I'm happy every time an Apple device is repaired, of course because their repairing polytics. And if you are the technician who does it, makes them to be ashamed because, with your knowledge, you are demonstrating them and everyone that is not necessary to change full boards to repair any of their devices. As always, congratulations.
@@paolomonai9511 there are a lot of spare parts available for repairing, but from IPhone X to now most of them are paired with the motherboard, so you can't use them without losing funcionality. I was referring to the shameful repairing way from Apple, who only offers to their users complete part replacements (or deny repairing, just what happended to LTT) instead of repairing them, and at indecent prices.
There’s a reason for that. You don’t think they know it isn’t necessary? Lmao. They would prefer to sell you a new device and then fix it themselves and sell in another mac as refurbished.

Big boss, Thank you so much for keeping Alex a fresh supply of boards to work on. Your knowledge of how every device on the planet comes apart is amazing, not to mention the fact you have to keep half a billion tiny screws organized and remember which customers device they go with! You ROCK sir!!!
You guys are elite! Thank you for your tireless effort to help repair our Macs! I recently too had my Imac 2014 motherboard gone kaput and got it fixed in a few days! Help from repair warriors like you guys!!
Great repair, show Big Boss some love and let us see more of his work. Removing & replacing boards is not as easy as it looks. Enjoy your videos keep up the good work :)
Very nice work big boss. Its nice to watch him while he works. Alex "little helpers" are very good persons. Thank you for that. Thank you for the video. Good work alex.
Alex, the Shop's New extension area is looking very clean and neat. It must be a relief to have a little more room too move around in. Always great videos. I invariably learn something in every one of your Videos even after spending a lifetime in the Electronics Game. Thank You for sharing. It is more appreciated than you may realize.
I really like your videos, especially the ones on how to deal with certain situations. Repairmen give the best advice, both for your wallet and your life. You should make a playlist with all of those.
I watch and i learn with your vidéos. Really you and electronic repair are the big boss to repairing laptop. And you help us to check our laptops . well done to you. Sorry for my bad english. i'm french.
So you remove the faulty Mosfet and replace it with a donor Mosfet. Is there no way that you can test the donor one to see if there is an equivalent new Mosfet available? The only reason i ask is it might come to a point where you have say 3 customer boards all needing the same mosfet to be replaced and only two donor boards, so one has to be unfixable. Love the channel..
Do you know what would be nice? If the thermal camera has a red pointer. This way you would not need a 3rd hand to point out the problematic component. Great video as always!
@@NorthridgeFix but is it pointing at the spot you looking at? it either needs to be on the same axis as the camera or actively tiliting itself depending on distance
How do you make sure other components on the front of the board don't get desoldered while you were applying heat from the bottom? I was worried solder will liquify in one of the components on the front of the board and then fall off due to gravity.
These kinds of multilayer PCBs do not conduct heat easily. They tend to soak it up. I tried once with a UE speaker to remove a set of through-hole pins by just applying heat to one side. I ended up giving up. The PCB and lead-free solder make it very difficult.
Very nice videos, thanks for sharing. Also sharing your experiences is great, like aluminum cap blow up. One question; Why you don't use wrist strap to ground static electricity? Greetings from Turkey.
Hi there. Have you encountered an issue wherein the usb c thunderbolt ports are not working (tested different cables and devices) but the usb ports, sd card reader, headphone jack all work?
How do you get motherboard components? I would love to buy some. Don't know much but I'm assuming they all use filters, transistors, and so on right? Where can I buy a bunch of them? 20-100
Hello sir , that was awesome video also great example of team work and family should work together and always be true to each other and you see how you work will be easier and a easier great to see him use the thermal cam by himself awesome sir keep the great 👍 videos coming ?
This is really good that people donate thier dead device's,but in here which i live they dont do it they prefer to throw it away,not a good behavior but we cant change people...by the way nice job and team work with big boss👌
Perfect video to show my sibling that I need her to be big boss. I been taking consoles and joysticks apart and back together since the dawning of Atari 2600.. And as technology grew as time passed as devices broke down friends or my own that I would fix. Atari 2600 /400 /800. Turn tables, tape decks, cd players, up to present time building a DK05 L~L 2 computer desk build.1 Asus board, 2 Gigabyte Extreme WF board.. 🌝An older Asus board P7Z77-V Deluxe mb with a onboard error code 55. Pertains to memory area. So I examined the board and on the upper right side I found a blown Mosfet and a broken off aluminum caps that pop like popcorn. Replaced both parts and a year ago I could not get the solder to come close to melting. Then I found you and Flux and copper weave made removal and installation great. But to no prevail. Still same error 55. Soon to try resinpowder to look for short. But a bit busy with the desk. I replaced the board for $179. Exact same and memory sticks from bad board work great in new board as well as processor. So now old board a test/practice board. Or at least donor parts for future. If I strike out and not embarrassingly deform the board I will send to u. Pay of course either way. Just to see video and 99.9% chance of better than factory job. Any hoot it's 6th gen Intel and won't be able to run Windows 11. Not only missing TPM chip, the processor does not conform. But video would be cool 😎. It would come with mounted processor and two sticks memory. Lay it on bench and power up...👍🏻🤷🏻♂️🌝

The futher shame for Apple is the lack of parts for unauthorized repair shop and so one must rely on donor board, as Alex does...regards from Italy.

@@RolandKoller90 of course they know everything, but that's not an excuse, is a scoundrel reason.
@@RolandKoller90 Apple knows, but their customers don't.
We need people like big boss for assembly

And the Thermalcamera once again made a great job finding the issue. The Cam should get a reward for the Empmoyee of the Month
Appreciate your gesture of hiding the customer's name👍
@@rch5991 No, I don't even live in the US,😂
Alex & Big-Boss what a team. Fantastic repair, well done!
That thermal camera has probably paid for itself ten time over. Great tool.
Would love to see Big Boss doing some videos on how he does his work of disassembly, keeping all the parts organized, then reassembling!
Is big boss your dad? Well done by the way on his hard work. People who work in the background never get enough praise.
Big Boss "El Jefe" is awesome, what a team, I can see he treat every equipment with delicates hand, good job.
Great job as always. Would be great to see big boss videos doing the disassembly work and rebuilding aswell
What a team, what a find and fix. Amazing that you all build a business like you have now. good team keep it up

I therefore conclude that Voltage Injector Tool + Thermal Camera is a MUST HAVE tools for electronic repair
Very nice work big boss. Its nice to watch him while he works. Alex "little helpers" are very good persons. Thank you for that. Thank you for the video. Good work alex.
everybody need a big boss ! Great job as always, greetings from italy !

Some videos hit the spot just right (Just like food). This was one of them for me. Great video!
Worth the wait to see more of Big Boss! Hello from the UK!!
It is good to see your team working together
i was amazed - you can desolder by heating the opposite side of the board! Nice job.
Awesome video! Do more videos where you show family members/ workers, doing same job with you ❤️
So you remove the faulty Mosfet and replace it with a donor Mosfet.

Great fix. Big boss is the man!

It does have a laser pointer. I should use it.
@@NorthridgeFix but is it pointing at the spot you looking at? it either needs to be on the same axis as the camera or actively tiliting itself depending on distance

Nice to see Big Boss in action... thank you ;)
Perfect team work! Get camera for Big Boss.
Great job Alex... it looks soooooo easy with thermal cam... but there is much more than only having thermal cam...
Alex & the big boss are just like Penn & Teller. The big boss plays Teller, the introvert who never speaks 😜
Team work makes the bling work!
Those thermal cams are brilliant for finding faults.
Makes me want to buy some gear and practice practice practice.
Awesome repair with amazing team work! 👍
as always,proffesional....even you had the glasses on to avoid blown caps.keep on your great job dude
Great video as always Alex, just wondering what tape you use to reseal the screen? I have tried so many tapes but none are really suitable. Thank you
The James Worthy of repair techs! Nice work.
Big boss being shy and nice as always
great work as always. you are a great team 💪💪💪💪
Keep calm and support BigBoss 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I love the tandem, big boss and u.
Very nice videos, thanks for sharing. Also sharing your experiences is great, like aluminum cap blow up. One question; Why you don't use wrist strap to ground static electricity? Greetings from Turkey.

Big Boss and the team remain blessed
The legendary big boss #respect
Assalamu alaikum
Love your work ❤️❤️❤️
Love from india
More iMacs please.
This is so relaxing to watch 😇
If not even the first LED turns on, what would you check? (Power cable connected to a wall outlet with confirmed power)
You can apply max temperature but really low air and the caps will be fine.
Oh you have a team..great...
Hi !!! Sir
I need to know, can i put 2013 imac motherboard to 2012 imac (21.5) A1418
Well done!
I love this combination of Big Boss and Alex ...fixing device take few minutes...
All apples, mac. Nicely done.
how much did you pay for a this donor board? Do you keep several of these, or are they very rare?
BIG BOSS! you're the man, thumbs up.
You are the best!! As always.
Alex you’re the Man
Hoping someone can answer my question. When is the low melt solder used? I appreciate the input and thanks in advance.
It's used for de-soldering only.
@@NorthridgeFix thank you so so much sir,,,you have really gotn me interested in many repairs because of you and learned so much already.
what do u use to glue the screen back in place ?
