SOLVED! turns out the problem was that the original LCD display was a dead duck that did not work though the backlight did, the replacement secondhand LCD in "perfect working condition" that I got online was just as dead but the (third time lucky) LCD cannibalised from a dead donor Macbook...

Exactly, thanks for your reply. This is why I am reluctant to invest in another replacement screen! Instead I got it out and put the original display back on again that was not a bad idea, as I found out that with a bit of fiddling around the backlight in the original display started to work -...

Like many other users I got thousands of kilometers and many good memories out of my trusty mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" unibody - until the LCD screen died. However the old nag continues to work just fine with an external monitor and correctly reports: "Intel HD Graphics 1024MB graphics" as well as...

If I understand right spilling coffee on a Macbook Air can seriously damage the keyboard or other hardware components. How likely is it that the innards of the hard drive would be effected so badly that data stored on the hard drive would also be lost?

Thanks for your reply. My main concern about fixing up the old one is I figure that it is a bit tricky to replace the data cable that is the most likely explanation for the black screen (which sometimes flickers a bit just as the power comes on, and responds to +/- brightness adjustment)...

My much-loved 13” mid-2012 MacBook Pro works fine - but is stuck on a black screen (probably display cable damaged) so waits to be fixed. I also have a 13” Late-2008 MacBook that i want to use until I get the chance to Repair my mid-2012 MacBook. My question is, would there be any...

Thanks for this useful advice! The connection between the camera and the monitor is wireless, using what the company calls SEL pairing that I fear has something to do with encryption? I did see an almost identical generic Made in China wireless camera with a free smartphone app for sale on...

I just got a very nice secondhand reverse camera kit for my camper - but its 7" LCD TFT screen is smashed, as if someone hit it with a hammer (probably due to poor packing) so one option I am considering since I like the kit is to replace the LCD panel? Before even thinking about trying to do...

Thanks Alabalcho for your reply. I have found a few apps that would enable me to connect iphone to macbook via network but hope to find a solution that would be reliable to use in remote places with unreliable wifi network, so continue to look

Hello, I see there are apps that enable an iphone to display the screen of a macbook and control it via wifi, but would like to know if there is also a way this can be done with the iphone hooked up to the macbook via a USB cable? The reason is: I am interested in using my old digital camera...

I am trying to edit 4K video on my desktop computer with 550W PSU but the external 1000VA power regulator shuts down without warning. I had thought the problem was due to irregular power supply. But could it be the computer is drawing more power than the regulator can supply, causing the...

Thanks BMW, your cautionary reply gave me confidence to just plug it in and much to my surprise there was no smoke, everything works fine! (-:

Hi, I have a small Sony 4xAA 100-240V battery charger with a two-tube female electrical socket that I want to take on a trip. I also have an L-shaped two-tube male to two-pin male adapter (leftover from an old Macbook power supply) thats fits exactly in the female socket of the charger, which is...

Hi, I am trying to charge a 12V Quantum Turbo battery with a female DIN connector socket. To do this I have just bought a 12V Bolt BO 1010 charger with the same size male DIN plug as my battery. It is only just now when I opened the box the charger came in and tried to connect it with my battery...
