Chosen Solution I’ve just replaced a screen and digitiser on an iPod nano 7th Gen and was retrofitting the screws to ensure it was all good. I noticed a slightly small gap all either side of the digitiser. My only thoughts are to either glue it to seal or use the 3m tape all around. Any else experienced this? or have a solution? Definitely don’t use glue to seal it. Can you post some pictures to see what we’re dealing with?...
Chosen Solution When my ex-boyfriend and I were together he somehow managed to gain access to my phone long enough to put a secure folder onto it. I can’t get into the folder because it is password protected. When I asked about it we were still together and he just denied doing it. Several days later we split up and I sent a reset password code to his email and asked for him to send me the code but he just ignored my request....

Chosen Solution I saw a listing for an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB on eBay in my country (which is the Philippines). The device looks mint and it’s only selling for around $130. However the deal-breaker start with the seller, which is a very new account, only made on May 25, 2021 (as of writing it is May 30) and only has one 5-star rating as a seller. However, the seller accepts PayPal as payment which is the dealmaker for me, as I am aware of PayPal’s Buyer Protection policy which would help me ask for a refund if in case I don’t receive the device and the seller is indeed a scammer....
Chosen Solution Hey guys! I’m working on reviving an iMac G5 17" Model A1144 and I’ve come across some roadblocks. The primary issue is that recently during normal use it randomly powered off a few times and then stopped being able to be powered on entirely. I know it’s old, but I’ve seen Macs last well beyond this! So far, I’ve replaced the power inlet, the power supply, the DC-DC board, and the logic board with no change in symptoms....
Chosen Solution What works: headphones, main speaker for calls, & mute switch What doesn’t work: speaker phone & ringer I have rebooted the phone and nothing. I am getting ready to replace the display assembly and while I am at it I thought I might as well fix the ringer, if possible. Okay, before you go replacing parts you need to figure out what parts are actually causing the fault. By “Main Speaker” i am assuming you mean the “Earpiece Receiver” that you listen through for incoming/outgoing calls?...

Chosen Solution I’m seeking the “deets” about motherboard repair information. Razer doesn’t host any open resources regarding specifics. That will be a great resource for DIYers. And considering the issue may be a fuse, beginners are far too swayed from the stepping stone. If any valid and useful info is out there, please post a reply. Thanks Hi @venheiler Try searching online for the motherboard schematics. Do not use the laptop’s make and model number to do this as mostly motherboards are made to order by specialist board manufacturers and not by the laptop “maker”....
