Beaten up MacBook gets a new chassis - LFC 

I'm impressed with how calm you are with this amount of screws. No laptop needs that amount of screws and small parts

I've done a couple keyboard only replacements for these. It is as much of a hassle as you can imagine. Full keyboard and chasis replacements are definitely the way to go.

A very smooth and satisfying repair. Thanks for sharing.

@Adamant_IT Pro tip from an Authorized Service Provider when pulling those pull tabs: Wrap the pull tab around the end of some tweezers (straight-end tweezers) and gently rotate the tweezers to pull the tape out from underneath the speakers and battery. Never once had one break when using this method.

Done watching, thank you very much for the informative repair video. I have learned significantly more troubleshooting & repair lessons in this tutorial video and to your other repair videos as well compared to my ENTIRE 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE due to the rotten & outdated standards of education here in the Philippines. I hope you will soon have a mini-series for Schematic & Boardview-free Voltage/Power Rail Tracing[12V/18-20V Main Voltage Rail, 5V, 3.3V, CPU/GPU Core Voltage Rail, DRAM Voltage Rail, IGPU Voltage Rail, System Agent/Northbridge Voltage Rail, PCH Voltage Rail, BIOS Voltage Rail, Battery Power Rail], Proper method of testing/checking of potentially faulty MOSFETs & ICs/Controller Chips, CPU/GPU/PCH Reballing and BIOS Bin File Editing.

I’ve done a few of these, I found if you use a pair of tweezers and wrap the pull tab round them and just twirl it round to remove the tab, it’s worked 90% of the time for me

So enjoyable to watch you work. That laptop owner is getting quality job. Wish your shop was close to me so my PCs received such care. 👍

For Batteries in future use IPA and a small Syringe and put some under the battery it will help soften the adhesive and make them easier to come off using a pry tool

Excellent work and I really enjoyed your video. Thank you! 👍😎

That new tape is awesome! Not anything like the crap on older MBP's you need a crowbar spudger to get those batteries out

Some folded Post It notes work well for a trackpad spacer too.

Having replaced a keyboard on one of these top cases I can confirm it’s possible, but a nightmare I don’t plan on experiencing again. The keyboard is riveted in…so you have to cut the tops, drill out screw holes for each rivet, and then put screws in to hold the new keyboard. It’s terribly time consuming.

£1200 laptop, I’ll just leave this lying on floor open 👍

10:35 Why does it need 6 screws 🤔 I guess Apple really really want it to stay where it is.

A very nice one again thnx.

The tape might help with vibration when playing music or sound

Hello nice video like another videos on this channel. For speaker tapes you need stretch from start in one press not use finger on start point because cause more pressure and tape was broken.

I would definitely advise, to put at least a small strip of double-sided tape underneath the "long portion" of the speakers. If this long portion is left completely "floating", it might start to rattle at some frequencies at higher volumes. This is quite hard to actually test, so I would rather be safe than sorry. Otherwise flawlessly done - thumbs up!

I just did this same repair

Pleased the battery didnt rupture with THAT much of a bend in it !

I had an Asus laptop that someone had spilt a whole cup of coffee over the keyboard. I left it to dry out for a week and plugged it in, it worked fine so I told the owner to plug in a keyboard or use a BT one as replacing the keyboard is almost impossible with the plastic welds. The cost of replacing he keyboard was also ridiculous with 2 hours of labour and parts making the repair more than 3-5 times the value of the laptop.

i hate the speaker adhesive so much but with a tweezer its easy to remove gently rotate the tweezers to pull the adhesive out and also the Squair small shield in back of trackpad use to calibration clicking and feedback in Authorized Service when we order the trackpad its come with 3 size S and M and Large first start with medium size and check and thane do calibration but this in Authorized Service only i mean the calibration but i just wanna ask how to configure the display ?

You done a good job. Quick question I'm interested in a Galaxy S9 tab what do you think of them

Your good teacher

Do you have the final price of this repair you can share? I was wondering if it would be the same price in the US. Thanks

0:07 na not me idk for the rest in chat iam good with the outfit ur good

NOOB Question: I was testing voltages on a working Mac AIR & there was a “spark”. Then it basically “shorted” (I guess) and now instead oh 8.6v where expected, I get ~2.3v. I was testing a small inductor (the inductor that looks like an MLCC Capacitor (whitish) near backlight circuit). I’m not sure what I did wrong. I see Louis & Adamant test LIVE voltages but I obviously screwed up. Any ideas or recommendations on what I might have done? THANK YOU. 🙏 I wanted to create a spreadsheet of voltages at various points to compare with non working logic board.

I guess True Tone doesn’t work afterwards?

👍

It's an Apple product so I am sure someone jumped on it ;)

Possible the lid was shut when there was an object on the keyboard?

HI pro can you help me with bitmap for all macs

I watch your video's because i am planning someday to design custom simple circuit board for smart home system and connect it with central pc which is very expensive or not perfect if you buy it or third-party do it for you i hoop that you someday start tutorial for somekind of building custom simple circuit (for example i live in Netherland and i think also in England you can find the cheap smart lamp that you can connect to app to control it cost 17€ the app allow you to connect as many same brand as you like but i need to control many other stuff like smoking alarms and other lamp but from different normal good brand and finally robot vacuum cleaner) and then design custom app to control all of them at once yo save more time and energy thanks

what is your hot air station plz

Is the case the one component they have not rigged with id chips so you cannot swap it out for another. Have never, will never, own apple products.

Why do you have a email if you don’t respond?

The only thing that would cause an issue to the customer is problably software related since true tone will no longer work and those remplacement displays are not color calibrated.

First 😂
