Have a broken iPad gen 4? Thinking of taking in for repair? Ask first!

The iPad gen 4 has very similar insides as the iPad gen 3. A lot of the parts have the same part/model numbers. The glass & digitizer are even the same dimensions. There is, however, one big difference. The iPad gen 4 introduces a cable for the home button that runs half the width of the glass. If a repair technician does not know about this cable, or have experience working with the iPad Gen 4, they could likely break it. & if the repair shop does not have them in stock the customer will have to wait. Ask if they have experience repairing these, or if they have the cables in stock.

We are experienced with this repair. We have digitizers with the iPad Gen 4 home button cable in Stock. We will not break this cable performing the glass/digi repair.

As if though Microsoft didn't have enough stacking up against them, CEO Tim Cook says the firm will spend $100 million to move production from China. The company and its manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group have faced significant criticism this year over working conditions at the Chinese facilities where Apple products are assembled, prompting Foxconn to raise salaries. Cook didn't say which line of computers would be produced in the U.S. or where in the country they would be made. But he told Bloomberg that the production would include more than just final assembly. That suggests that machining of cases and printing of circuit boards could take place in the U.S.

As of July 4th, we are please to bring back our iPod Repair Services! Please note that we are only offering repairs to replace the glass, lcd, & battery on the 4th gen iPod.

Rogue security software mainly relies on scare tactics in order to defeat the security built into modern operating system and browser software and install itself onto victims' computers

Most have a Trojan horse component, which users are misled into installing. The Trojan may be disguised as

• * A browser plug-in or extension (typically toolbar)
• * An image, screensaver or archive file attached to an e-mail message
• * Multimedia codec required to play a certain video clip
• * Software shared on peer-to-peer networks
• * A free online malware scanning service

Some rogue security software, however, propagate onto users computers as drive-by downloads which exploit security vulnerabilities in web browsers or e-mail clients to install themselves without any manual interaction

Typically, rogue antivirus software displays a message saying that the PC is infected and offering antivirus software for sale. In a successful attack, the scammers end up with the victim's credit card information and don't bother to install any legitimate software
