Chosen Solution I want to use my iMac as a monitor for my 2015 MacBook Pro. I know that this iMac missed the boat for Target Display Mode by 3 years but I’m wondering if there’s some other way that I can use this iMac as a monitor. I’ve seen other threads about this and they don’t look very promising. @mayer @danj Update (01/29/2019) @oldturkey03 Alright so I finally have some time on my hands to crack this machine open and figure out what model of display panel my iMac has....

Chosen Solution I have recently scratched my iMac 21.5" glass screen. Is there a way to replace the Glass screen? Took it apart… It’s literally glued to the screen glass. Apple removed the original glass from the LED monitor and fused it to their glass. You cannot replace just the glass. Here’s how to take it apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyMvGZD… Here’s the glass: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wh… Here’s where I got mine. I had originally bought the glass, hoping to remount it to the LCD....

Chosen Solution I bought this pc in 2014 and I used for less than one year because I bought another one. So I saved the first one in a box in safe place until yesterday I get it and try to turn on but I see that the mouse, keyboard and screen are not worked and the fun is work and also when I put or remove the charger the pc make a beep....

Chosen Solution Hello, I just replaced the battery in my Macbook. It will hold a charge for about an hour, drain to about 85% and then shoot down to 7% and continue to die in a quick 15 minutes. I already did all possible resets and other troubleshooting. What else could cause this issue? It looks like you got a bad one, contact the iFixit store support folks to get a replacement https://help....

Chosen Solution hi after braking my laptop (was cleaning cooler) now not working my keyboard light. can you tell me how can fix this problem? all drivers is updated If you opened the laptop to clean the cooler there’s a chance that you disconnected a cable that powers the keyboard LEDs. For this model I believe that there are two ribbon cables, one for the keyboard and one for the LEDs, make sure that both of these are connected correctly

Chosen Solution When I try to turn the screwdriver, the screw doesn’t even move. I guess they are glued or something. @knoni12 check your charger with a multimeter make sure that it works properly. After that check to see if it charges the battery. Measure at the battery connector to see if you get power there when you plug your charger into the 2DS. If you do not, it is possible that you have a bad charging port....

Chosen Solution Hi, I tried using software (I think FonePaw or such) to unlock my old Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T1) to access the old photos and videos. But it got stuck in between and now the phone doesn’t turn on, except when I press the 3 buttons (power + home + down sound). And when it does, it simply shows (the image below) and then quickly shuts off every time. Please tell there’s a way to fix this, and also save my pictures and videos!...

Chosen Solution Hello, I have a 2011 27” iMac with a dead HDD. I want to replace the drive and then resell the system. My question is, which HDD would be the easiest to install? Can I just buy this kit and replace the SSD? OWC SSD Upgrade Bundle for 2011 iMacs, OWC Mercury Electra 250GB 6G SSD, AdaptaDrive 2.5" to 3.5" Drive Converter Bracket, in-line Digital Thermal Sensor Cable, Installation Tools Or, do I need to buy an adapter or should I just go ahead and buy a HDD?...

Chosen Solution Are there any anti-repair boobytraps in this device? Touch-ID of course is probably coupled with logicboard I’m going to assume.. What about the screen for example though? Does swapping the screen with replica variant cause true-tone to disable? Hi This is a really good question HOWEVER… Unfortunately people haven’t really tried looking for any anti repair traps so they are basically unknown but I can give you some information on what to expect and lookout for:-) (just from my experience from Apple products in general!...

Chosen Solution My iPhone 11 microphone is extremely weak all of a sudden, not actually sure if the main microphone is even functioning, or the sound that it picks up is from the secondary mic. I’m looking for a way to test the mic and maybe fix the issue Use dry interdental brushes (0.3-0.5mm) and poke them around your microphone port, do this as much as needed hopefully your microphone will work like new....

Chosen Solution Okay this is quite weird as I have seen many issues with iPhones but nothing like this. So the housing on an iPhone 5s swapped out for another OEM housing. (Previous housing had physical damage) After the swap, the phone was powered on, however we noticed the time it took for the screen to light up after holding the power button was ’longer’. It took about 4 seconds of holding....

Chosen Solution 5 Ghz works perfectBluetooth works perfectGPS works perfect ‘WiFi signal 2.4 Ghz is very weak’ I read quite all questions posted here, the more I could not solve my problem. I’m sure it is a hardware failure that has already performed all software testing I tried a few things I’ve seen posted here … Images are illustrative and not real … I tried to clear the Wi-Fi contacts that are located in the upper left corner of the board logic....

Chosen Solution Iv had my phone for about a year now, no water damage, cracks or anything. For a while now anytime I try to use the microphone in apps like facetime, skype or when using siri, the microphone doesn’t pickup my voice unless I use my earphones. In phone calls or when taking videos the microphone will pickup the audio. The microphone is turned on for apps and iv tried just about everything, anyone have an idea of how to fix this so I can video chat my friends?...

I was getting plenty of messages & notifications , but I tried to slide to put in my password & my screen was being unresponsive . It currently still is unresponsive . what do I do ?...

Chosen Solution The backlight on my iPhone 6s started faintly fluttering and then the entire phone screen went black. I tried to do the reset/restart by holding the home button and lock button down together, and nothing happened. i franticly was pushing the home button a bunch and still nothing. The phone then randomly came back (didnt restart) but just appeared normal again. Its done this now three times in the past 5 minutes....

Chosen Solution One day I was charging my phone and it just turned off and went into a boot loop so I looked up some tips online and they told me to just restore it. I was told to put the iPhone on the screen with the iTunes logo and restore but when I tried it gave me error 21 then error 2009 and when it restores it powers off and goes right back to the apple screen....

Chosen Solution I recently changed my battery because my iPod would not charge, now it still wont charge or connect to Itunes. It pretty much just doesnt even register that it is connected. Please HELP!!! Could it be a problem inside the iPod where it connects to the cord??? I’m guessing you have an issue with your dock connector. Check it again to make sure that all of your cables and connectors are seated properly....

Chosen Solution I almost always use tiptronic transmission in my car to lower fuel consumption but it doesn’t change to gear 5 even my speed is more than 100 km per hour is there anything wrong i have to check ? It’s not harmful, but it’s pointless. Automatics are programmed to shift to maximize efficiency.Does it shift into 5th and 6th gear in automatic mode? كيف اقوم بصيانة ناقل الحركة الاتوماتيكي لان عند وضعه علىd لاتتحرك السيارة وعند وضعه علىr تتحرك السيارة للخلف

Chosen Solution I recently saw that my Nexus 6P’s volume button has bended on the upper part so now i cant raise the volume through the button. So i was just wondering if the button is able to be replaced with a new one. If its even possible to buy new ones. Doesn’t look like any are on the market right now. You can probably easily get a warranty replacement if your phone hasn’t been opened up....

Chosen Solution I am willing to buy an 2-1 laptop because I have to read a lot. I was willing to buy a Yoga (Lenovo) 7i but I saw that Dell and HP had better repairability scores. Is the Yoga 7i easily reparable or is there a laptop with comparable performances which is better reparable ? Thanks in advance, Simon Dallemagne, I don’t own this one but in the following review (in French) it is specified that the RAM is soldered, the WLAN and battery are removable: https://www....
