Can I say that I enjoy your Board Repair Videos, not because I ever wanna repair boards myself, but just to see you work your specialty and how you problem solve is really relaxing. Keep it up.
Bring the dead charging cases to Legislature hearings and show the pile to the law makers. Show them the chip. Ask wether this is good business practice.
@@AeRiaL_ Indeed !!! The hearings are definitely theater. You are only on stage for 1-2 minutes (think teenager's attention span). You've got to amuse them for 10-15 seconds, slap them in the face with about one minutes of hard facts, and finish by disputing the lies that the lobbyists are going to tell when their turn comes.
As a student in high school, I *am* actually sad that school is closed here. I have a lot of seperation anxiety when I am away from my friends and am used to spending time with them at school. Since school is closed I'm not able to do that with them anymore, being able to talk with them over discord or the phone is one thing but I still wish I could spend time with the girlfriend and spend time in class. Since I am also a senior in high school they are considering cancelling the graduation ceremony which is really a downer for me. I worry that I might not be able to say goodby to all of my friends I had in high school, hug them and see them in person one last time before I leave for college. Along with this many other school events like sports games, the theatre shows, band concerts, feild trips, have all been cancelled. It may sound like BS but it's very stressful for me and my friends and we all wish things could go back to normal at school.
I genuinely think, after utility providers and food suppliers, anything related digital services are the most essential during a/thiss virus outbreak. This is the best and only way to keep things running without throwing society centuries backwards (in my opinion).
Lesser Spotted Mugwump. Same here in DK for “critical workers” emergency daycare is provided - so better to infect their kids and let them pass it on to the other kids😬
Lesser Spotted Mugwump. Ohh quite agree - there’s no quick fix for this one - but we’re not starving and without possibility for care in case we get infected. But we need to be carefull. I don’t know how it is in UK, but here in Denmark especially the Young seem to think that they are invincible they have a hard time accepting the social distance thing - so it’ll be a long time before it’s over. I just hope and pray that the hospitals don’t get flooded like in Italy because then we’re neck-deep in shit.
You asked "what is it"? It's anti-monopolisation. The opposite of what apple wants to do. I'm an electronics technician from way back. Back when capacitors and resistors had leads that went through the board. Electron tubes got hot without the smoke escaping. Can't do this SMT stuff. My coffee slops over the edge of my mug as I'm carrying it to my chair from my hands shaking and my poor bloody eyes can't even see the resistors and such you deal with. Best wishes from Australia and keep up the good work. p.s. I don't do Apple at all. I'm a Windows man on IBM clone motherboards.
hi rossman I often see your videos on UA-cam, very useful for me and your video is always a reference for us technicians in repair I am from Indonesia i have a problem with macbook air. this macbook is dead, then I change the smc chip, can live but when on macos, there is no battery indicator on the menu bar, the charger indicator is always green, but the macbook can live with batteries without using a charger, also the macbook can live only with a charger even without battery then I started to repair the charger circuit, but to no avail then I tried to flash the EFI-ROM, using the SVOD2 via Enit sam connector maybe because I'm tired, I'm not careful, on the flash option, I choose the EEPROM SPI flash, when I click the "read" command only to get a file size of 256KB, I save the file, then I start to flash with the file, but after the macbook flash it's dead, can't live at all, and I just found out that I made a mistake during flashing, because I should choose SPI 25 Flash (for efi flash) but I chose EEPROM FLASH I have checked all the voltages, everything is normal but the Macbook Air still cannot live I tried to flash again, but there were no results. I hope you can give direction to me. then what is meant by SVOD2, with the EEPROM FLASH command with the 256KB file size, which chipset is flashed by the SVOD? help me please 🙏🙏🙏
My kids are bored as hell (don't know how to entertain themselves) and want to go back to school. But every time they say they are bored we make them clean something.
Take the ladder from over by the basement stairs, and put it behind your work bench. Then clamp a horizontal beam from the ladder out over your desk to support the camera.
not sure if you'd be able to do this or not, but since you seem to fix apple products, why not try to fix Air pods? or is their not enough money in it?
Awesome video and I loved the ending about the Batt chargers....... I would love to work for you , BUT I would die laughing every day, soooooo that's not a good working environment for me since I don't have a few thousand lives .....LOL... BTW I just made an order from The Rossman group store.... I can't do a super chat since my Pay Pal is froze at the moment , but I can support the channel through the store.....
I would say if apple wanted to truly go to their minimal waste program, making a chip accessible would be a smart move, maybe the don't really care about waste actually
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Stay safe safe y’all . Just keep the infection population curve low till the medical staff and treatments catch up, takes time to build our first female nurse army. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️
remember that time not long ago, when the ESA lobbied against R2R? Saying that a local business named bethesda would be impacted by pirates because the bill would allow people to bypass DRM... Wel, here is a new counter argument, there is little legislation can do if they ship their newest game... without DRM... They just... forgot... HOW? JUST HOW? How can they be so incompetent! That their games are broken is one thing But right now they have broken just about everything outside of their game as well Fallout 76 had install issues on launch ESO has uninstall issues (all files remain) Their own launcher released broken And now, even their DRM fails... or better yet, they fail to DRM
Louis, if you have to close the store, then you could just make use of the office space by throwing a socially-distanced macbook repair party. Invite your favorite employees!
Hello Louis it seems that when you have connection problems with that ISL chip you automatically replace it.....is that strictly necessary ie are all the pulls definately defective ?.
hey Louis, first of all love your content...Secondly, I would like to ask you for some info regarding the latest macbook air 2020...I'm currently facing a dreaded decision to purchase one (need for job)...I can't seem to find anywhere, but I'm curious to know, have apple fixed the thermal issues, and the pointless fan "feature"...if you have some info, would appreciate...thanks! stay safe!
What else could you use the battery charging case for, like can the batteries be reused in anything else or change it to a solar kit for third world countries or something. Need to see what else this is made of.
Just a complete noob question here, but is it possible to put the old ISL chip from the 2016 macbooks onto the pcb of the iPhone charging cases? If it works and it's safe, you can just sell them on you website or ebay for that matter.
Hello. I'm currently trying to change the screen of an iphone 6 that broke. My issue is that a few screws that secure the conector of the display to the phone ( chip? Board?)do not move. Any idea if i need some special liquid or any lubricant would do? Thanks.
A risk of returning "defective" charging cases, is that apple catches on to what's going on, and redesigns the case so it no longer uses that chip -- and suddenly your only reliable source is gone. You'd have to buy a pallet of 'em to make sure they're available in the future, and stack 'em up next to all those ...2014? screens..... Hypothetically speaking, if someone ~was~ going to do something like that, they'd probably be well advised to reball the old dead chip and install it on the charging case board before putting it back together. Might buy a few more months before triggering apple's radar. Hypothetically speaking, of course...
i know is going to sound draft but have thought sending back to apple and saying these don't work anymore: as I had to take the chip off it: that way apple will have problem of getting rid of them:
Well after being forced to watch a Wix ad I can confidently say I will Never buy their product! I might have 10 min ago but not now! FU Google/YT! You still get a thumbs up because you do not deserve to be punished for Google's fuckwittery!
If there are any more hearings Take all those cases to the next right to repair hearing and show them the evidence of wasted electronics due to apples greed I've just seen someone else said this, oh well great minds think alike

I'm sure they're think it's great business practice as they count the money Apple donated to their re-election campaign.
*stops paying attention * *does something else * *suddenly has to cough * Louis:“Stop coughing!“ *starts looking for hidden cameras *
Your office looks like the size of the whole last store!
Some just make their masochism more entertaining than others. Keep fighting the good fight, Louis Rossmann!
Saw a few X-ray charging cases on eBay, 48$ a lot cheaper than buying them new ! GL! Love your work Louis!
ESSENTIAL! Stay sassy, strong & healthy, Louis!
I am here for ALL the content!
Loosing it home alone,but you're helping lots Mr pp bus. Thanks.
Can't stop washing my PP_BUS. Thanks Louis.
Wishing you keep surviving thru these difficult times. You do great work. Good luck.
Thank you for your content man. You tought me an important and quite eye opening lesson on private property.

Woah, I've never been this early. I guess that's a +1 for the quarantine.
Keep clean your pp-bus 😁, do what Doctor Rossmann tells you. Keep safe take care!

00:06 OK, either the doors are really big, or Louis is smaller than I thought 🤣
I just noticed how big the door looks lol
Take the ladder from over by the basement stairs, and put it behind your work bench. Then clamp a horizontal beam from the ladder out over your desk to support the camera.
Louis: don't cough
California: *coughs anyway*
Louis, do you repair ALPR cameras at all? Anyone know if he reads or responds to comments? New to the channel
He tim we need to redesign the cases rossman is using them to repair macbooks. Really oh my steve
So often the problem is either ppbus g3h or pp3v3 g3h
I am kinda pissed they won't let us have in-person classes in college for now. My classes were actually a lot of fun to go to.
Glad Luis is keeping the zombies at Bay

I'm a prick to Louis. That is why i like you.

A robust, essential service
People will panic more without their Apple crap, so I’d say your business is essential to reducing the stress of the public.

Wel, here is a new counter argument, there is little legislation can do if they ship their newest game... without DRM...
They just... forgot...
HOW? JUST HOW?
How can they be so incompetent!
That their games are broken is one thing
But right now they have broken just about everything outside of their game as well
Fallout 76 had install issues on launch
ESO has uninstall issues (all files remain)
Their own launcher released broken
And now, even their DRM fails... or better yet, they fail to DRM
He didn't say "fan spin".
Do you use thermal imaging too? To locate power draw that is
Is it common practice to use a probe point as a via? I have only dealt with 2-layer PCBs.
Louis, if you have to close the store, then you could just make use of the office space by throwing a socially-distanced macbook repair party. Invite your favorite employees!
there is going to be a "heyrow weclome" motion sensor on your door....
Hello Louis it seems that when you have connection problems with that ISL chip you automatically replace it.....is that strictly necessary ie are all the pulls definately defective ?.
you could try to sell the left over batteris to DIY community
Why not use a thermal camera when there is almost 7 watts going into the board? That'll surely show up in the picture.
hey Louis, first of all love your content...Secondly, I would like to ask you for some info regarding the latest macbook air 2020...I'm currently facing a dreaded decision to purchase one (need for job)...I can't seem to find anywhere, but I'm curious to know, have apple fixed the thermal issues, and the pointless fan "feature"...if you have some info, would appreciate...thanks! stay safe!
Watch the max tech review of the i5 model. I ordered one, but canceled yesterday. They are a pro Apple channel and even he looks confused.
@@BrabantXXL Yeah, saw the video yesterday, that made me rethink my decisio also...i guess the "special" fan design is still present...
I washed my PPBUS before watching this video.
Don't you hate when your PPBUS isn't present after liquid damage? Especially realllllllllllllllly cold liquid damage.
any update if you are an essential service? and the amount of dust in those fans. oh my!
If you bought the battery charger from Amazon and then returned it with a bad part you would just be screwing
the dealer, not Apple.
Please, everyone, be safe with this crazy stuff going around and take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Hey Louis, I recently bought mid 2015 Macbook pro 15" and the body sometimes makes cracking noise. Any idea what it could be?
"Essential" is the new "Random"
The battery in those cases is probably worth something, if not for repairing other apple products then maybe for hobbyists making drones or something.
What else could you use the battery charging case for, like can the batteries be reused in anything else or change it to a solar kit for third world countries or something. Need to see what else this is made of.
So are donor boards for the 2019 all dried up? Or do they tend to usually come without that chip on them?
What if the camera is static, but the earth is shaking instead?
Just a complete noob question here, but is it possible to put the old ISL chip from the 2016 macbooks onto the pcb of the iPhone charging cases? If it works and it's safe, you can just sell them on you website or ebay for that matter.
I wouldn't be surprised if an iPhone charging case circuit would be less complicated than a macbook charging circuit.
I wander how many offices are papering over their windows with fake closed sings but are still hard at work inside
I actually WOULD DO EXACTLY THAT. I would buy a lot of them. and then take chips out and put bad ones back and return it.
Hello. I'm currently trying to change the screen of an iphone 6 that broke. My issue is that a few screws that secure the conector of the display to the phone ( chip? Board?)do not move. Any idea if i need some special liquid or any lubricant would do?
Thanks.
Why is there no AD on this video?
Louis, i'd gladly take all the batteries off your hands :D
You obviously need some shooting slots in the door and wall.
What about taking out a working one and reverse engineering it?
A risk of returning "defective" charging cases, is that apple catches on to what's going on, and redesigns the case so it no longer uses that chip -- and suddenly your only reliable source is gone. You'd have to buy a pallet of 'em to make sure they're available in the future, and stack 'em up next to all those ...2014? screens.....

.6 volts and 3 Mohms is a diode or transistor load.
The 350mA also falls right in line with that theory.
Typical PN junction characteristics.
put the camera on a floor stand like those floor light box stands
The time he told us not to cough was right as im coughing O.O
He's totally going to do that...
Couldn't you still come to work and just not open the doors? Whos gonna know?

Louis, you look slightly vertically challenged standing in a doorway that's close to twice your height. You got a 10 foot door to your office or what?
