A1708 Macbook Pro stuck at 5v, 35 mA no power logic board repair 820-00840

[@anointedpianoplayer]

The Bob Ross of fixing computers. Though we’re few who love these videos, they are greatly appreciated. If you stop this type of video, I’d just have to watch reruns of your older videos over and over

[@tetra1974]

Even if Louis repeat the same repair on similar machines, his saltiness & topics of the day varies. It never gets old, but Apple product defects are a bit long on the tooth.

[@neruneri]

I think the donation about the guy who became an engineer and suddenly understood the value of what you're talking about with regards to right to repair, is likely sincere. I am one among many among your subscribers who never even considered right to repair as an issue, I was completely unaware that people are actually trying to take that right away from us and always just assumed it was obviously a right we have. It was uncomfortable but necessary to come to realize through your videos that we don't have a RIGHT to repair currently, we have a privilege, sometimes. What's uncomfortable about that is that there's a philosophical implication that naturally follows - if we don't have a right to repair things we own, then it means we don't own them 100%. If the companies can intervene in our right to exercise ownership through modification and maintenance, then we're not fully owning the things we buy, we're effectively just renting them.

[@ZealofSparta]

It still amazes me that Louis can rapid fire off the code name/numbers for the components so accurately what seems like every time. He either has a very sharp memory for his "advanced age" or he has done this so many times now it is engrained into his very soul. Keep up the wonderful work Louis, I may not have the time to watch every single board repair video but I do enjoy them!

[@nathangehman7018]

Louis, you have mentioned that people don't really seem to care much about the videos you make on mac repair. I just want to let you know that for many of us, this is not the case. I was never hitting the bell when I subscribe, so I only got what KZbin thought was popular. I have since remedied this, and look forward to all your future mac repair videos, regardless of their frequency of posting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!

Really like how well you explained every decision and I could easily follow the work flow. One of the best ones from you i've seen. Please do this more. Thanks

I had a bunch of videos to choose from, but Louis doing a near half-hour video was an easy pick. Now out of the corner of my eye, I spot an unwatched hour long video....I know what I'm watching to start my day tomorrow! :)

[@likearockcm]

Louis seems mildly happier this year and even cracking some funnies ! Good news

[@sparely]

i find your videos very helpful most other videos are boring as hell and hard to follow but the way you describe what your doing and why helps it stick in my mind thanks keep making great videos!

A good board repair session Luis. Tnx. I stayed awake. Unfortunately I would have HAD to find out what cap was bad ! OCD I guess. I feel bad for the caps that were good, getting removed for no fault of their own...

Thanks Louis for continuing board repair Videos. Enjoy on the replay due to late notifications.

Do some videos on newer boards brah !!! Like A2251, 2141, 1990s, etc I don't understand them mayne.

[@zeeblefritz]

Hi Louis, I did learn something. Not enough to repair a board, but something.

[@Rusty_Gold85]

We would have heavy wire to wire faults on copper phone cable network a/c 52 voltage . Very hard to locate position and would create contact to other pairs that was also hard to find . I later learnt it would be disguised by house phones capacitors so they had to be isolated first . But the way to discover them is testing all cables in their sizes from the pillar looking for groups of faults in 10 pair wide selections . It was a days good hunting them down

An amazing intro for the times

[@Mr.Unacceptable]

I wish there was a job that told me what to solder where. I'm great on the bench and love soldering. It's the EE knowledge I'm just not getting to my own satisfaction. Been practicing with Ipods because I at least break even on them. Only make money on the large ones. Having trouble finding some of the parts though. Wish that digikey site was easier to search. Need the 15 pin LCD flex connector. About 50 of them. I know they are on the site because I found them once.

[@VincentTubed]

Just wondering why you complain about Paul Daniels software :) ? Pretty great, especially for being free. As is Linux. Thanks for sharing, always nice to learn something!

[@Sweeneytv]

lmfaooo that intro

[@tomwilliam5118]

I suffer from shaky hands it's called essential tremors. It's related to fine motor skills. I take primidone which has helped immensely. It takes a little getting used to. You have to ramp up the dosage. A doctor can explain all that. Also it seems to make me dream more especially odd dreams

Two to three years from now

[@chabad360]

@@rossmanngroup is it possible that you could get your hands on one and make some sort of exploration of the device to get an ide how hard repair might be and where the issues might lie? I kinda might want to get one (they're soo fast, and linux will probably be working with them soon), and I dont want to get something I know is gonna crap on me in just a few years...

[@taherrp481]

Nice job man, an AASP learned smthng😁

[@annierenard5954]

thank you

[@NebukadV]

You should not rely so much on that Ohms measurement being 160 Ohms. A resistor has a constant resistiance, as long as you don't blow it up. But a "shorted"/bad capacitor has no reason to have a constant resistance. It might have 160 Ohms at the particular current, your DMM is putting out to measure it. But it might have a totally different resistance, once you actually put 5 V on it.

[@IlainaM]

I have a MacBook Pro. Cat spilled h2o on it and it no longer boots. Less than a year old. Apple won’t fix for less then the cost of new MacBook so being electrical engineers we open it to try to gently remove corrosion. We gently brush ICs with soft brush and resistors start coming off. We turn them over and they are missing solder to hold them on board. Don’t know how it ever worked but really! Apple wouldn’t support because we opened. We stopped touching it but I’m sure more will come off. Worse than crappy work. Need to find schematic may give it a try fixing.

[@teeteearrr]

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 at the moment but I will soon upgrade to Ubuntu 20. I've used Kali Linux, Debian, Arch, Manjaro and also CentOS. My favorite linux distros are the debian-based ones. Once you know your way around, it is more reliable than Windows. Even Microsoft uses Linux for their own services. @Brad Haines add me on discord: TTR#3522 and I'd be happy to have a conversation. (Need to know a bit more about said laptop to help you)

@10:10 I am confused. "I found the short". Was this caused by Melvin Capital? (Note: regular viewers of Louis channel might not get this joke.)

[@kf5tqnkf5tqn36]

160ohm short to ground would be enough to kill that diode because MakBook.

[@WoollyMittens]

Apple would have started by putting their elbow through the board. Good work!

[@TonyToneFixMyPhone]

Don't say it will crash bro. It will correct a bit maybe. Rebuy like rehot.

[@SelecaoOfMidas]

Gotta be careful either way. Even a correction can do so major economic damage.

I have a similar problem with my board. 5.2V and 10mA. USB C Port Controller is getting 2.8V from PP3V3_G3H. Would you say that there's a short somewhere on that line or the U6990 is malfunctioning (yes it is enabled at 4.8V and diode output is constant at 4V) or there's a problem with the USB C Port Controller? Any leads would be appreciated.
