A Macbook board repair, featuring Louis Rossmann

[@bj97301]

Gotta keep in mind your audience. It’s people who want to learn not who already know. Don’t get frustrated when people don’t know the answer.

[@rossmanngroup]

you had to be there to get it, people who've been subscribers for 8 years were purposely giving ridiculous wrong answers to troll me. it worked. It was a quality troll. :)

[@bj97301]

@@rossmanngroup ahhhh 😂. Well got me too. I was afraid you were getting frustrated and may be getting discouraged with posting these videos. Not like I ever plan to repair laptops like you but I like seeing you happy and ambitious.

[@strawmanfallacy]

I've been binging your older board repairs all day. Puts me in a good diagnostic mood. I used to listen to them while working trouble tickets/cases as a network technician for At&T wireless. It's good stuff. Thanks.

[@nealedowling]

Louis. I'm in IT service management, and am tech curious. I've been watching your videos for a year or two. I have never owned a MacBook, and despite curious interest, have no real hardware repair skills whatsoever. However, while watching this one, I was screaming out PP342_G3HOT is not powering the SMC. Point is... I enjoy your videos. I like you as person, and have huge respect for your convictions. I have a guy air station and have done some limited SMC work with it, thanks to you. I was screaming the answer at my TV while you were getting frustrated at the chat. Your life philosophy, your values, your work ethics, and what you have shared and taught people like me deserves huge respect. I get just as frustrated as you... But at you for being so hard on yourself. But that's Louis, and that what drives your uncompromising, profoundly just stance. So while you get frustrated incorrectly thinking that 7 years and nobody has learnt anything (must have been a bunch of Muppets in the chat at that time), I incorrectly get frustrated at you being so hard on yourself. If it's what drives you, you do you. Do recognise though, that you have taught a lot to many, and that through your videos, you have admirers and supporters around the globe that respect you and want nothing but the best for you. Even though they spell words in a way that frustrates you. 😁✌️☮️

[@isahizhenfahm6576]

So happy to get a board repair videos. I feel so elated right now.

[@zsoltsu]

I enjoy each of your repair videos. The most important thing that you want to help everyone to fix their stuff and not just make money! Man with a big heart full of passion!

[@dok7072]

Please don’t stop doing your board repair videos! Been watching for a long time- not 7 years, maybe about 4- but would be sad to lose these!

[@Diplako]

am gonna be honest , i know nothin about electronics or chipsets or anythin of what u do as am dental technician , but i just find ur videos so exciting , that amount of knowledge u have is so amazin , ive been following u for at least 2 years and i still enjoy ur videos

[@salmanul_fares]

it's so satisfying when he says model and part numbers

[@neakmenter]

You have a great giving heart. For all your snark and necessary profits, you are giving so so much to so many. Please keep on doing exactly what you’re doing!

[@HPD1171]

wait this is an electronics repair channel? I thought it was a real-estate / cat channel. I DEMMAND MORE CATS!!!

Strange, I though this was for investing advice.

[@LKonstantina915]

this joke has gotten old ToT

[@stevecorcoran9869]

Shilling is definitely acceptable from an individual who has spent years providing free education to anyone who is interested. With as crazy as our world has become, some days I wonder why you have given so freely of your knowledge. Usually, I then remember why I spent a decade & a half in the military, being well aware that I would be paid shit & have people shooting at me and I realize that, even though we are from far different places since I grew up in the middle of Montana, our country is one of the last places where most citizens are taught by their parents that it is your duty to sacrifice what you have to to make things better for those who come after you. Thanks Louis, your patriotism over the last decade is much appreciated. I may never do board repair for a living, but I could if I had to thanks to your constant sacrifice & tutelage.

[@ttm9379]

I like the board repair videos as well. Watch everyone been watching them for years. Thanks for your time. And I may not be able to answer your questions. But watching your Videos are not a waste of time. I have fixed multiple problems with wiring and modules on vehicles. Your process works the same way for finding the problems on multiple things not just mac books and also have done minor board repairs on multiple different things and save loads of money over the years. Thanks again I hope I always see these board repair videos.

[@OzzieOz80]

For what it’s worth, I listen to and watch your videos to support you and I live for your commentary, but I stopped working on my own computers in 2004. Don’t stop making videos! It gets me through my workdays!

[@brokedude1663]

These are My favorite vids I don't mind the other content, but repair vids are why I keep checking out for this channel

[@Collinormous]

Thanks for providing all the resources that you do! I recently bought a liquid damaged MacBook Pro off eBay with the intent of learning board repair, and actually got the board up and running again! It's such a rewarding feeling when you get that fan spin and hear the Apple chime. Thanks again!

[@claycoates5056]

This is SOOO much fun to watch thank you for your time

[@benjaminmawson2449]

Most recent macbook repair video I saw, I just got my 2020 macbook pro back from them today, they have excellent service! very friendly and clear and quick communication. Along, with a very clear page with the invoice and message center. Will definitely use them for future repairs!

[@Cantor214]

At 14:24 it reminds me of surgery video I saw where the doctor was scraping a cholesteatoma out of an ear. Louis would have made a great surgeon.

[@benfeliz9356]

You really a teacher. I enjoy watching you. Thanks.........

[@hlaminto2008]

Its about time you go back to the book. Fixing boards. Less stress and more pleasure. 👍🏻

[@satellitekid7953]

Crystal clear! Why did the guy say its the ppbus_g3hot? I think it was the 18v that become 3.42v completing the 1wire circuit.

[@alexbaxthedarkside]

Thanks for all the encouragement with Mac repairs Lewis, it's really appreciated, onwards and upwards! ^^

[@ckarouach]

Thank you very much man

[@randyr.parker2698]

Thanks for the repair video this Sunday evening Louis, I truly appreciate them! :)

[@bjm23vancity92]

No idea how to fix them, but enjoy your videos and learning how you do it…

[@Qupear]

18:10 You may not know where the South Pole of planet Earth is located, but you need to know that the PP3v4_G3hot resistor is responsible for the green light.

[@Nebulorum]

Great work and support to the community

[@bertblankenstein3738]

Could've sworn that the chip above that resistor was cracked. Appreciate the repair video.

[@WellsTechandRepair]

8:47 why did you choose that inductor to test for PP3V42_G3H? Was it just chance that the corrosion was found at that test point?

[@lastschicker]

not a big deal but thanks to youtubers like you I got a basic multimeter and am able to do simple problem determination like is a 13A fuse good or is a charger outputting voltage etc - Thank you

[@Avtovaz21057]

The Bob Ross of board repair. His intro is legit.

First 15 minutes was pretty much "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." 😂

[@Bassotronics]

@ 18:10 "If this thing gets dropped off of a building, and the SSD is dead, and the screen is broken, AND THE CPU'S _BALLS_ ARE POPPING OUT....." LMAO!!! 😂🤣

[@MyklCarlton]

Thanks for this! Just a tiny request - can you change the mouse pointer to a solid colour, maybe just a fraction larger? Kinda hard to determine exactly what you're pointing at.

[@_Stetsi]

Good stuff! Learning as I go!

A repair video from rossmann by rosmann after a long time.

[@denvera1g1]

A wonderful return to form :)

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Louis I would seriously like to hear you do a rap with the serial number call and wire route business... 😆 I probably have been watching for eight years on and off and I would’ve answered all the questions wrong but I know how to spray alcohol on the circuitboard to find out which resistors burning up so thanks for that. Love, a sub.

[@bizzehdee]

As soon as you said "its how you use it".. i was waiting for the "its not how big it is, its how you use it" joke to come, and you did not dissapoint 😁

[@Chris_Fer]

Man, after watching this video, this reminded me how repairs are done in some parts in Mumbai. If you are able to market this stuff there somehow it can be a good way to prppogate and montnitize this video. Or your training course to be more specific. Parts are kind of available in black markets like chor bazar, or few specific districts in Mumbai. Lot's of electronic components.

[@vicrod74]

Love the entertaining comments lol! As always good work Louis! :)

[@fist003]

a good asmr video for my nap

[@ChrisGrazioli]

Yeah... you guys don't exist. Hahahah I love this guy

[@MrDoneboy]

I love the way that you diagnosed the board problem, at 12:39, Louis. Yet you always say, that you have no knowledge, of how all of this stuff works?

[@RyanS493]

Who needs this much zoom out??? Haha Good one!

[@JaiHaze]

I tried reaching out to your texas location to repair a screen on the m3 pro. It has a puncture on it from something being in the case when i closed it. Do you know how long it will be before you can do the service?

[@producdevity]

“How you use it is more important than how big it is” 😂

[@DoctorWhom]

10:45 you need to trick paul danials software into thinking your pdfs are Texas sized

[@arielportillo7306]

Tank you very much Louis for your videos! One question, what oscilloscope do you recommend? Thanks!

[@christiand2426]

I always gotta check what speed the Video is on, only to realise its actually on 1x not 1.5x. Louis is just so fast, he makes me think im slow. haha

i have a macbook pro mid 2012 and it didnt boot .. i left it for many years sitting in the corner .. then one day i decided.. lets try it again .. of course it still didnt boot.. so i put in the freezer for an hour .. and then took it out .. booted immediately .. and its been on ever since .. i dont use it at all.. the keyboard is still dead lol..

[@iOSAndroidRebelForever]

Guess what: my logic board of the 2019 MacBook Pro with T2 chip just died and I am thinking of fixing it with you in several days in New York. I broke the Mac on 12 November, so what a coincidence!

[@vicyoslinuxofficial2607]

Hey, guys. What's the name of the tool Louis is using to know how many power the board is taking? I'm talking about those numbers on the left top corner of this video. Thx.😊

[@darkrinshade4363]

3:00 - proceeds to pause video and go back 7 years

[@bdoleza]

check the 1-wire circuit

[@JullarMusic]

Lmfao “7 years of free education and nobody gets it still” yep, sounds about right 😭😭

[@chemputer]

Well, I wasn't in Twitch but fuck I know PP3V42_G3H is the answer just because how many times you say it. Macbook no boot troubleshooting: 1. Make sure it's plugged in, on both ends, in a working outlet. 2. Push the power button, because yes, Macs DO have power buttons. 3. Check PP3V42_G3H.

[@michaelwebber4033]

The one wire circuit runs the green light

[@producdevity]

The people who know the answer are probably not watching your video's but doing MacBook repairs because of you

[@macpb2892]

Would you like to repair vintage Macintosh board from the 90's? I own two Quadra 950 logicboard with a short somewhere!

[@rafaelmartins12345]

Dear Louis, just out of curiosity, there's some specific reason to pull trivial parts like capacitors from donor boards instead of using new parts? Maybe even apple capacitors are somewhat special?

[@kityacat5419]

He said that its not worth it to waste time looking up capacitors value on the scheme and pull up a book with collection of them. It's much faster to grab already dead board and take it from here. As a bonus, you are actually using donor boards for free parts

[@rafaelmartins12345]

@@kityacat5419 makes sense. Thank you

How long before laptop sales drop off so much that they won't be manufactured. Smart Phones will do it all and they will be preferred but not as easily repaired. Do you have any stats on the number of repairs you have done each year and the decline in numbers?
