Agreed! The reason why manufacturers moved to soldering CPU’s, SSD’s, RAM, and other components to the MB simply to keep you coming back and buying a whole new machine. It’s the same companies that push for “green” products yet make it near impossible to refurbish your old equipment.
This fights absolutely nothing at all. .The machine is still obsolete in the exact same way. It’s slightly faster but you still cannot install Mac Os Ventura
the pcb water is called isopropanol, the solder paste is called flux, and the thermal glue is called thermal paste. solder paste is flux with added solder, but the glue around the cpu after cpu-change is missing. ^^ i like the video and want to learn how to replace soldered cpu´s, reprogram chips, bios, and pcb repair. thank you, good work!
There's actually a thing called solder paste, it replaces the soldering wire found commonly. Usually used in automated machines where they use a mask to apply solder paste, a pick and place machine places components on PCB and finally the board is baked in a temperature controlled oven.
I wish this guy offered this as a service I could pay for. What a genius ! Always seen comments where hundreds of people said this isn’t possible and laughed at the idea. Well who’s laughing now look at this man defy apple forcing us to buy more macs
Yup this was my thoughts. I have an I5 ITX build, there is just enough room in there to cool that. I tried putting an I7 in there and the performance increase vs the noise of the fan just didn't make sense to keep it.
Chinese technicians are MASTERS at repurposing ,upgrading and making new things out of antiquated devices , absolutely amazing , this is how the world should recycle E-waste.
If i ever needed to upgrade mine, ill definitely talk to you, This is beauty turning mac's into a beast! Pleasee make more video like this so you can educate every techgeek!
God Bless Master Liu, your family, and the work you do. your videos are helpful and informative, i am learning so much. keep up the great work. THANK YOU!
Should be added that displayed CPU replacement on programmable soldering station with preheater, is not for DIY at home. Although it depends... for ones who have spare money and a corner in garage or dry basement for it, it is not a problem. But unfortunately not for regular apartment dwellers.
What is more costly? To replace the complete MacBook or have done this? I guess not many people can afford such tools, let alone have such skills... BTW where to get a brand new fitting serial number?
Hi Liu, i want upgrade ssd of my macbook air 2015, what kind of ssd can i use with my macbook. Can you recommend a usable ssd for my macbook. Thank you very much 😊
Flux is called solder paste in my country. Solder in paste form is called solder dough of all things. Weird ain't it ? Got me in some trouble when following English tutorials.
I think there is anothor board cause when he complete the solder by machine the bord was clean from any flux grease also why he put one cent over cpu it will effect on heat it barrier so the cpu degree is not the same at all side and some pin will not connected fine and he didnt try and video player hd or play game to see if cpu work fine at least half hour
@@alqualonde2998 well, then its called wrong. Flux alone not solder anything, its just an added extra stuff to help to flow the solder better and easier.
Apple makes it so easy! I suppose everyone solders their CPU to the notebook motherboard now, but the upgrade process for a Mac Mini would be similar. It would be nice to have something that price with a socket. Suppose this is why a Hackintosh is a thing...

This is not an upgrade, it’s art!
Thanks
@@masterliu1892 Wonder if 8th gen could be used. If it's H-sku, I wonder if a Xeon M could be used.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 No, CPU pins are different, 2015 is the 5th generation, 8th is 2018
right, because he could have just bought a core i7 instead, then sell out the i5
I completely agreed....this is manufacturing MacBook Pro
Im more impressed that such specialist tools exist!
Yes, the technology is limitless and you can learn more interesting ways
They have existed for a while now. You can also do it manually, but the risk of bending a pin (or eating a pin because of the heat) is pretty high.
someone made bad decisions while designing the laptop
Here’s my guess, a “refurbished” i7 Mac may have undergone this process. It doesn’t look bad, just not original.
I wish I had such skills and tools. One Mac could last a lifetime. Every time a piece dies you can just replace it
Yes, you can do it. When you learn how to repair Macbook, you can repair a lot of Macbook motherboards
I bet if your tried you’d be surprised ! You can do it just as well as the OP!!!!! I bet you it isn’t as hard as you believe it is.
Ifixit can help you with that

@@MasterLiuTechnology once support of old macport is over and U cant install new apps
Very well made and interesting to watch, I have no plans to do this upgrade myself, but enjoyed learning what goes into it!
Thanks for your support!
Like a boss. lol you make this all look so simple. Applause all around to you good sir!
Thank you
This is such a mastery in fighting Apple's planned obsolescence. Replacing A1502's battery and SSD was the best I could do.
This fights absolutely nothing at all. .The machine is still obsolete in the exact same way. It’s slightly faster but you still cannot install Mac Os Ventura
And then they void your warranty for fixing their shit product into the way it should have been in the first place
@@AgentCraftwork something tells me that the warranty already expired after 8 years
@@Coolie-ds4tu The only way of fighting Apple obsolescence is not buying their crap at all.

Hello friend, thank you for your guidance. I will share more videos
There's actually a thing called solder paste, it replaces the soldering wire found commonly. Usually used in automated machines where they use a mask to apply solder paste, a pick and place machine places components on PCB and finally the board is baked in a temperature controlled oven.
I like it when our devices are easily user upgradeable such as this one :)
This is the opposite of easily upgradable, he has to reball and reflow the BGA under the cpu, it’s just more work than the machine is worth
this isnt easily user upgradable xD
@@benstockton2285 that's the
that's the joke
Not even planning on doing it but I watched the whole thing anyway 😂
Thank you
i didnt even have a macbook, but it was a nice video
How would you even do it? Buying a desoldering machine like that, which costs probably more than 3 macbooks? Not to mention the specialized toolware
Dont even have a macbook but watched it 😁
@@Beatleman91 yeah BGA machines are expensive but if you realize you need one then you probably have a reason for it. Not many people have these.
Probably the easiest upgrade video of a BGA CPU

It's risky to remove the chip like that. It's not like there's a latch to remove cpu like with desktops
People like you never ceased to impress me, Keep it up!!!
Thank you for your support
Very nice video :) but I think that an i7 with high thermal throttling is the same that to have an i5 with normal thermal throttling.
Yup this was my thoughts. I have an I5 ITX build, there is just enough room in there to cool that. I tried putting an I7 in there and the performance increase vs the noise of the fan just didn't make sense to keep it.
I got huge respect for your work, Master Liu ! On top of it, very interesting and educational !
Wonderful video and method! Is it possible to upgrade that specific MacBook Pro to Quad-core i7? Or only dual-core i7?
me interesa saber si los cursos estan disponibles en español
This is beautiful. Loved the background music too.
Prince (Explicit) by Weibing Luo 👏
thank you
Really easy and it doesn’t quite need any skills or tools.
Should not be replaced the cpu cooling as well?
Would any rework machine can be used? Why the coin?
Master Liu, can macbook pro late 2011 to change this processor? I mean from i5 to i7? 😁
buy a new one
Where do you get the upgrade CPU? I assume for another donor board?
I can't even my cereals without spilling the milk and u doing this ...

I'd like to see a modern apple silicone swap
God Bless Master Liu, your family, and the work you do. your videos are helpful and informative, i am learning so much. keep up the great work. THANK YOU!
Hi，friend ,thanks for your support
Good job but no one will actually do this as CPU are expensive, it will be cheaper to sell i5 board and just buy it board with i7.
Thanks for explaining in detail, just about to try
How did it go?? I have a macbook air from early 2015 and am tempted to try it as well^^
@@adventureclaude Do you have BGA machine?
I love your screw driver set, do you have a link to AliExpress?
Truly a master doing it's work! Well done Master Liu!
0:43 so the cooler only touches one die on the CPU PCB? That is not a good cooler.
You think this could work for the mid 2012 a1278
Long live , Master Liu
Thank you
One day I'll have MB fixing skills like you, thanks for this video and songs!

who would think it was that easy and perfotmed with tools you find in the local micro market...
Is there anyway to do this without the super expensive heating pad?
I’m new to this but an older MacBook Pro models have the i7 but not this 2015 ?
Very nice screwdriver kit. Where can it be bought?
One thing I learned from this video is I can replace the logic board and keyboard without removing the screen. Thanks!
Hi master I am from India
I love your skill and your tools
Looks easier than I thought, gonna try this in my bedroom.
What is more costly? To replace the complete MacBook or have done this? I guess not many people can afford such tools, let alone have such skills... BTW where to get a brand new fitting serial number?
H'o'w to upgrade the CPU to MacPro mid 2010 ？
I was a bit confused when it said "add solderpaste" but you meant solderflux.
how was the cpu placed back and the pins aligned perfect???????????
Can I do this with m1?
Nice job, but pretty sure there is no performance difference with that tiny cooler.
Is there any upgrades for MacBook Air mid2011 ?
And Mac Pro 2008 ?
So power stage to cpu is the same i5-i7?
@Master Liu what the price for doing that ?!
Put the seventh in such a small laptop, can the laptop cool it?
Do you do walk-ins? Swapperoo while you shop?
Hi Liu, i want upgrade ssd of my macbook air 2015, what kind of ssd can i use with my macbook. Can you recommend a usable ssd for my macbook. Thank you very much 😊
I love that one of the chips only partially touches the heat spreader.....
What is the cost of this surgery?
Good video, do you have a suggestion for thermal upgrades?
BGA chips are kinda of impossible to replace for the average joe
Easy money to make. Good skills
Do you this upgrade to the public..?? and how much will it cost
Where would you get an i7 chip from?
Great video!! What kind of tweezers are you using?
That chip programmer look’s awesome
that serial number changing tool is very interesting
Can I go to work for korea
Such an easy process , only need a gigantic factory machine , some bunch of latest and advanced tools and some glue and i'm all set
Master....What is the link for the bios tool
Ines of yhr more complete interesante an usefulls videos thanks You show allthis Wonder technical ..
Mi piacerebbe sapere che lavoro hai fatto.
Sei molto bravo ti faccio i miei più sinceri complimenti e ti auguro buone feste
What’s the performance difference between the i5 and i7 this gen?
i7 better
Not enough to be worth this trouble lol, but it's cool to see.
misterliu, quadcore would definitely a boon.
Ele trocou o processador e ainda teve que regravar a BIOS? O Mac não reconheceu o I7?
Now this was fun to watch. Should upgrade RAM next
I've been thinking about studying these processes as a major degree, is there a name for this type of procedures?
This video is fire 👏
Very complex, how to correct the core position?
ok but why thermal glue and pcb water?
That is not called solder paste… that was flux added to the board. Those are 2 completely different things.
OK,Thanks for your reminder
Flux is called solder paste in my country. Solder in paste form is called solder dough of all things. Weird ain't it ? Got me in some trouble when following English tutorials.
I think there is anothor board cause when he complete the solder by machine the bord was clean from any flux grease also why he put one cent over cpu it will effect on heat it barrier so the cpu degree is not the same at all side and some pin will not connected fine and he didnt try and video player hd or play game to see if cpu work fine at least half hour
@@alqualonde2998 well, then its called wrong. Flux alone not solder anything, its just an added extra stuff to help to flow the solder better and easier.
@@alqualonde2998it cant be called solder paste since that is in English. It is simply called flux in English.
Window cpu is that changeable
Thank you for share your knowledge Master Liu
can A1502 upgrade ram to 16gb?
Can I upgrade it to a i9 instead?
Can this be done on A1708
If I ever needed to change my ram… how do I contact you.. my max is mid 2015 MacBook Pro
Dude that’s amazing I want to learn how to do thing like this or even smaller.
Yup, ill definitely gonna change mine. Let me get all the equipment first. Wait what?
Se tiene que poner otro numero de serie?
Who cares about upgrading an old machine, I'm only here because it's gonna be extremely hard and requires a skilful hand, good job bro.
Sir pls give full bga machine profile setting 3rd gen to 11gen intel cpu
this video sent me HowToBasic vibes (talking about the music)
Can you upgrade M2 on M1 MacBook?
Friend, it is needed just CLEAN the "ME Region", right??? Not put any other code in this area?!
Thank god I’ve got a spare BGA machine lying around
Amazing skills 👌👌👌👌 I have seen not a lot of people do this stuff and even if something small goes wrong, the mistake is expensive. Damn
