Chosen Solution I replaced the LCD and Digitizer on a Ipad Mini 2 (A190). Here is a list of my problems. After replacing both the LCD and digitizer, the ipad was in need of charging. The LCD turns on to display the red battery. Confirms the LCD works. After the boot logo and the ipad charged, the LCD works for a few minutes to display the homescreen, then goes blank. During those few minutes of the LCD working, I tested the digitizer....
Chosen Solution So recently my iPhone 6 fell approximately 8 inches from my knee on a gym floor, and when I picked it up it had blue lines running vertically on the screen, and the lines only seem to appear wherever bright lights on the screen are. Later, a large black bar ran up the right side of my screen that is about an inch thick. I can still tap apps and things behind the black line but I cannot see them....
Chosen Solution Hi I have a 2011 17" A1297 MacBook Pro with Anti-glare screen at the moment. The screen is broken (as the wife calls it Japanese artwork on the screen). I was going to replace the screen, but an potential easier alternative has come up. There is an entire top section (so screen, back shell etc) that belonged to the same model 17"MBP and also hi-res, only difference is it’s a Glossy screen....

Chosen Solution So I’ve had my iPod 5th generation for a couple of years and suddenly the sad iPod icon showed up. I tried doing a lot of research on how to fix the issue, but i’ve had no luck at all. When I put the iPod into disk mode it says “do not disconnect” but it doesn’t show up in iTunes nor Disk Utility. I can hear the hard drive trying to spin inside of the iPod....
Chosen Solution The right side of the screen has gone dim and is unreadable. How can it be repaired. I don’t know this device, but calculators and similar devices with monochrome LCD displays often use the same method for making the connections between the circuit board and the LCD. The LCD is glass so obviously you can’t solder to it. The connections consist of thin, barely visible conducting tracks deposited onto the glass, and these need to be connected to pads on the circuit board, which are laid out in the same pattern (in a row) and the same size....

Chosen Solution Whenever I try to put the SD card into my DSi, it always ejects it. But if I do it on my brother’s DSi, I hear a click and it stays in place. I tried to follow what most guides on YouTube say, but there is nothing in the slot that would cause it problems The tray for it is probably broken then. The part that clicks and grabs it must be damaged....

Chosen Solution My Sony TV, Model KDL-46S2010 does not come on standby light flashes 4 times. What’s my issue? @sancar the 4 blinks indicate a backlight failure. This could be caused by bad inverters. Unplug your set and remove the back cover. Take a look at all of your boards and check for obviously damaged parts like leaking or domed capacitors etc. Post some images of all of your boards including who they all are mounted....
Chosen Solution You lower the arm to tilt the steering wheel. After adjusting the vertical height of the steering wheel, you raise the lever back to the top-most position and the steering wheel locks in place. Recently, I had to change the ignition lock (where you insert the key to start it) and falsely assumed I’d have to remove this arm to lower the whole steering column to get to the lock (i had to drill out some rivets…)....
Chosen Solution Few weeks ago, my 2 year old fridge started making strange revving noises. Freezing still works Ok, but the noise is troubling. It’s not possible to describe the noise with words, but a recording might help: Youtube clip This noise seems to be coming from behind the bottom of upper compartment, above the freezer. It sounds like you have a GE Profile refrigerator with the CustomCool control set for “thawing”....
Chosen Solution Hi all! we have another problem facing us: iphone 7/7+ - if you are so unlucky to break your homebutton or sensor flex, your phone will not boot, it will just stay at the apple logo. You simply cannot just go changing them with aftermarket parts or OEM parts, it must be fully original (not chinese-original), which means 1. much, much harder to get, 2. much, much more expensive....
Chosen Solution I’ve repaired several iPhone 7 Plus devices. About 50% of the time, the phone gets stuck on Apple logo after repair is done. I’ve read a few threads on this issue and there seems to a broad opinion on what may be the issue. I always thought it may be hardware issue but I am ruling that out on this most recent device. Any other thoughts? Common causes of stuck on apple logo or takes like 5 minutes to boot:...
