Chosen Solution There is a slot for a micro sd card, but I do not see a slot for a sim. Do I need to take the back off to access it? If your tablet supports it the sim card will be located on the same side of the tablet as the sd slot however not all tablets are made to support a sim card . This video shows how to change it out if its supported https://www....
Chosen Solution I sent my phone in for repairs the other day. Since then the battery life has dropped to 1/4 of what it was before. Is there a way of telling what serial number was on my original battery? Yes, but it is very unlikely for the repair shop to steal your battery, since it is not worth the effort. Most likely the board is broken somewhere and draining power....
Chosen Solution I have a Samsung UN48J5200AFXZA 48" LED Screen with a crack. I want to replace it myself, but I can’t find a place to buy a replacement screen anywhere. Please help! Replacement screens should not cost this much and should be available, as this is number repair factor for LCD TV’s.
Chosen Solution Hey ifixit! My families Kenmore Dryer, Model # 417.83042300, has been acting up for the past few weeks or so. The dryer gets very loud and sounds like it’s about to overheat and explode. We’ve unplugged it for a week and the dryer still continues to make a loud ruckus. I suspect it might be the motor but I am not sure. Can anyone with experience give this video a listen and provide me with a solution?...
Chosen Solution I selected the wash cycle and my washer just started to fill and then it shut off and there is power going to the washer but it will not turn on and I do not know what the problem is with it? ken. possible the lid switch could be faulty, faulty timer,etc, also check all wires and connectors at timer switch/main control and motor. If you are not comfortable disassembling machine and testing components have a good appliance technician have a look, diagnose and estimate repair....
Chosen Solution My iPod recently started only playing audio out of the right channel of my headphones, for no apparent reason. Previously it had been known to not play audio at all, though I think that may have been due to cold when trying to use it, as the problem subsided. I purchased a new jack and hold button part here in the UK, as well as new screen (since that had lighting issues) and front panel and radial button, and have performed the replacement following the instructions on this site without any issues....
Chosen Solution Here is the item number on ebay: 172502254490 Just wondering if this is worth doing? It looks like a simple install, as it’s taped onto the backlight connector,so when you dim the screen, the logo dims. Just wondering if any of you guys who know the iphones down to board level would know of any problems this may cause, only obvious thing at the moment, is battery life would be worse....
Chosen Solution I’ve recently had to replace the trackpad flex cable on my Macbook Pro 13, Early 2015 (Macbook 12.1), because both the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. Replacing the cable fixed the keyboard and trackpad, however I am observing unusually loud fans even when CPU is nearly idle. The MacsFanControl reveals that the Palm Rest sensor is at about 47 degrees Celsius when the fans are loud (5000rpm and more)....
Chosen Solution I was curious if it is possible to swap a Macbook Pro 2011 logic board with one from the 2012 model. Looking at the pictures below it looks possible…. Macbook Pro 2011 logic board: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/QWKKP… Macbook Pro 2012 logic board: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/11bHZ… Has anyone attempted it? It’s a model A1286 which goes back to the late 2008 15" Unibody. The only thing that concerns me is the Thunderbolt port. UPDATE 2/7/16 FYI check these logic boards for this recall if you are having any issues: https://www....
Chosen Solution Hello People! I’ve got a wicked problem with my MBP early 2011 El Capitan (high-res display 1680x1050 pre Retina). As stated it crashes half way through the boot sequence. I tried resetting NVRAM and booting in Safe-Mode. Both with the same negative result. It started a few days ago when I had two glitches where the external display would show the left half of the screen on the right side and the other way around....
Chosen Solution A few questions about Apple/MacBook Pro schematics: Many of the resistors are marked TF. Are those thick film or thin film resistors? Does it matter?Likewise, there are some resistors marked MF or MF-LF. I am assuming MF = Metal Film. Correct me if I am wrong. What does the MF-LF stand for? Looking on Mouser, etc. I do not see any resistors of that type.There are several capacitors marked with package size 402-2....
Chosen Solution I was browsing one day and my laptop froze; cursor, keyboard and everything. I used the power button to turn it off since it was the only thing I could do and was greeted by a flashing folder icon once I powered it on. I used internet recovery to reinstall the OS and can now boot it up and perform normal tasks, but it will randomly freeze again and I have to shut it off, which I get the flashing folder icon upon reboot....
Chosen Solution There appears to be some sort of heater tube under the metal ice tray. My ice maker makes the ice but is frozen to the metal ice form and the rotating arm that pushes the ice out gets jammed against the ice frozen to the metal ice form. A slight bit of heat against the underside of the metal ice form melts the ice slightly loosening the ice from the metal form and allows the rotating arm to push the ice from the form....
Chosen Solution Hi, I was wondering what happens if I install SODIMM DD3 1333Mhz memory instead of 1066 Mhz on my Mac Mini 4.1 (A1347). Thanks in advance. It may run and it may not. The bus speed is 1066 MHz so that’s your bottleneck. Over the years I’ve found that boards are rated at a certain minimum but may actually run faster. Two identical machines and one may run 10-20% faster Won’t work link: http://www....
Chosen Solution In my new Samsung Galaxy s7 edge I put by mistake the pin for the hole of the storage of the SIM card instead of there to the hole of the microphone who is near .

Chosen Solution I got scammed on exchange platform,I exchanged my op6+70$ for Iphone 7plus 128gb. I didn’t notice the tint at that time(night time and I’m in a hurry) ,such a noob mistake.

Chosen Solution I swapped a 2020 Macbook Pro 13” screen that had a dent with my older 2018 Macbook Pro 13” screen that was in good condition. Neither screen works on the opposite computer. Only an external display works. Before I go through the trouble of swapping them back are they not compatible with each other? Yep! Square peg round hole problem! The displays are not swappable! The newer display offers TrueTone to alter both the camera and displays color which uses a different signaling....
Chosen Solution Does anyone know if I can use the stand from iMac 27" 2009/2010/2011 for Apple 27" thunderbolt display? They look same from images I can find online, though its part number is different. Thanks, Sadly, they are slightly different! Between the balance spring in the hinge and the alignment of the tang they are setup differently as the systems weights are different!

Chosen Solution Every time I change the batteries, I have to reset the date, time, etc. Did not used to have to do this. Yes you can see it Here Simply replacing it will solve your problem.
Chosen Solution I’ve downloaded a few iPhone battery apps to test an aftermarket battery. The apps appear to show none other than what I already know; the current percentage of battery power left, the voltage, run-time, etc. But none show information that’s similar to what the built in iPhone health feature shows, such as the health of the battery and it’s current capacity. I’m guessing these apps can’t read additional data from an aftermarket battery, because two apps show a capacity of 100% which I know is false and say the health is perfect....
