damage

Hello Mac friends, Will using HFS+ damage SSDs (understanding that APFS was made of SSDs and HFS+ is for hardisks, for mechanical drives)? This is for Time Machine (speed is not a priority). If HFS+ won't damage the SSD, I'm switching from APFS to HFS+ hoping I won't get the 'not enough space'...

My iPad was dropped down a flight of stairs and fell on the carpet. My touchscreen is relatively that damaged, probably a few thin cracks through. My iPad bezel, however, is completely destroyed and the screen is coming off the body. Any way I can turn it on?

I know this is going to sound ridiculous. Please just bear with me. So I opened up my Macbook this morning to witness this. Seems to be LCD damage because it only manifests when the screen is on, and brightness affects how visible it is. Did some research this morning and the answer I got was...

Hi y'all, in my years I've had my fair share of replacement Apple devices. Currently, I have an iPhone 13 mini that has AppleCare till the end of November 2023. I broke the back a couple of months ago and am holding out getting it repaired as I don't wanna spend money on the repairs all the...

I noticed this burnt-like looking mark on my Alpine Loop after I washed it in Oxyclean. Maybe it is just coincidence and I got the mark somewhere else. I don’t smoke or use lighters. Also, no grilling or any other open flame. Anyone has any idea how would this be possible. Photo below.

Hi, I have spilled some lemon water on my Macbook Pro 16" 2019. I have fixed the keyboard (some keys were sticky and backlight did not work). The water got on the display too sadly. The Macbook has been sitting next to a dehumidifier for over a week now. The screen got much better but it still...

Hello. I have a few questions regarding chargers. Will using old lightning cables damage my new iPhone 14 Pro Max’s charging port? There are worn out/corroded marks right below the white rectangle on the old charging cable I own, does that scratch, scrape, dent, or damage the surrounding...

I have a iPad Air 5th gen 256 cellular and it has liquid damage would Apple replace it or repair it and I don’t have Apple unfortunately and I’m willing to pay what ever I have to without buying a whole new one

2009 13" Macbook Pro. As the title says, hinge (or hinge cover?) is in somewhat poor shape, cracks throughout the surface. Device itself opens and closes fine. Any knowledge as to whether the appearance is just cosmetic? Should I be worried? Thought about painting it with super glue or...

I have an iPhone 13, this crossed my mind recently. I have a habit of falling asleep with the phone in my hands, while I'm watching something or grab it to turn the alarm off, and invariably I wake up with it under me (usually on my side). Although I'm light, I wonder if the pressure of the...

This morning i transferred some files from my iMac to my 15" MBP (2016) using it in target disk mode, then i put it in my backpack to get to work, but since i was late i forgot to switch it off and just assumed it would shut off when i had closed the lid. Unfortunately that was not the case and...

i fell down and dropped my macbook as well :( screen is not damaged and it works yet. it only has this visible damage. could there be any more problems? and is there any way to fix it?

I’ve attached a picture of the problem, there was a spill and I opened it up and cleaned it up. The colour of the line is washed out but when playing a game (heating it up) it changes until it goes away and then reappears darker. This process of changing happens slowly over 10-15 minutes. What...

Took my 12 Pro Max into the Genius Bar today to get the screen replaced. I got it back and there are scratches/scuffs all along the sides of the phone. I imagine this happened so they could take the old screen off and put the new one on. Has anyone experienced this before? Kind of upset that...

so yesterday night I used the Facebook app for about I think 10 minutes when I noticed that the upper left side next to the camera was really hot. Actually it wasn't the battery because I know that the battery is located on the right side under the camera so it has to be the logic board. My...

My wife and I recently purchased new iPads with AppleCare. I’ve never had AppleCare on my devices, but the coverage of accidental damage was enticing. Side note: I dropped my first iPad - the lovely iPad 2 - a week after I got it back in 2011. Shattered the whole screen. ? That was expensive to...

Hello, I hope this is the right place to post it. So my MacBook Pro screen suddenly starred to have lines on it. In the beginning it wasn’t that big, but now it’s really annoying. I’m not living in USA and in my country they ask for around 920$ to replace the internal screen. Is anyone know...

I don’t know how I got this scratch. It’s very tiny and faint but I always used a clean silicone case. What do you guys think. I’m thinking that it already was there out of the box and it came from the factory itself. The scratch is above the flashlight (not on the camera area).

My 11 pro max I bought in may 2020 was aggressively caught in crossfire and thrown at the wall by someone other than me. I take beautiful care of my phone, I have Apple care + I’m considering swapping it out but do I need to? Are those “new” phones Apple give you actually new? I’m worried there...

If car keys were to tap or hit my iPhone screen would it crack the screen since iPhone screens are easily cracked, and would I easily and definitely notice it if there was any cracks?
