Chosen Solution Hello, my old MacBook Pro just died due to a logic board issue. It was already repaired once so I’ve moved on to a newer model. However, I am interested in removing the optical drive and placing it in an external enclosure, so that I can use it as an external disc drive. I’ve already done this with the hard drive from the old MacBook. My question is, will the OEM optical drive fit the enclosure linked below?...

Chosen Solution I’ve just replaced the front panel and digitiser on an iPad 2 Wifi. I’ve been using it for a few hours and battery life has depleted at its usual rate. When plugging it into the mains or laptop it doesn’t show as charging or hold any charge. I’ve tried turning off and resetting but have been unsuccessful. Has anyone else had a similar problem or is able to give me any advice?...

For nut is was connected to the screw marked yellow in Step 13 (iPhone 4 Display Assembly Replacement). I’ve seen two posts regarding this but no solid leads on where i can purchase it.

Chosen Solution Hello, I have an iPhone 4S that got briefly dropped in a sink (so got wet). It worked right after, but had some issues with the speakers, so we turned it off and put it in rice for a couple days. However, now it doesn’t start up at all, it shows the apple logo though (so the screen IS working), but keeps restarting itself when plugged in. I’ve tried restoring it from the computer, but when it tries to restart, it gives an error....

Chosen Solution Hi as in photo below if the line BUTTON_TO_AP_HOLD_KEY_L from power ic to GPU was cut by removing resistor etc what are the effects and what are the function of BUTTON_TO_AP_HOLD_KEY_L Update (06/08/2018) That resistor is a “pull-up” resistor. Designers use pull-up (or pull-down) resistors so that the state of the signal, in this case BUTTON_TO_AP_HOLD_KEY_L, is in a known state; in this case @ 1.8V (or “high” or “1”) unless the line is brought down to 0V....

Chosen Solution I was playing around with the BIOS settings and somehow I fat fingered the password not once, but twice.. and now I’m locked out of the computer entirely. I was trying to figure out what the difference was between the “User” password, and the “Administrator” password - and the difference is that “User” won’t allow the system to boot at all without that password. I’ve tried pulling the main power from the tiny little motherboard, and this appears to make no difference with these newer laptops which don’t have specific bios batteries to remove....

Chosen Solution My 2006 MacBook Pro’s logic board is dead, so I removed the hard drive and attempted to transfer the data to my new MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.8) using a EZ-Connect USB to SATA & IDE Adapter. I can’t figure out how to get the drive to show up. Is the hard drive dead? There’s lots of possible reasons: - You might need an external case using two USB ports (one USB port may not provide enough power)....

Chosen Solution I want to know how many charge cycles does an iPhone 5s battery produce and how long it should last with standard use. You can check the battery information using an application called iBackupBot on your computer. Apple is estimating one battery will last for 400 charges — probably about two years’ worth of use. This is the same for any battery from iPhone 4 to 5s. As the capacities are very similar....

Chosen Solution I have a Motorola Nexus 6. I dropped it the other day and shattered the screen, also I think cracking the LCD, because now the screen is almost all black and looks like it has ink spilled on it.

Chosen Solution I need to change the keyboard. Is there any way to do it myself? I have not found the exact keyboard in any online store so far.

Chosen Solution Hi, maybe you can help me. I bought a used mac mini 2010 (A1347), the system fan was soldered directly to the mainboard by the former owner. But due to that it always runs at full speed and the software recognizes 0 rpm, I assume that the wires are soldered in a wrong order. According to the numbering in the picture, which wire has to be in which order on the mainboard (beginning with the side where the RAM is located) Thank you very much & greetings from Germany Mathias...
