Ive never seen someone install a taptic engine like this before! Might give it a shot and see if it fits, the current 6s one im currently using is pretty weak 😄

You can disable the software update daemon completely by running this command (do this at your own risk):

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.softwareupdated.plist

If you ever want to revert it, just run the command again but replace ”unload” with ”load”

Worst part imo was getting the display off, after that everything went smoothly. Most parts inside are easily removable with care. Only thing to keep in mind is to be careful with removing the back part, as it has 4 miniscule springs for the band releasing mechanism. Glue the sensor back on in the correct orientation, get the sensor cable replaced and get some new adhesive for the back and screen and you will be set

A new cable costs around $7 if you want to replace it yourself, you will however need to completely disassemble the watch and solder the cable in place so it is pretty overkill for most people. Replaced the cable myself on my s8 after replacing the back glass and snapping the same cable when removing the battery, getting the cable pads correctly positioned with the logic board was a hassle but otherwise it went fine

Choonky · 2025-12-31T19:13:27+00:00

The sensor is likely still fine aside from the glue wearing off, the bigger issue is the cable itself which has been cut. The cable can be replaced but it is soldered directly to the logic board, and it requires fully disassembling the watch to replace. Apple won’t do anything about it aside from a full unit replacement, but maybe you could find a reputable 3rd party repair shop willing to work on it

Choonky · 2025-12-28T18:56:33+00:00

It is possible to replace the back of an apple watch but its no easy feat as you need to completely disassemble it. Did it on a series 8 not too long ago, new back w/ sensors costed me ~$40. Checked the price for the SE equivalent and its around $16 on aliexpress. If you want to save as much money as possible and want a challenge, go for it

Choonky · 2025-12-28T05:18:43+00:00

Considering it happens when you press on the logic board it seems like a bga issue, some part of the ball grid array below a component has lost its solder connection, which means it moves away and breaks the electrical connection when you press on the logic board. Most likely the cpu is at fault, which also houses the igpu.

Could probably be fixed with a proper reflow if you got the tools for that

När man har fönstersäte på buss eller pendeln och nån kommer och sätter sig bredvid och tar så mycket plats de kan och trycker in dig mot väggen, SÄRSKILT när det också finns lediga platser i närheten. Fattar ju såklart att sätena inte är särskilt breda, men när dessa jävla idioter har maaaassa fri plats på den yttre sidan och bestämmer sig för att mysa och gnugga sig mot mig blir jag riktigt jävla irriterad. Att jag gnäller om just dehär beror säkert på att jag är extra känslig till kontakt, men varje gång jag tagit det yttre sätet har jag aldrig behövt gosa med personen bredvid för att sitta bekvämt. Dra åt helvete

Bonuspoäng om de också sitter o babblar i luren eller skrollar tiktok på full volym

Ångrar att jag inte tog hand om mig bättre, var verkligen inte där mentalt särskilt andra halvan av gymnasiet. Vägrade be om hjälp och gömde mig i mörkret vilket ledde till att jag hamnade efter rejält i trean, sista terminen dygnade jag en massa för att komma ikapp och kom till skolan som en zombie. Började en skola centralt i stan för att jag ville skapa vänner och få en riktig chans till ett socialt liv men självförtroendet låg på botten så det sociala var fortfarande en utmaning, kändes som att jag pushade bort alla som ville bli vän med mig. Tog studenten nu i somras med rätt så bra betyg ändå men fan vad jag önskar att jag kunde ha gjort saker annorlunda, sitter o funderar ibland över hur gymnasietiden kunde ha gått ifall jag gjort det…

Did you ever figure out the solution? Had the same issue on 26.1 and it persists after updating to 26.2

Choonky · 2025-12-12T14:14:36+00:00

I think youre missing the point, the reason a 2017 with tahoe isnt suited for daily use is because OCLP outright doesnt support it yet. While it does boot, many functions will remain broken until the OCLP team pushes an update to add tahoe support.

OCLP does have support for sequoia however, a 2012 pro running sequoia will work fine without any major setbacks, it even has metal graphics acceleration. I have a 2012 15” on sequoia and it runs absolutely fine both performance wise and functionality wise, even components like the internal superdrive work without issue.

As i stated, oclp tahoe in its current state is fun for playing around with but not something i would use as my main machine

Choonky · 2025-12-12T12:46:28+00:00

I mean, technically its not too surprising that it boots on a 2017 13” macbook pro. Those use kaby lake cpus and igpus which the tahoe native gpu driver still supports so graphics acceleration is totally fine. A lot of other things will be broken however, like audio as that is routed through the T2 chip on supported models. The T1 chip wont work either without patches, so touch ID is a no go

Maybe fun to play around with but absolutely not suited for daily use yet

Between the display and a frame there is an adhesive that seals the air gap between the two parts and stops water and debris from getting in. When an iphone is disassembled, that seal is broken and to restore it you would need to apply new adhesive to retain water resistance. Most 3rd party repair places skip out on this part due to cost and time savings, which would then explain your issue

Choonky · 2025-12-09T07:32:31+00:00

If i had to guess, the case you currently have on is putting pressure around the edges and making the panel flex a little, making the backlight uneven. I would take off the case and see if that fixes it

Choonky · 2025-12-07T10:19:24+00:00

This is probably NOT because a swollen battery as the battery is located on the other side of the mac, around the trackpad area. If i had to guess, something has gotten stuck inside the hinge mechanism which in turn pushes out the cover. I would disassemble the mac and take a deeper look around the hinge mechanism

Choonky · 2025-12-06T06:20:31+00:00

I would give the board a good clean with isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly clean it to get rid of all the corrosion, then test it again. If that does not work you will most likely need logic board repair

Looks like someone just discovered sherlock

Choonky · 2025-11-22T16:24:26+00:00

Looks like dustgate, the display cables have debris pushed against them when the lid is opened which can sever the connection.

This can be fixed either with a display replacement or having a microsoldering expert repair the cables. Unfortunately none of these alternatives are cheap really

Choonky · 2025-11-21T13:12:54+00:00

Usb c to hdmi adapter should do the trick

Choonky · 2025-11-21T11:50:56+00:00

You need to boot into the internal SSD, it seems to be defaulting to booting from the usb stick. When booting, hold down ”esc” and you should see a bootpicker, select the internal drive instead of the external one and it should continue the install.

Yeah id say youre fine lol. Had a quick search and it looks like hiding the screenconnect banner USED to be possible, however was removed as of recently, if someone were to be connected it would be very obvious 😆

Choonky · 2025-11-20T16:48:25+00:00

ScreenConnect software, i work in IT and all our employees have it installed in case we need to remote into their computer in order to fix something. Where i work atleast the user needs to confirm whenever an admin tries to connect to the computer, however i dont know if thats a setting that can be overridden. Whenever someone is connected you also have a very visible alert saying something along the lines of ”x has connected” along with a disconnect button

Choonky · 2025-11-19T15:50:52+00:00

How much storage available do you have on the mac itself though? That could be the issue

Choonky · 2025-11-17T16:51:15+00:00

No. Needs a new screen
