This was such an eye opener. Thank you so much for this. As a home music producer I would be devastated if I lost expensive equipment because of cheap cables.
You removed the solder using the solder wick and then put the IC without any solder? How is that working? Don't you need to add solder to pads? or re-balling the BGA?
This is why I hate USB-C charging for a big devices, it can move and make a lot of damage. This is why Magsafe or round charging port (like in HP or Lenovo) is better ? Were do u buy CD3215 ? Have you tried to replace BGA chip without rebaling and cleaning solder on the pads ? There is a nice video made by Sorin how to do it
I always thought it was crazy to push 90, now even 120 watts of charging threw those tiny pins. I've taken chances on ebay for CD3215 and got good ones so far. Or I would suggest getting from Louis. The guy who supplies him is pretty good at getting the right stuff.
I'm still amazed that they are putting over 100W of power threw this little connector. I don't trust it. I thought I would be glad that apple brought the MagSafe connector back but the other end of the cable is just a USB-C connector to the same old power brick.
The charging port is the main culprit. It will come back if you don't replace the charging port. The USB cable is not aligning with the pins due to the broken edges of the port.
Overnight my MacBook died, and now is nonresponsive. It won’t charge or turn on, as is my Nintendo switch in my daughter’s Nintendo switch. The only thing I can possibly think of is that I charge them all with the same generic off of Amazon, USB - C cable. Could this have fried the battery in all of them??
I hope you keep making more of these videos to share your knowledge with others. Thank you!
I just found you by watching a Paul Daniels video! I learned 4 things in the first 10 minutes! you have a new sub!!
All hail Paul Daniels, the creator of amazing software, the exclaimer of "oh sweet mercy!", the troubleshooter from down under!
Long Live @pldaniels
and grandpa to kitten nuggets!!@@A2000MHz
Well done as usual Paul
Wonderful to be looking over your shoulder again 😊...F
Technical lesson while having it explained is great Paul. Thank you.
Another lesson in why OCD in certain trades is important!

Paul #1 as always!
Nice to see you again Paul!
Abrasive damage from crappy charger. Had a shave Paul, watch out ladies 😂
I usually don't have a beard outside of hockey season. The season just started so I had to start over. Let's go Rangers!
From which seller do you get your 3215s? Had ten fakes two times in a row now :(
But I don't say that..... one time... ONE time.... :( I blame Louis.
But that one time was glorious and will live on in infamy!
Very educational - thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Trash destroyed by trash. Real poetic here.
Thanks Paul, always informative. Are you still working with/for Louis?
No I didn't move to Texas with them. I have my own shop now. www.pse-nj.com
I will never look at a pencil eraser the same That's pretty cool technique thanks for sharing Paul
Those things are so useful, I always have one on the desk!

Those are new CD3215 chips. I couldn't reball either of those chips, one had a hole burnt into it the other was internally shorted.
I'm talking about the new two chips. When you replace the new chips you just reflowed it without any solder. @@A2000MHz
Good job man 🙂

@@A2000MHz i'm not in us, i tried 2 CN sources, both were bad
Looking at that USB connector under the microscope make me never want to use USB again.

Hey Paul!!! I was wondering what you were up to. did you strike out on your own or are you still with louis?
Yea, I didn't move to Texas with Louis and them. I have my own shop now! www.pse-nj.com

Not the battery, the charging chip and charge port like in this video if anything.
oh god I dont even want to think if you spill something while that crappy charge cable is connected.
👍👍👍
I have a A1708 that needs to be fixed. I will email you the details and hope you will accept it.
