Chosen Solution How can I obtain a repair manual for a Craftsman Riding Mower? Leon, download the manual from here. It has the user manual as well as the tractor repair manual in the back. If you are looking for something more specific, let us know. Any engine repair etc, will require the service manual from the engine manufacturer, i.e. B&S etc. Hope this helps, good luck.

Chosen Solution Hi, The hard drive on my macbook has completely died. I have removed it, and my techie buddy says that it is toast. I can’t find my leopard install dvd. If i buy a hardrive from you, will it be possible for me to even reinstall the OS? You can’t install what you don’t have. Get a system disk from your buddy. If you bring it to the Apple store, and tell them you replaced the HDD yourself and ask them nicely, they will most likely install a generic operation system for you....

Chosen Solution Basically in my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac I am planning on replacing the SuperDrive with an SSD (for obvious reasons). However, I would still like to keep the SuperDrive and use it. Is there an external enclosure that I can purchase and put the drive in so I can use it externally? Thanks! Of course - however you need the specs (model number and physical size/port) of your drive to find the right one....

Chosen Solution Hey - I’m looking at replacing the 1TB HD in my EMC2638/A1418 iMac (i7) with a faster SSD. I have openend up loads of iMacs for various reasons so I know how hard it is and how careful you need to be. I have recently replaced the HDs in a few Mac Book Pros and I used Hynix SL300/SL308 500GB for this and they have been great. I plan to put the same drive into the iMac however I am unsure if I will need a temperature sensor?...

Chosen Solution any ideas on how to reset cluster? Fuel gauge wildly inaccurate and want to eliminate gauge before dropping tank. Those early 2000’s Chevy trucks are notorious for having bad stepper motors in the gauge cluster, I don’t know if your ‘99 would be affected by this but I would start with this repair before replacing the fuel level sender. I’ve seen this problem and performed this repair successfully many times....

Chosen Solution My iPhone 6s is Disabled and need to be connected on iTunes, Can I use iOS 9 for restoring it?, and what are those error 3014 and 3194 means? any fix on this? No, you can’t restore iOs 9. At present Apple signs only 13.2.2 and 13.2.3, that’s all the choice you have for restore. Errors you’re getting should be communication problems with Apple servers for one reason or another, here you can find some Apple support for troubleshooting them: https://support....

Chosen Solution I have a PowerBook G4 Aluminum 17" 1-1.67 GHz and it was working fine. All of the sudden the screen comes on but does not light up.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated....

Chosen Solution Hello to the wonderful ifixit community! I’ve got an iPhone 5 here which has me stumped. Here’s the deal: When I go to voice memo’s app and record, it records correctly and I can play it back through the normal speaker and the earpiece speaker.

Chosen Solution I have a 2011 Macbook into which I have put a SSD in the main hard drive buss and moved the old hard drive to a housing in the optical drive bay. It has worked fine for the better part of three years. Today the computer crashed (I think I had run out of disc space… it had been a while since a reboot and I notice that the drive starts having less and less space available as time goes on - I am guessing some temporary files that never get deleted or something)....

Chosen Solution I have tried the typical power cycle solution where you disconnect power adapter, battery, discharge power, reconnect and power-up. I get nothing. No light indicators, nothing. I then bought a new power adapter and that didn’t help. I then replaced the female power connector that the power adapter plugs into…because it felt loose when plugged in. That also did not help. I just have no power. Period. Any help/ideas is appreciated....

Chosen Solution I recently bought a phone on eBay that had all the usual symptoms of touch disease -screen would be fine then go unresponsive about 5 minutes after use and would only respond after turning off and on - so I watched a few videos that showed using sim cards on the connectors in order help the screen connectors make contact with the logic board better. This worked for a few hours, and then it was back to square 1, but now whenever I try to turn on the flashlight it just flickers once....
