I am a German and a power electronics technician who received his training in the late 80's and early 90's. Since then, a lot has changed - in the area of electronics and in terms of my career.
I repair whatever I can and whenever I can. I do that on a volunteer basis, for example when teenagers bring me their iPod with a cracked screen or a home button that is worn out.
Rather than pursuing a training in electronic engineering after my first training, I received a heavenly call in 1992 to become a pastor. This is what I do since then. I underwent a B.A. training in Germany and pastored a church. I also started as a Bible teacher in 1998. In 2009 I was granted a scholarship to study in the US. I finished my studies in 2011 (M.Div.) and am now pursuing a doctorate in biblical studies (Old Testament).
I know, this has nothing to do with electronics. And yet, it somehow has. I understand that via my former training I can help people when they have issues with their electronic devices. Or at least I can advice them what I would do, like here on iFixit. And as I help people, I am helped, too.
Personally, I like iFixit, since it is run by highly qualified people - geniuses that can help me when I got stuck with my little projects.

사용자에게 답변하기: Keyboard removable from palm rest?Hi Coby, Take a look at this guide. It might help. Steffen Hi Coby, Here you find a service manual where the keyboard and palm rest are mentioned (p. 71 forward). Steffen Update (05/31/2018): Hi Coby, The keyboard seems to be plastic welded to the body. See here. If there is still guarantee on it, I would bring it back to the seller. If not, I would carefully remove the black plastic cover of the keyboard. You might then see all the plastic welded dots that hold the keyboard to the body. You might be able to work with a soldering iron to soften these dots and to remove the old keyboard. Do not soften or even remove too much of the plastic, since you need every bit for fix the new keyboard accordingly. Steffen

사용자에게 답변하기: My iPhone 6 wont charge after battery replacementHi Brady, When you replaced the battery, which guide did you use? I recommend to follow this guide here on ifixit. Here is what I would also check on/do: (1) I would first check if the battery cable is correctly attached (that is, even) to the connector. Then: (2) Turn the iPhone off (with the charging cable attached and plugged in) and turn it on again (3) Now allow the new battery 3 to 4 hours to be charged. This is a way of trouble shooting in order to see if during that time the battery is being charged or not. Steffen

사용자에게 답변하기: How do I replace the cooling fan?Hi Chris, I recently uploaded a repair guide for replacing the DC-in power jack of an ASUS 1001PX, which also shows how to remove the cooling fan. You find the guide here: ASUS Eee PC 1001PX Charging Socket Replacement I suggest that you remove the fan and clean it first. Sometimes dust that has accumulated over time can be the issue. Or just buy a new fan, which you find here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=10... Steffen

사용자에게 답변하기: How to repair touchpad flat cable?Hi Diego, I recently uploaded my repair guide on how to replace the DC jack power (charging socket) on an ASUS 1001PX which also includes the removal of the upper unit/touch pad. You will find it here: ASUS Eee PC 1001PX Charging Socket Replacement What is actually needed in your case is a 12 pin flat ribbon cable which you easily find online, for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-EEE-PC-1001PX-Cavo-Flat-ribbon-per-Touchpad-cable-cavetto-for-/311531760729?hash=item4888bd6c59:g:Q34A... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4... For sure, you can also buy the entire touch pad unit, for example, here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4... However, if you only need the flat ribbon cable, I suggest that you buy a single ribbon cable that is as long as your old one is and just fold it the way you need it. This should do the job! Steffen

사용자에게 답변하기: LCD or GPU problemHi Night Striker, As long as an external monitor that is connected to either the HDMI or VGA interface works fine, the problem does not seem to be related to the GPU. You already replaced the cable, so the only item that seems to create the issue is the LCD itself. Like Claes pointed out, it is likely that the controller is defective, hopefully the controller on the back of the LCD panel. Here is what I would do: 1. Checking on the new LCD cable that it is correctly installed. 2. Getting a new LCD screen, for example here. Steffen

사용자에게 답변하기: Is there a guide for replacing the bottom touch screen for the new xl?Hi bpmurphy18, I did some further research and - indeed - it is difficult to find a repair manual for the lower LCD/digitizer of the latest model. My recommendation would be to use some instructions from the previous model. I am not sure how different the latest model is compared to the previous one. But I would give it a shot. You can always "cross reference" your steps with the teardown of the latest model provided here on ifixit.com. Here is a video how to get to the lower screen of the previous model. Steffen
