My iMac 2010 (EMC2390) won't start up. I think it's not able to load the OS as it's stuck at the Apple logo. Tried to do a recovery but it failed as well. All I got was a blank white screen with a folder with a question mark logo.

Is it a corrupted disk issue? Can I replace the HDD (or with SSD)?

Flashing folder meaning the Mac can't find a bootable OS to load.
It could be corrupted macOS or it could also due to fault on HDD.

You can troubleshoot it by booting to a USB/FireWire drive.

SSD replacement are much better option nowadays.

I just changed my speakers on my 2012 rMBP 15 because the old speaker has cracked

Just wondering, are both sides meant to sound the same?

It seems that Right speaker has more tone than the Left speaker.

For retina models, both sides should be equal.

Okay... I'll send it back to get it redone then...

Any good repair shop around Puchong to do Mac repair services? My Macbook Pro speaker is toasted! Need it for my work from home arrangement currently.

I tried checking my service and support coverage status and I was asked to validate my product's purchase date. However, I'm unable to validate it. Anyone knows how to do this?

Your MacBook is a gold mine, go and report that you have the 2016 Display Backlight issues to claim a display for free and go and report that some of your keyboard keys are sticky/duplicate presses or something, if you're lucky, you'll get a free display and keyboard replaced for free. Essentially a new MacBook

The recall for display are for no backlit & curtain effects.

You can try. But likely not eligible.

Keyboard recall:

Also take note the recall are for 4 years from the first retail of the model. Which make 2016 model very close to borderline. I suggest you contact Apple soonest before it expire.

Can this be repaired? Or I will need to change the screen entirely? Lol

Yes. The is screen damaged. Whether you need the whole screen or the panel alone depends on model. There are too much risk replacing naked panel. So you will likely get a quote for whole display replacement.

Any idea how much it roughly cost? :/

I need to change my MacBook pro screen.. 2012 model non retina.. 13”..

Can I know estimated cost for this?

Initially right speaker started to make crackling sound, then I adjusted to play with left speaker only and then now both is broken producing crackling sound.

May I know what is the estimated cost for the speaker replacement?

15" rMBP late 2013

If you get it replaced at Apple Service Centre it’s around RM450.

Ahh, if third party repair... significantly cheaper? or more or less similar?
