So from Apple's video it says that the glass is now laminated to the display- does this mean that glass won't be replaceable?

Hi everyone- It would appear that after a long time of just answering questions it's my turn to ask a question. Well so I've ...

Follow rdklinc's advice and get an enclosure, after that though, you can try a couple of things. For one, DiskWarrior is what I always try first to rebuild bad directories, it rarely fails unless there's serious damage. If neither DiskUtility nor DiskWarrior are able to repair the drive, you have two options. First, you can use software to attempt to recover files from the drive. In my experience I have used Data Rescue and yielded great results, salvaging several GBs of data, that said, there's a chance that you can return nothing. However, these are your most economical options, and it's always good to have copies of both programs (DiskWarrior is especially useful IMHO, especially when traveling). However, if none of these work, you can always pay for very expensive physical salvaging of the files by a company such as Drive Savers. It's generally very expensive, however you can get a lot of files recovered often.

You can probably take it to your dealer and they'll do it for free. Most high-end cars (even some lower end too) such as Mercedes and BMW specifically say that when an upgrade to the navigation software comes out, you can go to the dealer to get the upgrade, often for free or the cost of the DVD.

Yes, you'll need this guide to install it, however finding the display itself may be a little tricky, since it's only found on custom build-to-order MBPs, it doesn't appear to exist in an aftermarket.

Please specify what model MacBook you have- since the problem is neither the battery nor the charger, the problem is the magsafe board (the DC in component) and that needs to be replaced, if you reply with your model number I'll direct you to the necessary part.

It's very strange, all the model number searches return no results, must be a very custom job. It's possible if iFixit looked under the label or otherwise (safely) took it apart they could find further markings. I had some Chinese friends look at the characters, and it's the exact same as the English, so no hidden numbers or signatures there. I'd say not Samsung since it's Chinese, and by the same logic not LG (neither has manufacturing centers in China), so I'd look at Foxconn (known to manufacture kindle parts, manufactures most computer parts in the world) or maybe Quanta (Taiwanese company known to have worked with previous kindles, has a lot of Amazon/RIM overlap dating back to the original kindle, in light of the similar hardware between playbook and this, I think it's likely [speaking of which, iFixit should teardown a playbook, would be an interesting comparison]). It's worth noting the labels all say "China" not necessarily PRC or ROC, so we can't rule out Taiwan. edit: looks like there is a playbook...

No the product page says it will not work (neither the GSM nor CDMA versions.

Yes.

I think you have the right idea, try opening it up and see if anything's visibly wrong, it's quite possible the ram is unseated. However I do think it chimes or something when that happens, but volume could be a different issue. Also check that the hard disk is connected properly.

While There's some good advice for building your own rig going on between oldturkey and mayer, if you're just doing a few, it's cheaper to just pay for them to be done as opposed to building an expensive and quality-variable setup. In the US there are a bunch of services which do it for a fairly small fee, however they mostly send it out to india to get it done cheaply and ship/upload it back. Since you're in india you can probably find locally some shops who will do it for at most a few thousand rupees.

Changing the RAM on this machine is perhaps the simplest repair you will ever do- don't worry at all. The ram is in those two slots you can see in the guide pictures, you won't run into any problems "forcing" the lever, it's very straightforward and all comes out easily.

I'll be very interested to see what modders can do. Maybe with asimple hack or accessory it'll be a world phone

Isn't the term "iOS" not "iPhone OS"

I want the Apple shaped hole. With the bite!

I wish this was shaped like the logo

Quote from luwoze:

The author was ambiguous - if your unit of measurement is in 'bits', it should be the same unit throughout the text (and it's equivalent in 'Bytes' given in parenthesizes).

Well know, because different things are measured in different units.

Quote from Kyle Wiens:

The exact quote in the article is "The proximity of the chips suggests that Samsung also manufactured the A4 for Apple." I think that's a fair assessment. Hopefully we'll find out tomorrow for sure.

Ah, ok, I was misremembering the article then. Thanks for the clear up.

Hey, you might want to let WSJ know about this, I read an article in which Kyle Wiens gave an interview about the A4 and I remember it clearly stating that samsung made/designed the A4. May want to correct them on that.

Looks like it's official, the iPad IS just a giant iPod Touch. Nothing special here, move on.

But nice work on this teardown, was cool to look at how these "micro-teardowns" are done.
