Wow! Great video once again! I feel that this needs to be shared because it's like you read my mind. Recently, in an attempt to expand my little scrapping hobby, I decided to look into a school as a client. The job mostly consists of the 180-200 iMacs. 150 of which are the silver back ones. Having never done any before. I said yes and they will be coming soon. Yikes! Thank you for showing me what I'm in for. The job also has other e waste so it will all work out! Keep up the great work! You're a true professional.
on that second mac, you DO have to use the suction cup to remove it, but it swings downward, so attach the suction cup to the top middle of the glass and attempt to hinge it downward.
Thanks Ben I just did a apple all in one sir you made it look easy this has been a great video with awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
I'd love to see you get into gold recovery, even just a little batch for the fun of it. Maybe use one of those boards you were playing with at the end.
the wires wrapped around those pins on the vintage boards near the end -- are those silvered wires? saw old bits like that once from a physics lab clearing out old in-house-made lab equipment...
i wish i was from australia... as a new eletrical engineer i see great staff on your videos that i could really use... i dont understand how people dont ask you for caps and sensors and all of that
Once I have disassembled a 27" iMac and put a normal HP 27" display on the inside. Had to cut out the 'ports' out for cabling, and removed one spring from the stand hinge (lower weight, just only the screen inside) and was a fun project. But macs are crap, they overheat and if something goes bad (desoldered GPU) and other dust related issues; like dustparticles between IPS panel and the backlight... yeah no more mac for me...
It's unfortunate that Apple engineers didn't consider the end of life challenges these systems present. Or maybe they just assumed they'd go in a shredder instead of being scrapped by a human.
After stripping all the screws and having to take my grinder with a cut off disc on it to open the back I now just reach for the grinder first and not worry about the screws.
I get several of these every week or two. They can be time consuming to strip. I'm still trying to find somewhere that will buy all my boards in the UK. Had a price from one yard who said 20p a KG. Not a chance ha.
I made a comment a year or 2 ago about how this guy needed someone to help him, someone to maybe just process all the time but ya know bringing someone else in would actually be a hassle I'd say now. The bigger you grow the more you have to make just to stay with the same income you made by yourself
15:53 That was the correct way to remove the glass, the issue was you had held the glass in place with your body on one side while also holding the glass in place with your hand on the other side So when you pull the suction cup the only thing the glass could do was fold in half
hi bkn use a construction hairdryer that quickly put on all the io circuit boards chips and everything else the construction hairdryer will help you work out everything that is in the bins at home and it will be more expensive to hand over the microcircuit chips

The difference between Apple and other brands is that Apple is very anti-repair. For example I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 which I use for car diagnostic and there I can easily swap the hard drive by removing one screw while on MacBooks made after 2016, you cant even replace the ssd anymore. That's why I hacked my old 2012 MacBook Pro to run latest MacOS. There I can easily replace the SSD, swapped the DVD drive for another SSD and I can easily replace the ram or the WiFi card
Apple is always trying to build things to make it as difficult as possible to repair or disassemble. They rather sell you new products than that your faulty products will be repaired.
That GARAGE of your's mate has always looked like that since I een watching your channel, I think it going to be like that for years to come, unless you Sir stop picking up more recyclable ewaste for a couple of month the you might get it tidy, Cheers.
id like to see a video or a mini series, of you selling to your buyer and doing scrap runs, like 3 days in a row, to see how much u could make in that time frame
3:20s - offloading laptops and PCs to the buyer. Prices going down. Better off to scrap them out. Otherwise they are going to end up, directly or indirectly, in Hong Kong or Shanghai or polluting some Nigerian river. Scrap them out and then offload the extracted circuit boards and such. Worried about clutter and thus moving stuff quicker ? I would not be concerned with that. Your carbon footprint must be way below just about anyone else's.
