Yay, Louis is finally on Linux.
Ikr !!!
@@lesserspottedmugwump.363 u from arizona ?
I employ 19 people fixing Apple products and look at these salesmanship I use to encourage people to buy more of them!
customer : hello
Louis : buy a thinkpad, er i mean good day
NAH Louis is back on windows next week
If louis was a Doctor:
Patient: i cant pee
Louis: looks like PPBus isnt working
"Why does my microscope smell like Florida?" can just heat a faint hehe in the background a few Secs later 🤣
Always when I get a repair that seems unfixable to me I always watch Louis’s videos first and every time I feel like an idiot afterwards for not figuring it out myself. Thanks for all the help Louis!
That comment about jack audio is accurate 😂😂😂
Jebus fuken crist it's a nightmare.
I went through process of trying to get jack working.
1 week. over 30 hours of pure work. Still using pulseaudio with alsa.
I develop device drivers for linux kernel, and even I am scared of messing with jack!
It's horrible.
I kinda want to see what the fuss is about now. I don't do a lot of typical consumer stuff so I haven't run into that at all. I'm curious if it is as annoying as, say, realizing the arch repository for cuda released before the Nvidia driver that is needed to use it, and all your CUDA apps break. Had some fun with that last night
Apple: not powering, you need to buy a new MacBook.
Customer: but it’s just the battery.
Apple: yeah, f that, buy our new MacBook.
I remember back in the day of owning a 17” PowerBook , apple stated they couldn’t fix it so offer to replace it for 17” MacBook Pro 2006 2.16ghz. That computer broke under 6 months
@@macgamer1973 replaced for free? That would be great but the hassle on getting the data you've stored and the configurations you've made and you have to do everything all over again is a pain for a hefty sum of money for a laptop.
Lol you’ve never purchased a Mac
@@DrCrabnutsnope, just had iPods, s6 and iPad mini, 3 & 5, those lasted long, and I mean long but my friends Macbooks not so much and harder to repair and upgrade compared to the laptops I had. Why is the data transfer better?
@@lesserspottedmugwump.363 I agree, I feel like people just hate on Apple since it’s the big company. Even though I hate their anti repair practices, but then again phones like Samsung are much harder to repair.
Customer service in Apple is amazing (in the UK at least), meanwhile customer service in Samsung seems not to even exist
I still love these types of videos Louis. Please kindly continue making informative videos like these.
Great video Louis..glad to see another board repair...been too long without one !!
Your microscope smelling like Florida is key to your plans to leave NYC
I saw you in a post on 9gag. Thank you for your great work! You are awesome, have my subscription. Greetings from Germany
Apple engineers socially distance their brains from their heads

When I saw the video thumbnail, I thought that was the new macbook desktop background, not the board.
So innovative...
I have the same issue. Replaced the battery and the charger is blinking green and the computer does not turn on. most likely would be that chip but I do not have the chip nor the infrastructure to replace it, so I guess I will be a new customer. Thanks for the video
Ahhh. switching transistor. Nice work Louis. Problem quickly slain. Git 'er dun!
Each time I think it looks easy and I'd like to try, you zoom out and I realize how small the items are your working on. I've rebuilt just about every part on a car and truck. I don't think I'd have the patient's.
It's Daniel Rakowiecki his videos are really cool, funny and you can learn a lot. Just like yours
LOL, Louis bailed out on "Rakowiecki"? I wonder how he would react to Żabiński, not to mention Brzęczyszczykiewicz
@LuisRossmann - Could it Also be the Charger Not being Regulated as the System is internally - sending a Over Charge that Bricks the capacitor ?
Keep an eye out for PipeWire. It's basically a replacement for PulseAudio and Jack.
It's still beta-ish but it can/will work with everything that works with Jack (but easier) and Pulseaudio (but better).
Plus it will handle video (webcams, cameras, and screen sharing), and eventually planned be able to run effects and stuff on the video.
It already can handle all of Jack's VST and plugins stuff for audio, I've used it.
It pleasantly surprised me at how good it is for basically beta software. But it's totally daily usable for me, with a few glitches and crashes that I can tolerate.
Daniel Ra-co-vie-tzky is how you spell it! He specializes in laptops, only occasionally fixing MacBooks.
Wow 6 seconds, thats a record!
Ppbus
Lmfao...🤔🤔🤣🤣
That's what my gf said last night too.
I have a kind of similar issue with a A1465 EMC 2631 won't turn on with battery, will turn on and charge battery. battery says it is full. i am going try to see if i can figure it out.
Hello @Louis Rossmann could you help me please I exactly have the problem, can I make a jumper on Q7155 from source to drain momentarily ? just to turn on the laptop and check if the laptop reconizes the battery on screen then take it off and replace Q7155? Many thanks
Can we get a board review with Paul Daniels (kinda like meme review?) Just some ridiculous shit we can all laugh at!
oh?
When complaining about Linux, you need to bear in mind that it comes in different flavors (distros) and different GUI rendering engines. I don't know if this an issue with GUI, but it is something to look at. Testing the behavior on different distros may help rule out the cause of this software acting like it is having seizures. I am a big fan, keep up good work. I have learned a lot from your vids. Cheers.
Are you trying to use JACK on the same sound card as PulseAudio? They won't share a sound card and you'll either need to disable PulseAudio or configure JACK to use a different sound card to get it to work.
Great I see this video u can help me today I fix respect for u.
question, i got a hand me down a1466 airbook that will not power up with the charger plugged in. is that a power connection issue? or is it a battery issue? the mag safe won't light up when plugged in but it WILL power up and show a battery with a tiny bit red when you press the power button on
Hi, Can some one help !!! The transistor voltage through batter connector goes up and down and battery is not showing up & no standby on battery. What could be the problem
If the voltage that goes to that transistor(7137) is lower than 8.5 (which is 8.12 in my case) the battery won't be recognized or charge, right?
Would it be possible to make a video about repairing a broken chin plate? (MacBook Pro 2018)
Hey, could someone help me find component for a macbook air? it only says E8JQ with like a C and a + inside the "C"
magsafe would turn on green light for few seconds then turns off ( orange light sometimes comes on) , fan spinning. Measuring 8.54V between GND and PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_R & 6.56V between GND and PPVBAT_G3H_CONN which should be 8.6V as per the schematic. computer works fine using a fully charged new battery. Any fix you suggest please ?
Wait, can't you use pulseeffects to achieve some basic live audio editing with pulseaudio?
Great video as always 😁
One option is to have a dual or more boot system. In my case I have windows on it's own nvme drive and linux mint on it's own nvme drive and arch linux on yet another drive (ssd). I boot first to the arch linux grub (boot loader) menu from which I can choose one of three OS's. Windows for programs and games suited to it, arch linux to learn more of linux and linux mint as a home base free from proprietary complicated and unseen manipulations by the OS. I installed windows first, when only one drive was physically attached to the computer, then I added the others for installing linux's.
Oh you might be sure that Daniel Rakowiecki (pronounce as Rakovietsky) does his job :D. And sure he's getting inspired by your work, but he also inspires us showing in detail why and how he's doing something.
You already know this.. but thank you. You are awesome.
Hey, can you recommend a repair place in London UK? Or where to look to how to find one? Thanks
Try out the live version of Ubuntu studio -it has JACK audio preinstalled along with OBS and other multimedia enhancements. I don't stream but JACK worked right out of the box for me... Couldn't be happier about it.

I got a destroyed a1502 MacBook Pro from a recycling center. The screen is broken and it looks like someone snapped the screen back because the hinges are destroyed. I used a charger and a external monitor and it works, it’s just still registered to someone’s Apple ID. Dose anyone know if I can sell it as a whole for parts for would it be a better option to take out the motherboard and just sell that? I thought if I take out the ssd the board it would no longer be attached to the account. Those motherboards are going for over $150 and I would love to get that money. Can anyone give me some advice?
Love your videos
I’ve always had trouble getting audio to work on Linux. Used it for only 25 years or so. On and off. Just now only on my dedicated machine running little but Folding@Home.
What can I do if PPBUS_G3H is at 3V? All the voltages of G3 to S3 are fine
My guess is some sort of charging regulator. Like the pathway to charge is stuck open on the motherboard side, and won't switch over to charge the battery.
Can i ask what heat gun your using?
Is 8 volts enough to charge a macbook air battery?
Jack Audio works I am using it now.
Lies
What distro are you running now?
Do you run linux natively or in a virtual machine?
Pipewire is coming. Say byebye to Jack!
Interesting, I'd love to switch to linux but I feel converting my Voicemeeter setup to jack + whatever else I need to get it working would be a pain. I did some research but didn't hear about Pipewire. I'll do some more research I guess.
Edit: after minimal research it seems like a project unifying the many audio backends into one, making it easier to configure (plus low latency, real time processing...etc)
I'll probably go that route when switching if it's stable enough
It‘s there yea. We'll see how it goes heh. Easy to beat pulse/jack tho
Seems to not support Windows,
and i use Jack to pipe Audio from a (arch) linux box to a Windows PC.
@@oberonoberon9288 through kvm? Or separate PC's entirely?

Louis pls guide my A1466 runs only on Battery else green to orange always SMC reset not working #India
Ah man my school figured out how to turn on the fans on the imacs on max power. Good times
I use Dante stuff for my audio work. Dante via lets you patch things together. Although not on Linux I expect. It's pretty high end stuff.
louis you should try pulse audio give it a try ..its awesome for linux
Whats the name of this chip?
What's the liquid at 8:50?
yes have to aggree with JackAudio dang mare
Hey Louis, cheapest mechanical keyboards are probably James Donkey keyboards. Sounds so annoying with crappy outemu switches.

Paul Daniels needs to renegotiate his compensation package. Paul, you need to demand a hefty increase in pay and a Louis Rossman Group company credit card. You know, for when you need to purchase equipment or parts. And to use it for refreshments or lunch at your favorite Gentleman's Club.
Jack audio is a pain.
It is interesting to me that you seldom present any issues that are not in some way related to power rail problems, either on the main board or one of the peripherals. I assume this is because that is the only thing that ever goes wrong?
I actually love JACK audio, but I totally get where you're coming from lmao.
Bruhhhh. I really did spend EXACTLY 3 days figuring out JACK audio. I could explain it in prolly 10 minutes though lol.
Thank genius
I moved to Manjaro and/or Arch linux distros, those have spared me lot's and lot's of headaches in the past months.
Clean wiki's and documentation, less randomness... Due to the clean wiki's you don't need some strangers advice on random forums...
I used to use Debian, and before that Ubuntu, but I have the feeling those distro's have been going downhill for the past 5 to 6 years.
Their wiki's are often not updated, lot's of randomness and forum 'copy - paste' nonsens...
Just the difference in package manager, Pacman actually does what it's supposed to do while apt just makes a mess of your system.
I changed distro after my debian with cinnamon desktop wouldn't boot after updates, apparently apt-get update & apt-get upgrade changed the python version on the system causing cinnamon and nvidia drivers to do random stuff and crash. If I wanted a system that crashes after updates I could just use Windows instead!
Does the A1466 need a new logic board or display when the backlight is pitch black but you can still kinda see it?
Neither yet. Find out why the backlight isn't working. Louis has many backlight videos in playlist. Check them out.

Been using Linux for years now as a daily driver. Windows 10 has so many downsides mainly from a privacy point of view. It even bypasses your VPN and firewall to phone home. 🤷 Or then there are updates and breaks something that wasn't broken. 😁

I do love your reaction to the random branded battery, im all for right to repair but a generic battery still needs to be met with suspicion.
Jack isn't that bad. I mean it's bad, but when it's working it beats anything else I've ever used.
I don’t know what’s going on. I just like to look at logic boards

What is so hard about using JACK audio? If you use a gui controller like qjackctl or carla, it is fairly easy. Also, you can use Airwave to make windows VSTs work in linux. Or you can just use LV2 plugins instead. Airwave is here: github.com/psycha0s/airwave/releases
yes openboardview DOES work on windows 10, in case you cannot afford the huge amount of money for flexBV..

Bad connection so only very low current reaches the battery? Louis has also just mad a website that is basically an apple repair wiki you can try and look there
