Chosen Solution Boots into windows then shuts down straight away, keeps doing it. I opened it up, changed the thermal compound and cleaned the heat sink. It lasted 20mins then shut down. Installed speed fan and its is reading high temperatures. Fan sounds like it’s working overtime and gets very loud. Last thing I can do is change the fan but is it that? The reason is that your GPU chipset is faulty and needs to be repaired or replaced

Chosen Solution Hi, I’ve had to replace the LCD and digitizer of the iPad mini 1st gen. The problem I have is it appears to be turned on by the power button and my PC and iTunes recognises it but the screen on the iPad stays black. I did unplug the battery from the board too. Has anyone got any ideas please? I’m so desperate. Thank you. Take it apart and put everything back together....

Chosen Solution I have a mid 2013 Macbook air A1465 that I spilled water on 2 years ago. Ever since I have been using it with an HDMI monitor. Recently I decided I want to fix it myself. But then I found someone who would replace it for 99 bucks if I buy my own parts. I can still see the screen with a flashlight. The apple logo does not light up....

Chosen Solution I have a used ipad air. If you replace the logic board will that disable the look screen on start up so it can be used. The previous owner of the tablet did not unlock it. Im sure the iPad is iCloud locked as well. If you were to wipe the iPad, it would most likely need the iCloud info to setup. If you purchase another logic board, make sure it’s not iCloud locked....

Chosen Solution My girlfriends macbook broke and the 3rd party apple techs said it was the mother board. I did some investigation myself and saw no power coming in through the charger, so I bought a part online and replaced it. So far so good. It wouldn’t even light the charger up before, and now the charger lights up green then orange like it should. The first time I did it, the Macbook immediately turned on and I heard the boot up music....

Chosen Solution When I power up my device I get the small buffering circle along with the Apple icon, then the system restarts itself….what do I need to do to get past this? Hold the option key down and see if it sees the boot drive. You could be having hard drive failure. Also try to insert a Startup CD/DVD/USB drive with a system on it. let us know if it does anything with that....

Chosen Solution I left my Mac sitting off the charger for a few hours, and now it suddenly won’t turn on. It was working just fine when I used it last, with no issues. It could have possibly been exposed to some water (I had a water bottle that leaked a tiny bit onto the bag it was in, but I’m not sure if any of it got on it, and it was only enough to make the bag damp so it wasn’t even that much water....

Chosen Solution I replaced the diode and the magnetron and it still won’t heat up. The ge microwave turns on, lights up, and the table turns.it just doesn’t heat up. There are electrical fuses and thermal fuses. Why was the magnetron replaced?

Chosen Solution My two year old tried cracking the access code to my ipod touch,,,,many times it seems. It contains all my original song recordings along with my entire music collection. I realize I’m a dick for not backing it up so if anyone has a positive solution to retrieving my music I’d be eternally grateful. Alex Sounds like you need to set the clock. Plug it into a computer with iTunes installed....

Chosen Solution Hang on, because this question is a long one! A couple of nights ago I was using my phone when it randomly shut off. I plugged it in, thinking it was the battery, and I went back to sleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and I checked my iPod. It still wasn’t turning on. So when I woke up in the morning, it turned on, but the wallpaper had turned white....

Chosen Solution My kindle crashes and when I opened it shows signs of water damage, although it works for short periods of time, also I’ve noticed the wifi doesn’t seem to be working. Since it works for short periods of time, I’m wondering if it’s overheating at all, and in which case, is there a heat sink I can get to re apply thermal paste to keep temperatures down? Is there anything that can be done with this one or is it a lost cause?...

Chosen Solution My notebook wont turn on and i noticed the power light isnt turning on either. It was working fine last night but wouldnt turn on this morning. Any help is appreciated.

Chosen Solution Hi, I am having some major trouble. It seems as if the plastic socket on the motherboard to connect the lcd is broken. It looks the socket has been pulled and broken off from the board. Is there any way to fix this without replacing the motherboard? Please help. There is but it requires microsoldering Thanks for the photo The pads look great which is a big plus It may need a new connector if there are broken pins on it These are not costly Bring it to a repair shop that are experts in microsoldering...

Chosen Solution My LG LW650T suddenly stopped working a few days ago, and although I’ve started the search to replace it as it was old, the picture quality was good and would love to repair if possible to use elsewhere and save some electrical waste. I gave it to a local repair place who said he would do some basic checks, and reflow it, but it never worked so didn’t charge me....
