How else could you find the fault?

@tasmedic 4 жыл бұрын

It's something which is discovered right at the beginning of the learning curve. Fuses are to protect everything between them and their supply voltage. If you don't look downstream and fix the fault, all you will do is blow another fuse. Or, worse, you'll blow more components downstream as well as the replacement fuse. I'm a bit surprised that black sheep didn't check that the short to earth had gone before he powered up. I guess he has seen this fault many times and knows that it's a single component fault.

I've seen some "KZfaq mechanics" use a thin speaker coil wire to jumper the fuze. lol While it may work it's not the safest or most elegant thing t do.

To repair electronic boards, one needs to understand basic electronic hardware, i.e., capacitors, semiconductor chip and the knowledge how to use and read the parameters shown by these equipments. Also, the knowledge of reading and interpreting schematic diagrams of the circuits boards is also necessary, Apart from that one needs to have an investigative drive to explore the possible issues that could have caused the problems int he board. This will be possible if you have a good amount of experience in doing these activities by trial and error.

@tasmedic 4 жыл бұрын

Among many other things you don't even mention, you'll need a good brain, and at LEAST 1000 hours experience in one corner of the market, say macbooks or TV's, to have any chance of making a living at it. Trial and error will simply take too long to be of any use in a commercial setting. Also, sharp eyes and a good sense of smell, often those 2 things will make everything else irrelevant by bringing you immediately to the failed component.

My 2015 Air died after less than 3 years of use. The Apple service center would charge eye watering prices for it. A non-apple center just told me it had a "dead board" and I had to buy a new board which would cost almost the same as a new one, and that was the only other repair center in my area that had the chops to repair it. I was so dejected, it's now gathering dust in a corner. FML.

Number 1. Thank you for sharing. I would like to know if you clean the board after you repair it to get all the flux, yukky hairs, bugs and all the other gross things I see on the boards you repair. I often think you should be waring some kind of contamination suit while you work on them. Way to yukky for me. I watched a friend of mine who owns a Motorola repair facility that works on California Highway Patrol gear actually using a cleaner and a small brush to clean the boards. Please keep in mind this was twenty years ago before surface mounted components which I figure were more robust and could take the beating. Thank you for your work. Jay

Hello, nice work and I really love your videos. I have a 2014 11” MacBook which I have been using since 2014 till date but a month back it ran out battery and it wouldn’t turn on so I tried everything including the disconnecting abs connecting the battery back until I did the smc reset which actually worked and it’s been working fine till 8 days back. The system was fully charged and I decided to shut it down because the airdrop was acting up. Ever since I shut it down it has refused to turn on or charge ( no light on MagSafe), tried different working chargers but it wouldn’t work on my system. Tried the smc reset, disconnecting the battery, touch pad flex and even removing the sscid and replacing back but nothing is happening. I am currently in Nigeria where there is no apple store and am scared to give it to some random repair guy cause they might cause more damage to the system. Can you pls help give some clues as far what could cause the system to breakdown like this. And what hardwares or chips fault could result go this. Thanks for your anticipated response Olivia

a2179 won't pass mac logo... progress meter fills up then hangs... google isn't proving much use, nor the apple care line. 2 reps said they couldn't pinpoint issue and suggested apple store 200km away so that's where i'm going looks like. any ideas?

Hey, Louis (or any fellow Louis viewers watching his videos). Do you have any suggestions for novice beginner tutorials on how to diagnose and repair electronics like this? I find this really interesting and want to learn more, but I find that videos like this one go over my head because I know so little. I have a ton of free time to sit and watch KZfaq videos during my nightshift job, but I don't know where to start.

See ya guys! I'm off to Shenzhen for some INTERSIL ISL9240 Chips! I hope the Huaqiangbei Black Market has some nice people? If I don't make it back...... Just know I died fighting for the right to repair! For the Innovation Economy! For the security of Apple devices! Right?........

Nice moment of silence. As a govt employee I will petition my rep for "Schematic Provider Day" so I can have yet another day off.

Water spilled on my macbook and when I sent it to repair it, I was told that the battery has a problem and I wont be able to use it without it being plugged in. Now it wont fully boot up and now I'm hearing that its a logic board problem. Can it be fixed or am I going to need to purchase another laptop.

@danielszulc9574 3 жыл бұрын

Hey I replaced motherboard on my air and cannot instal Catalina, should I install mojave and then catalina? I suspect old firmware on new logic board since I had to change date from 2015 to 2021 using terminal, not sure how to upgrade firmware... or is it the real reason ;p
