The most probable cause would be a worn out battery. I had the same issue with my iPhone 6 and it was fixed by replacing the battery. This is normal and happens to all batteries as they age. I have provided links to the battery and replacement guides: Looks like you don’t even need tools for the repair. Battery: Galaxy S5 Replacement Battery Guide: Samsung Galaxy S5のバッテリーの交換

I took out the SSD from the MacBook Air and stuck it into another MacBook from the same year. It booted onto the drive and continued to install the update. After the update was finished, I stuck it back into the MacBook Air and all was well. Im assuming its because she updated from Mountain Lion to Mojave and didn’t install the firmware updates in between. Everything works normally now!

Removing the battery without warping is totally avoidable!!!

Use some isopropyl alcohol or some of iFixits adhesive remover they sell on their website. Put some on all 3 edges of the battery except the one closest to the logic board. Both solvents are non-conductive and evaporate, so be generous if you have to. Make sure you tilt the iPad upwards from where you put the adhesive. And wait 1-2 minutes in between each side. Insert one card and pry in between each side as well.

It’s very possible to do this with one card and without warping the battery. They use this method on all of their other repairs, so not sure why this one is special. Look up other iPad or MacBook battery replacement guides on iFixit if you need more detail.

Please don’t use the method shown in this guide!It can go very, very wrong if you warp it too much.

What size is this screw?

My new camera sensor isn’t folded like the one previously installed in the phone. I know these cables are very fragile and I don’t want to tear them. Where can I find a guide to properly fold the sensors so they fit correctly into their positions?

Is there a way I can cut the bracket off? I completely stripped one of the screws?
