The best DIY repair video of MacBook Air here in youtube. Good job!

One of the best videos , Thanks !!!

This video seems quite legit... Everything done on camera without even a single cut of video. Thanks man...

Thanks man. I ordered a battery thinking that was the issue. Turned out it was not. I followed your video very carefully, .. I cleaned a few spots on the back of the motherboard with just Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft bristle brush. A few spots that looked a little corroded. Without a doubt the fan kicked on to my surprise, and the light on the charging cable turned back on. This video saved me a lot man thank you. Very much appreciated!!

Thank you so much!!! I was able to fix my MacBook air following your instructions.

great work man... thank you!

Thank you, you helped me solve a problem with my client's laptop. Hugs from Brazil !

Not bad at all! Your presentation was great!

Followed step by step, it was just the same. I used Isopropil (just a little and allowed some dry time) to clean the board. Put it back, checked the voltage values, they got it all back. Thank u. Very well explained video.

thanks. I was able to fix my son's water-damaged macbook air following your instructions

Excellent video!! Thank you!

Good job, thank you for the information 👍

you were a big help. thank you soo much bud

I had this same MacBook that had coffee spilt on the keyboard on for repair today and in the end it just needed a new trackpad. Thanks for the video that gives a good step by step strip down!

Thanks for the great video! I was able to tear my MB Air down, find the corrosion on the flip side of the mother board, clean it up, and that did the trick! Back in business !

Good video, great repair. Nice job sir.

Thank you, I had an identical problem and was able to fix it in an hour. Thanks a bunch

Absolutely fascinating

Brilliant Tutorial Sir, I enjoyed every min of it, I don't know if anyone as mentioned but your mike goes off when the scope is on. Regards

thanks for your video. I just fixed my macbook air by following your video THANKS ALOT

This vid is really informative. Thanks.👍

Thanks mate, with your video I was able to rescue my macbook. Never expected this would work.

Thanks for this great tutorial. My MacBook air (A1466) has got liquid and it is not turning on. The fan however does start whenever I plug its power cable. Can I reasonbley assume that most part of the logic board is ok and focus on the SSD?

Thanks guys, good video, well done

Can you use "QD Electronic Cleaner" with these boards?

This was an excellent video

Wow! Followed this tutorial and it works! Thanks!

Top repair video on macbook air thank you

BEST VIDEO EVER!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Apart from the lighting and audio issues, great video.

Thanks for the video.... I messed up two big things: I put battery back in and didn't screw it down... then when I re-removed the bottom panel the battery stuck to it (the little plastic tab in the center of the bottom cover) and this pulled the battery connector off the logic board. I persevered w the water repair... also screwed up the speaker connection (didn't pull it "UP")... I found corrosion on the board once i got it out... cleaned it w denatured alcohol (It was only wet for 24 hours and I had it drying without case within 12 hours). Fan is on so power is getting to it but won't turn on... I am going to leave it for 24 hours and maybe clean again. I am also going to pull SSD and try in another MacBook Air (older one) -- this one is 2017 and not even paid for.... One thing to suggest: coach on the connectors a bit.... pull this one UP (I wish I'd read the comments that said watch out for speaker connector). Battery connector was just bad luck as I've not had that happen w MacBook Pro I kept running for years after a cup of tea was spilled on it. THANKS AGAIN. I can't do the testing/solder cleaning but still I gave it a go. I might try to have the board repaired by a shop... I guess we will see.

Great video ! Thanks for posting! Managed to fix my Mac after water damage , toothbrush is very efficient ;)

Great vid, I have the same issues. Keep the good work up. Thank you.

Great video brothers I have one need to replace keyboard got it to boot up disconnect battery not logic board boots up works but keyboard is not working only some keys work....

Thank you so much. I’m running into the same MBA with similar symptoms and was about to soak the logic board in an ultrasonic bath. But I’ll take a closer look around this bios chip.

Great video. You can work on my Apple products anytime!!!

Thanks for the video - repaired after water spill - full working order. Did not try a reflow, cleaned with acetone then noticed you used alcohol so I switched. I never imagined I could get this repaired until I found your video. folks be careful with the speaker connectors. they pull straight up and NOT out. Pulled the connector off the board. doh! soldered it back down? not clear the one speaker side works now. If I am indeed missing the sound from that speaker, I might try to hard wire/solder the wire to the pads. any better ideas / approaches are welcomed. Thank you thank you.

How do we know if Logic Board is still working when Mac won't turn on?

Great video. Thanks for taking the trouble. It's amazing how handy a toothbrush can be. Some of it beyone me, but anyway, thanks!

Hello, Great video. I have the same problem, miss some voltage like 3.3V..5V...like you ! do you change components ? Or just past flux and hot air ? Thank you in advance ! :)

Hi excellent video.but now i am getting a black screen with faint logo?any advice thanks

its a Swedish lay on the keyboard.. Thanks for sharing

Fantastic video

Hi. What buttons did you push to turn the macbook on without using the power button?

thank you man!!!!

Hi, thank you for this video. Is a 70% IPA okay to use on logic board? I spilt coffee and there is a clear coffee streak throughout the logic board. Also the battery doesn't charge

Thank you so much!!!!!❤️ tore down my laptop and was able to find the 2 spots of corrosion. You are a fucking hero I tried everything else on KZfaq and yours was the friggen key!

Hi, great video made some progress on fixing a macbook from a friend, but now still stuk as follows: when battery connector is in, no charging and see for a fraction the empty battery symbol on the screen (when powered in). When I disconnect the battery from the motherboard, I do get the startup sound, but then only a very dimmed apple logo in the center of the screen... can somebody help?

What was the first chip you tested? Mine has 8.60 in but goes to 14 out then drops. Think the chip is bad. Has lettering 4R7 440 Z32

that's just a reflow for those chips, right? No chip was replaced? Thanks

Thanks for the video. I fixed mine. I was too lazy to get 99% alcohol so used drops of crown royal , lol. After cleaning the corrosion, it did work fine

Thanks for sharing this video. After getting $570 repair quote from apple I saw your video and bought the tools for $7.99 from Amazon. now I fixed my son's Macbook Air and it is working better than before.

Hello, where is possible to find your "Repair request and liability waiver form" template? Thanks a lot! :)

Hello im planning on using your method to fix my macbook, thank you for the upload. Just to clarify, I would separate the parts carefully, look for corrosion and then clean it out with pure alcohol and a toothbrush and then let dry it for 48 hours before turning it back on? If it doesnt turn on after the cleaning do i need a new logic board? Also what is that blow thing you used in 16:13? Sorry for all the questions im pretty unfamilar with computers and dont want to mess this up. If all goes wrong and it still doesnt turn on would i be able to send it to you guys to fix it? Apple is charging me 700 dollars and i dont have that kind of money. How much would it cost for the fix?

Hello , i followed this video and my macbook air has now started working . But it works only when the charger is connected and also now the batttery is not getting detected and charger light remains orange all the time even if I disconnect the battery . Ideally if there is not battery connected the light should go green .. Please let me know what needs to be checked here , may be a video would be helpful

many thanks i fhave fixed main and its working again

Great video ! Question.. after you put it back together and tested the keyboard was the WiFi con disabled? Or enabled ? Do we need to do anything for the wifi card to be detected ?

My daughter recently spilt a bit of water on her MacBook Air. We left it a week to dry. The MacBook works fine but it won’t charge, no light appears on the charging plug? Any suggestions. When I opened up the MacBook one of the battery water sensors has a red dot on it, can these batteries be replaced

While observing your surgical strategy, it was, at times, difficult to see the key manipulation and at one point it went blurry. Was that done for a reason? (Rhetorical.) Also, where did you buy the non-marring tool?

At 7:38 I dont get 8.6 volts , Im getting 8.0 on the left side but when I check the right side its 7.2 volts.... Any suggestions on what to look for ??

Nice! If this doesn’t work what’s the next option apart from a logic board replacement ?

may i know what is the tools did you use to open it at the back from philipinnes thank you

At 2:43. If your fan worked after plugging in, what would be your next step? Or what issue would that indicate?

Nice video thanks

nice video bro

wHAT DID you do air heat gun to re solder the bios chip?

Interesting. Thanks

great video! just wanna ask my fan is not spinning when I connect the magsafe to the port, the magsafe color is amber

greate video, where did you learn all this stuff? is there a specific carrier for this stuff?

Great video! Very clear. In my case the adapter's light won't turn on. I haven't had the chance to try it on a different laptop. The laptop only turns on when I press the power button connect the power adapter and keep pressing the power button for 5 seconds. The battery won't hold charge. The laptop would immediately turn off if I disconnect the adapter even though it doesn't show any lights. Any thoughts?? Thanks again!

Really great video - . By chance, where did you get your pinout/expected values for the SMD? I'd be especially interested in the Voltage and Ω readings and which resistors are in the main power chain. Cheers!

Thanks you

Hi I have a MacBook model # 1534 when I turn it on it goes to a file envolope with a question mark on it can’t remove it help please

so if i need my mac repaired how do i send it to you guys

Great video! Where can I find what the voltages should be at certain points? Is there a schematic that I could get? Thank you!

I'm looking at my sons Macbook Air - identical to the one in your video. It seems there are two problems evident: 1) the SSD is not being recognosed at all - it's a 512GB Samsung blade 2) the battery is not recognised as being present I have restored the OS (Yosemite) to an external USB hard disk and the machine boots. Apple Diagnostics tells me there is a problem with the battery and a storage device. Great! Apple Service Diagnostics (ASD 3S156) says pretty much the same. It does not indicate mothernoard problems and as I say, it boots. I don't mind spending money to fix it, but don't want to spend it on the wrong stuff. Naturally I don;t have spares to play around with. It suffered light liquid damage. Anyway, your video gives me some things to try. Muchas Gracias :-)

thank you soo much

The SSD pins on these can also corrode or feel loose in the SATA connector.

My laptop is not turning on and adapter light also not lighting up.below i'm giving accidental history Once water was spilled on it but after 1-2 months later its fortunately turned on and after that i have used it for 6 months and so. then i shifted to a place which was quit humid. And after using it for 10-11 days there,one day it was not running smooth so i pressed restart button and its never turned on after that. I also diagnosed it and they told me that smc system have some problem Any help?

I found some corrosion above the right 1RO 50416 (the on you measure at 7:56) and cleaned it up, but it is a little bit rusty. Then I checked the bios chip's pins just like you did and they all worked fine. I plug the power cable back in like you do at 10:15 and after 2 seconds the fan makes a spin and stops again. Any thoughts?

Great tutorial, thanks! What to do do if the pentalobe screws located in the bottom case are damaged and don't move? That's my case :(

27:26 "reading the properly battery" 😂😂😂😂lol

Where are you located and how much you charge for a repair ?

What's the tools you use?

How about if I can turn on, but the touchpad and the keyboard was not recognized and are not functioning? How can I fix it? Thanks!

Where did you buy screwdriver?

My MacBook air same not powering on, how much will it charge me in replacement for a new logic board?

hi there, thank you for your video. which screws did you use for this particular one ? pentalobe 5 ? please help. thank you

Misses spilt a bit of champagne on hers, tried all the resets and PRAM but nothing worked just the fan. Took it apart and cleaned the logic board with rubbing alcohol using a toothbrush. Once all back together came on for ten mins then died again, I was gutted. However next day came on no problem and so far has been working fine. Massive thanks to you for this video as I would never have tried that.

thnk u ❤❤❤❤❤ done...

Sir my macbook air 2018 model is not turning on. Please suggest me some solution. I have already tried SMC reset and all other methods.

What is the frosting like substance you put on the logic board at 15:17? Thermal Compound?

Do you know how to go about ordering a new logic board? I need to replace mines but I want to order the correct part for my unit

Hi man, I have an 2015 early macbook pro, and I just put it to charge and the charger began to sparkle. My MBP turned off and won´t turn on again, do you think that It could be fixed?

So when I read my voltage on my MacBook Air early 2105 min 7:39 I get a reading of 9.2 volts is my case any different? Also reading for 11:11 pin 1-3 I get .6 volts any idea ?

Great Video...I removed the SSD Board as you did but when i plug the power cord the fan does turn on! What does that mean and what would be my next step?

This is so cool! I think I have almost the same - macbook air early 2014 - I have 8GB of ram and I went with the i7 BUT! It would be so nice if there was like, 4x4GB of rams that I could get at least 16GB of ram. Or haha change the processor or something since it's also soldered. Is it the Logic board / motherboard that stops this not supporting higher ram or? I think I read the processor or so. Would love to hear some opinions!

How to fix not powering on, I downloaded a video it may full storage and leaving it on when I check it is black screen and can’t turn it on.

My macbook air got water spilt on it, didnt turn on for a night and then turns on fine now but the keyboard shows weird letters and figures instead of normal letters... so i cant login.. any ideas please??

what keys were you hitting for reset
