    2019 MBP not turning on after replacing display

    After replacing my 2019 13-inch MBP display I tested it before putting about four more screws in. I disabled auto boot before I even started this process. I plugged the battery connectors in and then loosely put back the lower case without putting in the screws. It booted up with the power...

    Hi! Guys I'm facing a problem with a late 2013 Macbook Pro. It's a little hard to explain but I'll try. For some reason my Mac when in sleep mode turns off and won't turn on again. Sometimes if I plug in the power cord and click on it will start working again. Also, if you put in the power...

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro that hasn't been used for over a year, that I need to use now because I had to RMA my current laptop. It didn't power on the last time I tried. I just figured the battery was dead from not being used for a while. The charger indicator light would turn on when I...

    iMac G4 - 160 or 180 Watt PSU?

    I just picked up a 17 inch iMac G4 cheap on Craigslist, model number M6498. It doesn't work, and from what I've been seeing, the problem is most likely to be the Power Supply. When the power button is pushed, nothing happens at all, not even the fan spins up. Is this the power supply or could it...

    I have a iMac 2011 27", EMC 2429, 2.7GHz, MC813LL/A, and I'm having problems. First one was the display shutting down randomly, likely due to the common problem with this iMac that Apple did recall here. After days of research, I found the most common fix (after the recall expired) was to...
