Wow! Great video once again! I feel that this needs to be shared because it's like you read my mind. Recently, in an attempt to expand my little scrapping hobby, I decided to look into a school as a client. The job mostly consists of the 180-200 iMacs. 150 of which are the silver back ones. Having never done any before. I said yes and they will be coming soon. Yikes! Thank you for showing me what I'm in for. The job also has other e waste so it will all work out! Keep up the great work! You're a true professional.
Thanks Ben I just did a apple all in one sir you made it look easy this has been a great video with awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
I'd love to see you get into gold recovery, even just a little batch for the fun of it. Maybe use one of those boards you were playing with at the end.
It's unfortunate that Apple engineers didn't consider the end of life challenges these systems present. Or maybe they just assumed they'd go in a shredder instead of being scrapped by a human.
After stripping all the screws and having to take my grinder with a cut off disc on it to open the back I now just reach for the grinder first and not worry about the screws.
on that second mac, you DO have to use the suction cup to remove it, but it swings downward, so attach the suction cup to the top middle of the glass and attempt to hinge it downward.
I made a comment a year or 2 ago about how this guy needed someone to help him, someone to maybe just process all the time but ya know bringing someone else in would actually be a hassle I'd say now. The bigger you grow the more you have to make just to stay with the same income you made by yourself
i wish i was from australia... as a new eletrical engineer i see great staff on your videos that i could really use... i dont understand how people dont ask you for caps and sensors and all of that
the wires wrapped around those pins on the vintage boards near the end -- are those silvered wires? saw old bits like that once from a physics lab clearing out old in-house-made lab equipment...
I get several of these every week or two. They can be time consuming to strip. I'm still trying to find somewhere that will buy all my boards in the UK. Had a price from one yard who said 20p a KG. Not a chance ha.
Once I have disassembled a 27" iMac and put a normal HP 27" display on the inside. Had to cut out the 'ports' out for cabling, and removed one spring from the stand hinge (lower weight, just only the screen inside) and was a fun project. But macs are crap, they overheat and if something goes bad (desoldered GPU) and other dust related issues; like dustparticles between IPS panel and the backlight... yeah no more mac for me...
15:53 That was the correct way to remove the glass, the issue was you had held the glass in place with your body on one side while also holding the glass in place with your hand on the other side So when you pull the suction cup the only thing the glass could do was fold in half

The difference between Apple and other brands is that Apple is very anti-repair. For example I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 which I use for car diagnostic and there I can easily swap the hard drive by removing one screw while on MacBooks made after 2016, you cant even replace the ssd anymore. That's why I hacked my old 2012 MacBook Pro to run latest MacOS. There I can easily replace the SSD, swapped the DVD drive for another SSD and I can easily replace the ram or the WiFi card
id like to see a video or a mini series, of you selling to your buyer and doing scrap runs, like 3 days in a row, to see how much u could make in that time frame
That GARAGE of your's mate has always looked like that since I een watching your channel, I think it going to be like that for years to come, unless you Sir stop picking up more recyclable ewaste for a couple of month the you might get it tidy, Cheers.
Apple is always trying to build things to make it as difficult as possible to repair or disassemble. They rather sell you new products than that your faulty products will be repaired.
3:20s - offloading laptops and PCs to the buyer. Prices going down. Better off to scrap them out. Otherwise they are going to end up, directly or indirectly, in Hong Kong or Shanghai or polluting some Nigerian river. Scrap them out and then offload the extracted circuit boards and such. Worried about clutter and thus moving stuff quicker ? I would not be concerned with that. Your carbon footprint must be way below just about anyone else's.
hi bkn use a construction hairdryer that quickly put on all the io circuit boards chips and everything else the construction hairdryer will help you work out everything that is in the bins at home and it will be more expensive to hand over the microcircuit chips
That suction cup tip is great. That is a big improvement over my usual start with a hammer and cleaning up after that mess.

Those boards at the end where incredible
Have a blessed week man of God
Good to have you back mate. Looking forward to the garage emptying escapades 😜
I am really looking forward to your next cleaning garage video. That should be epic, indeed!
Can't wait for the garage clean out Ben..I loved the last one...
Thanks Ben I just did a apple all in one sir you made it look easy this has been a great video with awesome content thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Wow, the way that screen popped off with those two levers was a dream!!!
Very excited for the garage cleanout
It's been too long, I needed my Ben scrap fix. Tanks for the video.
I'd love to see you get into gold recovery, even just a little batch for the fun of it. Maybe use one of those boards you were playing with at the end.
Enjoyed the show.
As a hobbiest, I tear them completely down and save all the interesting bits for my personal 'museum' of differences.
Worried there for a while, buddy. Glad you're back.
love it
those old boards are a treasure
Great video

Are you sure Ben is a human?
Yes, I'm sure 🤣
I think you'll find they just didn't care what happens once they're of no use.
Wonder if they’d take all those screws back🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
After stripping all the screws and having to take my grinder with a cut off disc on it to open the back I now just reach for the grinder first and not worry about the screws.
I remember the older style Macs some had two huge copper heat sinks on 2 sides and worth pulling apart
Hi Ben thanks for your hard work to Recycle all the E waste and help the planet 🎉
So satisfying, uh?! I can't believe these folks. Namastè.
Thank goodness you are back !
Withdrawal symptoms big time 😂😂
Great video my friend

yeah, I scrapped one of those apart & it was a total pain in the ass.
I actually gave up & came back to it several times before finishing.
Yayy🎉 lets gooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s very good value on other country for scrapping
Nice ❤❤
the wires wrapped around those pins on the vintage boards near the end -- are those silvered wires? saw old bits like that once from a physics lab clearing out old in-house-made lab equipment...
👍👍👍
A flat putty knife works to if your careful about it. Those magnets are surprisingly strong lol

❤❤❤❤❤
Great timing Ben, I'm just getting ready to attack some of these that have been piling up.
Those last boards look like old CNC controller boards
Excellent Video, I am from Mexico, and I want to start dedicating myself to what you show in your videos. Do you have any recommendations, please?
👍

Put your torx bits across a bench grinder to remove the worn tip
46:29 That like an old computer card for something similar to (but not) an Altair 8080.
I always throw my all in one motherboard with laptop motherboards and never had an issue
how about recovering the solder, tin is going for $15 cad at the moment ?
Will you do a video of you depoplating those boards you should us in this video it will be quite interesting to watch.
Hiii Ben nice i like
How come you dont save the power board on the screen ?
It’s either that one screw that is hidden or the one right in front of my face 😅

those Mac's aluminum base is worth removing for scraps
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎
Nice haircut Ben. Are you losing weight? Remember, it all adds up. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

the mac that shatered put the suction cup in one of the top corners and that wont happen
i want buy pc component
These Macs are still usable here in Africa.
They’re usable anywhere lol I could use them and I’m not in Africa!
Do you check the contents of the hard drives?
That's Just it, Apple DOESN'T WANT YOU TO REPAIR their computers!
🙂👍🇧🇻
id like to see a video or a mini series, of you selling to your buyer and doing scrap runs, like 3 days in a row, to see how much u could make in that time frame
Unfortunatly, Lenovo has gone back to Apples ways, with being everything soldered in and intergrated on their newer systems and laptops.
I recently repurposed my 2012 Mac Mini as a Miinecraft Server.
Hi
Shame there isn't a good way of selling the Motorola's to hobbyists
That GARAGE of your's mate has always looked like that since I een watching your channel, I think it going to be like that for years to come, unless you Sir stop picking up more recyclable ewaste for a couple of month the you might get it tidy, Cheers.
Ebay
Ho

Why don't you take a sawzall cut the aluminum stand off and you not to tear everything apart and rescue go for scrap. That way you have clean aluminum
Apple is always trying to build things to make it as difficult as possible to repair or disassemble. They rather sell you new products than that your faulty products will be repaired.
One of the reasons computer techs f-in HATE working with apple products.
Invest in a cheap band saw with a metal blade...
I'm say yes I'm on haridneka trica kya hai
Apple don't want you to repair it yourself. They want you to buy new every 6 months.
who dislikes this?????????
Just remove the screen then call the whole thing irony ally? Seems fair. Black back ones.

all in one PCs are just e waste even when there new there not very good and even worse to fix or work on.

all in one pcs / macs' scrapping experience SUCKS i just skip them
