I hope my reaction showed how much this meant to me. I was already ecstatic just to be in a video, but when you told me that it was my computer, I think my reaction speaks for itself. Thanks for being a great friend, and thank you so much for a new computer!
@@jhonjhon1740 We only see patchers up to Catalina on dosdude1's personal website, and Catalina is the latest and last version of macOS X. There is no Big Sur patcher, meaning it will be likely there will be no Monterey patcher that will be released by dosdude1. We could be wrong, for all we know.
These Late 2013 15" Retina MacBook's really hold up to time. These things breeze through web browsing and day to day tasks. I was able to pick one of these up locally for $200 and there's no way any $200 windows laptop even compares to these. Sad to see it wont be supported in Mac OS Monterey though.
Older MBPs are repairable. Later ones are deliberately designed and built for the landfill. This is the end of a series of ecologically conscious MBPs Apple built. They’re classics and repairing the trashed late 2013 one was well worth Luke’s time.
@@NormanF62 I don’t see why he couldn’t do the same thing with the newest m1 mac for example? Everything is basically the same apart from removable ssd and he would need to transfer touch id button?
I love the fact that you gave this MacBook to a friend in need who will obviously appreciate it. However, I’d sure like to see a cost breakdown on the parts you ordered from FleaBay versus the going price of a nice condition comparable model to see if it is actually a wise choice to rebuild or to just salvage the parts.
It's amazing that I watch all these repair videos. Got a cup of coffee and watched like Luke has never done this before. Good video! Again it was fun IMHO.
Oh this laptop is TOTALLY destroyed .... Hummm That'll buff out .... New top and bottom case, screen. Clean er up ..... Totally good as new .... And a GIVEAWAY .... Everything we always wanted in a video :o)
What a genuine and appreciative man, Joe is. You can tell he is so delighted with his new laptop. Thank you from me because you are a amn with a big heart and that is rare today.
Great job! The evolution of MBP's within the last few years is simply amazing, and with that; Apple's clear intention of making their laptops unrepairable seems beyond evil and greedy.
Thanks for your opinion, but if you look after them, Apple's machines seem to last a bit longer than a comparable PC. I have a 13" Macbook Pro from 2009 that still works and am typing this on a 2014 iMac which is running like it was new. If they were so "evil and greedy", wouldn't Apple make their computers less reliable and long-lasting?
Ummm, Luke, c'mon, how stupid do you actually think we are? "Can we fix it"? Well, if by "it". you mean, "can we transplant a known-working logic board and a couple of fans into an entirely different MacBook, then sure, of course the answer is "yes". But do not be fooled, this MacBook has not in any sense of the word been "fixed", all that happened was that its logic board was salvaged. But it makes good copy for iFixit, and generates views, so, you know ...
hey Luke I have this 2011 13inch macbook pro it really need some work i wont mind some advice from you cause i been watching your videos how u repair your macbooks this one have an intel i7 core 2.7 ghz with 8gb of ram and 500 HDD my screen is cloudy the keyboards are so stiff can hardly type the trackpad is totally soft and now i see it says battery need to replace now what items you think i should get to help renovate this macbook? Thanks in advance!
Do you have a place to find these MacBook Pro Retina displays other than eBay? The pricing for the display is almost worth as much as my MacBook Pro. I have this same laptop and my display is partially broken with lines running through it. Was wondering if you had any idea or connections to find retina LCD displays that would work? Great Video Luke! Keep it up brother, I follow all your content and I appreciate your videos.
I felt some cost-effectiveness talk was missing in the video. The nice surprise to his buddy was great, but we want to know if the repair makes economical sense!
Hey, with all the Mac computers that you restore. Is there anyway we can get one from you. With the way the New Windows 11 is looking I don't think I will be able to upgrade to it. What I was thinking is to get a Mac cheap and try it out, before I buy a new one.
A. Mr. Luke you deserve a major shout out being a major blessing to another person. B. iFixIt deserves a major shout out for helping Mr. Luke bless another person. C. Mr. Luke you're wise beyond your years. D. Mr. Luke you've wise wisdom and uncommon common sense. E. Mr. Luke Thankyou!!! For sharing your wise wisdom and uncommon common sense. F.

Mr. Luke please stay safe. K. Mr. Luke God Bless You!!!
I don't know what I liked more. Your good samaritan efforts or the repairing of the MacBook Pro? Good work sir and I hope more blessings rain down on you. Especially with these acts of kindness. (:
I am still waiting for the video where Luke shows us the dead MacBook and then states the question: "So, can we repair this Macbook?" and than says: "No". And it all just in 1 first minute and the other 10 to 15 minutes are just black screen with some background music lofi or chill or something. That would be the best prank, idea for April 1 btw.
I have noticed that the Magsafe port has a bit of some thermal layer to prevent overheating.I realised this after I cleaned it considering it "goop" and the port and charger got destroyed due to excessive heating
Hey Luke, I was wondering if you have a detailed "step by step" video and/or description on just how you update the hard drives to SSD's including how to upgrade the OS? Thanks.
He didn't show the tiny little latches you flip up to release the keyboard and fan connectors. Very important, I wish I had known about that when I was working on my MacBook.
Wait is that the laptop Richard Hendricks broke when he realized that middle out won't work for Decentralized Internet??? How did the computer from the Show got to the real world here?
A high end Apple MBP today with comparable specs retails new for $3000. I’m jealous his friend got his free. I bought mine off eBay for the miserly sum of $425.
Hi Luke, my mbair 2013 13’ is shutting down saying -> kernel error I tried every thing… do you think renewing the thermal paste could help??? Also the battery is not good anymore… please help!!
I hope my reaction showed how much this meant to me. I was already ecstatic just to be in a video, but when you told me that it was my computer, I think my reaction speaks for itself. Thanks for being a great friend, and thank you so much for a new computer!
No way it’s actually joe!
I hope you enjoy it Joe!
@@lukemiani no way it’s actually Luke!
@@joeplavin - No way it’s actually Marc!
@@SCU3A_S7EVE I know right! It’s crazy that marc is actually here!
Whoever broke this got mad it won’t be supported by macOS Monterey.
Lol
probably will be with a patcher idk
dosdude1: acktually
@Gaming York ?

This video made me feel happy, because he was so happy.

Ahh man. This was so nice! You’re a class act Luke.
I always enjoy these videos, it always astonishing to me that you can repair these MacBooks

I’m always dissapointed when the thermal paste isnt replaced. Otherwise, nice job!
Same. I mean, he had it RIGHT THERE in front of him! How could you NOT replace it??? LOL
I would guess he did it off camera. Although it would be a bummer if he didn’t.
@@AlexsAnimals I am not speaking for Mac persay but the thermal paste is something that they could work on, ity has come a long way from tooth paste
Wow, takes a literal beating and still boots up! That's amazing to see.
OMG, his reaction is SO wholesome. Great job, Luke.
I love the fact that you gave this MacBook to a friend in need who will obviously appreciate it.

Yep that would be of interest!🤪
Such a positive and uplifting video. Joe looked absolutely over the moon to receive that gift. Just brilliant 👍👍👍
This is not fixing the MacBook. This is replacing literally everything
That's really kind for what you did for Joe.. We could all do with friends like you ! One Big Thumbs Up !
It's amazing that I watch all these repair videos. Got a cup of coffee and watched like Luke has never done this before. Good video! Again it was fun IMHO.
this video is so satisfying to watch! thanks Luke
The iFixit kit for this comes with a whole new MacBook Pro and a trash can for the old one.
This is how my laptop looks after I play cs go.
also geometry dash
Very cool you are helping out a friend.
Luke is becoming MrBeast now, giving away stuff to people in need 😂
God guy it’s amazing to support your friends 💪🏻💯keep going this way
That was cool!!! Subscribed just today!!! Love the repair/salvage videos
Thanks for the sub!
I still have this MacBook as well as my M1 and I love it
Oh this laptop is TOTALLY destroyed .... Hummm That'll buff out .... New top and bottom case, screen. Clean er up ..... Totally good as new .... And a GIVEAWAY .... Everything we always wanted in a video :o)
What a genuine and appreciative man, Joe is. You can tell he is so delighted with his new laptop.
Thank you from me because you are a amn with a big heart and that is rare today.
Luke helped his buddy. Dope!
Now you guys know, every time he fixes a MacBook he gives it to a friend name Joe
Joe who? Joe mama! (Lol, sorry. Could not resist)
@@elfedorausado It’s ok, it’s so unfunny it’s funny.
Such a nice touch with the giveaway man, congrats Joe!

I wish that you would show a none speed up version of the install of the display.
Joe's reaction was the unexpected best part.
I love your videos but l like to see more Mac repair videos in your channel
Slowly making my way through all your videos
Should always repaste an old cpu. That thermal paste is probably dry and inefficient.
Good work! Keep it going!
The new condition of that MacBook is so good to watch!
I just wonder if you forgot to re-apply the thermal paste? 🤔
restored= almost completely replaced. Everything new apart from the logic board and fans. But its nice it was brought back
The logic board is the most expensive part.
Good Luck Luke!
Nice repair 👍
Isn't this more of a refurbishment? I love your videos!
You and Hugh Jeffreys are miracle workers
hes reaction was priceless.
Where did you get the new screen? I need one too but THE PRICE is INSANE. 700$+. No trade-in anymore. No way.
How did you get?
I love ❤️ the way you edit ✍️ your video I love 💗 watching your video I’m your biggest fan you make amazing 🤩 video you make awesome 🤩 😎 👏🏽 video
Love your vids keep up the good work
If rage quitting was around before rage quitting, this computer would take the cake.
But where come the new display from? Or was that from ifixit as part of the video sponsor?
Ummm, Luke, c'mon, how stupid do you actually think we are? "Can we fix it"?

it really need some work i wont mind some advice from you cause i been watching your videos how u repair your macbooks
this one have an intel i7 core 2.7 ghz with 8gb of ram and 500 HDD
my screen is cloudy
the keyboards are so stiff can hardly type
the trackpad is totally soft and now i see it says battery need to replace now
what items you think i should get to help renovate this macbook?
Thanks in advance!
If you played the last bit without the video it could easily have been mistaken for a marriage proposal 🤣
Something about macs that never age

Great Video Luke! Keep it up brother, I follow all your content and I appreciate your videos.
Thats why we need right to repair ASAP!
Nice but is it a repair? I guess you actually “repaired” the other system by putting a motherboard and fans in it!
I felt some cost-effectiveness talk was missing in the video. The nice surprise to his buddy was great, but we want to know if the repair makes economical sense!
Apple tech channels with no apple tech news 🥶
Joe’s awesome!
Lol i saw this MacBook on the TikTok video and i had a feeling he was making a TH-cam video of it :)
I thought it was going to be a "Who is Joe?" joke at first
is your friend joe mama?
This was sooo cool I love it. awesome work my friend.
I want a video on m1 macbook parts replacemnt
Why did you not replace the thermal paste on this machine, it could be very helpful.
My theory…the previous owner saw the screen delamination and had a rage fit, smashing the laptop and taking a hammer to the track pad!
Theseus' Paradox. Are you really fix that computer?

YAY JOE!!!
I have noticed that the Magsafe port has a bit of some thermal layer to prevent overheating.I realised this after I cleaned it considering it "goop" and the port and charger got destroyed due to excessive heating
Hey Luke, I was wondering if you have a detailed "step by step" video and/or description on just how you update the hard drives to SSD's including how to upgrade the OS? Thanks.
That was so sweet! 😊
Where do you buy does broken macbook?? I wonder where cuz i want to buy and try to rebuild it as my first macbook.
*Reads title:* Bob the builder would approve!
He didn't show the tiny little latches you flip up to release the keyboard and fan connectors. Very important, I wish I had known about that when I was working on my MacBook.
And that’s is why you are the best!! Congrats, Joe!!
Always good to give a guy named Joe a free laptop ;) Loved the repair and the ending was great!
I think you can find videos somewhere on TH-cam that shoes people destroying this laptop 💻 with a hammer 🔨.
Wait is that the laptop Richard Hendricks broke when he realized that middle out won't work for Decentralized Internet??? How did the computer from the Show got to the real world here?
Extra bonus points for being a nice enough guy to give it away
Once again, my favorite kind of your videos is these repair vids. Here for it all, but LOVE these.
why did he get so happy about about being gifted a 2013 MacBook...
its better then nothing.
A high end Apple MBP today with comparable specs retails new for $3000. I’m jealous his friend got his free. I bought mine off eBay for the miserly sum of $425.
because it’s still a mac and macs last forever
@mister kluge whoah what? i wouldn’t expect something like that from a mac that old😯
what was that external monitor and where can i find one 😅
Kills me to see that state
Love u dude u make great 👍 videos
7:05 i never thought about that
joe... joe mama 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought he was to say Joe Mamma
buying a MacBook that has been on TH-cam...in one of plainrock's bored smashing videos...
I have one of that MacBook
They used it batting practice, I think I've already seen this.
FYI...Someone made a fake profile with your photo and replied to mine other comments on this video. Report Spam Please!
Its actually quite impressive how much of a beating these things can take and still work.
Hi, love your videos and wanted to know where the l shaped desk you have is from.
Wanted to know that too
lmao, again, just like with the other destroyed macs you fixed, i wonder how this laptop got completely wrecked
Hi Luke, my mbair 2013 13’ is shutting down saying -> kernel error
I tried every thing… do you think renewing the thermal paste could help??? Also the battery is not good anymore… please help!!
First one
