Chosen Solution I heard that if you replace the screen on the iPhone 13 that Face ID won’t work anymore, is it true? Yes at the moment this is true. Even if you transfer the components across from the screens it will still not work. The front camera will not work properly either. Hopefully apple might fix this in the next software update. The only way to get Face ID back after a screen replacement on the 13 is to transfer one of the ICs on the back of the screen by micro-soldering....

Chosen Solution So Im planning on buying this iPad Air from someone. Everything works fine and it comes with cellular as well all for 70usd but the problem is with the home button as shown in the pic. Shd I still buy it and fix it myself? You’ll have to remove the digitizer to get access to the home button. What probably has happened is that the retaining bracket has moved and this pulled along the Home Button with it....

Chosen Solution Photos of the questionable LVDS cable: This laptop was having ocassional LCD glitch issues for a while. Since it has persisted, I replaced the LVDS cable and applied new tape to make sure the problem is fixed; I have a few spare cables. If it doesn’t, I need to try a display to rule out the GPU (somewhat common on this model). I don’t think the cable will come loose:...

Yours web is really super and I’m smitten with you. Keep it up. I have got 2 GHz model of Mac mini and I would like to upgrade it (RAM) and as you can see in the subject I mean definite model of RAM:...

Chosen Solution Hi, So I was replacing the LCD glass on my iPad 4 (a1458) and at first the screen worked great (before putting on adhesive) I tested it a second time before putting the adhesive on it again, then only 1" or so towards the right side was working. Nothing else was responding. Home button and lock button working. Could it be a faulty LCD, I tried reconnecting the cables a couple times but still no luck....

Chosen Solution This happened to a friend. When I arrived to try and help, the device was plugged into the wall, in an attempt to charge it :/ Is data recovery at all possible, as it’s NAND flash, or is that probably screwed? I imagine if it is, it’s very expensive. I realise there’s nothing that the average consumer can do as the drive can’t be removed. Animal urin is the worst kind to deal with....

Chosen Solution My Macbook air will boot up and load the full bar under-neath the apple logo but when the bar gets full it freezes and wont go to the user sign in page I am not sure what to do? The most common problem I’ve seen on this model with this symptom is a full hard drive. This is especially true right after a system upgrade. Try starting in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift keyon start up....

Chosen Solution Hello guys I want to use handoff or airdrop in my mac mini, do I need a new airport card? If necessary, please provide us with a compatible list. I’ve already tried Bluetooth dongle, but it’s not activated. Sadly, its just not possible to upgrade your AirPort. There are two aspects the hardware connection is very different between your system and the needed AirPort board and the OS level you require for your system won’t support it....

Chosen Solution My MacBook suddenly will not recognize any disc I insert. Blank CD’s won’t open itunes. Prerecorded CD’s & DVD’s won’t play. I can’t burn discs. Then the discs will not eject until I restart computer while holding down eject button. I hear the sounds of the discs being inserted at first, then it just stops. No disc icons will appear on desktop either. Can’t afford an expensive repair job....

Chosen Solution For some reason my macbook pro when i have a lot of application opened goes off and the battery is at 0% I have already done a test with coconut batter Update (06/18/2019) new result @danj Coconut is a nice and useful little utility but nothing is perfect. Battery data seems pretty bad to me..with capacity around 60% side issues can be easily expected. Try replicating the same conditions with battery disconnected and see if the Mac still turns off....

Chosen Solution I spilled thick milkshake on my HTC desire and the phon is dead, whatshould I do Monika, just like any other phone, you will have to clean it. If you do not, then you will have corrosion set it. Disassemble your phone, here is a decent video that will show you how to do that. Clean all the parts with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol. After that replace the battery and reassemble your phone and re-evaluate for any residual damage....

Chosen Solution Hi guy’s, i know this question has probably been asked a lot of time but, i have bought an iPhone 7 and the guy said that he replaced the screen and then the home button stopped working. I though that he damaged the flex (but i checked the flex and everything is right). So i purchased another home button (even if i loose touchId) and installed it. It is still not working....

Chosen Solution hi I got a ipod classic 7th gen 160gb it has a red x can yall fix it….this is my email for reply…… steve, the red x is most likely caused by a bad hard drive. Try to place your iPod into diagnostics mode and see what it tells you about the hard drive. Here is a great write up about how to place it in diagnostic mode ans what the test means....

You’re good =) repair in comfort, bro i changed 10 hoome buttons on i6 everyday and restore them no error 53.. u need to make sure the cable running for home button under lcd plate is fine.. also the home button has to be of good quality.. aftermarket doesnt matter.

Chosen Solution Basically, I want to know if I could build one. Buy all the parts, some how put firmware and what not on it, and then put it together. Also, would it work with a simcard, or would I need some type of authentication? yes. i have already put three iPhones together, from cannibalized parts. all of them work up to this date. as you need to put together original parts, you also doesnt need to load any operating system, or do any programing....

Chosen Solution My question is simple, you guys call the Hard Drive SSD but on the Apple site they call it a Flash Storage, is it the same? If so where can I get a 512 GB SSD? Good Q! As technology changes sometimes its hard for people to adapt to the newer terms. Solid State Drives (SSD) - is based on Flash storage. While Flash is often thought as being the slower technology....

Chosen Solution Is there any replacement guide for the CPU Processor(intel)? Hi @thatguybabs It seems on the replacement mainboard pictures from google and misc the processor is soldered directly into the mainboard, It is not intended to be user replaceable. BGA soldering takes some level of skills and equipment
