I got my first Apple in 1979. Wrote stock market analyze programs. 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 till heart problems. Now that the surgeons have rebuilt my plumbing I'm back at it full time. I've enjoyed the new customers from iFixit sending in their machines on the tough problems. I fancy myself as the "Dr. House of Macs". I want the hard problems, ones that interest me. The work is a constant challenge and I learn new things everyday. Researching questions keeps me up to date and has improved my diagnostic skills tremendously.

Responder a: Can I add in iFixit "replacement" RAM to upgrade? 2 dias atrásfevereiro 14, 2019
Standard RAM:8 GBMaximum RAM:64 GB* RAM Type:PC4-19200 DDR4*Min. RAM Speed:2400 MHz Details:Supports 2400 MHz PC4-19200 DDR4 SDRAM SO-DIMMs (260-pin). Details:*By default, 8 GB of RAM is installed as two 4 GB memory modules (and two slots are unoccupied). For some curious reason, Apple only permits this model to be configured at the time of purchase with 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM for an extra US$200 or US$600, respectively. However, as first determined by OWC, it can support up to 64 GB of RAM with four 16 GB memory modules. Here’s a video on how to install it: Third one down: https://9to5mac.com/2017/08/01/review-entry-level-mid-2017-5k-imac-great-deal-ram-upgrade-thunderbolt-3-egpu-baby-lake-video/
Responder a: Why won't my washer fill for rinse cycle? 2 dias atrásfevereiro 14, 2019
If the washer drains after washing but will not fill in the rinse cycle then checking the pressure switch would be a good idea. If the tub is empty you can remove the plastic hose, give the switch a thump and reattach the hose. Does it fill now? If not then you can remove the violet wire and tan wire from the pressure switch and join them together with a small piece of insulated wire. Remember to unplug the washer first before attempting this. With these two wires connected the washer will fill if the pressure switch is the problem. According to your specific model number the color of the wires may differ.

Responder a: How to fix broken/loose key cap 4 dias atrásfevereiro 12, 2019
I think it came loose while you were just typing on it. If so, it is covered by Apple by this Service program: https://www.apple.com/support/keyboard-service-program-for-macbook-and-macbook-pro/ If you really are sure you did knock it off, then it will probably require an upper case replacement as these new keyboard are almost impossible to work on. Here’s the part you will need: MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Touch Bar, Late 2016-2017) Upper Case

Responder a: Maytag Atlantis Will fill and go through the cycle but does not agitat 4 dias atrásfevereiro 12, 2019
It would help to have your model number. Here are the top three causes, there are more if these aren’t it. Cause 1 Agitator Repair Kit If the washer won't agitate, replacing the agitator repair kit may solve the problem. The kit contains the agitator components that are most likely to wear out and/or fail. If any of the parts are worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace the kit. Cause 2 Drive Block or Bell The drive block connects the washer transmission to the agitator. If the drive block is worn out, the transmission shaft will still move back and forth, but the agitator will only move slightly or will not move at all. Inspect the drive block for damage. If the drive block is worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace it. Cause 3 Motor Coupling The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine i...
Responder a: MacBook Pro Mid 2012 Keeps freezing 4 dias atrásfevereiro 12, 2019
Start up in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key on start up and see if the problem persists. If it’s gone, then you have a software issue. If it’s back, I would suspect the hard drive/IR cable (it gets damaged by coming in contact with the bottom cover. If so, I will post a photo of how to prevent that.

I disagree with your difficulty level. I found this much harder than a standard display due to the size and number of tiny screws.

I can believe, but must, that iFixit has made uploading images this difficult rather than they way it used to be done! What a bunch of putzes.
