  • Answer to: Can I add a sim card slot to the iPhone 4 CDMA?

  • Answer to: Patch fix for blown speaker

    There are many reports of bad speakers on this phone.

Notes

  • Installing iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210 Logic Board

    TIP for re installation..I had the mic cable around the left side board support when I installed the board so it was too short and had to pull the board a out again! Make sure the mic cable runs between the ODD fan and the board support.

  • Installing iMac Intel 20" EMC 2133 and 2210 Front Bezel

    Note for the less experienced.. the case is plastic and the metal coarse thread screws will easily cut a new thread in the hole if you don't line up the screw in the original thread. Do this a few times and the hole will be stripped and the screw no longer tightens.

    TIP:- place the screw in the hole and rotate BACKWARDS/counter clockwise (for RH threads) until you hear/feel it click/drop into the original thread then tighten the screw down. rotate it a couple times to get the feel of things. If there is any significant resistance you probably don't have the original thread.

    This trick also works on the fine metal thread screws and can help avoid cross threading them.
