My Problem
Broken SATA Flex cable for the third time since I bought it
My Fix
All is working properly now. The step by step guides accompanied by very detailed pictures help alot.
My Advice
After I had replaced the flex cable, my macbook is working properly now. Just another issue, whenever I lift up the notebook, it will crash and reboot by itself accompanied with annoying noise before booting up. I am suspecting the flex cable touched the aluminium shell whenever I lifted them up and this caused the system forced to reboot. Any suggestion on how to fix this issue?
My Problem
The original battery was unable to hold a charge for more than a few hours. Apple couldn't help since it's an obsolete product for them.
My Fix
I watched the short video before I began, just to ensure I knew what I was doing. Then I began. Actually, it was more simple than I thought. It took longer to remove the screws than to remove and replace the battery itself. Once installed the laptop powered straight up. The battery even had a reasonable charge on it.
My Advice
This was my first experience using iFixit. If I needed additional parts or upgrades I'll certainly consider them for parts and guidance information.
My Problem
Fan noise
My Fix
Following the guide I was in and out in a few minutes. The hardest part was getting over the fear of starting. I have to say that the guide was perfect and the tips on each step were very helpful.
My Advice
In most cases don't be afraid to do the basic repairs to your computer. With the guides available with lists of tools needed - just do it!
My Problem
Airport was running extremly slow.
My Fix
Great. After taking the bottom off I followed the instructions to remove the airport card. I then realized that one of the connections was not connected to to card. I snapped the wire connector back on the terminal, reconnected the battery strap and turned on the computer. That was the entire problem. I didn't even have to replace the card. Two different computer shops said the Macbook Air was not fixable.
My Advice
Before going to a computer repair shop go to fixit.com first. See if you can find the problem on their site.
My Problem
Previously I could hear from one side of the earbuds. I tried to ask Apple; they said they can't. Repair shops; they either don't know or care. Then I went to your site out of sheer luck on a DuckDuckGo search.
My Fix
It went surprisingly smoothly. The case popped up immediately once the second / third side was loosened. Although for some reason, when I removed the case, a truant screw came out, which I could find a missing hole. But it was done, and I can finally use my iPod again. I felt confident again.
My Advice
I used a stiff putty knife instead of the bendable one in the pictures.
My Problem
Laptop battery needed to be replaced
My Fix
Awesome
My Advice
iFixit is the $@$*. I never give reviews, but this was so %#*@ easy that i felt i needed to share. That is all.
My Problem
Mac Book Pro battery was on its last legs...
My Fix
The repair was as easy as on the video.
My Advice
I wish I had done the battery changeover earlier. Right now it feels like I have a new computer - no hanging, responsive, fast.
My Problem
Battery would not hold a charge. Even if you didn't use the phone, it would go from fully charged to about 60% in an 8 hour day.
My Fix
Not too bad. Longer than I expected, due to issues with getting the tiny screws to stay in place to secure them back to the logic board.
My Advice
These screws are very tiny and hard to manipulate. The screwdriver is magnetic; which is great to take them out, but makes it hard to put the screws back in, as the screwdriver pulls them from the hole. I solved this problem by using the pointed end of the spudger to put a tiny drop of Elmer's glue in the hole and then insert the screw. You can do this before putting the bracket in place if you want. Then the screw wont pull out by the magnetic driver and make lining up and fastening the screws much easier; at least for me!
My Problem
I dropped my phone and cracked the screen.
My Fix
It was long and tedious, but the directions were very accurate.
My Advice
The suggestion to remove the headphone jack is an unnecessary step in an otherwise long process. Just be careful and apply a bit of pressure to the corner screws and they should come out.
My Problem
My 2011 Macbook air wasn't taking a charge.
My Fix
Went well. instructions were very straightforward
My Advice
The battery cable can be slightly tougher to slide out than is comfortable.
