Today we’re going to try and restore this destroyed Apple Macbook Pro that I bought off of eBay for $66. Perhaps I overpaid, but with the screen snapped off, I thought it would be a fun challenge! Join me as I try to get this broken MBP into a working state :) #Broken #Macbook #Restoration

I’ve seen many “restorations”, but they literally buy a new computer part by part, but this one really felt like a true repair.
Your right
Other UA-camrs buy new laptop, make a clip for there done part then destroy the laptop
@TheHomeMediaCollector Productions thanks for the tip!
Looking at you, Hugh Jeffreys...
@@cringefairy2687 also Luke Miami xd
The only UA-camrs I've watched that actually restores the tech (instead of replacing it) is Psivewri and The 8 Bit Guy
People seeing a broken computer on the internet: Who would buy that?
Psivewri: Hold my eucalyptus oil
This comment killed me XD
people:who would buy this trash
technicians:hold my oil
its in the essential oil aisle
@@cubingclassroomfan4323 really?
Yes
Every time I get his notification the first thing that comes in my mind is eucalyptus oil..
Keep doing the good work bro..
Same here. Don’t forget the mentholated spirits!
Don't forget the trusty knife.
That's why I opened the comments
first mention of eucalyptus oil at 8:01
Seller: This laptop is snapped in half
The same seller: FRAGILE STICKER
Ryan Poorly wrapped as with most typical eBay purchases with fragile items! I leave negative feedback when sellers do this shit!!
graphicsgod or just return it
"My solution was actually to press the chip down with some cardboard."
😮
Apple: "Damnit, they've learned our secrets!"
Yup, Apple literally put rubber on chips that were making a bad connection and called it fixed.
"Don't worry, the fool used cardboard. Our high tech rubber pad secret is safe for another day" 😉
Is it still working with the cardboard fix?
It was so satisfying, this restoration is the best i ever seen yet 👏🏼
Same
i thought the clapping 👏 emoji was the potato 🥔 emoji for a second 😭
Agreed for sure 👆👆
Why is that lowercase I so tall 😩
AA türk 😮
When is eucalyptus oil gonna sell in America? I need a can
even hard to get here in aus right now :(
Ask the government to bring it!
Just get it from india
@Philipp Maier im in Germany
@Lake's Revenge of the Skits i know
I just discovered that I find PC repair/restoration vids therapeutic haha. It's satisfying to see something so broken get brought back to life and in good condition.
Now that's a restoration, not like some others that replace everything with new parts and call it "restored", you really put some effort on it. Great work!
I’m starting to think he snorts Eucalyptus Oil
yeah he probably uses it as lube as well
He showers with it

Wow! Very impressive! I like your attention to the details like shielding the board before heating up the GPU. Can't wait for more videos :D
Good job once again!
I never did a laptop restoration but I really enjoy watching those videos.

Wow, I never realized that that gpu commonly had issues. I have that exact model, and I've had many drive issues and plan to soon upgrade to an ssd on it, or more likely to a newer Retina MacBook Pro as a side laptop.
Edit: Actually, I just booted the laptop back up, and the gpu isn't recognized and the system is using the HD 3000.
I am following this guy for about 2 years from now and he make great content
I don’t know why he is not growing
By as much as he should because he makes superb quality content
You should not be demotivated and I hope 🤞 you will grow rapidly soon
I really loved this video! His voice is calming, and I loved how'd he used the heat gun to fix the AMD graphic processer, keep up the great work, Psivewri! ^^
Nathan, you are quite knowledgeable when it comes to computers. I have seen several of your videos where you fix old or damage computers and restore them back to life. Congratulations on such an excellent work.
Damn I’m genuinely impressed with how you managed to bend it back into place. Awesome video!
Just woke up. Happy to see a new Psivewri video. 🔥
I had a MacBook Pro with this exact same graphics issue, and using software I was able to permanently disable the discrete GPU and re-sell the laptop as working. Great video.
your work is so amazing. you really do seem to put much effort into everything and trying to reuse parts as much as possible. its really nice and appreciative.
There's something oddly satisfying watching this kind of video and hearing an Australian accent at the same time.
I’m glad to see that he kept the old casing
Man I love your videos so much :D I always look forward to these restorations. Keep it up!!!
Wow I'm already hooked. All your videos are of high quality content.

Awesome video man!
Greetings from a Brazilian fan of your jobs in these machines!
i think you should daily drive this or at least leave it on a few days a week to see how long the gpu fix will last! would be a very interesting experiment :)
Oh believe me, I am! I'll post an update on the community tab with my findings
Well this restoration turned into a recipe... spoilers below:
he cooked the motherboard in an oven
I hate you but also hate myself. I thought the video ended.
Now just need seasoning

great video mate! always look forward to your awesome videos, learn a lot and yet still enjoyable to watch! keep it up dude, love from new zealand
Dude! You are a very dedicated person! So thorough! My hat's off to you
When you are lifting your arms in that chair it makes me uncomfortable, btw nice video bro love watching you.
Dude me too honestly
Yes
yes?
WTF???
??
Yes a Mac video
Love watching these. Great stuff! I have my two old MacBooks, a 2012 15” and a 2012 13”, and I just can’t bring myself to drop them off as e-waste, but I don’t know what i’d do with them if I restored them, either.
Do you ever put other OSs on them? I feel like these old machines will really shine with something like Elementary.
I love this channel! I dont know why youtube took so long to recommend it, I'm always watching repair stuff. (I also love the car repair stuff. As someone who fixes electronics and cars/lawn mowers its fun to watch)
That macbook pro is really impressive on how it held itself up even when the screen was split from the case. I can hardly imagine what it went through.
Maybe someone threw a tantrum becos it is broken
I think when a laptop is snapped in half, graphics issues go without saying lol.
Yea because the gpu is probably broke aswell
I'm just amazed the screen is still 100% working
Hi, your channel made me to start some restauration on old "white" macbook. really nice to do and gain knowledge. thanks for that motivation :)
long weeks you haven’t updated your channel, I was worrying about you heath got COVID-19... finally you upload new video, thanks.
1:20 As Louis Rossman would say:
"Fanspin!"
also judging from what he said about Linus using an oven to reflow a GPU I'm sure he'd have a lot to say about your approach as well 👀
FPSpammers I didn’t use the oven to reflow it 😂 maybe watch it again
Psivewri ofc it was to pre heat the PCB, I mistyped there right after watching the video :')
Damm you are so skilled at this stuff!
I like ur pfp
This is simple shit tbh you just need to know what u r doing
Diak- PUBG ha ha thx mr Linus
Linktoad64 the dude how?
Bayron Rubio i know it is ive done it too before i fixed up an old dell laptop hinge broken screen broken and a few others
The restoration is so impressive!!, thanks for giving us some helpful information, i scrutinize your video since the IBM Laptop episode
I love your gentle patient repair.

@@heliosss69 you serious? my phone works, nothing wrong with it, just a bit slow thats all, i dont use it much, i dont need a new one. it would be nice but i dont NEED one
@@sgeggbub1008 not trying to be mean or anything
I thought only Louis Rossman was allowed to fix Mac's on youtube.
Best video yet like videos where u fix the mother boards problems and screen problems
I had to do the same fix for a coworker's old 2011 MacBook Pro. That DosDude1 tutorial is awesome. Not that I would keep that MacBook for regular use myself that is.
I just want to pay this this man to fix my laptop. Since i can't really trust my local service shop. I really plan to send my laptop to him. But sending the package probably worth more than a new laptop
@@kingonduty2825 its not that broken to be honest. At least not as bad as what he used to fix.
Vaio VGN TZ37GN: unknown noise, dying hdd, dusty fans, heating...dry thermal paste, problematic fan...dying LCD, hinge problems.
HP pavilion dv2: presumably a dead motherboard...wont start, broken fan doesnt spin, heating... dry thermal paste, dead screen... Maybe, dead hard drive... For certain.
@@akhyarrayhka4048 oof
When your so early... yeah can't think of an original joke 😂
Its amazing you have the pateince for this work. Nice work.
That is good repair work especially to the casing. Can I ask you on a separate subject. Would you recommend the Fitbit Ionic that is on your wrist? My fitbit is tired now but I can't see any that I like but I have always like the ionic model.
Safe wishes to you and thank you for the fab video's :-)
As far as I know the Fitbit Ionic is now discontinued. Not sure how good the replacement is 😅

14.35 How on earth did you get the oven photos?
I paid $60 dollars for a untested MacBook Pro unibody with everything except the hard drive. I put a hard drive in and plugged a power adapter and everything worked perfectly fine. I sold the motherboard alone for $100😆
And did I mention that the battery was perfectly fine as well?
@@yarik6543 Wait, I'm not seeing a 4k option 😅 Maybe it hasn't processed fully yet!
First lol 😂
Congrats, you’ll be forgotten in ~1hr

How?!

For the Sierra installer, I believe the date settings are beyond the threshold for successful installation (authentication on server side, I presume)
You can circumvent this by starting Terminal within the installation USB and use the 'date' command to manually change the system date to a time when installation is allowed (the initial release date of the desired OS, for example), then start actual installation
I have this laptop and had the gpu issue you mention in the video, However before toasting I decided to check all the tantalum capacitors to see if they were defective, there was 1 that has negative readings well under a volt, I heated that cap and tried the laptop only to find that it worked and the cap was temporally restored at this point I bought a replacement cap from ebay and and replaced the dying cap. Mine is now fixed been gaming on it for over 3 months no issues. when heating that gpu up you most likely did nothing but temporarily fixed a cap that sends power to the gpu. The restoration was great but the lack of electronics skill applied is sad but now you know for next time. Love the video keep em coming.
Keep up ❤️ loving your content
great job bro at turning something most people would use as a donor into a functional machine....props for the case work and the gpu reflow...
Man I love this channel, I have a precious iMac G3 ready to restore (gifted from an old friend) but without eucalyptus oil it needs to wait until it starts selling in Spain.
At 14:39 that is some cool filming from inside the oven. Better than drone because I’d never seen it. Well done.
I’m so happy stumbeling on this video! I thought my macbook was a lost cause but thanks to this video there is some hope because it has the same exact issues!
I really love your restoring video!
Congratulations! You have earned an new subscriber!
nice job, patience is an art... thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the skillshare signup link and for the good content on your channel. Blessings!
Love your content keep up the hard work
you should have more subs!ur videos are great!keep up the great work bro!
You can get thermal tape and a temperature adjustable rework station for under $50 USD. Stencils, flux and solder balls for a few dollars more if you really want to have a proper go at it.
Great stuff! Well done! Awesome video :)
You should try Brasso copper cleaner it does a better job on the scratches, also you may be suprised how long a reflow will work. Its a bit hit and miss as the line between the right temps and reflow times and failure is small.
Reviving broken things is so satisfying
Your voice is so relaxing...
Just for that I am gonna subscribe. :)
This is the third video I watched from you. Yay!
Restoration videos are so relaxing
oh man great work bud! it would be nice to see another ibook one day :D
Excellent video, love the repair ethics.
For gaming you could use geforce now, no graphics issues then
I love this restorations you deserve 1 million subscribers
Great videos bro
Nice!! Do you normally sell these restored MacBooks?
Man, you are an absolute WIZARD with this stuff.
The pliers you can tie rubber bands on it . I do it to prevent my metal from scratches and prevent the plier from moving
Incredible work!
Psivewri: see's a broken Mac/computer
Macbook: don't buy me don't buy me
Psivewri: holds his eucalyptus oil
Macbook: damnit he bought me
hey, just a tip!
if your macbook is really slow because of the battery, navigate to /Volumes/OS X Install Location/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin/Contents/Resources/Mac identifier (eg. MacBookAir4,2.plist)
Delete the plist file
if you can’t do it do it from terminal in os x recovery (only for 10.12 and above, might be 10.11) (10.10 - 10.7 tested )
Hey Nathan, any idea on doing a customer pc repair type of content?
there's something so satisfying about watching things get restored
could you make a build spec video of your desktop? What case are you using it looks very nice!
Great video, with the gpu in its current state would still sell that back on eBay?
1:52 I would love to see someone just casually using a laptop like this in a classroom or coffee shop 🤣
it's about time you need to launch your own eucalyptus oil business. this channel is virtually a eucalyptus oil Ad channel.
A dedicated video about where to get and how to use eucalyptus oil would also be great. i bet it has many more usage than as a cleaning agent.
E.g. it works great when removing adhesive residues and some non-polar stains. sometimes better than isoprophyl oil. But you can also put it in to hot water and drink it as a tea when you have cough or sputum.
I’m excited for this as a tech-fixer myself
awesome job!!
Great work OMG!
Good video. Your video makes me want to do this kind of thing if money isn't the issue. Anyway excellent work.
Your videos like ASMR for some people, so relaxing
This channel is so good
