Bij het opstarten zie ik wel het apple logo met opstartbalk, maar daarna blijft het scherm verder zwart, power led onderaan brand wel. Powerapdapter van deze 30” aangesloten op mijn 23” en krijg wel beeld! Adapter van de 23” werkt niet op de 30”, waarschijnlijk is de adapter van de 30” wel ok.

AirPort Time Capsule A1470: Time Capsule is overheating w/yellow flashing light

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:30:01 -0700

Has anyone successfully repaired a Time Capsule that's overheating all the time? The yellow light is always flashing and when I pull up AirPort Utility it says "this device may be overheating." The device does feel warm to the touch (not hot). I've called Apple and they say they can't fix it and won't replace it since it's not under warranty any longer. I'm considering cracking it open to see if cleaning out dust and whatnot might improve air circulation and fix the problem, but I'm curious if anyone else has done this before?

Apple Mighty Mouse: Mighty Mouse doesn't scroll down

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 09:14:39 -0700

The mighty mouse I use has been in use on various computers for a few years now.

I was using it to browse the web when the scrollball stopped scrolling down. It can still go up, left and right but when I scroll down it goes down and spins but there isn't the usual clicking noise and it doesn't do anything on-screen.

Can I fix it at all?

Apple Wireless Keyboard: Batteries corroded & stuck inside Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum)

The Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum) uses three AA batteries. One of the AA batteries in my keyboard is stuck inside due to corrosion. I've managed to strip down most of the keyboard, but I'm stuck with the final C-clip that is deep inside and I haven't got any tool to undo the C-clip. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Apple Thunderbolt Display: How can I fix my display blacking out intermittently?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:13:09 -0700

I've had the Apple Thunderbolt Display for a little more than a year, and it has started to intermittently go black for a few seconds at a time. When it does, I usually lose connection to my usb devices connected through the display. If I let it go on, it blanks more and more frequently until the system kernel panics.

So far, I've tried cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol. This made them more visually attractive, but did not solve the problem.

Second, I tried using another macbook pro, but it had the same issue.

I've noticed that the thunderbolt connector heats up significantly when it's in use. I'm wondering if there's a heat-related issue that could be causing a broken connection in the electronics inside the connector. Any thoughts?

Apple Keyboard: Some keys stopped working on Apple Wired Keyboard

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:52:42 -0700

Hey guys!

Can anyone help?

I have an Apple Wired USB Keyboard since 2013 and yesterday some keys stopped to work.

I didnt pay much attention, thought it was a momentary USB glitch, replugged it, and it seemed to help.

But today the trouble returned.

Keys "8", "I", "K", and "," are not working. As you can notice, they're all in a straight line. So it feels like some contact line is dead/malfunctioning.

No, I didnt spill any liquid. Its perfectly dry.

Googled it. Many users report the same problem here and there, but not the real remedy.

Apple's answers are as useless as they should be, deemed to housewives, a la "Check if your house has electricity". :)

If you can give a tech-savvy advice, please do.

PS: If you're going to say "Go buy a new one" - thank you in advance. :)

Magic Mouse 2: Fixing Magic Mouse 2 which stopped working on some normal surfaces

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:35:56 -0700

Hi,

Up until yesterday everything was fine, my Apple Magic Mouse 2 was working correctly on all surfaces.

Suddenly, the Magic mouse has stopped working on most regular surfaces and almost all fabrics (moving the mouse may move the cursor a little bit on these surfaces).

It does work on a transparent nylon, a very soft fabric (EDIT: 100% polyester) and on a leather couch and a specific part of my bare knee. (everything else like touch gestures works).

What is the reason for this? the optical sensor?

I already tried cleaning the optical sensor with a cloth, connecting it to another mac and removing the mouse preferences files with no luck.

Thanks :)
