iFixit: Not so much a question, but a big thank you all...

Wed, 13 May 2026 21:55:00 -0700

Hi all you iFixit's...

It's hard even to get my "question" here, already when typing my "device" and "title" - iFixit "Ask a Question" already puts in suggestions to solve my question as I type...

Just gotten your lovely "Thank you" mail from iFixit, I wanna give something back!

It started some years ago, my old Travelmate 6592G started to get - well -old, and at the about that time my best friend of mine got cancer, got operated, got well, and suddenly - he was in need of a PC who could handle all the internet, customers and what not in his shop - the world turns, and so does everything else... "Borrow my old laptop old friend, it'll do the work for you mate".

Well, it did, and he still does, however, "Listen old friend, your battery is kinda worn, so I¨ll get you a new one before you get your laptop back, and its overheating kinda fast...".

The battery we quickly fixed with help from the internet, and he got me a new one, however - the overheating persisted, and this is where iFixit comes to the rescue!

The two of us both being technicians, we found iFixit, found the instructions on how to take apart my old Travelmate, clean it for dust all the right places, apply new heat transferring paste, put it all together again, and start it up again monitoring the temperatures with the small programme I installed, we all had a happy Saturday afternoon, my friend, me and my son.

After that of course came my daughters broken iPhone (my sons twin), my good colleagues iPhone, and - well - whats next...

All in all, couldn't be what I am without you lovely iFixit¨s!

Thank you, and hope to give you all back soon....and a happy christmas.

Jens.

Software: Problems with Safari & Software Update in OSX 10.5.8

Mon, 11 May 2026 21:47:13 -0700

MacPro G5 dual 2.0

I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem. I updated my FireFox to 3.6.4 last night and it recommended installing the new Adobe ( I think Flash). Safari windows will not open, Software Update fails to function or even open. I had heard something about Adobe and Apple having a tussel. This is unacceptable. Has Adobe put the screws to me? Anyone else run into this problem?

It was install_flash_player_osx_ub(2).dmg Just downloaded Safari 5.0 and will try installing again. Re-install failed.

It probably is Adobe http://blogs.computerworld.com/adobe_fla... The question now is how to fix it. I download and ran Flash uninstaller and the problem persists.

UPDATE - I used the amnesia to remove flash, firefox and safari. I then reinstalled the Safari. It opens but no window and can't log into Apples software update. I would use migration assistant to restore the older versions but they're on an intel MBP and I don't know if that would work. Any suggestions would be welcomed at this point. I used migration assistant to move the Library from an old system on a second HD and it restored my ability to use Safari again. Software update still does nothing.

Electronics Skills: How do I get started with device repair?

Thu, 07 May 2026 05:29:13 -0700

Hello. I work in a PC repair shop that refuses to work on cell phones, tablets, mac books, etc.

There is no one in my town doing this and I figured I'd learn the skills and do it.

How do I start? Do I buy random broken phones and the required parts online and fix them at a monetary loss? What brand should I start with? What should I do with obsolete phones that I repair for practice?

Is there a better way then purchasing lots of phones on ebay for repair only to discard them? I'm not sure if I'm comftorable buying a broken iphone 14 and trying to fix it with the risk of breaking it, but I don't want a lot of e-waste either. Do I have to bite the bullet?

Thanks in advance for any advice ya'll have to offer.

Peace.

Software: I have no sound in Chrome.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 04:50:43 -0700

The sound on my computer works. The sound on other browsers work as well. The only place the sound does not work is Chrome. This has happened once before but I was able to resolve it. This time, nothing seems to be working.

List of things I have already tried (in no particular order):

Restarting Chrome
Restarting computer
Resetting Chrome settings
Clearing cache and cookies
Re-installing Chrome
Going incognito
Disabling/removing extentions
Using the software removal tool
Troubleshooting
Using guest profile

The only thing that has been suggested to me that I have not yet tried is using Chrome Beta and Chrome Canary. I will eventually try them if nothing better can be suggested to me. I would prefer them to be a last resort though, as I do not want to risk any bugs.

As for which version of Windows and Chrome I have, it's Windows 10 and Chrome 60.0.3112.101

iFixit: Bathroom Faucet Replacement Holes

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 20:03:36 -0700

I have a bathroom faucet that needs to be replaced. It has 2 holes. I was told I need a replacement with a 4" center piece. Can I convert a 3-hole faucet with a 4" center piece to install? And if I can, how do I do that?

I looked under the sink and there is 2 holes on each side of the center piece that has running water. In the middle there is another hole that has a place for the drain plug.

Hello!

I'm completing a project at uni, and we're incorporating meshtastic into our project solution. I was having trouble finding answers regarding maintenance and repair, and was wondering if you could help! thanks !

What is the maintenance of nodes/mesh networks like?

How often are maintenance checks done/do nodes need to be regularly maintained?

How would you go about repairing/replacing nodes?

Thank you !!
