Chosen Solution I am looking to purchase a replacement battery for my iPhone 5s but if I already have the Pro Tech Toolkit, can I just get the replacement battery and ignore the battery replacement kit? In other words, are all the tools included with the iPhone 5s replacement battery toolkit already part of the Pro Tech Toolkit? If you have the ProTech Toolkit, then you have everything you need to replace the battery on your phone....

Chosen Solution The liberation kit for the iPhone 5/5s/6/6+ isn’t in the Iphon 6s parts list but I feel like it would work. In my opinion, the only difference in the 6 and 6s is the pressure sensitive screen. Maybe I’m wrong; someone enlighten me. BUT Has anyone tried to use the liberation kit on an iPhone 6s? Hi Jesse, Yes, the liberation kit should work for the iPhone 6S and 6S+....

Chosen Solution 02 Yamaha G16A Freshly overhauled engine. Now it may idle a bit but the quits, will not gain rpm unless choke is applied. Air filter, gas lines and carburetor are all new or cleaned.

Chosen Solution Hi there! Working with a MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012. Trackpad and keyboard failure arose after minor water damage (water likely entered from ventilation holes as keyboard was covered with silicon protector): everything except the power button malfunctioned.

Chosen Solution Whirlpool Freezer up top. mod: W8TXEWFYB03. Approx 4-5 years old freezer stays cold, warm refer. I have defrosted it. The compressor is working. The fan in the freezer works occasionally, but randomly stops. If I open it up and “flick it” it will start going again. All is well for awhile, then it will “die out” again. I don’t get it.. Originally thought it might be the fan motor, but works occasionally....

Chosen Solution My home button hasn’t been working for a while now. I recently found out that the gold prongs on the left side of the dock broke off from a screen replacement. Well i found a solution to that problem which was apply a thin strip of foil where the prongs were so that the connecter on the lcd touches it, and turns out that solved the problem! Because my iphone was stuck in the boot loop and without a working home button there was nothing i could do, but i fixed it now…....

Chosen Solution Hi my Hotpoint LST216A dishwasher stops after a few mins and shows flashing lights. The power button and program buttons 1 and 3 keep flashing. Also there is water inside the dishwasher that I am assuming was from the first few mins before the dishwasher stopped. Any idea what this could be?

Also the screen is broken so i can’t get into system preferences on the primary display. Need to turn off autoboot before putting new display on. @danj I just spoke with an Apple employee over the phone and she said that if you disconnect the battery before doing anything else you should be fine and fastboot shouldn’t be triggered....

UPDATE Replacing the trackpad is very simple and essentially the same on all models of this era....
