I have a problem.

I just installed a ssd with your kit.

After installing the fan runs full speed.

I tried to restore the initial configuration but the fan always runs full speed.

I made ​​the apple hardware test and I got the following error:

4M0T/1/40000002:EXHAUST-0

On Istat the temperatures are correct but will appear in fans "RPM EXHAUST-0 "

Can you help please

On checking various forums it's symptoms are concurrent with many other users.

I now need to replace it, though would be looking for an alternative, like for instance the 12.7 mm PATA 8x Pioneer SuperDrive........Would this be compatible?

I am obviously looking for a more reliable drive, so any advice would be great..

I did already fixed some Iphones, but this time I have no clue whats wrong. I replaced the powerbutton from an 3GS, the silverbutton was gone...(but still working)...

So I replaced the button like explained in the guide, but the new button does not move up or down, it is just stuck. The guide says the metal handle has to face down, I did all that. I can use the screws again to fix it and all, still the button itself is not moving/working? Anyone got an idea? I guess I simply overlooked something.

While prying the battery out, I must have punctured the battery in some way and a puff of smoke came out with a hiss.

Terrified, knowing how violent lipos can get, I ran outside with the phone and it is still sitting there. I am not sure what to do.

Is there a danger of igniting the battery with further tampering or shifting?

Am I in danger if I continue to pry the battery out with a more blunt tool?

Can I still use the battery?

Thanks for the help!

Then, since it can't charge the battery, is there a way I can charge the battery directly from the AC adapter? Which battery pins would I need to plug both AC adapter's positive and negative to?

Thanks for any help.

My macbook pros battery just died (model number A1321 - 77,5 Wh), so i tried to search similar battery but most of them for this model is only 73Wh.

Finaly i found and bought a same/similar battery with 77,5 Wh, but i accidently missread the model number, its A1382.

Everything looks the same, except the connector, so basicly i cannot use it.

My question is: How can i change the connector itself. I simply cant find any good guide about the 8 cable lines, to check the differences between the 2 battery connection.

To make it more clear here is a picture of the 2 connectors:

I've an iMac 21.5" emc 2308 and last friday my Hitachi 1 tb Hard Disk "died".

I've bought a western digital 1tb green HD, and the ifix guide for the HD replacement, about "thermal sensor" write down: "During reassembly, be sure that the thermal sensor connector is connected to set of pins closest to the SATA connectors". The Hitachi has two pins arranged like this:

but the Western Digital has 8 pins arranged like this:

I've connected the thermal cable to the set of pins closest to the sata connectors ... in this way:

got an Ipod which is not giving any signs at all.

When connected to my Mac nothing happens, same when connected to the power charger. Charging cables have been changed, several other mac's tried as well- no reaction.

Reset didn't work since the Ipod doesnt give any signs of...Display is off, no acustic noise from the HD, nothing!

Could it be that the battery is down and I nead to replace it or do you guys think it is the LB or HD?

how can I figure out if its the battery?

Update

Hi,

I have installed the new battery, and managed to get it running, but... Here is the full story:

I have connected the Ipod with the new battery to the wall plug before putting the cases together again, to see if the battery is working. The display was showing the usual signs (first the apple, then the informationt that the battery is very low and that it will take some time to load and so on... I even managed to have the menue popping up). It wasnt even for a minute loading. So everything seemed to be OK to me before putting the two cases together. So I decided to put the cover back and assemble it. So I did, and nothing was going again when I wanted to continue to charge immediately after!!!

I did rejoined it again, checked the connections (battery ribbon cable and the second one that I have removed according to ur manual) and the result is a empty but some kind of half shining and glimmering display with a peep tone like when a baby cry!!! (I guess the hard drive is trying to pick it up) from within the device when the charging cable is connected.

I have left it charging for some time- no change: the display is half shining, glimmering and you can hear a very low peep noise from the HD I guess. Removing the charger cable: the display gets darker, the peep noise lower, it looks like the battery has picked up some power and slowly becoming empty.

I have tried to wiggle a bit on the battery ribbon cable/ brown connector with the result that the peep noise is quite high when the device/ ribbon cable gets connected again and then the noise start falling down.

This morning I have connected the ribbon cable to the brown connector and for a second a saw the very low battery sign on the display, after that the usual glimmering and empty display...

I guess the new battery is maybe not good or correct or whatever. Could it b the logical board or something else?

Thanks

mAh shouldnt make any difference so far as I know now. have ordered another battery and will let you know what happens.

I insert the only install disk I have which is actually for my MacBook Pro (this could be the problem-I don't have the original one as this is a second hand lap top) and hold down "option" as it starts up and this is the screen that greets me:

What am I doing wrong? Did I need to replace the hard drive? Do I need a different os install disk?

It should also be noted that it's a very old laptop (I think circa 2004) so I have also been wondering if perhaps the dvd drive is faulty or can't read the disk that the os install is on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have an old A1181 that had Lion and more importantly lots of tools installed on it. I bought this computer used w/ Lion installed.

Would it be possible to install that hard drive to the new/used A1278 I have now and not have to reinstall everything including a ridiculous 10.6 upgrade/Lion upgrade? Not to mention all the other tools on there.

Warranty is useless so I've got nothing to lose. I haven't found a "6R8 coil" like repair for the 4th Gen Touch.

If I need to replace an entire board, which one? If there is a component to replace, which one? I have the skills to do the work, just need an idea where to start.

Thanks!

Update

@oldturkey03 Depends on what you mean by the backlight or LCD. I see no backlight at all in this Touch. If I put a flashlight on the screen I can see the icons on the LCD, can navigate through different apps and settings, and verified that the brightness settings are at max with auto brightness both off and on. Any settings here change nothing and seeing what is on the screen is unchanged.

I appreciate any ideas you have. Believe me, you aren't going to hurt my feelings. The IC that you have pointed me to is a good idea, unfortunately the pics point show locations on an iPhone, not the iPod (if it exists).

With nothing to lose, I took the unit apart tonight got out the alcohol and cleaned like a mad man. Got it all back together and no change. Unfortunately I failed to see your post until after I got the unit back together. Had I read up beforehand I could have looked for a similar IC. Too bad it's unmarked.

Again, other ideas are appreciated. I wish there was a way to determine if the LCD/LED sandwich was faulty or a component on a board was bad. I have sent this unit into iRESq and they said it wasn't worth the repair. Had I been smart I would have asked for more details, was it the mainboard or the LCD. I should call them back tomorrow and find out. I'd presume the mainboard.

It's kind of a bummer how little info there is on these units when the iPhones and previous gens of the Touch have tons of info.

Thanks again!

i just bought a MBP 15 which was flooded with Beer. When

I connect the 85W power supply the fans are driving, the

green LED of charging is on and the green small LED in

front of the right side flashes.

The DVD-drive took the recovery disc but after short

starting it stopped fast.

My question is: How can I clean the inside electronics

from beer

WITHOUT DISTURBING MORE OF THE ELECTRONICS?

Is there anybody out in the croud who can give me

a reliable answer?

Just to make it clear. I guess the motherboard is

smoked out so I ordered a new motherboard in Shengzen for about 500 bucks.

Please let me know your experience in recovering a MBP or equivalent from beer flooding (no joke at all)

I just recently upgraded my Ipod video(5.5) to a 240gb toshiba hard drive. After much much time troubleshooting this issues (motherboard compatibility, f-disk/diagnostic on the hard drive, and format/reboots) I have discovered the my ipod will not regularly turn on??? I always have to hold the center and menu button for for the ipod to boot. My music an language setting will still be available but I can't regularly turn on/off. The Hold switch does function but the ipod still has to be booted every time. Or after say 30+minutes of OFF/in-active use.

Any ideas?

Also I did discover how to unlock the old 80gb mac hard drive. But sadly it will only work with unix/linux red hat. Mac can recognize it but will not be able to mount the full drive. (just the tiny partition it can see :-)

Please please please this is a great community and I know you guys have the answer!

Oddly enough when I remove the back glass of the iPhone and blow or talk into the lower part (from the rear) of the phone near the mic, the other person hears it, but very "far away".

Does it have anything to do with the little rubber piece I had to move from one connector to the other?
