putin is a war criminal

When someone’s home is set on fire by one of these ‘fuses’ and the insurance company of the owner knocks on the door he will regret this. I don’t get the gain of this practice. By some real fuses with usual ratings and you don’t have to hassle with these dodgy wires anymore. Even doesn’t save him some time. I don’t get it. peace

That's why Sorin is the expert, and you are not.

the laptop will not burn up your house , what are you talking about ? there's so many protections on the board, also the wire fuse will burn and cut off the power . I advice you to stop watching because you know nothing about electroincs @@Druidus98

@@Druidus98 I couldn't agree with you more. I know Apple over-engineer the board (I'm an Apple board level technician) but the main power rail has a fuse for a reason and those caps are always failing. Just prey that nothing happens to the owner in the future. All for the sake of changing the fuse which cost pennies!!!

​@@jimdavis6833 I agree he is an expert in his field, but that is very bad what he has done. Would you remove your house fuse and put a wire in it's place???? I wouldn't!!!!

Sorin's old videos show that, he just feels the warm/hot areas using his hands and uses zippo petrol on the spot to verify the shorted cap

I saw another repair guy use a q tip dipped in 99% alcohol. He then just dabs the capacitors and checks at which spot the alcohol evaporates faster.

I have used a can of Freeze prior to thermal imaging

Feel the heat with your soul !!! but all jokes aside you can sprinkle a little flux and watch the component you think is shorted if it does heat up it should melt the flux off & fast. but its better to get a cheap thermal cam good ones are GOAT but cheap ones should get you one MB fixed but all in all i recommend bringing it to pros they can and will do it much better then you could trust me . GL :D

If the capacitor is across the power rail and is just used to get rid of noise or ripple then there will be many others doing the same job. The capacitors are rated for the power rail they are on and are effectively in parallel with each other on that rail so they won't be stressed if one is removed, you'll just have slightly less capacitance for noise or ripple removal - it most likely won't make a difference. There is usually enough tolerance in the design. I know Sorin jokes but one less capacitor really can be one less capacitor to fail in most cases. And when you're up against time and cost with low margins - if you can take a short cut and still have an effective and reliable repair - that's what you go for.

that's exactly right 😆

The fuse is also a wire just think about it

That just depends on the resistance of the shorted cap. Best is low rsistance but not 0.0 ohms, then it wil get proper hot at under 1v. If it hat 2 or 3 ohms, the voltage must have been 1-3v to get it hot enough

Cause if its a shorted mosfet before the cpu, then with higher volt your chance is to burn the cpu is higher. Safe tu use 1v max. With thermal camera even one degree different is very well seen

Thanks for the reply@@macwake.

Thanks for the reply@@SkyDown15. I see most similar repair videos, for Android phones example, voltage injection goes up to 4.2V. For a laptop 1V should be the safest maximum? Also is it a personal preference to use resistance mode to diagnose a shorted cap rather than diode mode or just continuity to measure a fuse?

@@user-qf5fs8un3g how did you fix it? I am using MacBook M2 pro and having a similar problem. I was working when the laptop when off, it was not even on charge.

I dont use them either to be honest if i have the time sure ill change them but in Dubai in a successful shop trust me i dont have the "time" or "luxury" to look for "the right" spare part as you call it and you as the customer get your laptop back in good working condition with waranty on repair so whats the issue here ? your sad because you think the next time they charge you a high price for MB repair your not getting the "right parts" for your buck ? well here's the thing ignorance is bliss if you don't like it sure go ahead and learn to do it yourself find the issue find the right parts order them pay for delivery wait 2-3 weeks (all of this in a great time were you find the right part from china or Ebay) and ....... then you can hope the right part works. Buddy just be happy you got your laptop back in 1-2 days instead of a month.

No, that's just how my face is. *stares judgmentally*

I didn't get it, they called him a dentist for what? Because he removes capacitors like rotten teeth?

@@pgsss6354 Exactly.

It is a very fine wire, I suspect it would blow open at maybe 3-5A so still offers some protection.

@@TonyHamlyn Rubbish... You cannot use cooper wire as a fuse since it's meting point of Cu is higher and resistance is very low and current can flow through it without melting it and without breaking the circuit. I would NEVER advise using a wire instead of a fuse. It's been placed there for a reason.
