Hi all, I have this iPad Mini that was brought to me for repair, broken front glass. It has been dead since I was given it...

Hi, followed the how to's on bypassing a blown backlight filter using a small dab of conductive paint. The iPad Mini...

Hi, I have this printer and I too had this problem, there seemed to be no paper stuck in there. I removed the two screws at the top rear and two screws at the top front behind the cartridge flap, this enables the whole of the top of the printer to be hinged up and back. On the right hand side there is a device which I think cleans the print head, it's covered in ink so you're going to get dirty hands. There was paper jammed in the gear mechanism on mine which couldn't be seen before. I removed all the paper but I still got the jammed message. I noticed that the gear mechanism on the head cleaner device was sticking, the white gear should disengage from the printer mechanism when the printer head moves away from the cleaning device. On mine it was staying engaged and jamming the printer,it was gummed up with ink. I cleaned the gear and mechanism with some brake and clutch cleaning solvent I had in the garage and lubricated with WD40. I worked the mechanism by hand for a while until it was free. I...

I have found that the majority of replacement batteries that are availabe are garbage, and it's a complete lottery on purchasing reliable ones.

You need to be very careful with any lithium type batteries. They can catch fire and are self oxidising so you will have trouble trying to extinguishing them. You should have disconnected the battery first from the iphone circuit board before trying to remove it. It sounds like your battery is definately toast now so you've got nothing to lose by trying a new one. Just be careful.

Connect to wifi and wait until the phone picks up the correct time and date, then select airpane mode on and then off, your network signal should then reappear.

Has it been dropped? The screens are very fragile, if you hold it up at a shallow angle can you see any lines or cracks anywhere on the screen underneath the glass?

Yes, sounds like you're going to have to replace the lcd panel. The good news is it's very easy to do on a 5C

Yes, have a go at repairing it yourself. They're really easy. Use a heat gun to soften the adhesive and be careful around the top right hand corner as the power button ribbon cable is easily damaged.

I doubt very much you'll have any luck with repairing that unfortunately.

If you had to remove the screen to change the speaker then you've more than likely broken the screen, they're VERY fragile. If you look at the screen at a shallow angle, you may see a faint crack in the lcd under the glass.

If the phone starts up with the old battery and not the new one then the new battery is definately the problem. I have had lots of issues with "new" batteries.
