  • Answer to: MacBook air 13" Late 2010 Keyboard Replacement

    Although the part numbers are different, for obvious reasons, the Keyboards look identical. Now, although the keyboard/connections look identical the problem can arise after installation due to the logic board and the logic boards firmware. I have never attempted this swap personally, so I would call Apple or wait to see if anyone here has successfully attempted this swap before spending the $$$ on this keyboard.

  • Answer to: My hard drive shows 8gb...what to do?

    These Netbooks sometimes come with A SSD/Pen Drive HD if you will and the capacity is very small. I had the same issue with Windows 7 on a HP netbook. I eventually had to replace the SSD with a regular HD in oder to have more space on the drive. Also, these netbooks sometimes only have 1GB of RAM which will cause issues with Windows installation. Please note that the Atom Processor is these units are limited as far as performance. Even with a HD @ 7200RPM, and upgrade to 2GB of RAM, your machine's performance will be laggy at best. Stick with Windows 7 or lower even with upgrades to HD and RAM.

  • Answer to: Why is one of my memory cards missing?

    It seems to me like either your RAM module has gone bad or the connection to the Logic Board itself might be bad. I would try checking the RAM to make sure it is seated properly. If it is then try swapping the two RAM sticks in different slots to isolate the bad RAM/Slot. Hopefully, it's just the RAM stick which is a pretty inexpensive fix. Try this guide Here. Hope it helps.

  • Answer to: mac mini stuck on white screen

    The flashing question mark means that the mac cannot find a bootable system. When you say that you think you deleted the OS by mistake, what did you actually do? Have you performed any repairs? If so, make sure your SATA connection to the board is in place.

  • Answer to: Can't fix iPod Classic Red X

    If this didn't fix your problem then your HD is bad and needs to be replaced.

  • Answer to: SSD Corruption requiring reinstall of from a backup.

    If your firmware is up-to-date, then this should not be happening. If the SSD is still under warranty, I would return it. Kingston is a reputable vendor, but I would Opt for a different company when it comes to SSDs. Try OCZ/Crucial.

  • Answer to: long MacBook loading problems

    If you mean that the machine is taking long to boot, your problem may be a corrupt directory. If this is the case, I don't know of any freeware or cheap solution to this problem. I use DiskWarrior 4 and it works miracles in situations like this. If you don't have diskwarrior and you have a TimeMachine backup, I would completely wipe the drive with the "zero-out" security option to reallocate bad blocks on the drive and reinstall the system. This should clear things up. I don't work for Diskwarrior or it's parent company Allsoft, but I highly recommend this software to any Mac owner as this software is well worth it's hefty price tag. It's known to bring HDs and SSDs back from the dead.

  • Answer to: Home button doesn't always work.

    This is a known issue with all iPhone models. If you are still under the hardware warranty Apple will replace it no questions asked, I had mine replaced 2 moths ago. If it's a model that's out of warranty then you either have to deal with this problem, or replace the home button.
