I am a Bit Warrior and a member of iFixit's Customer Support team. I serve the great people of the internet and our lovely Central Coast area locals. I am the Acting Resident Doorman and Greeter at iFixit and would love to hear of your repair successes!

Outside of iFixit, I'm a video game designer and U.S. Army Infantry Veteran (OIF 07-08, OND 11-12), so I like to do what I can for both communities in particular.

Based on this video, it appears the fixer is using a Spanner bit. Unsure of the size. You can find three of our Spanner bits (in 4mm for your driver) here: iFixit Precision 4 mm Screwdriver Bit
Responder a:How to remove head phone jack from alienware 17x r2 12/04/18
iFixit sells a tool which can remove broken headphone jacks. It's called the GripStick, and you can find it here: GripStick Headphone Plug Extraction Tool This is designed for professional repair techs who have become familiar with the process over time, so it can be tricky to use at first. Occasionally, the GripStick needs to be pinched slightly near the tip in order to fit, but they do require a bit of skill and finesse to use them successfully. Please note that the GripStick does not have any warranty whatsoever, so there's no guarantee it'll remove the broken bit in your computer, and no returns are accepted.
Responder a:Old Battery Disposal after replacement? 09/02/18
Thanks for your question and interest in being responsible for your old batteries! iFixit prefers that our customers take their old batteries to their local battery recycling facility for proper dispoal. You can find one by doing a quick internet search for "battery recycling facility" and including your zip/postal code or city name in the search. Alternatively, there is a handy website that we recommend folks use to find a battery drop-off location if you live far away from an actual recycling facility. Check out http://call2recycle.org and plug in your zip/postal code. This will show you all of the registered drop-off locations near you. Whatever you choose to do, we sincerely hope that you do not dispose of your old batteries in the trash. We try to do our part to keep electronics, especially batteries, from being added to the landfills across the planet. I hope this helps!
Responder a:Just replaced the battery with a new one from IFIXIT 20/11/17
Hi Henrik, If you purchased this battery, then the manufacture date is likely correct and cannot be changed. These are OEM batteries, made by Apple, around 2012-2013. If you are encountering any isses with the battery you received, we recommend contacting our Support teams directly: iFixit US: http://help.ifixit.com/collection/130-contact-us iFixit Europe: http://ifixit-eu-de.helpscoutdocs.com/ I hope this helps!
Responder a:Why does my phone randomly shut off? 24/10/17
Hi Greg! I understand you purchased a new battery from iFixit! Thanks for your order! Sorry to hear you're encountering trouble after your repairs. If I may ask, what was the reason for your repairs, and was this issue occurring with the previously installed battery? If you're able to reinstall the older battery and not encounter this same issue, then I'd suggest contacting our Customer Support team through this Help page here. They'll be able to either offer additional troubleshooting steps to see if they can get that battery working correctly, or get a replacement out to you.
Responder a:What firmware is on the replacement motherboards for the ps vita slim 14/08/17
Unfortunately, we do not log or test the firmware version of the PS Vita Slim motherboards that we sell. If you like, you can order the part, put it into your device, and if the firmware is not the one that you desire, you may return the part to us without worry.
Responder a:about to change battery-help!? 19/05/17
Hi Sharon, While the teardown is helpful in illustrating how to completely disassemble your tablet, for part replacements we recommend using the respective replacement guide. In this case, here is the battery replacement guide I've found on iFixit: Nexus 7 2nd Generation Battery Replacement I hope this helps!
Responder a:Is there a default or generic email password that can be used for fact 19/05/17
Hi there, Bailey, That's a great question! I'm not certain if performing a factory reset will allow you to create a new user account for that DigiLand tablet, as I have never used one before, but if you'd like to give it a shot you can check out this link: DigiLand DL1010Q Troubleshooting "you can try resetting the device by gently inserting a small object, like a paper clip in to the port labeled "Reset", pushing down for 5-10 seconds." I hope this helps!
Responder a:Head phoneport has piece stuck in it. How can we remove it 19/05/17
Cameron linked a great guide, so I recommend checking that out. If that doesn't help clear up your headphone jack, iFixit sells a tool just for this purpose, called a GripStick. GripStick Headphone Plug Extraction Tool Please be advised of the warranty and return policy of this tool, though, as there's a possibility this won't work for you. It's sold As-Is, and comes with no guarantees to clear up your clogged headphone jack. It also can be tricky to use properly, so I recommend watching the associated video on the product page.
Responder a:Why is my nintendo ds lite not charging and doesn't turn on? 19/05/17
Hi, Erik! Like many small devices that fit in our pockets, purses, backpacks and other places, sometimes lint, hair, dust and debris finds a way into your device, always taking the path of least resistance. One tip I have is to shine a light inside the charging port on your DS to see if there's any junk clogging it up. If you notice any lint or debris, try using a toothpick or some small, non-metallic object to pick that stuff out. You can also try spraying compressed air into the charging port to help break any debris up, as it might be packed in there pretty good from all the times you've inserted the charging cable. I hope this helps!

MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2013 Battery Replacement 21/03/18

Hi Jeremy,

Sorry to hear of your situation. I have replied to the email you sent our Support team. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope this does not deter you from performing repairs in the future.

All the best,
Google Pixel XL Display Assembly Replacement 20/03/18

Hi Drew, sorry to hear that your iOpener didn’t work too well in your repairs. We like to think it’s a pretty valuable and inexpensive tool, but it does have its quirks — namely, not everyone’s microwave is specced to operate at the same temperatures, so not everyone will achieve the most optimal temperature during that heating process.

For what it’s worth, we do put a Lifetime Warranty on the iOpener tools, so our Support team would be happy to replace that one for you, if you’d like. If so, please reach out to them by using the Contact link on the help page: http://help.ifixit.com. Otherwise, you are welcome to request a refund via Amazon and we will oblige.

We wish you all the best in your future repairs.
How to replace the battery in your iPhone 5s 23/02/18

Thank you for your feedback! We have a video that offers tips and tricks on removing battery adhesive from the existing battery, and how we recommend installing new battery adhesives. You can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xthi6DOx...

At this time only our fix kits include the adhesive and the part-only option is just the battery by itself. The part-only option is typically chosen by users who do battery repairs on a regular basis and already have adhesive (and tools) on hand. For quick reference, we carry custom-shaped adhesive separately here. Alternatively, you may be able to find something similar to this from a local hardware store which can do the job as well.
