$100 Trashed MacBook Pro Restoration & Rebuild + Custom Apple Logo & Keyboard

- This MacBook saw many years of abuse from its previous owner, thankfully it landed into my hands and now its time is was brought back to brand new condition.
I purchased this MacBook Pro for $100, with it came with a brand new Apple charger still in plastic (valued at $120). So I basically purchased a new charger and received a free MacBook Pro...

There is a glitch issue for about 7 seconds at 6:45, it is an issue on TH-cams end as the original file doesn't have the issue. No idea why it occurred but regardless enjoy the video.
Also for those who thought I didn't clean the logic board, I did but I removed the clip from the video when editing. I didn't leave it as it was at the beginning but in saying that I didn't make it spotless anyway much better than it was. :)
K
I thought my phone was broke lol
I thought you played around with filters
i thought my GPU was spazzing out XD
Honestly I thought you did that on purpose just for fun.
The fact that he didn't cleaned the motherboard with an old toothbrush or blasted it with air.. kinda'... bugs me..
It made my eyes bleed
and that fan...
I literally watched the video up until that point so that I could watch him do it, but he didn't i'm pissed now.
isopropyl alcohol should have been used :(
just a simple soft brush wont hurt... why he didn't do it... guuhh....
Did everything perfect, the motherboard though
There is chance that while cleaning the mother board with a brush or some cloth static electricity is produced and it ll blow up your motherboard
@@akashdeepganesh2420 with isopropyl alcohol? Not a chance
@@viniciusborges5276 mabye u scrubbt a lite to Hard and rippt off some coponets
@@akashdeepganesh2420 the brush is designed not to create static electricity
bruh
That’s a REALLY bad joke.
The one thing I would do as an extra step is to really clean up the motherboard, just to make sure it is squeaky clean. You already put a lot of time and effort into restoring this Macbook.
Yeah I was about to write the same comment. MagSafe connector was a bit dirty too.
I was thinking the same.
Yeah thats true!
And most importantly, the cooling fan. That thing was still dirty when it went in....
IKR, this made me mad. How difficult is to clean it, to do it all the way.
leaving the motherboard filthy is really a disturbing sight
The world needs more chaps like you who recycle, refurbish and put electronics like this back into use instead of them ending up in a landfill, or worse polluting our oceans and lands...
makes MacBook great again
Apple: *wait that's illegal*
@GamerZoneArmy what’s Apple gonna do with it? Will they buy their busted products?
yeah, where's the soldered ram?
If you like this video you may like my joblot of Macs which ive recently purchased and im going to part out or try to repair:

I honestly tend to find MacBooks last longer than Windows laptops of similar age. I have a MacBook Pro early 2008 that works beautifully, and an even older ~2003 12" PowerBook G4 that still works.
Genius Bars may break it again
Dislike this video because he put back the dusty board without a proper cleaning
He Could Clean IT Better Than You.
He did clean it, he even says so in a comment below, but it's not easy to find!
Didn’t clean the MagSafe port though ☝️ bit of acetone and a cotton bud would have had that like a new one. Dirty bugger
@@MeneGR he def did not!leaving the fan like this is making all that effor senseless..that reduces the speed and functionality of the fan alot...just a regular compressed air would have done the trick

Hugh: By far the worst condition I've ever seen
Me: *Clearly we haven't met*
lol
Lolllllllllll
He ever seen? Year later he seen a 1970s computer and cleaned it that probably has spiders inside
Hugh: I just repaired a 100$ old mac book.
Me: What did it cost?
Hugh: Everything.
lol
XD
I was really sad that he didn't put a total cost at the end of the video.
@@AriTheElk That is true. Some of the comments here are crap, but you make a valid point. If it cost $400 in total, good value. If it cost $800 in total, probably not.
@@ianchapple7240 I'd say definitely not on $800 for a nearly nine year old MacBook. Then again, if iFixIt is footing the bill just for him to show a restore, then more power to him.
Ignore the restoration, what was the previous owner doing with the laptop? 🤔

i felt your pain as well brother..he didn't clean the fan. He didn't use compressed air to clean all the dust even use any brush to clean all the dust. what the pain in the ass this man!
He said in a comment that he cleaned its hard to find
I did exactly what this guy did when replacing an LCD in one of these, it halves to cover the entire glass in packing tape so glass shards don't get everywhere. Also works with iPads and phones.
Why didn’t you blow out the fan? It’s caked with dust still.
The previous owner treated his Mac like it was a Thinkpad :P
Guineapiggaming 444 I was going to say this.
I mean like, I would treat my Thinkpad well, give it a backlit keyboard, SSD, and upgraded RAM. The previous person who owns this mac is just an abusive "innocent" user that complains when he/she knows that they needed a new macbook but just couldn't bother to take care of this one
THANK YOU THINKPAD

Hugh you should invest in an oil free air compressor to quickly give everything a shot of high pressure air rather than rubbing with a cloth.
I was about to write the same thing... or you can settle for those overpriced aerosol compressed air cans, but the compressor will serve you better in the long run.
@crazy waters Luckily I found a man who understood it!
I actually used the football inflator needle with a bicycle pump and it worked perfectly.
Did he even clean anything on the logic board?
E U C A L Y P T U S O I L ?
cleaned it with air, just cut the clip from the video. Its not spotless because I couldn't exactly wash it under water....
Hugh Jeffreys you could’ve given it a nice clean with isopropyl alcohol
@@HughJeffreys A soft brush would have cleaned it decently
Hugh Jeffreys you can use brake cleaner learned this from tech yes city. Done it before myself I just let it dry under a fan after.
My old 2011 MBP has almost the same dent/bend near the Ethernet jack, it's due to the thinness of the case section in that area. The day my (then) 5 y/o daughter sent it flying across the room when she tripped over a cable connected to a USB, I completely freaked as my Mac cartwheeled across the floor, getting the afore-mentioned bend and also a big dent at the top right corner of the display. Remarkably, nothing, including the 1TB disk drive sustained functional damage. Ultimately, I replaced the HDD with a SSD to give it a speed boost, but this soon to be 9 year old MBP is still in service as a net TV and media server for my now 12 year old daughter, who just got an upgrade with a new 2019 MBP for Christmas. But she learned to work and code on the old beat-up box and she loves to show people the damage and dramatically exclaim "I did that when I was a baby, but it still works!". So I'm not surprised to see you can rescue an old MBP.
Everything was fine until he “cleaned” the motherboard and put the thermal paste.
That's crazy don't remember asking
I think he cleaned that before lol
Not mention he left the crusty old thermal paste on the sides and just cleaned the top of the cpu lol.
So
If he tried cleaning the paste off the sides, he would risk chipping the die. I think it’s not really a risk worth taking to avoid some angry comments.
Hugh: *replaces screen*
Screw:Im about to end this man's whole career
Then a microscopic 5-leafed clover jumped onto his arm...
(Not over-exaggerating, but this is just a joke. Please don’t take this seriously.)
@@MCAlexisYT lol
When I see these old MacBook videos, I feel so proud of my free original MacBook Air. I think it’s like, the cleanest old MacBook around.
I got triggered when he didn't use compressed air on the motherboard. Also, you shouldn't spread the thermal paste...
Andrei Agulescu yeah
Spreading the thermal paste isn't gonna do anything bad but it isn't needed unless you have an AMD Threadripper (That thing's huge). Also, I think he put a bit too much thermal paste
He's a dickhead... Didn't you got that? Anybody that talks about Mcbooks is such a stupid...
He probably didn't have any compressed air on him so he did the best he could.
Marco Castiglia “is such a stupid” lmao okay.
Imagine the time spent in restoring this one, props to you man don’t get tired making this kind of video. Salute !
Whole video took over 20hrs to make, thats restoring the MacBook, B-Roll shots, editing, voice over and everything else.

Hugh.. please clean that board!! That is very dirty. Use compressed air and a brush
Yeah that bothered me too, a brush would have done the trick. Also the cooling fan was still quite dusty.
YES! if anyone is reading, USE A BRUSH OR COMPRESSED AIR, not a vacuum. Vacuums cause static, which can damage electronics
That won't clean everything on the board. Instead just use a damp cloth
@@andra_syawwal A good rinse with distilled water followed by alcohol works very well.
@Barry ManilowaAgreed, but I don't have that. So I simply wash boards very carefully and dry them. Easy in Texas sun!
Imagine doing a restoration but not bothering to clean the motherboard. 🤔
Or the fan...
Exactly!
Its no longer simply a 100 dollar macbook pro, but i am guessing all in all cost is around 200-300 bucks? Why dont he remove the dust and make it look new in the inside.??
And it's so simple to dust it off.. just take a brush and a vacuum cleaner
How much does a can of compressed air cost?
I can't be the only one watching this video on a windows laptop with no intentions to purchase a macbook anytime in the future
dude.....your not alone
Windows is trash!!!
@Snorkel 4WD lmfao people say windows is trash and then have to pay upwards of a few hundred dollars to fix a dead hard drive or dusty fan. On top of that most mainstream Apple users are pretty tech illiterate

Good job Hugh! You got a sponsor! Can’t believe we’ve came this far lol
Watching this made me realise how complicated the interior workings are, I love the confidence you have to do this work.
god, i can’t even imagine what it’s like to completely disassemble one of these. i took out the motherboard of my early 2011 mbp 13 to replace the thermal paste and it made me hella nervous
My 6-year-old early 2015 MacBook Air has 1,313 charge cycles. It still lasts longer than my 1-year-old HP laptop.
it's just funny that i found this entertaining rather than informative. it's so interesting to watch vids like this
same lol
I know right. I’ve learned so much
Why didn't you use toothbrush with alcohol to clean it?
@glazezboy No it won't. You can use alcohol, or even water and soap to clean the board. But you need to ensure it's 100% dry before powering back up.
No it won’t. Smh.
@@booboo699254 water and soap causes the board to corrode and rust over time due to reaction
@@shzammpatapon9865 Nope, it does not. Water is used by the industry to clean boards after going through automated manufacturing. I know, I've worked in this field. Google it and you will find information. The key is removing all water and contaminants (such as the soap).
@@shzammpatapon9865 Here's a video of another method using water and ultrasonic machines. Other comments have mentioned this as well... th-cam.com/video/R7xjFCAV0u0/w-d-xo.html
Dude, use some protective gloves when you open so old dirty MBPs! You can catch some nasty fungus.
Also that glass pieces!
He can just suck the fungus off though
I used to own a small call center and would have everyone clean desks every Friday, there would always be a visible layer of boogers, hair, scabs, skin flakes, chin whiskers, eye lashes, etc after they would pound their keyboards out over the garbage can.
J Williams that’s some nasty stuff but that’s awesome everyone helped clean it and sanitise all the germs out of there
For anyone that is wondering how much it costs (from ifixit website):
1)Battery $95
2)Ssd $170
3)Case (upper and bottom) $100
4)Clutch cover $10
5)Display glass $50
Total: $425 + $100 = $525
(add also the time that you would need to make this restoration happen)
$700 (at least)
not worth it.
Absolutely agree. You could get better condition shmapple MacBook for hundred bucks more and spend less on new parts for restoration.
Thank you
But then you don't have a video.
I thought my screen was glitching out at 6:46 Did anyone else see this?
Edit: Apparently it has been fixed.

I run a similar laptop. I like being able to play a DVD if I want; though I’m sure that dates me. I gave 16 Gb of ram in mine; I don’t recall the processor speed but it’s the top processor/GOU combo and the last laptop with a SuperDrive. I have a 1 Gb Samsung 950 Evo that makes this fun as well as a newer machine. I have a few Mac and while I bought new at one point find much more value in used systems; you also benefit from knowing any problems that have arisen, like keyboards, that you don’t know on new machines. Macs seem to hold up and age better then other systems; I’m glad to see you bringing things back in these days of throw away tech.
As a builder and Tech enthusiast, I found this restoration almost beautiful... Except the part where the board/fans/cables weren't blown out with Compressed air and cleaned with Alcohol. Also, while it's not STRICTLY necessary to spread the paste out [pressure will do that] either way is acceptable [except that huge piece of hair stuck to your spudger while spreading >.> Don't contaminate the paste :P Yeah, I'm nitpicking. . sue me. .but overall I really enjoyed watching this ^^
Yes when I used to maintenance my Xbox changing the thermal paste I figured out that you actually don't need that much paste and the pressure from putting stuff back together should be more than enough to spread the paste
Blowing PC parts with compressed air just forces dust INTO the nooks and crannies and ports. Instead use a small handheld vacuum (the kind that are $15 on amazon, used to be known as dustbusters) and a tiny soft paint brush to dislodge the dust as you go.
@@blueridge8992 You need to be careful with that, as vacuums, even hand held ones, CAN cause static. You're not wrong about the potential issues with compressed air, especially if the dust is old and kinda sticky-ish, hence the alcohol suggestion. ALso, a gentle bristly paintbrush is a GREAT tool for getting loose debris off of motherboards
This comments section is toxic af 😂😂
The purpose was not to be economical or practical, it was to have an old device work like new again 🤦🏽 it’s like you don’t buy an old trashed car and do it up over months and years because it’s “economical” or “Practical” . You do it for the fun and enjoyment and hobby aspect of it. The satisfaction of brining something back from the dead so to speak. And my first ever MacBook Pro was this exact model from 2011/12 and honestly I regret selling it. They were a really nice solid build, not all thin and light with no key-stroke travel like the current ones.
If you buying any use parts you didn't have any warranty but you will not pay full retail price for your device like in this case. You will end with device for good price, fraction of a cost of brand new when it hit the market. If you have to replace any broken parts just watch your budget. This device you will be in use anyway so after years by it will be worn. Treat device as a tool. If it works and done good it's job why you should change any?
Dori21ha literally have no clue what you’re talking about 🧐
@@rubes3927 I don't believe you will only work for fun, when you losing money. Building something from ground up just to invest more time and money. It is pointless. Always work should have a purpose. When you making something custom with right purpose then money aspect is less important.
Dori21ha he’s not doing it for money you knob. Read my comment. The key word being “hobby”. The definition of which is something you do for fun in your spare time.
In my opinion it is not only just for fun, it is not non profit action when you making video to YT. This build despite it cost have a reason to finish. It is not all about of money, but if you can not afford to do this you just blowing your time and money and you will never finish your project. Always have a purpose in live. When you want to do something just for fun share the joy with other and you will always left with something.
If you're looking at purchasing a macbook I would definitely recommend preowed or refurbished as you will get much more for your money. I bought a 2013 i5 air in 2015 for 300 AUD. It still works perfectly now even after daily use for years. I've never had to replace and the only repair I've done is removing dust from the fans.
I would recommend cleaning the remaining parts with a soft toothbrush and use alcohol to clean the CPU heatsink. It's best to not smear thermal paste, as you don't want any dust or contamination in the paste. Use the pea method. Ok now I feel better.

In iFixit:
-Lower case: $150
-Upper case with kb: $150
Couldn't find a screen cover, only the whole thing with screen ($400), so a took a look in eBay:
-Second hand good condition (not perfect, though) screen casing: $75
Adding the cost of the MBP itself, all that sums $475 (I have not taken into account battery and SSD HD).
And for that sum you can buy a second hand 2012 MBP 13" in good condition, maybe less.
For $500 you can already buy decent retina MacBooks (post-2013). This is just one giant ad for iFixit.
@@Jirk4 yeah none of these restoration videos are for profit like how would that be possible if everyone is tryna fuck everyone in the asshole
hi guys! I have a pro account with iFixit, which is something you can get with a free application The rates I see for the parts in this video are as follows:
Upper case 49.99
Lower case 59.99
I am fairly sure iFixit doesn't sell the top case as it features the apple logo, which, given recent import issues across the world with parts that have an apple logo (iPhone back cases being a prime example) makes sense.
I do not see any issues with these prices, as they usually beat out what I see on ebay/etc.
Feel free to call me wrong or an idiot if you think I'm shilling for ifixit but I've worked with them for years and can assure you that they aren't in the practice of scamming novice repair people.
Amelia Pytosh The real question is why video author does not mention prices at all, something essential in any restoration, even more when he tries to sell it as a “bargain”.
What’s more: even with your prices (add screen casing and screen front glass -which I forgot to add to the addition-), total amount is easily over 300€, and for that price you can get a good condition 2012 13” MBP at eBay:

Great restoration, I can see why you went for replacing the frame and other components since the old frame was in such rough condition. Also nice customizations!
Though a couple of the ports and the motherboard could have been cleaned a bit better, the RAM could do with being upgraded to 8GB, and I'd have personally installed OS X 10.11 instead of 10.9. A lot of programs now, even Google Chrome and Spotify, require OS X 10.11 or better.

You are the best at repairing devices!
Please use a soft brush next time and gently brush away the dust :^), and you didn´t clean the fan ... ouch that hurt. But still great work !
Yes and with isopropylic alcool, your motherboard is full of dust
The big question is, how much did all of this cost? + time = not worth it
right how much did it all cost? the time i don't personally mind
I see everyone saying how he practically replaced everything, but let’s be honest, none of us could fix it anyway, and if we could then we should tell him how to improve and not diss his methods
little kids when he says i like purple HA GAYYYY
every normal people nice man
Hm, in all fairness this feels less like a restoration and more like a "transfer all" into new case. Not taking away from your hard work. You still did an excellent job and I didn't think I'd like the purple but you proved me wrong :)
I've never seen a MacBook in such bad condition, you were very brave to take the challenge to fix it, probably the money invested to fix it would not be worth it for a normal person, but the video is very educational.
"It is by far the worst condition mac I have ever seen" Challenge accepted.
It has a number of dents: Mine are bigger!
Scratches: Oh hell yeah
Bent: Tick
Hinge Broken: Yup
Missing 2 feet: Im missing 3
Late 2011 model: Mine's 2010
My Additional Problems: Trackpad permanently gets stuck, charger is held together by masking tape, half the keys aren't backlit anymore since i spilled orange juice on it, service battery messaged displayed for the last 2 years, everything crashes all the time, i run the fan permanently at max because even watching a youtube video on 720 overheats it these days.
I would love to see your despair if you could see this thing.
Excellent restoration work! How much did the components cost?
I fix it is very expensive
Love your videos man, I recently upgraded my old late 2009 apple mac desktop 21.5 inch. Swapped the mechanical dead harddrive out with a samsung 870 evo ssd and upgraded the ram with 2 more gb chips to get the full 8gb of ram.. love how fast it is now I just have to dig back into it at some point to do something with that tempature sensor that's not plugged into anything in order to control fan speed..
This is completely missing a break down of the prices on parts, and time spent.
I think the video is just for entertainment but whatever
@@sinanadolny8585 Hmm, I think it was more about making an old cheap machine have a new life; he even mentioned he has been and plans to continue using it.
If it was purely entertainment I don't think he'd have mentioned his use cases.
So $600 to fix $75 for the computer.....$675 for a 8yr old computer hahahaha thats ridiculous
@@kylestewart6760 Yeh, for that money you could buy a much newer machine. Even if you kept to a Macbook Pro you could get something newer with USB3, and core i5 cpu.
Why don't you stfu you old piece of shit he has a lot of money and this video is for informational and entertainment purposes
Title : restoration
