Chosen Solution I replaced the battery in my iPhone XS, and all seems to be well, however the battery does not charge. The phone recognises that a power source is connected through the tone (both through using the lightning port or charging pad), however the battery icon does not change to the battery icon superimposed with the spark. The battery is also stuck at 0%. I can boot the phone ok, but it shuts down after a few minutes if I do something that draws more power....

Chosen Solution Recently I changed the housing of my phone and a problem occurred. When the phone is off, if I connect it with the charger, it turns on but it doesn’t indicate that is charging and the battery level is slowly reducing which would be normal if the cable was not connected. If I leave it some hours with the charging cable on then the battery level will go to 100%...

Chosen Solution Replaced cracked screen on Surface pro 3 and now the battery isn’t detected, tried doing updates in windows, it will sit and restart every 15mins to do a firmware update but will never complete and continually restart, tried uninstalling the driver from device manager for the battery, tried just letting it charge, tried the power button and volume up button for 15 seconds or longer. any other suggestions?...

Chosen Solution Replaced LCD and digitizer , LCD flex cable and motherboard. I can hear tablet is on but screen is black. Already tried hard reset. I have yet to screw it back together as I thought I’d make sure it worked first.. what am i missing? Hi Liz, Good call on testing it before screwing it all back together. Okay, so I saw from your previous post that you’d originally had water damage, so basically it looks like at this point you’ve replaced almost every major component of your tablet!...

Chosen Solution I have purchased an iPhone 7 Plus that was faulty due to the screen, the seller stated they tried to repair themselves but could only see a light behind the screen and not any display appearing on the screen. I have looked at the phone when it arrived and on the screen it had a red sort of plastic so I took that off, attached all the cables back in but left the covers off I have then tried powering on but I just get a black screen, even when charging I do not get a charger icon....

Chosen Solution No picture want start, black screen and 4 beeps Kissah Davis, 4 beeps on your Dell are for a Memory read / write failure. This could be caused by a bad memory module. First you should try to reseat it. To do that you fully open the securing clips, align the notch on the bottom of the module with the crossbar in the connector, place several fingers on top of the module and firmly push the module down into the slot, until the module snaps into position....

Chosen Solution Hello, can I ship you my freewheeler luggage to be repaired? It is my favorite travel bag and the zipper has completely come detached from the fabric and the fabric is frayed. I can send a photo if that helps. Thank you, Peter @pkline, You do realize what iFixit is, right? It’s not a company that does repairs for people who sends in things. This is a community where people can ask questions about repairing anything an (almost) everything....

Chosen Solution Recently, i broke the screen and had the LCD digitizer replaced by a local guy. Upon replacement, the screen itself did not sit completely flush and there was a small glimmer of light that you can see through the side of the digitizer; no biggie all seemed to be fine. however now the LED does not work (i open the flashlight app and nothing happens), Nor does the camera app work....

Chosen Solution hello my samsung uhd UE43JU6050UXZG got hit where the IR Sensor is and fom that region upwards the whole screen is now white (vertikal) what can i do wasou “got hit where the IR Sensor is “ usually a pretty good indication that this is a broken LCD screen. Hard to see in your picture so. I would suggest that you take another image of the screen in a darkened room so we can try an check the screen for you....

Chosen Solution you can as long as the box you are putting them in supports that standard for the piece. like RAM there is DDR2, DDR3, DDR4. wifi is usually in a M.2 slot or PCI/e slot and so one. you just have to find out if the newer one has the slots for it. as for the HDD and SSD they are universal but really old ones are IDE and without a adapter can not work on the newer SATA port but the adapter is like $5

Chosen Solution display light comes on, but no sound, unless ipod is in ‘on’ mode and ‘on off’ switch is moved a fraction and held there. a/c switch seems to be the problem. how can i get into the unit to remove & replace it? it is tough to imagine, that the a/c switch has a problem, but such seems to be the case. can i open this unit without wrecking the casing?...

Chosen Solution Hi there, I noticed on your guide you say it’s impossible to open the pebble without compromising its waterproofing. Would you say it’d be that much more difficult to re-waterproof the device? Pebble now uses screws and gaskets to close and seal the most recent Pebble Originals and all versions of Pebble Steel. Hopefully iFixit will revisit their teardown and, well, fix it :-). The latest hardware is much more repairable; here’s a step by step photo gallery of a Pebble DIY screen replacement: https://www....

Chosen Solution Interior lights won’t go off on my 1997 expedition Check the switch that turns the dash lights brighter and dimmer. There is usually a position on the switch that when turned to the brightest setting on your dash lights can be turned a little more which causes the interior lights to stay on. You will feel a click in the switch at the point the interior lights will come on....

Chosen Solution air conditioner is leaking water at firewall All air conditioning units’ evaporator coils (the one that gets cold) get wet from water vapor condensing on them, like a cold beer on a hot day. The more humid the air, the more condensation there will be, and it will need to drain. I don’t know the Dakota specifically, but I will bet there is a condensation drain below your evaporator coil that is clogged....

Chosen Solution I have an iPad Pro from a customer who stated that the iPad would not power up. All original, never opened. Customer stated that she put the iPad on charge one night, and the next morning, the screen was black. She did not have access to iTunes. She also said that the iPad was NOT dropped and not wet. I took the iPad, connected to iTunes, which recognized device in restore mode....

Chosen Solution Can you help me understand why I should pay €90 for a ifixit battery while I can buy one for €40? Is the quality of the fixit superior to other brands? Thank you for your help, Hi @glmcelen , What is the warranty on the €40 battery? iFixit gives a 12 month warranty on their battery That’s right, you don’t have to. You can even pay for just a dollar if you can find such offers....
