Chosen Solution I just got the screen replaced on my Early 2015 Macbook Pro and I noticed that I do not get backlight whenever I boot the computer. I can not see the Apple logo unless I shine a light through the back of the display. I also have an encryption password that I have to enter whenever I turn my computer on and I can not see any of that unless I shine a light through the back....

Chosen Solution So what happened is that we cleaned the little components and the front display connectors located at the top right of the logic board as there was some slight liquid damage causing the touch screen to behave erratically intermittently. This in result solved that issue as we tried multiple new screens before that presented the same issue. Now after doing that the imei and modem firmware is missing. Modem firmware says nothing and the entry for imei in settings about phone is not even there....

Chosen Solution The same problem of other users that replaced some component of the netbook. In my case my Asus 1215N refused to power on after I replaced the broken LCD panel with a new one. Once I completed the substitution, I attached the LCD panel to the flat cable and rescrewed it to the cover. Then I powered on the netbook and the display worked as expected. Then I connected the plastic cover to the based unit rescrewing the lid to the hinges of the base unit....

Chosen Solution Hi As stated in the title, did a screen replacement on an iPhone 5 (I have a business and have done hundreds before without an issue) , now the customer is telling me that there is no sound via FaceTime , but sound works fine on all other calls and all other functions work fine. Recording a voice memo and playing it back also works perfectly. Any idea what I’ve done here?...

Chosen Solution Hi, so, i recently aquired a macbook pro with backlight issues. it did connect at that time to an external display though. however, i’m trying to get it to connect using mini displayport to hdmi but sadly my tv doesn’t picks it up.

Chosen Solution i’ve got an old ibuypower gaming tower (second owner, but i know the first, he didnt modify the tower) its got the generic USBs out the back mounted directly onto the motherboard, along with a couple plugs for additional USB ports, one of which is actively used (the 3.0 plug leading to a couple 3.0 ports on top of the tower) when viewing streams, streaming, or doing such network taxing tasks, windows will play the disconnect sound, or stutter the stream, reconnect my network, (mobile tethering, no wireless cards) and all USB devices will seemingly stutter with it....

Chosen Solution my daughter is traveling her Honda just went to -20% for oil change will it be ok. for another 100 miles till she gets home? ashley, yes she absolutely will be okay. The oil change intervals are not that crucial as long as the oil does get changed eventually. Hope this helps good luck. She will be fine. If it is synthetic oil it can sometimes last a couple thousand miles more than the average change, however make sure to replace the oil filter as well at least every couple oil changes and reset the diagnostic information right after you change the oil/filter otherwise it will still say ~20%....

Chosen Solution It is evident, Apple only officially supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 Memory. It is suggested on every other website this is the maximum memory configuration. However, OWC has photo evidence of 64 GB of memory working within this model. I was wondering if anyone else has attempted this with success? Lets look at this a a slightly different way… The 21.5” system has only two SO-DIMM slots so it can only support 32 GB of RAM (each 16 GB) The 27” system has four SO-DIMM slots which allows it to support 64 GB of RAM (each 16 GB) So far this is the densest PC4-19200 DDR4 SO-DIMM’s available....
