Chosen Solution can I replace the motherboard of ASUS Q302L Core 13-4030U with the motherboard of TP300L Core i7-4770S also called I7-4th Gen? Update (08/23/2022) my old motherboard has 6GB ram and the new one has 4 GB ram is it not going to be any issue? Yes, it should work fine because TP300L Core i7-4770S supported both types of RAM memory like DDR3-1333/1600, and DDR3L-1333/1600. So, the old motherboard RAM should be supported by this motherboard....

Chosen Solution I was able to complete the installation of the Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement and Battery for my iPhone7. The phone was able to turn on and work normally, however, I’m still unable to successfully charge the battery.Also, when I have the phone on, I can feel the battery getting hotter than it normally would before I made the battery replacement.I’m not sure what could be causing these two issues....

Chosen Solution Hello, I have an iPhone 7 screen was cracked and replaced and now the screen flickers. What causes this and how would I fix it? I also have an iPhone 6S plus that does the same. Does the original screen flicker if you re-install it? Screen flicker is usually caused by improperly seated or dirty connectors. Take a closer look, under magnification to see if there is any debris impeding a good electrical contact....

Chosen Solution It wasn’t dropped recently or knowingly mistreated. Every time we plug it into ANY computer (we’ve tried 3), using any USB (we’ve tried 2) cord it freezes iTunes and doesn’t even show up on iTunes. If I try to look at it using “computer” (using Windows Vista or Windows 7) it freezes that too. We tried running the diagnostic test. It won’t go past detecting “FW”. Which I don’t understand....

Chosen Solution I can turn the IPod on and it shows that it is disabled for 22,096,658 minutes. Lauren, “you can restore the device on the the same computer that you normally use to sync your ipod. Put the device into DFU mode, then open iTunes. Select your iPod in the sidebar, and click restore. This will restore the device to factory setting but it will DELETE ALL YOUR DATA if you have not backed it up, it will be lost....

Chosen Solution I’m disassembling a crt tv and I have been led to believe that the tube once discharged will release several toxic gases and I have heard some convincing myths in my day so If there actually is toxic gas in there at what tube size is it considered a dangerous dose? No gases in CRT’s the electron beam hits the phosphorus coatings on the face of the tube to create an image....

Chosen Solution Hello guys, my name is Cristiano, this is my first post here on iFixit. I would like to know, where i live one iMac 5K as an example, costs much more than it’s MSRP on US. I saw that iFixit and Ebay sells some Parts from iPhones/iMacs/MacBooks and others. Is it possible for me, as an Electrical Engineering Student, build the entire product using those Separate Parts? If yes, i would love to do it for the sake of studying, i love Hardware and would certainly be an incredible experience for me....

Chosen Solution Is there an adjuster for the timing chain and how do you adjust if so. Assuming your car is a W123 variant with the OM617 engine, the timing chain tensioner is hydraulic and allows no manual adjustment. It serves as the right (passenger side) chain guide and is accessible by removing the right side cam (valve) cover.

Chosen Solution Our late 2012 Macbook pro suffered some water damage. Symptoms were keys appeared stuck, and computer only booted in safe mode. There was minor corrosion on the keyboard connector to the logic board which I have cleaned as well as I can. On re-assembly everything works fine except for the ‘p’ key and the caps lock key. An external USB keyboard works fine. Can anyone direct me on likely fix - should I replace the top cover with the keys or i/o board etc....

Chosen Solution My SoundSticks II have been giving great sound since 2005, but I recently noticed that the left speaker is much quieter than the right. The sound is not distorted, but it less than half as loud, giving a useless stereo image. When listening to each of the four drivers, it seems as though they are all working equally. I am the OP, replying with the solution I found. The symptoms were very much as if a small resistance had been inserted in series with the left speaker....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 15" from 2010. It used to work fine, but all of a sudden when I tried turning it on one day it wouldn’t start up and give me three beeps. I knew this could be a RAM issue, so I reseated the RAM, after which it booted fine again. A day later however the problem returned. This time reseating the RAM didn’t do the job....

Chosen Solution My mind is absolutely boggled. I’ll try to make this short. I have an iPhone 6 Plus. Both microphones seem to work perfectly fine (I’ve tested the bottom microphone with Voice Recorder– super clear. I’ve tested the top microphone with Siri and Voice Dictation, understands me every single time) HOWEVER Whenever I make a phone call with this phone, the person on the other end cannot hear me whatsoever....

Chosen Solution What’s the reason for locking down the mobile phone once and for all while writing the correct code? Carrier subsidies - they use it to enforce the subsidy until the phone is paid off. Are you in the States or Japan? If you’re not in Japan you need a 3rd party to get it - otherwise call your carrier. DO NOT GUESS THE CODE - IT WILL EVENTUALLY PERMALOCK THE SIM STATUS!...

Chosen Solution Hi Guys, Wonder if anyone has experienced this issue. I have noticed a few times after replacing an iPhone 7 screen with an OEM screen, the maximum brightness can vary. This can sometimes even happen when installing the original Apple screen again. For example: if you turn the brightness up, most of the time it will keep getting brighter until it gets to the maximum level, but sometimes when the brightness is only at 80% level then it won’t get any brighter after this point, then while you’re using the phone the screen could suddenly become brighter because the brightness is at maximum level....

Chosen Solution Hi guys. Wondering if you can help. I basically brought a iPhone 7 last year. After running the phone for a few months the person I brought it off reported it stolen. From then it was basically Turned into an iPod with no cellular available and couldn’t get it unlocked to a different network. I believe it was 02 that imposed the lock. Now a year on we have been given another iPhone 7 with a cracked screen of a family member....
