Will renew using your code !
@@CompuWhizzyou made crawling under a filthy park bench worth it 🫡
@@SalemTechsperts Oh man I hope you have all your shots up to date!
You don't want to apply heat to a battery. Use isopropyl alcohol instead. Lots of it.
Wiper blade replaced 💪
The Greatest Mechanic That's Ever Lived 😎
wtf😭
oh well i didnt expect the legend itself 😭
@SalemTechsperts hell ya. Long tutorial tho.
Hi chris!
worked in the care sector for 14 yrs as a care worker looking after elderly people with dementia, sorry about your mam buddy, tuff situation. x much respect too you for looking after your mam. x
You’re an amazing human being for doing that line of work. Truly angels.
I thought it was just a typo but come on dude, "mam?" are you fvcking kidding me? Respect to you tho if what you say is true and not trolling.
@@vishalvan3317 im from wales in the uk we say mam!
the greatest son that ever lived
Yessir
Can you stop this shit . It's cringe now
This is so cringe now. Please stop making anything the greatest xyz
If you clean your Mother's gooch off her iPad, you are definitely the greatest son.
True
dementia is an indiscriminate bully !! …
Andy, I’m happy you were able to integrate electronics in mom’s life … you’re the son that every parent should have …
Why so early... Killing me.
Also my mother had vascular dementia. It killed me to watch her deteriorate. Much sympathy.
Shit sucks man.
Diseases like that are the worst things ever.
Had to watch my grandfather go through Lewy Body Dementia.
I couldn’t imagine it being someone even closer.
Sympathy and respect to everyone that finds ways to get through it and make things better throughout.
"Hey, it's ChrisFix and today we're gonna change the wiper blades!" 😂
Love that guy
I died a little inside. LOL
"Hey guyyyys" 🤣 classic
I'm really sorry about your mom's situation. I can only imagine how hard it is to see such stuff happen without anyway to help. You deserve better, chief. Stay strong
Thanks man. It sucks
As an Apple Authorized Service Technician, we don't bother with batteries on iPads. We just replace the whole iPad. As you know when you take up that top layer of glass, getting it back on with zero dust/debris is near impossible. Thinking the only place other than third party that does actual batteries are Apple Stores themselves. I do not envy you lol.
Even Apple Stores don’t replace the battery. They just give them a different unit. They send the old one to be refurbished and get new battery and shell.
@@beavermuffin Ah, so I guess AASP and Apple official do same then. Not surprising.
I rarely hang onto an iPad long enough for the batteries to go bad. At $250 on sale, it’s a consumable. I open my laptop once a year to get all the gooch out. If the battery looks puffy, I’ll send it to Rossmann to replace. Only happened once and he replaced a bad battery free for me under warranty.
@@JustherefortheLOLZ Can I ask what iPad it was I’ve thinking about upgrading from a 6th gen
E-waste moment
CPB actually has multiple meanings. Chunky Peanut Butter, Can't Possibly Beatbox, Clean Public Bathrooms, Chinese Parts Bad, and many many more
Yeah let’s go with one of those…

Just found your channel, and I'm LOVING it!!! Work in IT as school support in Australia, and I can relate so much to all of this!!!!! Subscribed, keep doing what you do, this is awesome, here to stay!!
Hell yeah, welcome aboard!! 🎉
Welcome to Massachusetts where the weather is as bipolar as the residents. I really enjoy your videos making it fun to attempt to learn technology.
1:47 That ChrisFix is so goated when it comes to car repairs 😂♥️🤟

0:32 I totally get you. In Tunisia in the morning it's so chilly I have to wear a coat, and in the afternoon I be sweating because of the heat, and at night back to freezing cold again ..
Ikr lol 😂? My family lives in Tunisia as well.
Real
yea in northern europe its just cold. -.-
same where i live. better wear a jacket in the morning and then hot as balls in the afternoon
The greatest Tunisian that's ever lived
Dementia sucks my grandma has it too I take care of her she does not recognize me anymore but deep down she knows me it's hard man. Hope you doing well.
Hoping the same for you Peter. Stay strong!
Heavy metal poisioning
My dad has early onset dementia. The world is cruel, but at least they have us kids to help them out with their tech! You are a legend Andy, wishing you and your family all the best
My grandmother, who raised me while my mom was a single mother and working, she had dementia. It was very severe and prolonged. It went on for 5-7 years before her passing. I don’t know what type it was, if I’m being honest. But we suspect it was before the diagnosis and even longer than my estimation. It was painful and rapid at points with moments of rejoice for not progressing at times and her having moments of clarity and remembrance, only to be met with sudden rapid declines. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Thank you for these videos and deep empathy for what your family is experiencing with dementia.
Not only is this guy THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED, but he also always finds way to make me laugh.
I always watch your videos since they're so entertaining. I'm sorry about your mum's situations 😭. I also hope your industry gets better 🤞👍
I service elevators in Sydney Australia. A tenant in an apartment calls up saying his son had "posted" his work ipad to his grandmother down the gap between the doors 😮. I asked him from what floor. 14th floors? 😮😮 I honestly asked him exactly what did he expect to find & it was at that time $400 chargeable call out. I told him I expected there'd be nothing left but dust, but he insisted so he could return it to work.
He didn't tell me he had one of kiddie cases with the love handles. The ipad was totally functional & didn't have a mark on. We both couldn't believe it falling from so high up & it took the beating of it life. Of course, he didn't tell his work. 😂
Hah, love this. Those cases are tanks!
I hope your mother has a smooth recovery and that she’s feeling much better soon
Unfortunately Dementia is not reversible but the best we can do is make her comfortable, thank you for your well wishes!
@@SalemTechsperts I’m truly sorry to hear that. I admit I don’t know much about dementia, but I understand it’s irreversible. It’s a blessing that she has you to ensure her comfort, which can mean so much. I genuinely admire your positive attitude through it all. Keep up that incredible energy-it really makes a difference! I’ll keep your mom in my prayers, and may God bless you, your mother, and your entire family. ❤ All my love from Sweden! 🇸🇪 To the greatest son ever lived.
I’m just now realizing I grew up right down the road from here and remember my dad going to your shop when it first opened. Used to shop at that Crosbys all the time and used to go to sidelines with my dad
Small world!
Ngl bro ur my only inspiration for looking/trying to find work in the it space,always loved ur repair vids and how entertaining they are
Glad to see that the techniques I used to replace the battery in my LG phone being validated by The Greatest Technician That Ever Lived! I don't keep the correct kind of adhesive strips, so I had to buy a new back plate that came with them. I don't have one of those fancy heating pad thingies, so I filled an orphan sock with rice and microwaved it to loosen the back.
You have done the Master proud with your shirt!
Hahahaha IT’S THE MAN HIMSELF
I too am an Andy in a repair shop, in the other most expensive part of the country. Im surprised you never got a qianli apollo. I def recommend them if you're transferring serialized components. Or apple could just not suck and hook us technicians up. Fav repair channel
I had their early reprogrammer for the 8-11 and it died on me. Ended up going with the JC V1S???? I forget exactly what it was, I literally put all that shit in the back of my brain with the rest of the phone-repair induced trauma. Getting rid of the phone repair business was like breaking chains off my wrist. Thanks for watching!
I remember doing the exact same repair for my mom's iPad Air first generation. Even though this was not my first rodeo with disassembly and I was following an iFixit guide, I still got unlucky. Somehow I cracked the copper path of the digitiser in the camera location and had to replace not only a battery, but a whole screen.
I swear, disassembling Apple's devices is like playing a Russian roulette.
Even if it's hard as shit to run the business...this channel is forever entertaining. Just like THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT'S EVER LIVED would want it.
Finally something good to watch while waiting for Opencore patched MacOS Ventura to install on my 2010 MacBook Pro 15.
Nice
I just wanted to say this video made me realize that the buldge under the touchpad of my laptop isnt a dust baby, so thank you !
Nice job!
Very nice of you to take care of your Mom.... My Mom eventually passed away from dementia. Not fun.
It’s a terrible disease, I’m sorry you had to experience it. Stay strong brother 🤝
@@SalemTechsperts Thank you sir, that is very kind. I wish you & your family nothing but the best.
Oh man that holding the digitizer on a box of nitrile gloves. Literally did that in the last week, only difference is mine were size L which barely fit. Working on iPads with giant bear hands is... well I have the largest collection of pliers and tweezers in the building for a reason. It is absolutely astonishing how needlessly hard some of these battery replacements get. Please just make the cables long enough so that everything can lay flat on my desk so I don't have to rest stuff on glove boxes anymore apple please. Honestly my biggest gripe with modern tech might be battery replacements, they really need to be easy to do given the fact that if a battery device lives long enough it *will* need one.
I feel the pain of doing repairs with big hands
You and Lupe brighten my days.
My first ever comment has to be how awesome the MST3K Manos the Hand of Fate T-shirt is. Man of refined taste.
"wow that was so simple"
"You like that?"
"No"
I nearly spat out my drink, oh my that got me good 😂
11:40 Lupe has the best time of his life :D
He couldn't stop laughing
Loving the Manos Shirt. MST3K Baybeeeeee!
Hell yeah brother!!!! So glad people are recognizing it
As someone that uses Android, I agree with your comment regarding recommending Apple for non-technical users.
The se- ahem.... sax music never gets old 😂
I know this comment is a drop of water in the ocean of life, but your videos teach me alot and make my days better. Thank you for doing what you are and being what you are.
Keep making lives better man. That's what keeps me going sometimes.
I'm so glad I found someone that knows, and go's through the pain I did. I hated repairing iPad's. It's up there with removing, and replacing iPhone back glass! -__-
Did the same for my grandma Ipad recently so I feel you, absolute hell with nothing but a heat gun and a prying tool, the thing looked like an isopropyl alcohol bloodbath by the end.
Also damaged the paint inside the screen a lot while removing it but at least now it works.
11:42 The greatest rockstar that’s ever lived!
life is more than just a bitch, but it's important to remind ourselves that we are not alone in this (even though it feels like it) and that no matter what happens, we're always here to support you and lupe. take care, guys. ❤
😭 thank you so much, you didn’t have to do that!! So thankful to have people like you in my community, I’m truly grateful
@SalemTechsperts i got paid a few days ago and figured to help a bit. someone has to contribute to the sex dolls and skeletons. 😂
Oh don’t worry about those, they are business expenses!
Mate when you wiped your eye... I died 😂😂 that was chefs kiss
Thanks guys! I used this video to demonstrate to my kids why drugs are bad!
Always a pleasure 🫡
The sponsored segment case so late i actually got jumpscared.
Anyway, awesome video! Hope everything is goes well with your mom! And if someone reads this, give your mother a call if you can. It will make her day better
Loved the stream Andy & Lupie! Thank you for answering a few of my question's
Our pleasure!

AI sure is something
Battery pro Tip:
The best 3rd party batteries i've ever used (Yes, I BOUGHT IT FOR PERSONAL USE), were batteries from BestBattery.
As I live in Brazil, BestBattery is called "BBBaterias" here, but their brand is global.
I bought an extended battery (7.700mhA) for a very old (and power hungry) laptop equipped with a Core 2 Duo T9900. That little monster was able to stay out of the wallet by 4 hours while hitting 100% CPU all the time.
A genuine battery wouldn't be able to keep it running for even 2 hours.
when bro touched his eye i died😂 i love your videos. my favourite tech youtuber keep up the good work man 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱
I love that opening 😂😂 and the comeback at the end 🤯🤣
Also, love how you two are basically siblings "your wipers are trash" "no they're not, i can see just fine!"
Keep up the good work guys 🤙🏽
Hey Andy great video as always! It was nice to meet you the other day!
Damon
Hey Damon! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for stopping by, I enjoyed the laughs!
Hey! I have same Compu Cleaner dust blower (At 4:11 in left bottom corner on black box) for 7 years now. Really destroys ''Datavac'' in terms of price and power. Best purchase ever, before I used canned air, so it was like 7usd per can...
I’ve been using the wireless blower lately, it’s just as powerful and tiny. It’s in my Amazon store
2:14 Me whenever I pickup my mom's phone.
A lot of people don’t know when it comes to accessibility Apple is supreme I was always an android girl, but when I first started losing my eyesight, I went to a state school for the blind to learn mobility, braille, and found out that Apple runs supreme when it comes to accessibility
Sorry to hear about you losing your eyesight! I'm thankful Apple's accessibility was able to help you though. They deserve so much credit for that.
The customer is waiting song is nice. Keep rocking
Also, love the Manos the Hand of Fate shirt!
I wore that shirt so I can see who my favorite subscribers are
The bloopers in this make it a 12/10 great job guys!
thanks for making the song available (The Customer's Waiting) everywhere on 11/14/24 cuz it's a banger (I hope you remember me asking what song it was on last video [I think it was last video]) I hope I can also be doing repairs when I grow up and I'm gonna have your song's in my headphones (maybe even in the lobby)
I can relate. I live in Missouri which is in the Midwest. Yesterday we hit 50 and it rained all day. Today it's going to be 70. Our state also goes through all 4 seasons in one day sometimes.
0:32 I live in WV and I hate this time of year because of the freezing in the AM and 80 degrees at lunch. It’s how I end up with a trunk full of hoodies and coats.
My grandpa had dementia and watching him go from the guy who raised me to someone who had no clue who I was sucked. When he first got his diagnosis he was in the hospital with a concussion and a broken hip from falling while getting out of bed and he saw that I was the last person to call him and he called me many times asking me if I wanted to go do things and I had to ask him if he knew where he was and he didn’t and I cried after I got off the phone with him. He passed in 2020 right before the pandemic started. Shit sucks but those bloopers were funny
i hope your shop survives
It probably won’t, but TH-cam will.
Your videos are wonderfully insane - thank you for brightening my day.
Customer Electronics: 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Family Electronics: 70% alcohol.
Gotta cut corner somewhere when it comes to family discounts.😂
Technician: grain alcohol.
Not to be a nerd but 70% alcohol is actually better than 99 for disinfection because it takes longer to evaporate meaning more time to kill germs
The fact he does it for his mom while he stopt that kind of repair shows he has a big hart
Bro love your content aqnd your swag with the how you don't place true IT work / repair on a non acheviable level. keep it up and If I lived closer from one home lab and director of family IT to another one keep pushing
Thanks, man. Appreciated!
can you do a tutorial or a video recommending gaming laptops that aren't absolutely trash to repair? like laptops that have actual spares and stuff like that
As much as i clown IOS it has its purposes for those who arent as tech savy and in your case its perfect. I know how you feel about dementia my great grandmother passed from complications from it so your not alone man. I love the channel and the dry sarcasm you put out. Take it easy man!!!
8:31 the third leg 💀
😂Really miss your video guy. Greatest technician 😂
I laughed my ass off when I heard the deathmatch spawn sound from CSGO. Anyways, much love man. And sorry about your mother. I can't imagine having to live with such a terrible condition.
Glad someone enjoyed the respawn sound 😂 thanks man, I appreciate you!
Can’t count how many times I’ve watched a Chris fix video to make sure I’m doing the job correctly 😂
I'm really glad that companies keep telling me over and over and over to not pop or cut batteries, because it's just soooooo tempting.
If it wasn't for their constant nagging / warning not to do it, I would've probably already popped a few batteries in my lifetime.
love your sense of humor
I love you
Holy God You just give me a heart attack that private internet access jump scare all of the sudden dude

THANK YOU! Finally, a man of culture saying what I have been saying for years about apple vs android. Truth is coming out
11:40 yo this shit goes haaaard! lupe's killing it!
the way i deal with non power users and android is I install a remote desktop solution on it that i can access and repair their device but i dont think there is one for apple.generally i steer everyone far far away from crapple products and towards stuff that is actually fixable and can be changed to what they need it to do.
11:39 fire music man!
the skeleton jokes never gets old
Even andy watches the gratest car youtuber that's ever lived
I work in the enterprise division of a local repair company and about half of our repairs by volume are iPads. If youre looking for some more tips for iPad repair, 1: I would recommend heating the frame before you remove the battery 2: as long as you can get the old digitzer adhesive fairly flat and you dont have any bald spots you can just slap it back on the heat plate afterwards and it'll seal right up. Also sorry about the shitty parts luck thats why we test the device before we seal it back up
2:40 love those laughs
I can’t stop laughing too funny
6:51 please don't 👀 your vids keep me going fam
❤️
As someone who was a tech way back in the 20th, I still can't get over the gloves.

Im doing a roof local to you guys and i go to the subway everyday for lunch. Not trying to just walk in to your shop so how do fans come say hi?!
Hah this is awesome, generally just shoot us a text and we will unlock the door for you! Next day we’ll both be in is probably Thursday or Friday.
Theres nothing more humbling as a mechanic as putting wipers on something you havent put wipers on before....
As a person who live in the northeast this was filmed like a week and a half ago
The weather is insane for real
3 days ago lava poured from the sky and today liquid nitrogen fell from the sky
