Chosen Solution Hi, I just got a Blu Advance 5.0. Switching over from iPhone. So, I’m just curious how I would turn on/off cellular for certain apps? Like, on iPhone, I would just go into settings-cellular-then just tap the button next to Safari, Photos, Facebook, whatever app, to let it use/not use my cell data. How do I do this on an android? Specifically Google Chrome. I don’t like to use my data unless it’s important, and I’d just rather have it turned off instead of leaving it on....

Chosen Solution I ordered a used (seller refurbished) MacBook Pro on eBay, and when it arrived I realized that they must have repaired the keyboard, because the /w/ and /e/ keys were switched. I can’t find any guides on iFixit to replace individual keys on the original butterfly keyboard, and maybe I’ll have to contribute one myself, but I’d love to know if there’s a great guide out there, or maybe someone who’s done it before that can give me some pointers....

Chosen Solution I can’t release the red lever that opens the bottom area to empty the trash. I’ve had my Dyson for nearly 2 years and this problem is new. Please can you help. I have the same problem on the Dyson V10 Animal. I was afraid to apply too much pressure on the red tab, which needs to be pushed in the forward direction to open the canister.

Chosen Solution I have a Honey 9 phone - dropped in toilet! has started now but can’t unscrew back to check further damage. My camera and torch doesn’t seem to work. I can still see drops of water in camera so how do I unscrew the back to let it dry out completly? Hi @roni_james , As you know liquids and electronics and electricity are not a good mix.

Chosen Solution I have a iMac 17" 1.83 Core Duo with the well known vertical line problem. From what I understand they are caused by defective multiplexers in the screen itself. Now I have a second iMac of the same series with a defective mainboard but good screen! I could swap-out the screen from the other iMac with the vertical lines. But! I heard that the vertical lines where caused by a defect in the mainboard, so that they will come back very quickly....

Chosen Solution I want to replace my iPad 4 digitizer, can i replace with iPad 3 (New iPad) digitizer? Are those both same? Thanks I can confirm that iPad 3 and iPad 4 digitisers are interchangeable. We are a large repair shop and we fit iPad digitizers on a daily basis. The iPad 3 Digitizer will indeed fit the iPad 4, we only ever use the iPad 3 digitizers for both iPad versions, the cables do fit, we have changed in excess of 300 iPad 3 digitizers into the iPad 4, you just have to position them carefully and correctly, If you don’t know what you are doing then i suggest you hire someone that does, and do not state they don’t fit, as they clearly do, search Google you will be amazed how many people fit iPad 3 into iPad 4 as the iPad 3 are slightly cheaper, you will need to transfer the home flex over as these are different, the front camera are also the same on both versions....

Chosen Solution Hello, I have a trouble with a silver iPhone 6, that it has no image, even I changed the lcd, but the problem always exists, and by analyzing circuits to retrieve short circuits I noticed that the cpu is getting so hot, when plugging battery to the logicboard , so I removed the EMI shield and I noticed that coil inductors are little bit damaged, so I don’t know what should I do ....

Chosen Solution Last day I’ve tried to charge my iPhone after it went completely black after consuming all its power. Surprisingly, it would not show any sign of charging and after several hours plugged to the wall, it would not power on, at all. I tried to manually charge the battery and this sort of fixed the problem, making the phone power on, but when I tried to charge it via usb cable, it started to discharge rather than charging....
