iFixit

Dear sir,

After receiving (today, because they were delivered to me outside USA) my iFixit tools i was trying the magnetic mat and the pen that comes with it but when i opened the box the pen cap was fallen off and the pen was dry i guess because it was not writing neither on the mat nor on a printer paper.

I don't know if it's a normal thing and that i need to moisturize the pen with some tap water but I highly doubt it.

Please advise,
Thank you

Ordered an ifixit.com iPhone 6 plus replacement screen and received a screen that looks brand new but when powered on, a portion of the screen does not work. Had to reinstall the old screen which works better than the one ifixit.com sent to me. When I contacted ifixit.com to advise them of the problem with their screen, they advised that it had to have been damaged from installation and that it couldn't be a bad screen. Do not buy from this company.

I had been delaying replacing the battery in my MBP because it is the glued in type. Finally bought the kit and swapped it. It went very well and the kit included everything needed, including a pair of safety glasses. Overall the procedure took about 20 minutes- most of that was cleaning off the old glue residue with the left over solvent - be sure you have some left for that stage.

New battery is great- I didn't realize how much ch the old one has puffed up impinging on the track pad- It's like a new laptop now.

Tip- I used some dental floss to gently saw through the the old glue to speed up the process- but I could have been too impatient. Place the floss under each of the cells and slowly move it back and forth to the front of the laptop.

Tip 2- Place the far end of the laptop on something to elevate it to help the solvent move through the glue. Just a few centimeters/inch is enough.

Overall good kit.

Don't be deceived by the glitzing repair videos. If you order any parts from iFixit, be prepared to wait at least 6 weeks for delivery - possible 2 months. My story: I ordered iMac repair parts on March 15th, and paid $11.50 for US Postal First Class to Canada. Here I am, April 10th with no delivery. When I contacted iFixit, they told me to wait until 6 weeks have passed and then contact my post office to see if they can locate the item! What kind of companies this? The charge a high delivery cost, no tracking number, no customer support. Never again, and if you're thinking about ordering from them, beware.

My Macbook was dropped and the screen was cracked. Was nervous about replacing it myself, so I sent it off to a 3rd party for repair. The fix was mediocre, and started to fail soon after. After sending the MacBook back, they happily "fixed" the screen under warranty, but I quickly learned the age old lesson, if you want something done, do it yourself. I ordered a new screen assembly, then found the well priced tools on IFIXIT. After two hours following their free online walk through, my laptop was like new! Glad I made the investment and happy the IFIXIT resources are around so people can fix their stuff!

I ordered iPhone 6s plus display assembly with 3D touch and tools required to fix it. I feel that the assembly is overpriced compared to some other panels available in the market. The repair went well on my side and I double checked all the connections. However, the 3D touch feature does not work as well as it used to with the genuine display assembly. 3D touch is getting triggered even if I normally touch the display and it doesn't work sometimes when I force touch very hard.

I purchased a screen replacement for my 2015, 15" MacBook Pro, and the part arrived very quickly. The screen works like a charm; however, iFixit coated the screen with an aluminum paint in order to cover any scratches it may have had in the past. This would be fine if the screen I purchased wasn't classified as an "A" part. I'm sorry, but if you have to coat an entire screen to hide scratches before selling it, then that screen is definitely not a premium part. The only reason I didn't send it back is because the screen works, and the warranty is too good to pass up.

I ordered a trackpad for a mbp late 2012 thru ifixit which is super expensive compared to other places but I did it because I figured they would send the right part after tear down of computer and ready to install new trackpad the cable isn't long enough i could reuse the one that was already there but if it had been broken I would have been out of luck, super disappointed. If you are going to charge top dollar, I would exspect top quality.

Immediately (literally minutes) after having my iPhone 8 Plus from the Brunswick store, my screen touch was not working. I went back into the store and was told to "just reboot your phone if that happens again". I apprehensively said "Ok" as he seemed trustworthy and nice. However, 2 weeks later, my the touch screen has gone haywire and after repeated reboots it still does not work. I tap on one area and my whole screen does things as if it things im tapping like a madman. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. DO NOT GO TO THEM. Also, my screen cracked after 3 days and i did not even drop it. Worst experience ever. Never going back.

Sunil and his team are true professionals. He provided great directions to his shop, and patiently waited for my arrival. Once I arrived I was greeted with a masked smile (Covid-19 joke), and he listened intently to gather the details of my requests. The environment was clean, attractive by site, and generally comfortable. All the while, I was catered to for water, welcomed and directed to a clean restroom, and pleasantly entertained by an awesome 'Country & Western' playlist. Sunil and team provided me with an excellent and prompt, 'Customer Service and Knowledgeable Experience'. I will continue bringing my business here.
