Chosen Solution I have several wireless keyboards and mice that were separated from their mini USB devices. Now I can’t use these keyboards and mice. Is there a way to get another connector? Or am I forced to trash these perfectly good keyboards? Update (11/13/2014) My Dell keyboard and mouse are not Bluetooth. They used a mini USB connector. Is it true that each wireless keyboard and mouse are programmed to an individual USB?...

Chosen Solution I need to replace my lightning port assembly on my 11 pro, however I’m only able to find a replacement for the non-pro 11 in the iFixit store. Are there any differences between the assemblies? For clarification, my phone is a non-MAX unit. Thanks in advance! Unfortunately the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro have different lightning connector ports and are not interchangeable. Had a quick look and doesn’t seem like the 11 Pro lightning port is available from iFixit, but you could potentially find one online from a reputable reseller of OEM parts?...

Chosen Solution My laptop has been messed up somehow and barely works the way it use to. I have finally came to the conclusion that I need to reset it, but I’m not sure how to. Does anyone know how to reset this type of laptop? Kiana McGee, it may work if you use the correct combination of keys. this would require your computer to have a recovery partition. For a Dell it should work by pressing and holding ctrl + F11 for recovery at startup....

Chosen Solution Yesterday I have replaced my iPhone 8 Plus’ battery with an iFixit kit. The repair went smoothly, but I have realised an annoying issue: Yesterday, I have used the device normally, and around 15% the device shut down. When I plugged to the charger, it showed 11%. Then I charged the device to 100% to start the calibration. Today, after I have plugged off the device around 9 o’clock, and around 8 pm, the device turned off again with 50% charge....
