One's path is never secure when corners are cut. They say if you play a Windows Installation CD backwards you can hear demonic chants, that's nothing, if you play it forwards, it installs Windows!! hehehe

Answer to "Installed new broadcom card... now no bluetooth" 11/13/2014
David, I would dry a PRAM reset before declaring it defective. Sometimes this forces the machine to recognize new hardware. Also, what do you see under System Profiler under bluetooth? Anything there?
Answer to "Restore from Time Machine (external drive)" 11/08/2014
With the drive containing the TimeMachine backup connected, simply navigate to your Utilities Folder in Applications and look for Migration Assistant. Open that and it should automatically find the TimeMachine Backup and allow you to restore your data. Good Luck.
Answer to "Why is my bluetooth not Working?" 12/15/2013
Have you tried reinstalling a fresh copy of OSX? I would try that first. If that doesn't help, you might be looking at replacing the airport card on your macbook. It has an antenna for WiFi and bluetooth as well. Luckily, it's pretty straight forward replacing this card and requires minimal experience. Just look at the repair guide here for your specific machine.
Answer to "Home Button Constantly Pressed Without Touching Device" 12/15/2013
Seems like you have tried all the obvious fixes first. The problem may be on the Logic Board where the Home Button makes contact with the Logic Board. Has this device suffered water damage? I would take the device apart and focus on that area where the home button communicates with the logic board and try cleaning that area thoroughly with Alcohol. You may have some debris in there thats jamming the contact up.
Answer to "Why can't I get past step 4 of installing Mac OS 10.5?" 12/07/2013
If the drive is not formatted for OSX, it will not be read by your system for installation. Use disk utility to partition and format the drive to HFS+ extended(journaled) and Guid Partition table as your partition scheme and u should be good to go. If this doesn't help, try Dan's suggestions. Good Luck.
Answer to "Connector type AirPort card" 12/05/2013
Andrea, there's an existing thread on this topic already. But, replacing the card alone won't be enough. You would also have to swap out the antennae, as the ones in your machine aren't capable of providing the throughput that this card is capable on handling. Also, I would believe the firmware would have to be adjusted/updated in order for the card to function properly. In other words, the upgrade, even if it physically fits, won't provide you with any benefits as far as your Wifi performance goes.
Answer to "Screen will not rotate after ios 7 update." 12/01/2013
Bring up Control Center by swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen. In Control Center, all the way up top where the wifi, bluetooth, etc, setting are you'll see the orientation lock icon there. Just deactivate from there.
Answer to "Why is my microwave only lighting up?" 11/23/2013
Honestly speaking, microwaves aren't really user-friendly as far as repairs are concerned. Only a trained and well qualified technician should attempt any repairs on these machines. They're very dangerous, so please don't attempt any repairs if you are not a trained technician.
Answer to "Will these ram work with my MacBook Pro?" 03/05/2011
Emil, go with a reputable vendor offering a reliable brand, which will most likely offer lifetime warranty on your RAM. Corsair, Kingston are good brands.
Answer to "Il PC è bruciato?" 11/06/2013
Sì, è una possibilità. Swaping fuori un bordo DC con uno di maggiore tensione può sicuramente friggere la vostra tavola. Io non consiglierei di acquistare un'altra scheda DC per il modello di come potrebbe essere già troppo tardi. La tensione maggiore potrebbe avere amico componenti chiave sulla vostra tavola.
