Chosen Solution Hello I am looking for a patch of some sort my Black hole duffel has a hole on the bottom. Anything direct from Patagonia? Or should i use Gorrilla tape they sell on TV? Oren Tuvia, You could try gorrilla tape but may not last as long/look quite as nice as a good sewn on patch. Check out the link below, sounds similar to your bags mishap. Link shows they found like material and had it double stitched on(looks like a nice repair)....

Chosen Solution I replaced the thermal paste on my laptop, and it overheated quite intensely. It hardly booted up. I assumed I didn’t cover the cpu fully, but I did as you can see in the attached photo of my thermal pasting job. I didn’t have the back cover on when I tried to boot it up, but I can’t imagine that’s the problem. Can someone help me, I need this laptop functional for school tomorrow....

Chosen Solution hello, so the macbok does not have a backlight, it works fine via HDMI. i have checked the board and found a blown fuse, replaced it and its still the same, i have checked the LVDS cable and i can see that pin 1 and 2 on the retina screen connector are damaged.. can this cause the backlight not to work?? Clearly you’ve got a messed up T-CON board within the display assembly!...

Chosen Solution Hi guys. I decided to upgrade my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 to SSD. I bought a Kingston A400 480 GB SSD to swap with the old HDD. I have with a USB adaptor downloaded Mac OS Catalina with my already installed HDD. I can boot to the SSD’s Mac OS through the USB adaptor, but can’t boot to it with the internal SATA connector (I get the blinking folder error)....

Chosen Solution Hi, I cleverly spilled a drink over the machine and killed the screen, keyboard and right side I/0 port. It still looks beautiful from the outside though. My question is that, assuming it still works, can the SSD be removed and used in another computer? I have a few older macs laying around including a late 2009 iMac and 2010 MacBook Pro. Thanks. Use the 2010 as the 2009 may not be able to handle Sierra if that is the OS X you have installed....

Chosen Solution Water remains in tub. Machine will not turn on. Main circuit breaker in house good. Does machine have a trip switch? saboegmoore, it may not turn on due to still having water in it. It is possible that your filter is clogged and that you have a drain obstruction. If it won’t drain check this items according to the Service Manual from here Check Wire Harness connections. Check Drain pump....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, I just bought a new pair of Mackie CR3 speakers on amazon. I set it up, turned it on, and for some reason the volume is extremely low, but it works perfectly when I connect headphones. Its not connected to any interface but directly into my pc via aux cable. I also tried the red and white aux cables but still. I tried wiggling the l/r switch, Plugging headphone in and out quickly but still nothing....

Chosen Solution So yesterday my laptop crashed 3 times with the screen saying “:( your pc ran into an problem". My laptop has not got the best hard drive, it was very cheap on eBay. I was playing this lag test game yesterday, that is the reason my laptop acted up yesterday. After the 3rd time it crashed it went on a bootloop. My laptop was an easy fix after the bootloop I just reseated my hard drive....

Chosen Solution So to start out, this issue came out of the blue. The phone was not dropped or came into contact with water to cause the issue. However over the year and a half I’ve had the phone, it was dropped twice. This may be a crucial point to my suspicions on a loose solder joint or electrical short somewhere that I will explain later. Now this may not be as simple as you think at first....

Chosen Solution it would be great to see the motherboard differences between the true dual-SIM version available in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau and the international eSIM+nano-SIM version. Comparing with iPhone XS Max, I believe the idea is the same. China model has exactly the same board layout, they only change the SIM socket and tray part. China model has actual dual sided SIM socket eSIM chip vacant or disabled via software, while global model has the same size SIM socket, but with one side blocked, eSIM chip is installed and enabled....

Chosen Solution Hello! I’m unsure of the error in my iPhone 3GS. I have a problem with the vibrator, it is very sensitive! When I gently touch the mute button the phone will vibrate. Squeezing the phone lightly also starts a vibration. When I have the phone disassembled, I notice that the vibration occurs immediately of the slightest touch back of the “Jack Flex Cable” (where the mute button switch is located)....

Chosen Solution Hi, A few days ago my iPhone 8 was working fine, the suddenly got stuck on the apple logo. I tried doing the volume up, volume down, and on button trick and it would just go straight back to the apple logo. I went straight to my computer to restore on iTunes, and my phone immediately prompted me with the screen support.apple.com/iphone/restore once I plugged it in. I’ve tried restoring and updating the device on 3 different computers and using 2 different USB cords (from Apple)....

Chosen Solution I got a broken iPhone 5c from a friend recently and when I had plugged it in and turned it on, it had the Apple Support message and told me to connect to iTunes. However, when I did plug it into my MacBook Air, it recognized the cord but not the phone. I tried plugging my phone into my laptop and it worked just fine. I tried going to System Information on my laptop and when I was looking at devices plugged into my Mac, it showed the charger but it did not show the phone, even though it was plugged in....

Chosen Solution I was eating some instant noodles with soupthen I noticed a drop of soup entered a the right directional button. I was wondering if this will damage the controller or if it is safe to still use? (Sorry, just kinda of worried. These are new controllers.) No, this could damage something in the Joy-Cons but it being one drop should be fine, don’t put your Joy-Cons near liquid. Try to be more careful next time....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have an iPhone 7 in which I plan to replace the logic board. I was wondering whether it was necessary to replace the waterproof/display adhesive when putting the phone back together. Thanks It’s not strictly necessary, the screen fits nicely on the housing even without it, it will just be less splash resistant than it would be with adhesive. However, unless the adhesive is machine installed under controlled factory conditions on a perfect housing, the original out of the box water resistance will never be restored again....

Chosen Solution Hi, Since the rumours say that Handoff feature will require BT 4.0, I was curious if it is possible to update/change my bluetooth card in MacBook Pro 17" Unibody (Mid 2010, A1297, 2.66 GHz) to BT 4.0? At this time point the answer is No. Apple has linked Yosemite directly to the system ID string so these features are limited to certain models not the given Bluetooth hardware it could have been upgraded or added (this could change)....

Chosen Solution i have a similar problem. i have replaced my dc-in board and my battery still wont charge. it is at 0% and works fine while plugged in. i have tried resetting the pram to no avail. these are my battery stats: Battery Installed: Yes First low level warning: No Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 65475 Remaining Capacity (mAh): 0 Amperage (mA): 0 Voltage (mV): 8696 Cycle Count: 65535 Bad battery, if it says 0 for remaining capacity, this means all the cells are drained completely Over time, cells lose thier capacity to hold power, so you will need to change the battery at some point You can take this pack apart and rebuild it, but this is dangerous if you don’t take your time and one screw up could cause a short and a fire, so stay away from this if you aren’t patient or have no clue what you are doing Have a professional company do it if you want to rebuild the battery

Chosen Solution READ: I PURCHASED THIS LAPTOP FOR THE MOTHERBOARD. IT IS GOING INTO A BIOS LOCKED i7 UNIT DESPITE THE CPU DIFFERENCE (i5-8250U vs i7-8650U). I DO NOT INTENDED TO REPAIR IT. This is the machine the board is destined for if it passes: While I will not have 100% repair completion on this laptop with just a replacement motherboard as I need a screen, I have a source for the matched panel the donor uses (IVO privacy 120Hz 40-pin), this motherboard is a huge step in the green once it’s validated as good....

Chosen Solution My iPhone 8 Plus earpiece speaker is not working. I am shopping for a speaker, and I found that some sellers are selling the same earpiece speaker for the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus. I currently have extra parts from an iPhone 7 Plus (display assembly with the earpiece speaker and front camera), can anyone confirm that both iPhones are using the same earpiece speaker? Links to the sellers selling the earpiece speaker: eBayShopee The photo below is the display assembly with the earpiece speaker from my iPhone 7 Plus....

Chosen Solution I replaced the ribbon cable in my right joycon. In the process, I damaged the bottom ZIF connector where the ribbon cable attaches. I could still attach the cable, and the joycon did work. However it failed to detect that it was connected directly to the Switch. The controller would charge, but it showed up as detached. On closer inspection one of the pins in the ZIF connector was clearly bent....
