Chosen Solution Hello! If you are in need of changing screen on Samsung S10. Will the integrated fingerprint scanner still work? Or does a original replacement screen got the scanner already installed on the new screen? Thank you. Hi MrSir The S10 screen with frame assembly will have the finger print reader pre-installed. This will be compatible with your board so long as the part is of original quality. I would recommend getting an original Samsung replacement part if possible....

Chosen Solution My phone ran out of battery and I put it to charge, after charging I turned on the phone… The phone shows Samsung, then the model and shuts off by itself and goes on a loop of turning off and on. I thought it might be the battery so I bought one… Same thing happens when I installed the new battery, then if thought it might be that the phone doesn’t charge so I bought a battery charger to proof that theory....

Chosen Solution The sd slot cannot open. I have not used it since purchasing the device. Hi, Presumably when you push in the pin to release the tray, nothing happens, is this correct? See video on how to insert SIM and micro SD Card

Chosen Solution Hi, My DP PWR smd connector is broken on the board. I would like to order a new one but I can’t find the supplier or the part number for this 6 pins smd connector. Anyone has already identified this smd connector ? Thanks for your help Laurent Update (08/21/2017) Hi, thanks for your reply. I posted 3 images. A global one to locate the display power connector, a 2nd to see the connector itself and a 3rd to have a look at identical connectors but with different pin counts....

Chosen Solution I have an iPhone 4s that has been water damaged. The only issue is that it will not use the battery at all. While plugged in it turns on and shows 100%, it immediately shuts off when unplugged. Everything else works. I have disassembled the phone and cleaned all visible corrosion on the main board and flex connectors (there was very little corrosion near the power management unit, aka PMU)....

Chosen Solution My iMac EMC2638 2.7Ghz 21.5" has a standard HDD fitted and I want to replace3 it with a 2.5" SSD drive, is this just a case of swapping over or does it need anything to stop fan speeding up as not getting temp? And what is the maximum amount of RAM my machine can have fitted? Many thanks for help. To start with this system is not easy to open and getting to the RAM is a bear!...

Chosen Solution Good evening Gents and Laddies I have recently done a upgrade on my Asus Strix G731G laptop with an SSD. I have only opened the laptop (last I upgrade the RAM). I disconnected the battery pack before any work being done and completed the installation. after the installation and everything closed the laptop does not want to start nor want to charge if I plug in the charger. would one of you know what the problem might be?...

Chosen Solution I am considering buying a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15", Mid 2015) however am wondering if I can upgrade the current 250gb hd to a 500gb SSD that I have on my current Macbook Pro 13". The mid-2015 Retina MacBook Pro comes only with “PCIe-based flash storage” (a quasi-proprietary card with flash chips soldered onto it, rather than a 2.5-inch form-factor device). Apple offers no HD-based models. So it appears your question is whether you can replace the 256 Gbyte flash card with a 512 Gbyte card....

Chosen Solution Hi: I have the issue of the title after I installed a new battery on my iPhone. Only the area with the lines or rectangles is unresponsive or with strange behaviors on the touch. Any suggestions? Ok. So, you’ve either damaged the digitizer connector socket, or you’ve got a bad part. Replace the old part to rule out the part being an issue. While you’re in there, check the socket for damage...

Chosen Solution Due to frivolous use of the soundDock the cable and port that power the device have become warn. The connection between the two is only maintained through careful taping and the occasional ‘jimmy’ (slightly moving the cord). the attached image bosePowerConnect shows the power cord side. i probably will buy a new power cord if there is a way to fix the port as shown in image bosePowerConnect1. How can i fix this port ?...

Chosen Solution stuck saying emergency mode connect to kies .when connected to kies will not down load stock firmware. Let’s hope some of this information is helpful: Causes of stuck in emergency mode: No service (Can be caused by IMEI missing, generic IMEI, sim card not reading properly (usually the sim card reader physically damaged). Solution for IMEI missing: Rewrite imei on phone, this is needed for generic IMEI (0049xxxxxxxxxxx)too (using tool such as Z3X box) Reflash firmware on phone (Using ODIN [Avoid losing data on just flash], Samsung Kies / Smart Switch [Will wipe user data on flash]) Sim card not being read: Re-align pins Resolder broken off pins Replace sim card slot....

Chosen Solution My LCD has become damaged and is showing purple across the entire screen. My question is, if I were to purchase a phone with a bad ESN, would I be able to put my internals into that phone and have it function normally? What chips would need to be swapped and where is the ESN located inside the phone? A new OEM LCD is about 200 dollars. A phone with a bad ESN is only 40-80 on ebay and is the most economical choice for me....

Chosen Solution Hello. Just replaced thermal compound on 2015 macbook pro. Upon restart the fans slowly ramp up to full and the computer runs slow. Also diagnostics is saying SMC issue. with code PFM006. I’m trying to identify the temp sensors. are they the round spongy things to either side of the CPU and graphics chip? Update (05/12/2022) Hi Dan. I already own iStat Menu and can give you a screen shot from that....

Chosen Solution Hi there, a couple of weeks ago I’ve purchased a battery for my Mac from iFixit EU store (Order No. 355170). Installed and checked it, everything seems to work just fine, but after few days I’ve realized a strange behavior. The battery goes down from 100% to 40-30% as expected then it suddenly jump to 7-6%. But even stranger, the Mac keep working for at least another 30-40 min while the battery keep showing 6%....

Chosen Solution Hello, I’ve recently replaced a full screen assembly using your screen repair kit and had an issue I need help with. Originally for a week or two the phone functioned perfectly however with the IOS 11 update it became completely unresponsive to touch. Now this is not the issue since a hard reset (power/home hold) fixed this issue. However shortly after and maybe unrelated but the top left area of the screen normally used to go back became unresponsive almost completely....

Chosen Solution Hi, I purchased this upgrade OWC Aura Pro x2 SSD because I no longer have space on my computer to backup files. If I install the new SSD will I loose all data saved on my computer? While I agree this is a nice SSD and having upto 2 TB can be very useful on this system are you sure thats the best direction? One does not use the internal drive for back-ups!...

Chosen Solution So I only found the guide for removing the metal rear camera lens ring on the 6S, is it the exact same procedure on the iPhone 6? Since i remember that on some of the older iPhones the ring is like welded in four different spots and can be very tricky to get off, don’t know if thats how it is on the iPhone 6 though? So if anybody knows how it is on the iPhone 6 I would appreciate an answer....

Chosen Solution I replaced the DLP chip. Turned on tv and nothing. The tv tries to come on but just black screen and red blink light. Then nothing. So, we replaced the bulb. and still nothing. Could it be that ribbon cable to the color wheel? I rechecked all the cables and everything is hooked up. Yes, I fixed it. It was the chip. Make sure you set it just right into the holder....
