But seriously how do people break laptops to that extent?! I've had a plastic chasis laptop for 10 years now. Only thing thats broken is the hinge plastic covering. How do you even break metal laptops!!
@Everything TechBook Pro lol I agree😂 He did actually durability test the LG Gram a couple years back but that was it. I find durability tests for phones more interesting anyways!
Hey, Hugh! A friend linked me this video, after seeing that Mac, and said it looked like my old MacBook, and sure enough it is! I recycled that Mac back in 2017, the Mac actually fell out of my car on the freeway, and I found it after an hour of searching for it... Insane video you have there, keep up the good work!
I love how hard you try to make these as perfect and close to genuine as possible, even putting in the little tiny rubber pieces where they need to go without thinking “eh not worth it” love your videos man 😄😁🥳
Story time: I was driving down the highway and changing lanes. As I accelerated to around 60 everything was fine. In a few seconds my iPad decided to fly up from the bonnet of the car as I forgot it was placed there. As it carried in the wind it hit the windshield of the car continuing to fly off the car. You can imagine my face... Well let’s just say it was a bit more demolished than this MacBook. So yes i have sadly seen today it’s possible to demolish a apple device more than this one and a video. Just run over with about 30 cars going 70 as soon it flys 20 feet in the air.
Sooner or later when iFixit does videos on the new macbooks: "unable to verify if this macbook contains a genuine apple battery" "unable to verify if this macbook contains a genuine apple display"
I hope we can do the same thing for the new Apple Silicon MacBooks. Oh wait, Apple locked down those things and they'll probably break if you look at them the wrong way.
@@sys-administrator That's already kind of obvious. Apple Silicon is just another part of Apple's plan to stifle Right to Repair and force users to fork over more $$$ to them for repairs. They've already started it years ago with their T2 chip (aka Hostage chip) which makes repairs extremely difficult for 3rd party repairs. Don't forget their Touch ID and Error 53.
@@sys-administrator the whole system is SoC, meaning one chip containing processor, graphic i/o, ram, and security. there is no fixing SoC. best you can do is open the casing to blow the dust/repaste the SoC then put it back on again
So you would like pay more for this kind of a fix, that leaves a laptop looking like that, instead of buying another one (that is also in a better condition) for less money?
@@sjdoiajsd That's one way to increase the amount of eWaste. Instead of having repairable laptops, just sell throwaway devices that are unrepairable that'll end up mostly in landfills.

awesome job hugh! im so amazed that thanks to you i put my head down for two days, and made a macbook restoration and i just posted it 10 minutes ago!! all thanks to you :D keep it up, forever will be a fan
I always look for your new videos on TH-cam almost each time I am on TH-cam, it's like I am becoming more addicted to your channel here. It is another good repairs done here. Thanks showcasing your expertise in repairing this. I am having same type of Mac, but still looks like it is coming out from the Box newly, my probowith it are - 1• The screen at the uppers there is a bit of discolouration. Will send you the photos if I could get you how to send it. 2• The battery is far gone, it needs to be changed. 3• I need a higher gigs of a Solid State Drive Memory. Apart from this, you will think this wonderful Mac is just been opened from the Box. Many Thanks Jeff.
I can’t imagine how it gone like this, but I think it’s more impressive how it still works after all that damage. You did a great job restoring it, it’s a powerful and useful machine again
@NALTO Apple don't fix, deconstruct or recycle anything, they don't fix anything at the Apple Stores just replace with new and throw away the rest. If they were truly into the Environment then they would make their products easier to fix, not harder.
If Hugh Jeffries ask if something can be restored, I know the answer is yes. Seriously, they should have just called you to clean up the mess in End Game- “half the universe is a pile of ashes, can I repair it?”
5:20 How to get rich: get yourself a bunch of irreparable water damaged Macbooks and harvest the screen (which normally are fine, as the mainboard is the part, that'll most likely be irreparable) Sell the screens for the half of a new device- get rich...
There is something so satisfactory about resurrecting a badly destroyed device nearly back to its former self. Saving it from the wasteland purgatory and giving it another chance at life. BTW, thanks. As the original owner of my Early 2015 MBP, I am looking forward to the SSD and battery replacements. As for your MBP, I reckon that it may have survived an Avengers movie.
Great video as always! I'm literally hooked on these repairs, so much so that is has inspired me to tinker with phones, also in the hopes of reducing e-waste, especially in my country that has basically no laws tackling this particular issue. That being said does anyone have any online resources to get started on some basics?
You really are very talented and I love that you are restoring tech that would otherwise end up in landfill, thus doing your bit for the environment. I wish I had the talent and patience to be able to do this. I do tend to sell on my used tech though, instead of throwing it away. Even if it was broken, I would consider selling it or giving it away for use on repairs to people such as yourself. Thank you for sharing your videos. They are very informative and entertaining.
It always amazes me how some people treat their MacBook's. Back in 2011 me and two of my friends all went to the Apple Store and each bought 13" MacBook Pro's for University. So, all three MacBook Pro's were identical & bought at the exact same time. I always keep my Apple stuff in as close to mint condition as possible (even being really OCD about the packaging including all the little pieces of plastic/paper covering the power brick and plug. I also clean my MacBook Pro's religiously), my friend took good care of her MacBook Pro too... The other friend however thrashed that poor thing to an inch of it's life. He didn't use a carrying case/sleeve and just threw it in his bag. Less than ONE MONTH after getting an immaculate, brand new MacBook Pro the thing was covered in scratches, dings and dents and was FILTHY. I've never seen such damage and dirt/mess caused in such a small amount of time (You could almost write your name on the case). If you compared mine and my other friends MBP to his; his MBP looked like it was 10 years old and had served in an active war-zone. That's how bad the MBP had gotten after ONE MONTH. The really crazy thing was that he was EXTREMELY tight with money, more-so than anyone I've ever met. It was such a contradiction to see someone that tight with money who couldn't be bothered to look after a £1000, brand new MacBook Pro.
In new MacBook with M1 chip you cannot replace the screen DIY, it is locked the the motherboard with a serial. If you do, it will show a big error on the side that screen is not original, and might not work at all.
"To assist with installation, a microscope would be recommended for this; but as I don't have one, I just did it by eye." Ah, the words of an eighteen-year-old.
Hey Hugh, great video as usual. What about that collab with your friend, where you were repairing an old vehicle? You never mentioned again the channel/the project.
Still rocking my 2011 MBP. Swapped out the battery, upgraded RAM and switched to SSD. Works like a dream, plus I don't need to spend money on annoying adapters thanks to its plethora of ports!
Nice repair work - that is so much better than the old wreck it once was, and also saves it from the e-waste pile :) I'm surprised that someone hacked out part of the battery! Those battery cells (which are still there) can be re-purposed in electronic projects, if you get in contact with people who are into electronic engineering and the like. I routinely buy job lots of laptop batteries on the cheap in order to salvage Li-Ion cells for projects, and the Macbook ones generally have more capacity remaing compared to Windows laptops (Windows only reports the battery as dead when its capacity reaches 40%!). Shame that this was the first of the laptops to feature soldered RAM, proprietory parts (such as the SSD) and no disk drive... IMO the Unibody 2012 was the best one; shame it won't take Mac OS 11 Big Sur (will only got to 10.15 Catalina).
I love the video That said I have to point out the awful world of Mac screens are constantly fluctuating. You were so close to why it is the screen was expensive. It's actually because of demand for a part that is not manufactured in spare. Every OE screen on the internet (aside from very private grey markets) came from a MacBook. It's frustrating, but that's the world of repair Apple created.
Literally, How can a computer be destroyed THAT much?!?! Insane. I am the complete opposite. I recently ordered a 16" MacBook Pro (upgrading from the first Late 2008 MacBook Pro unibody). For the 16" MacBook I ordered a screen protector, a trackpad protector, a Touchbar protector, a snap on case, a sleeve for carrying, a keybard cover and a silicone case for the charger (so it doesn't slide around). :D
I think the early user or something else has managed to remove the SSD and speakers and battery to use in a different laptop or device. It’s really great that you can fix literally anything. People should gave their old device to you as your are doing kind of a service towards the environment. Great video man.
Man, they went John Wick on that Macbook. I just got done rebuilding a Macbook pro I got off ebay. It had a busted LCD screen. I was about to get it for $100 what I did not know was the camera cable is 6 pin and my board's video port is 12 pin. Other than that it works great. Your videos are such a great help. I am a real noob when it comes to apple products.
Good work. I was taught to spread the thermal paste around to provide full contact between the solid state device and the heat sink. This as opposed to the large dot method you showed here. Something to consider for your next one. At any rate..well done sir.
That was very satisfying, I must say. BTW, if memory serves, I think it was Louis Rossmann who described OWC's SSDs as being by far the worst on the market, which you will agree is low praise indeed! You might want to investigate that. Otherwise, I found them to be a bit expensive but nice enough to deal with a few years ago.
I work at a repair center, and no we do not replace just the battery on the newer MacBooks, we just replace the whole Top Case (and that’s what Apple does too) ;)
Hey, Hugh! A friend linked me this video, after seeing that Mac, and said it looked like my old MacBook, and sure enough it is! I recycled that Mac back in 2017, the Mac actually fell out of my car on the freeway, and I found it after an hour of searching for it... Insane video you have there, keep up the good work!
Delimitation is common on Retina Macbook Pros and newer MacBooks where the top layer over time will peel and come off that is probably why the display is peeling and layers are coming off. The apple logos on older MacBooks use thin glass and it is not uncommon to have cracked apple logo on older MacBooks. As for the battery someone may have on purpose cut it out for some reason it could have been dropped that maybe is why it is scratched as the aluminum housing scratches and dings easily and the speakers are broken and why the display is cracked and ribbon cable could have also broke during that fall.
Really good video Jeff, i really like your videos and please do more macbook videos. And like you said the older 2015 to 2013 have a huge demand on the used market. I can sell the 2015 models way quicker than the newer ones from 2016-2018 (2019 with new keyboards are easier to sell guess why haha). I would only recommend to clean that charging port and the other ports, i think you probably done that but since you didn´t showed im just saying Thanks for saving this macbook!
Hello Hugh, i really like your videos especially with mac books, i buy a macbook pro 2011 and i tried to restore it when it arrived, good bless from Czech Republic

Hey, Hugh! A friend linked me this video, after seeing that Mac, and said it looked like my old MacBook, and sure enough it is! I recycled that Mac back in 2017, the Mac actually fell out of my car on the freeway, and I found it after an hour of searching for it... Insane video you have there, keep up the good work!
I feel the thermal pasting so satisfying.
I hope your having a good day hugh
I love your videos. Also your voice is like so soothing 😂 keep up the awesome work!

I think his neighbour had got that macbook😂😂😂
That iFixit kit is awesome!
Delimitation is common on Retina Macbook Pros and newer MacBooks where the top layer over time will peel and come off that is probably why the display is peeling and layers are coming off. The apple logos on older MacBooks use thin glass and it is not uncommon to have cracked apple logo on older MacBooks. As for the battery someone may have on purpose cut it out for some reason it could have been dropped that maybe is why it is scratched as the aluminum housing scratches and dings easily and the speakers are broken and why the display is cracked and ribbon cable could have also broke during that fall.
that laptop is not sad
*it is depressed*
Watching your videos gives me How It’s Made vibes
Really good video Jeff, i really like your videos and please do more macbook videos.
And like you said the older 2015 to 2013 have a huge demand on the used market. I can sell the 2015 models way quicker than the newer ones from 2016-2018 (2019 with new keyboards are easier to sell guess why haha).
I would only recommend to clean that charging port and the other ports, i think you probably done that but since you didn´t showed im just saying
Thanks for saving this macbook!
Hello Hugh, i really like your videos especially with mac books, i buy a macbook pro 2011 and i tried to restore it when it arrived, good bless from Czech Republic
