Chosen Solution We are interested in removing the wifi capability from our daughter’s ipod touch. Is it possible to remove or disconnect the wifi chip ? If so, could it be reconnected at a later date? Hey Cheryl, You can remove the Wi-Fi board, but taking apart the iPod touch is not very much fun! It requires a lot of heat-gunning and small part prying. Luckily, there is a really easy fix!...
Chosen Solution They’re the same generation nano, I’d just like a 4GB drive from another 2nd gen nano in my 2GB nano. Is it possible, &, if so, how can I do it? The flash on the Nano is soldered to the board. Unless you can find a dead board with a good flash chip and know how to solder it (and restore the firmware), you will need to replace the entire board....
Chosen Solution I’m considering purchasing a mac book pro 2019 13inch the cheaper of the 256gb model ( i’m not made of money) i was wondering since i haven’t payed to much attention to apple products in recent years. Is it possible to upgrade the inbuilt storage with an NVME drive as you have been able to with previous generations? Sorry what you buy is what you get until you sell your system or kill it....
Chosen Solution Im wondering if its possible to get more memory on my laptop. Can I just buy something that provides memory and plug it in? Or is it a complicated process involving disassembling my laptop and multiple expensive parts? The laptop is fully functional. Has space. Is not old. The problem is, is that I’ve bogged it down with Adobe programs (for college). Without the programs it worked fine. WITH the programs is soooo slow....
Chosen Solution Dropped my iphone X in the shower, screen cracked starting from the topleft corner. Took of the display and saw no water inside. My battery was empty and it showed the apple cable logo when I tried powering it on. But after charging it for a while my screen is now black and it flashes random “lines”. Is my display broken or something else? It’s weird it can show the lightning cable fine but when charging it shows a black screen....
Chosen Solution Is the WiFi/Bluetooth integrated onto the motherboard, or is it a separate card. And if it is a separate card, where is it? Both chips are integrate in once try to clean and rehoot.
Chosen Solution Keeps circling same area over and over and then stops. Battery is still charged. How do I correct this problem? Thanks. Diane, this can be caused by dirty or defective bumper sensor as well as dirty cliff sensors. Clean the Roomba with compressed air and “slap” the front bumper. Apparently, the front bumper mechanism can get stuck with any contact with a wall etc. which will make the Roomba back up....
Chosen Solution I have old 80 gb HD. I want to repalce with larger capacity ATA HD. I would like as much as possible 320gb Western. but I read some disclaimer that some older PowerBooks will only recognize up to 128 gb with out other commercial software? Can I partition the new HD to get around this limit? What is the other commercial software? You can partition the drive into multiple partitions < 128GB, and it should work fine....
Chosen Solution During a iPhone 7 battery replacement, the adhesive snapped so I stupidly tried to pry the battery out. The battery caught on fire and create a small flame which was quickly put out. I have since then found a 5 gallon bucket and buried the device in sand and closed the lid. I will try and drop it off at a hazardous waste location tomorrow. Until then, am I storing it correctly?...

Chosen Solution Can I send my MacBook to u and see if u can fix it? iFixit just sells spares and tools, it’s not into repairs and this is not iFixit customer service, but an open forum based on volunteers’ contributions.

Chosen Solution Greetings, everyone. Michael here from Panama CIty Beach, in sunny Florida. What I lack is experience with the powering which I can hopefully glean from the experts/experienced folks in this very cool group. I’ve signed-up for the newsletters and will make it a point to contribute helping others paying forward as best as I can. Thank you in advance for any assist you may offer. Current Issue: 2006 vintage A1260 MBP with reliable service history suddenly will not start....
Chosen Solution How do you clean the melted exterior of the Alienware M14x-R2? Searching google did not yield any results as to what this melted exterior is or how to clean it. This is not your fault - Dell has known issues getting this right on the 2nd gen laptops, all the way up until Ivy Bridge. Even some of the Haswell/Broadwell machines had problems. It’s one of the reasons I began to like the aluminum HP Commercial products once they removed the WLAN WL, and why I put up with some of Dell’s poor QC on the machines up until Haswell, outside of pre Haswell HP....
Chosen Solution I have a toshiba CT 90448.. and since a week there is a wired message came on the screen tells me that there is a USB device connected with the TV and I should remove it and reopen the TV… But there is no any devise is connected.. And I can’t watch because of it. Morad Almomani I wonder if you recently tried to view anything from a USB on your TV....
Chosen Solution I have read other responses for the above problem with Samsung TV but have found no bad capactors or anything that looks burnt or damaged. Vacuumed the interior the first time this happened and it came back on again for about 4 weeks and the problem returned again . Removed the back again everything looked okay but this time I tried heating the main circuit board BN94-02696G with a hair dryer until warm and tried turning on TV and it came on again....
Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve got an Epson Workforce 645, and bought it specifically for its duplex scanning functionality. (Scanning my old books that are now out of print and literally falling apart at the spine…) However, it turns out that it has a minimum possible size for scanning documents through the ADF. The page size I’m hoping for is something slightly smaller than A5. I’m hoping that there might be a hardware fix for this, and was wondering if anybody had any ideas....
Chosen Solution I ordered a new battery from iFixit (delivery from US to Europe took less than two weeks, props for that) and followed the intructions of the guide carefully. The moment of truth… I pressed the power button but nothing happened until I plugged the phone in the wall charger. Fortunately, it booted by first showing a green screen and then the Apple logo. After a minute or so, it showed the ‘Activation required’ message with a battery percentage of 100%....
Chosen Solution So searched for capacitor short and almost all the capacitors around the GPU show short. At “TP1100” I am getting 13 Ohms and at “TP1120” I get around 30 Ohms. Its really strange and I’m not sure what to look at next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Not 100% sure on boot loop since there is no display but when I hook it to power supply and hit the power button current draw is typical for booting but never steadies and phone doesn’t beep or vibrate....
Chosen Solution I’m thinking of purchasing a mac mini, but need it to be able to support three monitors (extended desktops, not mirrored). The monitors would be a combination of DVI and HDMI (most likely 2 DVI and 1 HDMI). Is this possible, and if so, what would I need? Looks like you can. I found this answer at the link listed below: I have exactly the setup you describe, with a 2010 Mac Mini, with three Samsung 245BWs even....
Chosen Solution Does anyone know if the bios is saved on the internal hard drive. I wanted to replace it but was wondering if I needed to back existing hard drive up. This laptop has the BIOS stored on the EEPROM. Hard disk based BIOSes haven’t been a thing since some of the graphical BIOS Compaq laptops of the 80/90s and some early machines where there wasn’t any room on the flash ROM for it, or the space was limited....
