Chosen Solution Hello again ifixit. Im just learning how to do BGA work and micro soldering and such. I had a quick question of replacing the U2 IC on an iPhone 5s, how do you go about lining up the new chip? It doesn’t seem to want to sit correctly on the board connections, it keeps sliding to the side when I go to heat it up and if I put pressure on it, it immediately slips....

Chosen Solution does anyone have a tutorial on how to teardown ulefone power armor 14 because mine is not powering on when i put the charger the red light indicator is on but the battery is not charging maybe the battery is the problem Hi @y3tb0s It seems like a very new phone as it was only officially released in Oct, 2021. There is a 12 month manufacturer’s warranty on the device so perhaps it may be better to get a warranty repair done on the phone rather than opening it up to check what the problem is....

Chosen Solution Anyone knows what type of component is DZP4 (same as DZP2 and 3)? It;s located just above charge port on thumb wheel side, it has 6 legs and TOF6 printed on it. The iPod wont chanrge nor synch via USB. Charging via car charger works fine (12V). Maybe it’s RT8016 DC step down converter? That component seems the one which transfers USB data. On the 3G there are two components that handle USB and FW power below the dock connector on the logic board, these are labeled DZ1 (It handles the 12V from the FW charger) and DZ3 which handles the 5V coming from the USB connector....
Chosen Solution Our venerable Sony Vaio, which was working fine last night, is now showing screen corruption as soon as it’s switched on and then failing to boot into Windows. I’m guessing this is a hardware failure, most likely something on the logic board, and that it’s probably not worth repairing given the age of the laptop? The issue may be caused eg by a corrupted graphics driver. In this case, appropriate troubleshooting steps include: Reinstall the graphics driver....
Chosen Solution My 2007 Vino is a cold starter. I try to start it and just turns over and over. Whether I give it throttle or not. I leave it for a while, go back and it will start. Then it starts fine rest of the day. I sometimes go weeks without starting it. @partyponies , Rebecca , If you are getting a spark and fuel to the carburetor and the engine cranking over on good, the problem is probably the electric choke or heating element for easy cold start is not operating correctly....
Chosen Solution I have an iphone 7 plus that has been dropped numerous times. First repair was a broken display, 2nd time it was audio IC problems paired with grey wifi problems. Customer also wanted to upgrade his storage so I gave him a 256GB NAND. After 1 week he dropped the phone again The iPhone 7 have a few issues. Is it the rear camera? Does the flashlight not work?...
Chosen Solution iMac: Late 2015 5k 27", EMC 2834. So I’m putting my screen back on and before reapplying adhesive strips, I need to take the previous tape off. But wait! I think I went too far. I’m pretty sure I’m now taking off another layer of adhesive, or I just managed to take off the foam layer and not the underlying layer that sticks to the screen’s glass. Should I continue to take this layer off or am I now just taking off like something that protects the glass panel?...
Chosen Solution Hello. I recently spilled some sugared water on my MacBook Air 11" Mid 2011 model (A1370). Right after the incident, the computer turned off my itself. I opened up the back panel and just poured about 500mL of 99% isopro all over the parts and let it dry. Everything works besides the keyboard. The device powers on (i.e. the power key is working), but the rest of the keyboard seems off....
Chosen Solution Hello all! I’ve got simple question. Is it possible to change some chips to solve problem with activation lock (iphone is not locked by find my iphone, only i don’t know password for latest used iCloud account on it)? Can I do that in home without special tools? I know how to disassamble whole iphone, but i have never fight with soldering things to the Logic Board. Now I have chance to have some fun with Logic Board!...
Chosen Solution I figure it’s the deep clean sensor, but I am unsure how to clean it. It got really dirty after the roomba tried to clean a furball. The golden circle in the brush roller compartment is a piezo electric debris sensor. Use cotton swab and very lightly rub after you get it cleaned up of loose debris after that with some isopropyl alcohol and very lightly rub. Try not to use too much pressure it can cause the disk to move around and possibly break the solder joints on the back....
Chosen Solution I got a Switch in that isn’t charging. It was assumed it was a charging port issue, but upon closer examination, I saw this: It clearly has an “S”-shaped hole in the top — it’s fried. That component connects the upper copper plane to the fourth pin on either side of the charging port (of the row that’s exposed in the back) (VBUS?). The upper copper plane leads to the charging IC, second pin on the bottom right:...
Chosen Solution Warmest Greetings! What mainboards are compatible with a Samsung smart TV with the model number: UN43NU6900F (RZ03)? The reason I ask is because it seems to have gone dead, and I can replace it; yet, the one I “should” be able to put into it is not available anywhere. (The Samsung BN81-17875A / Power Supply board 0980-0900-0830 is simply out of stock everywhere. Well, some places have it but they want $250-$350 for it which is ridiculous....
Chosen Solution Hello, I need to open up my Asus Zenbook UX305F laptop to remove the battery. I can’t find the right size screw to open it up… I have attached photos and I will also add (if it’s unclear on these photos) that the screw shape is like a star with 6 equal points. It’s very small. Does anybody know what size/type screw I need? Thanks a lot. Hi @urrutiadr According to the parts list for the laptop, the only screws that have a Torx head are a T5 size....
Chosen Solution I am trying to replace the graphics card in this 2011 iMac and the three screws in the silver heat sink that houses the graphics card are proving difficult to find the right tool to use. They are not star shaped (rather round) and so none of the T type of screwdrivers (T6-T10) work here. And no other screwdriver I have works either. Help! I’m guessing that’s pentalobe. I cannot find the guide your looking at....
Chosen Solution people can’t hear me talking when i call them. That Microphone is Soldered straight to the board near the charging port. I would check to make sure there is no debris in mic holes on frame (or case covering them) but if you are getting no sound it is most likely the microphone has failed. If its super quiet it probably has debris. سلام گوشی موبایل دارای سه قطعه صوتی میباشد یکی برای دریافت صدا که نام ان رسیور یا کپسول صدا میباشد دیگری برای پخش موزیک که اسپیکر نام دارد ودیگری برای دریافت صدا یا همان میکروفون یا دهنی میباشد شماشما مشکل میکروفون موبایل را دارید اولین کاری که انجام میدهید باید تنظیمات صدای گوشی راموقعه تماس بالا ببیرید اگر درست نشد باید مسیر رسیدن صدا به میکرفون گوشی که یک سوراخ کوچک در پایین گوشی میباشد را ببینید که مسدود نشده باشد که باید این انسداد را با یک پنس برطرف کنید اگر مسیر صدای گوشی مسدودنبود به احتمال خیلی زیاد گوشی شما در اب یا رطوبت به میکرفون شما برخورد کرده وچون یک وسیله الکترونی است به احتمال زیاد دچار خرابی شده است وباید به تعمیر گاهای مجاز تعمیرات برای تعویض این قطعه بروید اگر سوالی داشتیتید متوانید به جیمیل من پیام بدهید amirslamefar@gmail....
Chosen Solution when i pull the triger my gun makes a loud bang and dose not fire how do I fix my maverick? It seems like your O ring might have broken. The plunger is retracted into place when you $!^& the blaster, and then when you pull the trigger it is released and the spring sends it forward to deliver a blast of air to propel the dart. If your O ring is bad, than you no longer have the sealing effect on the plunger and it wont be slowed by air pressure being forced out through the cylinder and barrel....
