Diezgan daudzi no mums ir iecienījuši apple produkciju un lieto to ikdienā. Bet tehnika ir tehnika tā mēdz sabojāties, vai paši sabojājam. PC detaļas var nopirkt katrā datorveikalā un interneta veikalā, bet ar Mac un iPhone ir sarežģītāk, jo tie skaitās premium klases produkti un nav tik populāri plašām tautas masām. Tad ja Tev , kas ir atgadījies ar savu Mac , iPod vai iPhone, tad visu to vienuviet var iegādāties interneta veikalā www.ifixit.com , cenas ir pieņemamas.

Iphone a pezzi

Let's face it, you want an iPhone 3G @ 199. However most of us who's interested in buying one were put off by a number of unknowns, insane service rates (ex. Rogers.ca), rumors flowing around on the internet and in the news. I myself for one puzzled at uncountable mysteries and wondered how I would be able to procure such great product at a fair price.

I have gathered locally scouted first-hand information on the subject and a number of useful links that'd help you get started.

cost

• Canada: Rogers (and subsequently Fido) demands 3 year contract, sign up the protest
• Hong Kong: official carrier 3 tricks customers into paying premium (so-called prepayment) $4680-$5680 in every available service plan upon picking up the phone, plus a 2-year contract. Lottery system to draw out first 500 'lucky customers' what are we 8?
• marked up iPhone 3G at Sin Tat $9800 - $10300 (Jul 21) for 16GB, unlocked sim, tested, worked with any 2G/3G sim. Limited quantity

what you need

• Apps store: incredible free & inexpensive lifestyle and professional apps available as we speak, follow here, iTunes 7.7 required
• mobile me: previously known as .mac, powerful online utility tool, push service, you have to see it to believe it

Johnny, first dork (sorry) in the world to have gotten the phone.

The Atascadero, Calif.-based Mac and iPod parts shop flew a technician to Auckland, New Zealand, to buy one of the first Apple (AAPL) iPhone 3Gs when they went on sale July 11 at 12:01 a.m. local time.

No sooner had he unpacked it than he immediately set to work taking it apart.

You can follow the somewhat unsettling sequence of events -- dirty fingernails and all -- here.

Got a old iPod that the screen broke? Or just wont turn on? Well this AWESOME company called iFixit fixes ANY Mac you give them, either it be in a mail in repair, or a in home repair and you do it yourself with easy to follow instructions! No one can beat there prices. Apple charges way to much for a broken iPod screen, so lets say $300 for a broken iPod video screen and iFixit only charges $39.95! Same screen as well if not looking better! All you have to do is install it yourself or take it to a Mac Genius store or a store that can install stuff like that (additional charges though). So what are you waiting for? They sell ANYTHING on there website that you can install yourself in your own home!!! So visit http://www.ifixit.com/ and start fixing all your iPods, and Macs!

1. You could call Apple and they'll charge you $200 or $250 depending on the capacity of your iPhone. They do not cover physical screen damage in their warranty. The screens are the same for both capacities (4 and 8 gigs) but they make money off you that way. But if you're not in the States, you're not going to get it done.

2. You could choose to buy a screen and digitizer for roughly $250 dollars and try to replace it yourself. The process is risky and could permanently damage your iPhone if you're not super careful and use the exact tools mentioned.TechKnowSpace does it for $209 in Canada in 90 minutes. Most of you will think you could just buy a new phone. Don't! A new phone may set you back as little as $450 (US) to $700. It's worth getting the screen replaced. You could choose to replace it yourself by ordering the product at PDA Parts and follow this video to disassemble your phone:

Note that this video only shows you the disassembly not the reassembly.

Alternatively, you could purchase the stuff from iFixIt which also provides other parts for the iPhone.

3. You could go out on a limb and try to replace the screen yourself for about $5, although the price may vary slightly. You may find that tutorial at Ars Technica.

La community francese di Gizmodo, il popolare network che si occupa di gadget hi-tech, dopo aver essa stessa "dilaniato" il nuovo Macbook Air, riporta che anche quelli di iFixit.com hanno disassemblato il nuovo ultra-portable di Apple (link alla notizia). E si è scoperto che - ma va'!? - alcuni dettagli costruttivi sono in comune con quelli di iPod e iPhone. Ecco alcune caratteristiche salienti:

• 88 viti;
• 16 banchi di RAM in 2 colonne da 8;
• Il controller multitouch è esattamente lo stesso degli iPhone e iPod Touch;
• Il display LCD è spesso 3 mm e il pannello pesa in tutto 465 grammi;
• L'hard disk è poggiato su di un pannello in schiuma e dei pad in gomma, come l'iPod;
• L'hard disk è lo stesso dell'iPod nella versione da 80 GB;

Ecco alcune altre foto dell'operazione.

Le cose principali degne di nota sono che l’hard disk Samsung da 80GB è un modello leggermente meno voluminoso rispetto a quello montato negli iPod Classic e che il connettore MegSafe è ruotato di 90 gradi per adattarsi meglio all’estrema sottigliezza del portatile. Il caricabatterie da 45W è il più piccolo mai prodotto per un Mac Intel.
La notizia top invece è che è presente il Broadcom BCM5974, chip che assiste alle funzioni legate al multitouch nel trackpad, e che è lo stesso presente anche nell’iPhone. Questa scelta progettuale lascia aperte molte porte per Apple ma anche per i suoi utenti. Nulla vieta infatti che in futuro nuove funzionalità possano venire implementate per mezzo di semplici aggiornamenti software.

como tudo que a apple faz, é um exemplo de organização, e é todo bonitinho até por dentro.

Having decided to take the plunge, I needed to pick a hard drive and learn how to install it. Enter PB FixIt. This site is fantastic. They have walk-throughs for all of the common maintenance and upgrades for all PowerBook and iBook models, including a list of the tools required before getting started. Even better: if you're like me and don't know a Spudger from a T6 Torx Screwdriver, they let you purchase the tools directly from them! It was so convenient, I went ahead and ordered the three tools I'd need for the job. They arrived just two days later.

I poked around a picked out the Hitachi TravelStar 7K100 (which was just reviewed in a notebook drive round-up) as my new hard drive. I also ordered a MacAlly 2.5" external case to house the 80GB drive I'll be taking out of my laptop. When those arrive, I will walk through the procedure and let you know how it all turns out.
