Sony PSP 2000/3000 UMD Drive

我的问题

My computer didn't turn on. I took it to an Apple Store. They told me that this Machine is a Dinosaur. they didn't have the part and didn't gave me warranty if the part is not original.

我的修理方法

I start looking on the internet how can I repair the computer. Then I see a video on youtube. I place the order, the order arrives the exact day it say in the order. Everything in the box was in perfect condition. While I watch the video I was doing all step by step. In about 18 minutes I have my computer back and working perfectly.

我的建议

IFIXIT is very trustable. The videos are very specific on the screws, cables, everything. I am a Pastor and My wife is a Grapphic Artist, all our work was in that computer, was very frustrating when the people from MAC told us nothing can be done. Thks IFIXIT, we have everything back and working perfectly.

我的问题

The computer was overheating pretty bad and it was hard to watch video or even play a simple game without the computer shutting off.

我的修理方法

It went really well. The tools made the whole process go really smoothly.

我的建议

I recommend taking your time, research the job before you start doing it, lay out all your tools, and feel prepared about what you are about to do. Made the process really easy and only ran into one problem that was easy to fix. I forgot to plug one thing in which caused an error but problem solving helped me find what the problem was. So take your time and most of all - have fun!

我的问题

As common as the problem is, my PS4 was not turning on or no light would come on when attempting to.

我的修理方法

The Repair was immaculate! It was quick and easy and anyone can do it as long as you have the right tools for it. As a Technician in training, it gave me a boost of confidence to fix the harder stuff for just anyone.

我的建议

Always want to try and fix your stuff on your own for a better price! It is important that every now and then you maintain your console to avoid being "bugged" or your fan being clogged with dust. Lastly, out of personal experiences, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CONSOLE ON REST MODE FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME THAN EXPECTED!

我的问题

The trigger on my X52 pro was stuck and wouldn't release unless I pressed it again hard and quick.

我的修理方法

Followed guide, opened it up, reseated the metal flap over the button and sealed it up again. Worked great!

我的建议

I didn't want to risk damaging the pinky button so I unscrewed it from the joystick. A bit of a pain to reconnect when I was done due to awkward angles but still recommended as it didn't risk damage from pulling on the wires. Also the screws in the side of the joystick are deep, a socket screwdriver will be very unlikely able to reach deep enough to get that screw out! Also some pieces are want to jump out when you crack it open, work over a large mat or sheet so you can find the pieces that spring loose!

我的问题

My early 2009 iMac was really lagging. I hated the ideas of buying a new one when most of the hardware was still in great shape. Therefore I decided to upgrade the hard drive to a solid state.

我的修理方法

Great! The performance has been fantastic and it really has given my computer and new life. Working slowly it took me about an hour and a half to replace the drive. The iFixit guide was very helpful.

我的建议

Make sure you have compressed air. When the LCD screen is removed it is a great opportunity to clean out some dust!

我的问题

A fonte do PS4 queimou apesar de estar conectada a um estabilizador. Acreditava ser uma atualização da Sony porém com uma chave p/ teste de corrente elétrica constatei que a energia não estava chegando aos conectores.

我的修理方法

Pelo vídeo do IFIX disponível no YouTube verifiquei como ocorria o reparo. Simples, rápido e sem traumas.

我的建议

Verificar qual o modelo da sua fonte: ADP-240AR, etc.

我的问题

I decided my new Macbook Pro needed a new Solid State Drive. Since I was going to be inside the case anyway I decided to put in a Data Doubler from OWC. A Data Doubler basically is used to replace your optical drive with a hard drive or SSD. The SSD upgrade went off without a hitch. The Data Double not so much. I used the wrong screwdriver to try to get the screws out of the DVD drive and stripped out the heads of two of the screws holding in the drive. I realized I should not have used a screwdriver with replaceable tips. This shank of the screwdriver hits the case of the drive. This causes the screwdriver to be tipped out of the screw head just a little. The screws actually had a little thread locking compound on them that also made the screws hard to remove. This caused me to strip the screws.

我的修理方法

The repair went really well. I ordered the screw extractor kit from iFixit, it showed up a couple of days later and with a little pressure and the right screw extractor the screws came out with no problem. I now have a Macbook with a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.

我的建议

Use the right tool for the job. I know, your father probably told you this a 1000 times when you were helping rebuild the small block Chevy engine in the garage, but it is also true for electronics repairs. The moral of this story is. Listen to your dad when he talks about tools and always look on iFixit when you need the right tool.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures, but any of the Macbook Pro guides on this site has tons of great pictures.
