The last owner must have taken “destroy that like button” too seriously

I find insane enjoyment watching this, it’s just fun to watch someone fix something and make it like it was never broken.. it’s just satisfying :P

Me: How could anyone break a laptop that bad? JerryRigEverything: 🤷‍♂️

Looks like someone Frankensteined the hell out of the MacBook

No one: Every private school kid:

“This MacBook is far from perfect”, he just resurrected the dead MacBook 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey, Hugh! A friend linked me this video, after seeing that Mac, and said it looked like my old MacBook, and sure enough it is! I recycled that Mac back in 2017, the Mac actually fell out of my car on the freeway, and I found it after an hour of searching for it... Insane video you have there, keep up the good work!

The idea: "I bet that guy was playing some game and he rage quit so hard, he started torturing his MacBook.." :/

I love how hard you try to make these as perfect and close to genuine as possible, even putting in the little tiny rubber pieces where they need to go without thinking “eh not worth it” love your videos man 😄😁🥳

When I watch huge Jeffery's I get a HUGE amount of enjoyment!

Rubbing alcohol is Hugh Jeffrey’s best friend when repairing computers lol

Story time: I was driving down the highway and changing lanes. As I accelerated to around 60 everything was fine. In a few seconds my iPad decided to fly up from the bonnet of the car as I forgot it was placed there. As it carried in the wind it hit the windshield of the car continuing to fly off the car. You can imagine my face... Well let’s just say it was a bit more demolished than this MacBook. So yes i have sadly seen today it’s possible to demolish a apple device more than this one and a video. Just run over with about 30 cars going 70 as soon it flys 20 feet in the air.

awesome job hugh! im so amazed that thanks to you i put my head down for two days, and made a macbook restoration and i just posted it 10 minutes ago!! all thanks to you :D keep it up, forever will be a fan

I love your videos, they're entertaining in their own way and with your clean voice it's a pleasure to see them fixed! Good job, Hugh!

I always look for your new videos on KZfaq almost each time I am on KZfaq, it's like I am becoming more addicted to your channel here. It is another good repairs done here. Thanks showcasing your expertise in repairing this. I am having same type of Mac, but still looks like it is coming out from the Box newly, my probowith it are - 1• The screen at the uppers there is a bit of discolouration. Will send you the photos if I could get you how to send it. 2• The battery is far gone, it needs to be changed. 3• I need a higher gigs of a Solid State Drive Memory. Apart from this, you will think this wonderful Mac is just been opened from the Box. Many Thanks Jeff.

I hope we can do the same thing for the new Apple Silicon MacBooks. Oh wait, Apple locked down those things and they'll probably break if you look at them the wrong way.

Dang that macbook was shrek mode destroyed

I simply love your videos! They are so satisfying to watch! Keep on with that excellent work!

Sooner or later when iFixit does videos on the new macbooks: "unable to verify if this macbook contains a genuine apple battery" "unable to verify if this macbook contains a genuine apple display"

Your videos are a form of therapy for me. I really enjoyed watching them.

Scratches at a level 6.... With...... Deeper grooves at a level 7.......

All of your videos are extremely satisfying to watch, thank you for such a good job!!

I can’t imagine how it gone like this, but I think it’s more impressive how it still works after all that damage. You did a great job restoring it, it’s a powerful and useful machine again

I love how apple talks about how smalller boxes and no headphones helps the environment. But they make people throw away their unfixable laptops

Hugh: Can’t think of what happened Me: have you heard of Dankpods and the 1Grit?

I really like the way how you speak, reacting and making me following your video for 2 years !

Great video as always! I'm literally hooked on these repairs, so much so that is has inspired me to tinker with phones, also in the hopes of reducing e-waste, especially in my country that has basically no laws tackling this particular issue. That being said does anyone have any online resources to get started on some basics?

How could a MacBook get this damaged? TechRax: “is that a challenge?”

I always look forward to Hugh's videos on Saturday

Great job Hugh, it’s so satisfying to see you bring laptops back to life 👌

I love your videos. Also your voice is like so soothing 😂 keep up the awesome work!

Me in germany: Mom: to sleep it's already late Me: hell naaaahhhhhhhhhh at 0:00 hugh jeffreys uploads :)

Hugh: Laptops can't get that bad! Me: Plainrock124, or JRE did that.

You really are very talented and I love that you are restoring tech that would otherwise end up in landfill, thus doing your bit for the environment. I wish I had the talent and patience to be able to do this. I do tend to sell on my used tech though, instead of throwing it away. Even if it was broken, I would consider selling it or giving it away for use on repairs to people such as yourself. Thank you for sharing your videos. They are very informative and entertaining.

This was so satisfying to watch amazing job man thumbs up

0:48 Bored Smashing (PlainRock124)

I learn nothing from viewing these videos and yet I return every time

Amazing Hugh. Love your videos.

Beautiful job. Thank you for showing us.

“Not only is this hard for 3rd party repairs but for Apple as well.” - Hugh Jeffreys

It’s never just alcohol for Hugh... it’s gotta be isopropyl Alcohol 😁 good work bro keep it up

Excelent work, Hugh!

Very cool to see you doing board level component replacements in this restoration.

JerryRigsEverythang: scratches at level 10 with deeper groves at a level 3000

Hugh did it!

Love these videos, are so relaxing.

Love your thoroughness

Why are even the destroyed MacBook so expensive?!

5:20 How to get rich: get yourself a bunch of irreparable water damaged Macbooks and harvest the screen (which normally are fine, as the mainboard is the part, that'll most likely be irreparable) Sell the screens for the half of a new device- get rich...

its satisfying to watch, halfway thruout the video i started wondering if the replacement cost is worth anymore! cheers

its soo good to see people restoring these man just feels good

I think if my laptop ever breaks I’m sending it straight to you. Good job man! 👍

the owner must be plainrock :)

Hugh is such a nice guy repairing destroyed products

Really good video Jeff, i really like your videos and please do more macbook videos. And like you said the older 2015 to 2013 have a huge demand on the used market. I can sell the 2015 models way quicker than the newer ones from 2016-2018 (2019 with new keyboards are easier to sell guess why haha). I would only recommend to clean that charging port and the other ports, i think you probably done that but since you didn´t showed im just saying Thanks for saving this macbook!

It was probably shipped with UPS

0:46 You know channels like TechRax exist.

This video uploaded on my birthday. Thank you, Hugh!

There is something so satisfactory about resurrecting a badly destroyed device nearly back to its former self. Saving it from the wasteland purgatory and giving it another chance at life. BTW, thanks. As the original owner of my Early 2015 MBP, I am looking forward to the SSD and battery replacements. As for your MBP, I reckon that it may have survived an Avengers movie.

When I’am watching your vids I feel like I’em getting smart

You should get a job at apple to learn how they repair their products, go undercover.....

Nice one man love your content!!

Liked your repair videos....keep it up Hugh! Gadgets should be repairable to reduce wastes..

Look like the old user used same as a body shield, probably against his wife

They must have been selling the laptop parts and then finally sold the laptop.

Always watch your videos, so satisfying to see before and after. Would be helpful to know how much does it cost you to restore them.

Good work. I was taught to spread the thermal paste around to provide full contact between the solid state device and the heat sink. This as opposed to the large dot method you showed here. Something to consider for your next one. At any rate..well done sir.

k

Great video as always!

I would never get Into restoring laptops but for some reason I am hooked into watching these videos

It always amazes me how some people treat their MacBook's. Back in 2011 me and two of my friends all went to the Apple Store and each bought 13" MacBook Pro's for University. So, all three MacBook Pro's were identical & bought at the exact same time. I always keep my Apple stuff in as close to mint condition as possible (even being really OCD about the packaging including all the little pieces of plastic/paper covering the power brick and plug. I also clean my MacBook Pro's religiously), my friend took good care of her MacBook Pro too... The other friend however thrashed that poor thing to an inch of it's life. He didn't use a carrying case/sleeve and just threw it in his bag. Less than ONE MONTH after getting an immaculate, brand new MacBook Pro the thing was covered in scratches, dings and dents and was FILTHY. I've never seen such damage and dirt/mess caused in such a small amount of time (You could almost write your name on the case). If you compared mine and my other friends MBP to his; his MBP looked like it was 10 years old and had served in an active war-zone. That's how bad the MBP had gotten after ONE MONTH. The really crazy thing was that he was EXTREMELY tight with money, more-so than anyone I've ever met. It was such a contradiction to see someone that tight with money who couldn't be bothered to look after a £1000, brand new MacBook Pro.

Nice repair work - that is so much better than the old wreck it once was, and also saves it from the e-waste pile :) I'm surprised that someone hacked out part of the battery! Those battery cells (which are still there) can be re-purposed in electronic projects, if you get in contact with people who are into electronic engineering and the like. I routinely buy job lots of laptop batteries on the cheap in order to salvage Li-Ion cells for projects, and the Macbook ones generally have more capacity remaing compared to Windows laptops (Windows only reports the battery as dead when its capacity reaches 40%!). Shame that this was the first of the laptops to feature soldered RAM, proprietory parts (such as the SSD) and no disk drive... IMO the Unibody 2012 was the best one; shame it won't take Mac OS 11 Big Sur (will only got to 10.15 Catalina).

Hello Hugh, i really like your videos especially with mac books, i buy a macbook pro 2011 and i tried to restore it when it arrived, good bless from Czech Republic

thse are my new favorite videos ive been watching

I am really into tech and I love your videos :)

I love your videos please upload more frequently

Such a nice video! It encourages me to try and fix some used lap tops too, salvaging pieces seem so cool and this would help me get a working computer for my online classes lol

@hugh jeffreys Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I don't know what it is about these kinds of videos, but I get all zen when I watch them. Keep on fixing!

Amazing work!

That iFixit kit is awesome!

More please!! love your vid!

I miss your old videos like the red iPhone case swap. Keep it up!

How do you not have more that a million subs, you make great high quality content.

4:15 my XPS from 2018 still has a battery that’s screwed in. It even has a power switch on the board similar to a desktop power supply

Hey Hugh, great video as usual. What about that collab with your friend, where you were repairing an old vehicle? You never mentioned again the channel/the project.

Great video! Keep it up!

this is so much fun watching someone else do the same things I do for a living, although your workspace is a helluva lot cleaner than mine :D

Amazing. Great work.

I just love ❤️ watching your videos even if I don’t repair anything 👍🏼

I hope your having a good day hugh

Still rocking my 2011 MBP. Swapped out the battery, upgraded RAM and switched to SSD. Works like a dream, plus I don't need to spend money on annoying adapters thanks to its plethora of ports!

Nice bro...awesome repairs..

I think the early user or something else has managed to remove the SSD and speakers and battery to use in a different laptop or device. It’s really great that you can fix literally anything. People should gave their old device to you as your are doing kind of a service towards the environment. Great video man.

Great work, but very expansive :) Thank you for that video.

Love these videos

Awesome as always

Ur vids are very good, keep the hard word on! Hi from Colombia

Great work! What did you use to clean off the new screen?

Thank you for this video - Not often you see anyone work on one of those. I have exactly same laptop from 2013 early, and I can't make myself try to swap battery, as it's glued there so damn hard. Also those used screens are extremely expensive, though Apple sell em to authorized services, 500 usd a piece new. I wanted to swap mine due to grey uniformity defect - still a bit too much.

Great video‼️
