Man your repair videos are impressive as hell. I didn't even think half of what you do in 5 minutes was even possible before I found your channel. Trust me, maybe fewer people watch the repair vids, but they are your experts in the making. Truly masterful, seems like nothing to you, but thats probably why Apple would rather throw the whole board away, because they can't find people that can do that sort of a repair, that quickly and efficiently. Hope you read this man, I know what its like to struggle with self image issues and constantly doubting yourself. Seems like you've honed it into a skill that more closely resembles artwork in the fluidity and execution of your diag and simple things first mentality. I hope people are watching because its simple videos like this that keep the world in one piece.

[@stevedvera]

I’ve been watching your videos for several years. Always impressed by your tenacious and resilient approach to success. I love the way you never give up. The way you actually FIX computers. Being HONEST. Not a shyster or a charlatan like many businesses. A young man of character and ability always striving for excellency.

[@doctorknows3407]

I have zero interest in fixing Macbooks, I was just checking in hoping you went off on one of your classic rants about overpriced real estate or the whole GME fiasco. Still, I found this very interesting. I will continue to watch this channel regularly (but hoping for more rants). Thanks!

[@stereson5970]

Hey Louis I just wanted to say that over the last year watching a lot of your videos it really inspired me to take a change in what kind of work I am doing. I used to run a pet store as a GM at 21 but randomly found one of your videos and really like the idea of right to repair and not wasting materials for no other reason than companies wanting to nickel and dime repair costs. I quit my job last June during the pandemic (yikes I know lol) and started to work at a cellphone repair shop that does some laptops and other electronics as well. I just want to say thanks for showing me something that I had no idea I could be so interested in and decently good at. Sincerely Ethan
