When you rebuild the MacBook and it has a failed part. It makes watching the video satisfying to your viewers. Just because you have the problems that everybody else experiences. Then you go back and fix it a second time. That makes watching your video even more satisfying! Keep doing what you’re doing, it works! Be safe.

[@Tronicsfix]

Hi

[@likwidkool]

i don't think I have come across one video that I haven't watched the full thing. I am a recent Apple convert. I was overclocking and water cooling pc's 20 years ago. I bought my first iPhone in October, and really started opening my eyes to Apple. I grabbed my wife's old 6,1 Macbook and did a ram and ssd upgrade and installed Catalina. Just did the same with my sister in law's 7,1 Macbook Pro. I miss doing these kind of things. I am trying to figure out a way to continue fixing these old macbook's up and your channel has given me so much inspiration. Thanks!

Screen assembly is literally 1 plug,few antenna plugs and 6 screws, I've never came across an easier display to replace(If we're talking a whole assembly, if the display was fixed and I mean unglue the glass protector with a heatgun and replace the lcd itself, then yeah, it's pretty difficult) but overall it's as easy as taking a gameboy apart, had more trouble diassembling nintendo ds than macbooks for the past 7 years lol

Luke, great story. 👍 Reworked and serviced many macbooks from „the more serviceable years“ (2006/2009/2010/2011/2012) myself, so am I very impressed to see you this completely mangled 2017 one. Great work, great music, fine sense of humor. Keep on keeping on and stay healthy!

I LOVE your videos! You inspired me to try my own repair for the first time. I had a Chromebook with a bad battery, so I did my research on iFixit and bought a refurbished toolkit and a replacement battery on Ebay (following your tips to make sure I found a good seller) and BOOM - problem fixed!! This saved me over $500. I have followed you for a couple years now and love the content and your sense of humor!

[@marcmiyamoto]

Sebi's Random Tech I don’t believe he would be able to the battery is glued extensively to the top case and it’s bent

[@doomboots]

8@@marcmiyamoto The batteries in these machines aren't just one single cell, they have leads running to each of those pouches and are frighteningly flexible should you ever find yourself handling one that isnt glued in. I wouldn't be surprise if, even with that level of damage, the battery is just fine to continue using. As for removal, there are liquid solutions you can use to release the adhesive and get the battery out. With everything else destroyed, a heatgun and some alcohol should do just fine. ** I should mention the heat is applied to the palmrest, not directly to the battery** Then something like dental floss can be used to slice through the glue, releasing the battery. Ifixit has some great guides detailing this.
