Fixing a Macbook logic board - A1707 5v 0.00 amp draw

[@AlbertScherman]

I know this is not the place, but thought I'd give Louis and his store some credit. I have a HP laptop that had water damage. I fixed the laptop, but noticed one of the resistors broke off, and the laptop doesn't switch on unless it's plugged in. It still charges, and if I plug it out after switching on, it works. I sent Rossmann group an email, asking for assistance. They responded that they don't deal with HP laptops, but sent me contact details for 2 companies that could help. I'm not even a potential customer, and they still helped!

[@danielabbey7726]

Very generous of you to incorporate actual board repair stats in the Wiki. Not very many companies would make their "proprietary data" available to the public!

The great one noticed me!!!

[@CSGhostAnimation]

Hey this may be clickbaity, but if you can get repair estimates from apple from all your clients then you could format your videos like this: $1200 repaired for $100 [Macbook air CPU water damage] $1500 repaired for $10 [Macbook Pro cable resolder] $2500 repaired for $0 [Mac Pro RAM reseat] Money talks.

[@laserbeamlightning]

Once people SEE that it’s cheaper, then hopefully, right to repair maybe gets a needed boost? Who knows but I can only see this helping the cause

[@jamescanjuggle]

that would be a great selling point that doesnt twist any info. good suggestion

[@tylercherneski1805]

Needs to be all caps

[@imightbebiased9311]

Yeah, it'd kind be like when people open up packs of cards and put up their valuations as a running total in the top corner. Louis could keep a running tab of how much he saved vs. customer estimates.

[@Justice-Seeker]

To the Rossmann employee waging the Cuomo war, I salute you.

[@xeveniahdarkwind178]

The Cuomo meme employee.. .. you made me laugh hard enough I farted... keep the Cuomo war up and you can't be fired over freedom of expression... Tho louis putting it in the urinal is hilarious.. thanks for the laugh if he figures you out... run and unplug his ebike batteries id loan you my eletric wheelchair for a fast getaway.... speed setting 4 Ludacris speed without going to plad...

[@rockshock914]

I recall you making a video about excessive midrolls on KZbin. I have a feeling you took some out, and for that, I want to personally thank you

[@weedn88]

Thank you for showing this, now i'm able to fix my Macbook byself. I find a defekt Capacitor (C6905) and a defekt Diode (D6902). You are a good Teacher. Greetings from Fanken Germany

Where did you get the schematics ?

[@stephengonzalez7200]

You're the man , I always learn. I'll watch all the repair vids and not leave. not a computer techee kind of guy, but I cant stop watching.

[@iomtom5954]

Good luck in your negotiations, Louis! Also, thank you for your faithfulness in providing high quality content day in and day out! That's our Christmas gift from you. Blessings!

[@KingJellyfishII]

the "ow" test is familiar with me, always helps to find the short, you seem to have the "proximity" upgrade ("ooOW") as well

[@n2n8sda]

What you talking about Louis, as per apples bulletin there are no reported problems with the flex cable, you are simply opening it incorrectly.

[@greenmarine5]

"I keep relocating this to my urinal for obvious reasons"....LOL awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep up the great work Mr. Rossmann

[@emailfilters]

23:43 - This channel never ceases to Amaze! Here, Louis compares data recovery to extracting blood of different types.

[@BuilditFunky]

Don't ever feel guilty for taking time for yourself. I spent extra hours at work repairing ovens, coffee makers, compressed nat gas systems, fuel dispensers, car washes...only to find there were only more broken things(side note, not because I got called back all the time lol). There will always be broken things that need your attention no mater how many hours you work. Enjoy the holidays.

[@Chrisfeb68]

I know nothing about the internal workings of a computer but I find this video fascinating.

[@WickerOctopus]

Thanks for the community post. I would have missed this video otherwise.

[@Yarxov]

Merry christmas Louis, here's some viewer engagement on a board repair video.

[@mp79kf85]

Good luck and Happy Holidays from Wisconsin!

[@ShadowStrike29]

Glad you got your money back. It may not be an apples for apples replacement, but you still gotta celebrate the little wins.

[@hondaland_]

I would so work this job if I worked in NYC. I'm into soldering honda ECU's and love macs. Used to repair iPhones. I could have alot of fun! Love ur video and your freaking cats they are the best. I hope you find the meme bandit!

[@DavidFDot]

Just found this channel, Ive had a Macbook pro 13inch mid2012 and the only issue I have had with it is that it has lasted me so long that now it is totally obsolete. I'll get a new MacBook someday. Apple laptops, windows desktops 4ever.

[@encieno1]

Dude, you kick ass. The bruteforce with hardware and honesty within your videos kick ass. I have only been following this channel for a bit but wow. You know hardware. I watch some of the shit you do and it blows my mind, haha.. I've always been more less a software/infrastructure type of person for 20+ years(hobby into a career type of thing... eww)... I enjoy watching these videos and trying to learn the basics about hardware design and repair. That bike ride home the other day was awesome. I've not been to NYC in many years(luckily), but it was cool to watch that ride and listen to your thoughts.

The opening with the employee putting the cuomo face in the bathroom was absolutely hilarious, office banter keeps things light 😂

[@shadowbanned7575]

Thank you for everything, Louis. I came here to hear your take on Apple, and ended up staying to hear your ideas on literally everything else. You have great opinions, and they are very much appreciated 👍

Hey, financial advisor here, you are correct. Now is a terrible time to put money in the stock market. Cash is no better. Buy certificates of deposit for long term storage. It is the only thing that is stable now.

[@NongIng]

I remember going to get my iPhone SE1 battery changed (not sure why they name the new phone this year the same as the one I have) and I got it back with a faulty screen. Now I felt the area of the issue and it turns out they did not tighten all the screws in my phone right. Are you sure those geniuses in the back are actually geniuses? How does one not know the phone won’t close properly?

[@user-ty2uz4gb7v]

Louis, you replace many shorted caps. Can you discuss why ceramic smd caps end up being shorted. One cause is physical damage and thats observable. But what about when the cap looks ok. Seems the internal power layers are touching ground internally when they shouldn't be but what causes that. Is there a power spike? Is the dielectric failing?

[@amritlohia8240]

Another reason is the poor quality of capacitors they generally use.

[@fir3ball343]

I had a civic which had defective sun visors... They would separate and not hold in place... Anyways... They settled for numerous year models... But not mine or the following years... Despite it being the exact same part....

[@dtiydr]

17:11 I used my thermal camera on the video and I could instantly see that it was the cap.

[@DoronOverflow]

you have a company and employees (2020) and still do not have money for a thermal camera? but you damn smart guy! keep with the repairs

[@nether6209]

Don't those cost almost a thousand?

[@DoronOverflow]

@@nether6209 But it's irrelevant. say a thousand to a company that fixes mac mobo? That it's a tool also saves time and money (even for a private person that not much money) and by the way there are cheaper ones

[@rossmanngroup]

I have one. 99% of the time I find the short faster with my finger than it would take for me to walk across the store and grab the thermal camera. The people who make it about money and not having it are mostly clueless and have more ego than brain. This video, like many others, demonstrates that the short can often be found in less time than it would take to even turn on and plug in the thermal camera.

[@DoronOverflow]

@@rossmanngroup thank you for the answer, i watch 2-3 repair channel s like: northridge fix (and you) he's good but not really like you. you're a genius. you really analyze the whole motherboard and rely less on luck .i admire you if I had half of your brain i was on the wave

I am quietly hoping it is my MacBook Pro Louis is fixing 😌🙋🏽‍♀️🥳 , I did pay extra for a swift service .

[@BGTech1]

I got a destroyed a1502 MacBook Pro. The screen is broken. I used a charger and a external monitor and it works, it’s just still registered to someone’s Apple ID. Dose anyone know if I can sell it as a whole for parts for would it be a better option to take out the motherboard and just sell that? I thought if I take out the ssd the board it would no longer be attached to the account. Those motherboards are going for over $150 and I would love to get that money. Can anyone give me some advice?

The main reason I use my Mac is the operating system. One feature I really like on the Mac is mission control. I’ve used task viewer on my windows 10 machine that I built and still don’t like it. I’ve built a Debian Linux machine as well. If it weren’t for Jobs using Unix, Objective-C (C plus NextStep addition), their xwindows or Mac OS that runs on top on Unix they would not be where they are today. Linux is the future. I hate how Apple doesn’t allow me to upgrade or work on it like my Windows computer. I’m also a big fan of the Raspberry Pi.
