Chosen Solution The MBP Retina teardown uses brute force on the battery. Have you tried applying heat? I would apply a heat-shrink style heat gun to the metal opposite whatever is stuck, right at the location where I’m prying. Do not directly heat the battery. I haven’t got an MBP Retina, but I’ve noticed the adhesives used in the old MBP respond to heat very well. FWIW. Try this before solvent, which was suggested in another query....

Chosen Solution Hi fellow technicians, I’d like to bring something to your attention/find out if anyone else is having the same issues. We’ve been in the repair game over 9 years now so we are pretty clued up when it come to repairs so I can assure you that the following isn’t human caused. We have experienced the same issue with a number of iPhone 7 phones. The issue is the home button stops working, not just touch ID but the entire home button....

Chosen Solution Some buttons of the keyboards aren’t working well. I’d like to remove them and clean the platform. How can I do it? Thank you so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPaJXTni… A disassembly video. Very useful information! You can buy a new keyboard for about $15 on eBay if worst comes to worst. A comforting backup if all else fails. I wouldn’t try to remove individual buttons (looks like you have to tear the keyboard apart)....

Chosen Solution I recently got my screen replaced and paid over $400 for the repair but the back part is made of plastic and not metal like the original. I have the original screen but I want to know if I should take this back since it seems like a knock-off. It works fine despite the aesthetics of the macbook. (Although, isn’t that one reason to buy a mac anyway?)...

Chosen Solution Hi, I am about to replace some relay’s on the PCB for a jacuzzi. The legs on the relay are a bit too far between to be able to melt the solder, equally on all pins, to remove the relay.

Chosen Solution Hi, I have an 2015 MacBook pro. It was never dropped or damaged. Recently the screen works only when another display is connected via HDMI. Otherwise main screen is black, white or multicolored. We’ve tried to change display, motherboard, display wire. Didn’t help. Could you suggest any solution. please Try booting without the I/O board connected (via both the power cable or I/O cable). I have seen 1 MacBook Pro 13" 2015 before showing diagonal multicoloured stripes down the screen when it gets into an OS, but this turned out to be a CPU issue; I can only imagine it would be related to the I/O board in some way if you have tried a new screen and board already....

Chosen Solution Alright, so I was given this phone today . It’s a mess. Obviously serviced by someone who didn’t know what they were doing. Screen has obviously been replaced because it’s black on a rose gold, SEEMS like they attempted to use the original home button since it’s white and has the OEM Apple logo on it. I tear this thing down and oh no.. the horror! Missing screws and brackets everywhere LOL....

Chosen Solution When u click on a contact is says you have disabled a required permission Most operating systems always want your apps to have permission to access any data on your phone. In my specific phone and operating system (LG Stylo 3), to access the permission I just locate the apps list in settings, click on the menu button, select configure apps, and the first available setting is app permissions....

Chosen Solution How do I fix the courption ???? Thank You Generally, You need to boot up under an external boot drive so you can run Disk Utility from it. This can be a USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt drive (depending on your exact model); or use a second Mac using Use target disk mode to share files between two Mac computers While that can address minor issues, you may have a deeper hardware issue here....
