Dude, thanks for creating videos so people can actually learn something, believe me when I say your job is much appreciated.
I take a few month break and then binge stuff he's uploaded. I like the variety and do watch these repair ones too.
Kinda reminds me of Atomic Shrimp channel where he does scam baiting, 100+eps of Weird Stuff In A Can, or like goes to woods to live off of Russian military ration =)
I've really been on the Louis Rossmann board repair video grind. I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I really do appreciate your educational content. Even though I am a new viewer, I find this stuff interesting, and I love your commentary, and especially the way you explained what was going on with this board in this video. I thought you did really good explaining, and I am glad that you do make videos like this. Even though I don't do my own board repair and I am a new active viewer, I've quickly come to appreciate your content.
Also, I love how you end most of your videos with, "I hope you learned something today".
Just think about the loss of information if Louis never did what he does. There are lots of other repairers on here, but Louis you make this channel the best out of the bunch. I mean what other channel can you watch where someone get hit is the nuts with a nerf gun!!?? Poor Steve lmao great job guys. Here’s to many more hits and videos 🍻🍻
Thank you Louis, You made an I see broke thing, I replace, done! Video, into an educational video explaining PNP versus NPN transistors and how a voltage divider works. I also enjoy your explanations of buck converters. Although your enthusiasm for the videos may be waning, your teaching skills are second to none! Thanks
They named a city AND a state after this guy, that's how much of a legend he is.
Louisville and Louisiana?
A popular German drug and cosmetics store chain is called Rossmann, do with that whatever you want.
@@jayhill2193 Popular in Poland as well.
Today I learned something I already know. Capacitors fail.
I do really enjoy your board repair videos. They inspire me. I wish I had the knowledge, skills and facilities to do repairs like that myself. I have done a few simple repairs in the past, including hard disk recovery, but I'm getting on a bit now :(
Keep up the good work and I hope you win with the Right to Repair movement.
I am slowly learing stuff, just started getting really into pc repairs. Thanks Louis, even tho you don't feel our support the few of us who watch these videos are very thankful. Im sure!!!
Beginners guide was a rabbit hole I didn't expect to take me but it did and I'm happy about it
Funny enough, I intentionally watch almost everything you share! You're funny to watch and you teach me quite a lot about several things, so I'm thankful to have found your channel!
Regarding notifications, I don't ring the bell for anyone. I subscribe to channels that are interesting, and then use the subscriptions feed to see new videos. I'm exposed to new content only when I choose to look at the recommendations or get bored and check the homepage.
Regarding the voltage divider description, I'm sure someone already pointed out that it would only provide ~4V if the resistor values were the same. Since the larger one is on top, the voltage is even lower than stated.
Do keep making all kinds of videos!
We have that same screw driver in my works service department and we all refer to it as red rocket. I'm glad to know Louis is also a fan of the Red Rocket.
It's so awesome that you make these videos that don't get a whole lot views. I always learn something when I come to this channel.
You explained the way the transistors work and purpose just fine. Like your work wish I had the same kind of setup. I only have irons and a old style gun for soldering. In the process of getting a hot air gun sometime soon. Thanks for the great video ( as always I did learn something )
I just came across your videos, and really appreciate them. I think, what might make them a little better, would be if you added more information to the comments about what you've fixed, rather than what you used to fix it. It's nice to know that you used a certain soldering iron and flux, with the links, but if I'm searching on youtube for how to fix a specific part your titles and descriptions will not easily reveal which video I have to watch to see you fix the part that I've diagnosed as broken.
Always loving your videos Louis, even merry on more whiskey than i meant to drink I'm finding your vids well worth watching, but I'm not going to bed just yet, I'm relaxing after a cruddy week so Ima going to watch your VERY relaxing city rides.
I still enjoy your videos your comments are always honest and logical 😉
Louis is a great human! God bless you sir
Keep making great videos about repairs and cats and refrigs! Thank you for your knowledge sharing and your valuable time to make these .
Louis keep on doing what you're doing you're awesome
That was not an awful explanation, I understood it, I thought it was very clear. So either it was a good explanation, or my thought process is awful. I'm going with it was a supremely most excellent excellent explanation.
Love the board repairs,won't own a mac ever,but then i'm half nerd. keep up the good work!
Good explained backlight circuit luis
It’s the same for ever UA-cam channel I am subscribed to, I get notified, I play, I don’t get notified I would think you didn’t didn’t make a new video.
You have to remember that UA-cam is an entertainment based social media platform. Something that is over 15 minutes and is highly technical, detailed and educational is not what people click on. UA-cam is for entertainment only at the end of the day.
I understood you perfectly when you described the operation of that circuit.
Love how my high school computer eng class is enough to understand all of it lmao
LOL the "Why =(" was quite funny
3:18 Instead of "Why? =(” maybe a "Louis was here! :)"
Hi Louis, love to see your videos with the morning coffee. Look, I was wandering where do you get the schematics and what's the application that you use.
Not interested in repairing that hell of a boards, but I learn a lot about power and signal with your videos.
www.apple-schematic.se/board-ids/
and I'm pretty sure the application is pldaniels.com/flexbv/ in his older vids he used to jokingly rip on Paul Daniels' software every video. The impressive thing though is it's just some guy, not a huge corporation making this software as far as I know.
100% agree with your point on having to be in-person for lectures. It makes 0 sense.
I love watching these videos on my upgraded x230, (SSD, IPS, backlit keyboard) from 2011, an absolute brick that is still running fine and is too cheap to fix anyway.
thankful that i learned something today
5:12. It's considered bad electrical engineering practice to have a capacitor between the Source and the gate. The FET can oscillate as a result. they should have one more resistor.
Weird choice to place a "filtering" cap between the source and gate, so the rise time is significantly slower.
@@stanimir4197 The filtering cap is there to slow down the rate the supply voltage rises. Too fast of a rise time will cause the source voltage to sag. I've used this kind of circuit myself on a project, but I added a second resistor between the cap and the gate. The alternative is to find a high ESR capacitor, but that is hard in that 0.1uf value.
Louis, "how long is a piece of string?" "As long as it needs to be." 😀
Luis please make video on your bike build with all specs
Hats off my friend
Great work.
Thank you
If you go to subscriptions instead of Home in UA-cam, you get only videos from your subscriptions, with new ones on top. No random suggestions, etc. This eliminates the need for notifications, which don't seem to happen on PC's anyhow.
I watch em, good job bud.
I like your videos even though I will probably never touch an Apple product ever again. It is interesting to see what's inside consumer electronics.
Thanks for your video bro...
Hello, Louis, Could you recommend working tools from your workbench more affordable, there are many brands on Aliexpress, example soldering iron which would you recommend? I know that Hikari's are excellent but they are very expensive, for those starting out like me
Your link to solder paste in the description is dead
So this q7707 is like an logic and gate?
Keep up the good work!
What is the purpose of the capacitor that you say you don't need to replace but do so anyway....? At 13:33.
And you inspired me to fix my food dehydrator!
It's there to keep constant voltage in case PPBUS G3H voltage fluctuates, it's usually not necessary but it's good to have it
i only watch your tech videos. i do not care about all the others.
Thanks for sharing
How long is a piece of string? 2x the distance from it's middle.
What is NYC Stage 4? Here in Melbourne, Oztralia, we are stuck in Stage 4 *AND* an 8pm to 5am curfew. Those caught breaking the curfew will be shot on sight with an effing hefty fine. 😡
Circa 14:40 It's all very well making the "perfect" video but the real educational part IMO is including the far cups that are/can be made. It shows what results if you do something wrong during the repair. That is where your videos shine Louis. I used to review tutorials for a quite well know company and they deliberately left the mistakes in because they could be made by anyone so you saw what happened, how to recognise what was done and how to resolve it. Yours have done the same. I think the problem at this point in time is that COVID exhaustion has set in and we are all getting fatigued by it.
Of course I could be just full of shit. 🤷♂️
Hope you, Erica, Mr Clinton, Blackberry and Oreo are all doing well. 👨👩😸😻😼
"far cups" 👍
Joseph King COVID is necessary, we have too many people on this planet
That keyboard looks like a redragon one?...I have the same one I guess but I have a double input problem in mine on most of my keys....are you also having that issue?
Bit yellow?!
On the subject of logic boards. Is a 2015-17 logic board board compatible with my 2014 MacBook Air?
I want to upgrade but here in Australia airs in those age ranges are still $750-$1000
Are you still doing ok?.. Home and business wise?.. I saw your bike vid and seen other videos that NYC is being abandoned in historic migration out..
We watch a video on how to fix something, when you need to fix that something, I watch just for the intelligent conversation, with yourself.
Love your content man. But amount of people with skill and brain to appreciate repair or educational videos is limited. And this plague kind of killed enthusiasm in many people.
If you’re reading this, you’re not done with the video yet
true
No i finished
Just Some Panda Who Is Angry ok
Well regarding recording videos once: You assume everyone is watching board repair videos to learn. I am watching for entertainment sry ^^
Make a best of Mr. Clinton day, easy. The rest is New York small business news, Corona stuff, New York real Estate, and i would like some Louis Rossmann hidden New York Gems guides.
And once a week some board repair! There you have your 10 Mil. subs.
When did this become Burger King?
(I'm teasing I just couldn't resist the joke)
Man your to good.
Half of this repair process is logical diagnosis, and the rest is like dentistry.
You didn't kill the covid 😥
I come to watch you kill covid but you just let it live 😥
😆😆😆
"Return to sender"
TL;DR Your primary content is vlogging now. The primary viewer base growth is therfore heavily based on those viewers' interest in that primary content. General consumption content draws general consumption sized crowds. Board repair is still extremely niche compared to vlogs. The algorithm will always promote the content with the broadest viewer appeal; that is the basic core principle of any ad revenue business model. Your board repair viewer base has grown substantially too, but of course not near as much as the vlog base. Probably lost some viewers too, among those super into board repair but not interested in vlogs.
The last couple of years, the bulk of your content has transitioned from board-repair and equipment / technique content, to vlogging. The last year or so, board repair has become more like _the rare exception,_ rather, than the norm. A tonne of your UA-cam channel growth the last few years stems from new viewers who's only interested in that; the vlogs. In that context - With that being the majority of your content now for a _really_ long time and during much of that growth - comparing views count today between board repair videos and your vlogging, really isn't fair. Board repair, big picture, _is still and always will be,_ niche as hell. Vlogs are far more "general consumption".
However - to those who actually *_do_*_ watch these board repair vids of yours,_ they mean the world. Over the years, through and with the help of these videos, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people have been able to fix electronics by themselves, that were otherwise destined for the scrap heap. For even more people, it has pulled back the curtain of mysticism and "danger" of electronics repair, enlightening them on what is possible to repair vs manufacturer BS rhetoric. And for tens of thousands of people, this content have been a big part of making them able to make a partial or full living doing this themselves. Quite a few of them have even gone on to start their own buisinesses, creating jobs and livelyhoods for thousands of others.
Your board repair videos might not have enormous view counts compared to vlog banter, reflection and rant videos. But they are far more consequential and valuable to those viewers behind the count, and beyond.
You are deadly good
I'd like to work with you.....if you moved to Delaware. lol
Idk what’s happened to my MacBook Pro, after a while the screen starts glitching out with random lines going up to down and everything then starts to distort, can anyone help me?
nice
Long screw in the short hole
Chris was there???? 🤷♀️ (Sorry CL 😁)
What kind of phone do you use?
Remember you need to remember people like me have never seen 6,7,8 years of videos.
Another dead macbook ? Now that's something new 😁😁😁
0.55 Is that amazing software Paul Daniels' own excellent FlexBV that he created? And you too can have a copy to speed up your MacBook and iPhone repairs. I guess it must be available here then, pldaniels.com/flexbv/ . Make sure you do *not* choose the Southern Hemisphere version or like Louis you will find the boardviews (not included) will be orientated wrong as in upside down. 🤦♂️
i wish i could work for you even as a toilet cleaner!!
i dont care!!! xD just hire me please hahaha
Yeah, it would definitely be tempting if I lived in NYC. But I don't. For me it's 556 miles/over 8 hours. That's just not workable as a commute.
Does anyone know how to bypass the activation lock on an iPad that would be willing to help me ?! Thank so much in advance!
There are people who still use dial up in America
Anyone have any idea why I'm not getting audio on these videos? I'm using a chromium based browser on Linux.
There is no virus
I love seeing Samsung chips on Apple boards. The irony.
Younger generations rather watch people talking nonesense rather than be educated.
Plenty of older people waste their time watching nonsense, it’s not a generational problem.
@@pansepot1490 Jerry Springer!!!! You're right.
Ya I'll agree, you are getting worse at teaching as time goes on. But hey man, you got alot going on, and its all happening at once. So we get it. Still come back for the entertainment rather than the knowledge.
horrible Mask Speech
Apple products look nice but performance wise they are garbage
nice
