Apple MagSafe2 Power Adapter: riparazione connettore cavo alimentazione magsafe

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 03:40:25 -0700

Buongiorno! Esiste una guida per capire se il pezzo in foto è aggiustabile o meno? mi disturberebbe buttare il cavo quando credo si possa riparare una volta aperto e sistemati i cavi... ma non so come sia stato chiuso il connettore, se a pressione o incollato...

grazie in anticipo

Apple iPod Hi-Fi: Aux in non funziona, ma tutto il resto funziona correttamente.

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 12:23:18 -0700

Possiedo 2 Apple iPod Hi-Fi uno funzionante al 100% mentre l'alto funziona tutto correttamente ad eccezione dell'ingresso audio con il cavo.
Ho provato a sostituire la presa del jack e il cavo con quelli dell'altro speaker ma ma ancora non funziona.

Ho provato a scambiare la scheda dell'amplificatore (820-1770-A) e con quella funziona quindi deduco che il problema sia la scheda dell'amplificatore.

Visto che tutto il resto funziona mi chiedevo se ci fosse un modo di capire cosa nella scheda si è rotto e non lo fa funzionare.

Il connettore visivamente non sembra presentare danni così come il resto della scena non presenta danni evidenti.

Se qualcuno riesce a indicarmi qualche componente da sostituire oppure riesce a consigliarmi un'amplificatore compatibile per sostituirlo (gli amplificatori originali sono difficili da trovare e costano molto).
Se avete delle soluzioni per bypassare il problema vi sarei grato.

PS. io avevo pensato di collegare i cavi dell'AUX in all'ingresso denominato iPod dock sulla scheda ma non ho idea se la cosa possa funzionare e non so nemmeno come si faccia. Mi affido a voi.

Grazie.

Apple Cinema HD Display: Problemi con cinema display 30"

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 08:05:22 -0700

Buongiorno a tutti.

Ho un problema con il mio 30” cinema display. In breve, non posso più connettere al Mac Pro i cavi usb e firewire per replicarle dietro il monitor in quanto, appena tento di collegarle al MAc Pro, il monitor si spegne. Nessun problema se stacco i cavi usb e firewire. Ho letto un post del 2015 dove si invitava a provare a staccare i cavi usb e firewire per vedere se il problema si risolveva ma nulla. Appena collego usb e firewire il monitor si spegne così come il led. Qualcuno ha avuto lo stesso problema?

Apple iSight Webcam: Perchè non funziona con Thunderbolt Firewire 800 e Adattatore 800-400

Wed, 23 May 2018 14:20:41 -0700

Collegato la webcam iSight Firewire a MacBook Air 11” 2011 con cavo Thunderbolt 800 9 pin e adattatore 400 6 pin

La spia della webcam si accende qualche attimo poi si spegne con il classico rumore della messa a fuoco.

Nel riepilogo di sistema la webcam non compare.

È un problema di software o di hardware? Qualcuno ha esperienza e risolto?

Grazie per l’attenzione e l’aiuto che potrete darmi.

Buona giornata.

Apple Thunderbolt Display: No Display but Sound and Camera are Working

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 20:47:11 -0700

I have a thunderbolt display that does not display a picture when connected nor does it come up in the settings, display window. However checking the system report it does recognize the display. It will allow me to select the camera on the display and audio will play through the display but not picture. I have replaced the function cable but no change. Would you goes lean towards the display or the logic board as the issue now? I have tried this display on a mac mini late 2012 and MacBook Pro Early 2011.

Magic Trackpad 2: I have a Magic Trackpad 2 with a swelling lithium battery

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 02:02:53 -0700

Is there a replacement battery available for the Lithium Ion battery in my Magic Trackpad 2?

I recognize that this swelling is a potential fire hazard.

Further information: The battery is a TIS 2217-2548 Apple South Asia (Thailand) Limited Product, Lithium Ion Polymer Battery

Another question: Will the Magic Trackpad 2 operate with the battery disconnected or removed as long as it is plugged into my MacBook system?

Apple Wireless Keyboard: [SOLVED] Keyboard turns on but doesn't type (anything)

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 02:36:04 -0700

Hey guys!

So, I bought this A1314 keyboard off of the flea market. And I'm not sure whether this issue I'm having is hardware or software.

The problem is that the keyboard turns on, enters pairing mode, but I can't type anything on it. And, as far as I understood, you need to type the PIN code for BT pairing from the actual keyboard itself, which I can't since none of the keys work.

I tried the Caps Lock key and it doesn't light up. So...pretty sure it's a general issue. The question is: is this hardware or software? I couldn't find this issue online, so I decided to open a new topic for it, in case other people have the same issue.

Also, is there a way to reset it...? Under BT settings on my Mac, it still shows up with the previous owner's name on it. I tried long pressing the Power button, but....no success. It turns on, LED light starts blinking twice, which I'm guessing means it's in pairing, but...when trying to connect it to my Mac, it shows the PIN I should input, but looks like nothing happens when typing and pressing the Enter key.

The keys don't seem to be sticky or anything, so I don't think there has been water (or at least anything sugary) spelled on it. But yeah, right now, I can't type anything on it.

Any idea?

Update: this seems to be hardware after all.

Problem:

Big Sur UI highlights each keystroke so if one of the keys required for pairing don't work, you can easily see it. Too bad this hasn't been kept on newer versions of MacOS.

So, in this case, the problem was indeed hardware, it was just some of the keys not registering anymore.

Magic Mouse 2: The top casing feels "loose", any way to fix it?

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 06:43:29 -0700

Ever since i got my Magic Mouse 2, the top plastic casing has felt kinda "loose" and a bit wobbly, so every time i loosely click it or run my fingers over it, it does not feel good.

Is there any way to fix this, apart from buying a completely new one?

Apple LED Cinema Display 27": PLEASE HELP! Problem getting stand back into the display.

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 21:46:56 -0700

Hello! I have an Apple Cinema Display and we had to remove the stand for transport when moving. Long story, doesn't matter. Anyway! We removed the stand, no problem. I slipped a credit card in, click, the hinge came out and we unscrewed it, all good.

I went to put the stand back on, and the hinge is back inside the monitor. Must have happened while in transport. I cannot seem to get it back out. I've tried a card at a 45 degree angle while using a siding removal tool to lift the hinge from the center button and it will only come up flush, not come all the way out, AND it requires a fair amount of pull to get it to come that far. Not enough to break anything, but a bit of force.

Everything I've read said that I should be able to insert a card bent with a 45° angle and just hit the little latch and bring the hinge out again but I just cannot seem to make it work. Wondering if the community has any ideas. My last ditch would be to actually remove the glass and take apart the monitor to release the hinge and I don't wanna have to go through all that if possible.

I uploaded a video that shows what I mean here: https://youtube.com/shorts/Jt1xTgI1XdY?f...

Thanks for any help!

Apple LED Cinema Display: 24" LED Cinema Display flickers then dies (A1267)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:29:35 -0700

Greetings,

I am looking for some help with my 6-year old ACD. It works for about 2-3 seconds when turned on, then flickers and dies. This happens regardless of whether it is plugged into my MacBook or Mac Mini.

Using a flashlight, I can still see my desktop on the screen, but it is extremely dark. The other features (MagSafe charger, speakers & iSight) are all working fine.

Going through the questions here, this seems like a pretty common problem, however the answers are conflicting and confusing - some people say the logic board is toast, others say the backlight is dead, and I've even read something about the backlight being part of the logic board (what??) which is faulty.

Can somebody please confirm exactly what is wrong, and the replacement part I'd need to buy? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Magic Trackpad 2: Magic Trackpad 2 no longer responding nor appearing anywhere

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 06:26:08 -0700

I have recently found my old Magic Trackpad 2 and upon plugging it in to charge, nothing happened, I assumed the battery just needed time to charge but to my disappointment leaving it to charge while at work wasn't sufficient to get any sort of life from it.

I assume the battery is dead and the charging circuit doesn't want to charge it due to it being critically low but im looking for alternative answers instead of opening it up for now

Apple wired aluminum keyboard (extended): Apple Extended Keyboard Repair Advice

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 23:11:58 -0700

I have an Apple Extended Keyboard, which works pretty well, except for the W key.

If I apply very little force, it sometimes does not work, maybe two out of ten strokes. If I apply excessive force, it works every time.

What is the recommended way to troubleshoot this type of issue? I removed the keycap, but didn't see anything obvious, such as signs of spilled liquid or excessive grime.

Apple Thunderbolt Display: buzzing / Noise. Power supply issue?

Fri, 22 May 2026 05:29:19 -0700

Hi.

A friend have a problem with his 27" Thunderbolt display. Is it really annoying buzzing sound. My first guess would be the power supply??

The display in functioning OK, but that noise is killing the entire office.

How is the front glass attached? Glue? Can't see that in the break down guide.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Here is a video of the issue.

Apple LED Cinema Display: Black Screen with Sound

Thu, 14 May 2026 07:07:10 -0700

I used to have my Mac Mini (2009 edition) connected to my living room tv. Since we recently upgraded the surround sound, I was wanting to connect it back to my 24" cinema display in the office, but when I connected everything and powered on, I'm not getting any picture. Just a black screen. I've done minor troubleshooting using my Mini and my Air. The mini still connects fine via mini display port to my tv, and my air will transfer sound to the cinema display via the usb. Is there a way to determine if the display port connection on the all-in-one cable to the cinema display is bad? Or at this point am I forced into trial and error with swapping out parts? Please let me know if you have any ideas. Trying not to buy a new display in new parts. >.<
