Chosen Solution I opened up my iPad Pro to replace my smashed screen/LCD and accidentally scraped the antenna beside the camera (see pic). Does anyone know what this antenna is? I’m thinking it’s the wifi/Bluetooth antenna, but when I check online shops, they don’t seem to match up with that particular antenna/cord. When I check the iPad Pro 9.7" Teardown , it doesn’t say anything about the antenna beside the camera (see pic below)....

Chosen Solution I have a Iphone 4s that I put a new battery in. I plugged it in to a charger after that, the apple logo came up then went away. I then plugged it into the computer (windows xp, without itunes), it connected fine and the computer said it was in dfu mode. So then I plugged it into a newercomputer with itunes, it connected for a second then disconnected....

Chosen Solution Hello! So about a month ago I had my iPhone battery replaced by a friend of mine. There a few hiccups during it, with the main portion being that the battery connector kept coming loose so my phone would lose battery in like 15 minutes. Those issues were since resolved. My iPhone battery was working flawlessly, holding charge just like the time I first got my phone. However sometimes, the battery connector would come loose again, so I would have to open up the iPhone, unscrew the metal plate and push the battery connector back in....

Chosen Solution Hi, As I have iPhone 6 , and I am not thinking of upgrading to iPhone 6s. Can I able to upgrade only iPhone 6 rear camera module to new iPhone 6s rear camera module ? Both camera modules looks same with same connectors. Thank you, Charan Charan.uppala@gmail.com There not compatable…may look the same,may even be the same connector but even if so the software won’t recognize the higher pixelation and frame rate ect....

Chosen Solution Hello Guys, I came across a series of problems with an Iphone I recently purchased. Well, I repair Iphones, but only the simple stuff. So i bought this Iphone 7 that had a shattered screen and that was lagging and had an issue with the home button. Homebutton is clicking multiple times when you click it. Except that, it works fine. I updated to Ios11 and boom…boot loop. I dug around and replaced some ribbon cables, displays, did some recoveries and found out that it would only boot up when I leave the proximity flex unplugged....

Chosen Solution The plastic of the headphone socket has broken and come apart - otherwise, the device is working fine. Any idea if this can be swapped and if so, where I can source a new socket? Hi @docpaul, Looking at the image of Item #7 on p.9 of the maintenance and service guide for the laptop, the headphone /microphone combo jack is hard mounted on the systemboard. The hard part may be in finding a compatible replacement....

Chosen Solution I just got a Steam Controller and I’m wondering if and how to replace the micro USB port with a USB c port. Yes you can. Make sure the JSD version of your breakout board is the same with what you order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVEYy7VK… https://www.tindie.com/products/casualco…

Chosen Solution I have a m1 iPad Air and I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the the storage on the iPad If you need to ask, you can’t do it. It may be doable, but definitely out of your current abilities. @tomchai’s answer is, as is his wont, correct, short and to the point. To elaborate on it a bit, most of Apple’s portable devices contain memory devices (storage) that are soldered onto the motherboard, unlike things like laptops that sometimes have slots the memory device fits into....

Chosen Solution Can i use iphone xr display in iphone xs No you cannot. The XS uses a more efficient OLED panel whereas the XR uses the older LCD panel. Although you can buy the cheaper LCD panel for a XS, I highly advise against it as the phone was not designed to use the more power hungry LCD which will not only impact battery life, but it will also damage the display connectors after a while....

Chosen Solution My original assembly displays lcd broke as a result of a fall. Half of the screen is white. I bought the same model model computer for parts off of eBay and swapped out the assembly display. The issue is that if the computer shuts off it will only restart with the original assembly display connected. After it fully starts up I can switch to the new assembly display but not until then (or know this is not a good thing to do)....

Chosen Solution About a week ago white horizontal lines appeared on my tv, then a few days ago the picture started going black, with the audio and backlights still working fine. Each time I turn it on, the picture works, only for a few minutes before going black again. If I leave the tv plugged in, the time between the picture coming on, then going black is shortened to just a few seconds....

Chosen Solution My machine will spin clockwise slowly while filling up with water. Once filled, I hear a click or twon the time drops to 4 minutes and the water drains. After draining the machine flashes 0L. I tried with a different cycle, a lighter load as well as no load and the machine does the same thing. I can set the machine to rinse and spin mode and it will function correctly....

Chosen Solution Recently, I replaced the upper case following ifixit’s guide and using a case bought from ifixit’s part store. The case was a little bent near the magsafe port, but i was able to bend it back into shape easily enough. Everything seemed to go fine. The keyboard backlight lit up consistently for a number of days. (I typically leave it off unless I’m in a dark environment, so I don’t have an exact amount of time) Now nothing....

Chosen Solution @oldturkey03 Yes. Its model UN48JS8500F. Yes the same make and model. I get the same 6 blinks once I plug in the power cable. I notice that when it finishes blinking I hear one clicking sound. When I press the power button and give it a few seconds and move the power button/menu toggle it makes the same clicking sounds. I am going to take the back panel apart to see....

Chosen Solution After updating my OS to 12, I have noticed a couple of pink straight lines on my display. I have tried to restart and search for a solution but nothing worked. Now, Oneplus is saying they will repair only phones which are purchased 2 years back. Hi Usually when you see lines on a display that tends to mean that the display is internally damaged or physically cracked If it’s only happened after a software update it could be worth fully wiping the phone and seeing if that resolves the issue Hopefully this helps Any questions please ask Thanks:-)

Chosen Solution So I left my controller on last night when i went to bed and when i woke up it wouldn’t turn on and when i felt the back of the controller it was hot, I don’t know why but if i could get some answers quick that would be great. DEAD. try new batteries.

Chosen Solution I need change the external flash femea connector how is part number or site that have this ? @framosnt you need to change it from what to what? I assume you are needing a Hot Shoe adapter for your camera. Take a look at this type of adapter. Nope, iFixit does not sell items like this.

Chosen Solution I need to clean my keyboard, but I’m not sure what are some safe cleaning options. The first thing I would recommend is to use a can of air. It is probably the safest way to clean a keyboard, but is mainly used for crumbs or dust. If it’s sticky, you can use a LCD screen cleaner, and spray the key and let it soak for a few minutes....

Chosen Solution What could be wrong with my ps2 just got it back from my sister but it has no power at all to it when I switch the power on no sound the light dont come on fan doesnt even move Hi Mariah, Looks like it’s power supply related. You should measure to be sure (also check the fuse!). Otherwise you could swap the power supply for another one and test if it works....
