You are such a resource for repairs. I love watching Louis Rossman as well. You two are true technicians instead of just being able to swap cards out of a desktop and/or changing and upgrading hard drives or ram like some other so-called techs that claim 30 years of experience. I find you to be intriguing as you go through your thought process and as you narrow the problem possibilities. Keep up the great work!

Hi Graham, fantastic video well done, as someone who's been spoiled by a nice microscope I'm in awe at the work you do without one. I know it's easy to become reliant on the thermal camera when you have it but sometimes the IPA method of finding shorts is still useful if the thermal camera helped you narrow down the general area but lacks the resolution to pinpoint the faulty component exactly. Keep up the good work

Good work! Here's a suggestion, you can buy yourself an inexpensive ZnSe lens for lasers engravers I would suggest a F101.6 (focal length) and attache it to your FLIR to dramatically improve the image quality, it will allow you to see the actual components instead of a huge thermal blob you're seeing now.

@@diesalweasel Seems like pasting a link isn't possible, go to eBay and search for ZnSe f101.6 if you go a lower focal point you will be getting a macro lens which will mean you will need to come very very close to the board in order for the image to come into focus. I personally have 2 lenses but I mostly use the f101.6.

@@Adamant_IT You're most welcome :) if you do end up getting one, you don't need a fancy holder for it, you can hot glue it over your FLIR. Also, a point to notice with the FLIR is they have an internal battery that does eventually go bad, if you ever replace it get the Seek Thermal Compact Pro, it runs off of the internal phone battery and has much better image quality and I think they're around the same price.

Hi, I had problem with my Macbook pro A1502 which I believe the battery drained during sleep mode, its happened like twice before but it managed to turn on normally after battery charge or while on charge. It happened again yesterday and this time the charge indicator keeps red even charge for longer time and it wont turn on. I did try to reset SMC while charging, it did shown indicator turn green for few seconds after releasing the keys but it not running. I also did try to check the battery by removing the back cover and its not shown any fault in condition such as bulging. Please do help me before Im trying to change the battery since I cant think of something else. Theyre no warning about battery (before it happened) but I do believe the battery may also has an issue earlier since its getting so hot while on charging. Thanks in advance

It depends on your hot air station. If you're using a hot air station where the blower is in the handle, it probably won't be strong enough for this kind of work. I would recommend a Quick 857dw+ or better, which has an air pump in the base station and delivers much more airflow, allowing it to move big parts like mosfets and BGA chips.

I have some ideas involving a bit of cardboard with a hole in it and this lens glued into the hole, so I can easily add/remove the extra lense as required. In any case, I've ordered one and will report back in a few weeks when it arrives!

It's hard to tell, with the amount of corrosion that this board has seen, it _has_ to have been Liquid Damage related, but at the same time, there was no corrosion at those caps. Maybe there was a lot of ripple on PP3v42 caused by corrosion, which was placing additional stress on the caps... Not sure.
