughter’s boyfriend. He opened an account with the same provider, I know this phone is not jailbroken, nor is it a provider issue. When I stopped using this phone I wiped it to factory, and nothing has been done to it since. I do know the wifi is not working on this phone, but it was activated in the past without wifi and worked fine (just expensive)....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 5S 32gb on Sprint. I bought it off ebay as a “no power” unit. I put it into DFU, and restored it. Phone seems to work fine but display does not work at all and when plugged in it either vibrates or chirps, depends what you have it set on. Once unplugged, it stops. An ideas? If there’s no sign of water damage then booking with the apple store and they will sort it the phone will be still in warrenty no point repairing when you can have it done for free...

When i press the side button on the Xbox it will not enter sync mode. if i plug the controller in with a USB cable it will work like normal, but the second I unplug the cable it disconnects. I have already tried a factory reset of the system and tech support wants to charge me to replace the system....
Chosen Solution I had a water damage in the computer. The computer basically works but has some problems. The most obvious problem is that the touch bar is black. The power batton works but the fingerprint sensor does not. I actually do not care that is not working as I used a software program to move the esc key to the key left of 1. I cannot boot the normal way as the system needs to install an additional software probably for this USB device but I managed to fix it by killing login window durrin boot....
Chosen Solution Long story short: I have a broken 2012 macbook air A1466, a repair shop told the previous owner that the Logic board had failed. Ive been looking about on ebay for a replacement board and noticed later years share the same model number, will these motherboads fit and work in a 2012 model? Cheers No. 2012 models use a different trackpad, camera, I/O board & cable among other things....
