  • Answer to: nexus one restart interval of 10 mint

    Hi there. It seems to me that your issue is likely to be ROM related. Is your nexus one rooted? If so, are you running a custom ROM such as cyanogenmod?Random reboots are primarily attributed to ROM or kernel problems. Have you installed a custom kernel?
  • Answer to: Why is the screen white and dead?

    Hi Lisa. From what you've described it seems you might need a new Display Assembly. Here's the link to the Display Assembly. Good luck!
  • Answer to: Wet iPhone

    May I recommend a Thirsty Bag? It might be of some use.

  • Answer to: Why Samsung home application has stopped unexpectedly?

    Hi there. In order to give you more precise info we need to know if you're running stock or custom ROM? Otherwise, the general procedure would be to reinstall the Samsung Home application. If that fails, I would recommend wiping (data/factory reset) as it would probably reinstall the app along with any corrupt system files. How to wipe Galaxy Tab: 1) With the device off, press and hold Volume Up and Power. 2) Release the Power button when you see the Samsung logo, but continue to hold Volume Up until the recovery screen appears. 3) Use the Volume buttons to navigate the menu and select wipe data / factory reset. Press Home to choose the selection. 4) Press Volume Up continue. 5) The Galaxy Tab should then go through the hard reset process. Let us know if that helps. Good luck.
  • Answer to: My g2 restarted to the htc screen,what does that mean?

    If it's the first occurrence of such a problem, it seems highly likely that it might have just required a forced system reboot (in your case to apply an update?). I doubt it is related to any memory issues (assuming you're running stock ROM).
  • Answer to: ¿Es el mismo procedimiento para un iPhone 3GS?

    Bienvenido. El procedimiento para abrir los dos telefonos es igual. Donde se diferencian es en los procedimientos para reemplazar ciertos componentes dentro de los telefonos, en tu caso los botones de volumen. Pero no hay ninguna preocupacion con respeto al abrimiento del 3GS. Cada guia tiene los cambios notados, asi que no deberia ver ningun problema. Cualquier cosa aqui estamos para servirle y le ayudaremos con le que podamos.
  • Answer to: LCD/LVDS Replacement Reassembly Questions?

    Hi. Most of the adhesive should remain on the front display glass. You are simply heating (melting) and not removing the adhesive. It should be strong enough to stick back during reassembly. Although we usually don't condone operating your laptop while it's disassembled, it is definitely possible. Proceed at your own risk and with caution. You can simply connect the LCD to the upper case assembly (includes logic board, fan, etc.) and test it before reassembly. Good luck!
  • Answer to: Can't find hard drive to install osx

    It sounds like you need to format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).
  • Answer to: How can I unlock a iPhone 3 GS

    While your question may not be hardware related, I'd be happy to guide you in the right direction. My personal favorite website for DIY iOS unlocking is Jailbreak Matrix. They provide an excellent iOS device identification system that will tell you whether or not you can jailbreak/unlock your device.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Teardown

    Quote from Melissa:

    Is it possible to replace the trackpad on a MacBook Pro 13inc, my little boy hit it with a pen and cracked it. It still works just has an ugly crack on it. I see I can buy a new track pad just need some instructions on how to go about replacing it. This is my first Mac I am used to PC laptops so never opened a mac before. Some advice or tutorial would be great thank you.

    Hi Melissa. Unfortunately, the trackpad is part of the Upper Case. If you wish to replace it, we have a guide for the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Upper Case. Good luck.
