Chosen Solution Ok, this problem is now becoming quite a nuisance for me now, I do hope someone out there can help me. My iPhone 5s (Gold, A1530 64GB) is not turning on, I have tried numerous methods to recover it, I left it in to charge for a few hours, nothing, I put it into DFU mode and connected it to iTunes, every time I attempt to restore it it boots up with a white apple and black background (which is strange as it is not space grey) eventually after “waiting for iPhone” it gives me “error 4005....

Chosen Solution So i have a controller that need the left joystick replaced but i cannot for the life of me find an original joystick replacement, its either an old one ripped from old controller or a cheap one claiming to be original (because all the reviews said they have alot of dead zone). So my question is which part of the joystick analog that causes dead zone? Is it the mechanical rods?...

Chosen Solution @refectio. so i removed u2000 and the processor from that 6s board, still getting shorts to the left of u2000. theres a few solder pads missing on the cpu and i was wondering can i replace it with a new cpu or is it the usual its paired with the board and i will have to try and repair cpu traces. the reason i removed cpu is because of the solder balls around it didnt look to good...

Chosen Solution I bought a replacement battery and the instructions are really excellent. I was happy, that everything started. But now I get displayed, that the battery is manufactured in January 2011 — more than 10 years ago! That is new? Really? I am really concerned and asking myself, what to do. Is there a reasonable explanation for that? As requested I show the Screenshot of CoconutBattery: Before this I installed Battery Health 3:...

Chosen Solution I was wondering since the screen dimensions are exactly the same on the sapphire model Apple Watch and base model then would that mean if I wanted a sapphire screen I can just take a screen from a watch edition and put it onto a series 1 Apple Watch and it would work? You’ll need to stay within the same series as the screens are a bit different between them....

Chosen Solution I dropped my iphone 5 into the water. But the memory chip seems to be fine. Now I am wondering if it is possible to unsolder the Hynix H2JTDG2MBR NAND Memory Chip and transfer it to a new Iphone. I would buy a new working iphone and would like to change the Hynix H2JTDG2MBR in this phone with my old one to recover my data and to have a new working phone by the the side....

Chosen Solution Hi! I’m looking to purchase the separate VESA parts needed to convert both my late 2015 and my 2019 iMac (27" 5K) from the normal table stand to the VESA mount. I’m well aware that these parts isn’t sold officially but they are available second hand. It seems though that Apple is using different serial numbers on the parts depending on model years, but I still suspect that the actual parts are the same dimensions....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have had my mac mini for about 5 months, and in that time have also maxed out the ram (4GB). I was wondering if there is a way to force the amount of Video-RAM above 256MB. Is there any thing i can change in system preferences? This model uses a GeForce 9400M that shares memory with the system. I have not found where that could be upgraded, but: Officially, this model is capable of supporting 4 GB of RAM, but as first reported by MacminiColo, this model unofficially can use 8 GB of RAM after applying EFI Firmware Update 1....

Chosen Solution Is there incentive to answer questions or create pages on ifixit? Why do people do it? Azaria Kelman that is a really good question. For me it all comes down to this. Knowledge is power,so if I posses some knowledge about a certain topic, and I create a guide, or answer a specific question, I share this knowledge. This will enable that particular person to be empowered.To be empowered to accomplish a specific task, provides one with a sense of fulfilment, accomplishment and pride....

Chosen Solution I recently purchased this Ipad 2 A1396 as I was certain I could get it working again. With little experience behind testing filters and fuses I wanted this to be a learning experience. The main issue is that the backlight is not on, causing the screen to display dim. So before I go out and shell out the extra money on an LCD that may possibly or may not fix the issue, I’d like to start with testing the circuit....

Chosen Solution After laughing with my stupid mistake.. Can this nand be fixed? This is an iPhone 7 128GB NAND Flash (phone was locked). I accidentally broke the pads while removing it. I also tried scratching the pads a bit, thinking that i could solder there (might have made things worse). However, testing with my multimeter for continuity.. every scratched pad, is now connected to each other. The reason why i removed the nand is because i bought a U stick, and i was hoping of making a usb out of it...

Chosen Solution thinking of setting up an iphone repair business, but you cannot connect multiple types of iphones ti itunes, it has a limit./ So what does one do? First of all, what’s the limit? I do it frequently. Secondly, you can make new accounts

Chosen Solution My model has the freezer in the bottom. The fridge was unplugged for six months - located at a cottage. When restored power, the fridge seemed to be working, inside light and fan were working. Fridge is about 6-7 years old and has never been a problem although water was collecting in the freezer floor which I assumed was due to plugged drain. Took off back panel, fan is working blowing air and the compressor is warm....

Chosen Solution Please can someone tell me what this is supposed to mean and how i can solve it? I restored the phone 2 times already and it keeps doing the restart and loop thing. I don’t have varranty anymore ad i doubt anyone could repair it in a normal store anyway, we don’t have apple service in my town. In addition, my phone never had any issues before and it just started doing this 2 days ago....

Chosen Solution Hi All, Just curious, is the lack of detailed teardown guides on eMac’s due to concern over un-skilled work on CRT displays? Or just that no one has had time to make them? I ask because i have about 50 of these things to service this summer so i can make guides. (My school district is so broke i’m replacing blown caps on MLB’s and power supplies) David...

Chosen Solution Hi! I’ve got a 12" 1.33GHZ G4 which boots up fine, but then constantly goes into sleep mode. You can wake it up, but within seconds it goes back to sleep. Occasionally it works longer, but without fail it ends up asleep again, and it is therefore unusable. Thinking it was a reed switch issue, I replaced the entire screen assembly/cabling twice with known good units, and both times it had the same result....

Chosen Solution Hello! I have an MSI laptop that’s been working perfectly for the last 5 or so years. Today it just died and won’t turn on. I was working on it, then looked at my phone, and suddenly hear the fan stopped working and the laptop is off. There were no sounds, no beeping or cracking. No messages about low battery charge. When I try to turn it on, there is zero reaction from it....

Chosen Solution I would like to change the lcd in a 2nd generation ipad. The original part number on the back of the lcd is lp097x02-sln1. I know there is a lp097x02- slq1 as well. I do not know the difference. Will they interchange? could someone please explain to me the difference between them. I believe they are both 2nd generation lcd screens. I don’t know if this applies in particular to the codes you mention but very often different numbers correspond to the same panel with different mountings, it’s not unusual one lcd model is used by different tablet manufacturers....
