As a resistor jockey myself I am not in the least surprised by your appearance here Steve. Kudos. I'd say much respect but you already had that. P.s. congrats on the new place and can't wait to see this fancy fan testing machine you've been bragging about. Fan spin, mmmmm, fan spin........

If thing B needs thing A to function, or if thing A is simply more important, then it makes sense to start with thing A.

@@myownsite I'm not an expert like Louis is, but I would imagine there's more risk in fixing other things first if they receive more voltage than they could handle due to a power delivery issue.
First Steve went on his manufacturing learning arc, and now he's learning hardware repair? Makes me want to learn all this stuff too. Great collab and super informational!
FYI: flux is a de-oxidizer, and also shields the components from the outside environment/air so the solder and the part you are soldering cleans up as you apply heat and solder to it.
As someone who didn’t know this and saw him squirt a big squirt of it(so much anxiety tbh), it all makes sense. I just thought ANY type of liquity would mess up an electronic piece.
@@yoshisaur-munchakoopas it's not the water itself that damages the device, it's when the device tries to power on while wet that damages the device. you can dunk a motherboard in fresh water and leave it to dry overnight, and it'll work fine.
@@thiefrules It's actually the particulates and impurities in water that has minerals and ions which enables the conductivity. Purified water isn't very conductive at all.
I don't think I would have the confidence to do "simple" things like changing a cap without your videos. Thanks for teaching the world. As someone who collects and repairs vintage PC's, these mac's aren't much different, definitely smaller tho.
Love how Steve is overall making sure everything is working well and explaining the audience what is happening, while Louis is like a child explaining something he is very passionate about. Excellent dynamic between you two.
A real pleasure to see two experts in different areas with so much respect for each other. A great example of expertise being the result of humility and a desire to always learn from those around you.
It is no bad thing to celebrate something as this. Seeing Steve come out of his 'comfort zone' to learn something new is nothing short of courageous. I now have a deeper appreciation and love for both Steve and Louis. Both are great men imho.
@@calvindibartolo2686 Do you remember someone swapping the 1GB gddr6 chips for 2GB gddr6 chips on a 3070? I thought that was cool. Didn't work as it needs an update for the gpu to realize that there is more memory address space available and nvidia encrypts their drivers and firmware to prevent exactly that sort of thing.
I'm a tech nerd, resident family I.T. guy, but hearing Louis say he can't do the filing of the chip due to shaky hands. I've always been nervous about board repair in general cause I too have shaky hands. Also having Steve on is the best unexpected collab ever.
Only a few minutes in, and I'm loving this so much. Louis in teacher-mode and Steve asking all the questions that pop up in my head whenever I watch repairs. This filled in so many little tiny gaps for me! Thanks!! This helps so much!!
Oooh... rage fight commence! Actually my debate is usually along the lines of "Pointless [thermal] returns on crazy expensive pastes" ( I'll stick to my Arctic ceramique )
@Hastur Dagon yep, good tolerance of application method, good performance, long life and budget cost; while I might lose 1~2'C overall of cooling compared to "the best" I'm more than happy with that.
Louis is a hardware technician, his new PC would turn into frankenware really fast anyway, heck you should see what I have done to my hardware in the past XD
Watching somebody with as much technical know how as Steve learn from another techie is a dream come true! Looking forward to watching this in full when I wake and learning a thing or two on the way myself.
I love watching youtubers like Louis and Stephen collaborating like this with each other its great, just like Linus did with Luis Rossman, it makes me smile
Explained flux as something that allows the solder to flow better. Main point is that it keeps air away like with welding. It doesn't let air near heated metal surfaces which would create an oxide layer on them. To which solder doesn't want to stick to. Also, helps clean a bit, since some stuff/muck floats away from the surface into or to the surface of the solution.
It was funny watching Louis help Linus fix his Mac because Louis had to be a little reserved for linus' audience. This was goddamn hilarious because Steve almost didn't know how to take it. Of all the tech tubers Steve is actually the least surprising to see on this side of things.

You all got along so much better than Linus. Nothing is meant against Linus with that it's just personalities that didn't really mix well. You could tell that you all would just get along. Love it.
You have to remember he met Linus back when he was a smaller creator and back when he himself was also new to youtube. The longer Louis has done youtube the more comfortable he has been. Also him and Linus went out to grab a bite together and talk (was not filmed).
@@rossmanngroup well theres a few minutes worth of practice to get it started, but your soldering experience seems to give you the right understanding for welding. other than the heat and chance to seriously fuck your eyeballs, oh and the toxic fumes, you might like giving welding a try.
When things are repaired and they turn on and start working, they bring a special type of happiness to me. Somewhere deep in me, if reaffirms the fact that we know this stuff 😅
This was a fantastic video, Louis has a very friendly and calming approach to teaching, Steve was equally open and humble, I now want Louis to do a series where he brings in RUclips tech “influencers” for a board repair and interviews and Louis giving the guest a gift that “vibrates in the hand” at the end
Can you please do more videos like this where you teach someone with zero experience. He asked a lot of the questions I had when watching some of your other repair videos.
I had the same reaction to thumbnail. Looks like Steve, but i was not sure do to the lack of hair, could be some louis' employe i have not seen before, lol
I knew this colab will happen sooner or later. Glad it came through despite how closed off the world has been due to "current events". Enjoyed seeing the usual expert PC parts and assembly tester and reviewer jump straight into Macbook repair under Louis's guidance. Plus you guys are cat people so I knew you guys will hit it off just fine.
Huge move by Louis for some exposure, this was such a fantastic and informative watch. Thank you so much for GNX for coming out and repping for team RTR.
Seeing Louis interact with other people is great. Very fidgety, makes me nervous, like he's not listening. But I got a friend exactly like that, and I know it's just how he is. Great video!!
I am the same way. I used to pop benzodiazepines all the time to deal with it and people really liked me. Now that I stopped taking drugs they think I am on drugs, go figure. It is all good though, I make way better friends now because they have to get past that to understand what is going on...
@@MaxUgly own your weirdness, and you'll be good. Your friends will vibe more with you as well. Side note, I never did drugs growing up but people always assumed I was the pot head due to my spaciness and dark rings under my eyes.
This is awesome! When watching Patrick go through the very technical details of an Asus power supply, I specifically thought to myself (this is very technical and reminds me of a Louis Rossmann repair video). "You can never use to much of this flux" - Louis This is the same motto Steve has for thermal paste. Its a match made in heaven.
THis is so awesome man. I have been waiting for you 2 to Collab. Literally my 2 Favorite Creators. Love it. When do we get to see you guys take an AMD Bike Ride around the City and Look at NYC Real Estate?
26:11 I was just gonna comment how competent and good you are at board repair & macbook circuitry after I heard you were explaining the SMC earlier. 2009-2014, you really dedicated yourself there, that's longer than BS in EE. You're a pro athlete @ electronics repair!.
I saw the thumbnail and was like "noooo, no way you didn't..." But then you did it. It's good to see you on here Steve, I'm glad had had fun with Louis!!
My whole soldering experience was soldering I think 2 keyboard switches so I didn't even understand much but I did get an urge to solder something. Seems like a useful skill, maybe board repair is too advanced, but just to be able to solder something together. The coop was nice to see.
Louis dude you are a badass.. I have done some soldering on large cables and stuff. This micro soldering is next level and you really know your shit. My roommate once left a toaster on and a cable was above it. The cable above it was for her blender. I cut the cable. Stripped the wires. Twisted them together. soldered. Then put electrical tape around the solder. Worked like a charm. It was fun.
This was so much fun! Thank you for taking the time to teach me. Learned a lot in just a short time and excited to learn more.
Didn't expect this collab, awesome to see!

I felt the pain in Steve's voice when he asked "So you think this'll last you for another decade?"
He wants to build him a PC so bad, especially after the soldering gun I imagine. I love these dudes!
"The worst thing you can do right here is you kill an Apple product."
"I'm ok with that."
- Men I truly respect
literally read your comment right as he said that
I am ok with that too.
Two of the most honorable and trustworthy youtubers in one video. If more people were like you and Steve the world would be a much better place.
"f more people were like you and Steve the world would be a much better place."
Then be one of those people.
my thoughts exactly.
This has to be one of the coolest most humble surprise collabs ever!
Seeing Louis teach Steve is some nerdy wholesome goodness for sure!!
Now if he can get Antony from LTT.
@@sopcannon that would be very interesting as well!
I'm just so happy for Louis that a board repair video got nearly 100k views.
Seeing veteran tech priests of 2 different specialities in the same room is always nice

I had a random thought a week ago about Steve fixing a board with Rossmann out of nowhere.
And now ive concluded i have supernatural abilities
Or, we indeed live in a simulation.
It’s called precognition - if you look for it now you’ll start to see it more and more 😁
That's that universal connection, baby! We all have it!
Best crossover in history. I hope Louis can appear on GN, maybe do an ovenless GPU repair.
GN could do one of those "extreme interventions" type of deals where they kidnap Louis's pc and build it properly lol.
That PC's fine. I've used uglier.

Keep him away from the power supplies before they explode
Gotta love watching two people with mutual respect and admiration be excited about talking and working together. :D
Steve is always so much more energetic without a script
Louis is pretty much responsible for me getting into repairing all sorts of electronics on soldering level. True inspiration and genuinely nice guy.
