A Few Things To Consider While Repairing a Macbook

Middleboro, Massachusetts, 2022-Oct-10 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — A Macbook device plays a very important part in our lives. These MacBooks are known for their extraordinary performance, their high configuration and their extremely fast speed. Nowadays, people have become so dependent on laptops that they can’t imagine a single day in life without using their laptops. They panic when they lose sight of their laptops for even a few hours. This has become really important to ensure that the Macbook remains functional at all times.

However, just like any other device, the Macbook may sometimes get damaged. In such a situation, getting the macbook pro 2012 logic board repaired becomes the number one priority so that the desired solution can be obtained. So, here are some of the most important factors that require consideration while repairing the smartphone:

Fixing a Cracked or Broken LCD Screen: 

Often, the Macbook device may suddenly drop off the hands of the owner. This can cause the LCD screen to get cracked. Other than that, sometimes, while trying to close the lid of the Macbook with too much force, the screen may get cracked. Sometimes, the screen may get damaged for unknown reasons that even the owner is unaware of. In such a case, it becomes really important to get the LCD screen repaired to start functioning again.

Without a properly repaired LCD screen, it would be impossible to use the Macbook any longer. While repairing the LCD can easily be done from a local computer repair store, it is not advisable at all. They basically make use of cheap spare parts that are of low quality. The l Macbook is also handled by untrained technicians who hardly have any knowledge of the overall configuration of the Macbook. So, it is always a better idea to get the LCD repaired from a reputable Apple store only so that the screen can be replaced properly and the Macbook starts to function all over again.

Problem with Viruses And Malware: 

Many times, the Macbook device may get attacked by malware and viruses which can put the security of the owner at complete risk. Sometimes, even the data gets corrupted and stolen. In order to avoid such situations, it is always important to get updated firmware and software for the Apple device. This can reduce the security risk. An updated software also comes with various additional security features. This will ensure that the laptop device remains protected at all times and the users will also face no problem in working on their laptops.

Dealing with damaged logic boards: The logic board is the most important component of the laptop. Without a properly functioning logic board, it becomes really difficult to make proper use of the Apple Macbook. So, in case there is any kind of problem with the Macbook, it is really important to ensure that the logic board is functioning properly.

In case the macbook pro a1706 logic board is non-functional, then it is a good idea to replace the logic board only instead of placing the entire Macbook. It is also quite inevitable to get reliable logic boards repaired or replaced really soon as it will determine how the entire Macbook is going to perform and no compromises should be made on the quality of the logic board.

The Accessories are not Working: 

Sometimes, the laptop accessories may stop functioning. The speaker of the laptop may get damaged or the keyboard may not be functioning any longer. In that case, also, the laptop owner can get quality parts for their laptop so that the laptops become functional all over again.

In this case, many people believe that it would not be a good idea to spend a lot of money on accessories. However, this is not the case. Every single part has got an equally important role to play in ensuring that the laptop functions properly. So, it is a really good idea to get genuine accessories for the laptop so that it starts functioning all over again.

In this way, the Macbook device can be given proper maintenance and the laptop will keep functioning at all times. The a1706 logic board will also remain functional.

Long-range wireless power leader Wi-Charge financially backed by the European Innovation Council Fund

Leave a comment

TEL AVIV, 18-Oct-2021 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — Wi-Charge, the leader in long-range wireless power, today announced that it has been awarded €13.4 M EUROS by the European Commission’s European Innovation Council (EIC), an arm of the world’s largest multinational innovation programme. The funding is being provided to help Wi-Charge more rapidly develop and commercialize its disruptive “over-the-air” wireless power technology offerings.

According to Wi-Charge’s CEO, Victor Vaisleib, “By financing Wi-Charge, the EIC is fueling Europe’s global competitiveness and helping to make our breakthrough wireless power solutions accessible to as many businesses and homes around the world as possible in the shortest amount of time.”

For generations dating back to Nikola Tesla, technologists have dreamed of making wireless power available through the air, with no need for plugs or charging pads. In recent years, Wi-Charge began making this dream a reality through the development of an infrared technology that beams electricity “over-the-air” to devices over 30 feet away. The company then productised its wireless power offerings and began selling them to businesses around the world. It also quickly established 82 patents in support of its breakthrough.

The EIC fund was created to identify, develop and scale breakthrough technologies and game changing innovations. The programme’s first ever investments were highly anticipated and competitive. This year, of the thousands of companies that competed for the first EIC awards, Wi-Charge was one of the select few to receive financing and the only recipient in the wireless power provider category.

“This investment in Wi-Charge is a wonderful testament to Europe’s innovation-edge and a welcome validation of our business vision and technology,” said Wi-Charge founder and Chief Business Officer Ori Mor. “As the Fourth Industrial Revolution matures, wireless power will dominate —  untethering the world from wires and toxic batteries. Its benefits will also go much further, allowing fundamental transformations in how people live and work, similar to the advent of wi-fi and mobile technologies.”

On average, Wi-Charge delivers 30 times the power of other solution providers, at ten times the range and with much less waste — making it the most efficient, greenest solution available today. Year after year, the company has received honors and awards from global organizations like the Consumer Electronics Show and the Edison Awards.

“As governments and businesses around the world continue to lean into wireless power,” said Vaisleib “the EIC’s investment in Wi-Charge is helping make the dream of a better, wireless world a reality.”

There are currently many wireless power business use cases across the key market sectors Wi-Charge serves, including advanced deployments in large sectors like retail and CPG. These real-world scenarios are fueling a wireless power market that Allied Market Research estimates will reach €34.46 billion EUROS by 2027.

World’s Tiniest Flashlight Multi-Tool Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Leave a comment

LONDON, UK, 2019-Sep-24 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — In early 2019, the Kickstarter campaign for UK-based design company SEPTEM Studio hit an incredible 32x beyond its goal in support of their ingenious HUNT22 titanium micro UV-flashlight (£2,000 goal / £65,520 pledged). Waterproof, fireproof, crushproof and smaller than a house key, the tiny everyday carry (EDC) gadget was backed by more than 1,600 people. As they manufactured and shipped the HUNT22, getting feedback and suggestions from users, the people at SEPTEM Studio came to recognize they could make it even better… Now, they’re launching a new Kickstarter for the HUNT23 – a similarly small flashlight, but this time the design includes a tiny pry bar on the end, which lends itself to dozens of daily multi-tool applications such as a screwdriver, a bottle opener, a box cutter, a scraper, a paint can opener… Oh, and this time, the HUNT23 is available either as a UV or a super-bright white light.

SEPTEM Studio has a solid track record of bringing product to market. Its first project was a pair of collapsible titanium chopsticks. The HUNT23 is their third Kickstarter of 2019, with units planned to ship in November (they make great holiday gifts!)

“After using our flashlights for a while, the single function – while useful – seemed like a wasted opportunity for truly upgrading our everyday carry,” said team leader of SEPTEM Studio. “We’ve always loved the idea of having a screwdriver or bottle opener with us, but the thought of attaching yet another item to our keyring was just too much. We landed on the more universal idea of a tiny pry bar, a multi-use addition on the back end of the flashlight that could drive screws, open bottles, open lids, cut boxes – basically, could open anything we needed in our daily lives.”

HUNT23 provides a beautiful balance between minimalist style and maximum usability, in one tiny package. Just add it to a keychain, and it’s always accessible, yet also so tiny that it’s not taking up space. It’s also a TSA-friendly alternative to pocketknives. The HUNT23 comes with a three-year warranty.

Pledges begin at £28 for one HUNT23, either UV or white light (Save £17 Off Retail Price of £45 [38% OFF]). For pledging £63, backers will receive three HUNT23 units, in their mix & match option of UV or white light. There are a number of different pledge packages available, backers are encouraged to visit: http://kck.st/2AbNTZo

HUNT23 Technical Details

  • 100% Grade 5 Titanium Alloy
  • High Quality Extremely Bright SMD LED/100 Lumens
  • Built-in Resistor To Prevent Overheating
  • Bulb Lifespan Expectancy 50,000 hours
  • Uses 3 Common AG1/1.5V Button Cell Batteries
  • Long Alkaline Battery Life – 40 Hours (Constant Use)

BIBI LED Releases Their Latest Indoor Fixed LED Display Screen

Leave a comment

Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 2019-Mar-02 — /EPR Network/ — BIBI LED has released their latest indoor fixed LED display screen and it is certainly better than its previous versions. It boasts of a weight of only 14kg for each 640x640mm die-casting aluminum cabinet. Its standard module size of 320x160mm and standard cabinet size 640x640mm, have both front and back access. This makes it one of the easier LED screens to install. In fact, you can install a whole cabinet with just two people doing all the necessary work.

Its die-casting aluminum cabinet is made by a CNC machine. This ensures that the gap and flatness are better than normal steel cabinets. It is also a very efficient indoor LED display screen. It has a maximum power consumption of 800 W/m2 and an average of 250 W/m2. That’s how energy efficient it is.

Why Use Indoor Fixed LED Display Screens?
There’s a reason why indoor fixed LED display screens are the more preferred medium for videos and images. Here are some of the reasons.

Brightness – In terms of brightness, the LED screen has enough brightness that you don’t have to worry about ambient light. You will always see clear pictures even if the lights are on.

Size – Size will never be an issue for an LED screen/wall. The size of the display for an LED screen/wall virtually has no limit. You can just combine panels or cabinets to achieve the size that you want.

Cost – Generally, LED screens are more expensive upfront. But over time, you will be able to save more mainly because they consume less electricity than other mediums. Plus, maintenance costs are next to zero when you use LED screens. So, using indoor fixed LED screens are the better long term investment.

Performance – When we’re talking about performance, an indoor LED screen will definitely outperform any display device. In terms of clarity and sharpness of images and videos, LED screens are on the top of the hill. Plus, they are always bright enough that you don’t need to dim the lights in order to see better what is being played.

Smart Scale Co. Unveils World’s First IoT Smart Scale Container, “Stashaweigh™â€, at New West Summit

Leave a comment

Oakland, California, USA, 2018-Oct-10 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — Smart Scale Co. announced today its October 11th launch at New West Summit of the world’s first IoT smart scale container for the cannabis industry. The patent pending “Stashaweigh™â€ is an industry-forward weighing device that utilizes the ease of Bluetooth connectivity via a smartphone app to make tracking and saving your cannabis history seamless.

Stashaweigh™ is the brainchild of inventor and entrepreneur Josh Lee, Founder and CEO of Smart Scale Co., which he created in 2017. Lee, in conjunction with a team of technology engineers, has a vision for smart data-sharing, powered by machine learning and advanced AI, that he hopes will shake up the cannabis market.

Lee recalls, “As a technology inventor I saw a lack of technology being built for the cannabis market that matched what was out in the mainstream marketplace. I chose to build the most technologically advanced stash container, the Stashaweigh™, a patent-pending IoT device that integrates a smart scale, connected smartphone app, and water and smell-proof container to manage your usage history by weight, day, time and strain.”

Stashaweigh™ allows its users to track and manage usage history through their smartphones, and gives accurate weight, date, and time feedback while storing precise dosage history during each session. The company will use machine learning and AI to track and predict user habits from around the country that give dispensaries, growers, scientists, and medical professionals tools to more accurately respond to consumer needs and trends.

“Our goal is not only to give consumers a secure device to store their cannabis, but to help them learn more about their usage habits, while giving them tools to manage their cannabis like never before. We are thrilled to launch our product at New West Summit, the industry-leading cannabis technology conference.”

Stashaweigh™ is the first container in a line of expected smart scale devices that make using, selling, prescribing, and growing cannabis smarter and more effective.

FINALLY, A REAL INNOVATION IN DENTAL CARE – THE ONLY DUAL MODE LIGHT THERAPY ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH LAUNCHES ON KICKSTARTER

Leave a comment

Los Angeles, California, 2018-Mar-26 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — Bristl combines proven science of light therapy with sonic vibration to improve oral care. The company also offers a subscription service to replace brush heads, so having the best oral health is also convenient.

Available on Kickstarter on Monday, March 26th at 9am (PST)

The combination of Bristl’s features, convenience, and style make for true market disruption:

Gum Health
Visible Red light (620–750 nm in wavelength) has been clinically proven to heal gum tissue and prevent inflammation. The same technology is often used in skincare; Bristl is bringing it to the everyday tooth brushing routine.

Kill Bacteria
Visible blue light (450–495 nm in wavelength) has been clinically proven to kill and prevent oral bacteria that causes gingivitis and other gum disease. This safe and natural blue light is proven to be effective, and Bristl is proud to bring it to market.

Get Rid of Plaque
Bristl has three sonic vibration modes: regular, gentle, and off. Sonic vibration is recommended by dentists as it has the highest cleaning ability without damaging gums. The brush head is also particularly designed to reach in crack and crevices while letting light pass through the bristles.

A Few Stats
According to a study published in the Journal of Periodontology and Implant Science (Vol. 44: pp. 280-287), Bristl’s technology (even with only red light) was effective in achieving the following:

  • 86% reduction in bacteria that causes destruction of tooth supporting tissue
  • 117% improvement in PPD (Periodontal Pocket Depth) which indicates gum health
  • 80% improvement in CAL (Clinical Attachment Level) which is another metric for gum health

Why Us?
The Bristl Science team consists of a group of innovators and scientists looking to use advanced technology to improve everyday lives. While we of course wish to build a successful business, we are doing so responsibly; Bristl has committed to donating a percentage of every sale to America’s Toothfairy to provide underserved children with dental care. Whether a customer or an underserved child, we’re on a mission to maximize oral health everywhere.

This is just the beginning. The Bristl Science team will work tirelessly to innovate and build products that improve lives, maximize health, and promote good. The Bristl light therapy toothbrush is just the first step toward a healthier future.

Sesame Smart Lock Accommodates New Technology

Leave a comment

Palo Alto, CA, April 21, 2015 — /EPR ELECTRONICS NEWS/ — Sesame – the world’s first instant smart lock – is now one of the hottest projects on Kickstarter, which has raised more than one million dollars since launch. Currently, more than 6,000 supporters have backed the project.

Sesame allows users to lock and unlock their doors using the Sesame app on their smartphones. It is the only smart lock that syncs the movement of the lock with the phone, providing exact control of the angle to which the lock turns.

Jerming Gu, the inventor of Sesame, said he wanted to bring the joy of technology to regular people with affordable prices. Sesame is also designed to accommodate the fast changing nature of technology.

In deed, the consumer electronics technology changes year by year. Any users of consumer electronic products – whether it’s a lock or a phone – they will be forced to upgrade the hardware often.

Here are some examples:
1) iPhone 4 (Bluetooth 3.0) is not compatible with iPhone 4S (Bluetooth 4.0);
2) RFID (clipper bus card) is not compatible with NFC (Apple Pay/some credit card);
3) z-wave (most old digital locks) is not compatible with Zigbee (newer digital locks);

“You might want to have a new phone every year but you may not want to construct the door every year just for a newer digital lock,” said Gu.

That’s the problem Sesame is trying to solve.

Now Bluetooth 4.2 is coming, Gu just swapped to the new version 3 Bluetooth chip in mass production.

“Also, the long-distance wireless charging technology is about to hit the market, I feel everything is changing too fast,” said Gu.

With five-patented design, Sesame works with just about any deadbolt in the world. Users can install it in seconds, without replacing existing lock or removing anything. Current model is optimized for US/Canada/northern Europe Markets.

CANDY HOUSE also offers optional access point, which connects Sesame to the Internet when plugged into any nearby outlet. It lets users control Sesame wherever they are.

With Internet connection capability, users can allow guests in remotely. They can also control who has access and when. To ensure safety, the Sesame app also sends out a notification whenever the door opens or closes.

About CANDY HOUSE
Founded and developed by Stanford University students, CANDY HOUSE, Inc. is a candy store that sells dreams, putting the joy and surprise of innovative technology in the hands of consumers, just like candy. It is also a design house, developing and manufacturing products that inspire a minimal lifestyle. It launched its first product – Sesame, the world’s first instant smart lock – in February 2015.
