Spoiler Saver and Riddle. Many thanks to Mike for allowing a video to be made on this AND donating it. Riddle - Jimmy has to choose between 3 rooms. The 1st is full of raging fires. The 2nd is full of assassins with loaded guns. The 3rd is full of lions that haven't eaten in 2 years. Which room is safest for Jimmy?
Regarding your query about the PPBUS_G3H vs PPBUS_HS_CPU, they are connected via R5400 which is a current-sense resistor, so yes, they're effectively the same rail in this instance. It's a bit of a pain that it's not always easy to represent that interconnection between two rails; invariably in features I've written in the past for FlexBV when I try to do "next network connected..." it turns in to an incomprehensible visual mess :(
Thank you, Vince! My respect to you. In February 24 I understood that all my life is fit in 40 liters backpack. In one moment I lost my dental clinic, my new house, my office. I sincerely wish your family will never experience what happened to mine. Your Ukrainian subscriber.
Think for a better tomorrow whilst getting through today best you can. I can offer nothing more than to say your folk are in our thoughts at least, if I was younger I prob would have headed off myself to join up but sadly too old and unfit, your country is going to need folks to help put it back together because this situation cannot last forever. Good luck
I’m from Ukraine and my wife’s MacBook stopped turning on just a few days after the war began. Cut the story short: we managed to fix it in some local service. What a coincidence, lol. Anyway, thanks for the great content, Vince!
Good news Aleksi, Ukrainian techs are smart , hope it keeps working for you. We have a thunderstorm in Vinnytsia at the moment , better than the storm i left in Kharkiv
I'm impressed with ukrainian techs. What they do to keep those vendor locked john deeres running is amazing. Even amercan farmers use their work arounds for fixing their combines and stuff.
Vince, I have been following your videos for a long time and is so nice to see how much you have learned since then and how much confidence and results you are having now. This is what RUclips and the internet was made for… you learned from it and now you give back by sharing your own experiences. Well done mate !
Apple “genius” is a fancy word for salesman When a apple device has a problem that requires more than 5 screws to be loosened they always say it’s dead, or liquid damaged which is why I never take apple devices to the apple store but directly to independent repair shops
You simply cannot have a favourite Australian; it's positively un-British to be friends with Australians ( unless we're winning the Ashes ). Happy to see you picked up a solid smoking-gun fault-fix situation board, bravo.
😂 I didn't realise Paul, I will have to let down Margot very gently...this is going to be hard. BUT how lucky was I on this fix, not even a chip, but a cheap easy to find cap showing itself on 1 volt, result👍👍
I love your little happy dances when stuff starts working. One little capacitor... Awesome fix! And really nice to know the laptop will be going to a family in need!
@Dr Weirdgloves If that's the case, and all their staff at the GENIUS BAR just replace things then it shouldn't be called a GENIUS bar. For a company that likes to push their eco freindlyness why cant they change parts. There seemed to be multiple testing points on the board to accomplish some simple testing to locate the faulty part. I have a love-hate relationship with Apple. I like their products but hate the way they rip of their customers. Perhaps when they sell their items they should point out the cost of fixing (sorry I mean swapping) if anything should go wrong. I dont know about this board but for a premium price shouldn't this item not have gone faulty. All companies have business models but Apple model seems to rip its customers off which isn't a great model.
That was a really nice fix. Love it when you can fix something for a fraction of the cost of a fix from the manufacturer. Especially when it's a reasonably modern piece of equipment that still has a lot of years left in it.
Well done. I did hold my breath though when you removed the cap, even with low melt solder, by heating just one end and then bending it over. I was expecting the left pad to lift and cried a little in reaction to "came off nice and easy, didn't it" (27:08). One suggestion is to use two small soldering irons in future similar circumstances.
Vince is FIGHTING for EVERYONE'S right to repair! We ALL have that right! Haven't finished the video yet Vince, but I will always salute you for all that you do. And I'll reply to this comment at the end of the video just to show I watched it all 🕷
Nice one Vince - just affirming my first comment. Apple have NO RIGHT to charge obscene amounts for repairs - and neither does every other manufacturer. Not all heroes wear capes - you, sir, are a myth among men! But! Margot Robbie...? Mate, we're both old enough to remember Helen Daniels, so let's not be hip with the hop 🤣🤣 Love it Vince 🖤
@Keltic D Stop kissing the Apple boot. Apple won't let you order individual components if you want to repair your broken logic board, they don't let you get hold of schematics so that you can troubleshoot your device. They actively tell companies to ONLY sell them chips etc, so that even if you wanted to repair your device nobody but Apple can buy the component you might need.
@Keltic D Okay, so you clearly don’t understand the term “right to repair” and instead have become a salesman for the people that charge £420 for a £5 repair. Everything you’ve said is wrong - if something I OWN is broken, I should have the RIGHT to REPAIR it myself - and that means NOT having to do what Vince did in this video, and other videos. It means something breaks, I fix it. Or, in your uncalculated infantile brain, I shouldn’t pay nearly £500 for a £3 fix. Imagine buying food for a week for £3 ($4.45) in one store or a weekly food shop in another for £500 (nearly $700)… what would you pick? No jog on you little troll. Enjoy paying for repairs, while I enjoy fixing them.
@Keltic D You literally said that Apple don’t try to stop people repairing their devices. Explain how they’re not stopping you to repair your device when they tell chip manufacturers to not sell anybody but Apple a certain kind of chip, or when Apple serializes parts so that you can’t replace them yourself without their software. And yes, people did use provided schematics to fix stuff back in the day, don’t be stupid and say otherwise.
Vince - FLIR cameras don't like reflective surfaces (like the shiny chips on the board); cover them in black tape, if you want to measure the temperature😉
“Worthy cause”, by who’s definition? So many BRITISH families queuing outside food banks, their education dropping behind our visitors, so a MacBook may go a little way to even up playing field, but screw them, no mutual back slapping and egregious displays of sycophancy for those box ticker’s. Anyway keep scanning the news for the “latest thing” to jump on.
Great fix ones again Vince, very clever how you found the fault. Next tume you can maybe try the volt injection with te flurecam together then you would probably see the heat as well. Great content love your videos and positive attitude 👍
I love the passion you have for your fixes. I too get excited fixing computers and things of the sort. I actually feel a little of the chemical release I get fixing things by just watching you. Plus, I get to learn new ways of finding faults. Thanks 😊
Hey Vince. 10:42 that port allows you to attach a special tool for data recovery in the event of a failed logic board/macbook won't power on. It was removed from newer macbook models. Watching from The Bahamas.
It always brings a smile to my face when you are able to fix something And it seems that one is one of the ones that has the butterfly keyboard, which is known to have issues, i hope the family it is going to don’t run into any issues with the keyboard And for reference, 2016 to 2019 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pro models have the butterfly keyboard, along with 2015 to 2017 12 inch MacBook models, and also 2018 and 2019 MacBook Air models So essentially all Intel MacBooks which have USB C ports, with the exception of touchbar MacBook Pros with a physical escape key, and the 2020 MacBook Air
Oh, the poor woman that puts up with your shenanigans. For her sacrifice, we are permitted access to your depistage videos. always a treat. thanx brother... That woman will ba a much revered Saint of Patience one day 😅
Great fix! I just switched from iPhone back to android after 8 years due to Apple's ridiculous stance on right to repair. Had Apple care plus and my phone was covered but they won't let local authorized repair shops keep parts on hand and it would've been 5 days to swap out a swollen battery that took me 15 min to fix. Have a z fold 3 now and selling my 12 pro max. Granted I know if I damage the screen on my new phone I may have to send it in for repair but a local authorized samsung repair shop here has samsung parts on hand so I have more faith in them to get things done quickly. That and Samsung teamed up with ifixit to make parts available for end users!
Awesome stuff BFF, another great fix! For such a great cause too... While I'm happy you got this working, I'm not happy now because now you've had your easy cap only fix (remember mine?) so now I need to find something even easier on a macbook to fix 😂
Great video Vice. Can you please indicate what music you are using at the end of your videos. Quite like some of that stuff and would love to know what it is. Cheers.
Amazing work...just curious..how much approximately such kind of repair job would cost in US or UK by a local technician..? 50% or 25% of the apple estimate??
Your USB voltage tester is weird. Its labelled output when its clearly and input of the charger, likewise inout is labelled as the output for voltage into the laptop :)
Wow Vince what a fix this is, you were about to give up but the voltage injection solved the problem. Nice what you have done! Already looking forward to the Rolls Royce video, haha. big thumbs up ;-)
Well done Vince! I guess you're the MacBook Eleven? No more the Mac-flayer? ... Guess I'm reaching a bit on those Stranger Things puns. Sounds like the laptop is going to a good cause as well. Cheers!
I'll take that Shawn... I'm trying to better them but I can only come up with Mac-Breather instead of Mouth-Breather... When I have to explain the PUN then you know it is bad 😂👍
As always your vids are very interesting and fun to watch. Have been following you for several years now, Keep up the good work. I was wondering if you were ever going to do another series with other RUclipsrs (like TampaTec) where you guys have a competition. They were a blast to watch. A possible suggestion, to have a competition to fix various things, but have your children involved in the repair (just an Idea)
For so long you've been hoping you could fix something with just a shorted capacitor. Your dreams came true with this one. A part costing pennies rendering it needing 400 pound plus to repair. Apple needs to improve its repairability to convince us it's being sustainable. They should do a repair like that for 30 quid or so. But I bet they'd simply install a brand new motherboard
It’s simply a matter of economies. This was an easy and cheap fix once you know the source of the fault, but it could have been a more expensive part. The original fault could have caused others that will manifest later. Diagnosis could have been a lot harder than this one. It probably took Vince half a day to find and fix the fault. If Apple took half a day identifying your problem, that would be more expensive than replacing the whole board for a guaranteed fix when the diagnosis could have taken half a day and still came to the conclusion that the board would need replacing for a good fix. I know it sounds like they’re doing things wrong, but can you name any other manufacturer who does what Vince did here as their repair process or do they all just replace whole boards and modules?
@@sdjmchattie not really I will agree. Right to repair rules might change things though. Your right in it'll probably still be whole boards and not individual chips and also that something else could have caused that capacitor to fail so in the long term the fix isn't guaranteed. I guess they would end up with lots of 2nd or 3rd fixes and you're right it wouldn't be economical. The repair cost from Apple is still huge though. That's nearly half the price of the laptop
@@paultasker7788 thanks for the reply. It’s good to hear more perspectives. In reality, bearing in mind the fix would have to be replace the whole board for it to be a realistic approach to Apple’s repairs, what do you think the repair cost should be? I would guess it’s got to be a part that costs them around £200 to make. Half an hour of someone’s time to do the swap and test. Perhaps another £60 in wages, insurance, premises, tools during that half hour. Add some profit because businesses aren’t businesses without it. Plus VAT. I would guess this is always going to be a £350ish repair and then Apple add on a bit more because it’s Apple.
Great job troubleshooting the issue. 460 lbs is just outrageous. In the U.S Louis Rossman is fighting the right to repair. Consumers would end up throwing electronics in the dump. Thanks for the video. Love your channel
Amazing! They probably would've tested the board and swapped it out for a new one on the spot. I hate to think how many laptops or similar are tossed in the bin due to one tiny fault like this.
PPBUS_HS_CPU For some reason I've been seeing it it's common It's always to do with one of those Shorting out or Is cracked capacitor.. It even happened with my own touchbar macbook .. Watch out for flex gate Is common on those models too Glad to see you get it going 👍
I half expected to see a comment from Louis Rossmann in this thread, haha. Rather than the thermal camera and alcohol, Louis would've probably found it using the owwie test.

Nice fix

Great work!
It would be nice Anders! But I think that honour will go to one of the Rolls Royce vids. Cheers 👍👌
Absolutely spot on repair there Vince. A pleasure to watch.
thats the beauty of vince's videos they show it can be done.
Nice work Vince, you've really come a long way with your troubleshooting and problem solving abilities!
Well Done VInce! Another excellent job. It's ridiculous how apple wanted £450 and it was literally pennies to fix.
This is why right to repair is so important! This relatively cheap component saved the laptop from landfill!

Loved this video.
I think you saying you left the ipa in the roller is the best thing I've heard all year
This is why i tell people NOT to jump to conclusion that the whole board is dead.. it could be just a small problem as a tiny capacitor.
This shows just how greedy every company is and why they hated Rossman's right to repair program!

I would guess it’s got to be a part that costs them around £200 to make. Half an hour of someone’s time to do the swap and test. Perhaps another £60 in wages, insurance, premises, tools during that half hour. Add some profit because businesses aren’t businesses without it. Plus VAT. I would guess this is always going to be a £350ish repair and then Apple add on a bit more because it’s Apple.
Great job troubleshooting the issue. 460 lbs is just outrageous. In the U.S Louis Rossman is fighting the right to repair. Consumers would end up throwing electronics in the dump. Thanks for the video. Love your channel
What's an "lbs"? 460 local bike shops?
room 3 Vince, the lions starved to death , amazing fix on the ipad , nice
Amazing! They probably would've tested the board and swapped it out for a new one on the spot. I hate to think how many laptops or similar are tossed in the bin due to one tiny fault like this.
@my Mate Vince can u do more tea break fixes mate ? :)
PPBUS_HS_CPU For some reason I've been seeing it it's common It's always to do with one of those Shorting out or Is cracked capacitor.. It even happened with my own touchbar macbook .. Watch out for flex gate Is common on those models too
Glad to see you get it going 👍
Great video👍👍👍👍, PPBUS_HS_CPU is connected to PPBUS_G3H through R5400 which is a current sense resistor for PPBUS_HS_CPU, Keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Anonymous👍👍👍
great work
another job well done Vince
Well done Vince you have given a lovely computer to a loving home great job bro here is a gold 🌟 wear it with pride ☺️
It is a tantalum capacitor. They fail all the time. I could never count how many of those I replaced already.
Grate video love watching your video someone enjoyed there dinner berp lol keep video
have you been trained for Micro soldering and to find short circuits and faults ? or did you learn it yourself
I half expected to see a comment from Louis Rossmann in this thread, haha. Rather than the thermal camera and alcohol, Louis would've probably found it using the owwie test.
I have an old Acer laptop it'll boot up an shut off after between right away or 10 min. What could be a few possibilities that could wrong?
