Chosen Solution Hello! I was recently opening up my Macbook Pro for the first time, and all was well, but when I went to screw everything back in, the back three screws (the long ones) WILL NOT GO IN! All they do is just screw in a tiny bit then get insainly difficult to screw in, and I don’t want to strip them, so I pull them out. Please help ASAP!...
Chosen Solution Hi, while disassembling the display panel, I noticed that Lenovo uses a special adhesive like the one smartphone battery uses, which can be easily removed by pulling. An demonstration of the adhesive I’m talking about can be found here: https://youtu.be/RO1Kjb0M_J0 (around 2:55), or https://youtu.be/y6x0i-x6a0A I love the idea of this kind of tape, but didn’t find such adhesive customized for my display. The closest result I found is Tesa Bond & Detach, https://youtu....
Chosen Solution When using water dispenser there is a loud banging noise. I replaced the water filter and the dual inlet valve. The noise was still there after replacing both parts. Took the filter out and reinstalled and the noise stopped for a short time then returned. When the noise is present the water flow is greatly reduced. Try turning the water pressure down, Then slowly turn it uo till the banging starts, then back it out a half or quarter turn....
Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve upgraded a late 2014 27’ 5K iMac with an Crucial MX500 1To SSD. (iMac 15,1 I5 3,5Ghz, 32Go RAM) The Imac was originally running with an 1To Seagate HDD, fusion drived with a 128Go Apple SSD blade. The installation was flawless.

Chosen Solution My MacBook Pro accidently took a tumble the other day, and now the cd drive won’t read cd’s. How much would it cost to fix/repair this problem? May only be a disconnected cable Run Applications->Utilities->System Profiler look under ATA devices. Verify the divice is listed. If it is not the cable is disconnected, damaged or the device may be damaged, only further examination can provide a solution. If this answer is acceptable please return and mark it....
Chosen Solution So I was fixing my MacBook by replacing the fan, which had stopped working, as well as replacing my optical drive with an SSD. In the process, I snapped the iSight cable, so I guess that’s the webcam gone :/ I’m ok with that, but when I put it all together again and put in the charging cable, the thing wouldn’t power on. The MacBook was fully discharged before the operation, so I thought it would just take some time to charge or something, but the LED indicators showing how high the battery was didn’t turn on, and after leaving it charging some time, it wouldn’t turn on....
Chosen Solution I have a Kitchenaid Microwave KEMS378GSS0. So the lights on, the fan’s running, and the carousel is turning, but only intermittent heating. Before you jump in with the magnetron needs replacing, please read on. The thing is, I’ve found pushing on the door handle or a light ’thump’, is usually enough to start the microwave heating when it’s not (or stop it sometimes, if it was heating.) There’s a noticeable ’thrum’ (noise of some electrical part engaging) when that happens, even after the microwave has already started....
Chosen Solution I had a philips monitor (don’t know model no more) for now about a year, yesterday turning on my computer there was no image so I thought my monitor was off (was the case) though I couldn’t menage to turn it back on. Unplugged power cable and plugged it back, it worked so didn’t bother about it. Today I turn my monitor on, since I turned it off yesterday, no problem for about 5-10 seconds, then turns off, I had to unplug the power cable again to make it work....
Chosen Solution Hi there, wondering whether anyone has any idea how to get my iPod Classic up and running. I recently replaced the hard drive with a 128GB SDXC CF card with iFlash adaptor. I’ve done this before on another iPod and it worked great, but this time I’ve ran into problems. When I plugged the iPod into the PC and opened iTunes it asked me to restore the iPod which I did, however all it did was go through the process without actually doing anything to the iPod....
Chosen Solution Hello there I recently fixed an old iPod Touch 3rd gen. 64 gb where the touchscreen was not responsive. After fixing it, I was able to update the firmware to 5.1. Previously the firmware was 5.01 Right after that, the battery was not charging. The indicator in iTunes and on the screen itself were showing the battery life decreasing and a couple of time it warned me that the power was below 20%....
Chosen Solution Assuming this MBP works, I just bought a i7-3520M 13” Mid 2012 MBP 13” on eBay for $76 ($65+shipping) since it wasn’t tested and needs a hard drive :-). I know I’m taking a chance on this, but I won’t feel bad if this doesn’t work out. From what I can tell, the one I bought is a factory 8GB RAM system. Since I need to purchase a drive from the start, I might as well start out with an SSD since they’re cheap....
Chosen Solution Is the iPhone 5s Upper Component guide the same as for the iPhone SE? I realize it is a different part - just wondering what (if anything) must be done differently . This is the guide I’m referring to: iPhone 5s Upper Component Cable Replacement If not, then what is different? I unfortunately damaged the cable during a battery replacement… completely my foolish fault, but now the flash doesn’t work at all....
Chosen Solution Good Afternoon! Supposedlsy the iphone SE and iPhone 6s have the same specs, as I heard is the internals of the 6s and the body of a 5, so my question is: If I wanted to do a bodyswap from a SE to a 6/6S, would it be possible? Are the 6S and SE mainboard connectors the same? Thanks in advance! Hi Luis Martins, Sadly the IPhone SE and the IPhone 6 have different FPC connectors so this inter makes swapping internal parts impossible....
Chosen Solution Apple iBook G3/366 (Firewire/Clamshell) Specs Identifiers: Firewire - M7721LL/A* - PowerBook2,2 - M6411 - System 10.3.9 & 9.2.2 320MB RAM. During Spring break I decided to get this old one up and running. Everything is doing great with the exception of the wireless net work (ethernet runs fine). I was amazed at just how well this old jewel runs Adobe CS programs. I have forgotten how or even if I can hook it up with my existing network or what I need to do to get it to work....

Chosen Solution a few months ago these keys have stopped working and ive tried to clean them with compressed air but that hasnt helped Hi, Try plugging in a USB keyboard and see if it works OK. If it does then you most probably have a faulty keyboard. It is easier to replace the keyboard than try to fix it as you can cause more problems than you solve if you attempt this....
Chosen Solution Our Mac Pro 2013 is in a weird state where it had been shut down over night, when we have gone to power it up again, the lights (on the back) come on like it’s doing something, the lights stay on for about 15 secs then fade down. The computer makes no chime, and doesn’t (seem to) do anything following this. Any ideas, help, assistance appreciated. This sounds like a power supply issue....
Chosen Solution Hello Brain Trust; It has come to my attention that I am limited to OS 10.11.6 due to the age of my computer. (mid 2009 model A1278) I have upgraded the RAM in the past and am still looking for ways to improve my quite slow performance. Is there another OS that I can move to that will help with this problem? I KNOW! Step one is clearing out all the crap on my HD because I’ve got 17....
Chosen Solution Hello, I replaced my MacBook Pro battery. Unfortunately, during this process, I ended up losing the sticker covering the battery connector. Does anybody know how important that sticker is? Is it like some special material that protects the battery connector? Ultimately, I ended up sticking some black tape on it, but no idea if that’s OK. Hi Hope you are well The sticker doesn’t actually do anything apart from tell people to not remove the battery on some models Any questions please ask Thanks:)
