Thank u for the site! Appreciate the effort! Do any of ur vids or the new site have a beginners section? My experience is with audio cables and jacks and power supplies. Some of ur tools look a bit diff than mine. Smaller soldering iron maybe? Some kind of liquid u put on the board sometimes, etc.
OMG..a friend of mine was just asking on how to migrate all his harddisk and RAM from an old macbook, to a newer shell.. Then i just sat down having a drink, and 'Eureka!!'..you've just posted a video and mention about an online compendium of repairing computer devices.. You are truly a Godsend Mr Louis..
So you repair 11 pro mother board. Whenever you connect to a new phone display, it shows as if the screen was broken but it’s not. Other than that no issues it just doesn’t reflect a clear image on the display hopefully get a reply from you. Antonio
My iPad mini battery life is almost non existent! How much to change out the battery 🔋? It was one of the old cool models with home button and finger print tech.
Not only an advocate for right to repair, but also going the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software - free as in freedom, not a free beer) route. That's really nice to see :)
is interesting that free as in libre is usually the same as free as in gratis, honestly, is easier in spanish, we still use "software libre" since i have memory, and it still implies open source (codigo abierto), because libre is also open, we say "al aire libre" to say an open space outside.
@@alenasenie6928 Note Free Software is not always gratis. Even the GPL doesn't forbid you to sell software. It just says that you must provide a copy (or an offer to get the copy) of the source code under to whoever you distribute the software (which is not necessarily the whole world). But the general case is indeed free = gratis. Also AFAIK, FlexBV itself isn't FLOSS, but based on OpenBoardView, which itself is FLOSS under MIT (which does allow forking and keeping the fork closed), with lots of additions useful to repair businesses. And Paul Daniels does contribute back to OBV for some parts.
90% of the repairs: replace the obviously corroded part 7% of the repairs: there is an issue that is not obvious 2% of the repairs: fuck that franchise that made this unfixable 1% of the repairs: Paul's pile well, that is in the repairs that apple still has not figured out how to make impossible. 90% of the video time: explaining why the fault in that place was causing the specific problem so people are able to identify it without
I'm impressed with the Paul Daniels software. I'm exceedingly impressed with the EEEEEEBlog onscreen measurement display software, which seems semi-infinitely better.
The board repairs are entertaining to watch (I'd never buy a Mac), but I come for the rants!....and to see the "wtf did you do to your computer?!" liquid carnage.
Hi Louis, I have an A1708 for a moment i was charging it via one of the port and decided to to charge it via a usb-c adapter so I could connect the other port to a display then and then the projected screen went blank. I did reset smc and when the display came back on, the battery does not charge say power adapter connected but not charging. Went to the system info then to power there I saw the power input is just 15W. I am in Ghana so please what can you suggest
open it up, troubleshoot, there's over 100 videos here on troubleshooting macbooks that don't charge, and repair.wiki , and docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PkeO_lC5WTPScSV3ZzEEjVuDWeQtL2eHK6jEcf7axA0/edit , I didn't make all of this for nothing! Use it!
Sweet! you are funny & entertaining while fixing boards! I wish you fixed video cards! My Radeon VII died (CODE 43)... It's crazy, paid 700US and now used ones are 1800ea!
hey heard your chat on Destiny's stream. hope to see your youtube stuff pop off, repair stuff is cool but you/your take on things are far more interesting man. cant wait to see what u come up with in the future.
what do I do if I don’t have a soldering or ultrasonic cleaning setup yet? any way I can remove a small amount of corrosion from a liquid damaged A1708?
My MacBook air a1466 2017, Always show low battery when turn on, I already replaced with new battery, but the issues still, i always ned charger to turning it on, But after finish boot, my MacBook work Normal without charger
Man, some time ago you made a video hating linux because you had and obs filter... now using linux and xfce. Now you need to make a xuckintosh (yes you can skin your xfce to look almost exactly as a mac and I love this type of thing in xfce).
If anyone could help I've been racking my brain on a 820-3662 board . I originally got it where it was turning on but with a beep noise like a memory issue, the board had corrosion in multiple locations so I just ultrasonic cleaned it first to see if that would help. it stopped turning on all together after that. I checked all power rails and the first one missing was pp5v_s4. I followed it back and I'm missing pm_slp_s5_l and I'm missing ALL_SYS_PWRGD. I feel like im running around in circles trying to chase this down
1st- Barry White's "Loves Theme" is my fave song by him, it was used on ABC Sports back in the 1970's in their PGA Golf broadcasts...yeah, I'm that old... 2nd- these repair vids are interesting to watch and makes me believe even my dumb ass could do it after watching you (fwiw, i'm pretty good at fixing things, from auto to welding). thanks for making these LR, now how about some more vacant store fronts 🤣🤣 and buying cookies for your SO...
Can someone here please help me? I have a huawei p30 that had a broken screen it took me 7 months to get a screen for it I got the service pack. But I messed up the mother board when I tried changing over the parts. Normally at this point I would just cut my losses and scrap it. But this is not a normal case, the phone holds the last pictures of my mum before she passed away then 6 months later my dad passed away too. It's almost been a year now and I'm not dealing with it yet. Is there anyone that can help me? I'm from and live in Ireland. Thank you for reading.
I'm pretty certain that if Louis ever stops his board repair streaming, he will continue talking as he repairs like he is streaming. Everyone else in the shop giving him concerned looks.
If i ever have too much money for the plane ticket i would bring over some vintage 80s hardware for you to repair. Maybe some broken C64. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Man I just swapped from an in-house engineering businesses board repair to a consumer product board repair and it's INSANE. First of all. I've always had the privilege of never having to go on an expedition for schematics and boardviews. I'd just get the altium files straight away. AND, god, in one week of work I go two essentially unfixable boards that I spent most of my time on because other technicians got to it before me and majorly fucked it up. Actually found "man made" shorts, as in, someone went through the trouble of manually shorting a chip. And another one where some genius managed to kill the board by updating the bios and clearly unplugging it during the process. Both very old PCs that wouldn't justify the manhours to hunt down all the issues. Fucking frustrating. Edit... Forgot, where do people actually find boardviews? I had no luck finding schematics and boardview for an Asus laptop and could find schematics but no boardview for a Lenovo laptop. It's infuriating.
Meta (yes, that way predates Facebook by two decades), Super and Hyper are Unix names for modifier keys that were on workstation keywords back then, and are the names used internally in Xorg, the graphics server used on GNU/Linux. Since Linux can be used on PC but also Macs and other machines, those names are still kept instead of machine-specific names. Also, those can be remapped by user preference, so they don't always refer to the same keys on the keyboard. On PC, usually (but again this can be changed) Meta = Alt, Super = Win. I think the comment was mentioning the rudimentary tiling ability of XFCE, which is also available on other desktops now, like in kwin where I use it quite often, by using Super (so, Win key) and arrow keys, to get windows to fit screen halves and quarters easily. Very handy to watch Louis and still work on stuff 🙂
Yeah - understandable that you dont wanna go on doing the same. Maybe you start some cat-"repairing" videos? You have some nice cats... you could start some experiments :-D
@@TaxEvasionUS Honestly, I don't know. I've started watching Louis' videos, and this video popped up as I was scrolling through UA-cam. I'm guessing, but maybe the video was posted but not marked private, and I somehow I clicked on it beforehand? I'm not trying to be cancer. I was just surprised as someone that hasn't subscribed the channel (yet) I was one of the first to watch the video without a notification.

I never get tired of watching your board repair videos
I'm 76 yrs old and I found this very interesting.
I've watched every board repair video and love every one. Please keep doing them
90% of the repairs: replace the obviously corroded part
7% of the repairs: there is an issue that is not obvious
2% of the repairs: fuck that franchise that made this unfixable
1% of the repairs: Paul's pile
well, that is in the repairs that apple still has not figured out how to make impossible.
90% of the video time: explaining why the fault in that place was causing the specific problem so people are able to identify it without
all these videos are fucking wonderful louis what you do with your influence is incredible keep doing this please thank you
Have you thought about an interactive troubleshooter for boards? Like a step-by-step Q&A for the board that combines all the articles for each board?
Boards are general once you know the concept
Thanks Louis Rossmann. It's valuable.
The "windows" key is called super key in Linux.
*XFCE!!! FTW (+Linux Mint)*
The *Super key* in Linux is usually the *Windows Logo Key.*
THANKS -- Happy New Year!

thank you mr Rossman
Let it be 600.000 repairvideos from you Louis, I'd still watch each new Video 😂👍

I have a hp victus a month ago it got water damage. Is there any way you can fix it for me?
Still somewhat new to your channel, do you mostly use donor boards for parts, or where do you get your replacement components?
Donor boards.
@@rossmanngroup I'LL do one better, where and how do you get donor boards?
hey man i just spilled tea on macbook pro and now it wont turn on what should i do need to fix it today
Is there a video on the machine that cleans the board?
Ahh all is well with the world again when Louis Rossman is doing repairs again...
I was NOT expecting that intro XD
I’m excited…😂
what do I do if I don’t have a soldering or ultrasonic cleaning setup yet? any way I can remove a small amount of corrosion from a liquid damaged A1708?
thanks
My guess is when Louis mentions Paul Daniel's he has an alert that pops up the offending website.
I need to use jb weld epoxy to stick my motherboards m.2 standoff back into place. Is jb weld epoxy still non conductive?

7:28 Sounds like the work of a vehicle mechanic. You should try being a Mechanic, Not just for electric bikes.
I have multiple comments I wanted to make about what he said there.
10:24 "Super Key" is what Linux people call the Windows Key cos they don't want to use the W word.
At least you could have subscribed to the channel that you say how good they are for your wiki
