Chosen Solution Hey all, I’m currently running the following spec: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 (I reckon it’s dual core) 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB Storage drive has been upgraded to a 1Tb SSD It’s beginning to really show its age when it comes to video editing, grinding out 10 minute videos in 1 hour 45 mins in Premiere Pro, and glitching out backgrounds over chromakey in Final Cut Pro X....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, So I have a Gateway SX2110G-UW318, with AMD E1-1200, AMD Radeon HD 7310, a 500 GB HD, 4GB DDR3 MEMORY, and Windows 8 pulling all the strings. Now, I also have a Dell Optiplex GX520 - with a Celeron D 2.4 GHz, 64 bit, 50GB HD, 533Mhz, and Windows XP pulling “some” strings. The Gateway is blue screened from a quick power failure, and the Dell’s fan speed is sporadic no matter how many adjustments i make....

Chosen Solution My Palm’s screen and keyboard are flashing. I’ve tried removing the battery and powering down but it just keeps flashing. Can this be fixed? What you have done is the soft reset. Palm has 3 more types of resets. System or Warm reset Hard reset (possible removal of data from device) Factory reset (guaranteed removal of data from device) Since you may loose data, I would suggest you connect the Centro to your computer & use Palm hotsync to backup your data....

Chosen Solution There’s “no built in audio” on the machine, are there devices I can run through the USB port? (I’m new to this so I’ll plead ignorance.) Sound was provided by an external USB amplifier and a pair of Harman Kardon speakers. Although the USB amplifier had a standard mini-plug headphone output, it lacked any audio input. This one used the Apple Pro speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Speaker-… You can find them on eBay....

Chosen Solution I’m going to be trying my hand at replacing the glass onto a display, but couldn’t find any molds specific to Pixel XL. Can anyone recommend what I should do? I’ve never laminated a screen before, I know I need UV glue, a UV light and a way to precisely place the screen, anything else? Lamination is a very tricky thing! To do it right you’ll need a special vacuum chamber which has a press inside and the needed fixture to hold the phone & screen: iPhone X glass LCD laminating , iPhone X broken screen repair - YMJ laminating machine otherwise you’ll get little bubbles of air caught in the lamination....

Chosen Solution Hi everybody! Given the price of smartphones LCDs/digitizers testers, and the fact that these toys are often “model specific”, does anyone know a good Chinese manufacturer of these products and a place to competitively buy them? I know that “X in 1” models exist, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re sold on the mainstream websites at outrageously high prices. :( Thank you very much for your answer and time!...

Chosen Solution Does not complete the last cycle. Says lid lock is on but the lid is not locked and you can open. You have to unplug the machine and the plug it in and set it to the last cycle to complete. after a while smells like something burning. @eficken it is a good indication that when it says the lid lock is on but it isn’t that this is where your trouble is....

Chosen Solution I have a MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010). I need to replace my battery A1370 and I could only find generic ads like “A1375 / A1406 Battery Apple MacBook Air 11 - A1370 / A1465”. Obviously Im afraid to buy it and receive something that wont fit. Is it true that the cable connector of the A1375 battery wont fit in the same spot as the A1370? I saw this post online somewhere....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have big problems with a phone that have been dropped. Screen and battery is replaced (was totaly damaged) and after this the earpiece is not working at all. I have changed both the front flex several times and the earpiece without success. Done a visual inspection on the board without to find anything. Is there any IC, resistor etc that handle only the earpiece? All other sound works great, so nothing like the iphone 7 sound ic problem....

Chosen Solution Hello everybody! I went into service mode, tell me how to get out of it. I have yellow triangle when i turn off the camera. I found a solution for my problem: Shutter speed and aperture need to be on “A” Auto - its very important Press and hold MENU/Set + WB and turn off the camera. After you’ll see option for rallback firmware, push WB(right) 2 times I would be happy if someone it helps....

Chosen Solution I have a My Book external hard drive that I have had for years. There are a ton of memories on there and the drive is completely filled. I used it the other day and I can’t remember if I ejected it properly or not. But now it won’t show up when I plug it in. When I go to disk utility, the hard drive does show up! But none of the options are available!...

Chosen Solution After machine has filled up with water and is starting the wash cycle f 05 error code comes up. Went through diagnostic test in the manual and goes through c:00-c:08 with no problem. Try to wash a load, still comes up with f 05 code. The manual says it is a water temperature sensor error, but there is no heating element present.? According to the manual, that washer takes in hot and cold water and adjusts the ratio to achieve the desired temperature, so it doesn’t need a heating element....

Chosen Solution Hi I have a late 2009 model MacBook 13 Inch. The USB ports on the side are starting to become less reliable than they should. For example when I plug a USB in, most of the time it will connect properly, but then it will disconnect automatically. I’m pretty sure this is from the connectors cords being loose. Is it a possibility to replaced that section and the board with those ports in....

Chosen Solution Hello all, I’m sure this has been covered at some point but I just want to be certain of my information before I take apart my iMac. The iMac came supplied with a single solid state drive which I assume is connected to the SATA connector which is visible immediately when the screen is removed. This is an assumption on my part. I was hoping I could fit a Blade type SSD (NVME or M....

Chosen Solution Got fresh iPhone4S battery from iFixit, no big deal to put it in. Although at first it seemed to sustain the unit for a couple days, now it barely lasts a one day, doing the common drop quickly to 20% then prematurely die. Silly thing does a lot of surfing by itself, ‘Siri’ or other apps inquiring about things in the background, despite all services being off. The decline may have coincided with iOS upgrades, the way Apple tends to ruin everything....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have an iphone 6. The LCD doesn’t power on when all the flex cables are connected (LCD, digitizer, front camera/speaker assembly, finger print scanner). When I connect the three flex cables (LCD, digitizer, finger print scanner) the LCD powers up. So I came to a conclusion that the front camera/speaker is short on the logicboard of the phone. How can this be fixed? Any help will be appreciated....

Chosen Solution I replaced my iPhone 6s battery today using the ifixit battery replacement kit and followed all of the steps meticulously. However when I went to use my front camera, it showed completely black. Then I went to snapchat and it wouldn’t allow me to even switch to use the front camera. What could be the issue? I checked the ribbon and it wasn’t torn. Do you mean the “selfie” camera?...

Chosen Solution Can’t complete front panel replacement. Home button & digitizer ribbon cables won’t let me close front panel against chassis. Any suggestions how to place those ribbon cables so they are not on the way? Is it the Touch Screen flex cable that is on the way preventing to proper assembly? If yes, they go “hidden” behind the LCD and a little part goes hidden “inside” the chassis. Is tricky and very hard to explain in words how to do it....

Chosen Solution I have 8 years old setup. Intel E5700 3.0 GHz dual core 4 gb ram Gigabyte g41 series motherboard Integrated graphics Windows 7 Ultimate The setup was unused for last one year. when I started it again then cmos failed. So I replaced battery and cleared cmos. This turned it on.but now it has display problem. I have attached picture for reference(ignore the white circle, that’s my camera flash)....

Chosen Solution I just replaced my lightning headphone jack assembly on my iPhone 5c. Everything went well and I do not think that I damaged anything. I tested the home button (reason for the replacement- I broke one of the prongs/pins off when replacing the battery) and that worked. Tested Siri, mic, speaker, etc… all worked fine. Attempted to use my headphones a little later and they don’t work. Tested multiple sets of headphones and a rca cable to connect to my car stereo and those didn’t work....
