I‘ve now done a few battery replacements for myself and for family. First, I did my iPhone XS, which was at 81% battery health. Battery life seemed unchanged from the 81% BH original battery, and then I had to deal with the warning messages about the third-party battery. This last week I put...

Hey y'all, Posted this on reddit but thought I should have it here as well :) Recently, I purchased the California poppy Apple leather link from FB marketplace and although I was very happy with how the band looked and the sturdiness of the magnets (got burned with some cheap aliexpress bands...

Hello, I have an iPhone x that i am trying to recover my photos from. The iCloud photo backup was turned off. And the allow USB accessories while locked was turned off. The original screen, it stopped recognized being touched. Replaced the screen, still wont recognize touch. Possible issue with...

A cracked-but-still-working 2020 iPad (Model A2428) recently came into my possession via my workplace's IT department. The device wasn't passcode locked (I received explicit permission that I could keep it) and the device works great except for a severely cracked digitizer and some traces of the...

I love the design of the iMac and were wondering if it could be converted into a gaming machine. I have found myself a used iMac 27" from Late 2013 and I am trying to understand if it would be possible to upgrade more or less everything apart from the chasis. In other words, I would like to do...

I have a 2017 iMac 5K base model that I've purchase used 1 year ago. I wanted to use it without opening the screen, however, because it is equipped with an HDD it is super slow and drives me crazy. It would be ideal if I could upgrade both NVME and HDD to SDD, but it seems like the price of SATA...

Hey everyone! I've been a longtime Macrumors reader, but haven't posted much. Figured I'd share a project I did recently (and hope this is in the right sub!). I saw the iPod Hifi a couple years ago in person and became slightly obsessed, both with the design and the sound quality. I went on a...

So instead of taking it to the shooting range like I had planned, I'm now gutting my old iMac so I can turn it into a terrarium (if intersted in parts I have everything except the broke motherboard available) My question is: does anyone have an idea of how to remove the plastic parts that are...

Recently replaced the touchscreen/digitizer on my Mini 2 and ran into a weird problem. First off - FPC connector and cables and board connectors are fine for both LCD (original) and touchscreen (replacement, third party). On power on, the touchscreen works for about 10-15 seconds (registers...

My late 2015 iMac recently went kaput with the disk with the question mark flashing. Took down to the Genius Bar and they said the hard drive was gone and said they would repair it with a new one for a couple hundred bucks. Few days later they called back and said because I had gotten a custom...

I've been researching upgrades that can be done to a 2017 27" 5K iMac...putting in a 1TB NVMe SSD blade and large 8-10TB 3.5in HD, 64GB RAM and CPU upgrade (3.4GHz to 4.2GHz) and then I thought.... CAN YOU BUILD YOUR OWN iMAC??? Has anyone?? In theory...parts would fit I'd think between 2017...

Been juggling a few different backup solutions in my home, limping by on scattered USB drives and an old Time Capsule that we've outgrown. Don't want to spend the money on a full NAS like a QNAP, thought it might be cheaper to trick out an old USB3 RAID enclosure to handle Time Machine backups...

This is still some time down the way, but in the planning for a BGA remove-and-replace of the PPC750CX chip on my clamshell 466 (or another 466 down the way) to a PPC750CXe, this post on another thread steered me toward looking at the availability and pricing of PPC750CXe standalone chips...

I got two iPhone cables which stopped charging my iPhones. The first is still on warranty. It’s being repaired by an Apple authorized repair shop. The second’s warranty period got expired. Should I buy new cables? I’ve got two factors for you to consider: Does a repaired cord charge the...

Hello. I intend on upgrading my 27" late 2012 iMac with a blade SSD AND replacing the existing 1TB 3.5" HD. Originally I was thinking of replacing the 3.5" HDD with something like the 4TB Seagate Barracuda Pro (7200 RPM, 256MB Cache) which boasts sustained data speeds of up to 250MB/s...

I wanted to wear my Apple Watch will doing my DIY Project.

I'm about to buy an OWC kit to make the upgrade by myself and there's plenty of videos about how to replace the hardware on the OWC site and on YouTube ... what I cannot find anywhere is a tutorial on how to take everything (Mac OS included) from my old Fusion disk and put it on the new SSD ...

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this but, these part do come from two old early 2011 Core i5 13," and one mid-2012 Core i5 13" MacBook Pro. I currently own three, 2.5" 500GB HDD drives that have the same speed of 5400 RPM. I don't really know what to do with them...

I've been a long time user of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I just purchased an IPP 10.5 and couldn't find a case I liked. The standard book cover case for the Tab S 10.5 is a great design with two buttons that snap into the back of the tablet. The case has three viewing positions and is stable...
