Can confirm. I've learned a lot from the A1465 11" air I got for $20. PP3V42 shorted with corrosion under the SMC. Another great way to get more time under the microscope for cheap is buying xbox 360's and RGH modding them. I was getting them anywhere from $10-25 depending on condition and whats included. Doing this I got more familiar with schematics. Now with Macbooks theres boardviews which also helps a ton.
I leant a 2015 Macbook Pro 15" to a friend. They never really used it but it was plugged (old batter) and closed "SLEEP" When I went to collect it it will not start up. The charger will show charging. The white indicate light is on but no chime and black screen. Any thoughts what to check first?
Which white indicator light are you referring to? What's the model number ( A1286, or A1398 ? ). The A1286, Unibody type machines had the white LED at the front but that's more 2012 era. Is it Magsafe-1 (L-shaped connector) or Magsafe-2 (T/block shaped) ?

It's a collection of programs. Basically it's a macOS HighSierra install on a USB stick and Valley (Unigine) as the gfx tester, and the keyboard tester is - github.com/inflex/keyboard-tester
It's more of a perception thing that what I've found in reality. There's no shortage of Macbooks being repaired that have been enduring horrendous levels of liquid damage. It's really a case of *where* the liquid damage is more than anything else. It helps too that Macbooks are high-value items so people are more likely to have them repaired, subsequently you see a seemingly disproportionate level of them in the workshop. Of course, Apple doesn't bother with liquid-ingress prevention systems like perhaps some of the higher end business machines in the PC realm but in many ways I would prefer it if manufacturers focused on easier part replacements than more expensive builds (explicitly for the sake of keeping liquid out). Overall, it's a bit of a survivorship-bias type psychological manipulation going on; the electronics themselves are equally likely to fail but it comes down to specifically where the damage lands. imo ;)
I m here because you helped Joey with his PS5 double gates mosfet
Paul Daniels, a true standard bearer in board repair. I'm glad to see you keepimg it up!
Still keeping an eye on you, watching you pick up rubbish and take care of Koi.
Love how you looped the wire to make a pad. Smoothly done.

Doing my best to try get at least a video out each week (edited)
Hi sir paul i love your repair videos pls keep making videos like this
I will attempt to do so.
On the road, Hi/bye. Package due for delivery today Paul. 😊
@JimAllen-Persona
It HAS been a year of Heat Warnings 😄
Excellent work Paul 💯
Many thanks.
Good work Paul ❤.
love these edited, shorter videos
Funny, I got 2 in the shop today for repair, both with moisture corrosion.
Bad stuff or just "workable" ?
Nice
Good routine!
Very nice. Satisfying fix.
"the best to start le...." starts video with a deep sigh. Haha so true
yeh the most repairable MacBook ever
Really is. Wish Apple would get back to this balance.
The only time you'd catch me doing microelectronics is when I'm blind drunk lol, somehow my eyesight and calmness goes 10 fold!
at 4:08 Louis Rossmann starts repairing the board!
....and quickly booted off stage - we don't tolerate that sort of splurging around here.
SPLOOOOGE! Perfect!
Sorry, I was putting out fires. The "Device" is still sitting at the post office 😢
And on the 8th day, he repaired a macbook
I'm a magician, not a god ;)

why MacBook's are so sensitive to a water damage? even a tiny one breaks them. Most PC can handle much bigger water damage

@@pldaniels yea, a think layer of varnish on the board would do the job, but why ? It will save apple 10 cents
