I think it would be interesting for you to test the current rating on that properly calibrated fuse.
Nothing compares to a proper calibrated fuse !!!
Electronics technician, teacher, dentist! Yet another Sorin!!🤣
Good job sir
Hi Sorin. I love when you get Macbooks. My kinda repair job
this always make me smile ,,,,,
Good job mate 👏
So good I watch twice 👍
Good afternoon. 👍
Proper calibrated fuse 😂😂
Nice laptop
Perfect...
If replaced the capacitor and smd fuse will be 200 pounds? 😊
Love The Dodgy...
You should have replaced the fuse. Not soldering a jumper.
Hi Sorin. Quick question would it be possible to find the shorted capacitor without a thermal camera and voltage injection tool/power supply? Keep up the great work!
Sorin's old videos show that, he just feels the warm/hot areas using his hands and uses zippo petrol on the spot to verify the shorted cap
I saw another repair guy use a q tip dipped in 99% alcohol. He then just dabs the capacitors and checks at which spot the alcohol evaporates faster.
I have used a can of Freeze prior to thermal imaging
Feel the heat with your soul !!! but all jokes aside you can sprinkle a little flux and watch the component you think is shorted if it does heat up it should melt the flux off & fast. but its better to get a cheap thermal cam good ones are GOAT but cheap ones should get you one MB fixed but all in all i recommend bringing it to pros they can and will do it much better then you could trust me . GL :D
were do you buy this USB to magsafe adapter ?
Personally I am okay with leaving that cap off, there are (i think) 12 of them on the CPU high side. But these caps are prone to failure, so even if you only get 50 for the job, you should really invest 2 minutes more and ct for a proper fuse. It broke, so it is there for a reason (unlike those backlight fuses which essentially never break).
Don't get me wrong, I'm all against over-engineering, but (main power rail) fuses are there for a good reason.
When someone’s home is set on fire by one of these ‘fuses’ and the insurance company of the owner knocks on the door he will regret this. I don’t get the gain of this practice. By some real fuses with usual ratings and you don’t have to hassle with these dodgy wires anymore. Even doesn’t save him some time. I don’t get it. peace
That's why Sorin is the expert, and you are not.
the laptop will not burn up your house , what are you talking about ? there's so many protections on the board, also the wire fuse will burn and cut off the power . I advice you to stop watching because you know nothing about electroincs @@Druidus98
@@Druidus98 I couldn't agree with you more. I know Apple over-engineer the board (I'm an Apple board level technician) but the main power rail has a fuse for a reason and those caps are always failing. Just prey that nothing happens to the owner in the future. All for the sake of changing the fuse which cost pennies!!!
@@jimdavis6833 I agree he is an expert in his field, but that is very bad what he has done. Would you remove your house fuse and put a wire in it's place???? I wouldn't!!!!
When Laptop owner watches the video: You used a proper calibrated WHAT?
Nice repair btw.👍
please dont remove any parts of your videos we are enjoyinig every second with you even when you are silent.
putin is a war criminal
Same model here. Automatic power on but when i turn-off then press power button i cant work.
Hi ! could you provide the reference of the fuse to replace plz ? it's maybe said in the video but my english is limited, thx !
Hi where I can find the adapter usb c to Mac charger like in a video? Thanks
it is hard to think that there is anything dodgy in this repairs...if you are like replacing the fuse and capaxitors clean the flux with alchoohol and all that fancy things propably you gona come to the point to do the repair in the same as in this video...this guy here has proven that the repairs like clean one and "dodgy" one has the same outcome..just saying
No capacitor, no problem👌
I am wondering if you dont mind answering me about this in apple schematic NC_CHGR_EN_VR1, does it mean it is not connected, if its point or pad on motherboard is removed dueto overheat it is not important to repair the point or it mean another thing.
Why " A capacitor is removed" part is censored!?.because of Needle nose plier ?!
Good job Sir but mine is MAcbook Air 17 that is not working
How should go about it Boss
For the love of Christ i had a Macbook Air (near yours) a few days ago maybe 2 or 3 "Exact" same problem i fixed it thinking what are the odds ? 3 days later i see the "odds" of the same issue in another Mac Coincidence ??? i think not :) .
Sorin will replace the cap in the next video 😀 But in all seriousness, Sorin how can we identify if a capacitor is on the Input or Output and when it's a must to replace 1 just to ensure the other left over caps are not stressed?
If the capacitor is across the power rail and is just used to get rid of noise or ripple then there will be many others doing the same job. The capacitors are rated for the power rail they are on and are effectively in parallel with each other on that rail so they won't be stressed if one is removed, you'll just have slightly less capacitance for noise or ripple removal - it most likely won't make a difference. There is usually enough tolerance in the design. I know Sorin jokes but one less capacitor really can be one less capacitor to fail in most cases. And when you're up against time and cost with low margins - if you can take a short cut and still have an effective and reliable repair - that's what you go for.
Hello Sir I have a MacBook Pro I was using it fine but the other day when I switched it on MacOS could not load and when I removed the hard drive and put my windows hard drive it booted just fine, when I tried to reinstall MacOS the laptop couldn’t go to recovery or safe mode till today can you please help me?
It's only dodgy if you get caught 😂
8:47 - This is daily dose of Sorin... old subs dont even come here to watch him repair, we come for hidden jokes :D
that's exactly right 😆
So I wonder what damage will happen when the special calibrated fuse try's to blow on the next fault
The fuse is also a wire just think about it
Can I ask how 0.05 volts is enough for voltage injection to detect the shorted component and why not higher voltage is used?
I thought you usually need at least 1 to 1.5V to inject in the circuit to show the heat on the affected shorted component
That just depends on the resistance of the shorted cap. Best is low rsistance but not 0.0 ohms, then it wil get proper hot at under 1v. If it hat 2 or 3 ohms, the voltage must have been 1-3v to get it hot enough
Cause if its a shorted mosfet before the cpu, then with higher volt your chance is to burn the cpu is higher. Safe tu use 1v max. With thermal camera even one degree different is very well seen
Thanks for the reply@@macwake.
Thanks for the reply@@SkyDown15.
I see most similar repair videos, for Android phones example, voltage injection goes up to 4.2V. For a laptop 1V should be the safest maximum? Also is it a personal preference to use resistance mode to diagnose a shorted cap rather than diode mode or just continuity to measure a fuse?
You are great 💯💯💯
You are awsome ❤
LOL - you shall now forever be known as 'The Dentist' - You must have a very large box containing all capacitors you've removed over the years!! 😎
the dentist took out a bad teeth and fixed a bracelet to the fuse. great
I could not even drink a beer that fast. good job
Niceeeee macbook
I think fault is still on the motherboard
Why you don't use the right spare parts?
It seems you are in a far far away country not in the middle of Europ
I dont use them either to be honest if i have the time sure ill change them but in Dubai in a successful shop trust me i dont have the "time" or "luxury" to look for "the right" spare part as you call it and you as the customer get your laptop back in good working condition with waranty on repair so whats the issue here ? your sad because you think the next time they charge you a high price for MB repair your not getting the "right parts" for your buck ? well here's the thing ignorance is bliss if you don't like it sure go ahead and learn to do it yourself find the issue find the right parts order them pay for delivery wait 2-3 weeks (all of this in a great time were you find the right part from china or Ebay) and ....... then you can hope the right part works. Buddy just be happy you got your laptop back in 1-2 days instead of a month.
Hello, are you interested in saving some money when importing repair tool products?
Common fault on that model, cracked capacitor and blown fuse
I bet those people who judge you probably do the same thing
No, that's just how my face is.
*stares judgmentally*
Apple uses really high quality components.
I love dodgy jobs!!
The payment you will receive is not for 10 minutes of work but for 10 years and 10 minutes. Regards.
You are Badass! 😂 and funny too!
😁😁😁
I judge you to the best repairman i have ever seen
Didn't expect that someone called you a dentist for that 😂.
I didn't get it, they called him a dentist for what?
Because he removes capacitors like rotten teeth?
@@pgsss6354 Exactly.
If it quacks it is a DuckBook. DakBook.
This job is NOT done until you have replaced that blown fuse! Never jumper a fuse. Only for testing proposes.
It is a very fine wire, I suspect it would blow open at maybe 3-5A so still offers some protection.
@@TonyHamlyn Rubbish... You cannot use cooper wire as a fuse since it's meting point of Cu is higher and resistance is very low and current can flow through it without melting it and without breaking the circuit. I would NEVER advise using a wire instead of a fuse. It's been placed there for a reason.
Hello🤝quick job quick money 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Let's repair a Mac book😊
This is not fun. Replacing fuses with wires while repairing someone else's stuff should be punishable by law. If the laptop got seriously damaged after another capacitor developed a short, you should be brought to account and pay damages.
💖💖
Sorin i have to tell you again, stop focusing on negative feedback... you have 99% positive comments and you focus on 1%. If u keep doing it , it will only get worse for you.
Often a good feedback comes from a doggy person, and a doggy feedback comes from a good person.
The only thing I disagree with on this video is the "We have a nice laptop to repair".
- There is nothing nice about this brand.
If you don't calculate the proper size of the area of the section of the wire needed to "fix" the fuse, you cannot say that you fixed the fuse. Also, there are better materials than copper for fuses. I am afraid but your "fuse" could possibly burn the logic board rather than protect it.
What model thermal camera do you use?
The flux is acidic/corrosive, you need to clean it or it would damage the PCB after a while 😂😂😂
Good job mate 👏
