FANS on high or FAN on high? Touchbar Macbook logic board repair when running loud & slow.

I added this single fan on high issue repair to the wiki and also mentioned the issue with both fans on high. I have no details on that repair so I just put as much info as I could taken from this vid.

[@rossmanngroup]

Thank you & God bless you!

Mad respect to people who are really good at what they do. And it is shown on this channel!

This is why Paul is as great as he is. He is a Marine. Once a Marine. Always a Marine. Thank you, Paul.

[@soulife8383]

I think he did great. I also liked the Bob Ross vibes. But I gotta be honest, the lack of OCD to straighten the chip despite the fact it was good enough felt painful.

[@rossmanngroup]

paul has 10x the OCD I do. If he didn't straighten it... it just didn't need to be straightened. There are so many instances on this channel of me trying to make something perfect and then destroying everything and having to start from scratch.

[@soulife8383]

@@rossmanngroup oh, I didn't mean to reflect negative connotation or imply poor craftsmanship. Just *_my_* OCD

[@perwestermark8920]

It is harder to get it straight when one pad is missing. That wire isn't as thin as the lost pad. Why try t8 straighten a component that will always be a leaning tower?

[@mtx33]

​@@soulife8383 It's a 0,6*1 mm mosfet. I can't even imagine soldering it, let alone put it straight on a jumper wire. I'm impressed with you guys every day. :D

Thanks Paul your knowledge and work ethic are a true asset to Rossman Repair. Enjoy your streams and added bits of advice along the way.

You're a really good dude Louis. I hope everything, no matter what it is, works out for you.

[@akesvensson3778]

Good work Mr Rossman! I really support "The Right to Repair" !!!!

[@kc2sho]

Been repairing laptops for decades, still surprised and also not surprised when I have a failure, this is exactly what just happened.

[@randyneves9701]

I miss these repair videos!

[@nobodynoone2500]

Rule #1 of repair: Listen to the customer complaint, write it down, then ignore it and diag your way. Come back to the complaint to verify your work. (i.e. the customer is always wrong, but still to be respected.) Decent repair, different than I would have done it, but just as good. Thanks for sharing with the community.

[@Yukeena]

I would have attached it to my flux capacitor, and then ran the numbers again to see if it correlated with the original diagram, then tested it once more, and then I would have soldered it to the probe.

[@Tekniq1210]

Any places like this that anyone knows of that repair macs as good as Louis over here in the UK 🇬🇧 any help on this would be amazing ?

[@thestuff8023]

As always great vids 👍. Take care Paul... 🙂

[@dolamyte]

Coming from RF/wireless I've done repairs like this for almost 20 years, often using uncommon and whatever will work materials. If all my NASA/MIL and aerospace training means anything, this was well done! My only criticism initially is the q-tip you're using.

[@johnbos4637]

It's an Apple product so it doesn't deserve a quality q-tip!

[@Defgunt]

I have no experience in board repair but damn connecting those two nodes was impressive

[@Ferrarinfo]

thank you from brazil!!

[@rsuryase]

That is why you have beginner/intermediate/advance level classes. Not sure what level Louis's class is. Maybe have all 3 at different times.

[@bluephreakr]

Another Mac has become a PC! _Rejoice!_

[@neuropilot7310]

I haven't replaced the battery on my A1466 but figured I'd comment so Louis knows people watch repair vids

[@A2000MHz]

The battery on the old MacBook Air (A1466) is really easy to replace. If you need a new one you should just do it! It's all screws, and most replacement batteries come with the drivers to do the job.

[@QALibrary]

I believe this is one repair I have not seen before

[@alenasenie6928]

When i see the difference between louis and Paul I feel the same difference between me and one friend, I just make things work, he makes them work, but carefully, with steps I feel are unnecessary but the end product is better

[@Green_House]

You're the man! Such a nice clean job. 🙂

[@jdeltoro518]

Great repair job

[@mikeness5074]

It always amazes me that how small these components are !

[@GregoryMcLean]

Learned how to fix a broken trace. (I've done that a few times...)

[@pldaniels]

Seriously, who are these people who manage to break off parts like that all the time? I need more customers like that!

[@mostevil1082]

You've got Louis who breaks your software all the time....

[@TonyToneFixMyPhone]

Reheat fan IC - 500th thumb up. Woot woot. Mod those mugs to stay on high. LOL.

[@CrankyOldNerd]

Do you do logic board repair for other things? I have a Thinkpad X1 Tablet that the USB charging port was broken. The tablet worked great...until the battery died. As far as I could tell it works great, just that USB port it charged on doesn't send power anymore. I don't have the tools/expertise to fix the solder joint/port and can't find anyone local willing to do that kind of work. I'm capable of pulling the board out and just sending the board, but not component level stuff.

I like a good repair video, this was a good repair video!

[@RandomUser311]

2:10 as a software guy usually all I get is "it doesn't work" or "I can't do xyz". Can be a little frustrating sometimes since I do make an effort to generate helpful error messages.

[@kraio-sfu]

“I get an error” What did it say? “I don’t know”

[@Derfboy]

But when can I buy the damn microscope you use directly from you?! I know, import tariffs, etc...I just want to be able to get it AND support you at the same time. I'd gladly pay a little more knowing it's going to someone who will further the RtR initiative... 😎🤘

[@JOATiDetermined]

Thanks for the video! I’m experiencing this exact same issue with my A1707 2017 17” MacBook Pro. Where did you get the replacement MOSFET from? Cannot find the broken MOSFET anywhere and hoping you or someone in the comments can point me in the right direction.

[@rossmanngroup]

A donor board

[@JOATiDetermined]

@@rossmanngroup thanks for your quick reply! I just finished sending over a repair request form on your website about sending in my motherboard only to have this same repair performed. Would you happen to know what the cost and turnaround time is for this exact repair? Thanks!

[@rossmanngroup]

Usually flat rate of $325 for board repair, we don't take boards by themselves though

[@JOATiDetermined]

@@rossmanngroup Thanks for the reply. Is there any way I can opt out of any sort of fix verification if I opt to send the board only? It’s already been diagnosed as the issue and there were no traces ripped or lifted. Only the component is damaged so I’d like to get the component replaced and sent back. Thanks

[@rossmanngroup]

In terms of the chip, we can probably work out a discount if the pads aren't ripped or anything, where if replacing that fixes your problem you pay less, but it probably isn't going to be as cheap as you're looking for(I'm guessing sub $100). But we can work something out. In terms of sending *just the board* without the machine... I can't do that. :( I've been asked that before and it's a chargeback & 1 star review everytime. I'm sorry. I know I sound like a dick but 100% of the time when we accepted a board only repair it ended in chargeback and a 1 star, and everytime I make an exception the customer service person comes to my office and almost curses me out for forcing him to sit through a 20 minute phone call from an irate customer, so I have promised to stop doing this. If you want to try your hands at replacing the chip yourself for free, 11:30 - 6:30 PM CT, Monday-Friday, we are open for anyone to walk in and use a student station, soldering iron, hot air station, & microscope for you to give it a shot. No charge!

Was there a M1 already handed in? Guess no schematic‘s for that one.

Hey Louis have you ever fixed gpu's if seen tech cemetry videos recently very fun to watch he can even tell when certain parts of gpu likely died or when it can be saved doing measurements.

[@Skoolkidsproduction]

Does your store offer shipping to canada? Couldn't select it as an option but I swear it was there before.

[@robertheinrich2994]

nice video... but at minute 8:00 I'm not sure if that was a sufficient amount of flux ;-)

[@isahizhenfahm6576]

Sounds like an airport. Enjoyed the video though as always.

[@wisnoskij]

14:24 Is that not a crack on the component to the direct right of the replaced chip?

[@rzbkfan190]

It does appear to be.

[@michaeljames1893]

If you look a few seconds before it looks like a hair that he gets in the flux and stuck under the new FET.

[@VaradMahashabde]

Mufasa : Everything the light touches, is hard.

[@TheZoenGaming]

Damn. I'd say it's a bad design to have the FET there, and Apple obviously knows it is since the fan defaults to high if it's damaged.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Assuming they'd care about having a machine functional after someone worked on it.

[@TheZoenGaming]

@@HappyBeezerStudios Well, I assume that this could happen just as easily at the Apple Repair place.

[@wyterabitt2149]

I think you are reaching. Just because Apple has (many) issues, doesn't mean any conspiracy nonsense is valid. The speed makes sense from a technical side and isn't some conspiracy or anything to do with knowing - in fact if they knew and wanted to actually take advantage, it would be a lot better design it to fail if not regulated and no longer boot. And the placement complaint is just plain silly, you will never knock that off unless you specifically screw up. It might be slightly easier to screw up, but then like anyone working with fragile expensive things - just don't.

[@TheZoenGaming]

@@wyterabitt2149 Considering that he even says in the video that this is the most common failure on Macbooks, I don't believe that my complaint about the FET placement is silly.

[@Scrogan]

Surely you can just buy a bunch of those MOSFETs, or some equivalent, right? Surely there’s at least one cheap logic level MOSFET with the same footprint. For a common issue, it should be worth doing.

[@johnbos4637]

It's a common part. Not everything in a Mac is a proprietary part that can't be bought......
