MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Mid 2014: Can RAM be upgraded?

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 05:09:37 -0700

I just got a MacBook Pro and already regret not doing the 16GB upgrade. (For now, it's fine, but I'm thinking about the future here.) Is there any chance this will be possible—at least in the years to come?

iPod Touch 6th Generation: Will not turn on

My iPod touch was working fine and the battery was charged well. I pushed the standby button and when I tried a few minutes later to turn it on, nothing happened. I connected it to my desktop computer and it was not recognized by the computer and still it would not turn on.

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 stuck on recovery mode error (9).

Sat, 21 Nov 2020 07:28:17 -0700

My iPhone 5 will not restore, shows a strange graphic under restore (See video), and shows "the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)," and goes back to restore mode. The phone has never been opened and no parts were replaced before this issue.

TinyUmbrella was no good, resetting hosts file to default was no good, DFU mode is a no go... It seems like a hardware issue, and I could really use some tips, especially in component-level repair.

Samsung Galaxy Buds: HELP:My earbuds come up as two separate Bluetooth devices- How to fix?

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 19:41:24 -0700

How can I Force the two earbuds to sync up and become one Bluetooth device?

They are coming up as two separate Bluetooth devices in settings and I can only connect to one at a time.

Is there a way to force reset them?

Disclaimer: I cannot Reset through the app as that only works with two of them connected. Right now I'm the wearables app there are two separate devices.

Xbox One: Why won't my console sync button work?

Tue, 27 May 2025 22:04:57 -0700

Over time my sync button on the left side if my console worked but now it's gone. When I press the button on the left side it makes a ding noise but the console symbol suppose to blink indicates in trying to sync. My controllers work when I press it but not the console button. I have to play with my controllers wired but I really need help with this to have it fixed. I tried hard reset and everything so I assume its an issue inside the console.

Kodak ESP 3 All-in-one Printer: Printer won't print in black. What's wrong?

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:13:50 -0700

Printer won't print in black. Colour works. I have replaced black cartridge with no results. Have used mostly black before, so it's strange that black won't work while colour does. Is it a built-in fault? At my wits end.

MacBook Air 13" Mid 2011: Why is my keyboard/trackpad not working?

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 06:09:42 -0700

I bought my Macbook Air in September of 2011 new from the Apple store. My trackpad was replaced by Apple in September of 2012 as it gradually began to become unresponsive. Since the repair, I haven't experienced any other problems. The unresponsive trackpad was the only problem I've run into with this Mac.

After some brief surfing around this morning, I went to work with my MacBook running fine as usual. After coming home, my keyboard and trackpad are both unresponsive. What's a bit more unsettling is that, in the System Preferences, it's not even recognizing a trackpad as being connected.

After doing some searching around, I've found that some people ran into this issue with MacBook Pros, and it was because of a ribbon that had become loose underneath the battery. I'm wondering if it's possibly the same problem for me with my MacBook Air. I hadn't read about anyone with an Air experiencing the same problem.

Any help would be appreciated.I would love to get my Air working so I don't have to constantly use my external keyboard/mouse.

Thanks!

Edit: The only key that works on the keyboard is the power button.

iPhone 5s: Back Camera and LED/Flash not working, Wifi is extremely weak.

Wed, 12 May 2021 03:45:57 -0700

When I open the camera app, front camera works fine but when I switch to the back camera the display goes black. In the top left corner it shows the following message, "Flash is Disabled - The iPhone needs to cool down before you can use the flash." But the phones temperature feels normal. Also the Wifi signal is very weak and it doesn't pick up all the networks around me. I need to sit right next to the router in order to pick up Wifi and connect, but even then, the signal is still very slow. I bought another 5s (with a working camera) for parts and I put the new camera and LED into my phone, but its still showing the same messages. And I also put in a new Power/Volume ribbon cable in order to fix the Wifi. I had a problem with my power button but it was fixed after that swap, but the Wifi, back Camera and LED problems still persist. At this point I'm starting to think that the problem is in the logic-board but I'm not 100% sure. Please let me know the easiest possible fix for this, whether its replacing the logic-board or replacing the components on the logic board. Thank you in advance for your answers!

When I turn on my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 it boots to the logo then goes to the "SAMSUNG" screen, then it stays there. I've tried to do a hard reset by holding down the power button and the volume up button and have done both reboot and wipe data and still gets hung on the "SAMSUNG" logo. What else can I do to fix this?

I dropped my iPhone 5s and now half the screen has white thick lines going through it, I can't press over it, I can only use the right side of the screen. What should I buy to fix it? There must be a problem with LCD? Screen is not cracked though.
