Louis, you saved me and my MacBook Pro. I watched the video and was able to find the area of my logic board where the vpor sensor lives and was able to dissolve the mild corrosion I had with DEoxiIT and it's clean and working perfectly. Thanks so much. I love your videos.
Just repaired mine early 2011 mb pro with this fault...just bad/dry pads under the chip. Resolder and good to go! Also upraged to SSD (finally). Feels like new machine.
Hi, could u give me link for one of ur videos where i can see how to diagnose problem. How to know what i need to fix. Like i know that it is problem with logic board but how to know which part of it, what i need to replace (fix). Thanks in advance. Cheears 🍻
Hey Louis! I have a suggestion for a video if you would like to try it. You know how those pesky corroded pads that don't really want to wet and take the solder. I have come upon an acid flux that works wonders on them and in most cases you don't even have to scratch away at them, which sometimes causes the pad to lift and come off. Try Kester 2331-ZX Flux. Put a little on the pads and just run solder over it a couple times and there you have it! A clean, beautiful, soldered pad. :)
Sir may i ask? i got MacBook Pro A1425, boot normal but really slow when it's already open the dekstop, cursor delay and very² slow respon for opening apps / file. is that the same problem with the sensor?
What are the resistors replaced with the IC, r5302 and r5301? (100k ) I lend to someone my old macpro 2011 and got liquid damage in that area and run very slow without adapter plugged in. When I finished cleanning it, one of the resistors wasnt there.. I need to check if it works before ordering the IC. Thanks in advance
Hey Louis, Your an unparalleled logic board genius. I am facing same issue with my MBP Late 2011 and visited your store today afternoon to get it repaired from you .But looks like you charge 325$ to even touch the logic board which made me rethink and decided not to repair it :-(
+Louis Rossmann. There was a water spill a year ago and i got it cleaned the same day of spill. "kernel_task" is using 87-93% CPU when AC adapter is unplugged. Apple Hardware diagnostics says 4SNS/1/40000001:VP0R-0.000.
of the many wire bodges you've preformed have you ever encountered or wondered if the makeshift trace/wire affects the signaling enough for the fix to not work or cause an issue
well i couldn't imagine an average computer caring especially since it's really just electricity but in precision hardware such as medical equipment as you have said in previous videos i wouldn't put someones life in the hands of a wire i'm just a computer hobbyist i fix em, upgrade em, and keep em running i enjoy the content though
LAN Master I would never do this shit to medical equipment: EVER. Worst case scenario if something goes wrong some spoiled kid can't sext on facebook messaging. oh well. I don't want to be responsible for someone's death via logic board repair.
i completely agree in that case i don't think repairing medical equipment is even the best idea i'd just a soon replace something that's monitoring vitals than fix it
+LAN Master (sirswears) Oh I agree, that is not the case though on a lot of medical equipment... respirators for example. Also if you've seen the testing that goes on for medical equipment in bayer pharmaceuticals youd be quite shocked. For one, all of the tests are being conducted on windows based machines. It is also a bad idea to have medical equipment connected on a network, but hey, its so rare that people hack into them, why bother to make them work offline?
Would drilling with a tiny pillar drill through the broken via to run a wire through it be a viable strategy? After all the via didn't lead anywhere else and it has a diameter of clearance away from any other copper track on all layers.
I have a macbook pro mid 2012, that boots extremely slow (sometimes doesnt boot), I took out the hard drive and ran the osx install to check if it boots normally and it also takes a lot of time (sometimes dont even boot the bar stays at 99%)...but if I do a safe boot into the os it runs normally but with slow animations, can someone pinpoint what could cause this issue, thanks
@@chrissteele591 hello, i never got to fix it, but it seemed to be a motherboard issue my friend, swapping disk did not resolve the issue or even changin the flex
What is the history of this board? How can this connection get destroyed? Are you using something to fix the bodge wire to the board? Like Hot Glue? Or other glue?
+port29dr I notice that it is near the edge of the board, like many of these corroded shit situations. I am guessing but by the condition of those pads, it looks like another case of liquid damage. Maybe there's a vent in the area. The Mac users don't seem very mindful of their triple-super-fluffy quadro-choco-minty-creamo concoctions. Or it could be the East River. ↑
+port29dr He uses some Green shit to affix the bodge wire afterwards. It comes in a pen, and he calls it something like "Conformal coating" - Like this one (not sure if this is the one) ... www.all-spec.com/products/CW3300G.html He says, the various colors are not just colors but also consistency, and that green is better, you can see him use in multiple other videos.
+Dorf Schmidt Why are you using this solder mask stuff for holding bonds in place? This stuff is usable to isolate traces on the board but not to hold wires in place. Because you have to use a lot of this mask and have a long "dry"-time. And you need a proper surface. That's why we are using hot glue or in some cases mounting adhesive from the hardware store.
I've not been subscribed to your channel for long, but it strikes me that every time we see a board that one of your customers brought in, it looks like they've been using their electronics while going for a swim in the east river, or they just fished the board out of a dumpster somewhere... How do they generally manage to accomplish this level of disgusting?
gorilla app to electronic repairs I like the idea that you stick it to apple for there shit design but as we say in NZ it's an ugly win... but a win is a win and if a jumper is needed so be it

Thank you Louis. This helped me out a ton.. I had the broken pad just like this one!
pro trick : you can watch series on kaldroStream. Been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Aydin Joshua Definitely, been watching on KaldroStream for months myself =)

+Kyle Pockrus It is possible to solder on top of corrosion which is why I do all the scratching, to keep the IPC certified trolls at bay

Thanks, no more kernel task at 400%!!!

in macbook air 13 2013 this issue also occurs, would it be similar issue?

+Abhi V look on the edge of the board by the fan. you'll see some corroded six legged shit.
+Louis Rossmann yes! I guess thats current sense amplifier which was damaged and i replaced it with new one.

+LAN Master (sirswears) Not yet. I'm as surprised as you are, trust me.

Did you ever solve this? I have the exact issue. Thanks

@@smasher2265 thanks for your reply. Mine is definitely a hardware issue. Corrosion was found on the Logic Board but it looks like it cleaned up well.
Thumbs up
