Who else thought of Louis Rossmann?
I was like.... why do I recognize this person... and I go in the description and it says 'iPad Rehab' which clicked me remembering Louis saying that was her channel lol. I'm glad the one time a company sites who's in the video.
and yeah I know i'm 2 years late.
His channel reference her a few times.
She and Louis are both masters. At repairing and pissing Apple off.

Beautiful family. It is heartwarming to
see a parent guiding a child and
teaching that child to improve something
in this world, and how to fix something
that doesn't work. Thanks for the
magnificent content. B'H.
The average American keeps a cell phone for 18 months -- but what happens to their old phones when they get a new one?
*Subscribe to Jessa Jones and iPad Rehab on UA-cam* - bit.ly/2mD1NL6
The average american sells their phone on, only a small percentage actually get thrown away
ReabowRotors i dont think the everage American wil keep 2 phones when they Just bought one. so somebody is probably going to throw one away.(most of the time)
did you even read my comment?
ReabowRotors you probably dont get my point. You sell phone -- another one gets new phone and trows him/her old phone away. Or he sells his/her phone and another one would instead trow his/her phone away
GisterThomas Games I see your point but you underestimate the amount of people who don't have phones
I first heard about her from Louis Rossmann
he makes good arguments.
While on the topic of arguments, "i fucking hate the guy" is not an argument.
I had a feeling you were lurking in the comments. I know that "I fucking hate the guy" isn't an argument, I wanted to express my grievances.
While I have the chance to ask, why are you always angry?
edit: btw I haven't watched all of your videos. I've probably seen at least 20 of them within 2016 and at least watched one live stream.
I don't feel angry. A lot of people seem to think I am angry when I am not. I have an adorable kitty in my lap right now, grinning and purring while I listen to music, pet her, and smile. Life is good.
oh yeah, blackberry the cat.
Motherboard doing a story about people fixing motherboards... INCEPTION 😱😱😱
Motherboard doing a story about a Mother who fixes boards.
motherboard says building a PC is way too hard and expensive; then in the same sentence they suggest a MAC
I come to this channel to see these people and see how full of shit they are. pure comedy.
*loud cinematic horn noise*
@@mrcokez1 Ikr?
It's always rewarding to bring a machine back to life.
This is a great series. I love how psyched Jessa's son to have fixed that bad filter. That's the feeling that makes me want to get up and go to work.
I applaud these women for brining back to life devices that Apple would say no cant fix. 👍🏻

This is what i went to school for in 89; surface level computer repair. Still working with with computers, now a computer analyst (repair, tech, support, training) at a university. When surface mounted components started being used we thought there goes repairing our own stuff and it has been that was for many people. Now i can get the right tools again and start what i started.
Louis Rossmann's Grandma!
@@fancychannelname LMFOA
who's here because they know Jessa from Louis Rossmann?
Jessa is the Og
Jessa, I missed your "YAAY" when the iPad got fixed. xD
Thanks to her, Rossman, iFixit and some other sources, instead of throwing away and buying a new one, I fixed my previous and my current phones after their screen broke. From scratch, little to no experience previous to it.
Not exactly component level or water damage repair, but watching the videos had a demystifying effect that made me want to open things up, and try replacing them myself. Local shops didn't want to deal with them or charged way too much to be worth it.
They reconnected me to my curiosity around electronic components that I had abandoned in my teens. It's something society needs. Beyond "just" the electronics trash issue, which is a big problem in itself, it's about learning at least a bit more how these things we use in a daily basis work, what those internal components are and do, if what corporations and companies are charging is fair, plus a bunch of other things that people need to understand for all sorts of low to high level decisions.
That is fantastic--love to hear stories like this.
~Jessa
Thank you for letting such a positive vibe out of what's actually quite a depressing state of affairs.
and shame on apple for lying about it all the time for money
I never knew Jessa had a video done about her job on here! I first heard about her from Louis Rossmann, who are both excellent people when it comes to fixing tiny electronics.
I am all about being able to repair and fix things themselves, especially now that technology becomes more and more important to us and is more widely accessible. Why should that mean that people shouldn’t learn how their devices work and how to troubleshoot them? Learning to diagnose and then microsolder boards to fix them is of great educational value, and I wish it was being taught more widely. For me, going to a board repair school is impossible as there are just none around. I lean from and fix micro electronics all the time in my tiny room, having bought most necessary equipment to do microsoldering. As of now I don’t even have a microscope and managed to do most repairs of these kinds.
I wish this topic would get more attention overall
50 years later, people with faulty neuralink are gonna be like:
"don't throw your loved ones away, you don't need to be a neurosurgeon to fix your bricked brain, even my son can microsolder your brain electrodes"
Hahaha, when microsoldering becomes a part of neural surgeon training. Honestly we're not that far off from this future
The neurolink has been successfully implanted in a human now. About a month ago.
Fix my life plz
n-nice yoke...
Only ye can do dat breh
Please bro lol
turn off your computer a bit more
Try turning it off and on again!
Wait. No! Don't do that on a second thought!
There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a kid achieve something.
Great video.
Absolutely fantastic! There's no way my 40 yo hands are steady enough for this work. I love hearing stories like this - entrepreneur and repairing the "unrepairable." Best of success to all of you.
I'd LOVE to micro solder... BUT I SHAKE TOO DAMN MUCH
what i noticed is the more you do it, its like your body gets more careful and learns to keep stable. Just keep doing it. your finesse will improve
@Robert F Will try it sometime :)
She is a tech legend. Thank you for all the knowledge you share
"average American keeps there phone for 18 months"
lol so is it bad i still have a iphone 4?
waswilly wantana There should be more people like you. I have my Sony Xperia z1 since 2014.
waswilly wantana dude i still have my 4 you’re not alone brother.
Nah, I still have an iPhone 4. But I only bought it about 6 months ago. Bought it from a dude who repairs them. Not a licenced dealer, just a guy who does it... much like this lady, actually.
i used nokia 6230 till 2014
wow that's surprising, because of planned obselecence iPhones normally don't last that long.
This is one of my favorite videos on YT. Awesome seeing everyone get into this.
It feels really good to see the next generation be ready for whatever challenges technology will give us.
"mom can fix that" 😍😍
Have you ever heard of Programmed Obsolescence? Of course Apple will continue to create almost irreparable products.
Interestingly a lot of Apple's problems seem to be caused by the designers simply not caring about longevity as much as looks. An anecdote by an ex Apple employeed shows that the industrial design team opts agains strain relieves on their cables simply because they don't like how they look.
Heard of planned obsolescence, programmed is that when the software makes it fail?
Why allow repairs when you can sell a new device to morons every 1-2 years.
Exactly - it's not that Apple "didn't think they could be fixed" - it's that Apple would rather sell more devices than spend money supporting older ones to this extent.
becuase cell phone companies don't do it for the last 20 years
My iphone usually costs 250 or less. Most of the times, its just not worth it to repair it though.
Biplav Shrestha why?
aikam007 Because technology improves exponentially?
Is it weird that I teared up over the amazement and effort of Jessa and others in this industry?
No. It's such a releif to know things can get fixed and restored!
i remember when i fixed my first touch ic i took like 10 pads including the m1 and it took me 5 times to reball the IC and the whole thing took me like 3 hours now im down to about 20 minutes start to finish
It is good to see people that are persevering at being component level electronics engineers.
It is a skill set that could be lost much like what is presently happening with the automotive industry. Where experienced automotive diagnostic technicians are being replaced by fitters that just plug in and look at codes then swap modules in the hope of correcting the fault.
Jessa, please please please keep doing what u do. I can not praise u enough for what u stand for. The apple company is just.....im sorry, i dont wana get started and all worked up about their practices. Please, keep on pushin! And, i feel the same way about giving someone their photos back of their kids being born, weddings, graduation pictures, and when they get their phone back and smile, then they put their passcode and opens, they jump. Then they open their photos app and they get quiet with they eyes starting to water, thats payment enough to me. Thats better than money. Around where i live, just a cracked screen and they think they lost everything. I dont do board level repair, just screens and they start hugging me and throwing holy water on me. Just wanted to share my thoughts with u if u personally read this. Thank u for all u do.
There exist recycling bins for electronics ALL OVER the place. There exists ZERO excuse for electronics to "end up in landfills".
I have never fixed an electronic device in my life (though I certainly would like to know how)
but neither have I ever simply dumped one into the trash. 2 km from my house is a Magnum Recycling trailer where I take all
used electronics for recycling.
This is the kind of thing that feminist should be promoting and advocating for, not walking around topless
Lets talk all day about the problems with feminism, but they certainly don't have anything to do with electronics repair, lol
Don't be an ass Luca.
If they want to who cares, men walk around topless. If women can't, men shouldn't be allowed to either.
Yeah, and lots of Feminists DO promote this sort of thing, but that doesn't make an interesting news story now does it? Maybe you should direct your complaint to the jackass bros who control the media cycle rather than the women who actually do something to change this shitty world
Feminists don't promote this sort of thing, they promote discriminatory quotas on the hiring end instead of getting women to actually go into those fields(which is why there aren't as many women in those fields in the first place)
Because every problem women face is "The Patriarchy's" fault and never theirs
interesting concept, i run a computer repair business and iPhone screen repair is a huge part of my business. soldering a motherboard under a microscope is way out of my league tho. idk how beneficial it will be in the future because apple is always going to release new products and everyone's always going to want the latest and greatest.
That's why it's quite a nice. Even replacing the glass of a laminated screen assembly is considered hard in the phone repair industry though (it seems).
I'm note sure about that, right now people do because it's become a social status thing to always have the latest phones. But it's kind of stupid, innovation has slowed to a crawl and new phones are pretty similar to old ones. The momentum from so many years of innovation might take awhile to run out but the average lifespan of a phone is already increasing and I think that it will continue to do so until there are some serious breakthroughs in consumer technology.
Ryan R true but Apples not gonna just not make a new iPhone for any long periods of time. They have new features planned out years ahead I assume. They've got breakthrough features in the vault guaranteed. The majority of apple consumers are always gonna want the newest iPhone while the rest will just carry around a 6 for 5 years.
And then you will be fixing the latest and greatest iPhone for your customers :) these phones don't last long anyway lol
AGREED.. That is a shorter period of the average contract so that tells me that the product is breaking because of excessive wear or misuse.
Am I the only one who loved the kid? I want to be the kind of mom this woman is.
figuenoire Move on muppet
Just do it, just be the person you like to be, you can do it, they are not superheroes, they are normal people like me and you.. stop waiting for nothing.. just do it, start today
Issue is with devices is mostly that they get outdated too quickly and repairing them is far more expensive then repairing. Although apple is a ripoff and they are actually worth fixing, but they are the only ones worth fixing because they are so overly priced.
But most other devices parts and components are dollars to replace the broken part rather then spending hours of labor into fixing it.
Not if the broken part is the mainboard ... but yeah, Apple are the only company people invest im fixing devices of, which does frustrate me a lot.
Yeah, agreed. one of the parts on my Old Android cost more than buying the whole device again. at that rate I would just get the next iteration of the device.
(the charger port was bad and ruined the board, but the older generation of the SG's were all one piece, not separated.. so when you wanted to replace it, you'd pretty much have to buy the whole phones innards.
Rossmann is a gem! I wish I had even 1% of his skill! Jessa Jones & ROSSMAN are on a different level!
That kid is soaking up information. We need more of this.
im sure if we all had parents that smart wed turn out the same way
I just wish that their were more people around like Jess and Louis. I am 74 but did my 6 yr apprenticeship in radio and tv engineering, a trade that does not exist in todays throwaway society, There are no longer any college courses available because manufacturers deny access to service data citing " interlectual rights". what they really mean is "we want more sales" this all means more landfill, more toxic waste and more corruption. well done Jessa and Louis
Please make videos on all that stuff! I'm sure people who love to tinker and invent would really enjoy them! It might take a bit to get the algorythm to build your audience, but I know people would like it a lot.
you know what i see?
I see a business women who is successful at selling a skill and caught a tech noob hook line and sinker and they outputted bullshit like (1:46) "not even apple thought it could be repaired"
What bullshit!
((edit) I will change the above statement a bit, she didnt feed them this bullshit , wired distorted what she said and then released this painful to watch video.
what she is doing is great teaching others how to repair , but I maintain the stance that the real value is the schematics and basic electronic knowledge that anyone in electronics should understand but may not posses , I admit I don't not know the whole background to this, I am and was just pissed at another bullshit video by wired.)
although I must admit , many of these repair shops including hers are so good at getting these schmucks to pay them to work for them!!
ReabowRotors You must be her evil competitor from the next town over.
mwahaha i shall take all her business.... in the uk
You know what I just read? Bullshit....
component level repair is not easy. smartphone-sized component repair is pretty crazy.
Not really if you are just buying in the standard components and replacing them like this woman seems to be mostly doing.
The reason a lot of people dont bother to get them repaired/fixed as it costs too much,I laughed when she said "even apple didn't think it was repairable" LOL yeah sure thats because they want you to buy their latest model.
I’m sorry I only found your channel today. Awesome job. Teaching the next generation is vital and extremely rewarding.
iPad rehab sounds great in this promotional video. Try sending them a phone and see if anyone knows anything about it for 6 months. I did and they didn't. I wish they were more organized, i would've loved to be Able to send dead phones somewhere for data retrieval or repair. The truth is the world needs this service more every day.
This video just changed my life. What magnification range do I order for the microscope?
90x if you're doing trace repair--45x otherwise. We have a list of all our recommended equipment and supplies on all of our YT video descriptions. Have at it!
I used to buy cracked iPhones for $190 when I was 14/15 , fix them and flip them . Wish I would of stayed doing that . Very beautiful to see people work on this
how tf a 14 year old get $190 to begin with lmaoo mustve been rich before that
🎉🎉 hardcore respect to this lady for mastering smartphone micro soldering 🤝🤝🤝 it's just so awesome to see her craft at work😊😊
Jessa Jones is so awesome. Truely an inspiration.
Awesome to see that you are teaching the next generation of repair technicians.
I'm sad that I can only like this video once.
She fixes electronic boards AND she's a mother. THAT explains why this is on the Motherboard channel!
She's a mother fixing boards, featured on the motherboard channel.
Very similar to the cottage industry of watch repairers in antiquity - work was usually done by women and children who had smaller hands and better eyesight. They didn't learn the scientific and mechanical intricacies of watch making from scratch but rather what the common faults were and how to fix them.
Reduce Reuse Recycle..
Hats off to these wonderful women...
Watching her teach her son was epic ..
Most of the phones discarded are activation locked and new logic boards are not cheap. Thanks though, for the almost worthwhile content, Vice. No wonder its such a short clip.
This makes no sense. How about you FIX the logic board for this very reason!
I used to work in a warehouse full of iPhones needing to be fixed and sold in T-Mobile as refurbish device. I loved it! benefits are definitely A1. But i just hate how they paying Cell phone Tech's 8-10$ an hour while having the battery explode in your face (sometimes). I'm a level II tech they pay 11-15 an hour still isn't enough.. I loved it. The company is very diverse and it owns 4 buildings around the logistics strip
This was very interesting.
Jessa is very smart and very cool.
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
im really amaze that there are women that are into microsoldering repair they have more steady hands than man as i observed first time i saw her is when im watching louis rossman i cant beleive me ears when he said Jessa was his grandmother
How come I'm just now seeing this? Anyway's I feel so privilege to see you guys interviewing people I know of. Thumbs up! #RightToRepair
Wich motherboard is more advanced Iphone 15 or Macbook pro in term of VIA connections, Package on Package systems
This reminds me that I was supposed to go to job corps for electronics repair. But there was some confusion and some sort of scam or fake/lies. They didn't send me the bus tickets and told me that I was supposed to be there already....
years later. I applied for again job corps. Completed 2 years and got certified comptia a+ computer technician and Cisco CCNA certification.
Amazing! smart great moms and guys giving second chance to tech 😊👍
I thought I would smuggly present why this is a bad idea by pointing out the cost of her tools and ruling it dumb BUT, these are not specialized tools. Found a microscope similar to hers (that does not output to screen) for about $50 and the SMD tweezers for $30. Guess i've been bred into this "just replace it" mindset so common in electronics repair...
Came here to say I am glad someone is (essentially) pioneering a new industry of electronic repair.
This is really cool. Respect for the ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Amazing!!!! Really really nice! I am a software engineer and I love to see woman doing this kind of stuff. I have my electronics lab in my house and I would love if my wife got interested into electronics!!
Fabulous mom, highly appreciate your work.
Watching Jessa teach her son was so wholesome.
People have been doing this since console modding and repair became popular. I've done BGA repair and microsoldering since I was 13 in 2008 and there are those before me doing it much longer.
This lady and her gang are real heroes imo.... amazing work...
I'm also a Internet warrior against people that do this kind of work, without gloves, without anti-static wristband...
She puts the mother in motherboard.
its happening. electronic mechanic.
Question,,, is reballing necessary? I’ve only really had only about 40% reball successes. I went to reflow and my return rate dropped significantly.
Very inspirational, interesting that this attitude and movement is coming out of the US, given Asia's dominance in the electronics industry...this movement deserves funding and support from government and environmental policy makers!
Nice ! I’m following your video’s for several months now, they are very usefull in manny ways. The repairability of whatever is very important for the future. I’m a electronics bachelor in the the late 1980 begin 1990 and trying to pick up again my first love .. electronics and the repairing of it. My first project is a time capsule failing, i could fix it because i have 5 of them and so i was able to bring the working parts together .. :-DDD but microsoldering really bites me it won’t let go, you are doing a amazing good job !! I heard a dutchman in one of your video’s is he back in europe ?
She is an awesome scientist & entrepreneur! The fact that she is training women with no technical background to do that type of work is inspirational and demonstrates that not having an educational degree shouldn’t be a barrier for professional development.
they still aint proffesionals xD
that is pure environmentalism , simple logic and decent job creating opportunity .
i keep my phones as long as 3 years generally when they break but may go a little longer now given i can repair them now i also have been sharing the old ones with family and friends who can not afford upgrades
I never throw out old phones. Still have a working iPhone 4 sitting on my dresser
please, is it possible to know the exact characteristics of the microscope used in this video? Thank you
Huge respect to all the Pad Rescue Team. I tried doing stuff like this on my GPU but wasn't skilled/patient enough
Beyond the environmental/economic implications of fixing stuff (opposed to chucking stuff out), I simply loved the family dynamic and the stay-at-home dad implied in the background (that's not me specifically, but I'm one of 'em out there). Cheers. My kids are third generation geeks. $0.02
Can you help me for my Acer Nitro 5 laptop mainboard problem diagnosis and remove bad shorted components like capacitors or MOSFETs and hopefully fix it instead of replacing a whole mainboard?
Mothers fixing motherboards.
As an engineer I'd like to take a training class with your company, looks fun!
I soooo need her kind of hardware setup. Its awesome!!
“You didn’t kill it” LOL!
Not sure if theres a more inspirational woman than her.
this is wonderful glad that theres people that devoted to fixing old use phones
3:02 "Stabilize the board with a metal shield". Seriously? This is all it takes? Apple could not have installed a metal shield into their iPhone in the first place? I have never owned nor bought an Apple product & I never will.
this is actually really important more than people realize no matter what way you look at it either environmentally or even economically saving money and the planet 2 birds with 1 stone
my phone keeps falling out of my asshole. I need to upgrade to a 7Plus right?
GoOutsideMan By that time the apple 8 will be out with super slippery edges so it's that much easier to crack the screen.
Someone help Me! My asshole appears to be Activation Locked by my brown icloud! I forgot the code! Please bro help me bro I need a solution!! lol
I recommend the iPad Pro.
this industry is booming in Shenzhen. Definitely more than a dozen in one building alone.
In austria around christmas every houshold is sent a postbag called the wonderbag "Wundertüte" and you can put your old phone inside and throw it into the next postbox and mail it for free to a charity organization. The organization will reuse and sell your phone or recycle it. From the money eared charity projects are funded.
I’m trying to get a program started I’m my area too refurbish broken phones and giving them too the families who need a device but can’t afford one. Also trying to get something from the carriers for the internet to set up a special hot spot area for the less fortunate so their kids can still get their home work and school schedules at no or very low cost. Unwanted electronic devices carry a wealth of hardware and hard to get materials and are extremely toxic in landfills. It’s a no brainer to get these devices either back in circulation or stripped of valuable components and properly recycled.
aside from hardware, I always felt that companies sabotage our aging phones with the latest software updates
Very nice video. Apple should be working with iPadRehab to collect information about the kinds of device failures they are seeing. I've worked as an electrical test engineer and have done a lot of work troubleshooting and analyzing failures of RMA boards. Feeding failure information back to hardware and software designers is the way to make truly outstanding products. It's a shame the life cycle for cell-phones is so short. The frantic pace of consumer product design is one of the most annoying things about the industry.
Love to see this.Keep up the good work and don't let the jerks get to you.
Hello bro I have question, In your opinion which one is the best for opening the phone or screen without a risk, the hot air gun or the hot plate and which model to take, thank you for advance
There are so many things I love about this video and Jessa....She's pioneering an extremely technical field and sharing that information with many, she appears to be a good mom and a hard worker...and she has so many apple fan boys besides themselves with what they perceive as an insult to their brand/religion hahaha
Boi! That MULTiMETER is more important than ppl realize. Diagnostic Possibilities are endless
