repair

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here. I brought my wife's 2019 Macbook Pro in for a battery replacement and mentioned that the trackpad doesn't "click" anymore, but still works otherwise. It's as if the "force touch" setting is turned off in system preferences but otherwise...

Hi! I renewed the thermal paste and didn't realize the heatsink was mounted with a single fifth screw on the fan side that is very difficult to even reach. I removed the four screws on the CPU side, left the fan attached and carefully bent up the heatsink to remove the thermal paste. In the...

My APM are starting to show their age with quite abysmal battery life, granted they are about 3 years old. Since they are out of warranty, I know that I can request an out of warranty battery replacement. Does anyone have experience with the process? I was curious if it is an actual repair...

I've scoured all the usual sources online, and can't find a schematic for this A1407 (27" Thunderbolt display). it has the Lite-On power supply (not the Flex-whatever-it-was). Board PN is 614-0505 / PA-3251-31 There's no bulged caps, fuse is OK (pretty sure there's just the one?!), bridge is...

after pulling my G3 to bits and harvesting the analogue board from it I can't visually see anything that has failed. according to someone on YouTube they state if the Flyback is dead it could put a short on the horizontal transistor/circuitry and pull down the power rail, however when I...

Hello! First post here. I wanted to upgrade my 7th gen (or maybe it's a 6th gen?) ipod with an iFlash MicdoSD card adapter and a new battery. After watching hours of YouTube videos and buying some spludgers and pry-tools, I did my best but the photos below will show what happened. First off, an...

Hi - we have a 2021 5th generation iPad Pro 12" and when we went to use it this weekend the screen wouldn't respond to touch. We can operate the iPad perfectly fine from a keyboard but no touch. We tried hardware reset, running a full recovery and even updating to the latest iOS 17 with no luck...

Thing still works tho.

I got an out of the blue crack in my LCD screen on my Macbook Air M1 A2337, so I replaced the display assembly with a pulled original one from ebay and lost True Tone. Now I have the original display assembly with a broken LCD screen that I want to repair, therefore I'm looking for advice on...

Bought this ipad air 4 for very cheap. Initially, all it had was a cracked screen. Touch functions, speakers, etc all worked fine. I've done a few screen replacements before, mostly on generations that still had the home button. I followed this guide: Screen came off as easily as the video...

The dent is on the lower right screen part of the mac! What should I do? Is this covered by apple? I believe it happened during shipping. Which would be their fault for not packing it correctly, right? Or the repairman accidentally applied too much force but hoped I wouldn't notice. It seems...

Posting here to seek advice, see if anyone else has this issue, and what could be possible root causes of this. MacBook Pro M1 13" 2020: model A2338 The reliability of my USB-C/Charging port has been continuously reducing for some time. External SSDs would not always be detected, charging was...

Hey Folks, I recently had my iPhone 12 Pro at an official Apple Store for Battery Replacement (Wireless charging killed it to 80% in no time ...) Everything was smooth and fast, however, they told me that they damaged the screen while replacing the battery. And I thought "Well nice, a fresh new...

I have a Macbook Pro 15" 2019 (A1909) and the touch bar does not light up. It flickers for a second when I log in, but after that its completely dark. I can still use touch id and the other buttons on the touch bar (volume, brightness, etc...), but the touch bar is completely dark. I took it to...

This is my sisters and mine MBP. My laptop started getting weird display issues until it eventually stopped working/displaying. works fine if connected to an external monitor though. When I took it to the genius bar, they said it was a motherboard issue and the entire thing had to be replaced...

Hello - first post here 👋 I have a 2017 Intel MCP and for the second time my keyboard has messed up, with multiple keys being stuck down. They still function, just don't travel. I had the top case replaced free of charge under the service programme last year but Apple Support tell me that I'm...

My iPhone 8 plus has been a reliable companion for more than 5 years. I love the 8 Plus! The battery is now at 75% and last week I managed to drop the phone, resulting in cracks on the screen. I am contemplating sending the phone to Apple service for a screen and battery replacement. Does a...

The display on this M1 Macbook Air boots to a backlit screen with no image. When I push around the top of the laptop near the hinges the image appears. I've opened the laptop and checked the display cable and the main data cable and there are no issues. Here is a video of the problem...

Hey all, I recently cracked my mid-2017 iMac's display glass whilst installing an SSD. In the past, I recall taking the display glass off the computer with a suction cup, but it appears as though the glass is glued (?) to the display panel on this model. Is there any way to replace just the...

Hello everyone, I recently dropped my charger on the lid of my MacBook Pro, and of course the metal electrical prongs hit my laptop and left a nice little deep scratch. Does anyone have any products or solutions to fill this scratch in to fix it so it’s not noticeable? See the attached...
