dead

I get the feeling we all have at least one or eleven of these tucked away somewhere. They may be future projects, donors, or even cobblestones for your own paved road to best-laid intentions. So I’ll start.

Hi there! For some mystical reasons my $4k MBP has died a few days ago. I have been very gentle to this beast and mostly used it as a desktop. Apple Authorized Service diagnosed "logical board" failure and suggested a replacement. No possible cause was given, but a quote of $1K for a...

Trying to diagnose my iPhone SE, help. The story started about a month ago, I went swimming with my iPhone SE in my pocket. I left it in a bowl of rice for a day but when it turned on, the power button was water logged making it continuously pressed and the screen was unresponsive with lots of...

Soooo, today I figured I wanted to replace the original, crisp thermal paste on my Early 2015 MacBook Pro 13" Retina. I opened the back case and just started working on it. Except one thing... I forgot to disconnect the battery, but disconnected the keyboard cable (I think LOL). Anyway, applying...

Hey, I purchased a Macbook pro 2016 w/touch bar online and the other day it froze whilst i was using it and then shut down and "your system restarted because of a failure press any button to continue" or something along those lines appeared. Pressed a button, waited for it to load but it got...

My mother got an iPad 2 in early 2013 and used it until she got an iPad Air 2 in 2016. Around that time, she accidentally dropped the iPad 2 with a cheap case in front of our door step and it cracked the screen, but it still worked fine. After several months to a year, it just stopped turning...

So I had a mom and pop shop replace the battery in my iPhone about a month ago, and its been all downhill from there. Currently my iPhone 6 is completely dead. It started with it just completly shutting off randomly 5-20 times per day (not an old battery problem as the battery was just...

Hey guys, I just got the miserable news that my Macbook Pro mid 2012 has a major problem with its motherboard. How can I take back the data that was in its SSD and HDD? Please tell me it is possible. Thanks!

I have a dual core early 2009 Mac pro.. I was working just fine till one day it just died over me. After tons of research I figured it was the PSU as the diagnostic LEDs were dead aswell so I gave the PSU to this mechanic I knew and he sort of fixed the issue (I Think) cause after the repair the...

I have a late 2014 27inch imac that seems to be killing power supplies. model numbers a149, mf886LL/A, EMC2806 I started having random shutdowns. The only way to turn it back on was to reset the SMC by pulling the power cord out and discharging the capacitors. I did everything I could think...

I bought a 12" PB G4 (model A1010, 1.33 GHz) from eBay, and I'm having trouble getting it to boot. I bought a 3rd-party 65W adapter, which appears to charge the battery just fine - the indicators on the battery blink in sequence as the battery charges. However, nothing happens when I press the...

I just purchased a new in box 2016 macbook from Woot. It was for my 13yo daughter, and was a good deal for what she needed. When it arrived, the laptop was at 0% charge. I had it plugged in for about 7 hours at work while I was setting it up and didn't notice until I took it home that it was...

Hi So i am having problems with my macbook pro 13" retina. About a week ago i drained the battery until it was completely empty and left the laptop without charger for about a week (i know this is a bad idea but was in a rush at the moment...) Then i returned home yesterday, charged the...

Hello all, I've received a 2013 model MacBook Air that does not power on or respond to anything. The story I was told was that the previous owner was using an Arduino connected directly to one of the USB ports and somewhere along the line they (The MacBook Air & Arduino) both died. I assume...

Hi folks. This morning I woke up 2 hours late for my work only to realize that my iPhone 6 is not turning on. I can't get to the apple logo, can't hard-restart it, can't get any response from charging nor plugging it in to my PC/iTunes. It worked fine when I watched a video before I went to bed...

My 2013 rMBP wouldn't boot, so I'm trying to fresh install. I made a bootable USB with a separate disk, and before install I'm trying to erase and partition my internal drive for the new OS. I get to the screen where I get to choose whether to install the OS or use Disk Utility. I choose Disk...

Hi, About 7 months ago, i bought a 3gb 'Sapphire radeon HD 7950' that had been flashed for mac to replace the Radeon HD 2600 (256mb). It was all working properly until one day i booted it up and it booted to a glitched orange screen with lines on. i waited 3 mins and it didn't do anything. I...

I did the dumb idea of trying to fix my own iPhone 6 Plus. I believe I messed up the little connections where the screen plug into the phone. I don't know if that's the main problem but my iPhone is now completely dead and won't turn on. I really want to get my pics and data off of it. Are there...

Hello Forum I am the happy owner of a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) About half a year ago i spilled a cup of hot chocolate all over the macbook and right into the keyboard (yes, a terrible mistake....) I managed to "save" it though, let it dry and turned it on after a couple of...

Hello. How good is this MacBook for studies, surfing the web, listening to music and maybe editing a video or two? (Low quality videos). Specs down below. I really want the MacBook to last a few years. MacBook Pro Retina, 2013. 8 GB Ram Intel Grapichs 4000 and Nvdia GeForce 650m Intel Core...
