    Ancient (2008) Macbook Pro 17" Making Funny Noise

    My Macbook Pro is making unusual noise that is either associated with a fan or the hard drive. Is there a way to pinpoint which is the problem without taking it apart? Since I am a starving artist and am going to try to do repairs myself, I would like to have parts purchased prior to cracking...

    Apple Watch Repair

    I just filled out a repair request form online for my Apple Watch. (Sounds like the Taptic Engine is going and no resets or fresh set ups would fix it). Any idea what to expect as far as time without my watch? Any experience? Also I'm hoping they replace it because it's so audible that people...

    DIY repair gone bad, on my Imac(2013)

    I was having problems, with a very slow hard drive. I looked up the prices to get replacement done, for a very standard 500 GB hard drive, with work included, it was 265. That was the cheapest option. So then I look at price for the original hard drive that I had on my Imac already, it was 50...

    Hey everyone, so a little backstory on the laptop before I explain the problem. A couple of months ago, I took it to Micro Center to get it fixed. They concluded that the logic board had to be replaced and maybe the top case. The repair was almost $1,000 so I just bought a new laptop. It has...
