Chosen Solution Hello. I have an issue with my Right USB port. After replacing the battery on my 15” retina from mid 2012. I replaced both the I/O cable and board and no change. Flash card and HDMI ports work fine. USB works with some devices but not others. It does provide power to the devices, just doesn’t see them. Let’s get a picture of the ribbon connectors on the logic boards (both) I’m thinking one is damaged....

Chosen Solution Hi I bought a imac 27" Core i3 in dec 2010 with 2TB HDD. I now want to add a SSD to it. Can someone tell me “exactly” what extra parts (other than the ssd) to buy for this and where? Does iFixit has a tear down for imac with SSD so that I can see the photo of the part that is required in this SSD installation? Thanks...

Chosen Solution The inner hose was clogged. I took it off to clean it. Now I can’t get it to attach at the bottom. How do I attach it? Thanks Look at the manual: https://www.dyson.com/medialibrary/Files… I’m not exactly sure what you mean though, so you should take some pictures. Hope this helps!

Chosen Solution When plugging in crucial 2.5 SSD to Mac to clone it says “the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer” I don’t using cloning software as it often doesn’t work! Install the drive, then use internet recovery to first format the drive to GUID and then install a fresh OS on your new drive. To transfer your user accounts. apps and data over use a SATA to USB adapter like StarTech - SATA to USB Cable to connect your old drive, at the end of the OS install process you’ll be asked if you have anything to migrate over, select the externally connected drive and let is go!...

Chosen Solution Hi. I have the instax mini 8 Polaroid camera. I went to use it for the 4th time and all of a sudden it doesn’t work. When turned on all the orange lights are on the dial not just one, there’s a red light by the screen viewer and it won’t take any pics. How do I fix this? I emailed Fuji film and they didn’t answer So my film cartridge was stuck and I has to use a knife to push it out by the edges....

Chosen Solution After repairing the front screen on an iPhone 4 from AT&T and an iPhone 4S from Verizon, the front camera refuses to work. I believe this is an iOS 7 issue. Is anybody having this issue as well after repair? I run an iPhone repair business and need to get this figured out. On the iPhone 4 it could be that you accidentally broke off the camera capacitor. In this image you’ll see 2 silver dots above the yellow connector (http://guide-images....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone that is not charging. Works when plugged in. Also tends to freeze sometimes when using. Sometimes an app will not finish downloading. What part needs replacing, or is it multiple parts? I would start with checking to see if you have multiple apps open in the background. Also it sounds like a battery replacement is in order. Thank you for the quick reply.

Chosen Solution Display cable bracket. Bottom two screws won’t come un done and I even ordered a new kit, still no go. Any tips?? Hello, This could work but it might not but it’s worth a go if you have the gear. My recommendation is that you take the whole motherboard out with the screen as it’s still attached to the board. Then grab some solder and a soldering iron. I have this gear so it would be easy but if you don’t then it might not be the best option for you to try....

Chosen Solution Hi, I replaced the housing body frame of Iphone 7 and 7 plus. but after everything was installed on the new housing place and put the screen back, I tested out by turning on the phones. Then both of them stuck on Apple logo. I tried to hard reset but nothing works. Just to make sure if the charging is working but when I plugged it in, it doesn’t sound or vibrate at all....

Chosen Solution I wanted to switch from my iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11. I got 3 iPhones in total. Every one smelled strong like nail polish, alcohol and light sweet. I was pretty sure that this smell came from some damaged battery so I replaced them. Now the third iPhone still has this slight smell when smelling the charging port To my questions: Is this smell really from damaged batteries or from something else (new adhesive, that isn’t odorless anymore?...

Chosen Solution The thin metal piece at the top of the phone detached from the phone after a fall. Everything still works fine, but still, i’d rather have it attached. Is it ok to glue it, and if so, what type of glue should i use ? Thank you ! @anoyo anytime you need to glue something back, you want to make sure you are using an adhesive that will allow for future disassembly if so desired....

Chosen Solution Very recently I’ve been told that my network ic chip has been burnt due to water damage so is it possible to get it changed since everything else is perfectly working on my phone Theoretically, yes. But it requires microsoldering and you don’t know the condition of the pads underneath. Sorry to be the one to tell you this my guy, unfortunately the WiFi is integrated into the phone’s logic board....

Reinstalled in iMac…saw it this time but would not install Backup and after that wouldn’t see it anymore. Is this a firmware issue?? Thanks. Details: As shipped, these models only supported the 3 Gb/s SATA II standard for both a 3....

Chosen Solution Hi all, My apple watch screen suddenly went bright green/yellow (see video). The digitiser still works and the watch hardware is ok (siri will answer). If its the cable, then I’ll open it up. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1yjp7Mj4h… Sadly the cost for a 44mm replacement is more than the watch is woth. Thanks,Dave Hi Dave I quite hard to say but it could be a cable issue! It could also be a internally damaged OLED display I would open it up and reseat the cables in their connectors and if that doesn’t work it will need replaced I never pay the price they want for them new so I get a iCloud locked ones and remove their displays as they cost waaaaaay less and it’s original quality....

Chosen Solution I want to upgrade my laptop, but the word ‘“External” is in the title of the SSD kit that is sold on this site. It defeats the purpose of the laptop if I have to carry around a portable drive as well. Since there is no other information about it, has anyone bought this kit and does it actually go in the laptop or is it just external?...

Chosen Solution I just ordered the following SSD for my early 2013 MBP Retina 15". I’ve read some say it’s compatible, some said I need an adapter and some said it’s compatible but then need to download drivers. Is anyone able to assist?

Chosen Solution My phone completely froze. So I popped the back off, removed the battery, waited and then reassembled it. When it restarted, it was in safe mode (never had it happen before). I swiped the notification bar down and clicked the option to exit safe mode. My phone restarted and I then chose how I wanted to restart it. I chose home & app drawer (what I normally run). My phone loaded up fine and I have access to everything once again....
