Simple things to check first, MacBook Air A1466, No Power - LFC

[@QuentinStephens]

Have you considered printing off the job details and taping the printout to the laptop? It would make job tracking a lot easier.

[@Adamant_IT]

Lots of paper waste. I have a screen in front of me to track stuff 👌

[@OskarBlomkvist]

How did the middle pin look on the non working dc-in board? 🙂 Pin 3 is the one that communicates with the charger to produce green light

[@drayton359]

Love the high tech cleaning tool, first time I saw you using a toothbrush in another video I was surprised, never thought about that use before. Keep up the good work.

[@MrHristoB]

Bingo!!! This exactly what I was looking for as my macbook has developed exactly the same problems, with high spinning fans, slow performance and overload on the usb!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!

[@Syntaxa]

Brilliant Work as usual! Thank you!

[@Zwiesel66]

16:24 Actually you have to search very hard to find it under 40 €, most of the offers are at >80 € 😥

[@dansonwachira3003]

Great insightful video, appreciated

[@Rusty_Gold85]

One of the weirdest ideas I was shown as a Communication Tech .While out n about training and learning while on the Job we came across a joint broken lid and full of mud . The suggestion was add hot water with a new lid and shake it up. Then let the hot water evaporate. And it worked as all the foreign Battery was gone too

[@secozbay]

thank you for great tips.

[@onewheelnut]

Love the Bob Ross original you have on the bench😂

[@laidback4evr]

I bought the special screw driver kit I needed to open it up and then you said to clean the port with a toothbrush and that fixed it lol

[@KmockRepairs]

Question, what would cause the fan to intermittentelly spin up the off when plugged in and no startup sound or display on the a1466

[@MarioLopez-xw8ju]

Hello, perfect analisis. 👍

[@AbhinavKumarSahai]

Sir, Battery charging so green light Keyboard okay as SMC command but while running the A1466 shutdown automatically pls help 😢

[@johnnycagemedia4699]

Hello, What can be done to my MacBook Air 2018 that the keyboard light isn't coming on and the camera for face time

[@truthruster]

I have an A2337 model M1 Air, it seems to not shutdown properly when clicking on shutdown from Apple menu. It just restarts. Also, it does not sleep when clicking on sleep. Goes into lock screen and then keeps turning display on and off every few seconds. Any clue on what could be causing these issues?

[@gordslater]

What flavour paste do you use? I've tried Lidl gel and MacLeans whitening but it just makes more of a mess

[@chronotrigger2000]

Where do you get your music from? It's really cool. I forget if I already asked this or not lol.

[@Adamant_IT]

Most of the music I use is by Synthis or Thomas Hood. This one is an unreleased doodle by Synthis: samsynthis.tumblr.com/post/116279235331/i-might-try-to-make-a-quick-little-thing-like-this

[@keithsweat7513]

Did you ever have a magsafe or any other indicator on other machines where the LED was just burned out and fibbing about the situation?

[@Adamant_IT]

I've not seen that happen, no. However, I take the charger LED as "more information" not an assurance that the charger is/isn't working. It's not uncommon to see a MacBook charge just fine while the charger LED is off, because of a bad connection or something. So yea, if it's on, great, that's a good sign, but if it's off, that doesn't always mean everything is dead.

[@2009numan]

how is it possible for a fuse to partially fail ?. surely a fuse would either work or not work

[@pow9606]

Suppose you could heat up water in a kettle and pour it in to the ultrasonic rather than wait 2 hours for it. Hit the degas and ..... Obviously some temperature monitoring would be required.

[@michaelmeux4137]

A bit off topic but what hot air station do you have? Been thinking of getting one to tinker around and don't have a lot budget wise. Thanks for the video brother

[@Adamant_IT]

I use a Quick 857dw+ which is pretty affordable, and will do everything except very high-end work.

[@michaelmeux4137]

@@Adamant_IT awesome I'll look for one now. thanks for replying and keep up the great work brother.

[@nickiminajwannabe]

I have R8155 missing. Could this stop the MacBook from booting?

[@Adamant_IT]

Yes, that's a pull-up resistor for PP1v5_S0 on the PGOOD circuit. PGOOD is a group of pullups for the secondary power rails feeding into Q8150. Q8150 is a dead man's switch, if one of the pullups going into it is low/missing, then it pulls ALL_SYS_PWRGD low, which prevents the board from starting.

[@nickiminajwannabe]

@@Adamant_IT The board still provides USB Power and charging works fine, just doesn't boot. Could it still be Q8150?

[@edimilsonoliveira9031]

WONDER!!!👏👏👏

[@LND3947]

What brand of "Glass Cleaner" do you use?

[@Adamant_IT]

Just Tesco store-brand

[@ronlevin2339]

I do not like any past 2016-2019 MacBook's, first 2 years are butterfly's keyboard issue, then 2017-2018 have a flashget issue , and 2018-2019 have a big problem with water damage (actually humidity damage) on screen connector that kills that CPU and same problem with SSD controler.

[@daviddesson3134]

Does anyone know of good source for Apple parts.

[@Adamant_IT]

eBay is where I get most of mine

[@j.lietka9406]

Is all that corrosion from liquid damage?

[@Adamant_IT]

Yea. Laptops have "always hot" power rails, where there is always power present, even when the device is off, provided the battery or charger is connected. When liquid shorts these rails to ground, the power electrolyses the liquid, causing the metals to rapidly oxidise and corrode. This corrosion is the _real_ damage in the case of most liquid spills.

[@j.lietka9406]

@@Adamant_IT the longer it stays on the board the worse it gets (or can get)? Thank you 🤓

[@clevermusicbox3630]

2 hours to warm up the untrasonic bath? Use filtered boiled water, so it takes 5 minutes!

[@Rusty_Gold85]

As long as you dont say " Load out " and " Fitted Off"

[@kodessa]

every macbook needs to take a page out of the 1466 and use screw in batteries

[@Perzian7]

Gonna once again ask for you to please upload the full cleaning bits on maybe a different channel, since you said a while back you were planning to do that.

[@naraya8830]

good master

[@ockibg]

Lovely Jubbly 😉

[@OskarBlomkvist]

I see you buy parts from EXIN aswell! 😬

[@Adamant_IT]

Apparently so. They had the best looking price/postage on eBay. Are they crap then?

[@OskarBlomkvist]

@@Adamant_IT no I buy from them too, usually very good prices
