I think that was the most I've learned in just 20 mins my entire life.

7 dislikes comes from Apple tech support 🤣

Quite possibly the most well explained, easily understood repair video I have ever seen! Subscribed!

I love when you do Macs because all of my other Mac repair input comes from Louis Rossmann (awesome source, not complaining at all) and it's so nice to hear alternative descriptions, plans of attack and level of detail from another skilled repair outlet. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Congrats on the new shop, Graham!

Tantalum capacitors are prone to short circuit faults caused by age and driving them with too much ripple too close to their voltage spec. I would suggest fitting new ones every time. The heat of fitting the 2nd hand replacement just pushes it closer to the end of it's life as well. Nice repair though......

My head hurts how much you know about these circuits. And how far you go! True Professional.

"half a gnome" 😉 Nice to see you have a new shop Graham. Great channel. Learned a lot watching you work 👍

Great Video. I am dealing with a dead Mac Pro myself. On my way to the hardware store to get the right tools. Thanks buddy!

i was into board repair and it is so good to watch you do these repairs cant wait for the next one oh by the way when you checked that board you did not have anything but your hands that we could see is there a true way of finding out exactly .

Thanks. The video is clear and helpful for a beginner.

That's a nice troubleshooting step by step procedure you conducted out loud there. It's very clear and helpful. I would have used the spray method to find overheating component in the absence of IR cam though. Denature alcohol dry fast and clean but dries super fast in the slight presence of heat.

Thanks again for a great informative and entertaining video. I really look up to you my man

I really like the way you explain things. Very detailed and informative.

I love these air boards, they look so clean and so easy to work with, too bad theres very few macbooks where I live here in brazil, I'm sick of fixing acer keyboards XD

I've never seen such beautiful hands on a guy before

compare to other channel, your explanation is crystal clear

Mr Rossmann would be proud

you're my go to guy for reviews on equipment we could actually afford so i await that thermal cam review lol....from what ive seen the ones that attach to your phone are the most affordable

simple, easy to the point and humble. Thanks keep up the great work.

Everytime I watch one of your videos I feel a pro because you explain things so clearly that I understand everything. Thanks 😊😊😊🤩🤩🤩

This is the work of a genius.

Thermal camera Man, that's essential now a days

Fixed one like that one a few minutes ago. It had a short on a RAM capacitor on the far left when the board is upsidedown. Actually I didn't inject voltage, the capacitor had brunt the plastic under the keyboard, and I just pulled it out. Didn't replace it though ;)

Great job!! This helped a lot!

hi, i recommend you always remove the headsink from the cpu , you never know its that its damaged. good video sr

Appreciate your videos! I got a MacBook coming my way with the same issue, hoping it’s this easy.

Nice! Gotta love these easy ones.

Awesome thanks for the upload!! literally spent half the day jacking with this fancy tub setup and this helped calm my nerves lol 😂

You are the best adam!!! The master!!!

Congrats on the new shop Graham. I do hope we get a Captain Cook at some stage. I was stunned at how small your previous one was because the opening shot of the video made it look a way site bigger than it actually was. I assume that was due to camera lens distortion. I wish you all the best and that everything turns up roses. 👍

@3:05 “Let’s see if we have a short to ground.... *DMM reads half an ohm* Ah.” 😂

Cheers dude! I found exactly the same cap blown

A high reading on a capacitor read from a DMM can also mean leakage. Remember DMM's measure capacitance using charge timing. You can increase charge timing by adding leakage.

my macbook pro 13" late 2013 took a big gulp of hot tea and shut itself off instantly, i opened it up and dried off the logic board as much as possible, but it took a week to get a screwdriver set to get the logic board out and flipped around. i opened it last night to see two small spots of corrosion, cleaned them up with 99% alcohol and still nothing works. power supply shows a light to indicate the batteries still take power. i thought maybe the keyboard was dead or the ribbon cable got damaged, so i tried jumping it with the direct power supply/disconnected battery, as well as with the power pins on the board, nothing works. the guy near me wants me to pay nearly the same amount as a brand new macbook pro to look at it and MAYBE fix it, PLUS whatever parts it needs. this made me realize there's a lot more to working with logic boards than just the base parts, could be literally anything or everything that needs fixing.

This guy isn’t an expert... He’s a god! Good work man keep it up! Any tips on re-soldering an AM4 socket? Got a replacement one for my B550 board and have been practicing on the old one!

You are not wrong that if a capacitor is measuring a tad over, it's no big deal. I believe it is important to stress the point, that it's ok if it's over as long as it is inside of the given tolerance. This is important because a leaking capacitor will show "over" capacity, which is to say, it's going to fail soon. Best to replace with a new one IMO. Take this for what it is worth, or with a grain of salt.

very smart and logical diagnosing process , thank you for such rich videos .

Do you think you could do a video on your multimeter? I was planning on getting that same Aneng and you going through how to use it for these sort of repairs would be really cool

I love your laptop repair videos.If possible you can do a video about reading schematics, board view or a laptop repair beginner series. Thank you

you are a wizard man…

congrats on the move! cheers to the future!

Keep up the good content my dude

Very nice Brother... U have good knowledge and experience...I have lot of learn from your videos...keep doing... God blessed you.... thanks 👍

scissors, clipper, lawnmover, anything... haircut, now! :D

Excellent tutorial. Thanks Adam!

Yep thats the one that goes bad ! Its connected to the ppbusg3h you hotwired

New shop, nice one Graham

congrats on the new store

I have the same model and voltages are good, looks in great condition, it just does not power on... did all those "resets" that people do in thousands of videos and nothing, disconnected the battery and reconnected it: nothing. Yesterday I took it apart completely, reassembled and THEN it had power, booted, worked fine, restarted and turned back off and on several times. I went to sleep, woke up and it does not power on again..... just what in the hell is going on with these macs.

Killer gnomes of resistance!

good and undestanding explanation. Good job i really like learning.

Thank you for making the video for me , my master

Humble guy nice and informative video to boost knowledge

excellent work.

Good job. Thanks for sharing.

while you save up for a thermal camera, a simple can of "freezing" spray will do just fine to find the short.

You can use you phone for a thermal cam until you get one. I’ve been using my phone until I can get one myself.

That was most excellent!

ARR thermal camera

Good job man!!! Love this video

that's not really a logic board but a ouija board in disguise

I have a similar type of problem with a Acer e1572 which started up before, even with a blinking Amber LED lite and after replacement of Memory RAM and new ac charger. I couldn't reset to factory settings from the main screen. So I decided to disassemble it to reset the CMOS battery. Unfortunately this model doesn't have a CMOS battery. After reassembling it, it will not start up. Thinking it was the Battery Pack, I bought a new one. The LED is blue indicating fully charged, no fan sound nothing. Still it will not turn on? HELP!

New shop? The old one seemed pretty cozy. How is the new one then? Bigger? Cheaper? or what? Maybe do a shop tour once settled in?

I need to send my computer to you asap

I NEED TO DO THIS TO A 2011 MACBOOK PRO A1286....I THINK I HEAT THE COSMOS INSTEAD OF THE GPU ..... NOW THE MACHINE WON'T START UP. IS DED, BUT CHARCHER CABLE SHOWS GREEN LED.

Maybe you could do a video on some of the tools you use in your day-to-day work?

Well done :-D, at least there is nothing else to repair on it. The bending could have caused other problems, but it didn't :-D Nice little multimeter, i looked at them a few years back and wondered why some people poo pooed them. Looked fine to me.

Thank you for your teaching, You are great, Adamant IT!! Do you run any courses on repair and maintenance ? or have you thought about it? Cheers.

ATOM ROCK !!!!!

Same issue with our macbook air.

very good bro.

Thank you.

Clear sound easy to understand (specially for non english ppl)....can i ask which camera and mic you are using for recording? Can you explain how to test mosfets in motherboards..they are really confusing 😔😔😔

I just do not understand where and when to inject 1V and when to inject 5V or more i.e. could you explain to me plz :)

very good

Pretty common 😂 just watch another video about the same thing but i like yours

Hello, I have a 2015 MacBook Air, and it doesn't turn on According to you, I determined by the training video that my fuse had burned out and, possibly, the capacitor Could you please tell me how much such a reporter costs you?

very intresting video,thanks

Great video

How would we go about checking and testing for Pp3v42 if the light did not work on the cable ??

Nice shop

macbook pro A1707 not turning on

I have a problem in my macbook air 13 it won’t on the power button even if I replace a new battey what should i do? Can you please help me sir?

Good job

NEW SHOP!!!!!....Nice..:)

VOLTAGE INJECTION TIP: When injecting voltage to a circuit board to identify a short be careful when feeling for the hot spot because it will burn your penis.

Great perform. Support Man. Ciao

amazing

can you repair mine also i have 2015 mac air and also one more no backlight let me know thanks!

My Macbook can't turn on...just light on right side of unibody

Hi I'm Vincent. I like to say this video give me hope that I will have my lap top working again. where Can I find someone to fix my lap top in South Africa KZN Durban.

Hi, my Macbook Air does not turn on after Water damage. Can you fix it? Can I get some information how to send to you and estimate? Thank you.

How can you check if the actual Keyboard Power Button is working? Is there a way to bypass the keybaord and power up?

Hey man new to the channel great vid however have a macbook air no short circuit on either rail no power wathsoever any help plz

Where’s the tour video?

when my M1 mac book mair SSD dies i really hope you can fix it

I am working on a a1466 where the macbook air will turn on once I unplug and re-plug the battery cable on the logic board. The charger works correctly going from orange to green. When I had the macbook air powered up, I could restart it several times without a problem. However, if I shut it down then it would not turn back on. It definitely had a minor spill (chocolate milk) that has been thoroughly cleaned out and the logic board looks prefect. The main power board (where the charger plugs into) had some rainbowing on sveral terminals which I scraped to clean it up a bit. I am almost done putting it back together and was hoping for any advice or guidance? Do you know what could be wrong? Cheers.

nice job 👍

Hello interwebs and welcome to let's fix laptops XD
