Hello again! I installed a new iFixit trackpad today. The good news is that it functions. Nevertheless, I use trackpads by...

Hi There! The Set Screw under my trackpad is immovable. I have not dremelled it, or drilled into it, because of its...

I have sound from both speakers. If the volume is low, it is almost as if both speakers work with no sound distortion....

This is an expensive solution, but if you are doing a lot of tiny sight-intensive work, I highly recommend CraftOptics. The folks there are super helpful, and will devise a pair of magnifying glasses that include your prescription. The glasses also have an optional LED light that I find indispensable, which attaches to the glasses and runs off of a rechargeable battery pack. There are other solutions, but I find these magnifying glasses to be the best to see with, easiest to wear, and with them I can see better than I ever imagined.

It would help to show how the parts fit together as is done with the fan cable connector. Those instructions (the fan cable connector instructions), helped me better understand what I was prying apart and gave me an idea of how best to do it, and how the speaker/subwoofer cable connector connected to the board, as well as how to position the “pads.”

So, I learned from my mistake, which is a good thing. Nonetheless, I would have preferred to learn BEFORE I snapped off the cable connector, LOL!

Thanks Again for this incredible site.
