Mindblowing how Big Boss is able to keep track of all tiny screws and parts while he‘s assembling and disassembling so much stuff each day. I lose track already while having two devices 🤯 maybe you can show us his secret techniques?
It is easy have a container like an ice box, whenever you remove screws put them in cell then put the next in next cell Now when assembling goin in reverse, the last cell got device current screws The idea ; have some aiding tools and processes
I've got $2.00 that says that scorched Filter is actually bad. That burn did not come from no where. (I have a decent understanding of what you are doing with a Meter, I graduated from Coleman College with a Cert. for Computer and Electronic repair, but that was many Moons ago and with not finding a Job in that Industry I followed the Family Practice in Auto Repair.) I have used those skills to excel in Automotive Electrical Diagnostics. Yesterday, (just by chance) had a 2015 Ford Escape towed in for No Start after Vehicle was warm. When Vehicle acted up, Key on, all Dash Lights came on and performed Bulb check like normal. I noticed that after depressing the Brake Pedal to start, they all started to Flicker and totally shut off when you tried to Crank the Engine over. One of the 50 amp Midi Fuses in the High Current Battery Junction Box was not Blown but most likely had a non visible Hair Line crack. Using a Meter, it tested absolutely good. If i would have gone off of Meter readings, I would still be trying to figure it out. (Not sure how you could do it except for testing with power on and loading a circuit while live). It is Called Voltage Drop. A basic Incandescent Test light is a low amperage test. Sometimes I use Headlight Bulbs as a higher Loaded test to find faults in Circuits. In this case, Basic Test light was Bright with Key off. It dimmed a bit with Key On and go completely out when hitting the Brake Pedal or trying to Start. Back to Key off, use a High Beam Headlight bulb as the test, get a spark on initial Probe touch but Bulb would not Light up. Long Story short, Meter's can be miss leading a lot of the time. This 50 amp Fuse was only capable of passing roughly 8 amps of current until it would go Open without actually being Blown.

I have the same issue on my 2012 MBP 15", got chime but no display. It has been sitting on my shelf ever since. I asked the local "fruit" tech and they couldn't figured out anything, recommend me to buy new motherboard which costs almost the same as it is. I hope you will find the problem (which always will), and I'll follow your steps, oh great Guru and the good Big Boss.
If its the retina model. It is most likely the soldering around the Maxim GMUX chip. If it is this chip, you will not have any display even if you shine a torch at it.
Maybe there is a burn trace under the inductor with a burn mark. If inductor is ok, this burn mark had to be come from something. You can also measure the backlight voltage, although I do not thing it is a problem
That burnt component tho - maybe when its getting power its failing - even though its testing ok. I would swap that out as you have a donor board to hand.
i agree... and it looks like an inductor... so maybe its inductance is messed up although it still measures as a short but it isnt acting as a coil correctly
I love these videos. I need to post more of my solder work with customers! You're great at editing all of these on top of your master skill at fixing!!
»How do I use a multimeter?«🤪🤪🤣🤣 couldn't stop laughing! A useful habit of mine is: soon I keep ⁄⁄ salvage things, I label them by using a Tape and write down the current⁄⁄last Condition of that part. If some years late, that specific part comes in question, there is no more search necessary. Just reading the left notice on that Tape will do the job greatly …
Here's hoping you make another video on this particular repair, I would like to see what the problem with it is, because I was also expecting it to work after you found the blown fuse.
Very great and interesting video. Maybe you should change that resistor opposite the fuse you have changed because of the burn mark. This burn mark have to be from that component cause there is no other one nearby. I hope you can fix it and do a second part of this problem. Thank you for the video. Greets
Alex is my dear brother Love your "what can you do". And you die for "better than the factory" and even consider doing something about these sentences, details below, it's confidential hahahaha As for the Mac, it's clear that it's going up, and it's only a problem with everything related to the image. Since you hear the ios login sound It's pretty clear that it's something like that without seeing the following video related to the same device I will watch the next one, and see if I was right.. Anyway, love you! you are my hero !!
These repair videos are priceless, it's the future. The "throw away" mentality needs to stop. Right now Europe is going through an unprecedented heat wave, climate change is real.
Hi Alex, That second burnt mark might be your clue to as why no video. The fuse you replaced was only for the backlight. Perhaps there is another fuse for the video component. Hope you fix it. Thx
When I wanted to get info on how to do something before the internet, I would go to the book store and look for how to fix books. Or, I'd go to where a repair shop was and try and get the tech to show me how they do things. Now, all you have to do is own a computer and google what you want to do or repair. There are tutorials everywhere in the internet. For someone to just ask such a blanket question without doing any research is just LAZY!!! I find that modern people don't even want to put forth the effort in going through a learning experience. I agree with you on just how dumb some questions can be. If it were me answering I'd copy a YT tutorial link and send it.
I was using my imac when the fan noise was so loud and I figured I should clean it all and reapply thermal paste. It won't turn on anymore, only 1st led is on. What happened? I've heard very similar cases around the net on these type of vids
Were you ever able to fix this iMac? I had a 2019 where I replaced the HDD with an SSD and after reconnecting the screen, I got no video. LED5 would never light up. As always, your videos are very informative.
Hi, very good job. I have a problem on backlight screen but after 30 minutes the backlight gonna be working. That's so weird. When I restart the iMac the backlight has working but if I shutdown and restart, the backlight has been no working again. I open my iMac and nothing looks burning or other problems. I make all your test like on video. So my question is: did you have any idea what's wrong? Thanks for your feedback

Hi, I have the same problem, the iMac 21.5 Late 2013 14.1 starts normally but you can see very little of the image of the apple when it is starting Now, I did tests with another iMac 21.5 Late 2112 and I get the same problem, the screen is dark, it is impossible for me to believe that something on the Board has been damaged in both iMac what do you think it could be?
Hi, I've been following your channel for over a year. I have an awful lot of thoughts and I don't know how to write them. I live in GERMANY and repairing is my favorite hobby, which I have been doing for about 30 years. have you ever thought about starting a business under your brand and selling online in EUROPE?
If I was doing that I would have to put a sticker on each item what components I used and what went bad , all the barium , aluminum the government spraying in the air it is difficult to remember things these days. Thanks for sharing
Well, fuses are an additinal layer of safety, so that if a component fails, and there's no ocp, it doesn't catch on fire. And although sometimes, replacing a fuse can fix the issue, you have to ask yourself why it blew in the first place. Similar story goes for low value resistors, he has a video of replacing a blown 10ohm resistor, which blew up as soon as the board was powered on again.
Hello Sir, I have questions regarding my imac late 2013, I have replaced the logic board (AS-IS ¡Mac 27" A1419 Late 2013 Logic Board NVIDIA GTX 780M with 4 GB *NO CPU*) Previous was 2gb of Graphic card so it doesn’t work, no sound nothing showing in display, please help me with this issue
i'm sorry, am a noob, but how can you know the measurement of a capacitor when there is no writing on it ? is it just by its size, does anybody know ? how to...
@@tripsix2186 it's my friends dads he opened it and had a go at replacing his broken touch glass but now no picture he has probably damaged a filter when he removed the connectors I'm amazed it still has backlight though

At 1:49, is that component(filter) a capacitor or an inductor? Thanks in advance.

Were you ever able to fix this iMac? I had a 2019 where I replaced the HDD with an SSD and after reconnecting the screen, I got no video. LED5 would never light up. As always, your videos are very informative.
I see you have an ESR meter on your desk. Can you please demonstrate how you use it in the context of a repair?
Is it a decent idea to first measure the cap from donor board as you will know value for future repairs? No need to desolder and test value in future.
Once you took the mobo out again because you forgot the RAM I didn't hear the chime on each subsequent attempt to boot.
Damn! I'm curious nów how the repair has ended
but sometimes boats do not like to sail in the direction of the wind...may be board issue?lvds cable?ram did not installed properly?lcd panel?🤔

So fuses on an Apple board can actually blow, instead of connectors and mosfets.
yes, so from this we may have some avenue of troubleshooting. Generally apple fuses don't blow so if they do maybe they point to something repairable.
Well, fuses are an additinal layer of safety, so that if a component fails, and there's no ocp, it doesn't catch on fire. And although sometimes, replacing a fuse can fix the issue, you have to ask yourself why it blew in the first place.

Does it power an external monitor?
if none of the lcds work try reflowing the graphics card that might help.

Will you have hot pliers on the site to buy that would make taking of smds so much faster then way I have been doing it.
search for : Soldering Iron Tweezer
smt soldering wattage is 20 ~ 25 watt
if more it will fry the traces if not handled properly
