School: Tosses out 15 MacBooks
Hugh Jeffreys: *It's free computers*
Actually I think it was 100 thrown out but hugh only got 15
What’s the one thing snipers can’t tell their wives? I missed you this morning.
I’d be at the school trash in a minute
@@carlosgil3242 They we're throwing out 150
Soo they throw the computers away i think i Should mail my school like immediately.

Yeah I saved my potato laptop by installing Linux

was casually watching this and realised these laptops actually came from my old school. the sheer amount of macs they literally just threw away every year was shocking.
Really
How can y'all treat it so fucking bad
@@engineergaming2032 because they did buy so they don’t care, plus most schools offer cheap insurance so parents buy it.
@@tbyoda9475 usually at Australian schools, a lot of times the laptops actually are kept in school the whole time, with the students being able to use any without being assigned one. This could be different for private schools, but based on the fact that the school was chucking these out, i would say they were 'school property' and probably used by many students over the years :)
@@tbyoda9475 consumers in a bad way
My school literally threw out almost 500 iPads from our city year sponsorship. Some kid beat everyone to the punch and found the dumpster and took home almost all of them. He was steady selling them throughout the next school year.
Wow that school should be shut down
Good on ya kid. Saving them from the landfill. And I bet the extra money is fun too.
How many were unlocked?
I bet they were all activtion locked :/
@@0w3nnEven so, if you were to tear them down and sell for parts, that's still a hefty profit for almost no effort
Private schools: throwing out MacBooks
My school: still using laggy old computers with win 7
True
Windows 7 is ok, when I tried to install windows 7 to our school's old PCs, some of them just straight out died xD. They froze midway through the install, and upon rebooting there would be no video output, and 3 long beeps. (Old Lenovo prebuilts with 1.4GHz single core Athlon CPUs)
I- 💀💀
We have widows vista wdym
Win 7 ultimate is the best windows though
At this point, he can even fix broken recommendations of youtube.
Haha nice comment xD. So true lmao
How you do x and my nigga like that bruh with yo pfp
What’s the one thing snipers can’t tell their wives? I missed you this morning.
hey i need your help i am doing online lessons but i have no computer and i have to do online lessons with my iphone 5 so since u got so many laptops can i u sent me 1 i know that weird but pls.
Argyris9000 mate go find a free laptop on used marketplace he’s not gonna send you one for free 😂
6:40 The extra die on the CPU that's not covered in Thermal paste is the PCH (Sount/North Bridge) it doesn't really need cooling nowadays since they've managed to optimize their power consumptions quite well. If you put thermal paste on then you're actually transferring the Heat from the CPU to the PCH as well since they're on the same HeatPipe.
lets hope the PCH has boss heat transfer
This was one of my favorite perks about working at a scrap yard, I uses to raid the E-Waste bin and fix the computers up with parts from other computers from the bin. One day someone from the school corporation brought in about 20 hp minis i fixed them up and gave a few to the guys i worked with and sold the others cheap because i didnt have anything in them but time.
What places have e-waste bins like stores or malls?
One thing I learned from this video: Go dumpster diving in private schools
I found a whole bag of laptops at my private school
it was a whole garbage bag
At college I got a desk and bookshelf from the dumpster of a nearby private academy.
And apple stores
Scavenging in the dumpster to find MacBooks are the best 😂
"Damaged Trackpad"
Yeah its not like a USB Mouse exists, just throw away a 1000$ computer
that’s fucking true
ikrr
Either incompetent tech guy or the school overcharged for each student thus have buttload of money and don’t care.
Damaged *Macbook* trackpad*
That's like $3828279 for repair
Also cleaning it wasn't a big deal at all. Happens with Touch ID buttons too
Wow Hugh, amazing work. I wish our modern global society did throw away perfectly good items all the time ... the amount of perfectly usable stuff (of all sorts, not just tech) that gets thrown away is mind blowing. Thanks for doing your part to lessen the trash and to encourage others to repair and reuse instead. Two thumbs up!!
These computer repair and restoration videos are very satisfying to watch
I feel like I've seen those macbooks before 👌
Here before hugh hearts the comment
Australia is weird place. Macbooks just laying around with other computers and tech

I have an iMac from 2015 that finally “died” in 2020. Watching videos like this showed me how friggin easy it is to bring things like that back from the dead, so thank you. You helped bring back over 300 gigs of music from CDs that I was not looking forward to re-burning.

I am so elated you and other people are like really experienced on fixing computers! I watch these videos trying to learn repair so I may be able to fix my Windows 7 machine if I ever acquire enough money, until then I guess it stays broke! I get a social security only and it is limited! I am elated you had been able to save them from the landfill! You Have A Blessed Day and Night!
Love these kind of videos and efforts to reduce e-waste and provide working tech to others at little or no cost. Please keep it up!
It's amazing how little attention "re-use" gets in the context of environmental sustainability. It's a far better first-line solution to e-waste than recycling. Plus it's a great feeling when you successfully resurrect a "dead" device :) Even though these are "Old Tech" they're fine for email, browsing the web and most things people need a computer for. Also props for installing Ubuntu on the units that won't run OSX.
Update: the MacBook at 13:40 is actually an early 2015, score!
Hugh Jeffreys ayyyyyyyyyyyy
Are you gonna sell any of the working ones? My laptop just died and I need a new one for school it would be cool if they used to be yours

This reminds me of the time my friends school stole his personal Laptop, claimed it was theirs and refused to give it back. His Parents filed a Police report and the Police forces the school to give the Laptop back. Thankfully they didn't wipe the Laptop so he still had many of his Projects he was working on.
Wonderful video as well as a great way to recycle old devices. Odd how some schools toss out old devices and other use devices that are outdated.

We had a computer room. Which had 15 or so computers for classes around 25-30

Technically not free. The parents paid a lot of money to send the kid to the private school.
You have outstanding skills.
Shame the original school did not think to offer these to a TAFE or college doing IT skills courses, and then they could be used by students, or offered to the many who cannot afford a laptop.
Thank you for showing what is possible, sharing your skills, and being a fine advocate for a more sustainable future.

I went dumpster diving with my friends at my high school. we found:
- a broken monitor
- 4 Laptops (fully working - one is missing the f6 key)
- a PC (not working when connected to display - blank screen)
- a smashed iPhone X
- 11 Bucks worth of disposed coins
We sold some of these and got about $1000! we split it between us and each got $250 each.
one of my friends went dumpster diving again and found more things to sell and ended up being able to buy his own gaming pc!
Damn I should go dumpster diving near a school
Please let us know when you're going dumpster dive again
Huh... America sure is rich.
work for a garbage company. somebody came to dump off a completely working dell PC with monitor keyboard pad mouse and even speakers. i just said dump it right into my car here lol. only got windows 7 but great little box to use to surf the web nothing intense
The sheer fact that they just threw away 4 completely good laptops
For the machines without a backlight it usually is a small fuse that blows. For a couple of bucks and some soldering they can be good as new :)

No warm and dry place to learn? No teacher who may or may not have cared? No library at your school? Of course all this carries other baggage. Always has. The age of Home-Schooling has arrived!
Guys if you have an old laptop or PC just add an SSD and if possible rise the Ram. Install the operating system to the SSD and you will have a very fast computer. You can install both windows and Linux on to the same machine. Linux rocks. Solus Linux, Mint, Ubuntu, Papper Mint are just a few great Linux distros.
Great video you are one of the best channel out there. Keep up the great work.

It's almost like the aesthetic of studying carries more weight than the actual acquiring of knowledge.
And who do you want to blame for that actually? Also is it really whats happening? I don't think there are any reasonable proof that we are getting dumber or something.
Did you come to that conclusion by reviewing the data and studies or is that just ideology speaking?

The thing I remember happened to my public school's MacBooks Airs is my MacBook had a battery that was holding one screw but managed to fix it But Hugh Jeffreys you do a great job! Keep the great work
Backlight has a small smc fuse, if you don't have the tools to change them bridge it with a bit of solder and don't drop water on it again. You can buy the schematics for online for a few dollars. Anytime you got no backlight check that fuse at the start of the backlight circuit 👍 you can resolder your own efi chip without the lock to get around the padlock
2:50 small detail you can notice is the macbook pile on the right slowely sliding over as the video cuts, until you see a few of them split into a smaller pile, probably meaning that they fell over at some point.

Everyone: Talking about the broken MacBooks
Me: Why did the school even get these kids MacBooks
Their parents already pay the school thousands of dollars the least thing the school can do is give the kids the latest piece of technology. They might use them for idk programing?
In my public school you can get one for free if you join the computar science course. Before the school hands them to you, you and your parent must take an oath that you are gonna take the best care of it, and you are not going to modify it's software. There are more rules but i think you got the gist of it

Having grown up in the 80s, it's wild that some schools give out laptops to students. Not even going into how casually they are then replaced.
When I learned something from Louis Rossmann, than that the water indicators can also turn from moisture in the air, and that Apple tends to put the 30V for the screen backlight right next to the data line between the GPU and screen.

The last one can be some moisture corrosion on the SSD traces/pads. Macs can fail in high moisture. Cleaning the board with some alcohol will fix the non detected ssd. I have had that happen 2-3 times.
Nice job with the resources at your disposal! Have you thought of investing in an ultrasonic cleaner. It's a lot easier than isopropyl, a toothbrush and elbow grease, plus will give a more thorough clean. You can pick up a reasonably high quality one with sufficient capacity for a macbook logic board for around AU$300.
School: Tosses out 15 MacBooks
Also School: Let's increase tuition too lol

It really annoys me when kids don’t care about their schools devices when they would never ruin them if they were their own.
I dropped my laptop so many times. So screen damn near broke off and is held by 1 of 2 hinges. When I dropped it in the school bathroom
I agree, but apparently the people who were working in the school didn't really care as well.
I know, but it's especially annoying at my school as everyone shares everything and every second keyboard has at least one key missing and there's one with half the space bar missing. And the iPads are even worse.
Its private school, those student are rich, mac is nothing.
Or some kids just don't care even if it's their own.
Awesome work. Glad to see majority of these laptops getting a new lease of life. With the current shortage of ICs and long deliver lead time for new PCs, I hope more organizations will be less wasteful and be more careful with managing IT equipment.
one the first mac you repaired i thought you said "this mac looks a little bit beaten up, so i will be replacing it with a brand new one 😂

I work in IT for a college and this kind of stuff is more common than you think. We don't throw away any Mac devices instead we sell them to be scraped.
By the way, a blinking ? on a folder is the System Not Found icon, which means your system volume cannot be detected or there is no OS installed. In older versions of Mac OS (modern versions are macOS), it was the ? _and_ Finder icon alternating blinking on a folder (or a floppy disk if the Macintosh was waiting for an OS disk to be inserted).

This reminds me of when I was on a computer maintenance course, we were being trained to fix old BBC Micro computers while outside the window were brand new computers and printers thrown in a skip, there was nothing wrong with them, they were only a year old but replaced by another latest model, the college would not let us touch them or would even donate them to a local needs centre that had their computers stolen
@mister kluge Yes, I did however liberate 30 Hard disks from a tech that were throwing them out, because a tecturer shut down the computer master switch on the wall to get the class attention, this caused a spike that severed the read/write heads wires, a trip to my A1 Cleanroom I was able to micro solder them.
