Chosen Solution I was wondering if i can a upgrade a fullhd version of dell xps 15 9570 with a 4k touchscreen display from a dell xps 15 9550? Hi, I made the upgrade Not only is possible…but it’s also very easy!! I bought an used 4k screen assembly on eBay and I installed it in 15 minutes! I found a video , that shows how to replace the keyboard. In the process you can see the tech removing the screen assembly and disconnecting it from the board....

Chosen Solution The computer currently has a faulty logic board with a 2.6 GHz i7 and 16 GB of RAM. Is it possible to replace it with the one with 2.3 GHz i7 and 8 GB of RAM or are they incompatible? While you could swap out your logic board I’m not sure if the direction you are going will leave you happy. Your downgrading both the CPU and the RAM....

Chosen Solution I have been asked to replace the keyboard on a Yoga 730, but the 720 is all I can find that has any guides available. I would guess it’s close to the same layout as the 720, but wanted to confirm that it’s even possible to replace the keyboard on this unit. Seems like it would require an almost complete teardown to do it, as I need to access from the bottom and work through everything to get to the top side....

Chosen Solution do you fix the brother gt 541 Hi Vaughn, IFIXIT doesn’t service anything. There are no fees, etc. Volunteers will help you fix your own equipment if you give us details such as make, model number, when the problem started, how it manifests, what you have done so far, etc.

Chosen Solution Does this camera have Wi-fi capability built in or does it need an attachment? This model unfortunately does not have built in WiFi as it is an entry level D-SLR. However, you can purchase an external wireless adapter from Nikon that plugs into the mini-USB port on the left hand side of the camera. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-product… Nikon page showed it did have wifi under the ad for he camera, but I cannot find it on the menu....

Chosen Solution My MacBook won’t boot for hubby, I can’t try my log in because he did a forced shut off & it just comes back to his log in when turned back on. It just sits there looking like it’s booting up but 45 mins later it still in the same spot, It was that age old problem I had with the old Macs….the PRam. I had it clear 3 times, it’s booting up fine, slow but fine....

Chosen Solution I need to know whether or not the microphone input to iphones that was available on the 3.5mm connection is available via the Apple iphone 7 headset adapter @rotary yes it is. Take a look on here and here as well.

Chosen Solution Ran Apple Hardware Test and on my G4PB 1.33GHz machine Got error code: 2GMC/5/16:built-in Anyone know what it means? IIRC that code refers to a logic board problem with a heat sensor but I’m not 100% certain of that and can’t find my data source. Ralph so what - they did not trade it then? And did not know what it means either?

Chosen Solution I recently purchased a Dell P2415Q 4K Monitor for my MacBook Pro 15" Touch Bar 2018. When I connect the monitor to my MacBook using a Type-C to DisplayPort cable, the monitor would flicker when certain images are displayed. Here’s a video of what the flickering looks like. The monitor is not damaged, as I tried the same images using my Fire TV Stick and Cube (HDMI). It’s also fine when I hooked up my friend’s MBP 13” Touch Bar 2017 (the same C-DP cable), there is no flickering whatsoever....

Chosen Solution I was going thru my tech teacher’s back room today and I came across a 2014 Mac Pro. I plugged it in hoping I would have found a hidden gem, but with my luck I got no dice. As soon as I pressed the power button, there were 5 extremely loud beeps at least 1 second apart that almost made me jump. I unplugged it immediately, and tried again....

Chosen Solution Generally how hard is it to replace a fuel tank strap in this old bad boy? @claz more of a PITA than difficult. Attached is the part from the service manual that pertains to the straps to this answer. Page 12 is the procedure in question. Ford Escape Fuel Straps etc.

Chosen Solution When I change gear to reverse it is hard and makes it hard to change gears It’s difficult to say what the problem could be without more info. Does your civic have an automatic transmission? If it does and you are having difficulty shifting or it doesn’t shift smoothly there are lots of possible causes inside the transmission and there may be little you can do on your own....

Chosen Solution So my Late 2012 Macbook Pro 13” Retina works just fine on my existing logic board EXCEPT the charging circuit is whacked so that it never will charge the battery. If you put a charged battery in, everything is great until you run out of power. I originally thought it was the MagSafe board or battery but have swapped both with identical results. So I ordered, received and installed a replacement logic board from IFIXIT....

Chosen Solution I have tried the 3M two sided tape and a even better tape that is red off Ebay. Never-the less I am still having problem with screen glass coming loss. Tried super glue with mixed results. What works? Have you tried out our custom iPhone 3G/3GS front panel adhesive strips? They are guaranteed to keep the glass in place and include the free repair guide. Hope this helps!...

Chosen Solution I recently replaced my charging port because my old one stopped working about three weeks ago. I noticed about a week ago that the service on my phone was getting super poor. Now my headphone jack and speakers won’t work no matter what (I’ve tried everything). Now, considering that all three of these problems are on the same part, could it just be the part? Poor connections? Faulty part, I assume the charging port connector on the logic board is fully plugged in with the lightning connector ribbon flex assembly....

Chosen Solution Has anyone else had this issue where the headphone jack gets stuck in digital out mode? My speakers are disabled (except for the chime sound when booting), the sound pref panel only allows me to select ‘Digital Out’ for sound output, and a red light shines out of the jack. Headphones work when I plug ’em in. I’ve found other discussions out there about this (such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa...), but so far I haven’t had much luck with suggestions found there....

Chosen Solution Hello I’ve crack my tv screen. How much would it cost to Fix Verdell Davis that will depend on the size and availability of the panel. Most of the time a replacement (if it is even available) will cost more than a new TV. Remove the back from your TV and check the label affixed to the panel. It will have the maker and model number for your TV on it....

Chosen Solution While I am trying to remove the optical drive from my MBP with following the instructions of the iFixit, I could not remove the Camera cable socket and I broke off the cable from the socket. You can see the current situation of the cable and socket from the pictures I uploaded: http://imageshack.com/a/img537/6886/ZRZd… http://imageshack.com/a/img661/914/sfzmP… For checking my system after this accident, I run my laptop and as I expected camera did not work....
