Answer to "2005 grand am overheating" 10/28/2015
Get a temp gun and see if its actually overheating first. I would have done that before throwing in a can of head gasket fix. That stuff is nasty and only meant as a temporary fix. Why were the intake gaskets replaced?
Answer to "Wanted: Good iPad 2 parts supplier" 02/10/2015
So we've been fairly quiet about it because we're trying to make sure we're ready for the onslaught of demand but we've actually launched a wholesale parts supply source: https://www.ifixit.com/Pro/wholesale
Answer to "2013 iMac 21,5" cpu replacement" 11/24/2014
That model came with an i7 as an option so if you can find a logic board, you can swap it in.
Answer to "Trustworthy supplier for OEM iDevice parts" 10/20/2014

Answer to "Why is message sent and received at same time?" 09/30/2014
I've seen this happen before. Because you restored using your husband's iCloud, it has his info stored. You just need to go into iCloud and make sure it's your specific login info and go into messages and make sure that iMessage's info is your info.
Answer to "Beeping after RAM replacement" 04/02/2014
Sounds like bad RAM. I would contact who you purchased it from. If it was us, email support [at] ifixit [dot] com
Answer to "Faulty CPU/ODD sensors or fans after Dual Drive Kit Upgrade" 02/26/2014
Check the LCD Thermal Sensor Cable (vertical sync cable) and the cable to your main hard drive. You didn't mention if you also changed the main hard drive or not.
Answer to "wrong connector on dual drive kit" 02/08/2014
Taking a look at your order it looks as though you accidentally ordered the PATA instead of the SATA enclosure. I will go ahead and reply back to your email to setup a return.
Answer to "There is power but I can't move the slide to advance?" 01/21/2014
First thing to do is double check the connections. Those zif connectors are difficult. If you're still having issues it sounds like a defective part.
Answer to "My screen won't rotate." 11/30/2013
Sounds like the lock button next to the volume control got flipped. Toggle it in the opposite direction.
