I’ve created the following guides to help me while tackling a repair. Some of these are recapping guides, while others show the pinouts for a cable or connector.
These guides are provided free of charge, but strictly AS-IS! I cannot be held responsible if there is an error or a typo. You can find a list of these guides below. Please note that some guides are specific to a particular model or revisions. These guides may work with your particular model!
