Hey Bob, thanks for sharing. I also do repairs (and started a channel too). I got myself a polarizer LED ring light for my microscope and it makes a big difference in cutting the glare without affecting the light. There is a rotatable ring that changes the polarization gradually so you can adjust it how you want. It also has dimmable LEDs. I was a bit skeptical before getting it but it's made working on stuff a lot easier. It also makes for easy reading of IC markings and for seeing traces better on the board as it effectively gives you like an adjustable contrast. Hope this helps!

It would have been nice to go through the whole setup but Thanks

Awesome. I love doing little repairs like this. I've also started using Lithium batteries instead of alkaline as they're more leak resistant.

It's nothing! You have to torture the machine! You have to practically unpack everything from it! Tanks this video!

Anyone having A1398 Dual Graphics Card version (512 GB ssd, 16 gig rams) should also disconnect the trackpad/keyboard ribbon connector after removing the battery, it will boot up and log into the desktop just fine. Use an external keyboard/mouse combo and stick a tape to the magsafe power connection to avoid accidental pull outs.

Thank for share sir, im from Malaysia, still difficult to reach coverage🙏🙏🙏

I saw someone else using low power engraving tool for this instead of knife, and that strange tiny mace-like head on it to remove pegs,

Thank you so much, i used a safety pin to fix it, took me a couple minutes

Thanks

Thanks for this video with verbal descriptions of what you're doing. Those plastic welds are a bear! I ended up using a Dremel to grind them off. Messy for sure, but quicker without bending the metal frame, and nothing a small PC vacuum & paint brushes can't handle. Think I'm going to try a few key replacement plastic welds in places using zip ties & a soldering iron. Cheers!

Good job man

I was wondering how much did you charge the costomer for this repair .thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH

It realy works

Not as bad as laptops were back in like 2010 though.... they were more like cell phones. Yep - try to take it apart w/o breaking a hidden ribbon cable....

Makin sure them small ribbon cables are plugged all the way in can be another issue. I added a second ssd drive that fit in the hdd spot and yep..... all the way in and latched... need a magnifier.

I am wondering if you can buy the top piece with the keyboard in it. Still cheaper than replacing like 16 keys....

My keyboard works fine but the keys are getting worn to being unreadable. The next keyboard... am hoping the key caps are compatible. You can buy just the key tops but.....insanely priced. I got like a washable dust cover....7 bucks. I don't think I want to take the insides out of the thing unless keys get stuck.... you can buy the keys at between 7 bucks and 11 a piece. I have 16 that are getting worn and getting unreadable. What ever they made the keys out of isn't very durable and doesn't like any kind of cleaners...or long finger nails. Sad for what the gaming laptop costed. As long as it has no dead or stuck keys.... i don't want to take the whole thing apart.

Thanks it helped a lot ❤

Hello, I have an Acer Nitro 5 515-55 with a red keyboard, do you know if I could change the keyboard to RGB?

Hey Is It normal for the Smc to go Crazy then?

This is just a thought, but would a heat gun, running back and over the board (not particularly high heat) would soften the plastic and let you pull up gently, or even shear off the tops?

Worked for me

yessssss I fixed it The problem I expected was from the laptop itself, the charger port had something stuck in it. After watching the video and the comments, I turned on the phone's flashlight to see the charger hole, And I found the part very tilted, even though it was charging, it didn't enter the laptop's port completely. I give it a try, because any movement of the laptop disconnects the charger, not stable. Now the port has been improved. you made my day. Thank you for the video and the explanation. I used a pin hair + a nail, was scared coz I wasn't so gentle. liked subs <3

Worked for me. Thank you so much!

Powered on my macbook air

Thank you, brother, I have the same problem, this is super helpful!

im having lag with freezing same model !

Thank You! I know somebody at work who is selling one with the same problem. Will be buying it soon! Thanks again for this great video and problem solution!

What if the pcb you are replacing has 2 bios chips but the donor board only has 1 bios chip?

I accidentally bent mine, so I took it to Best Buy squad. They said it was unfixable. Tried to get me to buy a new one. Even though I just bought the one and accidentally bent a couple pins right away. So then I tried to take it to a PC repair shop. The guy charged me $50 to tell me there’s nothing he could do. so then I took it back home and my 12 year-old son got a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass and fixed it himself.

6:45 - Looks awful to me.

Good work.

im so sad rn i tried fixing the bents but i made it just i vent more and ripped off 3 pins cause i can't see shit

You was too lucky

Is there a workaround if the BIOS goes missing during the swap ?

I have a late 2015 MacBook Pro, it worked when I removed the battery plugged it in and turned it on, no problems 🎉

ive seen a couple people use dremels to remove the plastic stems, maybe try that next time? its definitely more messy but can be easily cleaned up with a mini vac and it reduces the risk of damage

I have a 2017 macbook air. Been using for years. 2 times it suddenly stopped taking a charge and wouldnt turn on. The first time i messed with it for 2 weeks and randomly it turned on. It was fine for an entire year till it did it again on me about 2 weeks ago. Again i kept messing with it, i thought the battery was toast. Found ur video while searching the internet on how to force a macbook to turn on without the battery plugged in(thank u very much for this usefull info) so i decided to stick the battery back in and use ur method again and boom damn thing works and is charging like nothing happened. Smh

lol i fixed mine with a sim pin

Super helpful, Bob. My wife plugged her computer into a display splotter (for PCs) at a corporate office to charge, and after that, every startup hasbeen static on the screen, stuck at Apple logo, or black, always with the fan maxed out. I suspected battery, and will now give that a try. Thanks!

it does work on my macbook pro 2011 thx a lot!!

I'm new to electronic - what tools did you use to do so? I have the same issue with the WD HD 1TB - need to to take the chip (BIOS) chip. can you provide the some of the tools / gadgets?

Thank you so much!!!!

I have mid 2015 and they are really great, but the batteries keep expanding and I have had to replace it twice, and it needs to be replaced again. I wish there was a way to just get rid of the battery and just run it off the power supply all the time.

Why wouldn't it power on ?

What if doesn't powers on😅 mine didn't

Thanks!!!!

Is there no need to replace the plastic welds?

I have the same laptop and the same problem! But I'm in Kazakhstan. Thank you for your video! But, where did you buy this button? Please share the source
