Chosen Solution My Mac Pro just switched off, and its not coming back on, its dead! After googling it people say it could be the logic board, but most likely the power unit its about 6 years old, i got a second hdd installed before, worked fine but then the mac would not start up (flashing question mark) seems to be a common enough issue but that was resolved, the hdd was not installed correctly....
Chosen Solution Bit of background - my wife’s Macbook A1534 had a broken screen and chassis due to physical damage. I bought a comparable model with a dead logic board on eBay, and I transplanted her logic board into the new one. Everything worked fine for a few weeks, until she was recently unable to turn it on after letting the battery die. There is no power, nothing. I tried resetting SMC and PRAM to no avail....

I can’t find the answer anywhere. Thanks Hi I managed to get hold of Miele and was told that the first wash would have calibrated so there was no need to worry!!

Chosen Solution My daughter had water spilt on her phone. I opened it up and dried any droplets I could see and wiped with some iso alcohol. I left it open with some silicone sachets in a warm area for about 5 days. The phone switched on when charged but is showing no service so I cleaned the antenna area and tried again. Still no service but when I manually searched for network operators, 3 of them appeared....

Is there any help? it’s gone you should haver never turn it on.what you should have done was put in some rice for like week try to give it a bath in isopropyl alcohol… it does cure a lot of problems… off course, take it appart first....
Chosen Solution My iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer can charge from wall chargers but it can charge from everything else dock, computer and car charger. I think there is something wrong inside the iPod where the dock connector is. Any idea what could be causing the problem? Patrick Mifsud, I would think that the error is not your iPod but your wall charger. I checked on pinouts.ru and I do not see that the pins that are responsible for charging change with each adapter....

Chosen Solution The wall wart on my xoom tablet has died…not enough output to even test polarity. Does anyone know for sure what the center and sleeve polarity is? I want to adapt another 12v charger. The tip is positive and the sleeve is negative. Sleeve being the outside and tip being the inside. The original charger is 12V 18 W 1500mA from what I read. Hope this helps, good luck...
Chosen Solution Hello, I replaced the trackpad of my Macbook Air and after the power up trackpad and keyboard are working fine. Then I type in my password and the system is booting. After this reboot keyboard and trackpad are completly dead. An external mouse is working fine. The system reports, that there is no keyboard. I rebooted several times, but the behaviour is still the same: right afer power up keyboard and trackpad are fine, when the reboot is complete, both are inoperable....
Chosen Solution My keyboard is not typing anything and it may be due to stuff being under the keys or could be a setting any help would be appreciated. Daniel, Try uninstalling/reinstalling the keyboard driver through device manager and reboot computer. Driver will reinstall automatically, so if it was a problem/corrupt driver, key board should now work. If not working and you suspect there could be a bad build up of dust debri under the keys you could try blowing key board with dry compressed air or power off/remove battery, take a couple photos of key board to remember key location, remove keys and clean with 90% Isopropyl alcohol on soft brush/cloth and dry, install keys and try....
Chosen Solution Hi there, Recently, my PS4 slim started making a knocking noise, seemingly from the disc drive, as it only makes the noise while a disc is inserted. Apart from this noise, it operates normally (reading and ejecting discs is fine, etc). I was wondering if anyone might know what the cause might be, as well as if there is an inexpensive fix to the problem. Thanks in advance....
Chosen Solution I replaced the battery in this MBP just over a year ago. It now shuts off immediately when unplugged and Coconut Battery registers no battery at all. Does this indicate a faulty battery or a logic board problem? The latter seems more likely to me, but I’m asking because a battery for another computer of the same model that I ordered from iFixit around the same time last year also recently turned out to be faulty....
Chosen Solution I can’t take a picture and the lens will not retract. A message appears on the screen" “lens error” Most likely the lens mechanism is jammed. This may happen because of dirt getting in - a few grains of sand will do it - or because the lens barrel got knocked. Here’s a general guide for resolving this type of problem. And here’s another, written by someone who I believe is also a iFixit contributor ;)

I noticed that the accident that happened to the housing and LCD . Reached the logic board with a very little harm . I attached a photo of pcb diagram and I mentioned the part that teared ....
Chosen Solution I decided to replace the battery on an otherwise well working Iphone 6s. I purchased the battery on this site and followed the guide carefully. I had some trouble removing the old battery and possibly used more than “a few drops“ of Isopropyl alcohol, but all in all I felt I had done a good job. I was definitely careful not to put pressure on the volume buttons while removing the battery....
Chosen Solution I’m looking for an evaluation of available video cards for the Power Mac G5. You probably have this mayer but on the chance you don’t and this will help I’m listing a URL for you. Ralph http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/po… perhaps try taking a look over at xlr8yourmac.com ? It should support a wide variety of cards. It will not, however support cards that came with powermac G4’s, or G3’s (Some kind of uncompatibility between the way apple used the pinnout of the agp connector from what I have read) You can use any flashed card without “taping” the pins, and any other card that it originally came from....
Chosen Solution Everytime I press the power button, the white power LED comes on for a few seconds, and I hear fan noise then the machine just “clicks” off, almost as if someone removed the power cord abruptly. Needless to say, I didn’t remove the power nor was the supply interrupted. I’ve tried diagnosing the problem by removing external devices one by one, but that made no difference. Also I did all the resets you can think of etc....
Chosen Solution For a couple weeks the Macbook Air has been shutting down suddenly. It might work fine for a few hours, then the display goes black and it’s shut down. To restart it, I have to wait a few minutes, or unplug the Magsafe and then plug it back into the computer, at which point it starts up. After the first shutdown like this, the second usually comes faster, e....
