Chosen Solution iPhone keeps crashing after 180s. There is a kernel panic: watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from com.apple thermalmonitord in 180 secondsinservice Missing sensor(s): Prso com.apple.logd, total successful checkins since wake (330 seconds ago): What is wrong with this phone ? The iPhone XS will reboot every 180 seconds if the charge port assembly has become faulty. If you plan on replacing it yourself I would suggest purchasing a pulled one from an original phone as some of the aftermarket ones have faulty or no sensors and it will still reboot....

Chosen Solution I dropped it down the toilet, it worked then went off, I left it hours and pluuged it in andn nithing. put it in rice for an hour n now when plugged in it dos this and wont show up on iTunes. With water damage, you have to decontaminate the logic board before doing anything else, otherwise there will be latent issues down the road. Not every water-damaged phone is recoverable and depending on the kind of liquid (salty, dirty, filthy), sometimes the success rate is quite low....

Chosen Solution Basically, I thought the iPad that I was experimenting on was useless. now apparently I forgot to get the data off the device, while I was experimenting with the device I Damaged the connection from the battery to the motherboard. It’s probably likely that this is unrepairableI peeled up the connection between the charging port ribbon and the motherboard, I’m not entirely sure if I can get this fixed....

Chosen Solution I would like to know if the internal keyboard can be changed with MacBook Pro’s. I had liquid spill on MacBook unibody a1278, and keyboard stopped working. Now my brother has spare MacBook Pro 13 a1278 keyboard. I know that all top case will not fit, but what about internal one’s? Yes you can! The 13" MacBook (aluminum unibody) (Late 2008) keyboard can be swapped out for a newer on from a 13" MacBook Pro (mid 2009) The 2....

Chosen Solution My backlit keyboard is not working anymore. I am wondering if there is a way to try to fix it by disassembling it. Can anyone help? Trust GTX 280 desktop keyboard Just to quickly update in case someone would find it useful. I have disassembled the keyboard and simply reassembled it and it worked by itself: please read to the bottom before attempting to do it as it is good to know how fragile some parts are....

Chosen Solution Hey everyone. Keyboard has started failing on my macbook pro. Few of the keys are not working correctly at all. For example, volume down key is making the volume go up, and volume up key isn’t working at all. Backslash key adds an equal sign and CMD keys are active when pressing zero (know this from the keyboard viewer). Altogether pretty crazy. I know iFixit says i will need to get a new upper case’ but rather than get a new one can i get a second hand one and swap the keyboard from it?...

Chosen Solution My computer will not charge when I am on the laptop. It has to be turned off and then it will charge. The battery seems to be fine, it charges in reasonable time and goes to 100%. I am thinking it is the charging cord, cord is in perfect condition and the laptop is only 2 years old. Has it always been like this? If so, and if the charger is only small it may only be able deliver enough power to run the laptop, leaving little or none to go into the battery until you shut it down....

Chosen Solution Original question: “I connected my laptop to my tv via hdmi. Then I removed it before the computer was able to switch to tv. Now when I turn the computer on it looks as if it’s starting up normally (shows the Toshiba load screen) then it goes to a blue screen the says ‘your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We will restart it for you....

Chosen Solution I’ve been having a slight problem lately where the leather covering the foam on the ear cushion is starting to peel out. I used to be able to wedge it back into place with my fingernail, but I think I’ll probably have to find a more permanent answer soon. Can I just glue it back into place, or is that bad for the earphones? Should I replace the whole ear pad?...

Chosen Solution How do I turn off GPS? I think it might be the reason I have to press so hard and long for the camera to take a photo. There should be an option in the camera menu to disable GPS. However, that may not be the problem with your camera. Do you notice that it only takes a long time to take a photo in darker environments? Does it take a long time taking photos in any kind of lighting?...

Chosen Solution Hi I’ve done a very stupid mistake and i think that I’ve ruined my macbook. I have Macbook Pro A1706 with broken screen, ordered a new one and installed with no issues. Turned on the Macbook, works perfectly. Then I’ve noticed that i wrongly installed the screen. It was working but i had to redone it. So I’ve done something so stupid which is disconnecting the screen without removing the battery....

Chosen Solution Hi! does anybody know how much Apple charges for replacing the Top Case of a 2014 15.4" MacBook Pro?. Thanks!. Here’s why (cost) we might want to talk more about how to replace that key, also you probably have no need for a battery replacement for a couple of years: MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013-Mid 2014) Upper Case Assembly

Chosen Solution Dear beloved iFixIt, Statement of the Problem: My Macbook unfortunately is not turning on, Not charging battery - only green light. Feels like a bricked device on my table here. No chimes, no lights, nothing seems to be working. How it occurred: On a very busy day, as I was about to leave home to another town, even though I had just 5% left, I forgot to shutdown my MacBook and closed the lid to deep sleep....

Chosen Solution Quick question before I go to the Apple store- Recently updated my 2008 Macbook Pro to Yosemite. Ran into the somewhat common issues involving WiFi and Java 6 but resolved them relatively easily and it was smooth sailing for a bit. Today, I booted it up as normal, caught a brief glimpse of my desktop and then it immediately went into sleep mode. I hit the spacebar and that caused it to immediately power off....

Chosen Solution On my D500, the Metering Mode button isn’t working. The other 3 buttons (WB, QUAL, and Mode) are working. It has already been into the shop once (6 weeks and $150) to just be told there was nothing found and it’s working now! A couple of times, a sharp hit to the top left corner would have the button working again, but not this time. Since I’m in IT, I suspect it is just a cable that is loose....

Chosen Solution Hi, guys. I wasn’t really sure where this question belonged so forgive me if this is the wrong place. I need help with a micro usb port that broke off a circuit board (right terminology?). Is there any way to get this back on without soldering. https://imgur.com/a/H8rqw This has to be soldered on the board, otherwise the electrical connection will not be stable. This isn’t a difficult repair so look around your town/city to see if anyone does soldering or micro-soldering....

Chosen Solution I wanted to auto defrost bread and when I touched the start button the microwave would not turn in, has a high pitched buzzer sound and the letters TART are on the screen with the bread weight… A growling or high-pitched sound coming from your appliance when its cooking is a good indication the magnetron tube is failing. The magnetron in your microwave is responsible for creating the frequency that cooks your food....

Chosen Solution Recently replaced the battery in my iPhone 6 and a new problem popped up. The iPhone will not charge through a USB port (computer or stereo) but will charge with most (but not the low amp) usb wall chargers. It will also not communicate with the computer, the computer does not see the iPhone at all. The lightning cable is not the problem. Could the new battery be causing the communication issue?...

Chosen Solution Hi, I got a new battery and Iphone 6 plus screen from Ifixit. I did everything as explained and everything went well. Since its a new battery, on powering on it ask me to connect to a charger but on connecting to one, it doesnt charge. When I connect the charger, a large battery comes up on the screen with some red level indicating low battery but I don’t see the lighting sign next to the battery ....
