My Problem

Hard drive upgrade.

My Fix

It went extremely well due to MJ's step by step tutorial.

Thanks.

My Advice

Follow the step by step video tutorial and a little bit of common sense.If anyone can do it,then you can also do it.

My Problem

The graficchip looks like defect. But its mounted on the Logicboard. So first tried to backe the board (may the Chip could have some contact problems.) But didn't fix the Problem. So the board was to expencive to replace, so i get th HD away from the MacBook to backup the userdate via USB-SATA-Bridge to a iMac

My Fix

The Magnetizer/Demagnetizer "glues" the very smal screws at the screwdriver, the Spungers helped me to open the Cover an disconnect the cables, the Arctic Silver Thermal Past was used to remont the locigboard

My Advice

Look very carfully for the place of every screws at the MacBook - also some inside - to open the cover. See at the other Advice to replace the Board

My Problem

My six and a half year old iMac G5 wouldn't turn on.

My Fix

I'm not much a fixer with regards to computers. I know how to add RAM, but that's about it.

Changing the power supply was not as hard as I thought it would be.

My Advice

In MJ's video I thought the hard and easy parts were the opposite of her view. Unplugging the cable wasn't that hard, but getting the power supply out was. Also, she didn't mention anything about the ambient light cable. Putting the new power supply in was pretty easy.

To her credit, I would never have tried to fix it if I hadn't seen her video. Maybe it's a good idea she made it look a little easier than it was because if it looked really hard I probably never would have tried.

Although I have a newer iMac, it seemed a shame to throw out the G5 if there was any way to fix it. I had called several computer repair stores in Atlanta and they all said don't bother. It's too expensive. I feel pretty proud I was able to do it myself.

My Problem

The power supply on an old iMac G5 20" of mine failed. Computer can't work without that!

My Fix

A quick trip to iFixit identified the part within a couple of minutes, as well as the necessary tools. A few days later of shipping time, and everything arrived. I downloaded the iFixit app onto my iPhone to walk through the repair, but it was hardly necessary. New power supply installed and computer working happily 15 minutes later. Thanks!

My Advice

Great process. Thanks for helping.

My Problem

We repair all the laptops for our campus laptop program. We use the splungers to open the cases of our Asus 1005pr netbooks in order to replace LCD screens.

My Fix

great :)

My Advice

With any repair it is important that you know what your doing. Take apart your own machine before you repair another persons. :)

My Problem

cracked iPod touch 4th generartion badly damaged screen

My Fix

perfect

My Advice

Watch out for the tiny ribbon cable that controls the external volume and power off switch. It can rip very easily. It is located under the metal shield above the three tiny screws that hold the shield in place. When removing the shield, you do not need to pry all the way under the shield, just under the thin shield itself in the corner. You will see that there is another part under this shield which does not need to be pried up, or else you'll rip the cable. If you do, the iPod wont turn off by the switch and you will not be able to control the volume by the buttons, but it still works with the internal volume slider on the screen.

My Problem

Power supply failure in iMac G5 20" 2Ghz.

My Fix

Still awaiting the receipt of replacement power supply

My Advice

check your tool boxes to make sure you do not already own a spudger.....

My Problem

Windex sprayed into earpiece hole, could not hear caller.

My Fix

Except for what I believe was a sub-quality part from eBay - it went OK, with the help of iFixit.

Replaced speaker and got it all reassembled ok, but now the sound sounds like it is going into the phone and not out through the earhole. Bad part?

My Advice

This is the second time I've had problems with sub-quality parts.

It is a lot of trouble to repair an iPhone - buy good parts!

I have a few questions that would help other future users.

Question 1: I have the rubber piece on the edge of the logic board, is this right? (pretty sure)

Question 2: does the thicker piece go at the top or bottom. (top) to protect cable?

Question 3: Does it matter which way contacts point open at top or open at bottom, pretty sure I got it back in there how it came out with contacts open ended at the top. Could not tell from website.

My Problem

Long story short: my second-hand 2.0GHz CD 15" MBP needed TLC, from its slowly dying optical drive, to is overheating logic board. I also wanted to see how easy [or hard] it was to completely disassemble and reassemble my machine, esp. since I have had experience doing so with Windows laptops.

My Fix

The entire process, thanks in large part to iFixit guides, was seamless. I was rather stunned at how easy it was to get to the logic board, reapply thermal paste, and put everything back together again, not to mention outfit the SuperDrive bay with a new HDD.

My Advice

Just make sure you have a lot of time and patience when doing such repairs and upgrades; ANYTHING can happen.

My Problem
