Chosen Solution I do not know why but my phone is not charging even though I have it pluged in Dustin Houk, The battery, cable/charger or charge port may be faulty damaged.

Chosen Solution My rear tire is tilted in on the top. What causes this? Can it be fixed? That is called negative camber. Negative camber is when the top of the tire tucks inwards. For a road going car you typically want to maintain a slight amount of negative camber (1 – 2 Degrees) to improve road handling.

Chosen Solution A teacher from my high school came to me with her MagSafe2 charger for her MacBook Air and asked me why it is yellowing. Is this dangerous to the point where I should give her a new one or is it just grime/dirt. If it is grime/dirt how would I go about cleaning it? I’d tell her to replace it because there is clearly several nicks in the insulation/cover on that wire… perhaps the wiring underneath is damaged from being coiled up or cut or whatever....

I can call and text on Wi-Fi but the data doesn’t work. I would advise on using the phone as you are now.

Chosen Solution Hello people of ifixit I was wondering if I changed the hard drive motherboard with another hard drive motherboard would I lose any data. Why are you doing this? What are the symptoms? Do you have a back-up of its contents? If it is exactly the same model it COULD possibly work but no promises. Now you tell us! SATA and IDE do not mix.

Chosen Solution Hi there, I have an iPhone 6s 64GB I purchased knowing the speaker and vibrate were not working, so I purchased parts and replaced them, but that has not solved the problem. Additionally I found the microphone wasn’t working either. I was wondering whether the last resort would be to replace the mother/logic board on the device, and if this would make any difference? Thanks you definitely want to check first and foremost if it is water damage, does the charging port work?...
