Questions

  • Can I use normal Solar Rez to repair my epoxy surfboard? Nov 5 @ 3:33 PM

    I have an epoxy/Boardworks Hynson twinzer with a few small nicks. I want to patch it up before I sell it but I don't want to ruin the paint on my board or mess anything up. Can I just use my standard solar rez to repair any dings? Will it adhere? Here is a link to my board

  • Answer to: Vertical lines appearing on display? Nov 10 @ 1:54 PM

    If you connect an external monitor and the output appears normal, the problem is likely a bad display data cable or possibly a failing LCD. If the output on the external is also poor, your logic board is likely the culprit.

    Same problem too. I'm so bored. Dear Ifixit Staff please answer us.

    Thanks

    Cable #3, found in Step 6 of this guide, is most likely the problem. It seems this connection can be especially fickle and might require some wiggling, sliding and a tender touch to get the ribbon seated just right. If at first you don't succeed, try again. :) Good luck!

    Is there an available internal USB port connection? Can one be added somewhat easily? I couldn't get a detailed enough view on Photo 20...

    Not that we ran across and Apple does not have any official documentation indicating the presence or lack of internal USB.

    There is a 3rd screw on the right hinge mount also.

    This guide is for the Core Duo MacBook, you may be referring to the Penryn/Santa Rosa MacBook which has 3 screws here.

  • Re: I ORDER AND NOTHING RECEIVED Oct 9 @ 11:17 AM

    I checked your tracking information this morning and it appears your package is finally out of the customs office. You should expect your package in the next several days. Again, I am sorry that there was such a delay with your order.

    #

  • Re: I ORDER AND NOTHING RECEIVED Oct 7 @ 10:34 AM

    I am very sorry about the hassle with your order. According to the tracking information, your order is still being processed by the customs office in your country. I do not think your order is lost, but rather your customs office is taking longer than average to process your shipment. The majority of the time that a package is held for this long, it ends up being delivered just fine. Thank you for your patience in this matter and please be assured that if your package is not delivered properly, we will do everything to make sure the matter is resolved. I wish we had control over this part of the process but we simply do not. Thank you and please send any more concerns on this matter to my email address: brady@ifixit.com. Have a nice day!

  • Re: MacBook 15" Unibody (early 2009) screen case replacement Oct 6 @ 5:01 PM

    Unfortunately, there is no teardown or guide available because there is not a feasible method of opening the display assembly without breaking the glass. I am sorry about this situation. If we find a way to open it easily, we will do our best to make the information public.

    Hello Hugo,

    Does the brightness appear to be on the lowest setting and you can barely see images on the screen?

    Sounds like a great idea. Take a look at the iBook G3 12" LCD to solve your problem.

  • Re: Are Glossy and Matte Displays Interchangeable? Oct 1 @ 4:39 PM

    I think we just corresponded via email, but for those still curious, the LCD's are interchangeable. The distinction is merely a matter of preference.
