My Problem

After charging overnight my battery would go to red line in a few hours.

My Fix

The repair went very smoothly. The hardest part was getting the ipod apart. The 7 Philips screws were difficult. Of the 7, 5 came out ok, but 2 had head damaged by the time I was done.... but there was enough left to reassemble though, so all worked out well.

My Advice

One important piece of advice. The ifixit instructions list a #00 Philips screwdriver under tools however I needed a #0000 Philips to get the screws out.

My Problem

Had to separate the glass from the case to make the proper electrical contacts for the inductive coil.

My Fix

Using a metal spudger was probably overkill. I made a few small scratches around the curves with it.

My Advice

Take your time and don't force the spudger too hard. Be careful around the curves.

My Problem

I broke the glass on my Ipod Touch 4 Gen

My Fix

The repair was very difficult

My Advice

I watched the ifixit video which helped, but not very much

My Problem

Unlocked Iphone 1st Gen. battery kept dying.

The battery would go from 100 to 50 to dead in a 5 min. phone call.

My Fix

It took 15 minute to change it out. Super easy. The phone is working like a charm now. full charge. the battery never dies. like a brand new phone!

My Advice

Don't be intimidated by the reviews. It's very simple process. does't take 45 min! and it can save you a lot of money of replacing your phone. fix it, don't buy another!

My Problem

A customer dropped her 3GS and didn't want to pat AT&T $200.

My Fix

It was easy, I got the whole front assembly for her because I didn't want to have to transfer the home button and speaker over.

My Advice

Just take your time

My Problem

I got a business and decided to start repair iphone... saw your excellent guides and wanted the same tools as you used.

My Fix

FINE! Two Iphones fixed! (Broken screen)

My Advice

Maybe an updated screw-pdf, I missed one "circle" for a screw.

My Problem

My mac would not turn on. I checked the power cord and outlet and they were all fine. The Apple store said that since it was five years old that it was a "vintage" and they wouldn't be able to help me in any way.

My Fix

I found this sight and ordered a new power supply to put in it. The step by step photos and instructions were great! It just took a little bit of time, but I now have my mac back and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

My Advice

I would order the torex screwdriver if you don't have one. I have a set, but they were all too big. I then had to go on a hunt to find the T6. Lowes smallest one was a T7. (So close, but not small enough.) When I did find it, I paid more for it at the store than I would have if I just bought it from here.

My Problem

Iphone full color conversion to Pink

My Fix

Very well loved my metal spudger. it made separating surfaces easy. My 54 bit driver set made the job go faster.

My Advice

Buy tools from iFixit

My Problem

Battery replacement in Gen2 iPod Mini 6gig

My Fix

Velly Velly Smooooth... confidence is now such that a "Frankenstein" event is planned; itty bitty hard drive replacement with FLASH! memory = longer battery life + 5x[+] increase in storage... FrankenPod is coming...

My Advice

Metal and Plastic Spudger work very well for poking, provoking and assisting little tiny delicate[ish] parts into the one special little place they MUST live for most electronic [and seemingly ALL iPod] repairs

My Problem

Hard disk was receiving predictive failures. Had to remove a SD Card from the SuperDrive that my kids crammed in there.

My Fix

Opening up the iMac was a lot less stressful than I anticipated. Was prepared with the right tools.

My Advice

If you replace the hard disk with a non-Apple hard disk, make sure you short the jumpers for the heat sensor plugged into the original drive (just connect a wire to the end of each jumper lead and seal it off with electrical tape) or the system fans will get very loud. Wash your hands before removing the screen cover and the screen. Keep a microfiber cloth and cleaner handy. You will get them full of fingerprints.
