Hey Jerome! Thanks for pointing this out! We are looking into this issue, and it does appear that that step got left out. We will get right on updating the guide as soon as possible. Thanks for keeping us honest! Jake

The people I know who have been successful at this (and they REALLY have been successful!) focus mostly on iPhone 4 and 4S repairs, then 3GS repairs, then i5 repairs. Since the iPhone 5 is still less than a year old, many people are covered under Apple Care, so most repairs need to be done on older devices. Screens are BY FAR the most prominent repairs. Most of your clients will have shattered their screens. If you intend to stick with this business idea for awhile, you really can't go wrong with stocking up on 4S, 4, and 3GS screens (with the most repairs likely coming from the 4S). i5 screens are good to have, but they are more expensive, and as I said earlier, may not pay off as much. As for other repairs, the most common ones will likely be as follows (in descending order): iPhone 4/4S Rear Panel iPhone 4/4S Battery iPhone 3GS Battery iPhone 4/4S Home Button iPhone 4/4S Dock Connector Ideally, you would have every part in stock, but realistically, stocking up on screens, rear panels, some batteries,...

Hey Stevenmyth, Unfortunately the two camera assemblies are slightly different. Even if the connectors were compatible (which I am not sure of), the cables from the connector to the camera in each are different shapes, so the new camera would not sit in the same spot, and the device would not be able to fit back together. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Hope this helps!

Hello again, Mr. Turkey! Sorry it took us so long to check out your guides! We were crazy last week with the release of that one Apple product… Anyways, the guide looks awesome; thanks a bunch! Here are a few critiques as you continue to add spectacular content to our site! These first few critiques will be for the device page. The summary is spot-on in terms of brevity and usefulness. Props! All of the information contained in the main sections of the device page is pertinent information but all falls mostly under the header of Tech Specs. In the Background and Identification section, we tend to include more information on the release of the device, the main selling points of the device, and the way(s) to distinguish this device from similar devices. Lastly, the device picture is very clear and in the perfect 4:3 aspect ratio. The only thing we would do is put it on a white background and adjust the lighting to better illuminate the device. These next critiques will be for the repair guide, itself, which...

A hairdryer certainly has the capability of loosening the adhesive in many displays. Generally, if a heat gun can get the job done, a hairdryer can, as well. Just be careful not to overheat/damage the device. I'd recommend starting with a low setting to try to loosen the adhesive. If that doesn't cut it, try upping the temperature a bit. Since hairdryers are not specifically designed for this, the temperature regulation might not be quite up to snuff with the heat gun, but if you are careful it can most certainly work. Hope this helps!

Hey sdesai, According to Apple, three beeps means that "no RAM banks passed memory testing." Check out the response on this forum for some troubleshooting information for this problem. The first thing you will want to do is reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and reset the PRAM. Then follow the instructions in that forum to troubleshoot the problem. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes!

Hey Phil, looking through those edits, everything looks good. I see no reason why they should have been denied. It was most likely just a mistake on my part (clicking to Deny All instead of Accept All. Those darn buttons are right next to each other). Thank you for the edits; I will go back and reimplement them. Keep up the good work and thanks for contributing!

Fixing water damage on a MacBook is rather impossible, assuming that the previous owner most likely shorted the logic board by failing to cut power to it. The same thing happened to mine a year ago (R.I.P. Logic Board). Luckily Apple was feeling generous and repaired it for free, but the cost of the new parts would have been upwards of 700 dollars. However, fixing one that is broken in other ways could be a lot more doable, inexpensive, and fun!

Hey Paul, I'd love to clear up all your concerns. In a nutshell, you most certainly can install an SSD as a second drive in your Mid 2011 Mac Mini. The guide for your Mini actually is showing how to install a second hard drive. In the beginning of the guide, you are removing the first hard drive to get to the spot where you can install the second one. As you progress through the guide, we show you how to install the second hard drive. As with all of our guides, you must then follow it in reverse to reassemble the device. During this reassembly, you will reinstall the first hard drive on top of the second one. As for Apple not selling a dual hard drive edition of this size Mini, your assumptions are absolutely correct. However, we installed a second one on the exact same model that you have and it worked beautifully. Hope this helps!

Thanks for holding down the fort overnight, guys . I will go check out the flags you made and remove all of the spam answers.
