Do you blame Apple? I wouldn't bother with component level repair and have a high chance of repeating issue either. Components get so incredibly small that a very strong microscope is needed. I do think it's a problem they make their shit so difficult to repair though. Solding everything on the board :/
@@nickmeijer88 The bigger issue is finding competent people that can do this effectively. This guy is fairly rare. There's no way apple can find tens of thousands of people as good as him to repair macbooks all over the world.
@@SCVC123 Agreed, but Rossman charges $450 for a single smc replacement. It's heavily dependant on schematics and board view, it takes him about an hour of time and a few bucks worth of components. When you look at what Apple charges, it's not much, but also not the same. In a few years most of these board components will be so small that it will be impossible to repair. Ask Rossman to fix an iPhone board.
@@nickmeijer88 You can't shrink the components beyond a certain size because traditional soldering methods won't work anymore. However size and a good microscope isn't the problem. Apple replaces whole units instead of doing component level repair because these mass produced boards cost less than the minimal wage of a technician for the job. If the average repair time and replacement components cost more than manufacturing a new board then it doesn't worth repairing it. They charge you hundreds and thousands but make these parts from fraction of it.
@jo mo mo Nah that is not capitalism. There is ton of companies which make their components replacable and repairable. This is because Apple is just a shitty company.
don't worry my dude, after a while you'll get an idea, I couldn't do it myself but I feel myself slowly getting why he does things but I just love watching these videos for some reason lol, feels like I'm learning while being entertained.

Dear Mr, Rossman, I am from Bangladesh and I have an a macbook pro. A1398.... I am writing this just to say thank you. Before I came across your channel I used to be totally in the dark about the INSIDES of my laptop which cost GOOD MONEY. Your tutorials and general "I DON'T WANT TO FEED APPLE MORE MONEY, I CAN DO IT MYSELF" attitude allowed me to do a few repairs with my own hands. I am not a particularly religious person, but if I were, my prayers would be with you. Thank you very much for the time you take out of your busy schedule to do what you do for thousands of people like me everyday. God bless you and your team. And keep up the amazing work. Peace
This is far beyond my knowledge of tech support or repair. But I always find these fascinating. And to add to the spelling question He spells colour correctly that's why.
@@peterkiss1204 Colour is based on the French word "Couleur". Americans for some reason don't like the U (I suspect it's a middle finger to the British English language). Same with HONOUR, FAVOUR, and a few other words.
Louis, please start a go fund me and I will send you money to expand your store. You have been doing great work for the community let the right to repair community do something nice for you.
well i ordered my hot air setup and all my supplies i also have a few donor boards to practice on and a metric shit ton of your vids to help me along thanks louis you have inspired me to take up self repair
10:01 That's the british, and I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's british commonwealth spelling. We spell it Colour up here in canada, and I bet more places do as well.

So he just removed the capacitor and the short was gone? What I don't understand is, don't you need to replace the capacitor? How did it just work when he removed it? Was the capacitor not necessary at all?
Long story short. A while back my a1706 macbook pro fell on its left side and i imagine the wifi cable/chip broke. I took it to apple not knowing better but thankfully they replaced it for free. When i got back my macbook and the paper on their repairs, they had to apparently put in a new logic board, top case with battery, 2 i/o boards and the antenna module which seemed weird to me. After some digging around i came across your channel. If it wasent for you i would have been fucked by apple and its shitty repair practices. If my a1706 has issues again, im dm’ing you Louis
LOL I had a Blackberry bold 9700, used that damn thing as a bottle opener after work all the time. Also have a few of those tools when I replaced Ipod touch screens back in high school. Only kid in high school with a ebay account :P
So what was the purpose of the cap? Bypass cap? Filtering? It seems it wasn't critical for getting the machine to boot, but can you leave it off? Will it be more unstable now, because it was a bypass cap?
If I ever win lotto, I'm gifting you that ridiculous deposit! You deserve it, Louis. You're a good person. And honest. And acerbic- lol. I love & appreciate your videos, soooo much!
A very common use case of capacitors is smoothing out power sources in electronics. Many times the components will just work anyway without it if there's sufficiently good power coming in. Sometimes there are other caps helping too so you're fine. Replacing it is still best practice, though.
Warwagon well the cap does serve a purpose... it smooths the power going into whatever chip the power needs to go it. It’s not critically important and the device will probably work fine without it, but it is beneficial to have. Kind of like how your car would probably work just fine without any air filters but you should obviously have them.
It says "colour" because it is a proper English spelling of the word that originates from Latin and French mixture. Not simplified american for the hoi polloi.
It's the English way to spell colour and since the USA mainly uses English as their preferred language the correct way. But hey no one is going to get hurt if its spelt, yes spelt not spelled, incorrectly.
Since you ask, _colour_ is how you’re suppose to spell _color._ The reason why you don’t use _colour_ anymore is because schools in the US stop teaching how to spell English right. For example, you’re suppose to spell _phone_ with an _f_ and not with a _ph._ Apple should be calling their product the _iFone_ but hold onto the old spelling of _phone_ and don’t use _fone._ This was done by educators in the US as response to the great vowel shift of the early 17th century. As a result, these educators changed the spelling of certain words to make them more phonetically consistent, while it left other word mysteriously alone. _Gaol_ becomes _jail,_ _aeroplane_ becomes _airplane,_ but _colonel_ stays _colonel_ even though everybody pronounces it _kur’nel._ So, you’ll sometimes see _through_ instead of _thru,_ but they’re both the same word regardless if people use the new spelling or not.
телефон , Russian spelling of telephone. the "o" with the vertical line through it is the letter "f" , so they still spell it that way , not with "ph" .
Lol...I had 4 years of BlackBerry Curves then Bolds (still have one somewhere) and thought they were the best phones ever... thinking back on it... they were finicky, slow and I think I only had them for the full query keyboard... that said I never was attracted to the iphone I hung on to my BlackBerry love until 2013 until I finally had to admit they weren't the pinnacle of smartphones and got a note 3...since then samsung has owned my life... bloatware and all
Hello I’m becoming quite a big fan of yours. In one of you UA-cam videos you mentioned, there is a free to use version of Paul Daniels software. But without some functions that are available in the paid for version. Would it be possible for you post a link for that download please.
Paul Daniels comes from a civilised country where they speak the Queen's English (for now anyway!) so colour has a 'u' and solder is pronounced 'sole-der' not 'sodder' - as Louis of course knows!
So it was just the loose usb rubber that fell off and made a short circuit and that caused the voltage to drop from 20 volts to 5 volts and hence the Apple failed to charge and this guy found that rubber culprit at 11:27 at PP3V3_G3H.
Color spelled with a u is the proper English spelling back in England. I have seen it spelled that way countless times from people who were born in England then moved here or are doing business here.
why is that cap there? What no longer works because its been removed ? I don't understand why taking that cap off has not broken something else. Surely its part of the cct?
The connector that you popped off does it ever get replaced with a new one or is it just not necessary to replace it sorry if this sounds like a dumb question

wouldn't it be cheaper to establish a repair faciltiy in an industrial building somewhere in the state and employ a guy to just drive between the repair facility and the NY store twice a day? Yeah you'd have to delegate but I imagine growing your bussiness would at some point require that anyways... I mean you wouldn't have to cease repair activity in the NY store, just extend it to a second repair facility. And your employees working and living outside NY would get to keep more of their earnings. Advertising could enable profitability of this second location and additional employees.

Wondering if that cap is going to be replaced along with cleaning that section of the board, looked kinda funky
Rossmann has a Thinkpad....
My respects bro
So he just removed the capacitor and the short was gone? What I don't understand is, don't you need to replace the capacitor? How did it just work when he removed it? Was the capacitor not necessary at all?
Capacitor is just a filter.
Cloaca, that's the 1st time i hear a USB called that. and probably the last haha
Louis' face is magnificent
Louis has taught me about Pee Pee Bus gets hot and Ohms is supposed to work right. Also not to have a bent or blown out capacitor.
Every time I hear Louis say "picked at random", I can still hear the ironic voice of Paul shouting "RANDOM!", in the back of my mind. Classic.
