Apple needs to start allowing official downgrades. An older device would still be great for simple task like web browsing, viewing documents, or consuming content.

@crawdaddy1600 Год назад

Idk, the older you go the less website support you get

@dlewis9760 Год назад

But, but, but...... Apple supports their products of OS updates for a lot longer!!!!!!! More, like they know that a certain one is essentially going to make a unit useless and force you to buy new to stay on the Apple Plantation.

@user-bb7eq7vy3f Год назад

That brings security issues, what's stopping someone downgrading your device to get around serious big fixes? Apple keeps things simple for those who don't think about security

The ultrasonic cleaner that Rossmann recommends (I think he even sells it occasionally on his online store) can often single-handedly fix water damaged MacBooks with no further board repair depending on the extent of the damage. I’d highly recommend picking one up, it’s been a complete game changer at the repair shop I work at.

In my 22 years of life the ONLY device I’ve ever broken was my first 3DS, which fell out of my pocket and was promptly run over once. I find it hard to imagine someone breaking this many devices, like how does that even happen

@grafzeppelin6954 10 месяцев назад

I managed to crack my Huawei P8's screen back in the day by accidentally dropping it. To me, its design has been so slick and perfect that I had stopped using a case about two years prior to that. In my eyes it would have been a shame to hide such a beautifully designed device in a thick, ugly rubber case 😅 Long story short: Shit happens, bought a new screen for about 50€, replaced the cracked one and continued using phone for almost three more years (still w/o case)🙂

I'm a little surprised you didn't mention asking if she wanted the data off the ones that booted, especially the 4 which she's been hanging onto for some odd reason and which didn't need much love to light up. Good haul, though, and better to a tech than into the waste stream.

I've found a 2009 macbook pro at a dump. It was thrown away due to 1 bad drive and water damage. I removed the corrosion and thankfully the motherboard works completely fine. The DVD slot was replaced for a secondary drive and it was an SSD. That SSD was working fine but then it suddenly just gave up fully so the water most likely did it's job there. I replaced both the drives and it works very well! even the original battery is in very good condition, 86% health left according to numerous battery testing apps.

Tip, I had the 1st gen ipad mini, there is a simple way to "downgrade" it to iOS 6... Then the update process goes through iOS 9 as an step to go to latest version available (10?)... But iOS 9 is very usable! You can install an OTA profile to prevent any further update...

@hkfuertes Год назад

I said downgrade... You make apple servers believe that you ar in iOS 6... But you aren't. Then itunes/ipad tries to upgrade from there, as I said first to iOS 9, and then to the latest

@danandrei96 Год назад

fun fact the 2015 and 2017 i7 macbook air use the same CPU, and are therefore pretty much identical machines. overall you got yourself a nice lil macbook there, as long as you can fix it. that board has quite a bit of corrosion but most of it should brush away. You'll need to replace the lcd connector and maybe other components in the backlight circuit, I look forward to when you'll get around to it. Thanks for the video

There needs to be a psychological study on 2 groups of people: the ones who’s new phone screen is ALWAYS smashed within the first month and the ones, who’s phones look like new 10 years later. It can’t just be carelessness and always makes me a bit sad to see so many shattered displays 😢

@v31.48 Год назад

I never had a smashed display. Every iphone i had was in perfect almost new condition. Currently using the 12 for a few months which doesn't even have a single scratch. My apple watch series 3 is still in perfect condition, but has to be replaced soon as the display is now too smal for my fingers and its staring to get very slow.

I'm watching your video on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro. The MacBook travelled several times around the world, I'm using it many hours every day but it still looks brand new: no scratches, everything works flawless... I never dropped or scratched one of my many iPhones. I will never understand why people do not take better care of items worth hundreds or even thousands of $$$...

@MayaPosch Год назад

With how Apple insists on having the high-voltage backlight trace on the display connector right next to signal lines to the CPU/GPU instead of a ground, there's a good chance that the IGP in that MacBook Air is also fried. So sad how Apple is basically the king of e-waste at this point.

Just found an iPhone XR on the side of the road earlier today during a walk of mine. I was inspired by this channel to fix it. It was covered in ice and was clearly run over a few times... Currently I've been able to get the screen to light up and connect to 3Utools on a PC, looking to see if I can find the original owner.

@Alexander_l322 Год назад

If there is a sim then try that in a different phone to see if any contacts are saved to it and you can find out the number of that sim and then call or text it to see if the owner got a new sim with the same number.

It’s really easy to not destroy every thing you own; I don’t even run cases on my phone anymore.

if pin #1 and #2 are shortened out by the water damage, it will probably result in 50V went directly to CPU and frying it off. Very known problem with MacBook's. It is even recommended to take a new MacBook that you just bought from an Apple to a technician, to put a water protecting coating in this connector and few other places.

Yeah, I know this is a year old. I was at a rummage sale a year ago and found a new "Artisan Leather ipad 2 cover with bluetooth keyboard." It was a nice looking thing in its box never used for $5. I nabbed an ipad 2 for $10 on ebay needing a digitizer. Nabbed the digitizer for $11 and did all that nasty glass removal. Now I have a super slow ipad that looks like a leather laptop with no touch pad. You can of course touch the screen but that makes it fall down. But you know, it wasn't the destination but the trip. and I'm proud that thanks to you tube, I didn't hurt the wifi antenna. I guess it is more like a trophy. Useless but something I like to look at.
