Today I'm going to see if a destroyed Apple 15" Retina Macbook Pro can be fixed. It cost me $24 off of eBay and looks as if it was run over. Can we get it running? Let's find out :) #apple #macbook #restoration

Congratulations on getting those caps back on as well as you did. The Macbook boards are notoriously good at consuming heat which is why we use hot-air rework stations to really get the parts reflowed nicely. Wave hello if you need more parts here in Australia; I'm in the process of decomissioning a lot of 2012~2013 era or older machines; it's just not viable/economical for me to repair them any more given that I cannot gaurantee other faults won't pop up 6 weeks later after the customer gets their machine back.

Finding broken devices or those needing minor repairs a few years later and fixing them up is a great way to learn new things and get an opportunity to mess around with cool devices without breaking the bank.

You'll have to buy a new tip after sanding it as it has layers of iron and nickel that you would have removed. When you sand these off, the copper underneath oxidizes and makes soldering much more difficult.
@TMHedgehog
@TMHedgehog Жыл бұрын
I've been sanding the tip on my iron the way shown in the video for some time now, my trick to prevent the oxidation is just to tin the tip with solder as quickly as it's up to temperature. Once it's evenly coated with a layer of tin, it won't oxidise again until it needs sanding again.

The Pinecil is okay. It's cheap, heats up quickly, but either has poor thermal mass or I'm bad at transferring heat to joints I'm (de)soldering. As for charging, whenever I use it with my USB-C phone chargers, the Pinecil shuts off heat because it's not getting enough power, and I had to run a Pinecil IronOS firmware update to make the MacBook Air chargers not cut off its power every 5 seconds.

Just a tip for soldering. A thinner tip doesn't always help and usually makes it even harder to solder, especially since it can't retain the heat as much. large tips are better even for small parts. Heating up the solder pad with the component in place hot enough and then dab a bit of solder is all you need. Flux helps clean and distribute this heat too.

Since you led with the $25 for the broken laptop, it would be nice to know how much you spent of ALL of the parts that it took to repair it. There is also the issue of labor: that represents a cost as well, so how many hours did this take. I confess that I did a similar thing, taking my son’s IBM Thinkpad laptop where the basic chips had burned up (leaving the machine running all the time with those terrible small fans), and my daughters Thinkpad laptop, with a monitor that had burned up as well, and took them apart and combined the working components into a machine that I ran Ubuntu Linux on for some years. My son looked at me when the thing was finished and admonished me, that for all of the time that I put into repairing it, I could have gone out and bought a NEW (cheap) wintel laptop for less that the imputed cost of my labor. “But!” I told him, “I wouldn’t know how they built these if I just tossed them!” LOL

@@prodbydanai Not if it has NVIDIA Tesla GPU as Chrome and Discord don't work! This is to be expected as Mojave requires Metal. Where as High Sierra officially supports the 9400M GT, which the 2009 iMac has! So no graphics patches, therefore no glitches! I haven't tested the 8600M GT because I just don't have a Mac with it, and I don't have the Radeon card in the mid 2007 iMac either!

Okay, I have two questions... Number one, Which basically follows up on two. But, Why didn't you just put the good battery and a new SSD into the parts MacBook you bought? And when the board fell onto the ground, Why did you repair the broken board when you had a perfect one? IT would have been a lot easier to just put two working parts into the parts Mac instead of the ruined one. Anyways, I love you're videos man and I hope I grow up to be as good as tech as you are.

The video was about seeing whether the destroyed macbook COULD be repaired. The goal was to use as many of the original parts as possible. I'd already bought the extra top casing and rear panel days before finding the "parts" MacBook. If I didn't use the original logic board from the destroyed Mac, it would've been a pretty pointless exercise. Effectively taking nothing from the original machine.

You could have made an all in one instead of paying for the screen and the bottom casing. Dont think it would have been that bad or hard

Thank you for the time you devote to your channel and the videos you create. May I ask about the eucalyptus spray you used as one of your final steps on restoration. Would tell us a bit about the spray and if its an aerosol the volume of oil in the spray? Would you consider a channel video where you highlight the different chemicals you're using. Thank you again.
