iPod Touch 4th Generation: Front glass panel replacement.

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:24:10 -0700

My brother dropped his iPod, getting the infamous spider cracks on the front. It seems to still work, because I can partly "Slide to Unlock", but the glass itself is basically ruined, with bits missing and everything.

Basically, I want to know what would be needed to replace the glass. I found a

part on Amazon, but despite owning iDevices for years, I've never had to repair one so I have no idea what I'm actually looking for.

If this will do the job, I'd be over the moon, but the fact that the 4th Gen has a higher resolution screen, and presumably a higher resolution touch sensor thingymajigger, I wasn't sure. Any help would be great!

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009: Dropped my MacBook Pro..is it okay!?

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:14:16 -0700

I was at Starbucks and the wind blew my brand new MacBook Pro off the table (onto concrete) and it dented the left corner of my laptop. Needless to say I freaked out and went into shock for about 15 mins. Anyway, the only thing that happened besides the cosmetic damage was that the internet was disconnected for a second. Other than that, everything is working just fine. The only thing that I am kind of worried about is the battery life. Also, I am worried that since it has a small opening because of the jam (as seen in the pictures) that stuff might get into the computer. It seems to me that it has weakened a little...is it me? or am I just worried too much?

Please calm my nerves or give it to me straight!

Thanks!

iPhone 4: New Display installed/reassembled (twice) Still no power.

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:52:52 -0700

Hello folks. I'm having some issues with my iPhone 4 that I recently purchased some replacement parts for. Here's some background..

My LCD was cracked after a few untimely drops. The phone was still working until one final, fatal drop. The big CLUE I will say is this, about 3-4 days prior to the phone stopping working, the LCD would randomly turn off and would only come back on when the phone was plugged in (car charger/wall charger). This led me to believe it was a battery issue, but when I dropped it one last time, the phone no longer responded to anything.

So, I purchased a few items. I bought a new LCD/Digitizer, new volume button/headphone cable, and a new home button (more issues with that as well). After hours of work, I had reassembled the phone and....No response.

Am I dealing with a battery issue? Could there be another issue?

After assembling, disassembling, re-assembling, I have no noticed anything visually/physically wrong.

Please help. Opinions?
