Microwaved board would also explain why there are no corresponding marks on the chassis. The board wasn't in the chassis when that damage happened, it was in the microwave.

This isn't the first time I've seen a board that's been microwaved, but it's certainly one of the more creative ones.

Hey Paul. Enjoy your work. Question. What are you using for infrared camera? It seems you have a solution built into to your main microscope camera. Previous you had a separate stand alone infrared camera.

Haha, just did this to get my BA Fairmont stuck on a hill on my gravel rural driveway back to flat ground so it will be more comfortable to work on. Didn't feel like loosening the 200 screws required to free up the centre console where it was sitting. Now i reckon i can wedge a piece of wood or something else in there and put the cover back on for a longer lasting "temporary" fix. Thanks for uploading this.

Why they call the apple lot the genius bar is beyond me, they replace parts whole, they never look for the problem. The service is replace not repair...
@Anibbles 2 ай бұрын
They do look for the problem, and troubleshoot down to a part. Replacing individual surface mount components doesn’t scale at a retail store level. The parts that get replaced are diagnosed, serviced and used again as future service parts.

@1kreature 2 ай бұрын
I think that polymer cap is a Panasonic 16V 68µF TQC POSCAP. If so it has a reflow of 250c for max 10s and a >217c max time of 60s and a >200c time limit of 70s. Ramp-up time 150-180c is limited to 150s (max soak time) but nothing is listed below 150c so a preheating of board to 100-150 would be ok. Hitting it with 400c air would absolutely pop it.
@pldaniels 2 ай бұрын
They definitely don't like the heat, I know trying to salvage them is an exercise in patience. Can always hear & smell when they've popped; was happy that didn't happen.
@1kreature 2 ай бұрын
@@pldaniels I forgot to mention it also specifically states in their datasheet:2 reflow cycles So, they are not very tolerant. Buying brand new ones would be safer for the gear in the long run, as it gives a bigger margin for the repair-work.

Nice job Paul. Great to see these fixes. Quick question for you. I have an A1990 that keeps restarting. Works fine in safe mode, but it kernal panics on Windowserver, so I suspect AMD Radeon GPU issue. I’ve reinstalled macos, so no other 3rd party extensions, no change. Also tried turning off gpu switching, but still no joy. Checked the board over and nothing stands out. It’s a lovely machine, so would love to get it repaired. Any suggestions as to what to look at?
@pldaniels 2 ай бұрын
Honestly these are the sorts of jobs that make me run away, far away ;) I would likely have started blaming the GPU as well as you have. Yes, the A1990 ( and A2141 ) are actually quite nice machines such that it's a shame they're plagued with the NAND VREG risk too :(
@PNAquatics 2 ай бұрын
@ yeah this is a 32Gb machine as well. When I got it I reinstalled the firmware through revive. Seemed to get it working, so thought it was sorted. Was playing tombraider on it for about a week. Then it just kept kernal panicing on every boot. I hope its not gpu, but I guess its still got parts value if nothing else. Cheers mate
@Holycurative9610 2 ай бұрын
I'm sure I've seen a workaround for these AMD GPU failures. I'm pretty sure Hugh Jeffries did the mod and the mac worked fine using the built in GPU, might be worth having a quick search in his back catalogue of videos. As I recall it does involve some soldering and the removal of power to the GPU but it didn't seem crazy difficult to do.
@PNAquatics 2 ай бұрын
@ thanks. I’ll take a look at that. I was wondering whether there would be a way to disconnect the AMD GPU
@margingalaxy9826 2 ай бұрын
Before go to deep dive on soldiering, Try to install windows 10 on boot camp. Then you might be able to use the amd gpu with modded red version Redon drivers(not boot camp amd drivers) I know it’s wild, but worthy to try. At least you might be able to find the problem using windows)

Fault...RAM to reflow...can u advice the rigth temperature and if Is Better Amtech flux or Rosin...thanks in Advance bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy
@pldaniels 2 ай бұрын
I would sooner use an Amtech flux (or other manufactured flux rather than just Rosin) but the trouble can be that the board you're wanting to do the RAM rework on usually has a fault in its MCP chip, and reflowing the RAM only "fixes" the issue for a few weeks and then it comes back :( Difficult to recommend a temperature/air because everyone's machine and technique is different with the hot-air, but around 450 and 100% air; will help if you can preheat the board to about 120'C to make the process faster?

@pldaniels 2 ай бұрын
I'm not even sure what the z77 is it a phone or are you referring to the z77 series of mainboards? Needless to say, you'd have to find the boardviews on a place like Badcaps.net (free) or maybe Vinafix. If they're not available there Google might have some ideas if at all.

I've started using the angled approach on jobs like this and it's something everyone in repair should be doing but a lot don't, I didn't..... I'm also amazed by the amount of repairs I get where there are screws missing, cables loose, prior repairs, liquid damage when they said "No, there's no liquid been anywhere near my laptop", clogged up fans, bone dry thermal paste and so on. I got into repair because I wanted to look after my own very expensive tech products and I'm honestly surprised more people don't do the basics like cleaning the device every once in a while. I should be glad they don't or my bread and butter jobs would all but disappear🤣🤣🤣🤣 Interesting video Paul, thanks.
@pldaniels 2 ай бұрын
It's surprising how many cracked caps aren't visible from above, and as mentioned in the video, no amount of "use different lighting" is going to fix that. Yes, a lot of machines that come in are in dire need to an overall service to fix up all those little matters that you mention, above and beyond the main fault itself; not too bad when you've got a glut of spares on hand at least.
