I have runned Bullguard and I keep receiving intrusion alert pretty much every day.

Chosen Solution Hi guys, a very dishonest repair shop made a total mess repairing an iphone 5c of my cousin…a bunch of missing scews and parts (to ensure the instability of the phone=more “repairs”), including the metal bracket that keeps the lcd connectors in place on the logic board: now this piece is not in stock in any of the parts-shop near my location (Italy), is there a diy-temporary-solution for it?...

Chosen Solution So I dropped my iPhone 7 in a lake for a month in a half and I found it in the lake, so I opened it up and put it in some rice and later found out rice doesn’t work , and it was corroded inside, and the screen looked water damaged.

Chosen Solution This iPhone 5S boots into Recovery mode. When connecting to iTunes and clicking restore, the device turns off right after the extracting software step. Then restarts into DFU.(iTunes err 4013) Any ideas? Thank you! Error 4013 is cause by a misbehaving NAND or just flat out faulty NAND. First I would try other tools before you declare this phone bricked. Like try to use 3u tools or something like that....

While it sustained no visible physical damage, both front and rear cameras, flash light and face ID stopped working afterwards.

It does power up. My question is should I fix it and hope I can use it or will I have trouble trying to get it hooked up to a carrier? @rdtechservice,Rafael, Phone may be locked or Black listed and may not be worth the trouble,especially if they did not pay their cell bill as they did not pay you rent....

Chosen Solution My iPod works when plugged in to the wall charger, but not when I unplug it. It says it’s charged but when I unplug it it’s dead. How old is it? It sounds like your battery needs replacing. if no residual charge - either the wire to the battery is broken, or the charging circuitry is stuffed How do I fix it ,or is it garbage

Chosen Solution I was coming back from school, and i found my yoga 510’s screen cracked. It is a pretty big crack but thankfully everything including touch still works. It is less than a year since I bought it, and I am pretty sure i did not hit my laptop: it might have been because i was running??? Can I get it repaired for free, or how much will it cost?...

Chosen Solution I have a still-functional mid-2009 MacBook Pro. I use it mainly as a gateway to the internet. But many of my SAAS programs won’t talk to it under any circumstances! Is it worthwhile to replace the battery & hard drive (& probably the fans)? Do your SAAS programs have a minimum operating system requirements? Have these programs ever worked on this machine? Are you able to access the internet otherwise?...

Chosen Solution iMac G4 17 800 MHzEMC1936 Hi I’ve got an iMac G4 17" it’s been unplugged for a year. I’m trying to get it running again but now it won’t do a thing. I’ve had the lead checked and that’s ok, opened it up and reset the PMU, replaced the battery (and reset the PMU again), but each time no joy and absolutely no response. Does this mean the power unit needs replacing or the logic board ?...

Chosen Solution I have to substitute the battery of my MacBook Pro Unibody 13" (mid 2012). I’m probably going to buy the Essential Electronics Toolkit, but I do not know if the “Tri-wing #1”, included in the kit, is the same “Tri-wing Y1 Screwdriver”, required in the guide. I’m sorry for the silly question! Thanks! They both have the same bit.

Chosen Solution Hi Dan, Do you know if you can upgrade to SSD on the baseline model for the late 2015 iMac with only 1TB HD option or the SSD upgrade on the iMac can only be done for the Fusion Drive option? Thanks If you are talking about swapping out the 3.5" HD for a 2.5" SSD you’ll have the needed Custom SATA cable in place, otherwise you’ll need to pop the logic board out to install the cable which can be gotten as a spare....

Chosen Solution Hello. I have a Kenmore elite fridge, that isn’t cooling. It’s a little over a year old, shouldn’t be anything major. Called local repair guy, paid a $30 service call, said was out of freon. I ordered bullet piercing value and got can stop leak with freon.
