Friday Night - long hot week, but we've got some fixing to do. Macbook Air A1466 to start

Oh crikey Oh those actually live life hello Steve and Eric and Rick Thunder Mac huh I better get my game face on yeah something like that just let me add just a few more things here make sure I'm up and running sip the microscope camera it's been good yeah okay that's good so we get back to the desktop dude all right a real-life but the keyboard down on the ground because now we should be good hey Steven barrages here to in Gustavo see notifications are working shocker yeah a bit quicker than I thought they would let's see before I forget first thing I need to say is to have whoever it was there must mean listening to me complaining about my pentalobe that I got from we huh much for these weak little annoying chaps today I get in the mail a package from digi-key and someone has sent me someone's with actual the pic Oh touch much nicer assembly the shafts are still an arrow on the end therefore my sort of finger preferences but definitely overall this is far more what I would expect for the price and hilariously these are only around about 11 or 12 dollars each anyway I they sent me four of them so I've got to spare which I will somehow work out how to give away to anyone else here in Australia hmm so if you need a pentalobe size four which is the one we use for opening MacBooks I've got two here for giveaway it'll only be in Australia because international postage is stupid expensive just wouldn't make sense video a little laggy define laggy I'm only running at 30% do I pay enough stock homes Oscars here maybe you mean the frame rates a bit laggy that can be understandable now what else I got to do there's something I need to adjust the camera sorry autofocus is on an hour off off update it's fine here a Travis and Rico and I'm pretty sure I said I'm newbies here okay so we're gonna start out just had this MacBook dropped off you make you get a 1466 which of course you will know is one of my favorites this one's got a bit of a history behind it it's being water damaged in the past back in 2017 or something like that suppose we went to an Apple store I think to get fixed or some Apple person to get fixed and they got it to working in or something and then is now started misbehaves looks like interlacing on the screen the colors were all bit funny but I'm thinking it might actually be a physical defect because on the edge this here there's a bit of a crimp and that is where the cable goes in for the screen so I have a feeling we've got a dud screen but let's open it up have a look anyway hey Wyatt do you have a scope on your shelf if so did you drool through not sure which me I don't have a scope on my shelf now oh you mean the micros Oh microscope as opposed to an oscilloscope yeah I have actually bolted the top half assembly of the aim scope to a wooden board on the top here oh we've got a synchronization issue okay hang on there okay we'll do the sync change okay so that's bad sync stop streaming all right here we go let's see if we're back you know everyone's gonna disappear better it so it looks like we're back to the old problem that we had before let's see how it goes as the stream goes on might drift out let's go to the overhead yeah just overhead again I've been building around with iPhones too much and as a consequence the desktop view doesn't always match yes it's even that screw missing screws two screws missing let's try this new pentalobe driver shall we it certainly feels a lot better than the other ones that I've been complaining about so if you are the person who was so kind to send these to me can you please let me know who you are in email perhaps my email address is on my website so yeah I was not expecting it I got the parcel today and I was like hey I haven't ordered anything from digi-key in a while what's this and I was racking my brains and I was thinking maybe I had a backed order of backlight drivers or something because I've been waiting on them so Wade my double-o - screwdriver you I'm not the double O - I'm still waiting on my behalf okay yeah I can see damage down in this leg I can see scratchy scratch is here someone's definitely being in here let's have a look if I faint like Wade maybe even that sent me all the Penta live drivers what the hell man yeah that's um yeah that's been missed with okay that's really not a good area to be missing with like that crikey it's a double over 165 would by the way for all those playing at home stop I feel like I'm Dave James there he uses that terminology doesn't it that's 34 37 oh you - 23 so I just want to confirm something my goodness I need to get better organization for my boards nope 34 37 one six five the map you're talking about the black metal the fiberglass silicon 1 yeah I don't know what they've been there must mean corrosion there or something and they've just been scratching around they're completely oddly butchered that cap there so that's you know there's obviously been liquid damage there and there's been liquid damage while it's been on around here one of the screens buggered clean as a whistle nothing ever the ordinary looks like someone's been scratching around I have to clean up that if nothing else I want to do something of what you are doing is a hobby in the future any suggestions when stabbing see if you want to get started a bit like how Lewis says the best way to get stabbed is just to get started go find yourself a computer or find someone who why did that not switch back dude it's just a bit slow tonight that's all find yourself something you want but maybe you try find a a 1278 or something like that because they're cheap enough anyway and you know try to fix it and you'll know down and counter several issues here and there but at least through the process you should pick up the skills or at least part of the skills that you want it's a bit like trying to eat I hate to use this term but it's a bit like trying to eat an elephant and basically you just have to pick one piece and start you get through one mouthful at a time we ain't using the team elephant simply because of the size the end caps on that were broken off so this is definitely taken a bit of a strike is it meant to be no facecam that was from another thank you that was from another job I was doing already mop my face on this shop okay I'm feeling pretty tired at the moment the damn kids are being waking me up at stupid hours about 5:00 in the morning yell at them but don't stop now Milo will come in and Affeldt is usually the first one to wake up and you just hop in front of sleep and unfortunately it's almost like he doesn't understand English he just keeps coming you might go out of the room for five minutes come back try again see if you're awake yet yeah tried a few different methods of consoling his concerns see they want to go outside to the greater area they already have access to the courtyard which is probably very good yeah fifty to seventy square meters of area so yeah it's not a small zone but because they have access to it all the time it kind of loses the appeal it's not exciting enough it's like well we get access to it all the time so what a week here I should take out the driver Drive rather once again I don't have sufficient lighting in this room so I'm suffering and now repeat it many times so once Milo gets started then like II usually quickly wakes up Lukie is between brothers same same brute and then they will probably have a wrestling match racing back and forth through the house running under the bed banging into everything under there and knocking their heads on everything to the point where you wanna think I'm knock their brains out and then they'll get back to yelling in all yeah so then usually arena B at 6:00 I've got no choice I've just got to get up and put on put everything on and what I've been trying to do is force them to wait for me to get my cup of coffee first okay what am I missing here reluctant to come out and there's no compelling route that was naughty I could have done damage here I was trying to pull out unfortunately this is just a carrier and then the seam is in there sup all right do we have any marks on here can't see any Croatian marks there as a fix-it pro perhaps look out for max that haven't been tampered with too bad let's give you a chance to repair their it's that is one of the downsides of going with things like a Mac is that the likelihood of it being tampered with prior is extremely high mostly because for a lot of people the whole macbook repair industry seems like a bit of a gold mine a very untapped gold mine that in reality it's yeah it's got a lot of people in it hey I go hey weren't see 1466 when I have I need to change the trackpad and keyboard water damage no water ingress sticker activate keyboard and touchpad a debt was dripping from the battery but noted Marcus yep then happens a gas man I do often like to tell a story about my 15:02 which was drenched in red wine a good solid glass full glass of red wine and it's sat for probably very year and a half I think before it got to me and not a single one of the red markers well water Marcus was triggered but there was the wine goo all around so most definitely was liquid damage but the if you went by the liquid markers and you'd say oh no it's all good kind of amusing that you could have me you could take that into Apple and there we go oh yeah that's fine look at my damage markers aren't triggered it's all good bro okay so backlight lines have been blown their living karoli out but I don't think they're being damaged let's get on the other side of that ship it's like they've washed it or that scrubbed it you can see what the faint lines here so it looks like it's been scrubbed I should ask them how much they paid to have this supposedly fixed because it would seem all they've done is just yeah around here too you can see there's scratch marks down there they've been scratching away or whatever was corroded yeah that's not my doing was that a MUX chip I think I don't normally deal with this one jails never bring up the schematic move you oh I go have a good have a good weekend or whatever you gonna be doing oops he's bringing off the border in schematic 165 please okay adjust my camera it's funny I've got a program here to adjust the parameters of the video colonics items but nothing I change does anything to the camera so we're interested in this chip fu you 4500 okay you just yes decal controller nothing too critical we'll need cleaning up it nothing too bad you can certainly see there was some corrosion of the half the caps being chewed a bit down here definitely now of course none of this really pertains to causing or none of this really explains the cause of the interlacing effect or color discoloration things are that well there it's almost not they tried to reflow there was something and the Wi-Fi has got damage on it too now what's going on there someone just messaged me just the bank telling me that I don't have any money and the battery connect this is definitely going mean ultrasonic clean to actually clean it properly as opposed to whatever they've done here I was kind of hoping maybe there'd be some damage with the individual color lines but it doesn't that's not how it works on these some still leaning towards it being a screen fault just check and see if any pins are flaky they're all good let's fix up that cap I really went and butchered that just get the Wi-Fi module off to a Paul Gallen as hot I think I know as Huck can the corrosion bridge solder lines and tracks not as a direct short per se but certainly they can create a comparative sufficiently low impedance join between lines especially to if it's you've got high frequency stuff running across them in which case yeah that came me crosstalk interference things out there well that is a seriously smashed up cap Warren stands what a copy of flex port of you didn't get my key have you checked in your spam folder or something because basically or weren't you can tell me now after you did the PayPal did it direct you back to a page at my website to give you the key in details because it's supposed to go back to the website and then all your details should be there the key the forum synoptic password to get into the forum things out there if you didn't get any of that then yeah I'm gonna have to go check over the code again because it really should be doing that what's problematic is it seems to be any happening with some people and not all people because when I test it it all seems to work fine and it's only around about maybe ten percent of people hey Nicholas hi v-- it's hilarious that it would go to spam because it's actually being really we got sink issues again interesting okay give me a sec looks up I got the old bug back that's a pain - second lag that's brutal they're lucky that I didn't short this let's get rid of that but uh-oh I'm gonna have to see what I can do about that maybe I'll put a pre warning prior to going in for the purchase to simply state that it should be directing you back if it doesn't then yeah just not sure what's going on why it's doing that with some people but not everybody as you can imagine that's a bit frustrating just not me trying to do that an angle that is not actually gonna work so I'm running out of flocks someone better see me some of the New York better semi flux hey you did it what heat gun am i using this is the quick 861 DW which is pretty much the standard for this industry I think we can thank people like Tim Holman he was one of the first people to give in and try this quick and if you know much started spreading the word around that was a little bit of apprehension at first but it definitely time to have to be a great hit all right so we need to just put a replacement cap on there after they did a fine job of butchering the other one can't find a left-handed soldiering on anywhere mmm yeah that's like someone's pulling my leg there luis would say that zelich share luis would say that I should change providers well that's all very nice and well if you live in the country where most of the providers are but I'd say it's just a programming issue they're probably one of the parameters has probably changed on the fields that you have to pass in when you set up the page when you send you a customer for the purchase off to PayPal it's probably just probably just a little quirk miles I've spent some time and found it I'm really not loving these but likes is just of this influx and boy oh it's no compelling reason we're looking for I am looking okay Timothy whiteboard I'm just evaluating some things right now okay so these caps here they're this pair and this pair they are the ones that the data comes in through for sending out that the display data and they seem to be fine I might just boil this area up here a little bit and this is well it's not related to the display this here but this section sort of is the DisplayPort data lines are capacitively coupled Rick Vandemark yes on the NBN see we have 140 connection here and we actually do get 140 performance which is a damn sight better than most people in Australia to be honest and it's kind of amusing considering that we are in a fairly remote region I would say a lot of the success that I have here with the data speed is primarily due to limited levels of congestion congestion or contention you take you pick your word and go from there these caps of I really don't like them Paul Gallen now put put that one back maybe you just missed it deeming the remember one 31:26 don't you mean javis now these have the integrated Intel CPU Paul are you talking about you're talking about this cafe oh you mean this one over here sorry my apologies nice when people are actually on the ball and accurate thank you did I mention um time not that that's actually an excuse now Rick they'll be good I'll certainly appreciate that I always appreciate all sales a flex board view I mean obviously if you're just doing repairs for the fun of it and things like that then buying flex board view doesn't really make a lot of sense unless you're just simply buying it to say ego Paul is a thank you sort of thing but certainly if you do this sort of work commercially you're pretty much only have to use flex board view for one day and this time it saves would will actually be worth a license cost and the best thing is the license is perpetual it's not like you gotta buy it again next year it's just that's it one job one license you're done Thank You Dragon what type of connection do I have I have fibre to the node here so we're still running copper over vdsl2 we were supposed to have fibre to the premises that dream died when the government got changed I want to check under here see if there's any nastiness looks like a bit of flux under there that concerns me but I'm there that seems okay Warners in the junk folder okay I need to find out what it is that triggers Google to put it in the junk folder because I actually use it's coming out of a Google account that you email let's say you'd kind of think they would yeah everything will it doesn't indicate anywhere where it tells you why it didn't like it I have my doubts but I can either the system I used to write the one that I used to sell we would leave a description in the in the message as to what rule it broke was something like that so at least people think could find find out or you know correct their emails to see is our soo good in the admin emails from Google go to spam most the time yeah I used to will still have that I used to sell a package of program called Exim I'm and it was a basically mail content filtering system for businesses back when pretty much everybody would always have their own email servers funny how that's kind of gone back now to us all using someone else's servers and you'd have access controller some filters and checks and also stuff I was pretty happy with the program I sold quite a lot of copies of it even Virgin Australia was running it so was Pamela national foods even National Australia Bank was using it for a bit but yeah times changed infrastructure changes and then eventually I just sort of closed it down that this one of these days are probably open source that although its relevance to be fairly low now let's find even Yahoo Mar does the same does the same thing even though it accepts email from the same location or inbox it's just nuts like overzealous spending built I get it yeah they prefer to have no spam rather than a rather than a false positive whatever a TCR no there's no schematics or bore of user flex port view because it's not my intellectual property it's kind of likely by Microsoft Word it's not gonna come with any documents I know there are other programs such as yeah for the phones and things like that which do come with all those data files the reason they can do that is because they do not live in a country or they're not hosted in a country that's bound by the legal juice legal arm of Apple whereas here in Australia if I so much as even sniff about putting those things up I'll get a lawsuit from Apple before I can blink and anyway you can get the files easy enough just off the internet just get a bad cap star net and search for what you're after and I'll be there probably okay Jacob thank you for dropping in appreciate that hey graphics Oh yeah I've long since given up doing my own email hosting and things like that I just like Google do it now saves me worrying about it and I just claimed it on tax anyway KX to the household 125 megabit per second in the end of the stage is to stoke the in trouble I have with Co X is the fact that most of the time you won't even get well that was a bit brutal that one that you barely get anything you know whereas at least I am genuinely getting the full 100 megabit per second here like if I go download the latest say Apple iPhone updates or something like that I'll get them down at 10:11 megabit megabyte per second so you know it is using the full 100 megabit capacity of the line I'm just transferring these paths across like so I really don't think these are the cause the problem but I just want to at least clear them out before I fire it up again I know it's out of focus I'm sorry it's like I've stolen the cheese from the earth I wanted that little cat first easy for me to put this little cap in while the big ones not there hey David Parker morning hey steve-o from Ireland such a lovely place Ireland so coming the other day about Irish men and women and it was to the effect of yeah when you look at how beautiful the Irish room an hour is it any wonder the Irishmen are so insane and crazy and fighting because I could out there to protect their beautiful women fighting for their beautiful women I think what was I watching uh I think I was watching Celtic women or something or Irish women singing anyway weird things did bump into on the Internet well Girona now I'm saying it wrong probably and the Netherlands main yes lobster land yeah I don't think there's much else I forgot about that connector I might just scrap that down with the water alcohol mix hey crazy J now it's okay that there's water in this you see how quickly that just washed away that what look like puke if I have used simply pure alcohol it would have still been there and I would've been scrubbing away but now that that's been washed away I can hit it with pure alcohol and that gets rid of the remaining water and it's nice and clean kind of kooky demands a leverets milkshake give me hearts thought difference at times have another look over here okay PCH Hassan seems okay mind you wouldn't be building if that was the case we could have brain issues that's another possibility there it is never got these we spots of green corrosion coming off here and there if I wasn't getting a if I didn't get a backlight or I'm looking at in the backlight I'll look at those two points up for now I think we're okay maybe you're watching Braveheart now Braveheart nope wasn't what doing that then a long time since I've watched brave out I think I watch it in the movies when I first came out that was a very long time ago I was still with my I was with my fist fiance at that point that's a long time ago now I've only been married once as in my current marriage that I have been engaged twice and Daniel that's what I was thinking of screaming out but I said I'm trying try and refrain from the cliche response but thank you for doing it for me that should be enough first a test scratchy nose I see activity happening well there's a snake under the there's a snake under the bed upstairs I'll be back in a jiffy I've back up all righty okay no snakes - I'm sorry folks we have our snake here now this is a changing topic here a bit need find a container to keep this chap safe obviously I'm gonna let him back out up but for the moment it's gonna be a bit of a show-and-tell all right this is a bear one of the most inoffensive snakes you can get here in Australia this is what we call a blind snake now they look like earthworms but they're definitely not that's poor chaps taking it a little bit of a beating hopefully is okay yeah their vigorous little things and they love to wrap themselves around your fingers and sort of like form knots with themselves and the like if they get amongst the grass clumps the likes groups of claw our grass it's almost impossible to get them out you just have to let him relax and get out on their own but these chaps eat termites and they're blind obviously as the name suggests he's taken a bit of a hit here that's really unfortunate hopefully he can heal but then of my he's still got some activity on his back so it's okay they're gonna let this little chap out that fortunately sound fairly safe but no harm you're not gonna get hurt by this one unless you're a termite that yeah let him go he wants to go all righty if you do come to Australia alright whatever with the snakes and things are there unless you're absolutely 100% sure what you're handling please don't handling very easy to get bitten I'm not a professional snake in with myself at all but I do know those ones particularly well normally really even prefer not to handle them it's just simply throw drop that will fellow in Vulcan sure that's next in my amazing bag of tricks is finally in the right cable for this here we go okay I'm part of a I'm on a Facebook group for Australian snakes or snakes in this area and the number of times that you see people holding snakes and saying what snake is this and you're like sweet Bridget you know why are you handling a snake that you are not sure of I say especially in Australia where it's renowned that a great portion of the snakes are quite venomous one way or another you know to varying degrees but why why would you pick up a snake that you don't know Deathwish maybe I don't know being spin this is a 165 so just go straight into beating hopefully hey Edie their trip a hole that some does pretty much all they eat in STEM arts there's a couple of variants around here that I think that one's also known as a flowerpot a snake okay we got a weird which just then on the screen I'm almost certain this is a bad screen to will see this will pop up sooner or later with a white screen if they oh yeah that's a bad screen you glitchy as hell that's for sure I 99% say this bad screen I'll go to way to test let's get another one one with the working screen obviously that's green a bad cable well guess we'll find out but this is a very handy cave over here that allows me to connect it's an extension cable for these screens that's good and see how that goes now if it's a bad cable that's gonna be a pain because I didn't do cable replacements for that particular model by the way anyone in Australia who does do screen refreshments cable changes please let me know because I do get a moderate number of these situations and well we actually still haven't ruled out whether it's cable or screen in this case but we do know it's not motherboard that's all this will crash because it's a 165 and this MRI software is not set up for it but it gives us an idea whether of boots and things out there but if nothing else dragon I'm not sure why it does that and should a crash by now it's crashed I got that's all good okay I'm kind of curious the people who said bad cable what's your reasoning behind that as opposed to say a bad LCD now I'm gonna guess the fact that usually with a bad LCD you tend to you typically will end up vertical bands rather than horizontal flickering issues now if it's a bad cable and it looks at I'm probably still gonna quote them screen assembly replacement one I can't exactly remember where I got that cable from to be honest but they are available so if you look for a 1466 screen extension cable something like that it should come up rich more when you move it pointed me to a back Haven well I'll counter with that and say if the LCD panel itself has a crack in it in one of the fingers or something like that that also could be induced by moving the cable I mean moving the screen assembly I mean obviously at this point I would simply say to the person but we need a whole new screen assembly anyway I mean I do have a dent in the back corner stop back in here and it is on the screen so certainly something took a hit I personally can't see you need a pen off eva is probably very good from there now we've got some chewing out here see this sort of chewing yeah hello we've got some exposed cable there we might get lucky I think he's just exposed and then we can seal that up that's a pretty expensive and it's just a reflection damn it so much of that hope but genuinely look like the fibers of the flex fibers of the wire I feel like I'm dissecting some kind of alien there is some copper definitely down there there because we easy for me to splice in and fix hey Greg can you describe the whole process of powering a MacBook from first to end in a video for probably not nope nothing against you personally or anything like that just a case of yeah it's not really I mean I ever had enough time you even find time to do an edit of any video these days let alone anything else so yeah that's that's been chewed it would it be enough that's a question and I guess it depends where was it rubbing against and me if it was rubbing against something that was grounding it but I have my sincerest of doubts it would be that simple I guess we can try yeah the snaky wasn't that big thankfully at nighttime around here we generally get we get certainly those ones that you just saw see I wouldn't really be blaming that that's not really rubbing against anything in that position so I might just separate that out a little bit and see if we can then wiggle it to make it misbehave a stray 77 they'll have a look and see what we can do because it can be much easier we're much nicer if we can just fix up that cable right there run him do a splitting out the cable from the display assembly because with these 1466 displays the other end of the cable it sort of hooks him back behind the LCD circuit board I've never had any luck replacing them yet it maybe there's a technique to it I don't know but I've not been very successful with it to date so some documentaries over how hard the Australian Customs and Border Security is on agents who bring dead plants strange food protect the wildlife all half of Australia's venom deadly well yeah it's we do have a bit of a serious biosecurity issues here and weed is one thing they should try to do well okay now I'm gonna move this cable I'm not moving the screen now I'm flexing this cable and nothing's happening I'm gonna bet if I press down here somewhere it's probably gonna pretty sure there's a crack in the someone's got a solarized look now they're moving that back and forth just then should have if it was the cable generally upset it let's try to twist the display a bit not even that's not doing it now Ray's just gonna misbehave oh there we go it's weird the solarized crap but why would I disconnect the i/o board you know give me a explanation on that we already know if we plug in a external screen it works just fine we're just trying to turn whether it's the cable or whether it's the screen oh hello I wonder now can with that simple couldn't be let's try that again yeah well let's see I have an ID I'm very curious to see if this comes up good now if it does I'll be very happy come on hurry up hurry up doesn't make a lot of sense to me as to why would do this but anyway let's see what the results are man I hate having to wait so long to get you answers now unfortunately it wasn't that what I was thinking is maybe here the that's protected plastic here see I sort of fractured off a bit I was thinking maybe it was shorting against the pins but unfortunately wasn't that it is rocking in the middle there a little bit better okay okay there's actually some junk down there tell you what you wouldn't spot her okay yeah I don't know if you guys can see it but the tips of these pins have been gouged and then itself's not a problem and then the fact of you like you do wonder why it's all hard to see hmm pull down have a look at that connector again maybe I should just try to replace the connector you may sort of go well it worked farms the other screen but then maybe because the other screen had a different connector the mating is different and because the mating is different it doesn't exhibit the same fault it's comparatively easy for me to change the connector on this anyway why for the alcohol yeah that's one possibility I just want to try and get a in-depth look like so it's just sort of rocking back and forth in the middle there a bit too much I mean honestly I wouldn't have picked that as being faulty at all there's a bit of flux junk in there but nothing substantial and I really can't see any obstruction well it definitely rocks back and forth a little bit what am I looking for oh yeah the assembly itself so some of the pins are a bit depressed and get some alcohol alcohol always fixes up that on a serious matter no it does not fix anything alcohol does not fix depression just tends to enhance whatever mood you're in now the other reason why wasn't overly sticking it would be the cable is because the solarization tends to mean it's it's getting the data but when it tries to send it to the various channels it's getting it wrong but like it can't activate you know the red the green or blue or something in that area's not going right but it is actually getting the data in the first place which means the EDP lines must be working okay as well do a six plus touch I see yeah why not I'm just gonna scrub you out the connector and you had my reasons what I'm thinking it's probably more the LCD panel and that's because the data looks intact it's just being decoded wrong or displayed wrong if you differently if you had a separate RGB top lines on these boards but you don't like with the analog display connectors on PCs the VGA one it's not uncommon to being one of the pins and you get a similar sort of effect now if you're sort of thinking well you've decided to screen panel why don't you just tell the customer that's the screen panel and be done with it I guess because most likely the person once they find out it's a screen panel and they hear the cost of replacing the screen panel on this they're gonna just sort of go and whereas I would fear to be able to fix it without that even though these are fairly old machines now they still cost a pretty penny I'm gonna leave that up it's still worried about that bar shorting out some pins notice the bulge on your mouth connector edge of didn't know I'll have to have a look after this from Syria oh god you guys are in a bit of a rough time at the moment flex inside the screen was damage over my guess is that the actual LCD PC board to the actual LCD glass panel has a crack through zero somewhere in there that's my theory anyway based on the fact that I've got a whopping great big oceans head walking but yeah yeah no I'm just gonna yeah again leaving so it's a panel job I'm not even gonna try say well we can try to replace the cable and all that because it will just cause it'll just cause issues later in the sense of the person will go okay fine let's try the cable and then you guys through all the drama of replacing the cable line you'd find that that's still faulty and then the person's gonna go well you sell just be the cable and I don't want to spend any more money than that and rightfully so and the trouble is you've already invested money into the time and the cable to do that job which didn't end up being successful anyway and so you become you become cranky about the whole job and things just don't go well whereas if you just simply quote them for a replacement panel out right then it's done and down there they go for it or they don't and there's no issues oh go big on now see stay now raise here - and Rico de oz you said about the volge on the thing I believe that now Saudi Arabia roof on the PC laptop that cable goes after the hinges care of your that definitely on the pcs that we'll all right so that's the 1466 which you know put that into report to customer and then come back now what else do I have I've got a 1502 we're nice we looked at 1502 almost another favorite of mine not quite now this one supposedly has no activity after a battery was changed I'm gonna guess that what happened is a metal implement was used for the battery removal process that's my guess okay 18 million so yeah we're not automatically turning on oh here we go we had some blip 1830 know something's very dead there okay I can feel there's no battery in it so my guess is blown SMC blown I soul 62.5 9 all that sort of stuff amazing I didn't scratch it so you choke when you're using new tools that you're not familiar with in handling you get a little bit sloppy sometimes and you can have a Vince like that scratching so I'm just got to take a little slower take it easy breathe a little every doesn't help that I it's 11 o'clock at night and I should have been asleep for me an hour ago okay mr. Bailey's me no I'm saying this is this is probably a fern keyboard type one okay for the reveal give it up okay scratch my finger I'm 500 but it did scratch my finger let's get this drive out another Samsung controller not good graphics thank you very much for the Canadian ten I appreciate that give you some good kitty cat food so it's a look there's some pitting going along yeah let's see this here I know it's junk okay so what looks like that yeah yeah yeah let's have a look around you see we've got anything that's noticeably popped I hate the fans on these things with a passion what is this the board number will be revealed under there just because hey guys name 44 annex are you playing visit Lewis in the near future I'm sending planning to visit Lewis maybe but unfortunately there's you know certain reality of commitments I have here which make it quite difficult for me to be able to do that I mean sure maybe you know twenty years ago we've just you know Lewis could ring me up and said hey Paul don't you come over in New York no but yeah sure thing I've seen in a couple of days now it's quite a bit harder to do than that sampler but that is what happens your commitments come up as you get older usually 30 476 ja be good ain't nuts and proud oh wait never it's settled over you Oh mister Legault 476 I'm just gonna bring that up 34 76 ground ground ground hmm okay let's if we could sort out pp buses hey Bubba Gordon roll how long have I been doing this do you mean the stream or just in general see what we got hmm I'll have to get an instant green line voltages no fan spin of course 12:56 SMC is alive and well and we've disconnected the daughterboard so it's not that holding down let's just disconnect the keyboard and the other flexes as well just in case they were holding it down No I'm seeing it blip up and then die so we're gonna short somewhere most likely it's take this thing apart get the board out it's almost inevitable that we're going to have to do that regardless do it now it'd be really nice to get to New York for the new story and stuff like that but like I said unless a miracle occurs it's just it's not something that's gonna happen I would love to have been there yeah just for the fun of it be nice for a change of in the last 20 years to do something like that just in the last one the last week or so it was made very clear to me that there are certainly things that go on around here which I need to be here for specifically low-key one of my delightful cats has found himself a new way of getting out of the enclosure and it was not an easy fix type thing as and you couldn't just in Vic our wall yeah let's just lock him in the house or something like that yeah you just can't do that with the situation they were in at the moment and if I was over in New York and it was just simply my wife here trying to deal with that it would be you know a near impossible situation to the point where he probably would basically have gotten out yet again and we may not have found him again and that would be a real hot crusher and add insult to the injury yeah it's like you're powerless to do anything because you're 20,000 kilometers away or 15,000 I have a far away it is no no you shouldn't live your life strictly on those fears but unfortunately the current situation that we're in with the house and things like that it's more than just a possible fear it's very much a reality of what can happen and so until I get to the pump ground comfortable with the housing situation I have to come again anywhere in re certainly not like that what's going on buffering goddamn I don't think that's me still evening 23 living at the moment okay Oh far out right well that'll be why holy Dooley yeah that's I thought it looked a bit weird and that's what I'm truly destroyed what else have we got that's destroyed that bias is just it's a goner Wow okay that's camera but I've never seen corrosion quite looking like that that's something else yep told you I should have removed the body out wouldn't be surprised that's a shorted cap we'll get back to that in a bit so buy us down I'm amazed it even booted and that looks like it really looks like someone else has worked on that this is scratch marks here yeah and liquid there and so with the liquids from but yeah somebody's worked at this I think maybe they've used a fiberglass pin and that's amazing it even tried to be the other size not much better not something else got there too and I have to take that edge strip off I really want to see what's underneath let's see if it's not some bad habit you can be in New York via Skype YouTube yeah probably could but I probably forgotten I mean certainly an interesting thought I am still waiting on Lewis to get his act together and get his interview with me I'm not sure who's gonna be asking the questions okay they are team - yeah I'm disinclined to get that hopeful yes we'll see what that part is make sure it is a cap I mean it probably is bit we're gonna be sure let's see bottom side of the board I should turn it the way up it is in the board view because I'm too lazy to press the buttons and Elsevier we back away today cannot stand the boredom anymore I'm not surprised what am I gonna do come on brain ah that's right all right so this here as an inductor yes that's why I wanted to check so you control okay and you are the camera so then itself shouldn't really have killed it I'd say it's much like the bars but that was really weirds to about that's it and I'll get a replacement for that I said 29:36 was it oh well kids this 34 76 yeah guess who probably doesn't have any 3470 sixes I should have 49 24 I probably had to use a 49:24 I'd say anyway this coastal area maybe maybe not 34 76 dodged that bullet anyway there looks like soda mass but I can tell you it's if it's got a slightly fairy consistency to it so I'm gonna definitely say it's some sort of outgrowth it's just we you don't normally see that with an inductor I get a lethal one good to see you coming back to life again I'd say we miss G but other knows that lying just kidding I have then cooked this chip who the heck is shad well the lethal value now I don't have any problem yeah plenty of people talk about my software but unfortunately the most vocal ones seem to have a hard time saying nice things about it though oddly I did notice that the vocal New Yorker has changed his tone for some reason it's weird because I haven't given him any extra money lately all I can imagine is he's developing a sense of guilty conscience or something hey Jason Collier anyway it's just weird particularly as an Australian we're taking the mickey out of each other is pretty normal to then have someone being nice it's like what's going on this is a strange sensation I'm having admitting li because we are dealing with a commercial product with a lot of people who don't understand the humor or the relationship between myself and Lewis it probably is advantageous to try and regain some sort of normal discussion about the software taking the mickey out of someone just sort of means giving them a hard time but jokingly you know making fun of them things like that I suppose another term would be like you know taking the piss out of him sort of thing I have to say that quietly because I don't want YouTube knocking me off for that yeah I think I should have clean up those pads month it's still bleeding to jump the gun a little bit they're putting that back on I should have given it a bit of scrub down so I'm gonna take it back off scrub the pads a bit better at least they are truly massive pads Nadia where my surgical knife is it's a mystery maybe I come in here at the dead of night grab my surgical knife and go out stab a few people and then sometimes I forget to come put it back a bus bus in the vault I suppose busting the balls is a little bit of a more aggressive version of it but yeah same concept taking the mickey is a little more friendly this thing's really bleeding still yeah there could be it could be the cats trying to steal the cat treats you know I shouldn't laugh about that because there is a particular can't treat that or biscuit that we used to buy and yeah the cats loved it we were happy is okay you know the cats like the biscuits but when my crow got diagnosed with diabetes we kind of had to cut back on all of that stuff and so we took the biscuits off the menu and but the thing is it seems like they put something in the biscuits to make the cat's Craven because we still have one half a packet around in the house and they know wherever we put it they go hunt it down and it's sealed and everything but obviously not well enough and they hunted down a name now at the cupboard for we went our biscuits we went our biscuits him yeah we just have to get rid of him entirely definitely they put something in it to make them crave it it's like crack the could crack the kittens man I really want that knife where are you I mean you all saw me use it the other night when I was cutting up that iPhone and honestly there's no point me color coding things because I've got so many colors on my bench right now that this is going to be more color I'm throwing uh maybe it's fallen on the floor and it's just be Carrie asleep waiting for me to stand on it it's probably sitting again any minute now Paul's gonna stand on me any minute and it's gonna be worse than the worst of Legos or goat heads you don't know what a goat head is you it's so basically a three-headed prickle ground-dwelling prickle now take you down faster than a 50 caliber to the head honestly if you take a group of kids people will say people because it's less less illegal you take a group of people make them walk barefoot across the field of goat heads and be like watching Saving Private Ryan reenactment on the beach and just seeing all these people go down it's horrible it's just horrible if you look hard for something you never fun over all this that's definitely true I'm glad I took that part off because these pads are a mess carefully lose everything see the connection between here and there is a little weak in my opinion see is a scratch ever it still bleeds so run a wire I'm a little worried about this one but we might have enough there just through the video but again this isn't really why I wouldn't be beating I'm just simply attacking it because it was the most visually prominent fault man I just I learn to clean my eyepiece is a little more frequently then you always know when you've got one in your phone because you just step on the concrete or anything hard you can feel that clack clack clack clack and you're like ah I've taken a hit still better your thumbs and your bicycle tires I mean as a kid you pretty much spent most of your weekends fixing up the bean bicycle tires what's so bad where I live they end up just putting solid rubber tires on people that's right the old in Australia thong flip-flops of what we call forms okay and in Australia the word fanny refers to things you're not supposed to talk about in Soul Society sorry I just so polite society not suicide which broadcasting software using open broadcaster probably an old version a C version 24-hour I thought I was up today and I thought I had the problem soul but it seems like it's raised its ugly head again Oh crikey sorry I didn't realize that that was all in the small screen there this one does go to here I didn't really have to do it this way but I'm just doing the full length the track just in cases other corrosion that I've missed I operate far more than he does far more yeah that's actually too much solder you see it's risking bridging with the now there's a ground flood nearer I'm just making a mess of this I'm gonna blame the fact that I then have my proper knife since the knife isn't here it can't defend itself so suits me nicely and serious now I'm going to do just the flexing break-off method I hate this I prefer to cut and I'm going to get rid of that bridge dumb question is there a demo set of example files to play with the board view software no there's not we did actually look at that at one point but really if you just get a bad caps in it or something like that pick up something like a 3437 or well pretty much anything there's absolutely no shortage of available files out there already see the trouble is the whole distribution legality situation particularly if you want to have a board that's going to demonstrate various aspects then it needs to be a comparatively complex board and all the boards are from my own development work aren't anywhere near that fancy a couple of down baits the streams I found oh well that's okay there's special people that you know they actually take the time out of their day and to come here and make sure things are wrong and then they'll mark it down yeah that the putting time and effort into it you should be thanking them this I would say is definitely the primary cause as for why it happened only after the battery was changed I think it was one of those things where it's probably a coincidence more than anything else why I'm using the solar on that's the whole lot just has to be redone but do those two okay but the foreigner ones are all they're all goners get out here oh wow that's really bad the worst part about all this is the pad scam missing those ones are okay we'll have to check the continuity of the lines though too as much as I hate to use this yeah so this here this is a fiberglass pencil and this is a three mil one I can't get an idea of why you can't really use them on these circuits I mean look at the size of that that's there's no way you can might be able to just scratch on the side there a little bit but overall it's pretty much impossible to use them now if you could get a one millimeter one they would probably work that's the you have is real careful to because of abrasive as heck yeah I think I'm gonna stick with my knife technique and since I don't I was get another blade now I'm sure got a hold or I can use somewhere that's it I'm gonna hold enough it's very fresh so very deadly blade please don't kill me tested I'm trying to put it into isn't quite big enough in the holder was another Jam it out of it because this is the dangerous part when you start applying a bit too much force to things and then slippage is occur and bad things happen yeah that looks nicely corroded there's a big chunk of junk in there that can be the other fun thing is a lot of this corrosion will hide underneath the the masking cover that goes over these tracks you can usually see it if you look at it from an angle it's causes the tracks to be slightly puffy like that this one should be okay yep that they might yep pretty much this whole area has to be rebuilt the they're more corrosion there watch me that one haven't gone all the way through but it was starting to puff up I think we have to take this back to back to the base yeah I will I will be remarking at all I'm taking these off simply because I want to be able to get down and make sure that everything is connected up right all right great thanks being in this is taking a little longer than I planned which is about the right amount of time it usually takes the one and what the end one out of the chip looks split maybe a little lagging you're talking about the trace or the some part it was the love of stuff we're gonna fix up your just checking my continuities say the hardest part of this might be trying to deal with the resistor that went here to kick out in that corrosion out brilliant there's a veer under the oh [Music] that's not what we were hoping for now because the problem with the B ravine there is that well chances are we might not be able to reconnect to that find out where that one goes we're lucky it will be somewhere easily accessible if you're not lucky well that's just the way it goes so all right so that's this line here spi ROM so I would say yeah so you got these two connected that's just a test pad so connecting to the test pad or that one really isn't gonna do anything because we need to where go wherever there goes please do not go to the underside of a okay there we are we can use on the other side of the board there's the connector the JTAG of all things thank God for that because otherwise we would have to go over this resistor over here or snake under the CPU obviously we're not going to snake under the CPU but yeah what we'll try to do is see if we can actually get that to come up as a sortable we'll try that first if that doesn't succeed we'll go to the other side and use the use the JTAG as some people like to call it even though but that does look all mighty corroded part of the dentist sees when they working on my teeth mr. Daniels have you been flossing regularly in other what's regular you mean can we get a definition of that it's funny how as a kid brushing is more important it seems but as an adult will you know India 30s of onwards it's flossing that's more important in fact brushing just seems to cheer to your enamel away it's not really what you want oops melt the JTAG sorry now I don't do that I don't believe in that sort of unwarranted abuse I know some people get off on that but for protection of the against the abuse of JTAG abusers do you know someone who abuses je tags do the right thing and report them okay we need a ball in there one single point two point three five maybe point three because your teeth get closer together ah dragon you know that makes sense and your teeth get closer together because you're Jewish shrinks isn't that just great the things you learn okay this is way too close back up well I need one but not much chance to be getting one off see how that goes well the trick of this is getting the ball to actually bind to the stork the veer stalk rather than everything else around it there they were found to the stalk not still moving the reason why that's hard is because you got to get the stork hot enough okay that's good that's me oh nice nice will blue coloring they're from the temperance dragon you say another dentist hmm how do we know that it could be there could be one in disguise pretending just dishing out the good advice in a way that people can finally accept it and do the right thing by their teeth rather than being constantly judged by their dentist I'll make sure they touch that bull never seen someone reball up a brothel or what do you mean what I thought you'd see the million times with where you work especially for trying to restore a failed you know corroded out stalk honestly we used to see it all the time chimes like maybe I should do these ones first it's not going to sit perfect because there's no masking around so the solder flows differently and so the tensions pull differently and therefore it sort of sits a bit crooked we can live with it being a bit crooked we're not going to try and recreate the perfect mask in sin that actually goes nowhere there's no it's a no stuff I'm not putting them down fully there's no point until you've got them all across and then when you've got them all across you drop on a bit more flux and then you do the full reflow I'll be a hey Keith the AC is fantastic I also got the five kilowatt installed yesterday and that's also fantastic in this office I've got the two kilowatt well a little bit over two kilowatt and it's doing the job very nice last one obviously we're gonna have to test obviously we're gonna have to test that this is actually still reconnected so we'll reflow everything test the connection and if it hasn't made it we'll try and push some things around mark was a recent loose cannon whose mark Oh yes oh now comes the reflow and the ill should just sort of generally sit down into slightly happier positions I'm just gonna try a nudge this yeah the best way to test this will be just to plug it in and see the fan spins Oh and then I really no need to go and get some sleep push myself a little bit far here folks it was all the excitement of being online I can't get away from the thrill of the limelight I need those subscribers I need the fame Oh all righty am i an influencer well I don't seem to have the power of being able to look at a Macbook board and make it work so I guess not see here we go doesn't look like we've had the influencing power they're still at 18 something else's looks like we still got a short somewhere so this has really got a few issues to say the least it's gonna take us away it's not guaranteed that I has a show but its behavior does tend to make me think it does and so without turning on my brain too much I'm just looking around to see if I can find something else like a big hair on the board I mean that was certainly catastrophic amount of damage there there's no way that was going to come up good that the that one kept there is a bit of a bother but yeah let's see everything better check that via continuity ok where do we go well is no short there that's for sure very hard to test that via continuity there I'll get to tell you but I guess we got to do it I would still expect a slightly different behavior though if it was that veer at fault I'd expect it to get into a you know further up on the current roar and then shut down that camp looks a little now either doesn't appear to be it wonderful a dead CPU maybe that'd be something let's see what's it resistance no point trying to measure died had made on these things someone's been proving on those before 41 there we should be good on that one two three four and it's about corrosion there too well definitely short oh damn it it was just a hair I thought it was a crack then but momentarily excited then thinking I found the cracked cat yeah I'm trying to think 150 million say let's call it 20 volts that's three watts so it would certainly show up if you had a infrared camera wouldn't be so easy to spot using alcohol though you can do it but you pretty much have to cover the whole board with alcohol and then you have to go through and look for the pole soon you'll see there will be an area of alcohol that sort of pulses let's check it out well now we know that the SM sees I'm running yeah fine let's see if we're gonna measure this the hell am I supposed to do this oops is there another area on the same side oh yeah there is because somewhere here is where the other connection is it's free gonna say three they're two sisters one two yeah and then okay so that that I've got my probe on there should get it here okay well that confirms the continuity wash the board triple ho it's no it's not really worth watching the board at this point it's nowhere near dirty enough a Michael Olson staying sometimes these boards do want to bet you but not this particular one hey Jacob is the thing connect yeah it's not a dumb question but it is in this case but what I'm doing is I'm looking actually at the power supply and I can see it jumping up to you know 10 yeah a hundred or whatever if you leave it here long enough it may sometimes develop just enough that you can feel even though it's infrequent this was the right thing to do really would be test the rails okay looks like I haven't got a PDF favorites on this one the power rails what am I using oscilloscope and repairing stuff because none of this really the oscilloscope is not going to be telling me anything about what's getting all of this bored at this point I would use an oscilloscope if I'm trying to ascertain whether I've got a fault in say a bias or the PCH and I want to say I check the chip select lines see if they're being clocked see if there's any i2c activity going on but for this sort of thing the oscilloscope is not gonna do any good for me I am thinking of getting myself a Rygel for channel one but yeah at this point it's not really worth it I mean they're convenient to have oh you're dead set short there I don't think so I think you just come on a chest file computing yeah it's a lying piece of crap 144 that's perfectly acceptable Steve Abraham these were the Herschel ones I think it's Hershel did you find the branding name when I'm something like that some German brained I'm trying to find if the cable actually has it but it was a kit of probes it was about four different types of probes actually does have a bulge to do those there is adjust the that looks flat that they kind of feel bulgy I think it's my imagination and wishful thinking sickling tees channel one I was looking at the Signum ones but I think I'll probably end up just going for the Rye goal for Channel fifty megahertz one I think it's sort of a stain did it's kind of like getting the quick 861 DW it's just stained it I'll just go straight up to one ain't then we've got a higher current rate coming in now I think it's just alcohol and an a-hole I sure know what I'll do we'll leave it connected it will do the rails that way voltage never ever don't get too many bizarre readings that we can't interpret it's a leaven one oh he's just computing his game really slow that's weird ya see it takes a dive there it's more often than not sure sign will be short Jose it's a just a cooking silicon cooking map we're gonna have three view 42 which I check out RTC since that is up in that area where we had all that corrosion it's just this fellow here and that's holding steady so that's fine of you five is five you know then one jumping up and down a little bit but think it might be try3 V 3 is 5 3v3 seems fun you know it still I'm actually trying to think about these things because I stopped talking too much all right so this rail is jumping up and down striding to come up but it's not getting anywhere and that is was a 5 vs 4 this is fun here so he might be we're closing in on it okay what's five years for generated by yeah obvious 4G 7501 which is the chip that I was just looking at mmm I think I might have to go sleep on this because I have a feeling I'm gonna make a rash decision at this point and maybe end up yeah doing the wrong thing more than usual I will have a look at the resistance of that line there Oh because that's fairly high resistance yeah Reef Louis yeah and then I'll send it to you and on you can fix it yeah I'm getting a bit tired here it's already 20 past and like said I mean I'm gonna be up at 5:30 again so I think I might have to leave that be not quite like Louis so or other people I can't push through these things so far anymore so yeah we didn't really get any Windsor at all we sort of fairly sure we're just gonna replace the panel on that a 1466 and on this one well I guess tomorrow we'll get back into it and have a look and see how we can go so I was in the other notification maybe 10 minutes before around the livestream I'll can't promise anything but I'll try and you can all catch up with me then so leave it at that thank you all for watching and usual sort of a thing as always is yeah thumbs up like whatever subscribe share you know the story and of course as always if you don't like what I've done just hit the thumbs down but hit it twice that I really know that you didn't like it until then you'll take care I'll see you later
