Chosen Solution Hello, I have an Asus Vivobook S15 S510UN laptop. I installed multiple operating systems on it: Windows, Linux and macOS. I have used it for more than 1 year with this configuration. I noticed that my laptop does not enter UEFI BIOS settings today. I believe this problem started with Linux grub update when updating kernel but I am not sure. I can use and boot into Linux and Windows without any problem....
Chosen Solution Hello there! I just won a brand new iPhone 7 (32GB model) and since the phone is new, I was wondering, maybe it’s time to upgrade my iPhone 6S from a while back. I know this is not a big jump, however the thought of a new device is very tempting. My question is, was the Audio IC failure ever addressed-revised in the later manufactured models of the iPhone 7, or this phone is a ticking clock, waiting to die on me?...
Chosen Solution I’ve had my iPhone 7 for quite some time and I’ve noticed that I’m missing a button for auto brightness. I know that it got moved to screen accommodations but it only shows “auto brightness may effect battery life” I updated to the iOS 13 beta and I found the auto exposure switch that I’m guessing does the same thing but I’m still not seeing the brightness dynamically change....
Chosen Solution Hi I ordered a new battery from iFixit and installed it successfully. It’s only been a few weeks and it’s returning the ‘service battery’ error. We’ve reset the SMC and done a full battery calibration and the battery is still requesting a service and lasting approx 3 hours maximum. Any suggestions ? I have this problem too. see image I have low cycle count of 45. I already have tried reset the SMC/PRAM and tried calibrated the battery....
Chosen Solution So I recently replaced the logic board in my Early 2011 MACBOOK PRO in an attempt to breath some life back into it. Previous symptoms were the screen coming out greenish with very pixelated apple logo then crash before ever reading login screen. New logic board fixed that problem, got the computer running but a new series of issues has arisen: originally the battery emblem had the grey X in it, and the power cord light is stuck green even though battery is not charged....
Chosen Solution Hi, I’m currently working on a 13” MacBook Pro, Early 2015. Customer come in after trying to power on their MacBook that had been sitting in a drawer for 6 months idle. MacBook was working fine before then. First of all I tried to start the laptop to see if I could somehow get the original battery to get any charge. The power adapter shows no lights (Orange or Green) After no luck, I ordered a replacement battery and successfully installed it....

Chosen Solution Hi guys, Before I found out the broken mic on the Iphone 4s i did some testing with a broken iphone 4. The iPhone 4 was fallen in the water 4 months ago, so i thought to test the parts on the motherboard of the iphone 4s. I only did test the mic by connecting it on the board of the 4s. The mic of the 4 wasn’t working on the 4s, so i concluded it broken....
Chosen Solution I live in Switzerland and have always charged my glow with a US-EU adapter. But now one of the two pogpins is broken and i need an other way to charge it. At the Moment i use a Labor Power Supply and charge it directly. Output: 9V / 2A @pogopooc, Is it not feasible for you to replace the broken pin? On the previous question on this glow light we talked about sourcing the pins and referred to a video showing the process of replacing them on a different device....

Chosen Solution Hi dear Experts, the battery of my MPB late 2013 13" Retina A1502 EMC 2678 is not charging. No water spills (really!!!), stopped working from its own. Macos sais “Battery not being charged” and “battery is ok” (in the beginning), now sais “battery need to be replaced", cable light is amber and kernel task consumes a lot of CPU if battery is plugged-in. Resetting SMC worked once, but problem came back and reset never worked again....
Chosen Solution Can I add an extra ssd to my 2015 iMac 27 5k the one comes with a single 1tb hdd? Yes, but no. This model has one SATA connection, which is where the HDD is connected, and the option of adding an Apple SSD PCI-e blade drive. Not at all the same as a sata SSD. See this guide where it shows the replacement of a blade drive: iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Blade SSD Replacement It seems to be a high difficulty repair because of the location of the PCI-e slot....
Chosen Solution Hi, I dropped my MBP on the floor and the screen is very dim, almost black (no backlight). And although by shining a torch on it, I can see it’s booting, it’s also booting strangely (into weird screens), and sometimes shutting itself off apropos nothing. I’ve dismantled it and tried reattaching cables (including display) and PRAM reset and everything, but it’s still bad news. So I’m going to put in a new logic board as – by the way it’s acting, and also the sound it’s making – I suspect the problem is too intense to fix....
Chosen Solution It’s so hard to get an i7 4771k CPU Can not find it…. So I want to try i7 4770k Does it work? The K CPU series doesn’t work in this iMac - it’s not coded in the EFI firmware as supported. The problem with finding a 4771 is that CPU is made just for Apple and even Apple doesn’t supply it as a spare part separately. The only way Apple supplies it is as a part of a motherboard assembly, and it is covered with tamper evident seals....
Chosen Solution I have a 42 mm GPS series 3 Apple watch with a cracked screen. I am interested in buying the ifixit kit, but my model is not listed under the list of compatible watches, even though the title of the product listed is in fact what I own. I would contact ifixit support and verify that way.
Chosen Solution Can’t figure out the screw bit needed for this and that’s after going through my bits in my pro tech tool kit. That looks like a Torx TR6, TR8 or TR10 screw. There are two versions of Torx these with a pin in the middle is the security version (TR) By chance is this a five lobe screw? Your image is not very clear, then that would be a 5-Point Tamper Resistant Star Bit...
Chosen Solution Hi. I got my hands on an “O by Nespresso” mashine that was already defective. I now took the mashine apart and found 1 chip and a MOSFET that failed. I was able to identify the MOSFET which is the CSD88537ND from Texas Instruments. Where can I buy that MOSFET? The second chip is maybe a DRV8328 but I can’t tell… (see photo) Pls anybody that can help me with that....
Chosen Solution I am looking for a thottle cable for my 2001 Mazda 626 V6. The original part number is GD7E-41-660. Anyone have one they would sell? @cheryl2001_626 sorry but iFixit does not yet have a swap space for parts etc. However, you can get that cable at plenty of places like this one and many others.
Chosen Solution Mine is MacOSX High Sierra, 16GB RAM, 17" late 2011, ATI hardware disabled by PROM reprogramming - (again) working flawlessly for 18 months. 3 days ago it “lost” its Bluetooth hardware. Error code 4SNS/140000001:VG0C-0.000 I can find almost no mentioning of Bluetooth in any Console logs - okay, the data might only go back a few days? - but it feels as if BT never was there. If I can supply some logs to shed light on this, which should it be?...
Chosen Solution I opened up my Iphone 8 plus to replace my bottom and upper speaker, closed it back up, everything seems to work great. However apparently my 3D touch is not working. My touchscreen is working, just not my 3D touch. The screens are the original Apple screen. Any idea why this may be? Thanks! The two main reasons why 3D touch sometimes dosen’t work is that it’s not turned on in your setting or you aren’t applying enough pressure onto the screen....
