Chosen Solution I got my iPad Pro seen to 2 weeks ago due to a dead spot that went across the screen. I got it back yesterday and I only just noticed that there was a gap where the home button is located, as if that part of the screen wasn’t pushed in. Am I supposed to push that bit in myself or do I leave it alone and let it set itself in for a few days?...

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 7 with classic audio ic problem. Speaker greyed out, took ages to start. As usual I removed the big audio ic, did 4 jumpers, reballed the ic and put it back. The speaker worked fine after audio ic repair. But it only worked fine for about an hour, then suddenly the phone automatically restarted, after restart the speaker greyed out again! I thought I probably didn’t soldered it properly, so did the whole process one more time, again the speaker works fine for about half an hour to one hour, then the phone restarted by itself, and speaker problem came back again!...

It will tell you how to turn repeat track off. Update (01/07/2018) @joy100 it is odd that it does not enlarge. Try this on. All you have to do is to just hover over it an click on it....

Chosen Solution I live about 10 minutes from a local mall with an ifixit stand in the middle of it. How much do you think it would cost to get the screen replaced? And do you believe that I could pay in old iPhones that are good to use for parts that I personally don’t use anymore? Thanks in advance The mall kiosk using the name iFixit has a 99,9 % chance of not being affiliated with this iFixit....

Chosen Solution Hello everyone, I recently picked up a mid 2012 155 inch i7 MBP for a great deal. Once it arrived I found out the wifi was almost completely dead. I have really high RSSI and TX speeds of max 54 mbps when sitting right next to the router and when there’s any distance between me and the router it either cannot connect or has a TX speed of 1 to 5 mbps....

Chosen Solution Screen has yellow zoning. How to change internal memory from 16 to 32 Hi @peedee , Try starting the phone in safe mode. This should prove whether the problem is being caused by a 3rd party app or not. If it has gone then the trick is to find the offending app. If it is still there perhaps try a factory reset (after backing up the phone of course)....

Chosen Solution Hello. I have a black Samsung Galaxy S7 that I had a glass protector on. Before I put the glass protector on I dropped my phone and it cracked a little bit in the top right corner. I usually take my phone with me when I take baths to listen to music and it gets really steamy in the bathroom. Recently I broke the screen protector and I decided to take it off the phone (note that the screen protector was black on the margins so I didn’t know what was going on under it) so when I took the protector off, I seen that the glass is whiter in the top right corner (where I cracked the screen) and it goes down to the half on the screen, but it is stuck on the margins of the screen, it didn’t spread to the area where the display is, so it doesn’t alter the image....

Chosen Solution my powerbook g4 15"does not restart immediately after shut downs. it does however restart after waiting 8-10 hours. strangely, if i disconnect the power after logging out, (without shutting off the unit) it restarts immediately. must point out that battery doesnt hold much charge anymore and the mac must be connected to the ps all the time. i wouldn’t want to buy a new battery unless i am reasonably sure that it would solve the problem....

Chosen Solution I dropped my HP Spectre earlier today. When I booted it up, the bottom right corner is darker. I can still see the icons, and move my mouse through that area. I think it might be the backlight, but I’m not sure if it’s just disconnected or actually shattered. Does anyone have any suggestions in the way of whether I can fix it myself (I have amateur but decent hardware skills), or how much something like this would cost to get replaced, especially seeing as it is not necessarily affecting the performance of the device....

Chosen Solution I have an LFXS29766s/01 that is not getting cold enough. I have performed the above mentioned test of the PCB board by removing the Con201 connector and checking for voltage after pushing the test button. I am getting 70vac to begin with but it continues to rise during the 30 second window. It actually rises to 170vac and at the 30 second mark the voltage drops to nothing followed by the green led blinking 3 times over and over....

A customer brought in 2 iPad mini’s both wifi only versions with cracked glass. I replaced both digitizers with good quality aftermarket one’s. One iPad is working fine, without problems. However the other one randomly shuts down. I already opened it again and disconnected the battery for a couple of minutes and reconnected it....
