Chosen Solution Can I add an SSD as extra internal storage for the 3452 eMMC model? I don’t see a SATA connector. Yes and No? If it is a Dell Inspiron i3542 then you can because the connector is soldered to the motherboard but if it is an ordinary Dell Inspiron 3542 then you cannot because there is no connector on the motherboard but also remember you still need that dang ribbon connector and bracket to hold the SATA drive so that is gonna cost you some money....

Chosen Solution Hi all, My mobile is Sony Xperia Z4, the battery was damaged (when reaching 50% or 60%, the mobile was shutdown), so I need to replace my battery (2930 mAh) with Huawei Nova 2 (2950 mAh) and with the same voltage and dimensions (of course I’ll replace my battery adapter with a new battery). Can I do this? Thanks in advance. If you can get the positive and negative leads on the battery to line up with the terminal, you’ll be fine....

Chosen Solution I bought this Macbook Pro (My first one), and I was wondering if I could swap out my existing SSD. Ever since I bought it brand new, I can only manage a maximum of 4GB/S read speeds and is much slower than my previous laptop (7-8GB/S Read, NVME). It takes a long time to start up (3 Min including login), opening apps (Chrome takes 5-10s), and open video files, especially as a student, who needs to use it almost 24/7 (taking so much time)....

Chosen Solution My laptop was falling down at 2 meters height and suddenly the screen holder was broken but the unit is still working. The only problem is, it can’t close/open properly due to the broken screen holder. What should I do? Hi @mccjong If possible take some pictures and let us have a look… btw Im not sure if it is Inspiron 1520-PP22L If this is the model…. IMO the parts if direct from Dell, which likely not available as EOL, or from aliexpress / amazon / ebay can be costly … not economic to repair to just buy the body / frame parts....

My buddy got scammed awhile back and bought an ICloud locked apple watch and has been sitting on it ever since, it’s the same model as mine. Will I be able to remove and swap screens between the two? Thanks. Yes, but it’s a pretty hard repair. You also need to transfer the NFC chip to the new screen if you don’t want to lose Apple Pay....

Chosen Solution Hello! I recently removed the screen of my 27” iMac to replace a dead HDD with a new SSD. After the repair, there are pixels that are “stuck” along the left and right edges. They do not appear when the display is a bright color, but they are very visible when the display is black. I am wondering if this is likely LCD panel damage, or perhaps a cable isn’t seated all the way?...
