hey guys I'm going to 'ln and this is
the iFixit rundown where I give you all
the news that's happening this month and
I fix it here's what we've been up to
over at our blog we have a great story
called durable is the new black where we
feature companies like Patagonia and Tom
Cridland who make it cool to repair old
garments instead of pushing for you to
buy new ones virtually an unheard-of
idea in the business world and grab a
tissue cuz we tell you all about the
saddest repair story you have ever heard
with the discontinuation of the Sony
AIBO Dawg in 2006 there's now a shortage
of parts and repair men to fix the
family pet giving the dog that was
supposed to live forever an expiration
date we've had a few devices on our
teardown table this month some were a
little more willing to be open than
others I'm looking at you gopro hero4
sessions if you want to see the inside
of the new iPod Touch or the
aforementioned
GoPro check out the full tear downs fix
it calm speaking of GoPro we've added
some new parts and tools to our store
including GoPro and kendal parts and if
there's an iMac repair in your future

the ever so helpful service wedge that
allows you to work inside your iMac
while holding it in place and our newly
redesigned iMac opening tool with the
helpful cutting wheel and the new
addition of the slice blade as most of
you know we have a thriving community
that meets on our answers page members
receive reputation points for making
guides and helping people out by
answering their questions well we think
you guys are the coolest of the cool and
we want to make sure other people know
it too I want to send out a big congrats
to both Dan and Mac head 3 who surpassed
the 100,000 rep points mark this is
impressive guys July 8 I fix it means
liberation week earlier this month we
gave away 10000 liberation kits we sold
out within hours and generated 11,000
social posts on Twitter and Facebook
thanks for all the social love you guys
are awesome and finally we have some big
news I fix it is partnering with
electronic recyclers international the
largest recycler of electronic waste in
the world to make repair possible for
gadgets of all kinds together we're
working to keep as many electronics as
possible in use and out of landfills it
doesn't make sense to shred functional
electronic devices and components
especially when consumers and repair
shops knee quality repair parts that's
why we're working with Eri to harvest
components from electronics slated for
recycling in doing so we'll be able to
help consumers repair devices that have
never before had a steady supply of
replacement parts and that's your July
iFixit rundown we want to hear from you
tweet me a picture of your latest repair
and I'll get you on the show make sure
