repair

It's late in 2024 and I'm still using my iPhone 7 Plus that I bought in 2017. Should I upgrade? Other than possibly better cellular connectivity - I haven't had any reason to upgrade. Considering these phones cost over $1000 (more like $1600 for the storage I'd use) - I would want the...

I’m working on an A2179 2020 MBA. My old friend spilled something in the topcase and right-side keys weren’t working. Everything else was working fine when I took possession. I did the repair once with a case/battery combination unit. When I powered on, the fan went full speed and the CPU was...

Hi, I have noticed my charger getting hot recently (should have removed it at this point i know) and now my mac book wont charge. After checking the pins one on my magsafe charger and macbook two of the mare damaged. What can i do from this point to repair my macbook?

(I'm not a computer expert) I broke the display screen of my MacBook Pro 2015 15inch a1398 . I'm not sure if the pixels are broken or the screen as well, but I think both since it fell. This model is the most powerful version both in terms of graphics and storage. I don't know if it makes sense...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any rules about offering commercial services on MacRumors? I would like to offer a commercial MacPro firmware reconstruction service, ala tsialex. Because this would be competition for him, I don't want to cause any problems, does he have a special...

This laptop fell out of a car. Not really sure to what extent it was ran over, but it does have a large indent on the bottom side. With this being an M1 Late 2020 Macbook Pro, I cannot simply remove the drive to retrieve data. The logic board has a slight bend, particularly where the heat pipe...

Hi All, I just replaced the NVME in my iMac, but now when I turn it on absolutely nothing seems to happen. No fan noise, no hdd noise, etc. I don't think I broke the power button, but I tried connecting the pins in the power button connector together to see if that helped. No dice. Any idea...

Hello , today my iPhone X suddenly started overheating just below the rear camera and i was seeing the temperature warning.This would happen as long as the phone was turned on. I tried turning it off for some time to cool-down but when i was turning it on again same thing happened. What I...

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm posting here. I brought my wife's 2019 Macbook Pro in for a battery replacement and mentioned that the trackpad doesn't "click" anymore, but still works otherwise. It's as if the "force touch" setting is turned off in system preferences but otherwise...

Hi! I renewed the thermal paste and didn't realize the heatsink was mounted with a single fifth screw on the fan side that is very difficult to even reach. I removed the four screws on the CPU side, left the fan attached and carefully bent up the heatsink to remove the thermal paste. In the...

My APM are starting to show their age with quite abysmal battery life, granted they are about 3 years old. Since they are out of warranty, I know that I can request an out of warranty battery replacement. Does anyone have experience with the process? I was curious if it is an actual repair...

I've scoured all the usual sources online, and can't find a schematic for this A1407 (27" Thunderbolt display). it has the Lite-On power supply (not the Flex-whatever-it-was). Board PN is 614-0505 / PA-3251-31 There's no bulged caps, fuse is OK (pretty sure there's just the one?!), bridge is...

after pulling my G3 to bits and harvesting the analogue board from it I can't visually see anything that has failed. according to someone on YouTube they state if the Flyback is dead it could put a short on the horizontal transistor/circuitry and pull down the power rail, however when I...

Hello! First post here. I wanted to upgrade my 7th gen (or maybe it's a 6th gen?) ipod with an iFlash MicdoSD card adapter and a new battery. After watching hours of YouTube videos and buying some spludgers and pry-tools, I did my best but the photos below will show what happened. First off, an...

Hi - we have a 2021 5th generation iPad Pro 12" and when we went to use it this weekend the screen wouldn't respond to touch. We can operate the iPad perfectly fine from a keyboard but no touch. We tried hardware reset, running a full recovery and even updating to the latest iOS 17 with no luck...

Thing still works tho.

I got an out of the blue crack in my LCD screen on my Macbook Air M1 A2337, so I replaced the display assembly with a pulled original one from ebay and lost True Tone. Now I have the original display assembly with a broken LCD screen that I want to repair, therefore I'm looking for advice on...

Bought this ipad air 4 for very cheap. Initially, all it had was a cracked screen. Touch functions, speakers, etc all worked fine. I've done a few screen replacements before, mostly on generations that still had the home button. I followed this guide: Screen came off as easily as the video...

The dent is on the lower right screen part of the mac! What should I do? Is this covered by apple? I believe it happened during shipping. Which would be their fault for not packing it correctly, right? Or the repairman accidentally applied too much force but hoped I wouldn't notice. It seems...

Posting here to seek advice, see if anyone else has this issue, and what could be possible root causes of this. MacBook Pro M1 13" 2020: model A2338 The reliability of my USB-C/Charging port has been continuously reducing for some time. External SSDs would not always be detected, charging was...
