About Me
My name is Walter Galan. I was previously employed as a Technical Writer and Photographer for iFixit. During my tenure at iFixit, I've written and co-written over 2000 repair guides for devices ranging from mobile phones to automobiles.
I began writing guides primarily for PowerBooks. Since then, I've developed step-by-step repair documentation for iPods, MacBooks, iPhones, etc and a variety of other devices.
Hobbies
I'm a simple man. I enjoy a fine whiskey, I like breakfast foods, and sleeping. And Nic Cage movies. But when I'm not sipping on whiskey, eating breakfast, sleeping, or watching a Nic Cage film, I like to travel.
List of countries I've visited:
- China
- Australia
- Canada
- El Salvador (this is my favorite)
List of countries I want to visit:
- The World (I'm assuming that the world counts as one country)
I enjoy playing video games. I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer. I game occasionally. I have a preference to Sony PlayStation consoles.

I agree with Geoff. For example, K3RG2G20BM-MGCH is listed as 4 GB, with the key markings being G2G2. G2 standing for 2 GB, for a total of 4 GB.
The charging cradle is 6.7 mm thick with a diameter of 28 mm.
Good catch. We've updated the teardown. Thanks!
I just replaced the battery in an iPhone 5. Upon booting the phone I was also greeted with the "Searching" notification. I simply powered the phone off and powered on. Signal acquired. phgaertig was right, just a software bug.
Hi Mike Hebert. Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and added a warning on step 16.
Hi Jerome. Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you and simolinic. There should be a reminder bullet that warns people about the depth of the ribbon cable. Thanks for adding that. Much appreciated.
Hi Mitja. I just checked the measurements with an electronic digital caliper. I got 3.9 mm for all four screws. Are you sure it was the same model? Thanks.
Hi jessabethany. Thank you for the warning. I read your blog post and found it to be very informative. Thanks for adding the warning to the step. It will most definitely help others avoid any damage to the logic board. Thanks!
Thanks for pointing that out! We'll make sure to add it to the teardown.
