Chosen Solution A few minutes after starting up, my Mac Mini’s display on an external monitor changes such that the left portion appears on the right side and the right portion appears on the left. Needless to say, it’s unusable in that condition. Is this a sign of a failing graphics card, or something else? @cynthiareplogle - OK so you got the DG system (Macmini5,2) which has had issues with the AMD Radeon HD 6630M GPU....

Chosen Solution I bought my ipad pro 9.7 in December of 2016. How do I know what the release version is? I suspect you are really asking what is the version of iOS software my iPad is running. Open up the Settings app (looks like a gear). Under General settings in the right column you’ll see ‘About’ at the top open it up and you’ll see the heading ‘Version’ which currently is 10....

Chosen Solution Does anyone have any idea what wrong with my Mac? Your lid must have gotten a good hit. What has happened here is the driver logic on the back of the LCD panel has broken free from the glass so the area that is black is not getting the signaling to de-phase the crystals so the back light is not able to get though. Here’s a write up and a model as reference: How LCDs Work....

Chosen Solution Dear community, I am trying to find reliable information about new or used replacement parts for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro. The keyboard needs to be replaced, and I thought about changing the whole metal body, too. My search pointed me to the model number 1286, but this seems to be ambiguous. Used parts refer to this number, but sometimes also to older Macbooks like the “pre-Mid-2012” version from 2011 with the same model number or even earlier....

Chosen Solution I had a minor spill of soup onto my laptop two days ago, which I cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol. A couple hours later, my laptop was still turning on but was booting in safe mode, with all the keys on caps lock, making me unable to log on. The next day, my laptop just wouldn’t turn on at all. I’m wondering if this is an issue with the logic board or the keyboard....

Chosen Solution Hey, I’ve been having problems with the keyboard for a while and took my 2017 laptop to an authorised apple repair store. Besides that it’s been working just perfectly. They said it failed the Mac Resource Inspector (EFI), Temperature Sensor testing failed. And that it was sticky around some of the keys. To fix it they needed to change the top case and battery (900 bucks). I agreed since I need the computer every day for my job....

Chosen Solution So after I remove the microphone from its adhesive to transfer onto a new screen, it is no longer sticky and it moves around. I was wondering what could I do to stop this. Are you referring to the top microphone which is part of the front camera ribbon cable assembly? On some screens they may not come with the adhesive that the top microphone is supposed to align and sit on....

Chosen Solution Why is nothing happening when I press the power button? Try plugging in the charger that came with the device for at least thirty minutes.

Chosen Solution I would like to fit the ATI Firepro V8800 to my new imac i7 27" 3.4mhz. Possibly housed in a separate box connected with a cable through a hole in the memory cover positioned at the bottom of the display. Can this be done? http://www.amd.com/uk/products/workstati… I won’t say it can’t be done–almost anything can if throw enough money at it. You would be better off if you need that kind of card to sell your imac and buy a MacPRO....

Chosen Solution I have an inspiron 1545 that could use some upgrades, so I was wondering that is there a DDR2 ram chip or heatsink that lights up? expenses don’t matter, also would there be other accessories that are heatsinks or glow? I’ve never heard of a DDR2 SODIMM’s that have LEDs. There is no room for a module with LED’s and there is no such thing as glowing CPU or GPU heat sinks either....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 5. The battery has lost much of its capacity, so I’m considering replacing it with the iFixit replacement kit. The phone is longer in its normal warranty period. I’m curious if performing this repair myself would void any sort of implied warranty, or other protections that consumer protection law in the US may give me. Will I be voiding any sort of future support from apple by performing this repair myself?...

Chosen Solution I bought my 3D Vizio in 2012. I dropped the remote last month and it stopped working. I have since purchased two remotes - the same one that was damaged - and neither of them will work. Fresh batteries, but neither will operate the TV. Am I doing something wrong? Does it need to be coded in? I’ve also tried two different universal remotes, and had no luck with them either!...
