and since js7 is code for that value

@@AliensInc. Yea this was an oversight when I was recording this. I thought the case-size of the cap was odd and I hadn't seen one elsewhere on the board, but as I said above, I think I wasn't looking hard enough in this case. As I said in the video though, I generally strive to replace parts, so this isn't a habit.

no worries mate, we're all human. Luv your repair vids

47uF is a standard value. I was saying "47" when you were saying "43."

Hello sir, where do you find the schematics for the MacBook pros

Size. Most similar caps I've seen are a lot taller. But my initial reading of 43uF threw me off and I didn't look hard enough to find an equivalent. As I said in the video though, I generally strive to replace parts, so this isn't a habit.

Disconnect the screen and try a HDMI adaptor. Should tell you if it's a display fault or a board issue.

@@Adamant_IT Thank you Adamant, I try 🤝

Nope, just also made by PLD. This is one of his prototype samples. The final product sits in a "completely functional, but not really economic to mass produce" conundrum.

It's a different broken screen I use as a heat-proof mat, not the actual laptop screen! 😅

to learn

A lot of capacitors are basically there for redundancy and protection. In this case its essentially a small power bank, to help with the initiall power draw of whatever you plug in to the usb port, while the rail catches up. And because they are connected in parallel rather then series, if one fail or in this case is missing the rest will stil function. A good example of this is the christmas tree lights. If the chain is connected in series, and one bulb fails, none will work. While if they are connected in parallel, a induvidual bulb can be missing while the rest still works. Now obviously in this case the failed capacitor shorted the rail to ground and thus will not function.

Well, he get paid for fixing laptops, the laptop is working? :)

He added a working laptop into the customer's hands, you dolt.

I try to wait and do things the long way first - I've got a video coming up where I talk a bit more about this, a lot of learners are skipping all the critical thought in diagnostics and randomly injecting without really understanding what they're looking at or doing, and I'm trying to get people to understand circuit analysis more _before_ they inject. As is the case with the upcoming video, injection often ends up being a solution, and analysis can lead you astray, but it's important to at least try. The experienced among us will automatically know when to go directly to injection, but that 'gut feeling' or past experience doesn't come across well in videos, hence why I keep seeing instances in repair discords where someone stabbed injection on CPU vcore and expected a capacitor somewhere else on the board to get hot. TL;DR - using a calculator is faster, and probably more accurate that doing the maths in your head, but you still need to _know_ that theory so you know when to use the calculator. That's what I'm trying to tell people.

@@Adamant_IT I understand your trying to teach newbies but I get frustrated watching this logical process because I've been a tech 40yrs & I do in & out quick 15-20 jobs a day & yes I've seen my fair share oop's Vcore injections which obviously end with a stuffed CPU or chipset from too much voltage with a shorted high side mosfet I also have seen lots of SIO/EC attempted replacements without programming, IMO people shouldn't play with things they think they a little bit about because it always costs them lots more than to just bring it to me to fix. BTW: I wish my VC99 still looked that good, mines had a very hard life.

@@preston963 Yea this channel is more about bridging the gap between the basics and the experts. The objective is to try and take methods the experts use and explain what leads up to them. If all I did was injection-stab and then replace the hot cap, with no other analysis, there's not much point in making the video IMHO.

@@Adamant_IT I totally agree it wouldn't make for much of a video, but your still young enough to have the spark & desire to do this were I tired old cranky & bitter so there's no way in hell I'd ever make a video, do I knowledge hell yeah do I want to share it yes but on a 1 on 1 basis where I can show a keen young electronics hobbyist who wants to learn & become a tech & I have done this with a few young bloke who are keen enough to approach my business & ask if they could watch & learn & some where naturals to electronics & got what I taught them & others well not so much, it's currently 10:54pm in OZ & I might be haveing a beer or 6, cheers Adam have a good arvo mate.

@@Adamant_IT I appreciate your videos and explanations.
