Chosen Solution so i swapped the housing for my iPhone, everything else works, lighting connector, speaker, vibration, but 3.5mm headphone jack doesn’t. when i plug in any headphones and play music, it plays through the speaker, so it can even detect there are headphones in it You probably need to replace the lightning dock assembly. The headphone jack is connected to it.

Chosen Solution First of all, i would like to start off with a ‘mini’ description of my product. I own a iPod Mini 2nd Gen 4GB (with the original drive). Now to my problem. The problem is obvious, i stripped the screw nearest to the hold switch, and would like to get a non-destructive (to the iPod, headphone out board, and housing) method of extracting the screws out of my iPod mini 2nd gen....

Chosen Solution Dear ifixit team, You show many hinges for G4 repair, but for G4 Titanium. So, should I consider my Titanium not repairable or can I use another set of hinges (i.e.: G4 Aluminium for 15") and go on my own ? Best regards, L.T. Aluminum hinges will absolutely NOT work on a Titanium. There are basically two types of Titaniums – ones with a VGA port, and ones with a DVI port....

Chosen Solution After my father got an oil change, the car’s engine, upon starting, makes an unusual sound. The car shakes violently, to the point you can see the seats vibrate, and the gas mileage is so bad, the tank has to be refilled every 2-3 days. Do you have any suggestions? Sounds like you have a cylinder not firing. I’d take it to an auto parts store that does free computer read outs and see if that can tell you where your problem is....

Chosen Solution I got very lucky and had a friend donate a dell inspiron 15 to me that she no longer used for school because the screen is broken. It has a touch screen. The glass is broken pretty good and I know if I continue to use it the LCD will eventually break as well. I can’t figure out any were wether I need to purchase the lcd and screen together or if I can just replace the digitizer....

Chosen Solution Hi! Is there any real difference between the 13’ 2011 and the 13’ 2012 Screen Assembly? Are they compatible with eachother? Yes, they are different! Apple altered the design enough that they are not interchangeable. Macbook Air 13" 2010-2012 are compatible with each other, no differences. what about the logic board?

Chosen Solution I swapped the hard drive on a mid 2012 13" macbook pro to an ADATA SU800 512 GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… Using Internet Recovery I am trying to reinstall the OS onto the system.

It always fails with the error “Partition failed with the error: File system formatter failed.” It WILL succeed for MS-DOS (FAT). Both attempts were with GUID....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 6 which is missing both brackets from the front panel and the battery. The cost of buying these, the battery bracket, the front panel bracket, and a new screw set to screw these brackets in, is almost $30. I also have to replace the battery which will cost me another $25. Is there a need for covering the cables so I can maybe save some money as I only have $50 to spend?...

Chosen Solution do you have downloadable check list forms? @irepair321 - We are more focused on helping people repair or maintain their equipment than supporting applications or get into how to create a checklist form to print out or fill-in. There are other web sites that can support you better within a given app if you have one already (i.e.MS Word or Pages). You also might find what you need just by going to the App Store within your phone....

Chosen Solution I have my tab docked and connected to the charger. While docked it shows the time and date. It also shows the weather. The problem is on the clock. For some reason the letter “K” is locked in the hour position no matter what time of day it is. The minute(s) position is working normally as is the temperature. Any ideas? Hi @ohbroncofan Here are two links that show how to check the settings for the Daydream feature....

Chosen Solution I have this really old Asus notebook or PC or whatever it is. It just cut out on me a few years ago and I’m trying to order a new charger for it so I can use it again.

Chosen Solution Hello, I would like to replace the old screen on my Iphone 8 Plus. I found an Original Screen and an after market one. I do not have a screen programmer, so will it still work?
