Inputs

Trackpads

• If they vibrate weird, make sure that the screws holding them aren’t loose or over tightened

Triggers

• If they rub against the backplate, make sure the shoulder buttons, triggers and the backplate are correctly installed
  • Backplate is “popped in” correctly on all sides
  • Smallest gaps possible between parts
  • No loose parts
  • Tighten screws

Sound

• LCD Deck’s internal microphone doesn’t work when something is plugged into the 3.5mm audio port
  • May be “fixable” by using a TRRS adapter or some other tweaks, see here

Storage

• If it shows incorrect size:
  • Make sure the OS is fully updated
  • Make sure the drive is partitioned correctly

OLED Audio Board (Crackling / Static Noise From 3.5mm Headphone Jack)

• Insulate screws and bottom of the audio board
• Buy new revision from iFixit
• RMA and get it repaired
• For all possible solutions navigate to Images/OLED/Internals/Audio_Board in the GitHub repository
