Chosen Solution The physical specs of the 2TB hard drive seem compatible: 2TB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" 9.5mm high. Is there any incompatibility other than physical that would prevent from upgrading with that hard drive? Thanks. Fred. Any 2.5" SATA drive should work fine. One standard trick to get a speed bump is to replace the current internal hard drive with: a faster RPM drive (replacing a 5400 drive with a 7200 drive, for example)a hybrid drive (a traditional hard drive with a large cache)a solid-state SSD drive You can then take your larger traditional hard drive and swap it into the optical drive bay with an appropriate mounting bracket....

Chosen Solution I am trying to replace the camera on my samsung s4 mini but cannot find a replacement camera for it. Is it possibly compatible with the regular S4 camera? Thanks! Hi, Here is a link for a camera replacement part (both front and rear facing - you didn’t specify) for your phone. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page to find them http://www.etradesupply.com/samsung/gala…

Chosen Solution Yes, that camera is an OEM camera. The parts that ifixit sells are used OEM parts from their teardowns. Their parts are actually new for the most part, because they probably only power the device on once, then tear it apart.

Chosen Solution Hello, i have 2013 MacBook Air, and can you change the screen for a screen like macbook pro 2018 has? Sorry no The retina models use a different interface iDP (eDP) vs what yours has which is LVDS. Think of it this way the difference between the older analog broadcast TV vs what we now have with digital HD TV’s.

Chosen Solution Fans run on high from startup. The fix from razer doesn’t cover this model. Is there a fix other than sending it in (out of warranty)? Also, keyboard stopped working. I was able to fix it by reinstalling Windows, but that only worked 2 or 3 times. Now I have to use it in tablet mode. Is it worth sending in for repair or just cut my losses and get something else?...

Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve got this on my iMac, but two external displays are running fine: I will have this open for an SSD repair, is there anything I can order or check on to fix this display? thx!!!! @herojig that looks like a TAB error. The thin ribbon cables that enter the LCD panel from the LCD driver board have somehow lost contact. Those are bonded in a special manner....

Chosen Solution Nice and easy question, Is 1610A3 interchangeable with 610A3B? If it is, is it also interchangeable with 1610A1 (like it is with 1610A2 and 1610A3) The 1610AX are all cross-compatible although it’s preferable to use an A3 in place of the older 1610A2 & 1610A1. As for the 610A3B, it can also be used wherever an 1610AX was installed. I would not use an 1610AX in place of the 610A3B in an iPhone 7 though ( I haven’t tried it personally but some have reported is does work)....

Chosen Solution I have a 49inch LG TV (LG49UF6450). I’ve tried measuring the motherboard’s voltages (listed as Drver ON, GND, 13.2, 13.2, GND, and Power ON and they seem to be fine (as shown below). 3.49VGND13.16V13.16VGND3.39V Then I was doing more research and it was told somewhere in this forum to heat up the motherboard to 180C for 10 min and then back to room temp to see if that will affect the cold solder joints of the BGA (possibly) and it didnt work....

Chosen Solution Hey! So my phone use to lose its charge fast when in use as well, however I replaced the battery and now it drains much slower. The battery would overheat with my old one, and still does now when on charge, so I use a fan every time I charge my phone with my old and new battery. Even when I power my phone off overnight with 100% charge, it will drain down to 50%, or if I leave it locked overnight it will be fully gone by the morning....

Chosen Solution I bought my MacBook Pro model A1212 about 2 months ago and since ive had it i noticed that it gets really hot when plugged into power, sometimes crashes when it gets really hot and occasionally gets thin horizontal lines in the screen (possibly unrelated?) I have installed smcFanControl to keep it cooler but still sometimes crashes. I have seen the temperature reach up to 70°C on max fan speed a couple of times, so im getting pretty worried i might fry something if i haven’t already....

Chosen Solution Hi, I dropped my iPhone 7 plus down some metal stairs a few weeks after getting it. The screen was smashed and it would turn on, display the apple logo, then boot to a black screen and turn off. I have bought an official apple replacement screen and replaced it correctly. The phone now does exactly the same thing just with a working screen. it turns on, goes to the apple logo, then a black screen, then turns off....

Chosen Solution Apple admitted that is was slowing down older iPhones in order to preserve battery life and avoid crashes. But this information wasn’t conveyed to users until someone noticed how much faster their old iPhone became with a new battery fitted. In response, Apple apologized and started a $29 battery replacement program. (What a dirty company!) As I have recently noticed that my iPhone 6 battery died so fast, how can I keep the battery running longer even without replace a new battery?...

Chosen Solution I wonder if it would increase the chance of not cracking the front glass if it has a screen protector on. Yeah you should be able to as long as it’s tempered glass and not plastic. You could run the risk of melting a plastic one. But if I were you, I would remove the screen protector as it could absorb heat and make it harder to remove the glass and run the risk of damaging it....

Chosen Solution I have an early 2008 imac EMC 2210 and it needs a new hard drive. Is it worth it to get a new hard drive and will the computer still be supported today? HiYa, Hard drives are cheap and as long as it just the hard drive and a bit of effort you can get these back up and running quite happily. These do suffer from a common issue with their GPUs which is worth knowing about (google)....

Chosen Solution Looking to get the glass replaced on an iPad 4 and have the iPad 3 glass on hand. Wondering if they are the same? Didn’t see a definitiv answer on the tear down but I’m assuming they are? Thanks! So I just tested an iPad 3 Digitizer and LCD, They Work. They are fully compatible with each other. No they don’t different length a width in flex cable yea the cable connects and works but fitting the flex between the LCD and frame is a nightmare just buy the screen for the model iPad you need....

Chosen Solution Is there someplace I can send my Kindle DX to have the scroll button replaced? It’s too complicated of a job for my skill set. @esmit471 , Elzoria, I put a couple links below that say they repair Kindles, you could also try a good local cell phone/computer repair shop and have them take a look and estimate repair. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button....

Chosen Solution Hi, I know I already submitted a question about my tablet, but there’s another issue I’ve had since I got it. The volume works just fine, it’ll go up and down with no problem, but it my tablet won’t play any sound unless you have earbuds, earphones, or a speaker plugged in. It drives my absolutely insane and I have no idea what’s going on! Please help me!...
