Chosen Solution I’m in need of the plastic Monitor Adjusting Tools for the Color Classic. Do you sell these or can recommend where I can obtain a set? CRT discharge and adjustment tools are not in high demand, so it isn’t easy to find the specialized versions these days. They can still be found, but using precision plastic screwdrivers also works as well. However, before you begin to adjust the CRT you want to discharge it, so you aren’t starting out with a 15-25k charge waiting to get you!...

Chosen Solution Looking to replace the glass/LCD on an LG G6 and was wondering if it is better to do it with the frame attached to the new part or not. Any help appreciated In my opinion, yes the whole assembly is easier to replace and it saves a lot of time taking stuff apart and worrying about damaging more than necessary. Doing a screen replacement on this phone would probably be easier without the frame....

Chosen Solution My new MacBook that I picked up last April lacks a firewire port. I used to like to use my external iSight camera instead of the built-in camera back when I used my iBook G4 as my daily driver. How can I hook this up again? Is there a wire that goes from firewire to USB? Can I cut a USB and a firewire and splice them together? Once I find the cable, will my iSight work on my MacBook plugged into the USB port?...

Chosen Solution Hey, so a penny was thrown at my phone (dont ask why) at the bottom left on the screen of my lgg3. There are cracks concentrated at impact but also branch out alot.

Chosen Solution I got a second hand Mi Body Composition Scale 2. It measures weight fine, but fails to measure the “extra” measurements (hydration, fat content and so on). I saw a Fixit guide for version 1 of the same scale here, but the screws are not in the same place. I’m still trying to get a replacement from the place I got it from, but if that falls through I would like to open it and try to see if I can solve it....

Chosen Solution Hey there! I recently swapped out the logic board of my iPhone 8 plus, however the home button no longer functions. I knew going into this, touch id would be disabled. I never used it, so it wasn’t a huge tradeoff for me. However, the home button is now completely unresponsive. One time when I turned the device on, it did say that the home button may need serviced....

Chosen Solution I have an iPad 3 WiFi only that came to me originally with a no charge problem. Upon visibly inspecting the charging port, I could see some of the pins were damaged so I ordered some replacement charging dock connector flex cables and thought it was going to be an easy fix. I was wrong. I took the digitizer and LCD off and removed the original charging dock connector and installed the replacement charging dock connector....

Chosen Solution Hi I am replacing the digitizer on an ipod touch 4th gen. It came without a digitizer and home button. I have ordered an new screen, but before I pay for a new home button as well I was wondering if the spare home button I have from a ipod touch 2nd gen is the same size and would fit as well. I don’t have a digitizer to try it on yet so I hope someone knows....

Chosen Solution I got the home button parts to repair my iPhone 5c, but neither the button bracket nor the ribbon are the problems. After taking it to the Apple Genius bar they say that one of the two pin connectors that is on the logic board (not on the screen/glass), is broken and thus why my home button doesn’t work. Has anyone successfully repaired these pins? Apple’s response is to offer a trade-in rather than fix it....

Chosen Solution So I got a Urpower Bluetooth speaker from a friend and the inside of the micro USB port is damaged on the inside of the port. Is there anyway I can still charge it? Hi @johndoe123 , The only way to charge it is to open it up and replace the damaged USB port. As it is most probably an SMD (surface mount device) type component, you’ll need SMD soldering skills and tools to effect the repair....
