[@lazygamemaster748]

It's funny. I do board repair in the navy occasionally, and I have watched a lot of repair content. But I didn't actually know this was a repair channel, thought it was more of an activism and economic channel. This was a solid repair executed in a way that teaches people. How you talk to your students is very similar to how I teach junior folks I'm gunna have to go back and watch more of your repair content

[@teejmiller]

I've been watching for years, this is one of your best videos yet! I hope you keep the will to make us quality videos but please don't get burnt out again!

[@junothescarecrow]

I'm so glad you are still giving us apple help content. I haven't been watching, and it makes me feel sad to not help support as much as I want to. Your knowledge is such a joy for me and my life. Thank you so much louis.

Don’t feel guilty for trying to improve the lives of your employees. You didn’t cause COVID or the crappy GOVT response. Although the outcome is not what you wanted, the effort to provide a better working environment is not in vain. Your employees do understand.

[@rossmanngroup]

I made it worse. Having higher rent with less business means less money to pay them bonuses they earned and deserve. Moving in January 2020 was the equivalent of buying $GME on margin at $450/share. It's hard for me to forgive myself for such idiocy.... Do I know how to time things or what?

[@StromboliKicks]

thanks for the powerpoint Louis. I'll definitely have a look at it. I'm trying to find some literature about electronics that finally resonates with my dumb mind. I liked your explanations in this video, so I'm hoping the .ppt keeps the same tone.

[@theomillstorm7367]

THIS is what I come here for. This is the best video I’ve seen of yours in a long time! Thank you for being so explanatory. I’ve learned more from this one than I’ve learned watching you the last couple of years (and I’ve learned a lot!!).

WOOHOO BOARD REPAIR VIDEOS ARE BACK. While I probably will never do this kind of stuff, I'm still on board with right to repair, I do believe Louis' commentary videos have valid points, I still enjoy watching the board repairs.

I love Louis' teaching manner. It reminds me of my old military tech school instructors. "I just told you the answer. Why did you give me a wrong answer? Maybe you aren't getting enough blood flow to your brain. Do 20 burpees and then try again."

[@Vinnie2x]

GOOOOD VIDEO. Love it when you focus and comment strictly on the repair 😃 PS. After Apple Logo Appears you say Fan Spin but the Fan is NOT Spinning. :) I worked on a A1707. Similar. No fan spin until Battery is connected on this model. Believe it OR NOT!

[@djpanther9621]

Louis, you inspired me to upgrade my soldering skills to the micro world! I had a DJI Spark micro usb connector get destroyed (for the 2nd time!) due to its shite design> With a decent microscope, I was able to remove the old connector, clean up the pads etc. and will put a new connector on...a new level of skillz to fix various other things into the future....thanking YOU!!

For every short cat vid I watch from you, I know I gotta help you spread the word giving longer watch time with these vids. Look forward to you coming back to the hotspots of r2r legislation. I missed out paying attention to these regulations and at this point here to stop it getting worse

[@rafkong]

Wow!!! I haven’t seen you make a repair video in a looooooong time

[@blackpsalmmusic9180]

I spent 16 hours cleaning and updating components on my A1708 and as soon as I put it on the counter to charge, my cat knocked it down and totaled it. Watching this video gave me ptsd. Great content though!

[@instrukcion14]

you do not need to remove the fuse. Just inject voltage before and after the fuse and take a look at whether the fuse is getting hot to not. If is getting hot, then you know that short-circuited current is travelling via fuse and the fault gonna be on that side.

[@alternamasaki429]

Stream chat sometimes is just too dense to follow, but even i, who can't use any of these informations, understood so much.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

There is a rule of thumb, if you can keep your finger on the component for more than a second or two then it's less than 60°C, if it leaves an imprint of the component then its F'in HOT.

[@greemstrider]

I like this thumbnail. A happy Louis. Good. It is as it should be!

[@mortenhundevad]

@Louis Rossman i belive your measuting stradegy is less efficiant than it could be. yes you could do EG: 1-10 (assuming there are 10 points) This is how you should do it 5 7 (8or9) 10 (assumed the error is at 10, of cause you would not know this.) Halfing method the fastest. that said if you only have 3 points it don't really matter much keep up the good work

[@stanimir4197]

Ignoring the amp. reading, which likely tells you the faulty one; the fastest way to find them would be use of binary search. So starting in the middle would be the correct way, of course with so few of them log2 is not so much of an improvement.
