I ordered a battery and it came all expanded, I called up customer support and they wanted some pictures or a video of the problem then they sent out the replacement and it was here in 2 days! The replacement works amazing and I will definitely do business with these guys again!

Customer service helped me pick the correct battery for my Mac Book Pro 15 inch. Battery arrived with the correct tools to remove and replace. Went online to watch the video and all went perfectly. Great job for ifixit.com

I bought a replacement part for the Pro Tech Toolkit before I read that the kit has a lifetime warranty for broken components. As soon as I called about it they refunded my order.

Our friends daughter shattered the screen of her hand-me-down iPhone 6s. I ordered the part, walked through the clearly laid out steps, and in less than an hour had her screen replaced. Was able to save them some money and learned something in the process!

Ifixit contacted me and rectified the situation immediately. They sent out a replacement product at no cost to me. I sent back the defective item and it was a success. I never doubted ifixit and they pulled through to remain a positive, trustworthy company. You cannot go wrong with ifixit products and customer service.

Received the product and upon installation I noticed that periodically lines appear in the screen and the screen does not adjust to light or dark ambiance changes.

I ordered and received a new battery for my MacBook Pro 13" laptop. Battery level was at 60% and it's being fully charged now. Installation was easy by watching video/online guide Having the tools come with the kit was handy.

My Nixus 7 repair
June 23, 2018

I did a tear down and replacement of the daughter Board of my Nexus 7 2nd. Generation everything went very well "thanks to iFixit instructions".
I purchased the daughter board from iFixit, because I felt that would be the most reliable place to purchase parts from. It's hard to find New Daughter boards for Nexus 7.
My Nexus 7 working well. "Thank You ifixit"

I'm writing this 3 weeks after I made the order and they still haven't responded to the multiple emails to *******@ifixit.com.

I emailed and asked them to cancel my order because my client went elsewhere after I couldn't get the part soon enough. I told him a week max and they shipped it a little over a week after I ordered it. They still haven't responded to my emails.

While I have made many orders with them I am looking for a better supplier now. This just doesn't work.

I ordered iPhone 6s plus display assembly with 3D touch and tools required to fix it. I feel that the assembly is overpriced compared to some other panels available in the market. The repair went well on my side and I double checked all the connections. However, the 3D touch feature does not work as well as it used to with the genuine display assembly. 3D touch is getting triggered even if I normally touch the display and it doesn't work sometimes when I force touch very hard.

I ordered the replacement charging port for a friend's iPhone 5s that would not charge. The parts were exactly as described and the instructions provided on the website were exceptionally detailed.

Nice kit
June 19, 2018

This kit everything you will need in a handle carrying case. The tips and metal seem to be very strong, unlike some knock-offs that use cheap steel.

I have purchased parts, tools and used the guides to repair two iPhones and a Wii. In all cases the parts were high quality and the guides assisted every step of the way. I highly recommend this site for your repairs.

I was skeptical...
June 12, 2018

I have generation 1 20GB (upgraded to 500 GB) PS3. About four years ago I got the yellow light of death and sent my PS3 into Sony to get fixed. $150 dollars later and a wiped hard drive, my PS3 was working again. I was happy to have it working again because it's backwards compatible with PS2 and PS1 games, but very sad that I lost all my game data. Well about 2 weeks ago, I got the yellow light of death again. I'm not going to lie, I was very sad. I stumbled upon a fix on Youtube from ifixit.com. I was skeptical, but decided to give it a try. With shipping, it was only $35 dollars and if I could keep my game data it would totally be worth it! The ifixit guide was very detailed and easy to follow and I am thrilled to report my PS3 is now working again! I am very pleased and will recommend this to my friends who have similar problems with their PS3's. Thank you ifixit!
