Watching this 5y atf ... your soldering skills have obviously greatly improved. And your descriptions of the problem and fix are quite a bit more basic with a bit more theory, etc. I found it actually more fascinating, and more helpful (even though I don't have any plans to ever work on boards...lol) for the noob that I am. This is what comes from beer virus lockup and an idle mind. :-O Nice
Just ran across you on the kdenlive forum after seeing a couple of your camera videos. Cool! Btw I've got kdenlive, gimp, inkscape, and audacity working on my phone if you are interested in a rundown, they're pretty easy to configure for a smaller screen.
Use enameled magnet wire for trace repairs. it makes life allot easier for fine pitch trace repairs, im suprised for someone that was in the studio/audio industry you havent decided to try this already! :)
Just came over from one of the recent live streams to see this for myself after you talked about it. All I can say is... Why?... what?... How? Lol. I'm surprised this battery/laptop didn't literally explode when the person plugged it into the wall. O.o
Hi Louis, these are the videos that I really love! you clearly show and explain all 3 steps, schematics, troubleshooting, chip repair. Great stuff. I have macbook air 2012 with same issue.. works lovely but doesn't charge the battery..(it even runs from battery but no charging it) after your video I immediately start measuring the current sensor circuit however in my case everything looks ok.. do you thing it's a bad ISL? any other ideas? Thank you
Another great informative video. I feel like Im learning something when you say something and I can point it out on the diagram before you show it. Also question Louis Rossmann would it have been beneficial to solder the jumper wires while the ISL chip was off? Or would the jumpers move when reapplying the ISL chip.
Hey Louis, amazing videos, I am not in the repairing industry but sometimes I repair some basic things in my house, I have very basic questions: Which element you use for soldering, I only know tin, but this is like a transparent liquid.
He uses leaded solder, which is a tin/lead alloy. The clear stuff he is using copious amounts of is called flux - there's a wiki page that'll explain what that is to you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_%28metallurgy%29
Hi Louis, first of all, thanks for your absolutely amazing videos ! They are so inspirational and I gladly remove my AdBlock Plus to watch the ads on your latest videos. I have a little question for you : I have a A1278 logic board with the same problem as here, battery not charging but computer is OK. So I made some measurements at some points and I'm getting 12,2V on pins 1, 2, 3 (PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_R) of Q7055 and 11,4V on pin 4 (CHGR_BGATE). As it's written 12,6V on the schematics, am I good with 12,2V ? And on pin 5 I'm getting virtually nothing (dropping from around 5V to 0V) so that's why my battery isn't charging. Do I have a bad Gate voltage on my resistor or is it safe to say that my Q7055 has to be replaced ? Thanks for these 2 answers !
Hello again, i have a macbook air A1465, that caught water everthing work great, but the wireless stop working when i open it, there was a shine black component that as glue on it that as burned out. This component is on the oder side of the board under the LDPR 372C, where i can find the part number. Thanks
Hey Louis! I have an iMac 27" a1312, had the video card replaced by the apple recall but it still wont "give me a dong" it has power on all the rails and even the cpu core rails but i noticed my sense resistor (GPU MXM) SMC_GPU_VSENSE is pushing out ~12v and my SMC_GPU_ISENSE is not. A SC70 (U5360) resistor is between those. Would that be something i should definitely replace? Ill be ordering a donor board today in any case. Thanks
GREAT VIDEOS, I HAVE LEARNED QUITE A BIT FROM YOU, THANKS I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A U4510 CHIP DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST BOARD LEVEL REPAIR, I HAVE LOCATED THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CHIP IS MISSING, AND THE BOARD KIND OF WORKS, BUT NOT CORRECTLY AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR THE MISSING CHIP
have a macbook air 2014 that caught water, it works correctly, the problem is that only charges the battery when it powered off. Any idea to solve the problem. Thanks
thanks loius for the help and fast answer, but after change some resistor, now the problem is strange, when i connect the fan, after a while it stop charging, if i disconnect the fan the macbook work and charge normally.
Louis Rossmann Hello again, i found out, that if i use a 60W charge it charge normally, but if i use de 45W, after a while it stop charging, any idea? it work fine with a strong power supply.
hey all, The best ideas that I have seen was on Volt daddy (just google it) Probably the most informative info on batteries and this kinda that I have found.

i just repaired my laptop while watching your video, good job, cheers:)

+1 on the Satch towards the end.
I think this battery - wall outlet scenario is for a 12V DC in power supply such as a Solar Source, without an inverter.

Louis maybe the owner for that Mac is confuse put the 110v connector maybe is for his car for winter time, he need to heat it up, lol

If I take the ISL6259 out of a A1370, will it work in an A1425?
Also, where did you suggest getting trash boards from again?
Tony Tone It should work. Ask david at advancedreworks.

How much cost a job like that? approximatively...

How high is the resolution on your wall monitor?
3840x2160

highside current sensing on charger line around isl6259

Something's fucked up there.

use the right adapter, and apple one, no cheap ebay shit.
Its a wonder he didn't start a fire!
+compactc9 It's a wonder he's not dead, if he plugged that into the wall..

You didn’t wic the garbage
Why am I watching this video there’s nothing to watch here
We can’t see shit your cameras like defocused on the corner of part of the computer
