Hello,

My dad has a damaged screen iPad, I have no idea what the model is.
Any idea how much would it cost to go for replacement of the screen? Apple store, or outside 3rd party.

If the grounding is not there, or you are not grounded using power cord. Also at times is static, not electrical charges from the battery or main.

When you are on battery only, it's possible. If you are using the charger with power cord, but your socket pins have no grounding, it's possible. That is why you are encouraged to plug in and using chargers with metal grounding pin.

hi all, the question that I want to ask have probably been asked several times, just looking for some assurance..

I'm keen on getting a MBP 2017 (non Touch Bar version, just don't like the gimmicky Touch Bar). and seems like its already sold out in all the stores, hence the only way of getting it is via apple refurbished.

how is the quality of the refurbished products? do they really run out that fast as some reported?

thanks a bunch:)

Hi, did you solve this problem? It could be a dim screen issue.
Have you tried shining a torch light onto your monitor?

I think they do have a trade-in program.
Does your company have any such program w Apple?

Hey guys, I've got an old Macbook Air (late-2013 model) which recently had a dead battery.

Would you guys recommend sending it back to Apple to repair ($188), or is it cheaper/ easy to DIY?
