iFixit: Not so much a question, but a big thank you all...

Mon, 11 Dec 2017 06:16:39 -0700

Hi all you iFixit's...

It's hard even to get my "question" here, already when typing my "device" and "title" - iFixit "Ask a Question" already puts in suggestions to solve my question as I type...

Just gotten your lovely "Thank you" mail from iFixit, I wanna give something back!

It started some years ago, my old Travelmate 6592G started to get - well -old, and at the about that time my best friend of mine got cancer, got operated, got well, and suddenly - he was in need of a PC who could handle all the internet, customers and what not in his shop - the world turns, and so does everything else... "Borrow my old laptop old friend, it'll do the work for you mate".

Well, it did, and he still does, however, "Listen old friend, your battery is kinda worn, so I¨ll get you a new one before you get your laptop back, and its overheating kinda fast...".

The battery we quickly fixed with help from the internet, and he got me a new one, however - the overheating persisted, and this is where iFixit comes to the rescue!

The two of us both being technicians, we found iFixit, found the instructions on how to take apart my old Travelmate, clean it for dust all the right places, apply new heat transferring paste, put it all together again, and start it up again monitoring the temperatures with the small programme I installed, we all had a happy Saturday afternoon, my friend, me and my son.

After that of course came my daughters broken iPhone (my sons twin), my good colleagues iPhone, and - well - whats next...

All in all, couldn't be what I am without you lovely iFixit¨s!

Thank you, and hope to give you all back soon....and a happy christmas.

Jens.

iFixit: Ifixit driver swivel cap keeps coming off

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 22:02:53 -0700

Love my Ifixit tool kit. The driver swivel cap came off last week and now it keeps unscrewing while I am using it. So I have to check it every 5 minutes and screw it back on. I use this for my job as a computer field service tech. It gets used a lot.

iFixit: 4mm Bit extension options?

Sat, 22 Nov 2025 00:03:16 -0700

Hello,

My BF had gotten me the 54 Bit Driver Kit from Ifixit years back as a gift and I've lost count on how much money it's made me between my two jobs and my moonlighting, but I recently got into more miscellaneous electronic repair and scrapping and a lot of the stranger devices/appliances require a longer/thinner driver than the Ifixit one. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, durable extender that doesn't add much thickness, or even a different longer driver that I can also carry with me?

Thanks,

Derek.

Fast Fix: Attaching welding wire to cinder blocks with no drilling

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 22:03:03 -0700

How can I attach a welding wire to a raised bed built out of cinder blocks while preserving wire's conductivity. The wire is attached to 9 v battery. I was thinking of using silicone adhesive used for pottery, but I am not sure if this will stop the flow of electricity? I do not want to drill nor use concrete nails. Looking for glue on solutions. Anyone know if product like Sugru would work for this purpose? Thank you.

I have two Philips head screws on the shell of my laptop, I got one out with ease and the other I could not get out.

iFixit: Is there anything I can do about this?

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 12:47:08 -0700

I have noticed that many devices get miscatagorized on this site. For example, there was the page for the Samsung Behold in the Android section, yet it doesn’t run Android, and a touchscreen MP3 player’s page (even though there is no phone functionality) in the basic phone section. Is there anything that members can do to ensure that devices get put into their right place?

iFixit: Proper way to drill through metal?

Mon, 13 May 2019 04:59:43 -0700

I need to drill very many small holes (1/4 inch wide) through the metal of a shipping container the kind that are loaded on ships and on the back of trucks. The wall thickness is aprox. 3/16th of an inch thick. Problem: I am going through drill bits at a very high rate. I am getting only 12 holes drilled before the drill bit is worn out and I have to keep replacing with new bits. Am I doing something wrong ? Please tell me if there is some way to extend the life of the bit. Using WD-40 ? Some other oil ?

thank you

I have a bathroom faucet that needs to be replaced. It has 2 holes. I was told I need a replacement with a 4" center piece. Can I convert a 3-hole faucet with a 4" center piece to install? And if I can, how do I do that?

I looked under the sink and there is 2 holes on each side of the center piece that has running water. In the middle there is another hole that has a place for the drain plug.
