I replaced the display on the iMac and when I reconnected everything I noticed a flicker on the screen and that the display was not a bright as the previous one.

After a day or so the display went black and did not come back on.

I figured that there was a loose cable, but when I reopened the unit everything was secure. I powered up the unit as a test and found that the display flickered when it was lowered into place.

I soon realised that every time I moved the display up and down or touched the display power cable, the screen goes out.

I can’t see any damage to the connector on the motherboard. The display power cable end and sheath seem fine, no obvious damage.

Because I can only recreate the problem by touching the connector end of the cable I don’t think the display itself is bad. And like I said, the motherboard connector seems fine also.

Can I get a tv repair guy to swap this connector with the one from the old display, and should the spliced cable be soldered? Finally, would soldering cause any damage to the screen or would the heat dissipate before it can get to any of the components in the display?

Thanks for any help you can give.

so i sadly dropped my late 2014 27” iMac onto a soft chair and the glass broke on my iMac. its not a huge crack but i would like to get it fixed myself as its very annoying to look at. does anyone know how to replace it and parts for this? by the way i don’t need to replace the LCD. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I replaced my airport card cable about 2 years ago. Very recently the connection of my MBP to the wi-fi network in my home has started to present with the same issues that would suggest that the airport card cable needs replacing once again - intermittent connection drops, general lag in browsing. I have ruled out this being my router, modem or ISP, as other devices are not encountering this issue. Thing is, I took apart my macbook and the cable looks fine - no crimps or fraying that I can see.

Are there any more subtle indicators (other than obvious crimps and fraying) that might tell me if the cable is the issue? Understanding that there could be other contributing factors at the hardware level (namely the airport card itself being shot).

Thanks in advance.

Below are some photos I took this morning of an issue which seems to be happening more and more often. I haven’t taken steps to fix it yet, because typically it will fix itself after being powered on for about 10 minutes. Typically after that, it will stay working for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, this has been happening almost every day now, and (at least so far) hasn’t righted itself today. I suspect there is something wrong with the display’s connection since the display clearly can function properly outside of these episodes and resetting NVRAM (at apple support’s suggestion) did nothing. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Hello,

My Macbook keyboard (except the Power button and the trackpad) suddenly stopped working yesterday and I'm unsure which part is defective. No spills or anything of that sort. It was just on, worked on it and left it for an hour so before realizing the keyboard stopped working after I resumed work.

Right now, I've connected an external keyboard so that works. I've resetted the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM to no avail.

After a couple of days struggling to adapt to an external keyboard and the whole setup with the USB hub .... the keyboard miraculously started working again. What in the !&&* is going on...nope. Started acting up again after I let it go to sleep for hours. Opened it back up and not working. Only trackpad, power and I think command, options buttons are working. So odd.

In the meantime, I’ve replaced both the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cables but to no avail. Does this mean it’s time to replace the actual keyboard itself now?

Now the trackpad and the select few buttons (except the power) that worked has stopped working.

This really sucks.

I’ve ordered the topcase (without the trackpad) already so i’m really hoping that that’ll fix everything once I able to replace it.

Update:

After disconnecting and reconnecting the trackpad and keyboard ribbon cables, the few keys that did work and the trackpad started working again.

Still going to replace they keyboard/topcase when the part arrives.

Unbelievable. I’ve finally replaced the upper case assembly with keyboard and the keyboard is still the only part that doesn’t work. The power button is the only button that works now. I have the original keyboard ribbon cable along with two other replacements ordered from eBay and Amazon but none of them have worked so far.

What could the issue be then? :(

Hi all,

My dryer stopped working midcycle and will not turn back on. We had bought it used, brought it back from where it was purchased, and it is worked just fine there. When we brought it back home, it still would not work for us.

We changed the outlet (30A 125/250V) as we were not getting the proper voltage reading. We are now getting more power (225 volts.)

We checked the breaker and its getting 125 volts.

What gives? Just trying to look for solutions before we call out an electrician.

Thanks!

Son spilled coke on keyboard. Cleaned best he could, keyboard and touchpad not responding correctly. Touch pad right button on constantly. Son replaced keyboard, everything working except does not charge. No light on magsafe connector. Took to Genius bar. Told me minimal power to Logic board and hard drive. Would boot up, but battery at 7%. Tried one of their chargers, but no light with theirs either. Was told it was probably the logic board, $475.00 plus tax. Came here, bought logic board, still no joy. No light on charge plug, battery status blinking on last LED, no battery power and not charging. HELP

Cannot download anything, as there is not enough power left in battery to boot up. Any way to charge battery directly?

The fuel gauge went to empty, and the light and alarm still beeps. Plenty of gas and added more to be safe. Work is 60 miles round trip. Running ok. Is there a fuse? Or would the light and alarm not work with blown fuse?
