Hey Luke Miani, I'm looking for a good used MacBook pro for my home office. Can you please guide me on how to go about getting a good deal. Thanks in advance
Really admire your patience in disassembling, reassembling and then doing it all again because of the faulty touch bar connector. Great video. Thank you for posting.
When you rebuild the MacBook and it has a failed part. It makes watching the video satisfying to your viewers. Just because you have the problems that everybody else experiences. Then you go back and fix it a second time. That makes watching your video even more satisfying! Keep doing what you’re doing, it works! Be safe.
Ahahahah! Don't know... in my region some years ago there was a comic tv program that had sponsors and the actors told the worst of them in very creative ways during the episodes, but sales for the sponsors skyrocketed anyway, so... why not? I liked his parody style of sponsorship.
@@drcola143 but it's nowhere near "impressive" as it's the easiest laptop to disassemble and probably anyone could do it . It's almost the same as disassembling a gameboy and I did both lmao
@@eXxtrazZz no it's not lol. A gameboy and a laptop are completely different things. I would argue replacing the components of a mac is harder than most laptops
@@drcola143 I've disassembled them since I was 14 years old, they are a joy to work on, all the clips, connectors are just too easy to unplug, the layout is easy to work on, no awkward keyboard tilts to disconnect and damage the ribbons or etc like on most windows based laptops. Screen assembly is literally 1 plug,few antenna plugs and 6 screws, I've never came across an easier display to replace(If we're talking a whole assembly, if the display was fixed and I mean unglue the glass protector with a heatgun and replace the lcd itself, then yeah, it's pretty difficult) but overall it's as easy as taking a gameboy apart, had more trouble diassembling nintendo ds than macbooks for the past 7 years lol
i don't think I have come across one video that I haven't watched the full thing. I am a recent Apple convert. I was overclocking and water cooling pc's 20 years ago. I bought my first iPhone in October, and really started opening my eyes to Apple. I grabbed my wife's old 6,1 Macbook and did a ram and ssd upgrade and installed Catalina. Just did the same with my sister in law's 7,1 Macbook Pro. I miss doing these kind of things. I am trying to figure out a way to continue fixing these old macbook's up and your channel has given me so much inspiration. Thanks!
March 18th 2024. My MacBook was destroyed yesterday. It was in my case, which was in my backpack. It was driven over . Went to Reddit. And someone sent me this
I have done that a few times on MacBook and MacBook pros it's interesting a fun if a bit nerve racking but once it's complete its great. People often ask me why I do it I just say because I can!. Nice video
So.... He basically bought a perfectly working MacBook Pro just so he could use the parts to fix the broken one? Now that’s what I call a *big brain move*
I've been watching your videos for a week now ever since I ordered my MacBook Pro, I pulled a Luke Miani and got a unit with better specs than what was listed on the ad :D
“Trashedbook pro” and LOL to fancy Luke. I really wonder what the story is for the damage of this MacBook Pro. It amazes me when I see the level of damage for some machines especially when browsing eBay.
8@@marcmiyamoto The batteries in these machines aren't just one single cell, they have leads running to each of those pouches and are frighteningly flexible should you ever find yourself handling one that isnt glued in. I wouldn't be surprise if, even with that level of damage, the battery is just fine to continue using. As for removal, there are liquid solutions you can use to release the adhesive and get the battery out. With everything else destroyed, a heatgun and some alcohol should do just fine. ** I should mention the heat is applied to the palmrest, not directly to the battery** Then something like dental floss can be used to slice through the glue, releasing the battery. Ifixit has some great guides detailing this.
LUKE, you made me LOL for real! About your cologne that helps you when are repairing messed up macbooks... who doesn't want to smell like "freshly cut logs?" ROTFL! I needed that, today, of all days!
Laptop condition: Grade B* Description of grade B: Laptop is fully functional with heavy scratches and cracks visible on chasis or screen. Components may not be visually aligned.
I LOVE your videos! You inspired me to try my own repair for the first time. I had a Chromebook with a bad battery, so I did my research on iFixit and bought a refurbished toolkit and a replacement battery on Ebay (following your tips to make sure I found a good seller) and BOOM - problem fixed!! This saved me over $500. I have followed you for a couple years now and love the content and your sense of humor! I have always wondered how you got to your level of knowledge on Macs - Did you work at a Genius Bar?? Thanks again, Charles.
Usually it's very hard for me to subscribe to channels. It takes quite a lot of skill to make click the button, and this Luke guy has done that. Perfect!!
Luke, great story. 👍 Reworked and serviced many macbooks from „the more serviceable years“ (2006/2009/2010/2011/2012) myself, so am I very impressed to see you this completely mangled 2017 one. Great work, great music, fine sense of humor. Keep on keeping on and stay healthy!
Hi there luke. I want to hear your thoughts. I am planning to get this specific model with touch bar also. Is it worth it for admin task like 9 hours of work a day ? For 5 days a week?
In the UK we have an old sitcom called Only Fools and Horses. In it one of the characters (a street sweeper) says “This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles” and then the other characters say “How is it the same bloody broom?” Same applies to this MacBook 😂
Recently replace my macbook air 2015 topcase and battery from ifixit. They said to leave the plastic on the battery in the battery instructions. I took it off, but luckily didn't throw it out right away, so put it back on at the end, had to open the case again to do that.
Hello, i think you can help me. I have a macbook pro 15 inch 2018 model. My rubber fan "ducts" are destroyed, those black rubber things for helping the airflow.... do you know how and where i can get replacement parts for it? Thank you
Luke I know this is an older video now but I was wondering what became of this MacBook. Were there any bugs or issues down the road from that logic board?
Where did you get the replacement parts? I want to replace the bottom case on my MacBook pro 13 and was looking for a good place to get an authentic replacement one.
BTW do you stand on an anti-static mat or use any other anti static protection or just discharge yourself to metal prior to commencing on your electronics work?

Luke: Gets laptop run by a car repaired (at a cost but still).
Apple store genius: You'll need a new laptop because a back light pin is bent...
Tempest_072 or the repair will cost a 1000$ soo I think you should just buy a new MacBook -Apple genius
If they would even agree to repair this it would be about $1300 for parts and labor RIP

So that he could make this video and earn more sponsorship money

I give you serious street cred for this. Just keeping track of all the different screws and having the tools to do this is quite the undertaking.
How did you find all the original apple parts like the macbook monitor and keboard
Apple would look at this: yeaaahh... its water damage.....
My guess is they would say that it would cost ten grand to fix it or something
6:05 This video has my all time favorite sponsor transition ever. It was so simple yet funny, I love it!
Lmao
Once a component on the logic board breaks, I can't just replace it without replacing the whole logic board

The destroyed macbook pro should get a reward for being so clean while also bent so awkwardly out of shape.
