Today we are practicing our reballing technique on the JHL6540 Thunderbolt Controller IC. The other week I needed to reball one by hand (0.3mm ball by ball one at a time) and it drove me crazy. I picked up a stencil and this is my first use of it! Enjoy :) A few of us have been building a Wiki page to help out fellow technicians too.

Force FX connector between Micro-controller board and RF board
This is a great jig, but a scary price that only high output repair shops can afford. I’m a quasi pro that repairs mostly vintage Macs. I’ve repaired many Retinas and have thought of jumping into the later MacBooks and feel I can make this repair. Your video explains quite a bit. Thanks for the detail. I did subscribe to your channel.
I have the easiest and cheapest solution: buy any other computer brand! 😅
where can i buy the cutting and soldering jigs?
Great video. Just watched it today. Wished I found your video 3 weeks ago when I had a sticky C key where the right half of the white butterfly frame was broken. Apple refused to fix it and wanted to charge $500 for it. I watched a different video where some guy recommend removing the bottom gasket and I could then no longer put it back. I could have just gotten another white frame and followed your steps which would make it a lot easier to deal with.
what this boardview name?
FlexBV
I’m curious why people aren’t using solder paste on the cable repairs?
Interesting, I am curious why you think that would be a better thing to do? I can’t really think of a reason to not try that? I just prefer the way I am use to and it’s cleanup process.
Thank you so much Joseph! I've repaired my keyboard using your instructions.
I am glad you were able to fix it!
thank you so mcuh brother you help me 🫡
How do you put it back on? My display is not going in easily. Is there a trick? Thanks
Hey there, there is another video on the channel about aligning the iMac screen, maybe that could help you out.
Is this method as good as soldering one on top of the other like other repairs have shown? (not the using wires to join, the sandwich way is best I can describe it).
I like this method better. There are no harsh bends in the cable :)
Это работает, благодарю.
Hello i have also this problem on MacBook and i want ask what tools you use to fix your MacBook. You can write me what tools i need to buy for fixing my MacBook? Thanks!!!
Thank you SO much! You legend!
Glad it helped!
This was a great video. It's working so far!
I am glad to hear!
Late comment but can I use regular tape instead of adhesive kit until I get my adhesive kit because they arrive next Friday.
Amazing view. Thanks!!!!!
brother, I need your help, I have an imac a1418 (2014) that drives me crazy, it does not provide audio, the strange thing is that it does provide audio when the machine starts, once the system starts, it does not do so, it does not detect any device, except one that says digital output, I have already ruled out the system, I already changed the headphone jack, I measured if voltage was reaching the codec, and if it did, (just in case I replaced it) and the problem continues, I no longer know what to do, thanks in advance .
would you offer this as a preemptive repair? such as the kflexgaet hasn't happened yet.
Hey! I have not offered this as a preemtive repair. I have seen so many systems just working fine and flexgate never happened to them some reason. But technically, yes it could be.
Are the screen and glass replaced together. I have a cracked 27 5k imac. What is the cost for the replacement. Great video😊
Just did mine. Wish I would have seen this first. I broke out the old broken butterfly clip. I ended up unglueing the plastic cap to get the new fragile butterfly clip underneath. My eyes are not that good. I guess you almost need a microscope to do this. Magnifying glass on a stand, like the soldering stand, sdmaybe? I did find I needed to firmly rub and a press down all around the edges of the plastic cap to get it sealed down again. Sketchy business. My keyboard is barely better. I figure it will never be all the way alright again.
Thx
Please where i can buy the same flexgate cable as the same one in videos ??? 😮 I bought one but its different than the one in video , please if anyone can provide me a link 🙏
Where did you get your adhesive? Great video. Thanks a lot.
Any idea how to convert Hakko Desoldering gun from 110v to 240v?
Now I am watching this after ending up with a cracked screen. I bought a used 21.5 inch iMac 1 year ago on eBay for a good price, however forgot about the display glued to the rest of the machine until I wanted to replace the darn Fusion Drive in it! for a SSD solution! It watched tons of other videos on how to replace a hard disk with a SSD in search of a few good hints on how to.refix the two display connectors after the disk exchange in order to see if the system is working. I had the display come loose unbroken or cracked, but when reassembling the machine I fixed ithe bottom side of display with painters mask tape to prevent it from sliding over the case's edge and tried all sorts to fix those 2 darn display connectors. I thought I had managed to do so, powered the system on but nothing happened so I guess those connectors were not in place correctly. I took the display carefully off again but it slipped out of place falling onto the towel underneath the upstanding iMac when I was busy trying to fix those connectors properly. So I ended up with a cracked and splintered display still not working ... Out of frustration I bought on eBay a 2 years younger 2015 model with a factory installed SSD and 16 GB RAM for a unter 100€ here in Europe as a replacement. Do know what to do with the other one. I do love these smaller 21.5 inch iMacs over the bigger 27 inch model. And with Open Legacy Patcher the installation of macOS 14 Sonoma is no problem at all on these beautiful machines. If I actually do think one day I need a faster machine for example to do perhaps more intensive video editing I can use my Mac mini M1 system with a dual display setup, but anything else ....
Got some OEM apple tape on the way for the ssd upgrade to my 21.5”. I don’t have a suction cup but I’m quite experienced at iPhone screens and protectors, etc. appreciate the instructional, I just want it to land straight the first time! Lol
Hey, nice video, can I ask why you went with a jumperless fix? Im torn between which way to fix.
Ive got a 2017 A1708, I dont think its the backlight cable but the LCD cable on mine. I have vertical colored lines on the screen, so I think my problem is a different cable from the backlight cable. Please advise if you can.
What is the type of tape you used?! lol, I actually wanted to buy some and started watching to find out the name of the tape, and you forgot! I dont think its vinyl? How much do you charge for this by the way?
Where are you located? Need to send mine for repair (from France)
Thank you for those extra comments about 'dustgate' / 'gritgate' starting around 35:30.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing the awesome technique!
You are welcome! I hope it helped!
Great video, thank you. Do you think you can do this with a stanley knife or do I need to actually buy and wait for the tool to arrive?
I would wait for the correct tool. Metal on glass is very risky, generally the glass will crack before the metal would give…
Good call, thanks for a great video! I hope you reach your 1000 subscribers soon :) I subscribed..
Let me know how it goes!
Получилось, спасибо!!
I am glad to hear! Congrats
Great work! What kind of tape is used on flex cable?
It is actually a specific pin-stripe for cars that I use. Durable, flexible, long life.
Good evening, What glue do you use to glue the caps back on please
We don’t glue the caps on, the should click back on. To glue the plastic protector down we use something like T-7000 But if any glue touches the cap or butterfly mechanism, you will have problems
And also I read that some people faced problem not with flex cable length itself. But with dust that accumulates under flex cables (this one that you cleaned with brush) and rubs the cable over time. What causes problems with the Display Matrix and so on. Are you supposed to clean in time to time? And can you not disassemble your mac and just use compressed air outside the hinge?
Hi! Can you please compare 2016/2017 pro’s flex cables with 2018 pro. Cause I saw that Apple adress that problem and make backlight cable 2mm longer. Is it actually true? And we no longer have the same issue with newer macs
Helped me fix my "E" key. Thank you so much! Apple refuses to help with my 2017 Macbook Pro, "too old".
I am so glad to hear that! Well done!
Eeeek. Looks tough. Still don't see how this particular key mechanism is called butterfly. Cheers for the excellent process!
It can be tricky. I would guess it's because it's flexible in the middle and kinda flaps? Glad you liked it!
Great video! Hard to find though - perhaps the title could use a change? My "U" key is fugged and this is just what I needed. However, my key is designed differently (Early 2015 MBP) Hoping I find the same success! Thank you!
I hope you have success too! The 2015 has the older scissors mechanism in it, the keyboard membrane is more of a sealed unit vs this button top type.
Great work, what kind knife you used to take that glue, I am failing at that😢
I use a number 15 surgical blade :)
🌺 Promo sm
Nice technique 😮 after carefully placing my tape for my first attempt and trying to lay it down from the edge I got a misaligned screen. I like your technique, I’ll give that a go once I get the replacement tape. Thank you !
I hope it works out well for you!
@@JosephHughes yes it did 😁🍻best technique I’ve seen! Cheers !
Thank you very much for this! Everything you said was correct and made it so easy!
I am very glad to hear that!
Maybe you have a design for flex holder which are you use? Thank you
Of course I do! I designed it. The holders are also for sale so you can get your very own.
great work! cant wait to see your channel grow!
Thank you!
I missed it!
Next time!
That'll do! Good experienced work.
I’m glad you liked it :)
Great work joe, I really like the jig!
Thanks!
