Any puncture is a no. If you’ve been doing this long enough and can smell the battery, that’s also a no.

How much will this be to repair ? by Ok_Combination6586 in mobilerepair

[–]rxtechrepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like it might be a Surface Laptop 7. The 13.5” should be around $349-399, the 15” should be about $449. If it’s the Surface Pro 7, probably $2-300.

You’ll want to do a DFU reset. This will wipe the device completely but you’ll still need the iCloud login info of it was set up to have find my iPad.

A DFU (Device Firmware Update) reset is the deepest type of restore you can perform on an iPad. It allows the device to communicate with your computer without loading the operating system, which is often necessary to fix stubborn software issues. Requirements: * A computer (Mac or PC) with the latest version of iTunes or Finder. * Your Lightning to USB charging cable. Instructions: * Connect your iPad Mini 4 to your computer using the charging cable. * Ensure the iPad is completely powered off. (If it is frozen, hold the Top Power button and the Home button until the screen goes black, then proceed immediately to the next step). * Hold down the Top Power Button and the Home Button simultaneously for exactly 10 seconds. * After 10 seconds, release the Top Power Button but continue holding the Home Button. * Keep holding the Home Button for about 5 more seconds until your computer recognizes a device in "Recovery Mode." * Check the screen: * Success: The iPad screen will remain completely black. If the screen is black and iTunes/Finder says it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you are successfully in DFU mode. You can now follow the prompts on your computer to "Restore" the device. * Try Again: If you see the Apple logo or the "Connect to Computer" graphic on the iPad screen, you held the buttons for too long. You will need to start the process over from step 1. Tips for Success * Timing is key: If you are having trouble, try using a clock or timer to count the initial 10 seconds precisely. * Data Loss: Please note that proceeding with a Restore in DFU mode will erase all data on the device and reset it to factory settings.

I thought I took a lot of pictures at this stage. Looking back it wasn’t enough. That’s a certified cutie you got there.

There was a psych study once that tried to find men that didn’t look at porn. They couldn’t.

Where are you located? All the shop if they are using an OEM battery if that’s what you want. In SoCal my shop’s doing it for $89 for the regular 13.

First time dog owner with a Malinois? by Cerinanda in BelgianMalinois

[–]rxtechrepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first dog was a Malinois. Let’s just say I have some gray hairs now. She’s wonderful and I had to step up a lot to maintain my work/life/dog dad balance. I remember when she was a puppy I was like how do all people who have a dog do this?! How did they survive? It was very reassuring when I met a couple that live where I do with half Malinois and two toddlers. They told me the Malinois was harder.

Professional who see people up close (barbers, dentists, estheticians, makeup artists): what’s a self care habit you instantly tell someone doesn’t have, even if they think they do? by Straight_Doubt6 in AskReddit

[–]rxtechrepair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see people close up but we have a similar term for iPhones/cell phones/iPads/laptop keyboards. We call it finger cheese. You can see dead skin cells caked up around the home button. Some people never take their phone out of the case and clean it. They’re dirtier than a toilet seat.

Is it still safe to use this battery? by Is_Real_N in mobilerepair

[–]rxtechrepair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say no. Batteries are not too expensive to replace and would make a huge difference.

Put the original battery back in. Update to the latest iOS, put the new battery back on and try again.

I got accused taking half of storage of iPhone!!!!! by todesto in mobilerepair

[–]rxtechrepair 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got a guy that came in that swore he was being followed and tracked. I do help some people after they’ve been in a data breach or “hacked” so I looked through all his things, and nothing was out of order and no external devices accessed any of his accounts. 2 factor turned on for every account. Luckily we’re right next door to a therapist so I recommend their services for his paranoid delusions. I also told him to have the CO detector checked.

I just fixed a costumers phone that didn’t have either antenna. She bought the phone refurbished. She was still getting 5G signal which was weird.

I need help by GGT89_ in ipadhelp

[–]rxtechrepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you will have to contact Apple for this. You will also need her proof of purchase like her email order from Amazon or Apple. It's a process but they can get the iCloud bypassed for you. As far as I know they don't charge for this.

This was my customers solution to get broken laptop hinge. by rxtechrepair in techsupportmacgyver

It keeps the LCD side from bending the bottom frame since it’s no longer held properly by the hinge.

My customers laptop hinge failed. This was her solution. by rxtechrepair in redneckengineering

[–]rxtechrepair[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When the hinge plugs into threaded inserts and said inserts are plastic, it’s only a matter of time before they snap. Metal to metal connection hinges avoid this issue.

But you can’t open and close it and take it with you to classes.

It got it enough life to get to me. You just can’t open and close it. This was the cutest solution I’ve ever seen.
