Chosen Solution Dear iFixit Is there a chance to get the keyboards key butterfly mechanism (2) and the keycap for the “Y” key? My litte daughter already almost destroyed 2 buttons and I don’t want to be missing my MacBook for 2-3 weeks bringing it to Apple to repair it! Many thanks and best regards Erich At this point the system is so new I doubt anyone has the parts yet....
Chosen Solution I have this model of the nitro 5 and the entire computer is bricked, no signs of life, the charging light won’t turn on when plugged in, the fans don’t turn on when I press the button, I know it isn’t the power supply and nothing seems to be working, no obvious blown capacitors or anything like that, nothing seems to work. Please can someone try helping me?...
Chosen Solution I recently did something dumb and ordered a new clock unit for my 2000 Honda Accord LX. I didn’t know there was two versions of the Hazard Switch. Long story short, it didn’t let my Turn Signals work. I tried to disconnect it and my lights and tail lights went out. It blew the fuse on the passenger side that controls the Tail lights, so I replaced it. Which leads me here, the Tail lights work but the dashboard backlights don’t, the clock backlight doesn’t and the shifter lights don’t either....
Chosen Solution I have a sony bravia kdl-40w605b. There is no picture but the sound works fine at least I can hear the beeps from the menu even though I cannot see it. The backlight is working fine. This would normally be put down to a t-con failure however there appears to be no dedicated t-con board. The t-con cable goes directly from the mainboard to the screen. I have replaced both the mainboard and t-con cable with no joy....

Chosen Solution As stated in the title, one of the earpads on my Bose QC 35 II headphones can rotate a full 360 degrees of motion. It does not make any clicking sound in doing so and rotates smoothly without any extra force applied. The other one has limited rotational ability. Is there some way that I can fix this myself? only real way since i cant find any kind of schematics for this thing is to tear it down your self....
Chosen Solution Hi - The left USB port on my MacBook Pro only works to charge devices, it won’t recognize the device. The right USB port doesn’t work at all. It’s a secondhand laptop from craigslist and the seller said both ports worked before the sale. I already did an SMC reset and PRAM reset, nothing has changed. What should I try next? Edit: I realized my use of right and left is confusing....
Chosen Solution Im looking to replace my 2014 logic board with a 2017 one. Im already running High Sierra on my current board/ssd but will the replacement 2017 board running the older Sierra require me to first load an older OS (Sierra) from time machine onto my ssd before swapping boards to ensure compatibility with my existing ssd? I found my answer in another thread! Basically once your system has been updated to High Sierra, the firmware on the logic board is updated to read the newer APFS file system that High Sierra converts the ssd to....
Chosen Solution Hello, I have Outlook 2003 and was emailed a pptx attachment. When I double click it, it always asks to save instead of opening it. Docx files open fine. I have the Office 2007 compatability pack installed. If I save the pptx file to my desktop i can open it from there, but not if I double click the attachment. Thanks for your help. This appears to be the result of a recent security update for Powerpoint....

Chosen Solution While I was calling back light Sensor is not turning off How do I fix that? sounds like the proximity sensor on digitiser isn’t working- you’ll need to buy either the cable for earpiece/proximity sensor, or the midframe with earpiece+flex attached (without the lcd/digitiser)

Chosen Solution I have to keep resetting my iphone because it keeps telling me no service, sim failiure , no sim/invalid sim. It has no water damage , i have dropped a few times. Could some one help me with this please. The first thing to try is a new SIM card. You don’t have to buy one to test the SIM slot. For the slot test, just use an inactive or cheap prepaid SIM card and that will test it just fine, if all you want to test is how functional the slot is in reading a SIM card....
Chosen Solution Hi guys A few months ago my computer froze completely after getting overheated, and since then my computer hasn’t been able to find my internal harddisc. However, when I checked if it was possible to salvage anything from the harddisc, it turned out that it wasn’t damaged at all! So it has to be either the cable or the motherboard. This is how my motherboard looks like: To me it seems like there is a little area where the nodes have been fried a bit (yellow color), but I’m not sure....

Solutions are welcome. My Samsung TV model is LN32D403T-MX5HAUSC-1009.0. Hi, What is the source of the TV signal, a TV antenna or a cable box etc? Try enabling the digital noise filter setting in the TV and check if that improves the signal and resolves the problem....
