Chosen Solution How do I remove a broken spark plug from a 2004 Toyota Tacoma? What’s still stuck to the engine? Getting a glow plug from a diesel engine is not trivial (not that removing a spark plug is…) but glow plugs are smaller and you’ll either have to break down the engine and have the head sent out for a shop to remove that clump of metal from it or you’ll have to have a very steady hand to drill threads into the inside in order to create a base to secure a bolt head to unscrew the hole thing out....

Chosen Solution There is a “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer - Choice”, a “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer” and “iPhone 6 LCD Screen and Digitizer Full Assembly”. I understand the difference between the one that doesn’t say Full Assembly and the one that says full assembly, but what does “choice” mean? Is it somehow a premium part? Here is a cut and paste from the email iFixit sent me on the topic: Screen Pricing and Product Code Update We are changing product codes on our iPhone displays....

Chosen Solution I have had the same problem. I was disappointed when I got the whole thing apart, then back together only to find the cable mismatch at the very end. I’m surprised this has happened as I know that I ordered the correct kit according to the specs on the site!

Chosen Solution It was about 2 in up on charger end Hi, As you know water and electronics and electricity are not a good mix. The minerals in the water cause corrosion and the water also provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the tablet’s operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion process starts immediately and will not stop until it has been thoroughly cleaned away....

Chosen Solution iPhone 7 dropped and still worked fine except didn’t charge. It died later in the day because of practical use. What’s a way rock approach to fix this?

Chosen Solution “How do you fix exposed ground on an iphone 6s that’s shorting? There’s a place where I removed two caps and now one pad is connected to the other. It literally sparks.” Update (01/19/2017) But the pad of one cap is now connected (via exposed ground) to the cap next to it. I’m no microsoldering vet, but I would say remove the caps, if they’re back on, clean up the pads, then replace the caps

Chosen Solution My iPhone 6s front camera stopped working recently. I have not dropped or damaged my device. The weird thing is that occasionally my front camera shows that it seems to be working when I only open FaceTime to see my recent FaceTime history and I can see in the background my front camera working showing the blurred picture behind the call history. When I try calling on FaceTime it will actually show my picture but after a couple of seconds the picture freezes and turns green with horizontal lines....
