@12:30 Feature request of big blinking center zoom with arrows pointing to the center and loud speaker screaming "It's in da middle", and then a groin punch to deliver the respect earned - got it.
We watched the video cbc news made that included your video about how kuch the genius bar can make you pay more than a 1000$ yesterday in my philosophy class. Pretty cool!
Thanks Louis. By far, this repair was one of the best you've done because you explained everything so nicely and it was really imformative. Know that repairs are not as appealling as your other videos but for us the few we really appreciate it. BIG thanks and i hope you'll have a GREAT day!❤
"Now we're just going to probe this happy little capacitor over here." "Remove that solder ball, just get in there with those tweezers and beat the devil out of it."

It would be nice if Mac made their boards more modular, like the Framework Laptop, cos it is easier to fix, but then Rossmann would be almost out of business.
I brought my iMac into a place here in town and asked if they knew you. While the guy is helping me at the front somebody from the back yells out, “Why would we follow him when we can do what he does??” It was simply a point of conversation and the guy was totally full of himself and obviously has a big ego 🙄 If I could I would much rather come to your shop 😀
@@rossmanngroup you say abrasive, I see honest and not caring to sugar coat things, something I'm coming to appreciate more and more when I come across it in public.

I love this! Although you've moved on to other topics recently (which I also enjoy quite a bit!), you are continuing to gain two audiences through this one channel. Genius.
Yep. Parts numbers are so confusing. Maybe, 1989 means the 1989th design revision, or something like that or a part #, or the MacBook was released 1989 days after the initial prototypes. I don't know, I'm not an engineer, yet. :)
I’ve got an iPhone 13 coming tomorrow. The old 6s just isn’t cutting it. 6 years for an £800 phone. I can live with that. Not a popular opinion but Apple have been pretty good, here in the sunny U.K. Because they have to be. It’s your laws that are bad. Shame you have lunatics that push it too far. Abolish muh police, or maybe just screen them and train them better.
I liked the classic fix video and also the thoughts about somebody considered genius just because he can do something i can't. Way to go, Louis. Lately I've fixed my electric stove and even the main board (PCB) of my gas boiler/furnace. It was cheaper than calling a technician, quicker, but the best part? Being proud of my work and seeing that my wife is proud of me, too. Thanks for your videos! And yes, I did learn something. Quite a lot, actually.
Louis, I fucking love you. I had the exact same issue so i followed every single step, I was missing one piece of equipment though, a lab psu or a voltage injection tool. So I thought to myself "what would Louis do?" and soldered a crocodile clamp and a cable to a 1.5V AA Battery. Found the short, removed the cap. Greetings from Germany!
Me, too, thought this was going to be a lecture about how, in 1989, their efforts to *hide* or *close* the architecture of their products, was not as advanced or pernicious as they are today, and thus, it was going to be very easy to repair.
Tell me about it, I’m a mechanical engineer. The only way I can understand electronics is if it’s expressed in terms of fluid dynamics. Best analogy is always to compare electrical systems to a closed thermodynamic system, just treat the voltage as mass and current as flow rate.
Big thanks for showing the workflow and methods in such detail. I somehow find it comforting to see you work and talk about it. The auey test looked familiar to me. I get that far at least,...
cool debug!! When I look for shorts, to prevent killing other things (like burning traces), I set up a Current Limit to 1-2 amps. Love your OWIE approach, Louis!! Keep up this fixer detective series!
Not sure why, but I enjoy your repair videos more than your talking head videos. Not that the topics you cover aren't important. I just like seeing good trouble shooting.
So i've had a bad week with a significant person in my life passing on. So i'm concentrating on this quite serious repair vid and out of the blue I hear "..a laser soldier sounds scary. If they make soldiers that can shoot lasers out of their eye like superman then we're all f$%#@%d..." and I lost it, and I'm in a busy cafe. Thank you my friend. Humour in our lives is a cure for everything.
I read the title as "A 1989 macbook". Wha!???! Mac laptop from 1989!? Closest thing then was the //c. I admit sometimes im tempted to take my apple //e to the genius bar and see their reaction.
Every macbook you save from a land fill Louis is $1500 less for Tim Apple. I'm sure there are legions of middle managers at Apple with targets to make "line go up" who don't get to make as much money because some people out there can fix these machines and breath new life into them.
ive always had android phones for the customization, but apple has made enough progress i might actually get an iphone if they go to type c and kill the notch. depends on their interface, because the gesture interface is super offensive on my ipad. i dont like samsung, hate my pixel 6, and moto hasnt made a great phone in a while. what other options are there on verizon?
Ever thought of investing in electric screwdrivers? The small ones that are alittle bigger than the manual drivers, they would make work easier and quicker.
We'll try to figure out whats gets hot using the au methot. I would usually use the thermal camera but I'm using linux and nothing work with lunix. So I can not use the thermal camera that I have with lunix because... well lunix. Oh there is no software for it. There I guess there would be if I coded it myself. But I'm not smart enough to do that. I'm barely even smart enough to use software that other people code for me like Paul Denials. So how do I be smart enough to code my own. _I am not a smart person. You just think I am smart because I know how to do something that you don't know how to do. And that is one of the biggest _*_fallacies(yanlış düşünce)_*_ in the world when people call people smarter-geniuses, because they can see that they know how to something they don't. It's one of the _*_coping mechanisms_*_ people have. It is coping mechanism. You see.. _*_If you say, instead of saying that is a normal person that knows how to do something I don't. It's like: Ok well.. you could learn it. Where as if you say Oh my god! That person is a genius! They're so smart! What you're doing is you are putting them above yourself to an extend that It kind of disables you from believing that you can actually accomplish what they've accomplised._*_ Which is why It's very important to me though always maintain on this channel (youtube) that I am an idiot! I am not going to give any of you an excuse to not learn, at least try to learn how to do what it is that I do. And that is the idea._ Get more people fixing things. Get more peaole learning. Get more macbook out of landfills. This was the best part for me. Always enjoing these kind of talk when you are doing your repairs.. Thanks again.

the best part of this video is despite the editing, it has a happy ending including an evil laugh - muhaHAHAHAHAHA
I miss these board repairs, It's good to see you doing it again.
You are like the Bob Ross of computer repair.

Watching this video was probably the most relaxing thing I've done all week. Thank you for minor tune up to my mental health!
I thought Louis was legitimately going to repair a macbook from 1989 and was like woah, then we got to the USB-C part and I was like wait....
Yep. Parts numbers are so confusing. Maybe, 1989 means the 1989th design revision, or something like that or a part #, or the MacBook was released 1989 days after the initial prototypes. I don't know, I'm not an engineer, yet. :)
This is my favorite repair video youve done. and ive seen alot of them, lol. your thought process and analysis is gold. please do more!
"I haven't done this for awhile so I forgot how much apple products suck" xD
I’ve got an iPhone 13 coming tomorrow.

Greetings from Germany!
I read "A 1989 Macbook" and I thought Louis was going to repair a Macintosh Portable. Slightly disappointed that it's just a regular Macbook.
yeah same here
Me, too, thought this was going to be a lecture about how, in 1989, their efforts to *hide* or *close* the architecture of their products, was not as advanced or pernicious as they are today, and thus, it was going to be very easy to repair.
Yes! More videos like this please! I also love your calming voice!
I dont even really like computers (prefer mechanical things), let alone macs but its always soothing to watch an expert showcase their skills.
Tell me about it, I’m a mechanical engineer.
The only way I can understand electronics is if it’s expressed in terms of fluid dynamics.

Nice one Lewis👌
Like back in the old days, i still love your repair videos. It makes me feel relaxed and ready to go asleep.
Greetings!
I haven't had time to catch up on the live stream vod lately so good to have an extract
Hope whatever that mail is, isn't too bad or crazy.

I open my mail once a year lol. I miss these videos.

Love your OWIE approach, Louis!! Keep up this fixer detective series!
Love the owie test. Fingers never lie with heat. Yes, that is hot.
Haven't watched your stuff I a while, missed it. As always, good vid. I'll keep checking in, have a good day
Good to see you back, 😊👍👍👍
Not sure why, but I enjoy your repair videos more than your talking head videos. Not that the topics you cover aren't important. I just like seeing good trouble shooting.
Did anyone else click this video wondering if they even made Macbooks in 1989, or was it just me?
I enjoy watching you repair
It is fun to follow along with you.
this is an unusuall clean motherboard
Only apply dirtied it up
This is a lot more interesting than I could have imagined
So i've had a bad week with a significant person in my life passing on. So i'm concentrating on this quite serious repair vid and out of the blue I hear "..a laser soldier sounds scary.

Several moments in this one gave me the Bob Ross meditative state.
Came here to watch a 1989 MacBook repairs. Have been pretty surprised how advanced the technology was at the time. =))
All I saw was A 1989 mackbook I thought he must have mistyped the year.
One can really feel that you enjoy working with MacBooks. :D
Solder balls are a feature, not a defect.
Louis this is really cool stuff. I never knew Macbooks had these sorts of issues. Thanks for sharing!
I read the title as "A 1989 macbook". Wha!???! Mac laptop from 1989!? Closest thing then was the //c. I admit sometimes im tempted to take my apple //e to the genius bar and see their reaction.
17:37 I'm only here for your good looks.
Thank you for the repair vid.
11:20 - It takes the voltage-in and puts it on its skin.
(Also, I find the owie test immensely hilarious. I am a simple man!)
I misread it as "a 1989 macbook not charging" and I said "wow, that was early in the life of apple".
Louis seriously I don't know how you do it, the moment I put the hot air on the board, the Flux dries up. Yours seems different
31:23 Soldier 😂
Thank you for doing a repair video! My cat's in the hospital, I need to take my mind off things. Is this really a 1989 MacBook?
No, it's an A1989 macbook
14:17 I laughed so hard here lol
Papa!
So much easy when we have the schematic.
hi Louis Rossmann thanks for helpful vd. i have question please tell me whats is the voltage power supply we can use for same problem or same work
Make Macbook Work Again.
I was thinking I didn't know they had Macbooks in 1989
Every macbook you save from a land fill Louis is $1500 less for Tim Apple. I'm sure there are legions of middle managers at Apple with targets to make "line go up" who don't get to make as much money because some people out there can fix these machines and breath new life into them.
I am getting 0.6V at that big chunky f7000 fuse. 9 megaohm resistance to ground. Cd3215 fuckup?
why that cap burn? quality issue?
Bob Rossmann
I have a a1989 that won’t turn on but I was seeing service battery. Can the battery be the problem ?
yay
36:15
But it didn't!
It still amazes me that Apple would charge you for a new board plus labor or tell you it's toast and buy a new computer.
how can i get schematic and board viewer for mac
thanks you for your helps
PP_BUS sounds like something a 5 year old would make up
Hi Sir im just asking where did you get your schematic and bitmap for macbook?can please share to me or where i can buy?thanks.godbless
Damn Paul Daniels…..ummm.. who is Paul Daniels? 🤔😂
Sweet mercy...
'89?! Where do you shovel the coal in?
hi, i've got the same board, however, im getting 12v+ in R6900 instead of 3.3v only which part could be faulty?. thanks if i can get feedback
Last few seconds of this video are delicious, LOL.
1989 seems a bit early for a MacBook.
ive always had android phones for the customization, but apple has made enough progress i might actually get an iphone if they go to type c and kill the notch. depends on their interface, because the gesture interface is super offensive on my ipad.
i dont like samsung, hate my pixel 6, and moto hasnt made a great phone in a while. what other options are there on verizon?
@@Skedge they were dead to me after 3, their value took a dump. also, are they compatible with verizon? thats the biggest problem ive seen
@@CatnamedMittens nah, the value is there on the hardware, problem is the software has been a dumpster fire for me
board repair? I thought this was a cat channel.
Winner winner chicken dinner :)

for a second I thought this macbook was from 1989

Ok, so does this all mean that we can skip the “understanding board logic” part and just point a thermal camera at stuff to know what to fix?
😂
Wow, a macbook from 1989
So much for not swearing on camera lol
Ahh, a Louis board repair video. Comfort zone.
😂🤮Apple's produkter 😂😂
Us idiots work in the software business, too.

Third!
First
i read the title with a space between A and 1989 and was confused thinking a macbook existed in 1989
