Holy hell that cancer comparison was on point! I've never seen anyone able to fix an internal short that extensive. Hope the owner sent you a big tip for this job.
You’re an artist. Looking at what you were doing all I was thinking as you were cutting away more and more of the PCB was “how on Earth could this ever work”. My mind has been completely blown. 🙏
That was more like a dentist job. Very nice! I've done that once on my own device. One of my first fixes, believe it or not. You need a Dremel and a lot of patience...
Just apple. Why would the fuse blow when the pcb can burn and we can make money because the user have to buy another motherboard for a price of the complete laptop.
What am I missing here? I've seen similar 'repairs' done by cutting through the layers; but, unlike this data recovery, those repairs had the machine working fine. HOW?? I don't understand how these boards keep working after cutting a big hole through multiple layers of traces...surely this cuts connections with many many different circuits et al? Would love a video explaining exactly what is happening and how/why this process works. Cheers!
In this case the data recovery was possible due to the circut in question and the location. Its "just" the backlight circuit and its close to the edge of the board. So its in a "isolated" spot. There is no real cross board traces running through here other then large ground planes. Now if the burn was more localized and in a more precurious spot, a full repair attempt might be possible. But you would have to remove layer by layer taking pictures for referance as you go, so that you can run wire's. Now if you drill a hole straight through, you can prety much just forget about it. But if you can get away with taking off for example 9 out of 16 layers, you can essentially rebuild it layer by layer. Putting down wire's on traces that need to be reconnected, cover it with epoxy or mask, connect next layer of traces, isolate again and basically repeat until you have rebuilt every layer. This takes a lot of time, patience and experience. And if you fuck it up, best case you have to remove it and do it all over again. Worst case, you send voltage where it shouldnt go and kill the laptop forever.
The hole removed the short to ground, and it was in a non critical area. Sure lots of traces were cut but it still worked, kinda like how people don't need appendixes, gall bladders or spleens to live.
@@jacobskywoker1240 dude must have schematics and diagrams for the motherboard so he know whats in that area of motherboard and lets not forget the tools, knowledge and skills.
and thats why i ALLWAYS use timemachine, mac books did get realy worse thees days, my m1 mac jesterday made a POP sound, it smelld like burned shit, still works, lets see how long xD
That’s not what the word “decimated” means. Not even close. Inb4 “words change”. No, people just are wrong in the same way when they don’t know what they’re talking about.
this don't work on apple macbook m1 or later. Ths old models have nvme on motherboard. If this is possible nobody will do it. Apple has nvme on their soc which is M1. So, it is very hard to resolder on to new one good working soc.
