Chosen Solution I’m planning to replace my front camera flex cable, because the earpiece speaker contacts are broken. I heard that True Tone would stop working after replacing the front camera. (Source: Reddit) Are there tools that can reprogram the front camera’s serial number and how? No, there is no way you can alter the cameras S/N to match what your phone is expecting without the needed tools. Apple offers the needed tool via their support network which will allow you to program the phones camera TrueTone setting....

Chosen Solution A couple months ago, my fridges coil heater and the heater thermostat went resulting in the coils freezing solid. I have replaced the coil heater, the heater thermostat and temperature sensor, and still the coils frost. I have had the back panel off to ensure that the heater was kicking on and defrosting the coils. I do see the coils being defrosted. Freezer temps reach 12 degrees. So the heater is kicking on and defrosting the coils....

Chosen Solution It made a loud-ish POP noise and weird, heavy smoke came out from underneath, like a puddle. It’s probably unfixable, but I’ll give it free to anyone willing to try! It cost me nearly £300 and I could have wept when it happened, after I realised about needing a transformer, etc… ailsa.laing the part that usually fails by receiving an over-voltage is the power supply. The pop and smoke is most certainly coming from the caps on the board....

Chosen Solution Hi everyone, I’ve visited this site many times in the past but only registered an account today because I’m hoping to get some advice on my iMac issue.

Chosen Solution Lately I am thinking to upgrade my iMac’s processor with a core 2 duo processor. The thing I am asking myself is following: my iMac supports max 2 gb RAM, what should I change to be able to install 4 gb RAM on it with the new processor? Ok I finally found a way to install more than 2GB RAM to my iMac the solution is the modify the firmware of the logicboard and make him believe that it is iMac 5,1 (late 2006 core 2 duo) instead of iMac 4,1 (early 2006 core duo) the is a download available here: iMac firmware upgrade but to do this one before should upgrade the CPU of the iMac with a core 2 duo CPU (the ones from iMac 5,1)....
