Louis Rossmann +Louis Rossmann I know your pain. I stick to rewiring houses and doing commercial and domestic stuff these days as electronics drives me insane. Even then, it comes with it's own set of problems. Armoured cable is a bitch to work with, plasterers do not clean out back box spaces & terminations can be a pain at times. That said, working with 2.5mm² cable is a lot better than working with something microscopic. I refused to touch apple products due to having to self teach & find out all the problems before you find the correct solution. It's a good way to learn but it's one that tests your patience. Proprietary stuff will always end up reverse engineered, so why Apple care so much about it I don't know. PCs can mount much more powerful stuff in them anyways.

@jeffwells641 6 лет назад

The video actually has all the elements of a classic adventure story. There is our plucky hero (Louise), a kingdom to be saved (the motherboard), evildoers attempting to destroy the kingdom (all the board problems), and a dragon to be slain (the SMC). Our hero leaves the kingdom to slay the dragon, going through many trials and tribulations in the process, until finally the dragon is dead. He brings back the dragon's head and drives out the lesser evildoers, and attempts to restore the kingdom to its former glory. Unfortunately this story has a tragic ending: the king had already been slain and the kingdom fell into ruin (dead CPU). But for the most part it's a classic adventure story via an unconventional medium. That's why it's so damn entertaining.

Why don't you put on the back side of that piece of metal with holes some guidance brackets, like the ones you have on a CPU socket? Instead of aligning each time that chip with those holes you just put the chip in those brackets, press and hold, use the tape and that's it. Every time it will be centered, just put the 2 brackets diagonally.

@thatsnotthepoint-__-2666 7 лет назад

This might be a slightly older video, but I seriously want to thank you for taking your time and placing these videos up. I really find this field of work interesting. Furthermore, they are very educational as well. It seems as if there are certain procedures that can be followed with multiple boards, methodically. In turn the board is repaired. But there are also instances in which that procedure won't cut it and further repair might be required. I like the thought of that. Nonetheless I'm very grateful for your effort in making these videos. The fact that you don't have to upload these, yet, you do. Makes them very special. Best wishes

@nineball039 5 лет назад

I did electronic repair for years as a hobby. Being twice Louis' age, I worked with circuits with more discrete components and fewer on board (SMD) components. But as the components got smaller (and difficult to obtain) and my eyes got worse, I stopped. I did most work without schematics which would be very difficult doing board work like Louis. Thanks for the video. I never attempted reballing nor had the proper equipment for it so watching a pro was quite entertaining. Thanks Louis!

@Durrdalus 9 лет назад

Wouldn't it be a bit healthier to get someone to machine a template with walls, pop the chip in and it's aligned? Just a random thought I had while watching.

@Magicman8508 9 лет назад

+WKDworks same thought. cncing a stencil with chipholder shouldn't cost that much. BTW I'm still wondering what needs to happen to a board to do that amount of damage. Is someone dancing on it?

@gtforrest1 7 лет назад

WKDworks couldn't the template be made in two parts? A second one the same size but with a hole the size of the chip that you can pop it into. Then you just align the two templates perhaps in a clamp rather than having to align by eye. If this second template was same thickness as chip you could use another one with no cutout to support it.Basically suggesting a series of templates you could use for different chips etc...

Looking how you are removing those old balls.. I wonder what huge thermal stress the package has to survive even though the support takes some heat out. Btw. don't worry so much about alignment, if you are using SnPb solder paste, it will quite nicely go to pad when being reflowed later on board. And one more tip.. storing soldering paste in siringe is not wery good, because paste is supposed to be mixed before any printing as those solder particles inside are still moving in flux, which is around. And don't worry about lead too much :D Lead is still less toxic than fluxes in lead-free solder paste :))

I always hated Apple, if only the Amiga hadn't gone down.

@Waccoon 7 лет назад

Alas, Commodore's intention was to use WinNT for their post-AAA system, and the Amiga community had too much of a boner for PowerPC to see the writing on the wall. All the people outside the engineering department had no vision. At least I can still enjoy my A1200 hooked up downstairs. Even today, it's the most fun computer I own.

@phalanx66Satan 7 лет назад

I let another Amiga enthusiast keep both my Amiga computers, I was transferred to the East Coast and lost track. I watched a recent movie about the Amiga and am still not sure how the Commodore owner who did well in the beginning with things ultimately dropped the ball. I remember it taking years for the PC to catch up to the Amiga, and the turmoil around the "California Amiga" that never was. That was back when a year seemed like a long time in electronics, now the years pass by like seconds.

Louis Rossmann You have more patience than me. I would be cursing Apple for having to design everything like that and not tell you how to repair them. It is a miracle that Apple sells as many devices as they do considering that. I have an Xperia Z3 that is better in many ways and being water resistant is one. I am not one of those goofballs who is going to drown my phone just to test that out but I have been in the rain with it once and it did not do anything bad except make the touchscreen frustrating to work with until it dries off again. That is a common problem with any capacitive screen.

I really admire the fact that you're so good at what you do, you don't feel the need to bogart your knowledge. You share virtually EVERY aspect of what you're doing, and provide expertise technique, AND integrity. And (my opinion) you do it because you know that A: Few can do what you do, even given every detail of the process, 'cause you need the brain to go with the hands, and B: You're just a badass technician, period. Much respect, and thanks for all the videos.

@luiscipher4855 6 лет назад

Man, your comments make me laugh. It so reminds me time I used to work as a tech. I'm so glad that you are doing this. I'm certified apple tech and used to run an apple dealership. No one believed the horror stories about apple products I was telling. what made me quit it was the day I got an answer from our reagional rep after I asked him why do they screw their own customers. The answer was "Because Apple is in business selling computers, not fixing them"... This was after a lady cried in my store because her MBP keyboard was F'd up.. after a liquid spill. No matter she had apple care, she sent it off and got it back completely not working. It took me several hours to get it back to the original state when everything worked except the keyboard. Back with the MBP came a letter that said that the repair cost would exceed the price of a new MBP (her's was 6 months old). So I ordered the top case with the keyboard for $140 and everything was fixed... she was not happy with apple and to shut her up afte she was screaming at them over the phone she got an ipod out of it... this is about 7 years back. Anyway, thanks again, keep it up. You are doing a great job and it matters ;)

Maybe have hime CNC a new stencil with indicator tabs or something. I just wanted to give you a shout out and tell you your a great person. nice work!

@carlwilliams7232 9 месяцев назад

Wondering if you've tried the low temperature lead-free solder paste? It's alloyed with bismuth, which, despite being a heavy metal, isn't particularly toxic, and the melting point is seriously low - 150C or so - so this stuff is just tin, copper, bismuth and silver, and some kind of flux which is probably fairly toxic but not in the cumulative, insidious way that lead is. I've used it for replacing SOIC type devices and for reducing the melting point of regular lead-free when removing/replacing SMT connectors, but I don't do this stuff day-in, day-out, or even very much at all. I've not found any wetting issues either with regular lead-free (260C) for rework (at least with the varieties that have a reasonable silver content) or with the bismuth stuff, though I do worry that at 150C reflow temp you wouldn't want to leave something that used it sitting on a car dash in summer :-)

Hi Louis, You are doing an awesome work! I have a problem with my MacBook Air base model 2014, CPU is working at 0,8 gigahertz according to intel power gadget. No mater what I am doing its stuck at 0,8 gigahertz and occasionally jumping to 1,4 to 1,5 gigahertz but for seconds snd then back to 0,8 gigahertz. battery at 530 cycle and 85 percent at 6180 mah. cpu temperature never get higher than 60 degrees Celsius no mater the load and of course its really slow. Do you recognise this problem?

@kellydavis1776 8 лет назад

Thanks for sticking with the repair to show us the technique one would use to address this issue. I sat here and wondered how can he make $$$ on repairs that would potentially take 2+ hrs to complete knowing that you could get $0 if you are unsuccessful, especially on repairs you know have a slim chance of success or take an extraordinary amounts of effort and ingenuity to solve.. Seems like a big risk, but yet your are very successful. I think your put it to the bottom of the pile strategy addresses some of the risk. Hell, modify your biz model and get a little something for your time.... I personally would still purchase your service with a nominal failure fee.... Something like $50 for failure and whatever you charge for success..... You make balk at $50, but $50 is better than nothing... Anyhow, thanks for posting and thanks for sharing your knowledge. What you do is pretty amazing. I've been in IT for close to 30 years and I never thought these new MOBOs could even be touched for repair at the level you are repairing them. I'm a fan now!Thanks again! btw - you ought to get a donate button somewhere... I'd contribute to keep the knowledge flowing....

Have considered the feasibility of initiating a possible business of supporting “Hackinoish” resource? Because we of patent, and copyright hurdles, there would no legal at of selling complete and running systems! From what I have been viewing RU-vid videos, it seems that much of the Hardware and software system setting mods deal with bypassing all of the SMC related functions! The “Hackintoish” hardware alternative would provide a far more affordable option than Apple’s “rotten to the core” pricing, and also far more durable, rugged, reparable and reliable product!

After a couple of months poped open the bottom cover to re apply thermal paste after that the macbook air wont turn on. Brought it to a repair place they saying its the SMC. Fuck me sideways had no idea thease fuckin boards are so fuckin sensitive. Im 35 years old been fixing computers/laptops since i was 15. Will never buy a mac ever again. Other boards from other brands i literally bathe them in alcohol then leave em to dry. This fuckin apple shit thermal paste wont trun on? Fuck that shit
