GM everyone, I wanted to see if the backplate on my wife’s iPhone 11 can be repaired or not before I waste any of my time driving an hour to an Apple Store & waiting. Has anyone had this fixed on their iP11 ??

I have an old Series 5 that I use a backup watch to my primary. The battery dies fairly quickly. It's probably not worth much to sell, and Apple charges $299 to replace the battery, which is more than it's worth. There are battery replacement kits on Amazon for like $30. I've repaired many Apple...

MacBook just came out of repair and I noticed that the power button/Touch ID sensor has a small nick on the top edge, and the Apple Store employees and manager said that it was considered within normal machining tolerances. Really sucks because I personally would not tolerate this in the...

I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012 that I've upgraded with 16 gb ram and an SSD (kept the 500gb hdd instead of the disc drive). First I tried with a Corsair SSD Force Series GS 128GB, but after some time it stopped working - as in it's 100% dead. Doesn't work in other devices either. Then I...

Recently, a client's mid 2011 27" iMac died on him. His repair guy said it was beyond repair & worthless. He was gonna throw it out if I didn't want it. It seemed like such a waste so I said thank you & took it home. Physically, it looks to be in mint condition. No scratches anywhere. It...

Hi new user here, I have been reading news from this forum for a long time and finally register an account to share my experience fixing the old iPad2. tldr; I will not recommend anyone to do it, it is extremely tedious and tiring, opening up the iPad, cleaning, source the correct parts etc...

Got a Performa 5215CD and when I boot it up I get fan spin and drive noise but no video. The CD drive even opens up. When I take out the board there is no damage and other than a fine layer of dust, it looks like new. What could be the problem here? If it needs a recap, where can I find an in...

So I recently Purchased a donor 400k drive to fix my Original 128K Macintosh Floppy drive. I transplanted the head, which the old ones 0 sensor arm got deformed by me, lol. Lubricated everything, and tried to format. Keep in mind, my zero sensors is wrong, I am not really focusing on that quiet...

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...

Hello, I have a late 2015 27" iMac which has sadly been plagued with the backlight bleed issue. It is pretty severe with the ghosting and discoloration. I was curious, though, if I was to replace the LCD with another one off of eBay, it would have the same issue sooner or later, correct? Because...

Hello, I have a summer 2001 iMac G3 that I have no idea the background of. All I know is that it does not turn on. I have changed the PRAM battery and pushed the reset button on the logic board, and I have checked the trickle power which showed that the PSU isn't supplying enough power. I am...

I have a 2017 MacBook air (A1466) with a dead battery, and an older model (A1369). When I Google the battery replacement component for each model they seem to be compatible with each other. Can I just use my old battery in the new one instead of buying a whole new component? Thanks, Vinje

A client of mine brought me a Macintosh Plus with complaints of screen distortion. Device boots fine but the screen flickers all over the place like crazy. I've popped it open and played with the pots to adjust the screen position and voltage but so far no significant improvement unless I lower...

I've gotten a macbook pro 16 back in december 2019. long story short, it suffered kernal panics and was kindly replaced by apple 2 months after my 1 year for free from apple in early 2021. (march i think) the first time it was replaced the keyboard had only half part functioning then I was upset...

Mac Pro 6.1 (2013) A1481 Does anyone know where I can send a Logic or Motherboard for Mac Pro 6.1 (2013) A1481, to be refurbished/repaired to working condition. NOTE: just the Logic Board I have 3 ready for repair so it would be worth it if someone is up to the task. I am located in Thailand, so...

Hi, I’ve got a 2018 MBP 15” Radeon 555x Possible fried gpu. My question: Is it possible to boot with a completely disabled dGPU and use the intergrated only? I’ve seen a tutorial for doing this on the 2011 MBP, but can’t for the life of me find anything for any of the newer machines. Please...

(I’ll try to keep this as short as possible) tldr; The keyboard on my 2018 (4 thunderbolt, $1800) MBP failed multiple times, leading to device replacement, however, Apple is offering me 13” M1 MBP (my problem with that: only 2 thunderbolt ports and $500 less than what I paid for my Mac...

I have a 2019 Macbook Air that is dead. I've had pretty poor experiences with the Apple Store in the past so we brought it to a local repair center that we trust. He's telling me that he believes it is the T2 chip. Machine: Apple MacBook Air (13-inch Retina display, 1.6GHz dual-core Intel...

I am looking to get my mother a used 2013 iMac for Christmas to start her digital design business, but it has a dead fusion drive. I repair computers and have no problems with replacing parts, but one thing giving me pause is the fusion drive the computer originally came with. Am I able to...

My battery needs replacing on my MacBookPro 13 (2015). I emailed a local Apple certified service centre (IStyle - which is present in countries where apple for some reason doesn't have their own brick and mortar: Germany, Austria, Italy...) I was told that the repair cannot have "only" battery...
