Chosen Solution Just a heads up, this is a bit of a long read, but I think it is an obscure problem amongst MacBooks. Good evening fellow Mac users, Let me introduce my computer and my self. I’m Evan, and have an a1342 Mid 2010 MacBook, has the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 250GB Samsung SSD. Currently runs macOS 10.12.2. I bought it in 2014 from a high school that had Macs for 1 to 1, and would sell them after three years of use....

Chosen Solution A couple of days ago I noticed my computer getting really warm to the touch. Then yesterday I started hearing a faint clicking sound from the area of the computer where the fan is. I tried using fan speed controller software to check is the fan is running, but it reported 0 RPM even though the target was 6500. I need help with this ASAP, as I need my computer for school....

Chosen Solution Recently I installed TG Pro on my MacBook pro as I wanted to check the thermals of my computer. I noticed that sometimes the computer can go up to high temperatures(85-90) and that the bottom of the laptop would get hot. Would it be safe for me to manually increase my fan’s speed to keep things cool internally and keep the outside of the computer cool? I don’t want to end up damaging the fan....

Chosen Solution My DJI Mavic Pro gives Mech Err shortly after turning it on. I think this is becuade the left hand Joystick is damaged, it clicks downwards if slight pressure is applied. My question is can I fix this myself. So far I have removed 2 small screws located behind the phone holder but failed to open the case. Here’s how to open it: DJI Mavic Pro Upper Shell Replacement

Chosen Solution where in the bold9700 is the microphone situated, i have the tools to open the phone but not sure where and how to replace the part. Brian, it’s on the bottom right of your logic board. When you disassemble your phone, it should be under a black rubber stopper looking thing. I attached the images to clarify. Here is the teardown to give you an idea how to get to it....

Chosen Solution I’ve noticed this trend with liquid damaged machine, and have it again with a machine in front of me. I’d like to know the root issue and how to properly fix it if possible. After liquid contact, a logic board displays the following behavior: Press power button.Fan spins up and then down after a few seconds.Fan does the same again.Fan spins up, machine boots as usual and fan acts normally....

Chosen Solution So I got a phone with a report from one of my techs. The report said after a battery change the phone was stuck at one percent, thinking it was a defective battery she changed it again and now the device will not power on. Screen tests fine, batteries tests fine, charging port tests fine. I trust the tech to be honest and I did find an answer for the “Stuck at 1%” issue....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone that is stuck in recovery mode. When I restore the phone on iTunes, it shows the Apple logo, shows a blank screen (the display is on but doesn’t show anything), and then it goes back to the recovery screen and iTunes gives me Error 4013. What do? It is most likely a logic board failure. 99% of the time, an issue where you cant restore after trying 5+ times, it is a logic board failure such a short in the board, etc....

Chosen Solution Hello everyone. I have an ipod video 5.5 30 GB with no sound neither on the line out (dock connector) nor in the headphone jack. Now, I know the problem lies in an IC in the logic board and can be fixed by performing a reflow. My question is: which IC I need to heat up? Thanks a lot for any answers. @newtonian first you should tell us if it syncs properly and if you can access your files with music while the iPod is in diskmode....

Chosen Solution Is it possible to fit a 1Tb SSD drive, in place of of original 128 GB please? nope. having been inside a few of these now, The surface doesnt use a HDD, the surface uses flash image. the same thing you would find in a USB Flash drive. It is not interchangable with SSD, as it is an IC soldered onto the board. sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Chosen Solution MBA 2013 13 inch The connector in question is the one marked 358MA. I’ve tried searching for a replacement connector but as you can tell I have been unsuccessful. I’m currently using my Mac with just the power cable. Update (02/11/2016) The connector of the battery was cut off and the wires stripped back to align with the solder pads on the logic board. The battery cable was then soldered to the pads of the logic board....

Chosen Solution Is it possible to upgrade the memory in my iPod Touch 4th generation device from 8gb to 64gb? If so, how? Nope you can´t. The memory is a chip on the logic board. I you can solder a new memory chip in place it would be possible, but to do this you need the tools the chip and the skills to do so. At least it would be cheaper to buy a 64GB iPod....

Chosen Solution I use my Macbook to create videos as that is part of my current job, but I use Intel Iris 1536 MB. Is this good enough Graphics to make nice videos? It depends on your skill level and what you’re doing with your machine. The GPU really doesn’t play as big of a role as the CPU does. After you’ve edited your video, you have to export it, which essentially “bakes” everything together into one smooth video that can be played across lots of devices....

Chosen Solution Hi, I would like to know if the battery that you sell for iphone 4s is a new battery How many cycles do I expect to see in this battery after installed thanks, Alejandro Read the description. “Brand new”. iPhone 4S Battery

Chosen Solution I need to put the inside back together and need some help? Hi, Here is a link to the HP Pavilion Media Center m7570n service manual. I realize that it is not for your model, but as HP now considers your model a retired product, there is no information for it. Hopefully the information for this model will be close enough to what you have to be of some help to you....

Chosen Solution I think my son possibly drooled on my phone earpiece and the sound is hardly audible. Is there a way this can be fixed without replacing the phone? It could be that only the mesh is clogged, in which case replacing the ear speaker is unnecessary. Try this to troubleshoot and possibly fix this issue: use a very sharp needle to puncture the ear speaker mesh from outside ~3 times in the middle....

Chosen Solution Hi, I have a Dell Precision T1500 and I was wondering if an AMD Radeon HD 6770 GPU and an Intel Core i7 860 CPU is a good combo for gaming. I mostly play Fortnite and sometimes Warface. Thanks in Advance! No, the 6770 is a very low end card. Those games might be playable, but the framerate they will run at (20-30 fps on low at 1080p) will be very distracting....

Chosen Solution I have same problem. My Macbook A1342 Late 2009 turned on but the screen is black. I can see everything on desktop with a flash light. My story are following: The old screen is freezing at some point when starting up. I have to fold/move the screen a bit to get it fully started up. So i thought it is LVDS cable I tried to replace LVDS but nothing changed....
