Chosen Solution When I started my Windows 8 laptop from sleep, I have noticed this happened. I tried to shutdown the laptop by holding the power button down. The issue happened twice, until I forced it off and let it say there was a startup problem. Once that happened, it started up fine. While the machine is fine now, what causes this in Win8? I don’t want to upgrade it to Win10 if I can avoid it since I have no real need to, and Win8 is good until 2023....
Chosen Solution I accidentally started to lift my washer lid before it unlocked and now all it does is fill with water and drain. It doesn’t spin or agitate and the lid lock light is flashing. After a lot of Googling I think it’s my lid lock strike. Is there any way to know if its broken before I start buying parts I don’t need? The hook latch part that locks into the base feels very loose....
Chosen Solution I’ve got a 2015 MBP retina that has a dead logic board. It’s way too expensive to replace the board, so I extracted the SSD. I’d like to know if anyone knows what type of USB cable(s)/connector/case I would need in order to externally attach the SSD to another MPB or PC so I can get my data off of it. I’ve been looking around, and it seems that they are very specific about what connectors work....
Chosen Solution Yes, plugged in. Laptop won’t charge, light on magsafe is off. As soon as I connect the magsafe into the macbook, the screen will turn off. Have tried different chargers, reset PRAM, SMC, manually disconnecting and reconnecting battery, nothing. It sounds like you have a short along the main power line. Try opening up the bottom and inspect the I/O board, I wouldn’t be surprised you’d see something burnt or charred....
Chosen Solution I have an M4984 iMac G3(tray loading) that I recently got that I want to disassemble to check whether it has all its parts and has no internal damage. The guide on here only goes as far as removing the logic board assembly, and I haven’t been able to find any other guides online for this model. I don’t want to try to figure out how to take it apart by myself as I’m a bit scared of working with the CRT, and I don’t know much about older desktops....
Chosen Solution I repair Macs and was replacing a hard drive on a 2009 iMac 21.5.

Chosen Solution I have an early 2011 Apple MacBook Pro 15". Battery is good but was having problems with power adapter running hot when charging while machine was turned on or at sleep.

Chosen Solution Hey all, I have a six year old PowerBook which is still more than capable of handling my everyday tasks i.e. Photoshop use, web-browsing, viewing movies in Quicktime e.t.c (heck I even get to do a tad of video editing on this baby when it complies with me), but I have a problem. It over-heats to the point where I have to put it on a cold floor to cool it down sufficiently enough to work with it again....

Chosen Solution Hi, A friend of mine gave me this Furby Boom. She said that Furby was damaged by dropping on the floor by a 3-year-old boy which was coming to live for a couple of days. I disassembled Furby Boom, and I found out, that the DC motor DOES indeed spin, but pretty rarely. You have to push that refresh button, to get it move, but it will move for a couple of seconds in asleep mode, and it will not move anymore when it wakes up....
