Chosen Solution My macbook battery has swollen up a lot. Since ifix doesn’t ship batteries to Asia and nor do others like OWC due to regulations. I was wondering if anyone knows how are these batteries ever shipped from US to middle east or asia. There’s no legit apple service provider in my country (they’d be closed anyways) and due to lockdowns and COVID-19 situation, obviously I can’t really travel elsewhere....
Chosen Solution I’ve been uploading photos almost every day recently, now today, my Canon Digital will not upload. Why? What can I do to get it to upload? My son removed the battery and put it into the charger, hopefully that will fix it
Chosen Solution Hi guys, I am having a strange issue with my Thunderbolt display. This was bought in November 2015 and worked flawlessly until now. Due to moving flat, I packed it in its original box and left it like there for 1 month. Today I got it out of the box and set it up. After turning on, there is a “light” line that starts to show on the left side of the display just parallel to the screen border....
Chosen Solution I picked up a MacBook Pro A1398 for fairly cheap and it did not include an SSD. Does apple use a proprietary SSD or can I put another type of SSD in there? Apple always use proprietary SSDs on Retina MacBook Pros, however it is just in form factor. I believe in some models it is possible to make it work with an adaptor, but you wouldn’t be able to close the bottom lid because there won’t be enough space....
Chosen Solution Can I use the gold iPhone 5s volume, mute and power buttons for my iPhone 5 (I really like the color!). My iPhone 5 has a defective power button and Apple refused the free replacement due to a dent in the frame (stupid &&^&@*@!). So I’ll just fix it on my own. And since I’m already opening this thing I thought i’ll change the black buttons either with the silver 5 buttons or (better) the gold 5s buttons....

Chosen Solution Just picked up a Canon T70 from a thrift store, and wanted to test it out. When I initially checked to see if it would take shots, it just buzzed. After the buzzing finished, the camera would beep repeatedly. The battery level appears to be fine, although I have not had the chance to replace them. Looking online, I heard that it could be that the motor has seized up....
Chosen Solution Hi all, Replaced digitizer on the iPad Air with ifixits repair parts. All worked well except the auto lock is really sensitive now. I use a case that when I open it an fold the cover to the back it puts it to sleep. Never did this before the digitizer repair. Yes, I am aware I can turn that feature off, but would like it to function normally. Any ideas?...
Chosen Solution Hi, i replaced my old Battery with the Kit from ifixit.com and follow straight the instruction. When i turned on, the Touchscreen didn’t work any time. What is wrong? jeverwolf, I’m sorry to hear that your digitizer it not working correctly. First thing to try before tearing apart again is doing a hard restart by pressing and holding the lock and home button until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears....
Chosen Solution Hello all, I just replaced the battery for my iPhone SE, which worked like a charm! However, When I reassembled the phone, the upper right hand of the screen doesn’t fit flush with the casing. This is where all of the connectors are located. With everything assembled, there is a little “give” in that corner when I press on it. Thoughts on how to fix it? make sure you are putting the screen back in the correct way....
Chosen Solution Battery will not charge. Replaced charger. Still won’t charge. todd602 replace the battery next. If that does not yield any results you want to check the DC-in connector. Download the maintenance manual for your computer from here or use this guide Lenovo IdeaPad 310 Touch-15ISK Battery Replacement
Chosen Solution My iPhone XS get water in and stopped working. Apple said they can do nothing but replace the whole thing. Then I opened my phone with ifixit tools and dried the water. The device still not working. But I find that If I first plug in the charging cable without battery, then attach the battery to motherboard, it gives a repeatedly beep, roughly every two seconds. However If I attach the battery before I plug in the charging cable, nothing happens....
Chosen Solution Just fell off my bike with my MSi GL65 on the backpack and due the impact one of the superior corners of the screen chassis got a bit bent, luckily it didn’t broke the screen, but a light leak is appreciated. So, anything would happen if I leave it untouched? or should i teardown the screen in order to unbent the chassis? Hard to say. If the lid opens and closes then you might be able to leave it be....
Chosen Solution I have 2 Black & Decker 20 volt “Matrix” batteries. During another household project, I used the battery as a power supply for something else. Low draw, was not getting hot. Discharged down to 17 volts. Now when I plug it in, charger just shows “bad battery”. Another just shows “bad battery” on the charger when I plug it in. It’s practically new but I have no insight on that one....
Chosen Solution Hello, I’ve recently replaced the screen on a iPod touch 5th gen, When it was all reassembled the screen remained black. I’ve tried holding down both buttons to do a hard reset and the Apple logo does pop up and then go away very quickly. So I know the screen is connected correctly. I’ve reopened it and checked all connections and everything is clicked in perfectly! It does work in the background, for example I can hear Siri and the camera etc, and the computer does recognise it as on…....

Please help me, my blu ray drive on my ps3 SLIM won’t eject/insert disks, but I took it apart, and It still READS disks, but I think something popped off inside the blu ray drive, and thats why it won’t eject, or insert disks, and if I can see a Playstation 3 SLIM blu ray drive reassembly, that would REALLY help....
Chosen Solution '' ’’'' ‘‘When installing a new optical drive, the socket holding the thermal sensor connector came loose from the logic board. Is there anyway to repair this? Ouch! Thats real bad! You managed to rip the pads right off and it appears one of the top anchor points clips is still soldered to the logic board completely pulled out of the case. This is a tricky repair as you need to follow the trace lines to find a point to put a jumper to reconnect to the socket connecter (new) and get the socket anchored back to the logic board....
Chosen Solution I bought one of these used and everything was great. But, after a few days of leaving it plugged in and off, I noticed a crackling sound coming from it. I unplugged it and the noise immediately stopped. When I turned on the computer/display a bit later, the noise was terribly loud and gets louder/softer if I raise/lower the display brightness. Some online research seems to indicate that it has to do with the power supply (I guess this is what happens if there’s no real “off” button)....
Chosen Solution static sound from tv speakers,even using optic out to LG sound bar raymond mancino that sounds like a bad audio IC. Those are usually located on the main board. Since we do not know the model of your TV etc. I suggest that you start looking at the main board and check for obvious damage. The only other things you can try is a quick reflow of the IC or replace the main board and see if that makes a difference....
