How to Perform AHT (Apple Hardware Test) for Apple Mac Book’s

A month or a two back, I wanted to do something different and wanted to experiment something new with my MAC BOOK PRO (LATE 2011) Model because it is out of warranty and it showed up on me due to some hardware issue in it. The MacBook Pro I got is not ages old, would be hardly about to be two years old in coming months. Somehow, it got a hardware fault of a RAM Slot got screwed. It was very annoying and frustrating for an Apple Fan like me to see an expensive machine showing up in 1.5 years of the purchase.

It was shocking, but it gave me enough guts to learn something new and do experiments that no one would have ever performed because they might be scared or their machine is under warranty.

However, I went to Apple’s authorized reseller in my City to diagnose the issue with my MacBook Pro because it was the only machine that I had left in my life to access the Internet. Apple no longer authorized the first Authorized authority I went to. Still the technical staff didn’t said good-bye, as they were no longer officials. The technical staff listened to my issue and helped in solving my issue.

This is how i work.

Unfortunately, they didn’t had the tools to properly diagnose the problem, so they sent me to the Apple’s Official Service Centre, where I had the worst experience and moved on to third authorized person.

As I moved on to the third authorized person, he took the MacBook Pro from me and told the charges would be this much with certain terms and condition out of which Dead Approval of the Machine was the first one.

It was a very crucial moment for me, but I had to keep a stone on my heart and made a backup plan in case of the machine is dead. Anyhow, I gave him the approval and after a week or two he came up with a conclusion that one RAM Slot is dead due to which I was facing the issue.

Upon questioning him the reason, he refused to state any solid reason because he wasn’t aware of it. I didn’t go into deep cross-questioning, as it was a waste of time.

So, after few weeks of having the issue fixed, I opened Google and did a deep search of Apple Hardware Test Online and found many ways, tips, tricks on Google out of which only one worked for me. The same I am going to share with you people today for your Mac Book’s.

What is AHT (Apple hardware Test)?

In general, Apple Hardware Test is an online test performed by a user using an active Internet Connection to diagnose hardware issues with their Apple MacBook’s.

aht_how_to_apple_hardware_test

AHT performs a deep scan of MacBook hardware to see for the issue. If there is an issue in Hardware, it will show the result in an error code or else wont show any error code.

I screwed my MacBook Pro a lot of times prior reaching to a successful Apple Hardware Test program.

The last time I used Apple Hardware Test was when MacBook Pro’s Fan was running on full horizon and Apple Hardware Tested showed me an Error stated below:

fan_error_apple_hardware_test

The error showed to me by AHT was about the temperature fan being broken due to which the fan was running at full speed.

I simply ignored the error because the issue was resolved automatically for me. If any error comes at your end, then not down the error and take it to the Apple Store in your location.

How to Activate or Go into Apple Hardware Test on Apple MacBook’s Any OS X?

If you see it on Google, you will find many ways. The only working way for me is:

ALT (OPTION) + D After powering on.

Or

try the Alternative Way i.e. keep pressing the D key on startup.

When you turn on the MacBook, simply press the above combination and you will soon see a gray screen with a Globe. After that you will see a blue screen with a language selection.

Do make sure that you backup your MacBook prior performing any of the method mentioned above because you may end in formatting HDD or SSD of your MacBook. In general, I ended up screwing my HDD of my MacBook Pro just to make this option of Apple Hardware Test work.

After discovering this method, I re-formatted my HDD and installed the Backup Data from Time Machine.

Taig is the Sponsor of iOS 7 Jailbreak? – Proof

The mimics about iOS 7 Jailbreak are going around and have started to surface the internet with the claim that a Chinese company paid rumored $1 Million to the Evad3rs for the iOS 7 Jailbreak release or the exploit. Recently we published a series of proof showing that the owner of Cydia, Saurik was kept in dark for the iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak release by the Evad3rs and wasn’t notified or discussed about the release. Suddenly today on Sunday, the Evad3rs released iOS 7 jailbreak without any explanation regarding the mishaps that they have done or made.

 

With the release of iOS 7 untethered Jailbreak, we came across an issue of the Taig App being pre-installed on the iOS Devices having Chinese as base language after the Jailbreak is performed. More interestingly, the App of Taig that promoted pirated App is pre-installed in the Evasi0n Tool and offers a checkmark option for users who have Chinese Language to install it on their iOS Devices running iOS 7.

This pirate AppStore arrives on your device only if your base language is set to Chinese. Other wise, this Pirate AppStore wont arrive on your iDevice. The appearance of this Pirate AppStore on Chinese Language iOS Deivces makes our doubt level high on the imminent Jailbreak release for iOS 7.

In addition to this, Chronic adds some spice in this speculation by stating that the companies offered a filthy amount of $150 Million to him, i0n1c, and other members of the Jailbreaking team.

The team of Evad3rs has to respond to these allegations putted on them by people on the Internet.

In addition to this, the EN sign on Taig iOS 7 jailbreak takes you to Evasi0n.Com that is the official website of The Evad3rs. Interestingly, Taig.Com offers both MAC and Windows Downloads.

Chinese Company Paid Evad3rs for iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak – Rumor

Seeing an iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak on Sunday while getting your day off and enjoying with your family might have shocked you or surprised your or might have made your day. The iOS 7 Jailbreak took about three or more months to appear in public because the team of Evad3rs was busy in making the tool perfect and finding the right exploits for the right job, that is to get the job done.

Amazingly, no one was sure or was expecting the iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak to arrive this Sunday to make it a Funday because Apple has released iOS 7.1 Beta 2 and it might release iOS 7.1 some time later in December 2013 or January 2014.

Therefore, the question of iOS 7 Jailbreak was out-of-the-way and every one was sure that Evad3rs will release or talk about the Jailbreak sometime later after the release of iOS 7.1 by Apple. That’s why people were not asking questions about the iOS 7 Jailbreak and were sitting patiently waiting for the Jailbreak to arrive with iOS 7 crisp and taste.

Later today, The Evad3rs suddenly updated the Evasi0n Tool to version 7 by adding the support for iOS 7 to iOS 7.0.4 knowing that iOS 7.1 Beta 2 is already dancing in developer’s portal and might be released sometime sooner or later. But the Evad3rs released the iOS 7 Jailbreak before Christmas portraying it as a Gift for iOS Users.

At first, every one was happy to have Cydia on their Device because they were thinking that Saurik might have updated Cydia for iOS 7 i.e. a completely revamped UI of Cydia for iOS 7. Unfortunately, after installing Cydia on our Devices, the UI seemed to be the old one and no such changes were made to Cydia. Not even the icon was changed of Cydia. This was something strange and fishy because Saurik has updated Cydia in past according to new iOS releases and this time it was heavily expected that Cydia would be revamped for iOS 7, as it has a new UI by Apple.

Hours after the release of iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak, Saurik, the creator of Cydia Tweeted on Twitter with an astonishing fact stating:

 

According to a series of Tweets by Saurik on his official Twitter account stated a clear point that he was kept in dark by The Evad3rs prior releasing the iOS 7 Jailbreak and the team never tested the builds of Mobile Substrate that was given to core developers by Saurik. This is why Mobilesubstrate tweaks in Cydia are not working or might not work properly. The fix is on its way by the Evad3rs.

Why Saurik was kept in Dark for iOS 7 Untethered Jailbreak?

According to a user called Grugq on ycombinator claimed that a Chinese company paid a filthy rumored $1 Million to Evad3rs for the iOS 7 Jailbreak release as soon as possible with its sponsored Application in the Evasi0n Tool.

Well, the reason that the Cydia store doesn’t work, and that Saurik wasn’t included in the discussions, is starting to become clear. A Chinese company paid the evad3rs a rumored 1 million dollars for the jailbreak, forcing their own App Store onto the phone.
If the computer running the jailbreak has Chinese as the main language, then the Chinese 太极 (taiji) market app is install. Cydia is available as an option, but it is deselected by default.

Series of Proof:

As of now we cannot say anything on the above stated proofs and cannot say anything on the rumored payment made to Evad3rs by a Chinese company. All we know is that @Pod2g will explain the whole story on Reddit soon.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date

Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date Set for Late April 2014 – Rumor

The next Flagship of Samsung, Galaxy S5 Release Date is now gaining some heat in the rumor world after getting the first glance of its rumor in the rumor industry. If you ask us about the arrival of Samsung Galaxy S5, we would say that it is very early to state anything regarding the arrival of Galaxy S5 because Samsung Galaxy S4 is only few months old and to think about a new Flagship in semi-annually is way beyond once imagination.

In other words, we can say that to think about Galaxy S5 in the ending month of 2013 is too early because we don’t know about Samsung’s strategy over its Smart Phone industry. Few months back, Samsung announced Galaxy Curve for its Korea market and announced a few new lineups recently in the smart phone industry. Therefore, it’s very early to even name the next phone as Samsung Galaxy S5. Samsung might change the name of the next Flagship to Samsung Galaxy S Curve or something different.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date

However, looking in history of Samsung Flagship smartphones, the Korean company hasn’t changed the names of its Flagship from Galaxy S to any other. It has kept the same Galaxy S the name of its major Flagships with swapping the numeric digit according to the smartphone release.

As we told you above that Samsung, might change the name of the next phone or name it as Samsung Galaxy S5 or something very different, but we came across a Russian Blogger who is claiming the name of Samsung’s next Flagship to be Samsung Galaxy S5 with Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date set for late April 2014. The name of this genius Russian blogger is “Eldar Murtazin” who loves to be featured in Rumored headlines with no past accurate results on his stated rumors.

 

The statement given by Murtazin is skeptical, but hard to believe that Samsung is really going to make Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date in Late April.

The Korean company is striving hard to make Galaxy S4 sales reach the expected margin and on the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Note III is not performing well as it was expected to be doing. The main reason behind Galaxy Note III is the bigger screen and the size that makes the price high. This further makes Galaxy Note III out of reach of people and limits it for the rich people. In addition to this, a skeptical report surfaced the Internet stating that Galaxy S5 will be featuring NFC Technology that will be compatible latest NFC Payment Gateways used around the world.

If the same thing goes on, then the company might delay Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date (rumored to be Late April).

What do you people think about the statement given by Murtazin?

Apple October 2013 Event Invites Roll Out for October 22

Apple is back with another Media Event after the announcement of its iPhone Flagships. Apple October 2013 Event will be dedicated to the iPad because it is the time for them to rise and shine. It has been one year to the legacy of the iPad 4 and now the time has arrived for Apple to announce a new member in the family under the name of iPad 5. Amazingly, this year we might not be seeing iPad 5 as a sole show stopper, but we might see iPad 5, iPad Mini 2 along with MAC PRO release date, and OS X Mavericks to brighten the events eve on the stage.

It is heavily expected that Apple is going to announce iPad 5, iPad Mini 2, and 2 other un-announced things that were set for this fall. Those other two things are OS X Mavericks and MAC PRO new model that was announced at WWDC 13, but it wasn’t given a price tag and a release date. Indeed, Tim Cook, on the stage said that the release would be done in Fall.

apple october 2013 event oct 22

Therefore, fall started from August and Apple didn’t announce anything related to OS X Mavericks or MAC PRO’s in September on its Media Event. Hence, we will be seeing the final version of OS X Mavericks with pricing and MAC PRO’s with a beautiful price tag on Apple October 2013 Event dated October 22, 2013.

However, later today Apple issued October Media Event invites for the media calling them on October 22, 2013 because they have a lot to cover. In this A lot to cover, we can expect multi-color iPad’s to surface at the event as well.

We are expecting the multi-color scheme to arrive in the iPad Mini series because Apple announced iPhone 5C as a low-cost iPhone with multi-color variants and iPad Mini is always priced less as compared to iPad 4.

To conclude everything, we have a handy list of Apple October Event 2013 products announcement prepared for your view since September. You can get hold of the list from here.
