Answer to: How can I repair the YLOD problem ( yellow light of death )jejejoey - almost correct! they switched to lead-free - thats right (to anybody who cares ->google "RoHS" for more information about that topic). the melting temperature is exactly the other way. leaded solder melts earlier then lead-free solder. the lead-free solder is "harder" - and that's why it breaks. you can read more about it on wikipedia -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction...

Answer to: Spilled wine back in '09. Lots of repairs needed. Worth it?i corrected the category for the mbp i think that it might not be that expensive here are the ifixit prices... aiport card 79,95 battery 109,95 keyboard 99,95 superdrive 149,95 but i'm pretty sure that you have many other options for those parts ebay.com airport card around 11 battery 26 (but this might be a pretty crappy battery) keyboard 30 suerdrive 40 those are all "buy it now" prices - auction prices can be lower.....

Answer to: part divice effect Solderingnothing to solder there - it's an emi shield - the phone would even work without that shield (but that would not the best idea)
-
Answer to: Headphone jack doesn't work and volume buttons dont function?open the phone and check the connector from the headphone jack assembly - sometimes it's not properly seated. but it could be damaged too i would check the resistors near the connector on the logicboard - had a few phones with broken resistors! (would that check before you order a new assembly) replacing the plastic case is easy if you already stripped almost everything - but as i mentioned earlier - try to get it fixed first and then order parts - they are too expensive - especially when the rest wont work....
-
Answer to: Touchscreen wont respond when I try to unlock phone...?hi matt, i would use the motherboard guide (click) and check all the connections inside the phone - most likely is a connection poped out of the socket - but it's also possible that the soldering of a chip got damaged - but as i said - check the connections first - good luck
