Your confidence is overt the roof. No panic even when dealing with MacBook Pro for the first time. Good work. I think there's nothing you cant fix Sorin. Keep it up. we are learning alot of stuff here.
Thank you so much Sorin, this is exactly the same fault and component failure in my Macbook Pro 13 inch A1708. brilliant. you have made mu day with this very informative video. also I really appreciate the pace that you work at as it help the viewer absorb the information at a steady pace. Unlike so may other RUclipsrs which go way too fast.
this is the same level as beginners but when you find out the problem it shows you again you are genius, from zero to something incredible ...thanks for the tutorial sorin love your teaching
The Apple business model is that you are paying for intellectual property rights but with the cheapest components so that when your product fails and is taken to the "genius" bar you are told that the main board needs to be replaced at a price that will just make you buy a whole new product with the "latest" features, I call it the "extended bait and switch scam".
Fixing Apple MacBook Pro with Toshiba diodes ( not dual ones but regular ) - priceless...If Louis Rossmann see that video he will probably come to work for you... ;) :):)
with all due knowledge you have, and confident in repairing thumb up, I bow before your humility to go about repairing, great job Sir Sorin. keep up more video please...............
@@pldaniels one day i will afford to buy ur crab. i sent an email why didn't you reply me dude. im really disappointed. i watch all your videos day and night plz take a look at that
@@babak.400 what was the email about? I get dozens of emails every day from people asking for help on various faults but I do not have the time to reply (because I'm busy fixing machines myself, and writing code, as well as tending to things outside of work). If you're in Australia and it's about a machine you're looking to send in for repair, try me again and put your RUclips name on the subject. Thanks.
This one is reminiscent of Louis's 'Leaning Tower of Backlight' video where he stacked caps on top of each other due to a large shorted hole in the board. Interesting video, as although Sorin approaches repair from a different perspective to Louis, both hold the same view that Apple quality control and design leave much to be desired.
Nice job. Like watching your videos, I learn a lot. Not to get confused with 5 volts on the current sense resistor, as i know and keep it less confusing, it is start up voltage for 3.3v to power two ics that communicate with mac safe to open 20v supply.
Its not crap...for repairers you can make more money fixing macs than with pc laptops. I know that from experience. Once you master a method and follow it almost everything becomes easier to solve. Nothing is difficult if you start from the beginning. Alot of us watching sorin dont even know the basics of electronics. Unless we master that first whatever Sorin tells us wont make alot of sense. Even Sorin himself confuses component names and doesnt correctly name them but because he is very skilled it doesnt matter but for those watching the video it can create bad habits.
Sorin, the mac usb charger works like this: it usually sends 5V to avoid to burn usb powered things an idiot could connect, like a phone. When you connect it to a macbook the smc sends a specific signal on the data pins so the charger could pass 20V like a normal charger.
Links repair pldaniels.com/flexbv/ this is for the paid version, but there is a free to use version with a couple of functions missing. I will do my best to find the link for you. But the licence for this is $79 but for the information you can get from it will greatly speed up repair time.
I wonder why you still don’t have a thermal camera. I bought a FLIR Pro and it’s really easy to find shorts with it. I 3d printed a housing for a Makro lens too for smd work.
Macbook motherboard design is different from the others but components and voltages are the same as all other motherboards.just check 3.3, 5 and 19 volts present or not.and ram voltage(1.2v or 1.5v) of course.I would like to say Conguratilations to you that you can read and find voltage measurement point in a few seconds on schematics.3 years ago I stopped repairing motherborads cause here is not worth enough money for repairing motherboards.Video show is good idea.Funny,Fallowing your next videos.Bye
Insane prices for bad quality = Apple stuff ! Thanks for this vid again Sorin, you're boss... One thing: pls replace the cap, it's 'critical' in this case.
On common laptops I can follow you step by step , with this Apple I'm lost maybe it's better if I watch the video tomorrow morning with battery fully loaded
Sorin Smd multilayer capacitors are very unreliable, i think they are just too fragile and layers crack from stress/vibration/heat cycles and become shorted. Cost has nothing to do with it, just a bad idea. Louis rossmann has found lots of shorted caps in the macbooks he repairs.
Would it be possible to put those diodes on the free space to the right, then solder the wires, and then finally use hot glue to keep them in the place? Great educative video!
Any chance of a copy of that schematic Sorin? Two diodes across it would do it. Take a magnet out of an old hard drive and screw it to a corner of your bench, great for holding tiny screws.
Louis Rossmann teaches us to always look at the board first for any obvious faults...then go through the power rails and find out which one is missing...yes finding the ampere using your power supply can guide u roughly but with macs you need to manufacture the cable first to do this. The only complaint i have with your methods is that you skip around alot..there is no set method you follow...i have watched most of your pc laptop repairs and i think you are a very knowledgeable person..but i think thats the problem..you know your stuff but creating a consistant method like louis does would really help solve issues for your viewers..to date only a handful of channels out there repairing laptops actually go through the process systematically. The main issue is that they are in hindi and not in english. I know that if you do create a logical step by step method like louis does your channel would grow so fast..i admire your skillset..without any schematics..i dont think louis could do what you can without schematics.
ähm??..why u dint put the 2 new diods together in 45 degree...one big solder connection on top and press the back a little bit outside!! Like a upside down A
hhh apple products are those affordable stuff I'll spend my life without acquiring one :) and I'm not an apple hater, I recommend it to many ppl (whose cars trunk is always vacuumed & clean), but surely not for everybody who those with messy car trunk with lots of useful stuff for just in case :p (like me).
Hi Mr. Sorin, First of all you're are great and you're doing a great job and I like your channel. I have the same laptop 2017 MacBook Pro 13inch A1708. My problem is my laptop is shutting down while booting. Can you let me know what could be wrong. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
lol its funny....i was trying to fix a macbook with water damage (without schematic) and yeah its very confusing....I had to use the continuity function everytime to see where every part is going....in the end i said "fuck it" and I found the schematic , which was very hard to find btw
Apple might have been good quality once upon a time but now they have lots of people hooked they are using low quality components, lower quality = more profit , and still people go back to them
Bad quality component on a $2,000 heap of last year's tech in a pretty box fashion item? I DO believe it lol. Apple before 2010 OK after that not for me. Only repair them for family and friends now!
Had a 2012 macbook air that just died out of the blue, so just got a 2017 macbook pro, because apple wanted 400 something to repair it....nah time for an upgrade anyway....
Hello Sorin, is it possible to give me an advice about the A1708. I have similar situation. The difference in my case is that when i measure the double diod I receive 19V to 0V and always fluctuation. On L6995 I get 10V on .2 and 3.3V on p.1. Flowing the schematic on c6990 I have 19V. On fuse F7000 - nothing. Would you please share your opinion how to proceed with the troubleshooting
Your confidence is overt the roof. No panic even when dealing with MacBook Pro for the first time. Good work. I think there's nothing you cant fix Sorin. Keep it up. we are learning alot of stuff here.
You are a great person Sorin, when I come to England i will visit you. I wish you all the best.
Do u know where he is working in England
As always - Thank you Sorin for continuing to share your knowledge with all of us!

I just start watching this Channel a few days ago .. And wow . I learned So much from you .. you r amazing . Keep it going
Respect, professor Sorin!
Sorin... YOU... ARE... A LEGEND !!…
Your are doing great job.... You are master in repair....
great job as usual mr Sorin
thanl you, great with the explanation at the end too. Got a MacBook pro with liquid damage, found schematics so eager to follow the lead :)
Ok now i know patience is must and sir you are on top in it. Thank you for your full knowledge sharing with us.
I swear you can did it
Excellent job Sorin

Great Job as usual!
i got many lessons from you Sir......reduce reuse rebuild refund recycle.....love two diode style
Nice another video sir, thank's to share this video.
my fav teacher
Pretty awesome technique using the two diodes Thanks for sharing
with all due knowledge you have, and confident in repairing thumb up, I bow before your humility to go about repairing, great job Sir Sorin. keep up more video please...............
you master really master sorin
respect for you sorin.fantastic jub.two diodes for macs two bravo for sorin.respect ...............

Wow, great fix with no knowledge about Macbooks. 2 bad components are hard to find. Gold content.
Sorin nice lunchtime job.
You are great with Apple. making a modification and it works fine.
Louis rossman specializes on this type of crap. And yes you definately need schematic this shit is designed to make service a nightmare....

I always go to Louis site when i get stuck on Apple.
yeah apple product are with Louis and irehab...they are the best in apple products...but this channel is different and best as it was
You are always good. Thann you sur.
Thank you sir
„We lost one“ got me so good 😂😂😂😂

Great job Sorin! i very love Toshiba diodes :)
You need Paul Daniels software there is a free to download version without the quick board flip function. It’s extremely good.
can you provide the link to download?
Links repair pldaniels.com/flexbv/ this is for the paid version, but there is a free to use version with a couple of functions missing. I will do my best to find the link for you. But the licence for this is $79 but for the information you can get from it will greatly speed up repair time.
openboardview.org/ or try this one.
Fully recommended. Free version will not work with PDF and that's all different between paid and free. Thumbs up for Paul Daniels
thanks
Awesome job, congrats!
GOOD JOB MASTER
many thanks, sir .
Thank You for sharing. At 15:05 maybe you want search for R7020 not R7022...
I wonder why you still don’t have a thermal camera. I bought a FLIR Pro and it’s really easy to find shorts with it. I 3d printed a housing for a Makro lens too for smd work.
Yep.. a cheaper flir-one can speed-up a lot this kind of jobs...
sorry but the losing of the diode made me laugh
rooohhh how it's possible a second time 😂
Awesome job!
nice very. you did wonderful.
What about video of TV repair? Long time no see it here.
A nice video by Sorin Rossman , don't get me wrong I'm just talking about the field
Remember that you have your own Discord server where you can get schematics. ;)
lmao..hey piernov, you do great on discord as well...thanks!
and for free :D
lol piernov is here
lol thought the same thing...wtf no time!??

even with schematics human error happen … you checked R7022 instead of R7020 and surprisingly you still found the problem … LoL
thank you Mr.
lol first time i saw you protect body laptop with cloth..

Why does some one always thumb down every youtube video so stupid. thanks for sharing Sorin another interesting video :):)

What voltage would a working double diode show? 5volts?
Bravo Sorine! Esti nemaipomenit! La toate le dai de cap!😎unde te pot gasi sau contacta?multumesc si spor in continuare.esti no1.

turn the board 180 degrees and put the other diode from the other side.
Thank u very mutch , very nice jop what u doe. I lear to mutch from u.
nice video
Thought perhaps it was the CD3215 chips for the USB
Nice Desktop.
Somewhere in New York City, Louis tosses fitfully in his sleep sensing a disturbance in the force.
"It is never the fuse " ;)
We never got to hear what was for lunch sorin?
How was the Chinese? :)
Nice to see some schematics ☢️
When Apple uses poor quality components, who can we trust for quality? This is just sad. Great fault finding Sorin. Well done.
oh thank sir
Hi sir 👍
sorin, can you please start live streaming from your shop?
I have a gaming laptop....I gave it to some service center but they can't repair my dead laptop...How can i send it to you?
Where can I find a Sorin's workshop address?
Easy one. Next please :)
Clear NVRAM
Which model of board?
820-****
ähm??..why u dint put the 2 new diods together in 45 degree...one big solder connection on top and press the back a little bit outside!! Like a upside down A
Why only 360p Sorin? Or is that RUclipss algorithm?
Kenny Dorman it’s a 1h vid. Just wait a little bit.
@@Todestelzer that is kinda what I had figured. Thanks
RUclips spits out a low quality version first while the HD is being processed.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Maybe you sould buy the schematics sofware from Paul Daniels like Louis Rossmann...
No! Working without schematics is another level, please keep it like that! Sorin, your level is so much advanced than Louis Rossmann! You rule man!
@@nunofelicio In these case, nos schematics, no repair...!
Louis didn't bought it. He got it for free. I hope pldaniels will send him the enhanced version. But i doubt he will.

CrApple Crapbook are made in China with chinese components. They build a 300 dollars laptop and sell it for 1600 dollars.
I seriously doubt the material even cost 100 dollars.
