A1989 Macbook not charging: this has a different power rail order, but that's no problem at all

[@pldaniels]

@12:30 Feature request of big blinking center zoom with arrows pointing to the center and loud speaker screaming "It's in da middle", and then a groin punch to deliver the respect earned - got it.

[@pantelisEVs]

Thanks Louis. By far, this repair was one of the best you've done because you explained everything so nicely and it was really imformative. Know that repairs are not as appealling as your other videos but for us the few we really appreciate it. BIG thanks and i hope you'll have a GREAT day!❤

[@BillAnt]

And let's not forget, Louis got lots of balls. :D

the best part of this video is despite the editing, it has a happy ending including an evil laugh - muhaHAHAHAHAHA

[@DarkWiNKenzo]

We watched the video cbc news made that included your video about how kuch the genius bar can make you pay more than a 1000$ yesterday in my philosophy class. Pretty cool!

[@stanhristov]

Thank Louis, nice to see a good old school board repair. I miss these now. You are the King of macbook repair. Thank you!

[@thatguyalex2835]

It would be nice if Mac made their boards more modular, like the Framework Laptop, cos it is easier to fix, but then Rossmann would be almost out of business.

[@markusallport1276]

I miss these board repairs, It's good to see you doing it again.

[@Electracarbine]

I love this! Although you've moved on to other topics recently (which I also enjoy quite a bit!), you are continuing to gain two audiences through this one channel. Genius.

I thought Louis was legitimately going to repair a macbook from 1989 and was like woah, then we got to the USB-C part and I was like wait....

[@thatguyalex2835]

Yep. Parts numbers are so confusing. Maybe, 1989 means the 1989th design revision, or something like that or a part #, or the MacBook was released 1989 days after the initial prototypes. I don't know, I'm not an engineer, yet. :)

[@sandraunterthiner9763]

I brought my iMac into a place here in town and asked if they knew you. While the guy is helping me at the front somebody from the back yells out, “Why would we follow him when we can do what he does??” It was simply a point of conversation and the guy was totally full of himself and obviously has a big ego 🙄 If I could I would much rather come to your shop 😀

Not a popular opinion but Apple have been pretty good, here in the sunny U.K. Because they have to be. It’s your laws that are bad. Shame you have lunatics that push it too far.

[@Ariannus]

I read "A 1989 Macbook" and I thought Louis was going to repair a Macintosh Portable. Slightly disappointed that it's just a regular Macbook.

[@firstnamelastname3811]

yeah same here

[@ninetales1234]

Me, too, thought this was going to be a lecture about how, in 1989, their efforts to *hide* or *close* the architecture of their products, was not as advanced or pernicious as they are today, and thus, it was going to be very easy to repair.

[@krisztiannemeth6148]

I liked the classic fix video and also the thoughts about somebody considered genius just because he can do something i can't. Way to go, Louis. Lately I've fixed my electric stove and even the main board (PCB) of my gas boiler/furnace. It was cheaper than calling a technician, quicker, but the best part? Being proud of my work and seeing that my wife is proud of me, too. Thanks for your videos! And yes, I did learn something. Quite a lot, actually.

[@blunaa943]

Louis, I fucking love you. I had the exact same issue so i followed every single step, I was missing one piece of equipment though, a lab psu or a voltage injection tool. So I thought to myself "what would Louis do?" and soldered a crocodile clamp and a cable to a 1.5V AA Battery. Found the short, removed the cap. Greetings from Germany!

[@chubbymoth5810]

Big thanks for showing the workflow and methods in such detail. I somehow find it comforting to see you work and talk about it. The auey test looked familiar to me. I get that far at least,...

[@giomjava]

cool debug!! When I look for shorts, to prevent killing other things (like burning traces), I set up a Current Limit to 1-2 amps. Love your OWIE approach, Louis!! Keep up this fixer detective series!

[@wobbles7915]

I dont even really like computers (prefer mechanical things), let alone macs but its always soothing to watch an expert showcase their skills.

[@looksinfectious9642]

Tell me about it, I’m a mechanical engineer. The only way I can understand electronics is if it’s expressed in terms of fluid dynamics. Best analogy is always to compare electrical systems to a closed thermodynamic system, just treat the voltage as mass and current as flow rate.

[@Araretoy]

Love the owie test. Fingers never lie with heat. Yes, that is hot.

[@Remowylliams]

Not sure why, but I enjoy your repair videos more than your talking head videos. Not that the topics you cover aren't important. I just like seeing good trouble shooting.

[@ZanZunGarcGurc]

We'll try to figure out whats gets hot using the au methot. I would usually use the thermal camera but I'm using linux and nothing work with lunix. So I can not use the thermal camera that I have with lunix because... well lunix. Oh there is no software for it. There I guess there would be if I coded it myself. But I'm not smart enough to do that. I'm barely even smart enough to use software that other people code for me like Paul Denials. So how do I be smart enough to code my own. _I am not a smart person. You just think I am smart because I know how to do something that you don't know how to do. And that is one of the biggest _*_fallacies(yanlış düşünce)_*_ in the world when people call people smarter-geniuses, because they can see that they know how to something they don't. It's one of the _*_coping mechanisms_*_ people have. It is coping mechanism. You see.. _*_If you say, instead of saying that is a normal person that knows how to do something I don't. It's like: Ok well.. you could learn it. Where as if you say Oh my god! That person is a genius! They're so smart! What you're doing is you are putting them above yourself to an extend that It kind of disables you from believing that you can actually accomplish what they've accomplised._*_ Which is why It's very important to me though always maintain on this channel (youtube) that I am an idiot! I am not going to give any of you an excuse to not learn, at least try to learn how to do what it is that I do. And that is the idea._ Get more people fixing things. Get more peaole learning. Get more macbook out of landfills. This was the best part for me. Always enjoing these kind of talk when you are doing your repairs.. Thanks again.
