Slight correction: if you put 2 10 uf caps in series, you do indeed double the voltage but the effective capcitance is 1/2 or in this case it would be 5 uf.
15:19 That blade soldering tip can actually reach both side of a simple SMD passive at once if you rest it on the side of the SMD and add a lot of solder, ie, it can desolder both sides at once. It saves melting parts close by.
Threw away a Dell Latitude PII-266 some years ago that wouldn't start (no power whatsoever). After watching your videos, I bet it was as simple as a capacitor. Although having far too many computers, I will never forgive myself 😝
Watched this for 5 mins and subscribed. You clearly know how to repair system boards on laptops so I'm adding you to my list. (It's a good list..not a bad one).😁 Edit: I liked your analysis of the dodgy battery. I have the same battery analyser you have. I need more time to build a database for what it can test.
Tip: Get a bend pointing tip for your iron and learn to use it, so you won't spin boards around. You can use bending tip to reach to all angles to components.
You need a pair of hot tweezers , also a little flux and low melt solder greatly helps in removing components. All in all great job though , I’m replacing a battery in the same Mac book this week and it’s nice to see how things can go sideways .
You can also use two soldering irons, one each end, or low temperature solder e.g. Chipquik. There is a UA-cam channel called Mr. Solderfix who shows his incredible SMD rework skills.
👍 I try to aim for 30mins, but I'll let the timer get up to 45mins before I really start slashing out sections. Past 45mins is when I think the content starts to get less accessible because there's too much in one video, or the video is just too slow.
I had a motorcycle that "blew" a fuse like that. I was going crazy for a while trying to figure out what was going on. Things were getting voltage and the fuse looked OK and a quick continuity test beeped. Finally after seeing that the ignition module acting weird I checked the resistance on the fuse and just like this, it had resistance. So there wasn't enough current to turn things on. Something I always check now even if a fuse looks good. I didn't know they could do that either but it makes sense if you think about it because the bridge inside the fuse can burn just enough to increase the resistance to where it doesn't burn all the way through and disconnect.
After going though the work to connect the NLBA1 to the battery, you were about 2 clicks away from reactiving the BMS and having a good chance to end up with a working battery. Of course some controlled charge-/discharge cycles would have been recommended, but it would have been worth a try instead of throwing away a battery after just 2(!!) cycles.
The vast majority of batteries in laptops are heavily used, and not worth saving. This is an uncommon exception, and it's not worth paying the unlock licence to save one battery. I do agree that this batt was a textbook candidate for unlocking, but it's a very rare exception in my experience.

Hello !!!.. One question, I'm fixing a MacBookPro A1707 that buy on ebay heeh.. the thing is that already detected several capacitor dead, and then the laptop start to consume some current. The thing is that after some seconds or minutes, the same go again to "dead state" , 20v - 0 current...... What do you recommend to check?... So far I check on the power aliases for the PBUS rails and I have 12v on all of them, but when checking on IMVP Rails, are at 0v... Is this normal if the CPU has not fully started?.. I'm starting to think in a faulty battery , what do you think recommend to check? Thanks for any suggestion you could provide! Regards,
2 x 10uF caps in series would give you 5uF!! Also all that scrubbing from side to side with the soldering iron tip is a very bad idea IMHO. You run a very high risk of detaching the pad by overheating in combination with mechanical force.
Could we just take a moment and acknowledge, that 0805 capacitors with 22uF and 25V should not exist? Whether it's an old Macbook, a new Macbook, a Lenovo thinkpad, a Lenovo dockingstation, an Dell Laptop - these things are becoming a running gag and not a very good one at that. Apparently they can be manufatured with that kind of spec, but with 0 tolerance and thus only with a very low reliability.
@@MattyEngland I don't necessarily agree to that in this case. On this board as well as on most other boards I have seen these capacitors on, there would have been enough space to place 2 10 µF caps instead. There problem here seems to be, that at least one capacitor manufacturer claims to be able to produce 22 µF capacitors and of course, OEMs like Apple and others go for them, because it reduces the BOM. But apparently, it is just not possible to produce a 22 µF in such a small case, that is reliable. Either the capacitor manufacturer needs to stop producing and selling these or the OEMs need to stop using them, even though they exist and "work" in theory.
@@Vasilis_Parlamentas thanks. I knew about this one but I asked in UK because a friend of mine lives there and will come and visit me here. So he made an order and will get it at the end of the month.

Unlocking a battery doesn't stop it from being a crap battery. Some batteries are worth saving, but most of them aren't. They've locked up because they're depleted, or they were bad to begin with. I do have an NLBA, and I do use it for battery recovery, but I'm not spending the money on an unlocking licence to save a cheap low quality batt.
That is possible, some repairs are unviable, maybe possible but too complex and risky to attempt for the money you can charge for them or require equipment they don't have (reballing a CPU often requires some equipment or serious skill to do without) have you compared your estimates to replacing the logic board all toghether? That is an easy swap for anyone willing to follow directions. Keep in mind the 2016 and 2017 A1706 have removable SSDs, so you only need the logic board. Look at the prices of buying a logic board vs. buying a whole computer with a cracked screen or bad keyboard as well.
hi, i love your videos, really helps a lot. maybe you would be so kind to assist me. i have a bricked gigabyte p17 v3 with the wrong bios and i am trying to reprogram it with a ch341a. now i followed your steps and advice as close as possible. my problem is that i cannot find a bios bin file for the chip (gd25b64csig) or i am just too ignorant. can you please assist me.
This one is tricky... You can download the BIOS from the gigabyte website as an exe, and then open it in 7zip. This contains "BOOT.img" which can also be opened in 7zip, which contains "OutImage.bin". That's the clean BIOS file. If you flash that and the laptop starts, get it into windows, and then run the BIOS update again, to make sure the EC also gets updated.

The real stuff smells nice, which is kind of a problem. The fake stuff smells bad so you don't want to inhale it 😅
Is the client using an original charger? It's all very fishy, this laptop has gone through 3 batteries...
What make is that capacitor?
bEST REPAıR VİDEOS FROM YOU KEEP GOİNG !!!
Why didn't you unlock the battery it's only has 4 cycle count
Didn't you see sorin how he use the battery analyzer tool
Unlocking a battery doesn't stop it from being a crap battery. Some batteries are worth saving, but most of them aren't. They've locked up because they're depleted, or they were bad to begin with.
I do have an NLBA, and I do use it for battery recovery, but I'm not spending the money on an unlocking licence to save a cheap low quality batt.

I don't think 4 cycle is a low quality battery
When I sent my MBP A1706 to a place to be fixed they said it’s shorted through CPU. I refuse to believe them. They couldn’t fix it, It’s still dead ☹️
That is possible, some repairs are unviable, maybe possible but too complex and risky to attempt for the money you can charge for them or require equipment they don't have (reballing a CPU often requires some equipment or serious skill to do without) have you compared your estimates to replacing the logic board all toghether? That is an easy swap for anyone willing to follow directions. Keep in mind the 2016 and 2017 A1706 have removable SSDs, so you only need the logic board. Look at the prices of buying a logic board vs. buying a whole computer with a cracked screen or bad keyboard as well.

hi, i love your videos, really helps a lot. maybe you would be so kind to assist me. i have a bricked gigabyte p17 v3 with the wrong bios and i am trying to reprogram it with a ch341a. now i followed your steps and advice as close as possible. my problem is that i cannot find a bios bin file for the chip (gd25b64csig) or i am just too ignorant. can you please assist me.
This one is tricky... You can download the BIOS from the gigabyte website as an exe, and then open it in 7zip. This contains "BOOT.img" which can also be opened in 7zip, which contains "OutImage.bin". That's the clean BIOS file.
If you flash that and the laptop starts, get it into windows, and then run the BIOS update again, to make sure the EC also gets updated.
@@Adamant_IT thanks a lot, worked splendidly. laptop up and running again.
so thankful that there are people outhere with proper advice and knowledge willing to share. have a great day.
Which screw driver is best for opening any MacBook and which brand screw driver do you use
I use Wera Kraftform as my main screwdrivers (T3,T5,T6,T8, PH00, PH0, PH1) and a Sequre SQ-ES126 Electric Screwdriver for zapping out stuff quickly, and this kit also has the P5 bit for MacBook chassis screws.
Hello Interwebs
0-5 ohms on a fuse is ok.
