    iPhone 12: 4 x faults at once, have I got a lemon?

    I've had my iPhone 12 for 2 years from new, and all of a sudden the Face ID, compass, screen lock (when you're on a call) and brightness setting all stopped working at once. This has been confirmed as hardware failures by Apple, but they don't actually specify what's caused the issues, they only...

    Uneven Trackpad depth (16" MBP 2020)

    I might be nitpicking here but the trackpad on my MacBook Pro seems to be slightly raised (about a tenth of a mm) at each of the 4 corners. It's super hard to catch it on camera, but you could definitely feel it if you ran your finger over the corners. Should I be concerned or is this normal...

    Good news everyone...

    I am picking up my 2017 MBP soon after having the T key fall off one to many times, and the sudden failure of all (i.e. both) USB-C ports, plus issues with returning from sleep (it would take minutes for the display to appear). It is about 2 months out of official warranty (that is I got it at...

    SMC Malfunction Unrelated to Logic Board and Battery

    Hello, I have a late 2011 MBP that keeps shutting off randomly. Once it shuts off, it requires me to do an SMC reset to power it back on. Luckily I have another MBP of the same model so I swapped the logic boards to see if that was the problem, it was not. What I know so far: -Not a battery...

    Hey there, I'm helping a friend with his MacBook Air 7,2 13inch. It wasn't booting anymore so they transferred what they needed off and asked me to try to take a look. I booted into recovery mode and wiped the drive with Disk Utilities, then attempted to reinstall the OS. It was having...
