I got my first Apple in 1979. Went Apple professional in 1984. Opened local Apple type repair store in '93. Authorized Apple VAR 1996. Authorized UMAX (Apple Clones) service provider. Ran my own Apple type store for ten years.

Resposta para "Moving mid-2012 MacBook Retina display to mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro" 15/04/2021
No. The cabling for camera and mic and video display are very different.
Resposta para "buzzing noise coming from fan when holding power button" 07/04/2021
Try this: disconnect the battery and mag-safe. Press and hold the power button for ten seconds. Reconnect the battery then the mag-safe. See if you get a spontaneous reboot.
Resposta para "Water damage, how to test if SSD or contacts are faulty?" 07/04/2021
Try booting from an external USB drive. The last water damaged retina I got in had fried the storage board and I had to order a new one from Other World Computing and that fixed it. Of course you do need to disconnect the battery and remove that corrosion first.
Resposta para "What ssd to put in 2008 MacBook?" 27/03/2021
Your MacBook is a Serial ATA (1.5 Gb/s). You will need to find a drive that is backward compatible to SATA I.
Resposta para "will not connect in recovery mode" 23/03/2021
Usually a white screen in dictates a hard drive failure. Book up from an external drive to confirm. Run Disk Utilities on the internal drive. If it has failed replace with an SSD. This will extend the life and the speed of the drive dramatically. See step #17 of this guide to see how to do it: iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2308 Hard Drive Replacement
Resposta para "Walker - left handle is bent & now too short. Can’t get the brake on." 23/03/2021
Take the handle cover off and insert a broom stick or very large screwdriver into the open end that will give you enough leverage to bend the handle back into place.

Resposta para "water dripping from detergent tray" 15/03/2021
This can be caused by low water pressure. The water inlet value will leak if there is not enough pressure to keep the valves closed. It can also be caused by a failing water inlet valve.
Resposta para "Dishwasher won't drain when hot." 13/03/2021
01 - Drain Pump The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. Drain pumps are not repairable—if the drain pump is defective, you must replace it. 02 - Pump and Motor Assembly The motor drives an impeller to force water out of the drain hose. If the motor runs during the drain cycle, check for a blockage in the drain line. If the motor won't run during the drain cycle or if it just hums when it should be running, the pump and motor assembly might need to be replaced. 03 - Clogged or Improperly Installed Garbage Disposer If the garbage disposer was installed recently, the drain plug may not have been removed. All garbage disposers are sold with a solid plug in the drain tube. If the dishwasher is not connected to the...
Resposta para "2400 MHz RAM in a 2133 iMac?" 12/03/2021
Please tell us the exact machine you are referencing. OR You can look it up yourself here: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/...-imac.html UPDATE RAM Type:PC4-17000 DDR4*Min. RAM Speed:2133 MHz Details:*Apple reports that this model ships standard with 8 GB of "2133 MHz DDR4 onboard memory." Thankfully, however, this is not entirely accurate. Standard RAM:8 GBMaximum RAM:16 GB* Details:*8 GB of RAM is standard and reported as onboard with an optional upgrade to 16 GB of RAM at the time of purchase for an extra US$200. In a pleasant surprise, as first discovered by site sponsor OWC, this memory actually is not onboard and can be replaced or upgraded after the initial purchase of the Mac, it's just unnecessarily complicated.
