Chosen Solution Hello everybody. I recently got an iphone 5s with a broken screen. I ordered a screen online and replaced it. It worked perfectly well except the proximity sensor that was not switching off when calling. After a quick search online I managed to find the issue and I decided to order a new battery as well as I though mine was not lasting long. I received the battery yesterday and opened the phone again, I replaced the proximity sensor and changed the battery of the iphone....

Chosen Solution Hello, I have two Macbooks sitting in front of me, one of which needs to have the bottom case replaced (A1260). Would the bottom case from the A1150 work?

Anyone have any experience with this?...

Chosen Solution Hi, Got an HP EliteBook 840 G6 with swollen battery. Is it safe to repair on my own? I’ve replaced non-swollen batteries, SSDs, etc before. I have the iFixit 54 Bit Driver Kit. Because I can’t close the laptop lid, it may be harder to open. I’m also worried the battery is so swollen, I won’t be able to get the battery screws out. My plan is to: Discharge the battery to 0% to reduce potential energy if accidentally punctured, per iFixIt video....

Chosen Solution The PSP turns on and works fine but whenever I plug in the usb charger, the system turns off. The usb side doesnt even have to be plugged into anything, once I jack it into the PSP it will turn off. I set it to USB mode but thing works. The battery still charges though. Are you talking about a cable? If the other end is not plugged into a USB port and the thing is shutting off, that would suggest the cable you are using may be bad - as in shorted....

Chosen Solution I have an iFixit Pro Tech toolkit and after awhile, the magnet inside has felt like it isn’t picking up screws with as much strength as it did when I first got it. Is there any way to re-magnetize it? This is what I use to magnetize or demagnetize tools: Magnetizer / Demagnetizer Yes, it’s actually quite easy. Find a magnet (i.e. a speaker inside a PC case). Simply tap the screwdriver tip against the magnet and quickly remove the tip once you tap it....

Chosen Solution my Z3 compact screen became loose on upper!! but more interesting is that upper speaker doesn’t work in playin music!! Are these two problems are related? Yes, those two problems are related. If I’m correct like the normal Z3 model, the top speaker basically sits on top of the logic board on a hole at the top behind the screen. Once the screen pushes up, the top speaker will push up as well causing the contact between the gold connector prongs on the speaker to be not contacting properly to the logic board....

It does not do this when playing music, or when plugged into the computer....
