Dude you shouldn't have mentioned it's one screw to remove the SSD, they're going to start soldering them to the board now.
thereign even if they do soldering it off and on isn’t that difficult
@@GTXgb-gt8lz yea but you need to go to someone with the tools necessary to replace/upgrade the ssd. Plus more persuading unknowing customers into expensive af repairs!
I might be wrong but I think I read the newer macs have soldered storage.
didnt check the age of this video, but that is what apple does. If it can be plugged in and screwed down, they solder it directly instead
@@ilovefunnyamv2nd The video was published July 2018. I looked it up and see that 2016 models have soldered storage. I bet that wouldn't stop Louis though lol.
Basically, you have to screw the screw, and not the customer.
Wise words.
Apple doesn't understand how to do that
Nah. Think different.
Terry Wilson Apple has been doing it for quite a while with no consequences. Guess the fans were not working when it hit them...
not working? probably iFans
Me: watching an Apple product video repair without owning a single one of their device.
Same here, but I feel reassured in my decisions after finding this channel.
Don't even try it. I've had 2 iPhones and 1 Macbook. Never again. Just an absurdly overpriced Instagram devices that can't really do anything.
@@kevlon_ Yup - I have never owned an Apple product. I just watch these and remain baffled that anyone on this earth other than morons still buy Apple products today (especially folks who have been burned before)
And being glad about t.
@VolDep45 glad to say I live in an apple free home and will be making sure it stays that way as the children grow up.
Apple calling their staff "Geniuses" should be tried for false advertising.
Is it just me or is calling them geniuses kinda up their own arse
Not if they get the customer to buy an apple product, then they are Geniuses.
I think you have misunderstood.
It's called "Genius bar".
That means geniuses are barred from working there.
Idiot bar
I've never heard anyone use the term "genius" in a non-sarcastic way.
Best Buy: your computer has the plague
Apple: your computer has cancer
Rossman: your computer has a stomach ache
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Rossman: just blow your nose mate. You'll be fine
Best Buy and Apple are for people who don't understand tech or value.
Its like having a cold and going to google to self diagnose yourself 20 different types of cancer and pneumonia
me: buy PC
What Louis Rossman doesn't show you is that half his employees are bomb disposal experts which disarm the lithium batteries in the macbooks he works on before he cracks them open on camera.

Apple: sorry you have to buy a new computer.
At some point they will just make the batteries unrechargeable.
And a new dog
@@priyanshugoel3030 Or a credit card reader on the side or else you won"t physically be able to push the power button all the way down. 🙃
@@PaulyM856 yeah but people would then mod the laptop to bypass that
pretty sure that whole „you lose your data“ thing is just because they replace the entire machine which includes the ssd... i bet they dont even check whats wrong. even if there is just one connector or screw loose, you simply get a new laptop
Yeah and take your “damaged” laptop and recycle it into the “brand new latest and greatest” 😱
Meanwhile, I'm sure the hipsters who use Apple will claim to be eco-friendly, drive a Prius and tout they care about the environment will completely overlook the consumer waste this creates, and carbon emissions moving unnecessary parts around the country.
@@MathTutorVideos
Assumptions are bad
Replace the machine at full price. Refurbish old machine and sell nearly full price.
Apple wins both ways.
It all goes to China or Taiwan usually to become "refurbished" products.
Rossmann : "Its ONE Screw !!"
Apple : * Launches Macbook with SSD integrated to the board *
EMMC is fun to work with
Xbox did that with the Xbox One S.... Problem is that actually made the Xbox faster 😂
Apple screws everyone.
@@JohnThornley Well, they can't screw anyone without screws. Am I right or am I right? ;)
@@miso-ge1gz It wasn't game saves that were faster, overall processing speed was faster, downloading 1 TB on the original xbox one took 3 days at least. With the same wifi, on my One S it downloaded 1 TB in about 12 hours. Also certain games were more prone to crashes on normal consoles
“FITTER HAPPIER MORE PRODUCTIVE” REGULAR EXERCISE AT THE GYM NOT THINKING TOO MUCH
He performs magic while at the same time reprogramming my mind to enjoy the gym! Genius. Restores my hope in mankind.
@@toddparks it's a Radiohead reference to fitter happier
Radiohead lol
My new mantra
Thank you, it was bugging me where I new that phrase from! I thought it could have been from THX1138
I worked in Geek Squad during their decline. I was one of the last agents to receive Apple's training which allowed me to work on their machines. Bottom line is the in store agents are not authorized to fix things anymore. I'm not saying the Apple training is the only way to learn to fix things, but it did help me. If you have the warranty, they'll send it to a repair center. If an agent offers to fix it in store, he is going rougue. If anything goes wrong, he'll get in trouble and the store will generally leave you high and dry.
that's insane wtf
not entirely correct, i currently work in geek squad and we repair iphones almost everyday
@@Waiives Now. For the longest time it was exchange
I've been doing electronic boards repairs since I was 13 and if anyone, ever would have told me some of the tips that I've learned in just a week watching his videos I would be 10 times better by now. This man has earned his place in heaven.
Best Buy: your computer can't be saved or it'll explode sorry
Apple: your computer needs repairing and that'll cost $12,000 please
Rossmann: your computer needs some regular exercise at the gym
dude, wtf 😂😂😂😂😂
"regular exercise at the gym" you know it's a computer, right? They don't use the gym.
EXCUSE ME! You forgot the part where they can NEVER save your data even tho the issue has nothing to do with the hard drive/SSD
@@hughjaanus6680 r/wooosh
@@hughjaanus6680 it's from 'OK Computer" by Radiohead, one of the best albums of the last 30 years
soon the SSD will be soldered directly to hte board with a self destruct wire so their process will be accurate
lRaziel1 exactly my thought🙄
I take it this is sarcasm? Given the fact they already do that?
Think differently
Soon noone would be dumb enough to buy a apple product
Apple always be digging up old tech like wireless charging, my electric shaver had wireless charging in the early 90s lol. Wouldn't surprise me if they examined an old Capcom arcade cabinet and introduce a suicide battery.
12:15 - "Fitter, happier, more productive. Regular exercise at the gym..."
10 hours rem-cycle version coming soon.
Fitter, happier, more productive sounds like the motto in apple's sweatshops in China and Taiwan.
I did love the Radiohead reference though.
I know nothing about computers but watching Louis work on them makes me happy, fitter, more productive,
The reason that you can take out the SSD without deleating the data on it: its made by Samsung and not by Apple
Wdym? If anything, it's Apple that will drill the SSD into the motherboard on the final product.
@@zeitgeist1762 That's what he meant 🤦♀
@@kseriousr I read this as "The reason you CAN'T"
My bad lol
i imagine they could put some circuit in there to erase the ssd when you unscreew it
@@tiagodarkpeasant It would require a power source nearby. And if you disconnect the Battery, then any other batteries used for Clocks, it would be fine.
I don't even own a macbook and here I am watching this legendary work
He's really amazing
Screw Apple
just to shill on apple fans
@Tournel Henryi spent 300 rmb(40 bucks) to change out the battery and the charging port on my iphne 6s while traveling in china
same here.
Iv never owned an apple product shy of an ipod nano back in 2013. Fuck apple
Apple : "How dare you show tech-muggles what's underneath the hood."
Customer: "Hello, I just fell on the stairs and my knee hurts."
Apple Genius: "Looks like is the logic board.....we will need to replace it. It's $500"
"Fitter. Happier. MORE productive." 100%
Comfortable. Not drinking too much.

Nice Radiohead reference!
Regular exercise at the gym...
"Let's make this a happy little motherboard" - The Bob Ross of Repairs.
I thought the EXACT same thing, lol!
I though exactly the same thing
"Let's add a little solder that lives right here"
When he cleans the the scraper with rust, he would beat the devil out of it. xD
Pretty little solder joints!!
Sadly I feel a bit old; millennials will never know who was Bob Ross...
2:52 I like how Louis is holding the mac as if it was a claymore
This stuff is incredible. I used to buy into the idea that electronic boards couldn't really be repaired easily (relatively speaking). Although you did use special tools, I don't feel like it's anything crazy that a skilled technician with training couldn't handle. Right to Repair!
Apple would never hire you because you are too honest.
iCarly did a very amusing parody that had been lost on me when it aired. Sam Puckett, the delinquent, stole Freddie Benson’s job, because he was too honest and couldn’t sell anything. Ironically Sam never showed up again after that.
I actually quite liked that, rather than calling it the Genius Bar, they called it a Brilliance Bar. Much better name.
That and all the other reasons. Apple are not exactly fond of Louis.
they wouldnt hire him because he actually knows what hes doing
you are the apple worst night mares
this a great comment
You’re wrong actually androidfan are apple nightmares
A someone who used to work for Geek Squad for many years I can tell you that Geek Squad does not repair Apple computers this is not because we don't want do this is because Apple changed something on their end in stated if anybody fix them fixes them they will be sued so Apple not allow That being said people buy overpriced Mac books in think the repairs are going to be cheap? At this point in time it's well known that they don't actually repair anything they just replace the whole part that they think the problem lies Yet people still buy the overpriced junk
The fact that Apple has stated and tried to Sue people stating if anybody besides a certified Apple technician takes out a piece and replaces these same peas with the exact same park and model number from Apple magically transforms the Mac into a busy this should kill any consumer all they need to know about how Apple runs their business and how they really don't care about customer satisfaction they're trying to squeeze every iota of money out of their green washed followers
That and Apple has are you be the worst liquid protection any manufacture in my opinion lenovo has the best I've literally seen laptops have water intentionally dumped on the keyboard while it's turned on in no issues
I literally threw an ssd into my pc while it was running and it worked, that's how easy it is
This video is far more satisfying than a "most satisfying videos" video.
This isn't actually a normal video it was auto generated by youtubes post edit system. Louis and his coworker died in a terrible explosion after they attempted to open the mac book.
Prophet OfOld fools didnt they read the warnings
I see. I see
So I opened a customer's Macbook Air, and after recovering from lithium burns from the exploding battery, I removed the SSD, followed by the screw. I then put solder on top of a chip and put it back together. And guess what. It's still broken and I'm now seriously in debt from being treated for lithium burns at the ER. I'm a genius, I knew this wouldn't work, but I did it anyway just to prove you wrong.
Think Different
Don't feel so bad. You showed a good display of "courage."
It possible to get burns if u know.. your stupid or clueless and end up puncturing a full charged battery. But other then that this battery’s don’t cause issues unless u start doing serious modification to the power controllers without knowing what your doing. (Which I wouldn’t advise again unless u know what your doing but just opening the computer won’t cause u harm)
@Neil Arkins Think he took it to the next step with the burns at "Feel Different". next step is limb "adjustment" together with the slogan "Become Different"

Discovered this channel yesterday and have been watching your videos nonstop in the last 24hrs. I work on cars professionally and you've peaked my interest into considering this field. Always loved computer building and repairs like these in general. So satisfying to watch. Keep up the great work and hope all is well in these pressing times.
Real technicians speak nonsense while doing a repair. Rossmann is a real one
His nonsense is a radiohead reference
Radiohead video for reference: ua-cam.com/video/medHT5Bpnt8/v-deo.html

Firstly, I would like to thank you for opening my eyes to 2 companies which I have had the displeasure of dealing with but just decided to put the bad experience behind me, move on and not give them a second thought. Now that I know the truth, I will expose them in any relevant conversation I have. Secondly, I greatly appreciate all your efforts in the right to repair movement. I like your sense of humor, logic, and consideration of others. Have a super day! :)
Wow, I didn't think there were techs like you anymore in this world. Most technicians that I know would have just changed the boards. Good work! Need more techs like you in the world!
This kind of thing makes me upset. My friend came to me with their 2011 Macbook Pro with flashing folder on boot. She took it to the Genius who said they can't repair it and they need to buy a new Macbook (which she did before she came to me) 20 minutes of troubleshoot found the $18 SATA cable was faulty, replaced it and boom! Working again.
After all that, the Lithium battery blew up in my face and now i'm scarred for life.
Can we all agree to STOP calling it "GENIUS" bar, and just use the TRUTH: IdiotBar.
That idiotic advice is what made apple at least $1500.... It's how a scammer works!

I've been soldering since I was 6, and I'm now 62. But. That is some Master Level soldering skill right there... it's a pleasure to watch a *Master* *Craftsman* at work. Nice video!
Bob Powers I agree...I was a NAVY AIMD repair tech decades ago... Did component level repairs on the lru’s as well as their test devices. Was a fun, & at times challenging job. Common sense, good think thru logic, and NASA level soldering skills was mandatory. I see those in Louis.

8:35 Nice Radiohead reference there, also, this is amazing I've never seen anyone tackle fixing an apple motherboard independently, I guess anyone could learn how to if they knew where to start. Really cool to watch
11:58 words can’t explain how great this was
Hello Louis, A few days ago I ordered a Capacitor for a 2010 15'' Macbook. I replaced C9560 because the machine would somewhat randomy kernel panik. And it worked. Your videos not only entertain me, but also saved the MacBook of a DJ. Thank you!
I am glad to hear you performed the repair successfully. Good job on not toasting the CPU, and congratulations on getting something up and running again! It feels good to do it with your own hands, doesn't it?
*panic
It's a pc now
I SWEAR TO GOD YOU JINXED MY LAPTOP. You'l never guess what happened as soon as I reread your comment after seeing Fahad Zafar's spelling correction. The screen froze, Louis began repeating the words "ay have random shutdowns" on loop and the caps lock LED began blinking, for about 10 seconds. A stack trace appeared, and a few seconds later I saw the familiar Lenovo logo. I'm laughing way too hard right now for it being half past midnight. Actually I'm laughing harder then I have in a long time. Whatever have I done, I don't know, but karma was certainly activated at that moment.
Congrats on the fix, but that is one hell of a coincidence all three things aligned.

"This "repair" will cost you $800, actual fix DLC not included"
You know generally speaking I had absolutely no interest in computer hardware or maintenance before I stubled across your channel.
But you are an excellent story teller and narrator, and I have actually been researching more into hardware.
Considering attempting to build my own PC for the first time soon and know vastly more than I did!
Wouldn't trust myself to solder or replace individual chips and such but who knows, maybe I could eventually.
you will, and believe me, is addictive
Get someone who knows how to build one to help you for your first time.
Nah you’re good brah. You can do it yourself, building a computer nowadays requires little to no computer knowledge at all. You just have to know the ten or so components that make up pcs these days and buy them and assemble
if you want to start building all you need is like 500-1k bucks to do it, maybe like 200 if you just want to build a barebones af computer. if you want to get super into it even more the comptia a+ certification is pretty great.

I once attempted to apply to Best Buy to do computer repair. I was rejected. Best rejection I've ever received.
MalleusSemperVictor They reject you if your I.Q. is too high i.e. 85 or above.
they where scared to hire someone that knows how to fix a computer
@Michael Richter Oh, you're too kind.
A while ago my Dell laptop was experiencing the blue screen of death when inserting my SD card. I did everything possible update drivers, trying Linux to read SD card, updating the bios. Since I tried everything possible I took it to Best Buy and used my protection plan to get it fixed. They insisted that it was a virus even though I was running Linux and told my they will charge $100 on top of the $300 geek squad plan I paid when I bought the laptop. I insisted that it was a hardware problem and made multiple trips to the store trying to convince them to repair my laptop. At they end the agreed to send it to their repair center and if the computer was ok they would charge my $40 for shipping (wasting their time). When I got it back they replaced the motherboard ($400 part covered by insurance) and the computer ran normal. Geek Squad takes advantage of people. Back then I was around 13 years old and they thought they knew more than me. I learned my lesson when Circuit City’s Fire Dogs took advantage by selling us $300 for antivirus and spyware installation.
Same here. Did they take two months to send the rejection letter to you as well?
Louis: You do this and this
Apple: *QUICK WRITE THAT DOWN*
This was legitimately the funniest comment I’ve ever seen. I showed 4 friends this upon seeing it and I even took the time to watch the video with them individually. Before showing them the comment. I’ve never done that before so take this as a compliment. Oh, and this is criminally underrated.

Sen Lin great comment
👌
THE APPLE GENIEUSES ARE LISTENING 😂😂😂😂
I thoroughly enjoyed this Louis! Never had to restore corroded pads before, so was cool to see this.
Louis, I really appreciate your honest upfront approach to repairs & your helpfulness to so many. You obviously understand that there is enough business out there to honest with your customers & not have to upcharge & mislead them at every opportunity. With the quoted Apple labor rates I have to wonder how much is their hourly labor rate. At any event, I wish you much success.
Wow! Spent 17 minutes with no control over my lower jaw. Had no idea repairs like that were even possible. Too late in my life to learn those talents. Perfectly content to be a new audience member. Fascinating work.
Thank you!
Same here. Another new subscriber.
That type of soldering isnt that difficult you could learn it pretty quickly if you tried.
As someone who worked on smartphone repair it's true that this can be mastered with time, but it's still not as easy as this gentleman makes it look. Also it's a matter of having good equipment which isint cheap depending on what part of the world you want are in.
Computer surgeon of the highest order!
After watching your uploads, I will never own an apple product again. I won't even eat them anymore
But the doctors will come for you
I stopped buying apple from the 2nd gen iPad. They are junk.
Apple was orignially the record company but this Apple (mackintosh ) jacked the name then they made a deal apple makes computers apple(core is the music business) then Apple computer made a music streaming site and jacked Apple core business So Apple computer is just a jacking company like any pirate.
You are still Hilarious. Even from the afterlife :)

This was so satisfying to watch. I dont really know anything about these kinds of things , Im finding it informative
So happy I found your channel. Extremely worthwhile content. And yes, I did learn something!

LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dropped by PC, broke its 4k screen. Best buy wanted $600, replacement part was $40 on amazon and took me 20 mins to replace myself.
James Andonian get real...
@@saturn0660 i have a lenovo t440s with i7 cpu, 250gb ssd, 4k monitor.. Was a lot when I bought it 4 years ago! Discontinued now I believe. The new screen I got is nice and shiny, way nice than the OEM one which had a slight matte finish. Was even looking at dropping another grand to buy a new pc too!!! Glad I fixed it
@@saturn0660 you do realise that parts in themselves aren't always that costly right?
@@tok33n14 There's no way you can get a _fully working_ *4K* screen for 40$. It's like saying I bought a new i9 9900K for 100$. Not gonna happen.
EDIT: Cheapest 4K ThinkPad screen I found on eBay was for a T580 at 90$ which is still astonishingly cheap, but frankly at that price I wouldn't even trust it to ship in one piece.
Well 1080p screens at least cost $20-30 on Amazon. Replaced one on a Dell 15 before and had no issues, also found it looking better than OEM screen. And yeah didn't even need a tool and took 10 minutes including research. Also the 4k Lenovo screen replacement is $70 on Amazon, who knows the price fluctuations ;). Don't trust all ya want@@alessandroceloria
I love all that you do... I know this is an older video but you are exactly what we need in this corrupt, lying, money driven world. Someone who is honest and tells it like it is.
Appreciate your fine work Louis!!!
As someone who worked at a Best Buy in the computer department and by proxy worked closely with Geek Squad, I know that it is a massive shit show to deal with Apple products, but I have never heard of bullshit on THIS level before.
I disagree, my customer service experience has always been this bad. My last purchase at BestBuy was for a head unit for my car. I bought a refurb unit. It arrived missing knobs and buttons, I know its a refurb but can they at least check to make sure it looks like the picture on the box? I figured no big deal, take it to the store and they say they'll take care of it. Refurbs aren't available so they exchange for a new unit. But it isn't in store so they have to order and have it delivered to my house. No big deal. A week goes by and I don't have anything. I try to check the status online and it keeps showing pending (or something to that effect). Check with online support and they say it happens sometimes, give it a day or two. Give it another week still nothing. Head to store. Frontline CS sees what I see and doesn't know what's going on. Cue talking to manager. 15 minutes later they figure out that it was discontinued and out of stock at the time of ordering but for some reason the order went through and got stuck. They offered to exchange for something else.
No thanks, I'll only take so many fuckups. The only reason I went is because I had a gift card, too many bad experiences in the past. I'll just go back to buying Netflix or Steam giftcards when someone gets me one, they spend too much time trying to sell me a phone instead of getting their shit straight.
My uncle bought a harddrive at BB as they had a great deal on a massive 512GB drive (yeah, it's been awhile :P ). He wanted to move the data from his 2 smaller drives on to the larger drive and still keep his 2 smaller drives as backup drives in the same machine. They told him it'd cost about $200 for the labor. Fortunately he mentioned it to my other uncle (his younger brother) and me before he went and did it. He watched us do the software move using an imaging software in the first 10mins, then we walked away.
He asked what was up. We said, now we wait, go eat lunch, watch some TV. It'll take about an hr to transfer. "That's it?" yup. He then realized he almost got screwed because they also said they'd have the machine for about a week to do the transfer.
There was a job opening for BB Geek Squad and several ppl said I should apply. I said Nope! I have better ethics than they do. I will not screw over a customer by over charging and under delivering
Now you've heard it.. lol 🤭🤣
God damn Louis give a warning before you wave lithium batteries around in front of the camera like that, I need to get my safety goggles first.
Jesse back when android have removable battery, everyone who use android are walking terrist...
+dueldu of course installing Android makes it explode! What, do you not trust Apple?
Holly was just joking.
Jesse Because Safety is number one priority.
Love the content man. Definitely very interested in the right to repair content you've been putting up. I've been discussing it with my students.
It's so satisfying watching electronics like this get repaired. Saves people a lot of money, and prevents this stuff from going to the e-waste pile.
I love seeing Samsung's name in apple products
He could have saved himself money by buying a Samsung Laptop :P
Mark Wolf well of course buying a used laptop is cheaper and you know those asians take good care of their stuff. Plus I know Sam Sung and hes a pretty stand up guy so he wont rip you off
You shouldn't. I bought a Samsung tv a year ago. 3k dollars and it's panel already failed. Apple sucks too! They need to make shit in America again. I'm tired of spending my hard earned money on cheaply made shit!
Same with a samsung phone XD
Kevin the panel fell off??? Just fell off, all by itself.
Gotta love the bold SAMSUNG printed on macbook parts 😂
Well if its a samsung ssd...
No one makes their own computers anymore. Dell,HP, Apple.....it is all made by Lenevo in China...which is IBM. :P
Something I learned working at IBM fixing Dell and HP computers that came in.
@@emulatorretro Except Samsung.
@@emulatorretro Lenovo machines aren't built by IBM, Lenovo bought the whole computer manufacturing business from IBM.
TheFreePantheist Every computer manufacturer uses standard components and Samsung is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of those components.
Your component level repair is truly amazing. Your so far ahead of Apple Geniuses and Best Buy Geek Squad that it makes we laugh when I think of it!
Beautiful combo of info, humor and closeup camera views.
"Fitter, happier, mooore productive." This must be like meditation for you lol!
For me watching this feels like meditation :D
It's actually a track from the Radiohead album "OK computer". It's called "Fitter Happier" believe it or not lol
I suppose he as we ALL know that already, because Louis said it the first time all scrambled like "Happy, Fitter, more productive"
ua-cam.com/video/B5Wo1ubuzAE/v-deo.html
like BOb Ross
I am not a computer person per se and of course everything you said went over my head to some extent. But I really enjoyed watching what you did. It was so fascinating. Thanks for the video.
you're an awesome human, long live you sir.
Thank you for your insight and your professionalism.
I love how your exposing mac geniuses for being not so genius.
Well it's not like they needed exposure. Their intelligence speaks for itself well enough
One of the reasons I feel silly for buying apple products.
@@peterbonnema8913 it's really not their fault tho, they are trained to do and say what benefits the company not the customer.
They do it on purpose to get your money.
I guess they are geniuses if they are able to fool you.
“Fitter, happier and more productive”
Speaking of which anyone no why he started to repeat this line I here it alot I his videos I have nothing against the phrase just curious.
it's a radiohead lyric from a song of the same name
@@ChadMaddikus thanks man I appreciate it 👍
Rowan listen to the album ok computer by Radiohead it’s very good
@@natehatchell7146 by very good you mean brilliant
love the radiohead lyrical references lol: "fitter, happier, more productive"
Ah the good old days when Louis repaired stuff and had fun.
Came for the dramatic headline, stayed for the high quality repair. Great stuff 👏
Best Buy: Dont open it yourself! The macbook will explode!
Louis: *opens macbook*
Best Buy: NANI?!
Best Buy: Nul
I just hear NANYATE?! because it sounds more retarded :P
Best Buy: Am I a joke to you?
Apple: "if you attempt to repair our products,we will end you,Rossman!"
Louis: "try me"
Apple: "nani!"
Louis: Omaewa shinderu
been watching your videos for about 3 months you're amazing
im never gonna repair a device but i enjoyed watching it done and you are entertaining
Buy apple's product at 2018 AD. Warranty expires at 2019 BC.
"Fitter, Happier, More Productive. Regular exercise at the gym. Not thinking too much."
He performs magic while at the same time reprogramming my mind to enjoy the gym! Genius. Restores my hope in mankind.
Those are actually the lyrics from Radiohead! Knowing that he listens to em makes me love him even more
Your logic is undeniable.
Another Macbook repaired successfully. Good job Rossman.
Very cool, love your videos. I took my A+ certification when I was 15, which doesn't scratch the surface of what you're doing here. I just wanted to say, as someone who loves building, cleaning and repairing all sorts of PC's, I just love your content. What you're doing for people, the education for myself and others, spreading awareness about how corperations handle computer repair issues, and showing alternative measures for those determinations. Cheers, much love and respect.
Wait, did that screw just last about 3 uses??
Definitely a counterfeit screw, not an official licensed Apple part.
A counterfeit one would last longer.
Original Apple scres are made of the finest chinesium and will self destruct by regular use.
You're doing a great job and even though I'm not a technician I enjoy these videos🌺🦅
What kind of techporn UA-cam brought me in here,. Nice Channel Louis and great work on repairing "liquid damage" Macbooks. Keep on that work.
