Chosen Solution I want to buy a MacBook Pro 13 retina screen but I did get what (late 2016, mid 2015 … ets ) means , and how I know the one that is suitable for my laptop Parts for the newer MacBook Pro models are still hard to come by as most repairs are still under warranty. I would still visit an Apple Store to get an estimate of the cost before doing it your self....
Chosen Solution Hi! Whenever i lock my screen, it wont register touch. Screen is normal but i cant do anything. As soon as i restart the phone the screen works, until i lock it again.. why is this? Can it have something to do with me not reinstalling the fingerprint sensor on the back? This may or may not have to do with the fingerprint sensor but it may have to do with some type ribbon that is connecting to your phone that has not been re-connected....
Chosen Solution My boyfriend’s iPhone is pretty old and pretty well-worn. We were in a sauna when his phone started really glitching out.. The flashlight wouldn’t turn off at first, the flashlight button on the screen went grey, as if there was no flashlight connected or something. Then the screen went black after a few minutes of us trying to fix that and it’s been that way for the entire night....
Chosen Solution The “Service Battery” message is still be given in the battery drop-down menu after I replaced the battery with the iFixit kit. It seems like it was a successful installation other than that. RESET SMC How to Reset the SMC on MacBooks I also replaced the battery with the iFixit kit. The SMC reset didn’t help, I still get the message: “Service Recommended”. Is it a fault with the battery delivered with the ifixit kit?...
Chosen Solution My original hard drive crashed. I have a backup on a Seagate external hard drive. I installed a new Crucial SSD and am having trouble formatting the new SSD with the operating system. Internet recovery has not helped. How can I format the new SSD without the old hard drive? It maybe the real problem is the HD SATA cable is worn here Vs a bad HDD. All of the 13" Unibody MacBook Pro system’s have a problem with the cable abrading against the uppercase....
Chosen Solution We recently moved home and now have a new wifi network. I can’t get my epson L355 printer to connect to it. The orange wifi light is flashing.

Chosen Solution my side scroll wheel works only one way no mater which way it turns , problem appeared after performing cleaning with compressed air Yeah, not a good idea to use an air duster on delicate parts. You’re going to have to open the mouse and see what’s up. You should probably buy new mouse skates before you open the mouse, as there’s a high likelihood that you’ll damage them taking them off to get at the screws....
Chosen Solution Silent button is not working, but if i press and put pressure around the top speaker (probably where the silent connector is inside the phone) it works, if i let go it wont work. is it a bad silent connector, could the battery be expanding inside (no real signs that the case is opening at this moment) . The first thing to try is a simple restart. In most cases, a restart will fix the problem and the iPhone silent button will start working again....

Chosen Solution Clothes are still soapy after washing cycle has finished. I have cleaned the machine, used white vinegar to get rid of soap suds, the machine runs clear on an empty cycle. I have changed washing liquid and using only a small amount. The machine is draining, the pump isn’t making any weird noises, I’ve checked the filter, checked for blockages in pipes and water is running through. What else can I try?...
Chosen Solution No matter what I try, it comes out if the SIM card is not inserted. iPhone has been updated, of course There is one line that needs to be checked “BB_SIM1_DETECT_E” That is the circuit that tells the phone that there is a sim inserted. If you haven’t got the proper measuring equipment and access to board view files you might have to send or take it to a reputable repairer....
Chosen Solution My newest A1181 Macbook still has a display issue after replacing the inverter cable. Before replacing the cable, the computer turned on, but the display flashed quickly (less than a second) and went black. I also got a solid white power light, rather than it turning off after the display comes on like it normally would. I did, however, hear the usual startup chime. What led me to replace the inverter cable was checking the display with a flashlight and seeing the flashing folder....
Chosen Solution My late 2012 Mac mini came with the hard drive installed in the upper bay (the one that is on the ‘bottom’ when the mini is upside down).

Chosen Solution After replacing a IPHONE 6 Screen the home button doesn’t seem to be working. Typically the phone will tell you when the touch id has failed to reactivate meaning either you have damaged the sensor or it isn’t seated properly. The phone booted up with no error. I proceeded with logging in with pass-code then locking then trying touch id nothing. After seeing this I went to settings to test apple id touch it allowed me to act like I was going to setup a new finger print but would not allow touch....
Chosen Solution Replaced antennae twice and it goes out after about 15 minutes. Does anyone know why? Thank you in advance What goes out after 15 minutes? You need to be more specific. Also what does it say under Settings > General > About > Network (Hopefully Sim not provisioned or Phone not allowed.) Also there’s plenty of Antenna ribbon flex cables inside the phone. Which one? The L shaped one is for 2....
Chosen Solution http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-s… I am helping a friend out with a phone they dropped in water Here is the story, first, they put it in white rice to get the moisture out of the phone, all fine and dandy EXCEPT the phone will have a definite lifespan now because they never removed the corrosion, I told them the phone needs to come apart and they do not feel comfortable Next, the screen had water in it They plugged it in and the charger got hot, so they unplugged it and I think the screen will dry out, however, it could kill the backlight(backlight VERY unlikely) They also told me the contract is ending soon I think this thing is going to be a money pit with thier mistakes because if they give it to me to fix, this looks like a money pit First, parts could of blown by charging it because my gut says the water potentally blew parts in it Next, the screen may not work right much longer because the water was ABSORBED into the screen Any thoughts?...
Chosen Solution While using my laptop it continues to shut down mid use. Why is this happening? The most likely reason for your laptop to shut down mid-use is that the cooling fan has built up debris in it, causing it to be unable to cool the device. This makes your laptop overheat and turn off. I would recommend using canned air to blow out the vents leading to the fan....
Chosen Solution Greetings! First post here. Recently, while in the dark, I noticed that my flashlight (camera flash) on my iPhone 5S was no longer working when activated from the control center. I then began to debug it by rebooting, resetting and then finally by upgrading from iOS8 to iOS9. None of these fixed my problems but during the investigation, I noticed that the rear camera was no longer working as well....
