Louis fixes girlfriend's Macbook.

Wow so I have a I have a mic what is this oh I was muted your mic we try this again Eric Erica what is this you're holding us for a friend right this is yours bye okay so we are gonna try and fix this MacBook so what is wrong with this MacBook what does it do it's beeping it's beeping now both beeping before oh yeah the only way I think that is I have to unplug the battery and we plug it back in that's the only way I got rid of it the beeping yeah okay so it turns on all right taking seven hundred milliamps and as you can see we don't have a logo on the screen let's take a look at this MacBook let's see if we can make it work the first thing that I see here is that the long screw has been inserted into the short hole I did not do that then who did well I know Apple repaired my computer like at least three times you brought your computer to Apple it um I bought the computer in 2012 and it went to Apple in 2013 and then it went to Apple again in 2016 okay I got it I got a funny story to tell you guys okay so the reason why I went to Apple so quickly the fan is not even like this isn't this clip is not even held in good this [ __ ] this one of the things randomly crashing in kernel panic you missed the fans gonna be intermittently spinning because the latch and the connector was not even close oh by the way I do want to tell you that they did replace that fan specifically yeah that I can tell that they replace the fan because it is not even latched into the machine oh I can't believe you took it to Apple Erica but I had Apple care I can't believe you took it that so you got long screwed and the stuff not plugged in okay so let's open this up okay so about this story okay so um I was drinking water or something and something like a bug or something had flown into my water while I was talking to my friend so I wanted to show my friend this bug and I was uh I was talking to them on my webcam so what I did is I I said hey can you see the bug and I tipped it towards the webcam and they said no I can't no I can't and then I tipped it even some more and as you might have guessed the water splashed all over the keyboard yeah and that's how I got liquid damage on my keyboard back in 2013 this is their okay so see this screw is supposed to go over here but they put it over there and then they put the screw that's supposed to go over there over there you know what happens when you put the long screw in the short hole tell me not good things Hawaii needs a proper MacBook repair shop we have actually only have a Apple stores and then we also have Apple certified repair places and that's about it disgusting practice let's get right back to all this aside give me a ziploc bag to put all the little pieces in all right why didn't I get a think pad because that was uh that was my second laptop the first one I got was a HP which is in my opinion a horrible product I had it for six months and then it gave me issues now so backlight is gonna be somewhere around here and surprisingly enough that area is actually really good so this is the backlight chip and the part that's typically enough blow up is your feedback ball right over there that looks fine but we do have massive corrosion on this section of the backlight circuit treat her like Kevin please what Jesus Christ no okay we get the multimeter on the screen and let's see if our backlight fuse is good we are not gonna treat her like Kevin you're gonna treat her like an apple customer Kevin make up an invoice for 325 plus tax let's see so our backlight fuse appears to be open so this could be nothing but a backlight fuse and I'm gonna guess that there's a short two grounds over here as a result yep let's see what do we have there from yep zero ohms so this little cap over here is probably corroded so we just knock that thing off the board and interesting our short circuit is still there yeah so we got to find out where that short circuit is hiding so this is gone so it's are there gonna be now this capacitor over here as you can see well so do you see this which one of these capacitors is the one that you think is damaged Erica if you had a guess this one which is the grossest one the blonde body okay what makes the bottom right one grosser okay it has a lot of corrosion and green cells what else do you see there's something looks wrong with the eye part that little chip I have to guess see this that thing yes there that's chipped so we're gonna remove that and our short circuit will most likely be gone and by me remove it I mean you let's switch seats now it's gonna be easy don't worry about it it's only your computer have a seat it's gonna be fine okay so what you're gonna do first thing I want you to do is look in the microscope okay all right can you see well yeah very good now you're gonna hold that with your left hand grab the tweezer so now your left hand that's right hand so left hand yep left hand grab tweezer I mean and now left hand use the tweezer to grab hold that capacitor okay but now try to hold it from the red part so you're gonna have to angle it instead of it being like this like this all right and try holding it like this see how you're holding it you're holding the tweezer like this try holding like that so that no no I like that see the tweezers are going up and out rather than into my hand do that okay now you're gonna use your right hand with this to heat that up until it gets hot enough to remove it but you're gonna hold this like you would hold this like you hold a sharpie that your or a pen right yeah this the no snow soldering here right now me you're gonna point this at the capacitor not at other stuff okay you're pointing at stuff okay Erica watch you do this and you point you're gonna point see this thing that's got a point of the capacitor nice oh go you're pointing at sunder boat listen I don't care about thunderbolt much either but now you're pointing at battery okay yep look at the heat look at this okay how about we just the [ __ ] we do without the mic oh yeah they do it like this yeah and heat the capacitor and not other stuff so you want to point straight down the board mm-hmm okay you're gonna slowly go in on it yeah okay now give it to me 20s there you go came off okay put this back in there no no they like this see like that there you go now we're gonna see if it stays on to cool itself off so now we're gonna see if we still have a short circuit so I want you to put one probe on the Left pad and this on the right pad that you just did that component office yep and your short circuits gone so you fixed it all right now we need to replace a fuse okay how do you feel about replacing that small thing over there without knocking the stuff around okay you did have to work I'll do these how many times have you started before I [Music] have never done this before in the words of William Hung I have no training in this us William huh-huh you ever watched American Idol when he has his audition yeah yeah at the end of it he kind of looked down he's like you know I have no I've never had a formal training thing dudes made better money than I ever had so I have all right we're gonna lick those pads once I find my wick you should always know the names of the things of your tools that you can call them when they get lost she didn't use flux indeed she's learning from Paul I have to say you know it definitely is a lot smaller these these components then I thought it sound so stupid for me to say it that way [Music] so we're also going to have to address those random kernel panics you're having now how often does it beep and also when it beeps is it three fast beeps or was it three slow beeps uh it beeps maybe once a month and I just unplugged the battery in there now when it beeps is it beep beep beep or is it beep beep I forgot fast beeping or slow beeping moderately beeping there's no such thing as mother is beeping customer whatever I wasn't earlier that beeping yeah and I'm back backlight fused I stab you now I have not had a bagel yet there's so many bagel places here in New York - all right we're gonna grab some countess sitters you know I'm not even gonna use a donor board just for you we're gonna use new capacitor you can go ahead and fix your MacBook if you go ahead and send it to San your macbook comm you remember me though not me if it was me I'd be here until the age of til til forever way too long don't fly away little fuse do not fly away I do I've been using a MacBook since 2012 I had a HP and I hated it ok so this is what happened ok back in about 2011 or so I wanted to get a laptop my first laptop and I asked people I said what should I get and I was on the fence between you know an HP and an apple and my computer friends told me they said oh you know an apple is better if you go ahead and get it but the HP is good too HP was cheaper so I got the HP I used it for about 6 months and it was a horrible product I I flung that computer away basically even though it was factory reset several times it was just terrible HP so then I went over and I got a 2012 MacBook Air and that is what's here today if you wanted me to fix it and this would be a very very long stream a very very long stream way too long [Music] so my my laptop experience has only been HP and Apple matza one but I do have to say I brought this to the Apple store about three or four times and all they did was long screw you okay so the HP what happened was is that it just got incredibly slow I mean very very very slow it was freezing on me the track pack was bubbling up and what happened was the side told HP I said hey can you go ahead and cover this under warranty and they said well they looked at a picture of it and they said well you know it's actually just normal wear and tear and that torque that really um you know turned me off so much when I heard about that and they said if I if I sent it in to them if they determined that it wasn't their fault then I would be charged for return shipping or some point data that's reasonable you know and I was like wait this is not normal wearing hair this is you know like a bubble the drive probably died I don't know how much did you pay for that HP I feels like seven hundred eight hundred dollars yeah is she being a customer stream I am being a customer she is reasonably worshiping after that after that I I determined that I did not want to go ahead and support HP anymore and I went over to the line of Apple and I have five Apple products now but only two of them work two or three of them work yeah actually three of them work that's number one we're done with this huh nothing so random kernel panicking let's see what else is there so we only had corrosion on the LCD circuit I would not expect that to cuts kernel panic this may have kernel panicking because rant oh right by your BIOS chip look at your SPI wrong Mac look if so many pubes on it are you sure that isn't cat hair oh don't you try to play that up the [ __ ] well thank you wet it could be another it could be a white cat you know I would blame this on us also if it was feathers I'd take full ownership on that oh god this doesn't even have legs anymore yeah what a mess [Music] all right I said Apple double Hosmer in his grasp don't those three pads that they're just by oh jesus yes he's still south I was so alive and well and chirping he's safe in Hawaii mr. Clinton's gonna be doing a collaboration stream that sells a short clip this poor little MacBook cierk is another type of Mac owner that spill something on it and then stops she just keeps running electricity through that venue you just keep putting electricity through this thing day in day out I was like you know what let's just let your soldier on let's just soldier on without even giving it a little bit of cleaning what someone should call for one one on you for abusive Apple products this is me oh it's like if you brush your teeth every day you're fine and when you go to the dentist you need a normal cleaning but if you never brush your teeth when you go to the dentist you know what they do so real so people are supposed to go and bring their Mac books to get a cleaning happy looks nice after you spill something on it see because now I have to scrape this is like going to the dentist you hear that noise if I'm gonna trigger some people that are afraid of the dentist right now now I did not feed that little bird to Clinton or Blackberry he's very safe in Hawaii you should read the coming from Harrison to brown I'm 15 I just want to thank Lois for the inspiration to create my own repair service here we go god damn good job kid good job I'm buddy get that get this so I should have a link to an exacto knife in the description that's similar to that one so now after that's done all our scraping is done now it's time for our squeak all right cleaning someone says I feel that in my soul indeed okay now my main concern is that midday never feed him to Clinton the pad may be okay but is the via that's feeding it could it doesn't seem like that's any good so I got to figure out what that goes to later okay so I'm cameras potato yes I'm streaming at 1 megabit per second because of Time Warner sorry I have a 20 megabit per second connection and I can't stream 2 megabit without it crashing can we have eight can we have eight oh no no no no no drop rings oh god it's not taking it I got greedy that's on getting a girlfriend this is the Renaissance thank you you know just to work on this whole Mac user thing to work in progress at the bottom pro point does not look very nice either to love with micro solder since Pedro Pedro is an employee in 2012 he's a good guy all right that's as clean as that stuff's gonna get [Music] someone said once we have a female guest that internet sucks yep oh my god even at two megabit it's not letting a stranger I see how high heavy nine and do your job all right so let's see what that chip over here is for open aboard you for an a20 3209 so that's the thing right next to the BIOS chip here PM sleep best 3l what do you know SMC adapter enable ACN oh ok this is Wi-Fi so wireless LAN enable generation so what this is gonna do is if ap power enable is present and SMC adapter enable of presence and p.m. sleep as3 ello present this is the signal that tells the machine to turn on and put all the power rails on to get in an Esso state of being on this is when the your power adapter is working and this is when it's telling it an access point power enable you're gonna get W land and naval L and W land and able L is going to go to this transistor oh god what is this for w and Abel L is probably gonna go to the Wi-Fi card or something on the other side I would expect it to goes to a resistor here that goes to this what a mix for creating 3.3 volts that goes over to your Wi-Fi card lineman interesting okay so that's why you don't have Wi-Fi so let's get a replacement transistor yeah I don't have I don't know if I have this donor board because it's so old but we may be able to grab this part off of the donor so what is your name - n700 - DW how does find a doughnut you're right back yeah it's actually a lot harder to do if you caught it earlier you would have seen me a fumbling big time I like I like New York a lot I have to say though the roads are definitely very bumpy in certain areas there's a hopefully he uploads a video with his Fang and that's all I'm gonna say if you see it you will you'll probably laugh I have seen the basement it's actually a lot smaller than it looks on camera what's a lot smaller the basement oh okay so this is the this is the board we're grabbing parts from nothing but the best for you Erica this is the prize okay well I'm actually riding behind him so I hope he stays off these slippery metal plates actually I have a Wi-Fi dong I already threw that away oh yeah nice that thing's a piece of [ __ ] oh I had a little Wi-Fi done okay they didn't have Wi-Fi the thing is it's broken well the plastic part broke off it's a dress that works it's gone now we're gonna have to check out with those corroded Pro points so there's one over here PM sleep best uh BL you can grab a wire to that one of these three resistors over there indeed at indeed thank you by the way so we do this it went somewhere jumper wires actually I do have an iPhone 4 I'm not kidding you I also have an iPhone se you have an iPhone 4 can I have an iPhone 4 you can borrow mine I want and I don't want to borrow it I want to own it that was that glancing for I love that stuff I think you should read this comment right here quick gotta give you little things I do volunteer work for two years we're starting my own business in a second here was a bit rough your videos on depression really helped me do it during that time and thank you very much I'm really glad it got did you something could use some good take long alright so now I got a void in the iPhone 4 video alright so we've got a jumper wire now we have to run this to where p.m. sleeve s3l is and that's gonna be all the way on the other side of this friggin mess over here the [ __ ] of resistors under the CPU it's not raining outside it's very sunny okay so we're gonna run you right here [Music] we can either run it to they're already here I should actually say we met at an Apple store but we didn't [Music] I think you could probably buy one for about $25 use I want an iPhone for [Music] she turned on a fan a bit so hot [Music] actually here's the here's something interesting so we had a we don't want to eat up out of vegan music I place and I mentioned that he was eating apple cinnamon oatmeal and after he realized what I had disclosed online he no longer eats at apple cinnamon oatmeal you a rapture around here some cash for the internet meaning thank you [Music] okay what else do we have now there's this whole point under there that could [Music] SMC adapter n okay so SMC adapter n is really only present on SMC and on this resistor on the other side of the board really is that is that really broken or yeah it looks like it's good good enough for rock and roll okay so the first thing we're gonna do is see if we have backlight and after we see if we have backlight I'd also like to see if we have Wi-Fi this thing's obviously gonna need an ultra ah here we go this is probably gonna be the cause of our kernel panicking what is this green stuff over here what's this little cluster because the corrosion we had was by backlight which is not gonna cross Colonel panicking and Wi-Fi which is not gonna go sternal panicking unless it was on the card is the kernel panicking PCI Express item could cause kernel panicking but not kernel not on power circuit over here let's see what this that's for isolate CPU memory ooh mem vtt enable an Allen this is stuff that's gonna be enabling power for the memory and your computer's every now and then beeping right yeah it is it is so if your computer's beeping every now and then and the power it's a beeping typically is ravishing so it's not recognizing the RAM of the RAM as bed and the corrosion here is around the area responsible for powering the memory so your RAM is probably turning off of intermittently and that's what's causing your beeping why don't the Apple Store fix this why well they could have been fixed that they could have just replace my whole boiler I guess that's a replacement pinching Anna by Lewis is on Mac would you go to hell and you die Oscar Alan all right we're not gonna have to replace much here we just got to get rid of this bloated stuff and I'm wondering where hi-hi is so how many of these Pro points can be revived and how many of them have gone oh don't touch that don't touch it don't touch that you grab that by the wrong end very bad things will happen to you and the lighting is terrible you can barely see me what is that why does HEIs laptop say helped me [Music] nobody help me can I can I kind of alter that and write don't help me on there maybe you don't notice right I'm just alright don't help me thank you busy but there's no pen here I don't want to scrape away but it's probably a vulnerable pad so I'm barely scraping and just kind of hovering the soldering iron over there's a lot of flux there which is going to be helpful none of that Paul amount of flux [Music] there we go see that's what I'm looking for I want the corrosion to get sucked up into the solder blob I don't want to solder over corrosion but I don't want to scrape hard enough that I break the pro point it's gonna be attaching those two pieces [Music] so one of the pieces of corrosion was on the right so these two this pro point actually is allowed to be corroded because those two points is supposed to be attached to one another so I can just put a solder blob over there and that'll do the job maybe up with a wire not gonna be that lazy wire between these two points will do since those two legs of the chip are actually supposed to be shorted together ins one two three four five six seven bottom so now we should have two less of that random crashing some memory errors we do those that pro point this pro point that's nasty I don't have to care about because I just used to buy a wire to bypass it this is the last one we're gonna see what this conditioner that probe is with a mild scraping [Music] some random corrosion up there some decoupling caps I imagine for the CPU in PCH me for circuits [Music] Eric it looks like mikta was made it to my church you know erica is actually one of the most is more McDowell than me and she's a female which actually I actually watch her I'm not gonna say what the name is but I actually do watch off a number of mgtow videos she is way more McDowell than any men that I've ever met which is odd because of the whole yeah I make sure he doesn't know about the wall I'm familiar with the wall hey you actually uses a think pad hey you oh you mean the other wall I thought you meant my favorite album from the 70s and all these are the connections we redo [Music] [Music] anyway for Erica to do this repair stream with an L I much prefer him to Lois go do paperwork or something I'm not trusting my laptop to that before [Music] but customer laptops get the energy actually do you think an L could handle it from here do you think so do you think that'll be an interesting stream do you hear myself do you hear my silence a little bit of green stuff over there I should I should be more committed to buy Apple products now right [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] all those little green points those are gonna corrode later and again this is gonna go through an ultrasonic cleaning but I want to make sure that when it does go through that ultrasonic cleaning that those don't want the the probe points don't wind up falling off with the dirt that's a big issue you know it's a very common question and I get it all the time and I should probably do a video on it which is why am i cleaning why am I not cleaning the board before working on it it's because I want to see all these things because I don't want that little pro point to come off in the ultrasonic cleaner I mean or not know where it is ok-hee Blair wants you to fix this board instead of me you want somebody with handsome Staten Island charm what do you guys like that Midway I already didn't know there's a no backlight part do you want to go over the randomly crashing part on an air in 2012 and I have no idea I know the person who asked how's it going John [Music] rather that the time [Music] okay now well we're gonna put this to the ultrasonic later but for now I'd like to see if this gets you a backlight and also a Wi-Fi oh I almost forgot I almost forgot do you want your machine to have a jtag connector on America if it doesn't need one you can take it off hook into the side of microphone okay if it doesn't need one you can take it off but if it's needed you can take it off die die yes [Music] that's gonna say Wow going off [Music] there's a Paul Daniels in my chat how's it going Paul Daniels [Music] okay oh yeah I can't believe I almost missed an opportunity to remove an innocent little jtag connector someone said selling that GTI got a premium on the store and it went on the ground randomly crashing kernel panic and people have realized so apparently that apparently the water tends to trend towards the mem vtt enable circuit which is why I could be randomly Colonel randomly beeping because if it would stop powering the memory your pods yet then it would look at the excellent lighting right we have call well trust me that was my that was my first instinct actually I don't even go to KFC myself I should have had the chat to a vote what's that [ __ ] is this Erica what really what what is this can you tell everybody what this is oh so this is okay so I tried to replace my Wi-Fi card myself I replaced my wife I caught myself and it still didn't work so I got this little USB Wi-Fi dongle and a plastic part the plastic part doesn't work anymore for sure rip it's served me very well and yeah now it definitely doesn't fit in but it was a very handy USB Wi-Fi dongle yes see it it goes in that way and I had this little plastic part but it broke off yeah I had to use a dongle my computer I I think it is yeah it's at a max or something like that right screw right halt I'm at uncle's watch you know we still haven't we're still watching haven't we've made a halfway through Erica stop I'm at all gonna post spoilers it's too late what you think you can't look at chatter we have to [ __ ] hex this one yeah I know I I don't think are you kidding me even if they ruin it we'll just ban them forever I guess that doesn't matter but then it'll still be spoiled I can't believe I'm screwing this together before I test it that's breaking some of the most basic rules okay let's just make sure backlight is no longer shorted so I don't blow a fuse that's the decent number so we have that together see if you turn on or if you beep wonder if the battery's dead okay how many apps do you take let's see unplug battery you take a hundred 80 milliamps and don't hate it she like burritos a lot oh here we go thanks that would be great if I killed your MacBook on stream you'd never believe me if I said it was X let's try that again Eric I'm gonna trash this piece of [ __ ] okay see if you get a light on the screen at least we're getting a backlight no no it was beautiful I thought I had fixed the beeping and why is the donation not showing up who manages these okay YouTube live alerts I don't know what that was what did I just get a donation I'm very sorry if that showed up Erica it's too late it's okay alright sign in wait let's just change this so that they can't see what it ever is your typing sorry Paul that's a door alright login let's see if you have Wi-Fi see if we can connect the Wi-Fi that's it's the resolution of our external monitor which you use it on external because it's an Apple product and it's dumb and it doesn't know to change the resolution and itself alright so let's see if it sees oh my god what is this desktop Erica your desktop has how many that is way too many icons all right so 1440 by 990 whoops I click the wrong one 1440 by 900 ok that's good so we have a backlight now let's see if we see Y sine arcs so see it sees Wi-Fi networks and it is a backlight so congratulations you've been working laptop but it's a Mac what it's Erica - Mac we got to get rid of this thing no Paul weighs them okay all right one two can I say rip that Apple right how else am I supposed to communicate with you we only communication I know here's some money to valet the buffet on a nice restaurant valet parking for a birthing oh I wonder oh by the way just for Kevin sake I figured see you on the next one thank you very much and as always I hope you learned something this video is brought to you by
