Repairing iPhones, Macbooks and even MSI Laptops

all right time to go live and get some work done good evening everybody most people won't be here yet but that's okay give me a chance to quickly get some iphone jobbies done cracky i hate this thing it's like you've got to plug it in three times before it magically comes back to life i know you can put a battery in them i think i'm gonna have to do that it's actually been surprisingly busy today with phones i think this is about the fifth one i've done today and i've got one more to actually repair something wrong with its charge circuit if i'm lucky it might just be a battery i'm kind of hoping it is actually okay that's good son of a now there it is it's going to say the cheap blighters left out the screen thingy the earpiece rather the mesh they hadn't it just fell out now youtube has really not been very good to me lately i've noticed seems like i've upset youtube and they're not announcing when i'm going live anymore it's quite annoying the longest time i would not do the iphone 7s because i was deadly worried about the touch id button i really did not want to risk being the one have to tell a customer i'm sorry i broke your touch id and now your phone is basically useless even though it's not that you know i mean once people get focused on a fault on something that was caused by someone else and not themselves then that's all they're gonna think about steve ben rodriguez eddie steve another steve hey jim miles barry terry christian all right seems like everybody just turned up at once uh it does seem it just seems to be getting worse lately previously people would get notifications within about a minute now it's taken around about let's see how long we've been running for three minutes i suppose it's not bad in the greater scheme of things but the only downside is then you get this three minute dead zone at the start of every video which means you have to go and edit it out or do something with it okay i'm just gonna heat this up josh i'll just heat these things up to with uh 250 on the hot air station seems to be a pretty good temperature point i'm just transferring that little piece of opaque window i don't know how seriously important that is but i do just generally prefer to transfer it if i can a lot of the phones that i work on now don't have it i think they've just it's been dropped by previous texts i can understand why okay good good no tap dancing to do not yet i don't imagine i'm going to unless i do encounter some situation where it's needed but at the moment i'm going to rest ah i did add some values for the 28.50 this morning so i've been kind of doing my bit hopefully there's been other people contributing as well i need to now start looking at working on the open board server open board data front end on the server side on the website so that people can you know check statistics or just do secondary things with that data maybe even being able to say lodge a request that the particular value is not quite right things like that early days yet nope that feels wrong but it should be so right that one's right travis the internet in general has been in a poor form lately at least around here like i'll go to watch my various usual youtubers and normally i can do 1440p 60 frames per second as in watch it without any troubles at all but the last couple of days it's been stalling out on me so i don't know maybe they're doing upgrades maybe there's too many people on the internet we need to start cullen but the internet is full no more it is funny when i started getting on the internet myself back in well 1990 or so you knew most of the servers by off by hand and you knew a lot of the people on those servers the other side of the world but then over time it became a little less personal and the anonymity started to come in and the great flame was started hey we fix tvs good to see you what's new about the house well the back patio room uh had its plastering finish today so we're just waiting for the plaster to dry and let's see and after that i'm trying to think they'll probably paint it so we'll decide on that yeah i'm not personally doing a lot myself i'm too busy with the software i mean this morning i was up till five o'clock in the morning working on flex board view still it's just the way i do things so i'd go full on with the software until i'm happy enough with it that okay i can sit back and just sort of incrementally make small improvements or fix small bugs but when you're actually in the thick of it and you're dealing with the core operations and databases and things like that i find i have to basically just keep going and going and going because if i stop it's too much effort to start up again just for one little thing you know trying to remember where everything is now i know you're supposed to document your code and i do a reasonably okay job of it and i break up the code into files that are pertaining to the functions that are in there but there's a lot of stuff that you keep in your head while you're working on it the stuff that like lets you know oh yeah i know where that bit of code has been worked i don't know where that data's been manipulated and then when you stop you sort of all that falls to the ground and you forget it and you have to when you come back in you have to sort of pick it all back up and remember everything again i do have to also work on the multimeter software like i've been trying to get the bk390 up and running so that produces the data file that flexboard you can read and i've had some success with that talking to a chap called john at the moment but there seems to be a bit of a strange collection i'm not quite sure what it is and it's one of the big reasons why when it comes to writing support software or the obs module program for multimeters it really is best if i have one of those meters with me because it if you don't have one of the meters with you it turns into like a two or three week debacle whereas if you have the meter with you it's over in a day or less okay this these cables are really popping out so they're gonna have to have a good old shove back in we do not want mr pinchy so these ones actually particularly bad just make sure we snare that in you gotta be so quick with that and naturally of course i realize that come here thank you naturally of course these tabs get jammed it's kind of it's kind of picking a lock back up just enough let the pins slide in hope you don't get a trap pin no something's obstructing there that's a little weird i must have missed something there oh by all means travis joe go ahead i mean just use them as a template you should be able to work out what i'm doing for the most part with the it's not the most optimal code by any means by the way i can't find anything that it's obstructing with it's uh you know it's not sophisticated code it's nothing fancy it probably breaks a few thousand conventions but it does get the job done and my goodness these are jamming up for whatever reason i don't know okay yeah that hurt get the old finger jammed in the phone those surging circuits okay well we've got a screen so that's a good start i started with this one being disassembled because when the person handed it to me this afternoon they said to me look we'll pick up tomorrow it's no rush i saw in the smash display that it was doing the dreaded uh the dreaded you've pressed it too many times lockout yeah so iphone is disabled but fortunately this one's just on the five-minute state and so i had to quickly come in here and shut the damn thing down all right so hopefully this will unlock itself in five minutes or so and hopefully the person will remember their passcode so it doesn't look even further let's see miles have you ever taken a part of tv before what the heck was that oh it's if they've got an alarm going and i cannot disable it oh that's hilarious that's just downright hilarious i'm gonna have to turn this off and you are silenced now that five minute things gonna have to reset dammit uh let's see yeah with um tv screens i'm presuming that's an lcd display depends what the sort of fault is most of the time the faults with the backlight circuit or the input power supply yeah travis i tried pressing the buttons unfortunately this one did not want to shut off which is really annoying at 10w uh travis don't feel too bad most of my code is like that i mean my code is out there for display to everybody on github and it'll give you a pretty good idea of how bad i am as a coder i mean i've got code that some poor people are still using 30 years on so for bastards most of the code that people are using is only about 25 years old now at this point there's programs that i have that i don't think i've touched for the last five years i know some people have sent me patches and i just keep forgetting to put them in there because i keep beginning to validate them so i don't want to just blindly accept pull requests so you know you need to go in and check that they're okay that they're not trying to drop some sort of thing in there that they're not supposed to sorry i just had to find the name of this person great okay that's done okay now we've got to get the next one so this one another seven plus um it accepts the charge but it's accepting about one amp it doesn't seem to actually be getting hot but it won't turn on and what do you know it turned on what the hell oh [Laughter] you know why it turned on because that's mine that's my iphone 7 plus this is the customer's iphone 7 plus i explains that i don't know why people leave okay so yeah this will take charge but it's not actually chaining on so i'm hoping it's a bad battery it'll be nice if it is because yeah it's simpler that way anyway that was fun good thing i didn't have anything on my phone that was gonna reveal things i do have an iphone xr that i should use but i'm sort of sticking with the 7 plus because it does have the bigger screen and i'm fairly sure i've already fixed up that seven plus with the audio chip and if if it doesn't then well i can fix that too okay i'm just gonna give this a little bit of heat it feels like this has not been opened before so i just want to soften up the edges a little bit normally i don't do this but unfortunately when i tried to stick the spudger in just then i could feel that it was a very tight screen okay like i said 99 of the time i never do this but when you get a bit of a tight one like that kind of helps to warm it up a bit otherwise you'll be replacing a screen as well hmm nope this is some sort of refurb at least i'm guessing it's a refurb i don't normally see that sticker in there and the battery's got a code printed on it which i don't normally see either and it's installed a little bit skew so this could be a refurb thing for all i know i mean maybe it is original apple but no no just kind of feels a bit refurby okay it has been dropped that screw there was all very loose so yeah what if the screen's just buggered hey mark good evening to you sir ipad pro screen you had to replace travis what are they like i haven't had one of those yet how are they the combined units now yeah just notices yeah this is definitely a reverb it's got a laser etched marking on it it's like mk 06 or something so but i got to say in terms of rebirth phones or refurbs it's not too bad looking this one see it dj okay i'm just going to get another seven plus screen hopefully i've got one hey memo come on sorry buddy yeah i know what yeah what you want to help me get a seven plus screen come on geez you're getting fat what are you five kilo now hello key okay there's the seven pluses yeah let's see looks like we've got originals left your brother's going to be right there don't you even try anything leaky there you go you two boys can play cranky oh they they camp out in front of my workshop and so whenever i step outside it's like daddy it's like no daddy's working you want to see loki yeah i can see what we can do about getting loki in here just hang on there he's yeah he's not as pretty as mo loki come here you've got people who want to see you behave yourself now all right there we go this is loki he is quite a troublemaker hey you've been over there yeah what'd you do he's like he hasn't been in here before much very little come on what you doing all right think you take it outside need to get outside yeah i think so too there you go thanks for visiting alrighty there's a bunch more work than i planned i think it's all right time to this jumper's getting a little warm it's ridiculous it's the middle of winter here and it's still damn hot now there's an excuse for cat hair on the macbooks yeah unfortunately it does actually blow through here on through under the um under the door and it's a real problem i was fixing up a screen on a 27-inch mac today an old 2010 model and it was actually very difficult to stop just small bits of fluff getting in there bits of hair and it was from one of them was from the cats and they don't ever go in that room that i'm aware of so it was very frustrating i do need to find myself a superior positive pressure clean room or something because it's a bit ridiculous and i don't like it to be honest i don't like that for the fact that you know i don't have to say to people i'm sorry you know there's cat hair on your stuff it's not very professional at all right so this screen works so i'm thinking that this screen has a fault in it perhaps maybe or maybe the battery is still not charging at all i'm going to put this on charge you can't see we're going to put it on charge for a bit longer see if it comes to life if it does screen if it doesn't something else we're going to stick alarm alarm phone back into its case stick that on the outbound tray ellie davis okay we'll just temporarily hold their original screen it's interesting i can't see any impact marks or anything like that but that's not to say it isn't dead so what we'll do is we'll get on with the msi that needs a repair because that one's been languishing in the workshop a little bit too long now let's get ourselves a container these things unfortunately are notorious for well these these have the physically attached to the main board jack so you have to frequently replace them they don't seem to take fatigue too well i don't know maybe it is a republic of gamers it looks like it's missing it's missing that smooth actually it's missing screws this thing's having a good life at least it's been used a lot hey stuart menzies and sam uh same hazardous conditions typically human biological type things you try to you wear the gloves because well even the human factor aside you really don't want a lot of the stuff that you're working on like fluxes and all that you don't want that on your body but then you get the human factors as well which you really don't want on your body that's not to say that you know i'm certainly not you know people aren't perfectly clean that's unreasonable we all do have a certain degree of biomass that is potentially contagious to someone else but the trick is you know you're kind of you're used to your own sort of thing and you don't know what someone's new stuff is going to bring about for you so i try to avoid getting it on me in the first place okay where's the battery in this thing come on come on i do love it when you get the seal broken okay what's this one this one's been through the walls there we go so they've got one terabyte 256 that let's get that battery disconnected it's starting to puff up i think it's starting to puff up how's that stuck down it's two-sided taped damn thing's got two side tape on it i honestly i'm not sure how i'm supposed to get that out you know what that can stay on there but this one has to come out yeah the heatsink's gonna probably have to come off god i hate this sort of design really low than the test designs where the main board is captured by things like the heatsink above it people may dislike macbooks and stuff but for the most part macbooks have a sensible manufacturing design and repair design i know and uh goes against popular hatred but unfortunately is the truth of it okay hopefully we'll be able to just slide the main board out hopefully not this keyboard something under there why have i got two-sided tape under here what sort of sick joke is this have i missed the obvious way to get this battery out someone told me i have uh watch wally or whatever your name is um the best way to learn and i hate to use other people's terms but basically go find something just that's broken you can get for cheap or for nothing and just try and fix it it's very hard to have a better teacher than the reality of trying to fix something yourself and certainly watch plenty of videos too at the end of the day you'll often find that practical learning is extremely valuable i swear i'm missing something obvious here because i can't see how this would be done normally it doesn't make sense that they would affix a battery surely that i can't remove i really need to actually drop some alcohol down here that's very unusual i feel like the battery's been this doesn't feel like an original battery oh yeah there's no markings on it or anything the originals gotcha well 90 gotcha maybe they didn't have any mountain brackets and definitely the batteries popped up look at that and yeah this is generic generic bango bang battery they adhered the flex to the board what the hell god i hate it when they do this sort of thing like i could have basically taken that main board out if that trackpad flex hadn't actually been bonded all right that was a lot of work for that now stuart means as far as i can tell the jack is actually jacked yeah yeah i can see it's missing the um the pin inside here is missing so that needs to be removed uh it's got hot glue on it so it's been removed before it means the acutely aware of how much of a pain this one is not surprising i've had a number of these like that sure hope i got the right connector yep looks good sad thing is most the time the positive pin doesn't actually fit into the board i have not been out ever find a proper replacement for it even though they're listed for this board it never seems to be the right one they're always got a short pin run than the long pin okay right now i need a slight thermally resistant prop these screws away elevate it a bit okay now the this usb 3 connector is going to be a slight problem sort of reluctant to do this at an angle because usually when things are falling at an angle when it comes time for it to actually cleanly drop out of the board it gets snagged but i can't really see there we go maybe we can try that okay now i've got to protect this usb connector and we need to change my multimeter ah not multimedia soldering iron to use the big chunky tip and then we're going to pickle the old lead-free slaughter well mind you it's probably actually already loaded but we're going to pickle it again anyway give us a chance of getting it out easier hey you neomara welcome [Music] the other bonus that we've got here is that we're going to be fighting against the um the hot glue okay that should add a bit of weight let's see and hopefully patience will serve us well here we just keep warming it up until it's ready to come out on its own so the hot glue is going to complicate things a bit though there we go good to see the fume extractor doing its job hey warren good evening to you right now we've got to get in and clear out those mount points because we can't have them filled with solder when we try to put the new one in obviously and it's best to do that while it's warm so we'll just get some wick we'll reuse that and for the most part we should only have to basically just do hot air wicking to get this out but we'll do it under the microscope [Music] crap now the only thing i pushed up there was the air the temperature stayed the same but i could just see that it was languishing a bit too much and the circuit board was actually starting to get a little bit uh soft [Music] easy peasy [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] without hot air wicking it is if you have a good wick it helps a lot if your wicks no good then you'll probably struggle to get it to pull the solder through also note that once the the pot or the hole that you're working on has heated up enough you often actually have to heat the wick see i'd move the hot air to the wick so that the wick becomes the hottest part and it draws up that solder so that's all good now we've got a nice clean set there that's just flux filling up that one we should be able to put our new connector in [Music] which i think how much of this is hot glue probably quite a bit hot glue is very useful but it does bring its own set of issues with it when you come to reworking a job yeah that's that's fun [Music] at least it's fairly easy to control it yeah india i suppose it's um the old practice sort of thing do it enough times and it can look a bit like that i mean it is certainly easier than other techniques i know that yeah if you try to use a soldering iron it is actually quite difficult to be able to get that happen [Music] okay so they're good yeah and as usual like i said that rear pin just does not fit so i'm actually instead of bending that pin i am going to clip it i'm going to clip it flush with where the um hopefully where it should go and then we're just gonna basically build a solder solder pool behind it there's almost no point trying to bend that one it almost it almost always fatigue cracks okay so clipped it get it back in there and then we'll just flood some bunch of solder on there and it'll be fine i'll avoid the warrant hey pedro good to see you yes i'll void the warranty i'm turning this pc into a mac what's the fastest you have sorry you can usually do straightforward screens so like 6s or something like that yeah 10 to 15 minutes you can usually get them done and they're good bread and butter jobs you can't deny bread and butter jobs because you've got to decide are you here to make money or are you here just to have fun if you're here to have fun then there's a lot of other better ways to spend your time but if you need to make money thank goodness knows most of us do then yeah then those iphone jobs are very nice to [Music] have ah that's going to result in a cold joint if not careful you need to see it's only just there firming up with this it seems like i'm holding the solder on there for a long time with the iron on there rather for a long time but really what i'm doing is i'm making sure that the solder wicks all the way through and you know you've done that successfully that when you take the iron away the solder should sort of like draw back into the joint like there's a suction force on the other side there you can see it doing there slightly of course you watch i'm going to flip it over and it's going to look terrible [Music] but yeah you can see how it's wicked through it even wicked through the hot glue that's pretty impressive now we've got to do those two ground pins interestingly this is actually a solder i don't use that much this is genuine 60 40 leaded solder it's not the 6337 stuff and it's quite a thick radius compared to what i'm normally used to these days you might see it pop through there it goes it just did it ever so slightly you can just sort of see the surface of the solar light just clinch a little bit and that's when you know you've managed to get it it's gone through to the other [Music] side there it goes [Music] [Music] okay the one on the left there didn't quite i'm sorry on the right rather didn't quite wick up as well as i thought so i have to do that one again that was the first one i did i think what happened is the flux ran low so we don't really need any more solder we just have to add more heat and give it a chance wow that's a terrible job [Music] the hot glue is messing with a little bit there we go [Music] no it still didn't come through uh well it is it's good enough in that case anyway i just would have liked to have been better but i guess we can't always have that okay now the fun part and that is setting up that oh wow this is really messy this board and it's really fun because i actually need to set this up at quite an angle and that's a pretty big fillet i've got to fill there standard workshop bench tool [Music] it's going to be a big phillip [Music] oh see how that looks on the other side all right it came through as a nice shiny ball that's good [Music] yeah i'm trying to think whether i'll lay a um reinforcement strand on there or not i think this might actually be all right but what i'll do is i'll follow the path of the previous situation and i will hot glue around this back side here because normally what will what will happen with these is they'll tend to break off these front connections so yeah the hot glue does stop that the brake that was in the previous one it was actually broke the pin out from the inside which is not something you can stop with hot glue or any other mechanical mounting in fact it probably is more of an indication that the mechanical reinforcement did the job properly unfortunately it just sort of uh took it out with the took out the connector as well [Music] sadly it depends on the solder too certainly lead free will have a greater inclination of cracking and also depends on the stress points [Music] if it does crack i'll cover it under warranty but that's a pretty big blob i put in there so um yeah hey mr magnet yes we're uh surrounding our way through this one hopefully he'll be proud it would certainly be better if this was all on a flex cable instead of being mounted onto the chassis but then again i wouldn't make money would i and yeah there's not a lot of satisfaction fixing up effects cable [Music] yeah it doesn't matter how much i'm going to secure this if they drop it it's still going to break there's nothing much i can do about that the main thing i want to avoid is them actually breaking the circuit board and so i need it to be secure enough that it will endure what they throw at it until the connector and pin breaks [Music] [Music] oops now we see we've got a problem here with this arm to see how the fatigue crack is showing through now fortunately that's not a critical part that's but that will basically sooner or later give up probably on the next drop actually i'll just have to tell the customers that look you got one more drop left in this we actually don't this was the last drop after this it's not going to come back [Music] [Music] and that phone that we were looking at before has not charged it's sitting at one amp constant and it's not charging okay so we definitely have a real problem there it's not just a bad screen or only a bad screen something else at play what's interesting is i can't actually feel any heat of it directly where this should be because that's five watts of heat going somewhere [Music] trim the old logic board yeah i could try to find something like that i don't think they have anything that's gonna be quite that thin [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hey retinol evening [Music] all right we're going to let that cool off it should do the trick should be nicely encased i might do the other side too all i'm doing is i'm just taking shavings from a hot glue stick and using the hot air the hot air is only set at 250 so it's quite a low setting you don't need much for hot glue the nice thing is it doesn't affect the actual plastics on the board [Music] it's not so much for mechanical strain i mean it is but it's more just to make try and make the whole thing sort of act more in unity [Music] try and sort of stop vibration as well [Music] yeah i don't think i want to part epoxy thank you very much i want stuff that i can remove um yeah trying to stop the vibrations and things like that the hot glue works well with because more often not with these connectors it's usually the um the back that snaps off just put that into the cooler um michael we haven't really got anything going at the moment because everything's just too everything's just too all over the place right now probably when we get to the point where we can do the cat shelter we'll be probably you know putting up some cameras but for now no uh time to put this thing back together now the part we all hate hey keith uh well we've already fixed it it had a a broken dc if the the center pin snapped clean out that and the fact that it's an msi i guess not sure what to do about that battery though it really kind of irks me the way that it's just stuck on with two-sided tape like that and yet i'm gonna have to do exactly the same to put it back what the hell is that noise i should do yeah paul i'm going to at least for the moment put that battery pack back i don't want to but uh considering that this person probably 90 of the time runs off the power supply um you know of 240 i don't think it's the biggest issue is more just that it's expanding but quite frankly i think this laptop is probably due for retirement any day not that that should make me choose otherwise but i will advise them but i suspect they'll have me that's that that's some nasty tape that is i might put some cushioning two-sided foam on instead [Music] just losing my orientation there this is the other thing i hate is when you've got to flip boards over to detach cables like this particularly edge mounted ones it's like what are you doing to me why are you making me do this this is absurd now you're probably thinking why not just let the board sit down on the chassis but the problem is that the cpu and the gpu the dyes are exposed and they're covered in what do you call it thermal compound and i don't want to risk chipping them for a start i said most pc designs unfortunately level you have they don't make your heart sing let's put it that way they're not the wild thing instead they just make you cry because you think you know you could have spent another 10 on the manufacturing side and done a much better job instead you end up with this yeah catherine they probably are expensive hey rula i'll find out i'll check my supplier and see what the costs are but i don't imagine it's going to be very favorable like i said i suspect they were probably just going there don't worry about it mate it's it's she'll be right she'll be right at least it's not too much of a drama to replace the battery i mean sure you've got to take that bottom deck off but that comes off pretty easy now all the all the damage it's sustained it doesn't really have a very strong clipping action it's more relying on the screws now which funnily enough is how they should have been originally okay i'm not going to try and dig that off i'm just going to there's no point trying to gouge my way around that chip because i'll do something dumb knock off one of the filter caps or something and then we'll be crying so we just got a little p blob p streak might as well check the fans while we're at it and see how many no i shouldn't have put that down already damn it let's see how many dust bunnies we've got and is it actually going to come off is there a fourth screw oh there's a fourth screw okay dust bunny wise we don't really have anything we just got that little fella which is good means it got cleared out the last time you normally expect to see a complete set in here okay jim take care sorry you got another doctor's appointment tomorrow hopefully goes acceptably well i guess sort of the best we can hope for jessica run all right hmm this is supposed to go under crud there's not supposed to be a magnet in there i know how the magnet got in there but there's not supposed to be one there i used to use magnets to collect you know various screws and stuff like that but honestly i found lately that i prefer not to have magnets holding the screw screws together i find it just sort of more often not gets in the way let me guess there was a screw is there a screw under here okay thankfully no screw under there i was half expecting there to be a main board screw sitting under the heatsink somewhere and i forgot to undo it that said i've kind of forgotten where they deemed things went now well memory you're not doing a good job tonight yes i did put new paste on i use toothpaste is that all right it looks the same as thermal paste so i figure it must do the same job i don't use mayonnaise anymore so you know that people should be thanking me for that mayonnaise was getting a bit expensive my wife didn't appreciate the funny taste after i'd done a repair job and she'd be like did you do something to this mayonnaise yeah there might have been some might have been some spillage from the dust bunnies use mouthwash in the ultrasonic yeah that could do that could work and i can gargle it at the same time as i'm cleaning my boards fresh leather safety flavor all right seriously um what where the hell did okay you've got to be one you're you're a little thread so you've got to be one see they don't even mark on the board where they're meant to go in the sense of normally they will put i have got a feeling there is definitely yeah you mongrel there really was there was two under there damn it there was two under there and i didn't see him just blindly put that heatsink and fan back on damn it oh well anyway to learn this is the other reason why i hate it when you do pc jobs because there's so many different pcs you rarely encounter the same ones twice in a sufficiently short period of time that you make these kind of mistakes almost with every job paul marrow sorry i missed that i must have turned away unfortunately oh well i did look but then i couldn't see the holes but then when i realized i had excess screws all of a sudden the holes became visible to me typical part-time as a comedian i don't know definitely get booed off stage right there and there little mongrels anymore that want to step up and claim the prize of being annoying it's got two fine pitch ones but uh they're gonna be for the hard drive okay you know unfortunately i can't actually cheat and put that thermal paste as is should be a few screams of horror that'll be good what i don't like about these sort of configurations where the screws are already in place and you okay that's good what i'm doing there is re-smearing the paste making sure the layer's really thin now have you ever done metal work and you're doing surfacing you know you you kind of rub back and forth like you're bluing it as opposed to bluing it when you're heat treating tempering sort of thing still feels like a few too many screws around here oh we've got the no the battery doesn't have any i'm should normally but it doesn't okay locked and loaded you we do have a macbook by the way tonight so it's not all non-standard stuff all right now the battery and i'll find some tape to use in it something nice ish we'll only put three pieces i think it should suffice foreign this is a nice foamy sort of acrylic adhesive tape it's like it's clear plastic but it's foam at the same time it's quite interesting super glued there that's harsh i don't think i'll quite go that far ah tonight's machine will be a magsafe ii it's a 1502 machine as far as i understand i'll have to double check now the hardest thing i find with doing this sort of stuff is actually getting the top layer off so now i think about i really should put that fourth piece on just realized i need it for stability i use this stuff in my macbooks now when i put the new batteries in if i've had to destroy the backing tape it's a little harder to get out though with the spudger so i do make my life a little harder from the future tech uh this is not i don't think this is tessa tape this one this is a high bond it's a foamed acrylic tape yep sticky both sides and it's about a mil and a half two mil thick it does look very so i do have tessa tape and it does look superficially very similar but the tessa tape that i have is substantially thinner than this this is got a nice thickness about it so i'll show you test the tape i have yeah i'm sorry this is tessa tape and it's substantially thinner whereas this stuff here i get specifically for the fact that it has a very fat cushioning i suppose you could consider a super fat tessa that sounds wrong way to hold up with that battery now the other thing you've got to watch with this particular type of connector is they have a really bad tendency that one of the sides of the pins will bend and it's like thank you so much for doing that really wanted you to do that and then you've got to get in there at the microscope and try and straighten it up and hope that you don't wiggle it back and forth too many times that you end up suffering a fatigue fault when it snaps clean off and they're like well that's it i'll just go jump off the building i just realized i don't think they've given me the power brick for this so i'm not sure what what power connector to use and it looks fat and chunky this one that actually is a very serious center pin on that yeah so i'm thinking that my usual uh what do you call it toshiba asus one will not work i can't even find it no it doesn't matter let's get these screws in get this job off the job job table looks like we need to magnetize that a bit better 180 or 120 most of these are usually 120 when you get to the 17 inch desktop type ones then yeah 180 starts coming up all the all-in-ones now the the voltage will be the 19 volt standard in this one i can see here 19 volts something amps it's either six or nine amps i can't quite read it if it's 6 that's 120 watt if it's 9 it's 180. 6.15 so it's a 120 watt unit what's the one tool i cannot live without my brain no that's the trouble is there's too many tools that are like that too many tools that are essential for the job if i really had to pick something things like you know the spudger this particular spudger it's going to be flat as attack that is so all right that's going to go now into the recovery room and we'll probably have some felines at the door ah no how disappointing did not have my fan club there ah girls we've got the iphone 7 to check the one that is taking charge but it's not charging here we go so there's a couple of options it could just be a battery what i might do is actually get the infrared camera on this and see where it's heating up we don't need the screen for that task but we do need the infrared camera come on let's pop some charge into this see what happens now we've got a lot of reflections going on there but uh we'll see if we get a warm up elsewhere see what it's drawing and now it's drawing nothing so it feels kind of tri-star-ish but i don't trust that it's going to see if it starts suddenly picking up heat i'll go get a replacement battery sometimes it can just be as simple as that yeah it's oscillating between 140 and 50. okay ah well duh i didn't have a connector so that that was a bad start by me whoops let's try that again all right now it's drawing the one amp the question is to see whether that battery heats up or not and while we're waiting we can have a look at questions have you tried the chinese ones thinking of getting the hdi 101 200 cheaper than the floor one pro and double the resolution so what is a 240 um [Music] yeah what is it 240 by what so this is what i can't work out you look at this and there's no clear indication of where that heat is going but there is five watts going into there somewhere now i don't believe it's that camera area that um makes no sense in this particular instance it's more reflection than anything else just quieten it down a bit and try find the hot spot yeah it's definitely it's drawing a full amp at five yeah so five watts does not hide it's a lot of heat to be in a phone let's see what it's like on the other side see if it was tri-star then i would actually expect no power or 200 milliamp or something like that you know yeah this think i'm going to take i'm going to have to take the board out and find out where that 5 watts is going because the infrared camera is distinctly inconclusive at this stage not through any fault of its own it's just it's probably the heat is coming up from the other side of the main board and of course naturally it's obscured by the chassis so yeah it makes sense so now we've got the joyous task of taking the damn main board out hooray don't we just love doing that 320 by 240 wow hmm what's wrong bob don't like x whether you're anti-ludite nothing wrong with x works perfectly fine i've always wondered about people who don't like x because of the fact that it's 30 plus years old i mean i get it it does have its issues but i think for a lot of the time particularly those trying to push weyland they're overstating the severity of those issues and trying to create scenarios in which validates their desire to push x away but the thing is the end of the day it's been around this long and people still haven't managed to displace x yeah miles i'd be worried about them fudging the numbers a little bit yeah i fully expect they'll be upscaling that or something like that you know for all i know it's probably an 80 60 sensor and they're quadruply upscaling it and would not surprise me one bit i remember when there was all the rage and fashion to write unix off in general it was like oh eunuchs is gone the way of the dinosaur etc etc and well it's still around it's just one of those systems that pretty much won't die i mean by all means you know put a pretty wrapper on it because realistically unix in general is not entirely user-friendly it's very administrative friendly or tech friendly but certainly not overly user-friendly these days we do get intimidated by the command line well that was weird that was like magic just then ah lori i hate all these multi layers of screws okay so and then there's one under there as well but i think we can get away with that one apples uh apples apple is closer to unix but yeah i suppose your statement stands apple is close to linux given that linux is not truly a unix at least because it hasn't been certified as such but we'll call it unix-like yeah there's certainly plenty of ways to argue against things with technicalities at the end of the day it does a pretty good job and it probably is responsible for a great deal of the revival of people using or looking at unix type systems again it is funny that yeah linux is somewhat ubiquitous but not on the desktop on the desktop it just quite make it who knows maybe windows will use it as their kernel okay finally got that out oh sorry folks no wrong one there you go it's all out now yes apple is a bsd variant i've been perfectly happy running with unix systems for the last crikey how long now 90 yeah 30 years last 30 years more than happy running unix systems okay i'm gonna need a dock cable uh please tell me i put a battery in yes i did i do consider myself actually quite lucky for the fact that i grew up at around about the right time to see the transition from computers being these really relatively speaking now looking back antiquated units with just switches on the front panel to program in through to the little z80 machines like the zx81 through and the commodore 64s and all that sort of stuff through the first pcs and then you know it's actually i consider myself very lucky to have had that experience of growing through all of that i've got to say that i'm glad we've got what we got now and i can't say i want to go back to that old stuff i know some people get nostalgic about it but not me i'm like i'll take my high resolution screens and goods processes and global communications thank you hey paul how are you how sorry ball and sidekick yeah i do um ballen pascal formerly turbo pascal and borland c c plus plus i think i bought every single release of those from certainly bull and pascal from release four and then uh i couldn't wait every time they'd bring out their new release now you get that whopping great big box full of a billion manuals and it was great uh did most of my programming start up you know started around about that kind of phase i mean before then i was doing basic and assembly for the various small machines but when borland came out with these ball and pascal and ball and c packages physical box packages it was fantastic i was at university around about that time let's see okay we need [Music] the yeah that was good value too i think about 130 dollars for the package it was excellent stuff and this is going to be an unpopular opinion but i think when they went to delphi they basically ruined it the concept was great the rapid application development it was fantastic but i think the fact that they never updated their widgets and icons eventually by the time we got to like the mid-90s already i mean only been out a couple years already delphi was looking pretty antiquated and childish in some ways okay what do we got yeah we're doing the five watts here oh but don't miss john all right so something's heating up in the this area up here so it's definitely not tristar so we've got some bad behavior going up here yep so i'll be honest i don't know what i'm dealing with up there sorry john did i miss something important there john lockhart okay all right john just didn't want you to feel like you had to be silenced over something hey creative visuals you still got your zx81 that is cool i never had a zx81 but i had the local similar-ish type machine and that was the um i'm going to get demonetised for saying this but it was the dick smith vz200 and then subsequently the dick smith vz 300 came out and so i cut my teeth mostly on that and then i did get my first pc which of course was the 4.77 or with the 10 megahertz turbo button 8088 i never had a 80 86 machine but um the 88s were good enough for what i was doing i still have the commodore 128. now that's a computer that sort of it should have been more successful but i think what was the problem that killed it was it just that it was too expensive or that people were just more than content of the 64. yeah greg um did did ballen sell out or that the first thing they did i remember is they changed their name to in prize and was like why why did you guys do that you just took your good name that had a lot of market recognition and momentum and you go and change yourselves to in prize which everybody's like what the hell is this and they spent a whole goodness knows how much money that cost to do the name change and delphi just languished and languished and languished um and then of course microsoft visual c or visual basic i should rather say instead came along and basically started eating their lunch at quite a rate and then i believe they tried to change back to balan but the gap was just too big and everybody had moved on and just like my surgical knife is moved on somewhere there it is oh um os2 was my other passion os2 warp was in particular quite good just unfortunately that microsoft pulled a pretty damn smart swifty on them and basically left them dead in the water too made ibm look pretty like well what are we gonna do now guys nothing that was some seriously smart business work by mr gates at the time but at least i think it was him that did the jumping around to make that happen ah and i don't like this i do not like this because it is very clean and is that a no that's not i almost almost got yummy steak to then got all excited over over here that looked like a crack all right so i guess we will heat this up and not heat this up connect this up see what in here gets bright uh don't like my chances hey flying skull back when mobile fans could be dirty yes carrying around their great big packs on their back i think the trick with those two it was a little bit different in the fact that it was a multi-process but single user system and so it found itself it couldn't effectively compete with windows after the chicory that microsoft pulled and unix already had the multi-user multi-process worlds sorted out so they were kind of a bit lost there and it was a very good single user multi-process system but it just didn't have it was a little bit too late and um the momentum was definitely going in the way of windows and especially once microsoft office hit the market that was basically it that was the end of everything microsoft office is probably what i would consider to be what one microsoft the domination of the pc world and i mean i know word perfect brought out there sweet and all that sort of stuff and ibm brought out their lotus suite and things like that but nothing was able to compete with microsoft office it was and it was difficult because it was an example of if you do things professionally you had certain standards and you know things are done right or whatever and then yeah like if you use wordperfect 5.1 and you're an office assistant legal assistant stuff like that yeah everything was done very properly and then this microsoft office comes along and says to hell with all that i'm just going to go wild and crazy here and make it easy for everybody to do anything and of course the everybody's make up 90 odd percent plus of the market and they all went hey this is great this is a hell of a lot easier than microsoft word sorry word perfect 5.1 i'm going to change to this and that was basically the death knell well they got their monopolistic practices by the power that was given to them by the people who decided that office was better now i mean bob it was yeah as i said smart business i mean ethically sure there's issues there that's unfair and all that stuff but in terms of business strategy if you're going to take ethics out of it which most businesses corporates do it was brilliant okay now i've got heat showing up there you kidding ah that's the p mick going crazy there i don't like it when the pimik does that um bad p mc now the pmic was getting all hot so that's not a good thing let's see if we can have some chance of understanding where the heat's coming from maybe we can you know suss out what area under the chip it is and basically what possible uh what do you call it what possible lines power lines it's on it seems to take a little while to kick in there but honestly it just doesn't feel like 5 watts though that's the thing that really is baffling me here it does not feel like 5 watts it is warm but yeah if that's genuinely five watts there's no way you can the big white spot is normal there should be no way you can keep your finger on that not with 5 watts the only thing i can think of is this is actually under the cpu there's a cpu issue there's a fair bit of warmth coming actually from the speaker amp area we're just going to peel all the shields off on this one because quite frankly it's not giving me any truly good hints here i don't really want to inject anything yet it's too early in the game of diagnosis to do that because we don't even know where we're going and alcohol is certainly an option but once again i want to get a better idea of what's getting cooked up here because the fact that i've got five watts going in and the infrared camera is not immediately bloodhounding onto one spot is a bit of a concern there's a couple of things that could cause that now one is that it's like i said the cbu the underside of the cpu somewhere like that and you don't get to see the direct issue instead you just sort of get to see the heat building up as a dissipating factor the other one is that it is a hot spot but it's actually hidden by one of the shield edges although normally that still glows out pretty strong with the infrared camera i'm trying to spot if there's anything obvious in here and like i'm looking at this overfill sometimes if there's something really hot it will have a tendency to change the texture and color of it but nothing obvious there even genuinely disinclined to remove the cpu shields but like i said i feel like i'm gonna have to because i need to strip everything off get a better view of what the heck's going on here it could be a nand cap fault given that we know that this has been dropped it would not be um it would not be unheard of for it to be a nand cap fault okay so we're going to slice down there lift up this silicon edge here that holds that down and then take that shield off uh barry i doubt it'd be a fuse on the grounds of the fact that we actually are getting a full one air i hate doing this i really hate it just feels so wrong to cut this okay where's my grim reaper hey josh yeah i genuinely don't like doing it it just i mean i hate the fact that microsoft uh microsoft i hate the fact that apple actually did that i know it's supposed to be for the emf stuff i still don't like it all right all right now to get this shield off we can do the things like the crystalline drop method or the other ways i just like to jam a pair of fairly heavy tweezers and just put the tip under there and then start doing the rounds yeah it's a real concern that this is a pretty clean looking board a bunch of tri-stars hanging out they're dead by the way if you ever do iphone 7s do not heat that thing up don't get hot air near that thing just don't you'll never get one back down it's um it's one of those horrible packages that has a lower melting point internally than pretty much everything around it so once you remove it you're not going to get a replacement back down without it internally dying shorting okay maybe someone can but it's a pretty good chance you're not going to be able to i was lucky i was doing a data recovery job and fortunately i didn't have to put it back on but it drove me insane for quite a few hours because every time i would pre-check those coils that's in here the coil packs and they'll be fine and then by the time i got them back onto the new board they were either open circuit or they were shorted and i was like what is going on here and yeah that's what it is hi zam thank you very much for the 349 euro thank you i was quite happy i picked up some sales of flexboardview last night because that was after i've finally made the new versions the alpha 1300 series onwards available in general and that was good to see people buying it because it does have a new price tag on it that might upset some people hey bill and michael all righty okay well we're gonna have another look at this under the infrared camera and see if we can get a little more um accuracy on where the hot spot's coming up i might disconnect it from the tripod and use it with just by hand and that way i can bring it in closer to the board and get a bit of a better look okay stuart thanks for being here i'll see you tomorrow if i'm on i will both do you have a support curve well gerbers don't actually have any gerbers are just basically they're not raster files but effectively they're just polygon files that's all they're not really data files they don't have any information about what the net names are or anything like that the normal gerbers and there's already a very good gerber program up out there for unix so i don't have any inclination because basically once you load a gerber into flexboardview there's nothing you can do with it it's just it's just an image it may as well be an svg image in inkscape so that's why i haven't bothered doing any gerber support because one there's already a really good gerber program in linux which means it should be available on most operating systems and two it doesn't really match with what flexboard is all right um my channel at 30 000. i probably don't want to hear my thoughts on that one basically in some ways i'm kind of like okay i need to make better content content that's more interesting content that actually has more content per minute you know concentrate the content i need to edit videos a lot more mind you as a casual streaming channel i think yeah 30 000 is doing okay after what is it five years now i kind of am a little bit um thinking it should have been a little bit higher by now but i keep losing the momentum of doing good videos editing good videos and things like that because while a stream casual stream like this is fine for everybody to participate for the person going past the channel they're going to look at this three hour video and they're gonna go well this is boring as hell so i need to be able to distill the live streams afterwards into a more compact useful quick video but of course that all that all just takes effort and that's the problem i just the last couple of years i just simply don't have the time to put into it because i've been absolutely crazy trying to make sure i like get the money for the house and yeah there's been a lot of things even simple videos can be surprisingly yeah take a surprising amount of effort to do i mean i've done a couple of hundred of videos that have edited but yeah at this point i'm kind of like okay i really dear camera why did you do that sorry i'm about to bring it up and it just decided to stop running okay let's go let's go let's go let's see schematics there we go all right what are we looking at there okay so that's kind of cpu edgy it's definitely the hot a hot spot on the edge is kind of good maybe not so okay that's an offset issue i've got there so that's actually further in just hang on there don't okay so that's dead in the middle of the pch i've noticed there's a chip down here that's getting warm it's kind of the first one first one after those two silver ones okay take note of that and yeah the center of the cv so we've got a real problem here this is not just some simple shorter cap i mean maybe there is a shorter cap but this is something in the middle so i would say yeah i don't know what to think about this one actually we'll have a look under the microscope while it's running but yeah i don't like the don't like our chances on this one if we're really lucky it might just be a cap next to the pmic again don't let my chances that will try use the finger method still doesn't feel like 5 watts 5 watts something should be getting quite hot no all right at this point uh i'll be honest at this point i'll probably ship this off to um after bill down at a1 mobile repairs and he can deal with this i'll um i'll send jason vilmer or someone like that a message and ask them if they've got any opinions which i think what my other option could be it's usually because the display works so like if i put the display on it and i press the power button it will come up and just simply say we're not charging we're not charging we need more charge you know with a little connect the charger symbol sort of thing so that sort of thing is all working but it's just gobbling up the power some for some reason now the battery's already been changed that one that we just used was a new battery uh what are we going for time okay we're past midnight so it's probably time for me to pull out a macbook it seems like a safe time to bring out a macbook but realistically i'll say to the person the owner of this i'll go look unless you're actually after data it's probably just going to be better to walk away from this one now i know you're probably saying well what do you want to do that for you know you lose that on the job or something like that but realistically i've got enough of those jobs in this workshop i've got enough of those well if i dig around and try and find it i might be able to fix this thing what i need more of are the jobs of opening it up going i know exactly what's wrong with this let me fix that and it'll be out in two hours that's the kind of work you actually want if you're running a business and you want to you know stay keep your doors open if you start getting into these little cute puzzles then you will not stay viable for long so it's a choice you know and the choice i have to make here is that i want to stay viable all right and by staying viable i've got to find this macbook this big challenge of the night here we go i found it i'm a winner hey chris how's it going chris i already repaired something all right chris you can tell me you're the you're a iphone genius we just had the iphone 7. it's heating up it's using five um five watts one and five volts off the charge off the lightning port it's heating up on the middle of the p-mech and on the cpu and that's with the new battery with a new dock what else was it if you power it up or you try to power it up while it has been charging for an hour or two which doesn't seem to do anything it will show you the you know connect um battery charging symbol and things like that so that all functions but the weird thing is it's using five watts of power and it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere so it confuses me it's like i'm expecting some sort of hotspot but it's all just being dissipated somewhere between the pmic and the cpu and i don't know where it is so and that frustrates me all right so what's the deal with this one will not power on okay let's pop it over and have a look hey kratis chris shouldn't you be even you should be at work shouldn't you what are you doing on chat so if directly connected battery connector with power supply it won't boot or it um doesn't seem to want to but then i didn't try with the power supply system i'll have to do that in a bit the only other thing that got warm that i could see was a chip that's um i don't know what the chip is i'll have to check the board view and it wasn't that hot but it did still show up relative to the rest of the thing let me have a look see flexboardview oh it's a seven plus damn it uh i don't know if i've got a working seven plus one no somehow i don't think i do god i hated how we can't get access to the stuff we need well i'll show you on the ipad 7 it'll be close enough where am i getting these bvr e's from oh yeah actually here qualcomm i think this chip here u21 oh that's tigress oh oh now that i've seen that as tigress maybe that's just what's at fault okay tigress is probably cactus mark i'll catch up for you later now for some reason i you know didn't think it was tigress my bad then again it might be functioning and something else is a miss yeah i just didn't think it was tigers for some reason because i'm an idiot all right let's get back to things that i actually can be sort of maybe trusted with namely macbooks okay it's an interesting piece of junk there let's get the battery disconnected it's a bit late now for me to be working on an iphone so i will do dammit always do that these batteries right use a plastic spudger folks don't use metal if you use metal doing what i just did then it will be here in this workshop getting fixed this is a 2015 a1502 you can tell by that shield also by that shield i think tigers is your charging vending buoys it's your iso yeah i realize tigris is my charger i know a lot of people think that tri-star is but it's like no it's not yeah i'll replace tigers tomorrow okay when you take the drives out make sure they're marked so that if you accidentally drop them off the edge of the bench or something like that you don't lose it and go whose drive is this it doesn't have a name on it i'll use it for myself you wipe the customer's data and then things get very bad for you from there we're going to plug this in to the power supply see what we get tigress is more common on your phones okay good to know but this is a seven plus so that's still pretty ancient green light no fan spin 200 milliamps interesting all right that's an interesting state for it to be in hmm we'll disconnect the daughter board sometimes that can be at fault we're going to take it out anyway but the daughter board can often be a culprit on these machines okay that's disconnected all right so that's interesting that's oh yeah there goes 200. the other thing to watch on these is that the fan will not spin until it actually is pretty much roasting when i first started doing macbooks we had one of these machines and it went back and forth between myself and the supplier the other business a couple of times because they kept saying the things not spinning you know it won't spin so it's spinning it's just you've got to wait until it gets to about 90 degrees before it starts spinning all right well we are not getting a blink okay so we're in a so hopefully an so state pretty close to an so state but we're not getting any sort of cpu activity all right so we're going to take this out and have a look see what's going on it could be a multitude of things uh chris you're still down at one on one store now i know you did go to back to one store but i just wasn't sure whether you're planning on going back to two or whether you've given that sort of thing up for now okay disney keyboard disney trackpad disconnect camera power it up again just to see if any of those caused anything businesses doubled okay well that's good you basically you say you've got your objective which was to increase business without having to have the extra store that's brilliant but you're doing macbooks now aren't you stealing my business though to be fair you know it's like sure i do fix them but the numbers i fix are very minimal and part of that is because i spend more time working on the software side of things you know doing flex board view or coming up with tools for everybody hey toes tech that's my excuse but i think it is now time for me to start pushing more heavily into advertising and getting more people on board with sending jobs to me okay that stays on there you don't undo that screw just leave it on there and bring the fan out when you take the whole assembly out you do everything fix the dyson vacuum cleaner i need a software i don't want to move this especially not to kentucky if i'm going to go to the continent of america then i'm probably going to move to canada it's far more my kind of thing okay brought out can't see any corrosion marks there's a little liquid there interesting yep found liquid okay it's probably going to be on something like a sus line uh i'm definitely definitely a canada person sorry folks i'm just telling it like it is okay what is this liquid wow that's uh huh uh huh yeah that pretty much would where did that come from where did they come from where to go there's liquid on the board okay this would be a 49-24 well in this case it wouldn't really be a spillage this is something else this is this is why it's a little bit perplexing to me funnily enough because of the fact that it is a spillage all right let's go to schematics this is what it is lcd panel yeah edp okay that doesn't really explain it not starting apart from the fact that maybe it's holding down a line that's certainly a problem but it should not stop it from running mind you what other lines are on it okay so okay if 3d 3so pch gpio has been pulled down that would definitely cause a problem so what's that let's see a330 let's see what the diode mode on that particular little chap is i think it's not cracked it's just looks like it's got a hair on it i'd say okay dad mode is active and we want to test that cap wait what am i on the right side of the board should i say the correct sides make the orientation what i've got here yeah all right okay that makes more sense now 0.34 so it's not pulling it down i mean there's certainly a mess and it is bleeding i don't know is it is it cracked nope that was just a hair chris i want my five bucks for that one buddy it was not a crack didn't think it was the power of having the stereoscopic view here when you guys are stuck with a monoscope all right now like i said that's that's not a nice bit of work there that could be causing it but i'm going to check the rest of the board in case we've got a real smoking gun somewhere is certainly not pleasant it's done a number on the board now that on the other hand i might consider to be more likely to be at fault oh great so this is going to be fun because basically that means our key yeah all right see now that's more of a killer that means on the chassis the damn keyboard backlight is effed up if we're lucky we might be able to rebuild it but no i don't know six million dollar man might be a little expensive on this one damn it back up back up no no i might be able to cut back later i'll just see if they're willing to live without a keyboard backlight but i might be able to you know cut this back here and then reattach but [Music] yeah that there is far more likely why things are wrong yeah these are no fun i mean what liquid that was that's really really messed it up i mean that whole area has to be done again on the other side as well but um yeah all right so that's a 99 smoking gun i'm still going to check over the rest of the board just in case you never know and chris longstone is me five bucks because he was a little bit too adamant about it being a crack on that chip but it was just a piece of junk that said if we're playing that game i've probably lost a couple hundred bucks to chris by right now from watching his videos by the way chris you ever gonna be doing youtube videos again we do kind of miss your uh particular flavor of youtube now this is not the it's not really the nicest connector to deal with in the sense that it's it's a thicker little sob [Music] it likes to get upset when you try to remove it [Music] mostly because you've got the lvds here and you've got the solid state drive connector there and you don't want to have either of them get messy [Music] now getting it off isn't quite so bad because you can just run some lump solder here oh i do love my fume extractor look at that it's just drawing away that nastiness [Music] that i'm gonna do shields up and hot air hey urium dip [Music] victoria lived there for a couple of years then i went out to um centurion you know there's a bit of a nice nice change to go to centurion compared to pretoria looks good donkey [Music] glad to see i can still sort of remember my afrikaans slightly i know to swear still does that count that's all about the first thing you ever get taught when you get to south africa and then you get to say thank you and please [Music] thank you [Music] that was a bit tricky to get off took a little longer than i wanted can you fix a fan or a problem in a laptop depends on why you've got a fan of this unfortunately such errors yeah there's so many possible causes for them you can't really just sort of go oh yeah i can fix that will you look at it yes can you fix it depends on why it's happening yeah we're going to leave this disconnected for the moment [Music] we'll return to that another day hey tim how's it going tim just had a nice crispy fried um yeah 49 24 and we've got this as well now before i actually desolder that i'm going to put some 80 20 alcohol water mix and brush off most of that coke because i don't really want that coke turning into carbon [Music] yep because if you hit it with the hot air it's just going to carbonize it which means you're going to end up with well little carbon tracks look at that it almost looks like it's perfect see big difference in fact i wonder if it is bleeding even [Music] well i'll lift it up and have a look anyway [Music] you can tell i used water in that alcohol because you can see it's like leaving little pools everywhere but if you don't if you don't use the water one then it will not get rid of things like coke you have to have a little bit of water in your alcohol mix to get the coke to lift true of most drinks in fact okay there's a bit of bleeding going on there so [Music] yep use 70 all right more game than i am i pretty much limit mine at 80. [Music] come on hurry up heat up come on i'll do it's terrible but it would do the hot air will fix everything i just gotta find a donor 4924 hopefully this one will also have that connector but oh wow this one actually has the connector that's pretty rare for me oh you right but now i see why you're using 17 70 that makes sense oh that is a one ugly connect no i don't think i'm going to use that chip but i will use that connector so we'll take this connector off in a way that should make everybody cry because i like doing it this way because it makes everybody cry [Music] oh yeah i've long since stopped using ipa as a post ultrasonic wash yeah for me it's ultrasonic wash in the water and goes into the oven i don't know why ipa leaves that residue but it definitely does i don't know whether it's actually you know i just realized i can't use this one see that pin there that's recessed back that's no good it's probably an nc pin but i don't care it's no good take it back i thought that as well tim and you know maybe that is the case but i've also noticed it even on very fresh yeah brand new ipa and you know where you wouldn't expect any flux i mean you're right flux does leave a residue to once it's suspended into the rpa [Music] all i know is that boards come out so much better when it's just water and then oven [Music] and how many people have been screaming heart attacks watching that people again he can't do that you shouldn't be doing that don't don't take the connectors off from the front heat it from the back and so you don't have to that's one way of doing it but you know if you actually can control your heat then you can do it from the front you just got to be patient no you're not allowed to do it that way i'm going to complain to louis rossman and the elders of the macbook report repair world are going to come after you and take your license away [Music] it is funny what people can get upset [Music] about [Music] and that's a wrap [Music] you do 260 what do i use i use 420 420 at um what was it 420 and 80 from quite a distance but yeah the key of course is you know tim does it his way i do it my way the key is that the part goes down properly and it doesn't get melted so he probably puts these a bit closer whereas i keep mine a bit further away in the end as long as you control it so you don't melt it then all is good yeah everybody has their own way and yeah the world would be a lot better if more people understood that concept i mean there are rough guidelines certainly you know if you don't if you've never done something before then it's good to like have someone say well you can do it this way but it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be that way some things you have to do a certain way but most things probably there are alternative options find something that works for you as long as it works for you and produces a proper result as opposed to doing a hack job that is of inferior uh an inferior outcome or strength or stability then okay you know you got a problem there but if it works and it works properly then go for [Music] hey margaritaville hey where have you been lately and just to make you all rage that is actually sac 305 solder i used on those pads it is not lead solder [Music] damn my eyeballs are out of whack compared to the camera i'm sorry [Music] yeah unfortunately um was it uh mr soder was displaced yesterday or was the day for the day before um yeah just the way it goes sometimes all right let's see if this actually at least gives us a cpu boot now because remember before we were getting up into the you know proper power state but we weren't it just wasn't letting the cpu run so let's see if we actually have any cpu activity which means we have to actually get the damned mag so let's hope i've got one in here it's a bit i do not have the mags if i need in here no spare chipmunks spare hakko keys money battery board from um don't know if you don't know what that one's from right so no mag safe there which is kind of funny because i could have sworn i had one in there all right just have to take it from the chassis there miles pegged the horn the nest a few too many times that's fundamentally what it sort of came down to yes i mean honestly i have a problem with you know a bit of banter you know you get used to hecklers and you wouldn't even put him in the heckling category just you know someone who came in and set the lower boundary on expectations but the lack of understanding and the attitude with regards to the open board data collection system yeah it was just accumulated to too much anyway let's see if we have any luck here we want we want a green blink fan spin's not going to happen at least i don't imagine it will come on blink blinky yes there we go green blink we're alive all right oh look at that in the fan spawn okay so that's that's fixed now the real challenge here is going to be what we're going to do about the keyboard connector for the backlight it's not super critical but it is a function of the machine so we're going to shave back that connector and see if we can get a hold of those two pins now miles if only they were all that easy but we all know that that's just not gonna happen that way now what really doesn't help is yeah i mean that connector's got to be replaced and i'm right next to the there yeah it's yeah it's not looking ideal for me let's look at the metal plate and try and get that assuming the back light even it should do i'd be surprised if it wasn't it should have just you know it just kept burning away that's all ah my brain is telling me i need to remove the screen which is a bit of a pain it's not the biggest pain but it's it's more work aluminium tape the only trouble i worry about with a lot of this is that when you're doing the hot air rework it is amazing how many times that hot air just manages to sneak its way around one little crevice and before you know it you've completely ruined your clutch cover and i'm just not in the mood to have to put a replacement i mean it's easy enough but you've still got to take the screen off anyway so i may as well sacrifice the time with get the screen off now then having to do it and also having to replace the clutch cover now i hate doing these so easy on these ones to just do it slightly wrong and then pink there goes your wi-fi connector and you're like damn you wi-fi connector gee i hope there's no personal information there we go okay i have no idea what that is that looks like the inside of a push button for battery thing you're on the 1278s and whatnot where they have the little battery indicator on the side that little thing look like that so i don't know where that came from or why i've retained it in there but i'm just not sure why it popped out i'm gonna go low and slow you really do not need a lot of heat with these they don't have a lot of thermal um they don't have a lot of thermal mass so they come up pretty damn quick how did they get maximum sorry obviously hmm i also don't want flux getting down into the keyboard if i can help it looks like i might need a little more [Music] okay so those two traces actually came from the inside which is kind of useful i'm just going to check the schematic for that connector this is our ground ground boards preferences search okay we really don't have any data on that one oh well okay did i lose my live stream then hey micro mage no just it just all of a sudden went really quiet on this side time for the micro pencil [Music] [Music] that's all that coat coming off it yeah that looks like carbonized flex which is not good because that's conductive if it is all right so there's our two points that we want to use just cleaning out the carbon over here so we just need to run these out and that should hopefully let us put the connector down and capture them uh let's see just trying to think of the ideal wire to use in this case i could try some rebar rebar might i'm a little worried that reba might be a little bit too fat but we'll see hey jose well we'll give the rebar a shot it might work [Music] anthony yeah it's moderately late it's what is it uh one o'clock in the morning so it's mind you compared to lately with my programming i've been up to four or five in the morning with programming so it's not too bad just reorientating this so that i can [Music] [Music] so the flattening it i have considered like drawing it through something i think it's certainly a viable option would help if i could hold it's that's a terrible connection i'm not going to rely on that [Music] breeze [Music] okay that's better [Music] there miles i think it's just a bit of luck [Music] i don't think there's much no it's just pure luck that i'm not killing people i [Music] guess [Music] well this is going to be fun because yeah i've obviously got to get the connector back down on here i may have to actually individually solder the connector rather than hot airing it [Music] that said yeah doing this is far easier than some of the amazing stuff i see people do with iphones i mean i am just constantly left in awe with what some of those people do oh i've just lost my wire and there it is [Music] [Music] i know it's out of focus i'm sorry it's not a good connection um both of these pins might be redundant i'm not sure let's see these two this is go switch over to the board view so these two represent these two up here so that which is also there and that so yeah i mean you're right they are redundant because the ground is well and truly covered and the backlight's in two places but that could be a trick it may be see you don't know maybe in the keyboard this side runs off to one side of the keyboard and this side runs off to another side of the keyboard so you may end up with the keyboard that's only illuminated half [Music] i don't know very likely the ground is redundant but the actual backlight output pin may not be yeah i said don't quote me on that stuff because i really don't know certainly one way to find out would be to test okay that's a much better connection that connection i actually like obviously we're going to have to uv cure this i don't seem to be having the greatest of luck with my uv cure lately it just seems to constantly be it just keeps flaking off so i don't know whether i'm gonna run that maybe i've had it for too long or something i'm not sure all i know is it doesn't work very well [Music] so that's not quite what i wanted i'm just spreading it out so that i can thin it down not because i need to spread it anywhere it's just i just want it thinner so so takes a bit longer these are led uvs obviously not laser the upside of the led ones of course is that you get greater greater spread of the uv light compared to the laser uh if you want schematics or board views check badcaps.net that's where most of us go bad caps so it's getting late i can feel myself slowing down you know when you get tired to the point where you just you really i don't know maybe it's getting older thing too it's just like if i'm going too slow yeah anyway you get the drift all righty uh next trick of the decade i just realized well am i going to get a um where am i going to get another one of those connectors from yeah i didn't think about that okay doesn't really look like an iphone-ish type connector i'm crap [Music] all right we gotta find another one of those connectors okay so it's maybe this is a 10 pinner i'm hoping to god that there's an iphone one because if there's an iphone one that's easy because it'll either be on the flex or yeah it'll be something i can easily grab ah see 138's got it but i remember these being a little bit obscure low beholder 4924 has it funny that same 3642 i may have a spare chassis for this but it's really something you'd tip off a broken keyboard exactly if the keyboard was damaging clip it off i should have just made it search in the iphone folder and it didn't find anything damn it because that's it's way too big for a normal iphone connector so oh just damn it yeah that's not an easy it's not an easy one to find that's fantastic you know we fixed this up but we don't have a connector for it that's it find something sufficiently similar and smoosh it yeah i'm probably going to need a donor yeah dana a donor keyboard ah you know i have thrown out damn it why do i throw things out every time yeah i'm just trying to think in the back of my head if i could remember any other chassis that have something similar but i really cannot think of anything that does yeah other than this particular series and yeah i don't want to have to buy a replacement keyboard just for this that's a 30 connector don't think that's going to um i've spent the whole day reballing u4100 for the 239 barrillicum chip what is that a 239 239 looks like i've worked on one which one's that it's not this is it that's alpine ridge 923 funnily enough i also get 239 and 923 swapped around in my head a lot why don't i have a 923 here i've got 928 would you call that chip the killium there we go 928 is that page 40. oh okay so it's a smc type of bowling uh i'm surprised you had to manually rebuild that you i'm surprised you couldn't find a stencil for it that's a bit of a shame i can see it's fine pitch because you got your cd cd3215s here so the pitch is certainly fine wow it's got a good number of non-connecteds too wow okay oh okay thanks be on off uh anyway well look i gotta be honest with you now that we've done that um connector i'm pretty much i think i'm kind of done for the night so what i'm going to do is i'll just have to find a replacement connector somewhere steal it from something and put that on hopefully that uv cure will hold now of course the big problem is going to be the other pins on there they're going to ride a little low so i'm going to have to puff them up with some solder it's not going to be the prettiest but hopefully it will restore keyboard backlight so anyway thank you very much for watching a bit of a different night tonight and um let's see what else which i replace the tigris and the iphone 7 tomorrow if the customer wants to pay for that um at least we've got this board running and we've got the msi running but the msr was pretty much obvious what it was going to be so i'll catch you all next time and like i said if you are involved with uh if you've got diode value measurements and things like that for boards and things like that then let me know because the new open board data system is running nicely with flexboardview now so we've got people adding information every day which is excellent so like the iphone 6 here schematics so the the green slime represents where people have submitted data so you can see we've got our connectors which sort of imply the connections over here and of course you know the 165 main board is absolutely choked full of green slime because it's a very popular board so yeah yeah the open board data project it's finally getting some momentum to them about six months after i said i'd get something done hopefully we can actually make it a resource that everybody can use so yeah it's the the corrosion simulator andrew all right i'm out here you all take care i'll see you next time catch you later
