The methodology is just as interesting to learn as the actual solving f the problem. It can pretty much be applied to any field of problem solving where one often gets stuck figuring out the root cause for no reason.
If Oreo starts to not respond as well to the Cosequin, consider trying Dasuquin. Its by the same people but worked a lot better for my kitty. That and T-Relief helped her be a lot more mobile the last few years of her life (till she completely tore a nerve in one of her front legs and couldnt feel it anymore) She lived to be 20 before she passed last August.
I understand you're a very busy man, but it would have been nice to see you diagnosis the exact failed components. However it's understandable that the shotgun approach is less time consuming and thus a more profitable strategy when it come to running a repair business. So thanks all the same.
@@gordonrichardson2972 I know, and if I had dozens of donor boards knocking around then I too would just change them all out like he does here. But it's a tad more interesting for us viewers when he zones in on the exact defect with his multimeter and then fixes it. Just sayin.
11:16 My job is kinda the opposite, working on cars means I have to be the bearer of bad news pretty frequently. Mostly that's the result of people believing everything in their car is fine until it breaks down completely and they have to learn the hard way.
YES! I was a tourist too but I could not believe how many people were just walking right across hogging up the whole bridge. There's a drawing of a bike to signify its where bikes go and a drawing of person to signify thats where people walk.
I am always astonished by the amount of corrosion - or better - the metallic bloom. I mean typically if water comes into the case it should dry off pretty quick.
Its not always just water though and even water contains more than just water unless its distilled. So when the water evaporates it leaves behind salts and also chlorine in the water is going to corrode things pretty fast which most water supply's contain. Also when power is applied while still wet or moist electrolysis will happen and corrode things fast also.
I wonder if you could perhaps have the app that makes a yellow circle (or something similar) around the mouse pointer as it would make it easier to follow along in Paul Daniel's wonderful software ?
Hmmm, I didn't see a green light on the charger, only orange, am I missing something? Also, what was the cause of the smoke and what were you doing/using to fix the connectors? Thanks, RichE San Diego, CA
Do you repair anything other then apple products? Just curious because I have only seen apple products on repairs... just the repair aspect has reaffirmed that I dont want anything to do with apple
I literally found a MacBook Pro at the scrapyard. I saw a pile of computers and laptops. Found it in the pile. Wasn’t busted up. Didn’t appear to have any obvious liquid damage. I bought it for about 5 bucks. I’m considering sending it to you. The fan comes on but no video.
Louis would be more gratified if you tried to diagnose and/or repair it yourself using the videos he's produced. Also, you'll need to weigh up whether it's worth Louis' price to repair it plus shipping & handling.
Hey, if I have an old mid 2009 macbook pro that after riding my bike home stopped working could it be fixed for a decent price or is it just toast. Some context, I believe it probably had some logicboard flex which busted some kind of component off the board, and now when you plug the charger on it only goes light green (not fully on). I had no data loss, as I was able to swap the drive into an old macbook of the same vintage with no issues. I was just hoping to get it back up and running, as it is a much "better" machine. I have seen a few of your videos, and was thinking maybe self leveling concrete could fix my issue, but it seems like you guys are really against that for any repairs. Could you explain?
Do you forget to remove the hot air before you release the tweezers? I have to remind my self not to grab that soldering iron like a pencil, burned my fingers real good one time, and a slight burn the other times.
It can be a pain to repair PC notebooks, too. Sorin from the "Electronics Repair School" channel repairs more of the PC stuff, and after watching a few videos, it's apparent how a lack of parts, schematics, spill proof keyboards & chassis, and standardization of designs & components makes PC notebooks harder & costlier to fix; which reduces how cheaply & quickly it is for end users to get back to work in the event of faults, spills, and damage.
@@TechNinja.1701 Yep, there are a ton of hardware companies that are hostile toward repair, but some are great. It really depends on the company. www.ifixit.com/laptop-repairability
Number one solution to most laptop problems I’d say would be don’t spill a glass of water into the goddamn thing and plug it in like everything is normal
dindog22 q tip. The connector of the mac magsafe design makes plugging in the socket outside of the case kind of dangerous.. and the positive and the negatives can touch each other effectively bridging the psu mains. But really its not a big deal and the overvoltage just carodes the tip a bit. Just clean it off and you are usually fine :)
Yes, that's why you see Louis run the soldering tip down the legs after placing the chip. The solder blob on the hot tip picks up the extra solder and makes a really good clean connection. The excessive flux really helps this process. The final solder should be bright and shiny even after cooling. If it's dull it's not correct.
Alexander Herberstein start with lower heat and start high away from the chip .. keep slowly moving towards what you are working on to see what it will do.. of course use a small amount of flux to keep things sticky to the board area :)
Quickness makes it way cheaper to use donor boards. Like Louis said, looking up values and digging through parts bins is a waste of time. Time is money. Getting on to the next job is more important. He's been doing this for a long time. I think he's figured out how to maximize efficiency by now.
Notice that apple dropped trade in values for all the ipads, phones and so on:?? Nice. They decide when you have to replace...and then charge you more when you trade it in...
Hi there fellow human beings. Unfortunately I have to buy a macbook. I’m looking for mid 2014 model. Is there anyone knows a decent refurbished seller?
C J If u have fucking ryzen 2700x and 2080Ti you can build only high sierra and xcode supports only mojave. you can patch it but it wont be reliable. i don’t wanna hassle with kext and lilu all that shit all the time. hackintosh is not reliable thing.
It may be worth searching Louis' older videos where he talks about "solutions" based billing as opposed to time based billing. It's not just the time; it's also the skill, tools, processes, methodology - and also what the customer needs, and what they are willing to pay for - to consider.
If he can't fix the board he doesn't charge. If the customer comes in later with a different problem and claims Louis is responsible he may have to fix it free of charge. This board he probably turns a good profit on whereas for other boards he loses money. If he was too expensive do you think he'd be working overtime just to keep his business going?
Yes, but I've had some electronics in college and worked on other electronic devices. This stuff is not really beginner level stuff unless you are really sharp and pick up on tech things very quickly. Ohms Law is the base. Resistors, capacitors, diodes, inductors are "passive components"... you have to know what their function is. Transistors and other "active components" are more complicated. I'm sure you can find intro info on UA-cam but Louis doesn't have time to go back to elementary school. He assumes that you have some basic electronics knowledge. If you don't then you won't understand what the heck he is talking about. It's like talking about Trigonometry to a 3rd grader.
@@marscruz I'm an electronic engineering student. He says the name of things to sound smart. He doesn't use any theory or Ohm's law or any theory for that matter. He just narrated what he's doing with 0 context to the viewer; he might aswell talk to himself.
@@nabilandadamslaboratory3422 He doesn't use Ohm's Law because he already understands it. He has explained circuit functions and voltage dividers and the implied use of Ohm's Law without going into details. You already have to have this base level and if you don't then you need to get it elsewhere. Louis is not beginner friendly. He is the advanced level tutor and mentor. If you don't have the prerequisites then can't sign up for the grad level stuff. Keep studying and come back when you get your base levels up to snuff.

"My signature too much solder on the center pad" I thought i was "the bigger the gob, The better the job".
The better repair shops say I hope the next time I see you is when you are bringing your friend in for help.
MerkDolf this is what i say after I do some re work. lol!
"My signature, too much solder on the center pad"
That's only your second signature, your first is to goober up everything with a shitload of flux :P
The proper amount of flux :P
The proper amount!
a "Louis" should be a measure of flux, like the Weber
Also scratching the board

Letting the pixies out.
Do you forget to remove the hot air before you release the tweezers? I have to remind my self not to grab that soldering iron like a pencil, burned my fingers real good one time, and a slight burn the other times.
so the number one solution to these problems from the many that i see is to buy a PC and not a mac?
Shhhhh are you trying to put my man out of a job?

what did you put on the connector after you got the smoke?
dindog22 q tip.

But really its not a big deal and the overvoltage just carodes the tip a bit. Just clean it off and you are usually fine :)
Still appreciate the informational content!
(even though they get less viewership)
What are the most common human behaviors that cause/lead to such corrosion?
Liquid spills into keyboards. Keyboards that can only keep out boulders.
Does the excessive solder on the centre of the integrated circuit ever bridge the individual legs ?
Richard Westmacott not with a good amount of heat and flux .. but it can bridge if you are not amazing at soldering haha.
Yes, that's why you see Louis run the soldering tip down the legs after placing the chip. The solder blob on the hot tip picks up the extra solder and makes a really good clean connection. The excessive flux really helps this process. The final solder should be bright and shiny even after cooling. If it's dull it's not correct.
Can’t you get phantom power for the mic?...

The secret to fast board repair. Time-lapse
When it comes to using hot air and avoiding other parts from flying off the board, Is high air speed or low air speed better?
Low speed of course.

Alexander Herberstein start with lower heat and start high away from the chip .. keep slowly moving towards what you are working on to see what it will do.. of course use a small amount of flux to keep things sticky to the board area :)

Awesome!
20:40 - I don't understand: what caused the smoke and why did merely quipping the pins fix the problem?
Against UCE Some sort of conductive debris got stuck in the connector. It was electrically separate from the board, so no damage was done.
For a second I almost believed that line about the new software costing a Bitcoin...
Center pad solder amount: "Ultra COMBO 78x!!"
