Is your computer acting strange by randomly turning off, not booting, or running slow and you want to know if a board repair will fix your issue? Attached are pictures of what to test on a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Pro Retina. To test at this spot, grab a multimeter, set it to voltage mode, disconnect the battery, plug the computer in, put the red probe on either side of the circled part, and the black probe on the gold part of a screw hole. The values should read 8.6, 12.6 and 12.6 respectively. If it reads a different value such as 12.2, 12.4, 8.2, 8.4, 0 or something entirely different, you can be certain you have a board issue. If that's the case, send us a DM or give us a call and we can help fix the computer! Remember that being within +- .05V from the correct values is OK. If you are getting the correct value, you may still have a board issue, but should try troubleshooting other things first.
(We are not responsible for any damage you may do to your computer while measuring this. Only do it if you feel comfortable doing so.)

Is your iPhone's battery draining quickly? While Apple is currently offering battery replacements for $29, the problem with your device might not be the battery. If you've every had your screen replaced by someone besides Apple, the screen may be what's causing the battery to drain quickly. Cheap 3rd party screens (the ones that repair shops offer for less than $100) are sub par quality and usually will drain the battery quickly. Many 3rd party places will claim to be using OEM parts but really aren't. The only way to be sure you are getting an original display is to see an Apple logo on the display flex cable. If the repair shop won't show you this on the replacement screen, there's a good chance you're getting scammed into buying a screen that may degrade the performance or even damage your phone.

Have you ever been denied a warranty claim because a "warranty void if removed sticker" was damaged? According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the FTC, using those stickers to void a warranty is against federal law and it is your legal right for your device to be in warranty as long as it is not damaged accidentally or physically. If the company still refuses, take legal action by yourself or get together with others to file a class action lawsuit. Don't let any electronics company screw you over!

Do you need an iCloud lock removed from a device? Here's a couple of options for you:
1) return the device to the person you got it from. The majority of iCloud locked devices are stolen, so it's best to get it back to its original owner for them to unlock it for you or to return it if it was stolen.
2) If you have the original receipt/proof of purchase for the device, try taking it to an Apple Store and they might be able to help you out.
3) DO NOT use the 3rd party online iCloud unlock services. Over 99.9% of these are scams and you will not get your money back. There are some ways to bypass the iCloud lock, some of which may or may not be legal in the US depending on the method, however they all require physical access to the device. All "legal" methods to bypass it won't actually remove the lock, they will just skip the verification when the phone is set up, so the device will technically is still associated with the original account. There is no way to remove it permanently in the US, as the methods needed to remove it violate federal/state laws. Because of this we DO NOT offer iCloud unlock services.

Whenever buying a used device, ALWAYS make sure that iCloud lock is turned off and the IMEI of the device is clean. There are many free websites that will check this. You can find the IMEI of the device on the hello setup screen, in the settings, on the back of the device, and/or in the SIM tray depending on the device.
