Don't you just love how the 90% of the people in an Apple Store are only there to play on the computers and iPads

[@stuwustudio]

Anthony Zastoupil 'cuz the're nut enough rich 2 buy 1.

[@iamloganmoon7341]

Anthony Zastoupil yep and when your actually there about your Apple product a freakin lil kid is hovering over everything where you can't do shit. Smh 🤦🏼‍♂️ get on somewhere

[@spiddyman0079]

Why else do they have apple stores then? You get hyped for the product and buy it from Walmart or Amazon.

[@Rabolisk]

If 1 out of 10 people that go there to play with computers and iPads then it's still worth it.

[@luisperez5462]

Tucker Orton thanks on the correction

[@DELTARYZ]

the apple store guy actually told them this not very long before the recording got stopped (after "I'm probably the only guy here who knows this") so they actually did get help with it. somehow.

[@Chris_Ray97]

I'm actually surprised anyone in that store knew about the battery 😂

[@drchucks]

Tucker Orton: I thought it was called a PRAM battery, or is that just another name for it?

[@jasong6460]

I might do this with my iphone 2g the first iPhone

[@ripnoobsgaming5770]

The iPhone one was the first unless u live in the uk

[@ireallydontknow578]

ripnoobsgaming There was never an iPhone one. It started at iPhone 2g. Just because it has 2 in the name doesn't mean it's the 2nd iPhone ever made.

[@jasong6460]

It was just called iPhone but most people call it iPhone 2g

[@rockybalboa1086]

That's an easy problem to fix! just open up the computer and replace the CMOS cell! It's a small flat button cell, about an inch in diameter

[@Pendleton115]

Rocky Balboa Actually as a vintage user myself anything older than the Intel Era (2006 to present) Doesn't use the typical flat button cell CMOS. It uses a more traditional AAA shaped battery that are actually pretty dificult to find.

[@kbhasi]

Pendleton 115 It's actually a "523" size battery which has been out of production for many years. YT user "bbishoppcm" did do a video called "battery information for compact Mac owners", at least I think that's what's it's called.

[@adonian]

Kevin Bhasi if the 523 is a 4.5v tubular battery about 5cm in height then Amazon has them. I could be wrong but just trying to help out.

[@jimjimx5418]

On the first 3 Macintosh computers, there was a battery compartment on the back side, easy to get to and replace. www.batterybob.com/products/3975-exell-a21px/

[@christopherbartleson8918]

Actually, I have a very similar model, this computer would have the PRAM battery soldered to the logic board. This can be replaced with a battery holder and install at 3.7v 1/2AA battery.

*carries 20 pound computer 500 feet* "oh my back is going to be sore tomorrow"

[@PseudoResonance]

Paradoxical Nightmare Pounds and weight are basically the measure of the force of gravity pulling an object down. Mass is the measure of how much matter an object is made of. Mass is constant, while weight, and the 20 pound computer, will fluctuate based on the force of gravity. If you take it up to orbit, the mass is still the same, but it will weigh nothing.

[@RWL2012]

a dead PRAM (CMOS in PCs) battery is a pretty simple thing really

[@oscart698]

In my point of view they are very nice people, in my local Apple store they are dicks and think they know it all when in reality they never helped me personally with my issues. I had to actually fix it my self with the help of KZbin

[@yy17782]

Same with mine

[@therobster6069]

I considered doing something similar: Bringing my compaq from 1995 to the microsoft store to see if they can fix it because it wont power on.

[@kbhasi]

That, or a HP service centre. Yeah, sounds interesting even though I wouldn't dare to do it myself. Of course, I would know what the issue is myself.

[@therobster6069]

1. I don't think there's one near me 2. I don't really like hp nowadays.

harampug in 20 years 2,000 dollars will be cheap because of inflation you dumbass

[@Bradlalb123]

Anthony Zastoupil currency won't inflate by 230% in twenty years DUMBASS and also it's still expensive for a 800 dollar phone and that's what he's getting at puto

[@Bradlalb123]

Bicc OG if it's not expensive at all to drop 800 on a phone, then explain why cellular carriers offer monthly payment options. Houses and cars are the same so I'll take it 30,000 and anothe 400,000 isn't a lot and we're just broke? Gg

[@antonioshaw9991]

harampug well, due to inflation, that probably might be the *actual* price of iPhones in a few years.

How is this a prank? You can take any Apple device to any Apple Store, regardless of age, for repairs or advice. More importantly, how the hell did this crap get in my recommended list?!?!?

[@davidcarbines1891]

I've done this with my 1986 Capri to my local Ford dealer. They couldn't help due to not making parts anymore but the difference is mine was a genuine enquiry as it's my everyday car rather than a prank like this guy.

[@SapphireOConnell]

That guy is the nicest employee ever!

[@MisterMotel]

ugh what a horrible store, such fake people those 'geniuses' They dont even know anything about computers. it's just a battery issue that literally is in every single pc or mac just to run the clock.

[@Artyomthewalrus]

Dude, one of the employees knew exactly what the problem was......

[@imhumerous]

Mister Motel he even told the kid it was a battery problem

[@masterjedisam1578]

I heard something about the battery a few times. It was said at least twice, maybe 3x that it was the battery. If a computer is vintage many Apple stores will recommend going to an authorized service center who will help you get parts & services. I think that's what the tech guy said (I refuse to call them geniuses).

[@TranceFur]

If you had done more than see the title of the video, you'd know that someone pretty much immediately diagnosed the issue.

[@Zanybandz123]

It took 3 of those people to fix a question my brother had with Imovie which he could have figured out him self xD

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

This is so great, i should do this with my Apple IIs. Do you actually need help with it? lol Just replace the battery in it if it didn't already explode. You'll need some soldering skills though and a long torque screw to open the thing up. Make sure to also unplug all the drives, powersupply and monitor from the pcb though before sliding it out. Tutorials on how to do this are on youtube. lol

[@BanditBen]

look at the guys face when he looks away at 2:17 😂😂

[@0squidslushi080]

I bet somebody just screamed "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BRING YOUR COMPUTER MONITOR IN"

Why are the Apple employees even praising him? He obviously look too young to have owned and experienced a Macintosh back when it was released. They should've known it was a prank.
