Why A1708 is the toughest to perform RAM upgrade?
- Apple likes to put black underfill on this a1708 that makes everything hard: from RAM removal process to New RAM installation(note that we need to scrape off underfill around the perimeter of RAM chips, and remove the RAM using razor blade instead of normal tweezers like other models.)
- You need to clean all the underfill(risk of missing pad and knocking off other components) before putting new RAM chips. Using Black Glue Remover does little effect to it.
- A1708 has RAM chips on both sides, 2 chips on top side, 2 chips on bottom side. So we cant install all 4 chips simultaneously like any other Macs. - Наука та технологія
This guy has some SERIOUS talent. Ive never seen such good micro soldering skills in my life. I cant believe he upgraded SOLDERED ram to the board...thank you for making such good videos
I cant stop rewatching! gosh
I was thought to upgrade RAM in my macbook pro 2019 by myself, but after I found this video, I will undo my intention.
anyway, great video!
Lol. Dyin laughing right now.
🤣🤣
me too lol
@@myiq170 I know I can't. But same on the other parts.
Ahahahahahahahah...
That was incredible. Someone will always find a way
Shame on Apple designing a system that is so absurdly involved for a simple memory upgrade...just a blatant move to build in obsolescence.
To be fair, it's the only way to achieve such a small factor. If people voted with their wallet to buy computers that are user upgradable, Apple would quit the practice.
@@bobert4522 Apple doesn't do it for form factor. Somehow SSD is modular here and still achieves small form factor.
Holy shit that was impressive!!! I know the basics of soldering so always wondered “why couldn’t I just upgrade the ram myself if I got one of these soldered ram laptops?” Well now I know why- I have neither the tools nor the skill to do ALL that... 😭
Increíble, vídeo. Que gran precisión. Enhorabuena gran trabajo!
Great work dude. It is amazing how you made tons of shitty work look so easy
Good work ggentlemen. Huge thanks brother for sharing
Thank you!
I used to solder boards at an assembly job. It is not easy to solder mini parts. But if you have not done couple years of soldering, it is easy to burn things up. And the solder joints can be brittle if too much heat. Not enough heat will cause easy disjoint.
This video is so satisfying to watch
thank you!
WOOOOOOW, that's was insane! Good work ;)
Absolutely amazing work. Just a question: is it possible to upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB of the MacBook 12-inch 2015 (A1534)? I'm wondering because Apple only offered the 8GB option at the time and only put the 16GB option in the 2017 model.
Boss! Happy Holidays! Now that's how you prove them wrong! Inspiration
Happy Holiday! :)
Yeah. That’s badass. Next level.
I thought the EU passed a law that prevented corporations from making things unfixable? This is not something anyone can do...God I miss Steve Jobs and his designs...This new guy Tim Apple (joke) he's a clown.
The bastard Tim Cook cares about the environment 🤣 what a joke, it’s all about the money.
Actually Steve jobs himsef favored locked down designs like this. Tim Cook took it a notch further.
I know right!!!! Down right facts
Nice job, I'm looking at a MacBook Pro A1708 reporting a possible problem with a memory module. I don't have the skill or the tools to make such repair. This is one of those models that normal repair shops can't do. It falls under the category of NOT REPAIRABLE BY MERE MORTALS.
Wow!!! impressive surgery!!! I would like to learn micro soldering!! Where did you learn that?
Your mom
Impressive!
Very impressive.
Thank you for destroying my plans.
Hello, I could not find any RAM and SSD upgrade videos for the 2017 model post, I watched your video, thank you for your efforts, I wish you good work, is it possible to upgrade ram for the 2020 model macbook pro 1.4ghz model?
We came here to see the simple trick.... Then after 2min... :O f*ck it :D This video is awesome, and terrifying in the same time.
Excellent job, could you tell me where you can buy those memories? I have that same model thank
I have kitchen knife, oven and some solder rod, also i have a gas torch for heating. Will it be enough to upgrade? I have some old ram from laptop to take chips from.
Apple is rage crying rn, seriously mad skills man.
How much will cost to upgrade my ram?
Did live long enough after upgrading or died after some few months ?
Hi... where I can find the supplier of the memories ? There is a website that you can share to purchase the memories necessaries to do this work?
do you offer SSD upgrades to T2 MacBooks?
Man can u upgrade RAM Of my macbook pro 2017 A1708 too?
You're rally a pro repairman. How much does it cost?
Wow amzing but look like lots of talent and technology need to do this. I have a question is it only can be done in Macbooks. I have a Acer Swift 3 will I able to upgrade my 8Gb ram to 16Gb.
It depends if you have the schematics for the specific motherboard
terbaik bosku
Do the methods / equipment and concepts you use for soldered ram upgrades which you do on macs also apply to pcs? I am trying to eventually upgrade the Soldered ram on my Asus Zephyrus g14 from 8gb to 16gb
need to refer to schematic diagram and bios limitation before upgrade (type of manufacture, ram speed, ram limit and ram straps)
That makes sense. I am certain the upgrade is possible given models with that ram configuration exist albeit they are very rare
where can buy ram ics?? could you help me?
brutal
CAN I PAY YOU TO DO MINE? This is crazy!
Is it possible to do it on an Asus Zenbook?
One question. Is it possible to upgrade from 16 to 32 on this board? Is there a technical feasibility? Or is the motherboard designed up to a maximum of 16?
hi, unfortunately due to hardware limitation, it can be only maxed at 16GB
Are you located in Malaysia? If so, can you do this upgrade for me please?
This operation is risky because heating the board to 150C can irreversible damage the other components. How do you approach this risk?
Throw the chip in bin when fried like Lays.
My dude just ripping those capacitors right off near the memory😂
Yeah, that's why we said in the video, to solder it back again
How many successful board you get compare with broken? I have ASUS UM462D with 4 chip 8Gb total Ram. Just scare do the same. But you cool!!
hi, so far we have 100% success rate on macs
Any ram upgrade options for retina a1398 late 2013 15"?
There goes my plan to upgrade my RAM...definetly not goin to trust my local guy.. forget bout getting more speed...might have trouble just getting it switched on again...
how much does it cost to upgrade MBP 2017 to 16 GB...?
How much to upgrade ?
This is impressive... this guy is litterally playing with components the size of a grain of salt, and risking the integrity of a 1000$+ machine for an upgrade. That's some god-tier operation.
Also it's fking sad, because all this super hard work could be avoided by just making swappable memory sticks. Think about it before buying a mac.
swappable memory stick increases the thickness of the machine. jonny ive wanted to make mashine as thin as possibe
Where get the ram chip??
is it possible to go to 32gb total?
you can say the model of the upgrade chips¿
Hello, I come frome Vietnam, and I'm finding a method to upgrade RAM of my macbook pro 2017 from 8gb to 32gb, can U help me!!
can this 1708 take 32gb ram 16+16?
apple needs his location lol
lol...better not
@@iBoffRCCxp xd
MacBook Pro 13' mid 2014 8gb can be upgrade?
Could you upgrade my A1708? its at 8GB
There is no way I would do this myself. However, I enjoyed the entire video. I watched it all even though I can’t do this 🥲 I guess I’m stocked with 8GB until I buy a new one 🥲🥲
I’m sorry but I simply can’t do it sir. Lol
Anyone know a company that does this? I wanna upgrade mine.
Hai bro , just bole tahu brp range harga klu nk upgrade ni ?
dia tgk speed.
1866mhz 16gb rm799
2133mhz 16gb rm1.1k
dari segi performance takda beza
Are you located in Malaysia? If so, can you do this upgrade for me please?
Hi there, yes we do :) where is your location BTW?
I have a question, if i wanna upgare 8gb to 32gb on my macbook pro 2017. It still work/not?
it will that what others do
So it's settled then. Im not doing it...
WOW
Is it possible to go beyond 16GB on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)? Can you put in 32GB?
Thank you!
max 16GB due to apple bios limitation and ram capacity per chip produce by the manufacturer
@@iBoffRCC - Thank you!
01:02 what's been poked off?
Can you change flex cable that cause flexgate?
You can “ improve it “
Mas, lokasi di mana? Pengen upgrade ram juga jd 16
lokasi di Selangor, Malaysia
Great work - but Apple well .... need I say more
I think you can't do this for m1. Because it's totally different.
Yeah, m1 change everything 😅
Bro how much it gonna cost ?

@@iBoffRCC dude,china 牛逼
@@iBoffRCC do you can provide the contact of the supplier on China?
@@wolfgangjosesantamariacord8820did you ever manage to get the contact
What mac charge to do this?
Hi, in RM it costs RM799 with 1 year warranty
Hello, Thanks for great video. I need to know where can I order chips for A1989 (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, and what is the chips part number?
Suppose you would like him to install them for free as well. Come on man...
@@61spindrift I would be happy to install them for free for you or repair any kind of hardware device, only bring the parts.
Is it safe bro ?
of course it is safe unless you put your hand on the BGA machine :P
how much is the upgrade cost in RM?
Hi, in RM it costs RM799 with 1 year warranty
@@iBoffRCC thanx for the info
bro, can u upgrade mac pro 2018 with touchbar
Yes we could
@@iBoffRCC It’s really bad news, I’m from China, but there is no shop in China that can upgrade memory or hard drives like you
Mas Bro, apakah boleh minta bantu meng-upgrade MacBook Pro 2015 Early punya saya ?
Berapa biayanya ?
Terima kasih.
ya boleh tuan, harganya adalah RM799 untuk 16GB. satu tahun warranty untuk ram tersebut
@@iBoffRCC Mas, saya tinggal di Jakarta. Apakah jarak lokasi kita berjauhan ? Jika jauh, bagaimana proses / mekanisme upgrade RAM-nya ya.
Kalau melihat web tentang nilai tukar hari ini 1 RM = 3432,79 IDR.
kalau jauh sebenarnya boleh hantar melalui pos, fedex atau DHL. untuk menjimatkan kos pos, boleh hantar logicboard sahaja.
Lol, he used all the ways to heat it.
Definitely not a DIY thing, must be professionally made (unlike the simple SSD upgeade). And that's gonna cost more. So might be better selling and buying a better mac.
Indonesia??
Malaysia
Indonesia ?
Malaysia
@@iBoffRCC you are very skilled I’d love to have my MacBook Pro fixed by you cause I don’t trust local repairman but we are far away haha btw keep up the good work really like your video 😍
WaW
apple makes the worst possible and most overpriced computers of all, its like 9yo was designing macbook's build
meaningless
Impressive!
