Hi. Just a hypothetical question. As far as I know it's possible to replace/upgrade soldered SSD on a macbook, my question is where do you get one from and if it's possible to solder in let's say a generic SSD chip from some M.2 SSD?

I'm new to elettronic, so perhaps my question has no sense.
Can a laptop still work without one of the soldered ram?
I was wondering if a laptop (or any other device actually) can still works if removing a faulty soldered ram without soldering back a good replacement. Of course considering the mainboard has other ram chip perfectly functional.
I tried on a MacBook Air and also an Asus laptop and it seems no possible without a replacement. At least, not just removing the faulty one.
Sometimes for the seek of data recovery on a flash soldered drive on the mainboard,... -
First of all, I'd like to mention that I'm a novice when it comes to laptop repair, although I do have some experience with soldering.
One day, my laptop experienced a severe stutter, and after rebooting, it failed to boot into Windows. I decided to disassemble it and found that the PL900 component was blown. Later, I came across a post (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...error%E2%80%99) with the same problem, where...08-30-2024, 06:13 AM -
I do have several old pc motherboards which i recapped 10 year ago and some of those caps are bulged now.
I would like to upgrade them using solid capacitors. I do use them for testing and helping some alternative operating systems.
I would like to ask if such an upgrade can be done, what should i have in mind when replacing electrolytic by solid caps and if such thing exist, if there are caps list for old motherboards. I would have to figure out what caps needs each motherboard and then prepare a list to try to ask for them on some electronics stores. -
Right guys, working on my first M1. Came in with no battery (not sure why) USBC meter 20v 0.05A. Nand underfill removed, so may have been replaced/reflowed.
I know these draw little power on bench without battery so checked DFU. Stuck in DFU so tried restore/revive both fail with error 21.
Mac DFU Wiki states following:
Error 21 - Resolved with SoC ROM replacement. On macbooks with an M1 processor, this error also means problems with NAND chips such as:
- Failure of one or two NANDs.
- Mismatch between the NAND model and the... -
Hi, i have this RadioShack IR thermometer Cat. No 22-170 which takes 2xAAA batteriss, I've tried with NiMH AAA rechargeables but it complains about low voltage, it flashes an "empty" battery and doesn't measure anything, even with freshly charged 2xAAA NiMH, so i have to "borrow" the batteries from my multimeter when i want to use it
I'm thinking abour replacing the 2xAAA batteries with a small LiPo battery that fits inside that space, but the voltage would be too high (4.2v)
I'm open to suggestions on whether i should use an LDO or another type of voltage...
