Chosen Solution Hi, I have buggered the motherboard by spilling water on the laptop. Has anyone ever replaced one of them? Cheers, yann Hi, Here is a link to the service manual for your laptop. Scroll to p.43 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure on how to remove the systemboard.

Chosen Solution Hi iFixit, I have bought an iPhone 5s 64GB Black Verizon (model A1533) and the home button is from another iPhone, therefore the fingerprint scanner doesn’t work. Everything else is functional though. Now, I have another White iPhone 5s with working fingerprint scanner. My question is: Is it possible to take A7 CPU and home button bundle from White one and reball it to the Black one? Do you know of any repair shop that does this in North America?...

Chosen Solution You mentioned above that if there was oil on or near the compressor or condenser coils then there was no need to do the PCB tests. In such a case, what would the next step be? My freezer and fridge are not cold, but the fridge is still running. I cleaned the coils, and noticed the oil in the pan near the coils with what looks like some corrosion....

Chosen Solution Hi People I really like this page, it is great to find so many tips on how to save money by repairing your mac by yourself. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a procedure to find out what causes the problem and therefore what needs to be replaced. I can’t switch on my macbook (white, from 2006). The battery is working, RAM and HD are OK. Ithink that either the keyboard is broken or the logic board....

Chosen Solution my iPod touch get very hot and only after 5 min of use I hope this helps. First check how much available storage you have right now. If you see that your under 1GB then try to delete apps that you don’t use as much. Make sure that you close your background apps as well, thus making sure the brightness is not too bright unless needed so. Make sure your device is up to date on OS updates ....

Chosen Solution Hi, does anyone know whether it is possible to replace the glass only, and not also the display of the P8 lite or any other device to which the following applies: all tutorials (there are several) on the web show how to substitute the display&glass and not the glass only, as the two are said to be kind of glued together… I do not like that! Not economically viable....

Chosen Solution My Sanyo DP55D44 right side has a dark like shadow over the picture. Can this be removed easily?…help please. Update (09/19/2018) Here is what my screen looks like…I want my beautiful screen back…help, please. If you could post a picture to confirm the problem, that would be helpful. I suspect that one or more LED strips have failed or that there is a problem with the Tcon board. If you can post pictures of the boards as well, that may help too....

First off you could buy a sim card tray with shipping fir around 6 dollars....

Chosen Solution I am trying to replace the screen on an iPhone 6. The instructions on iFixit were great (as usual) until I reached the point requiring removal of 6, #00 1.6mm screws from the front panel rear. (Step 35 in these directions.) While most of the screws were challenging to remove, there’s one I still can’t get out. I’ve tried using a half-dozen different tiny Philips-headed screwdrivers but at this point, I’m concerned that the screw head is becoming stripped....

Chosen Solution Hello guys, I’m having a problem with my old MacBook Pro. It works great, but it’s producing some high frequency sound on the left upper corner of the keyboard. I’ve mentioned that it’s present only when the screen brightness is around the middle or a bit lower than that. When I move brightness to 0% it dissapears, at 1% I can hear that a little bit, 2% bit more and so on....

Chosen Solution Camra app will not open Hi, Try the following: Backup your phone using the phone’s backup feature. Fully charge the phone’s battery. Perform a factory reset (or restore) using the phone’s factory reset (restore) feature. Be aware that when you do this your phone will be restored to its’ factory default condition. All your user data and downloaded apps will be erased. It will be like when you first bought it....

Chosen Solution I have an A1652 iPad. Changed the battery out but the Smart Connector for the keyboard got sliced by the iFixit card tool. I can’t seem to find a way to remove the current Smart Connector retaining clip/cleat. From what I can tell it’s not an easy process. Check step 22 of the tear down for this model. It’s glued into the enclosure very soundly. It’s probably doable, and I have found the part available for purchase, but I suspect it’s going to require a lot of doing to get the old one out....

Chosen Solution I bought this ASUS K53S that had belonged to a Chinese student studying at the University of Oregon. I was able to add English to Windows 8.1, however, as an example, when I downloaded itunes from the internet, it installed in Chinese. Does anyone know what must be done to change it to English only and completely remove Chinese? This behavior is by design. Language packs are not upgraded as part of the operating system upgrade....

Chosen Solution So I noticed when I put my phone back together that everything worked fine, but the battery wouldn’t charge. After taking it apart and inspecting it, I noticed that where the battery pins make contact with the logic board have been damaged. Specifically, where the four battery prongs are lightly soldered to the board, when I removed the battery, the solder connecting the pin to the board was so strong that instead of detaching from the little square on the board, it pulled the square up with it....

Chosen Solution I woke up this morning and when I went on my phone, there was a black mark in the bottom right. Originally I thought it was part of the video I was watching but I come to discover that it wasn’t. It doesn’t appear in screenshots which means that is the physical feature that may be messed up and I have no clue how to fix it. It sounds like you have a damaged LCD; you will need to replace the screen assembly....

Chosen Solution My phone has weird issues. The number six will not type, I have replaced the digitizer twice and the issue remains. I bought a magnifier to take photos of the port and this is what I found. Is this a hard fix? Can I buy one large part with it already attached? Do I need to learn to microsolder? Thank you for your help! Hi Leslie. Abdulmajeed is correct in saying that a connector replacement is hard, however I would not advise you to spend any money on connectors or kits or anything else....

Chosen Solution So basically, I have found a MacBook Air display, but I couldn’t find any information if it’s interchangeable with the older generations etc. From what I can see on some photos that I’ve found, the connector looks a bit different, but I’m asking if I have to look for a specific model of a MacBook Air or any Retina 13” gen will work? There are numerous differences between the displays!...
