Thank youu bro :) Is not the RAM slot, the logicboard is damaged somewhere between the board layers, the slot is fine. I can try repair but the chance to fully ruin the board are pretty big
Love watching you restore old apple products. You are a very detail and careful kind of person. I hope this is not your last restoration video for apple products. Anyway, love the macbook color.
Like the rest of your projects, this one is simply amazing! I'm happy to see other people who are really into restoring old devices and breathing life into them once again.
Watched the whole video just like I do with rest of your uploads. Really enjoyed it. It's refreshing, delighting, resourceful, many things to learn from it and so on. I hope you are having a really nice time with your closed ones. I hope that your family is doing good too. Best wishes. Have a great day brother. 😊
Thank youu :) I agree, nowadays computers become less upgradable and harder to repair and hard if you want to backup your data from a dead laptop. But the price is going up and up and the quality less and less
I'm impressed. I'm not very skilled, but regardless, I'm always fascinated when old tech and gadgets can be restored. In a world today where we are dealing with inflation and cost of living is getting more expensive, repurposing and bringing back old tech to life can be very essential, saves money, and being environmentally friendly. Have you ever thought of putting a Linux distro in the MacBook Pro? As for the iPhones, if you don't intend to use them as phones, you may be able to use them for something else. Some examples: - USB storage - Alarm clock - Dash camera (though be warned, when exposed under the sun, the phone will not work because it will overheat. Need to figure out a way to shield it) - Web camera (if the web cam on the laptop has bad quality, or doesn't work) - still and video camera - e-reader - mp3 player/iPod - voice recorder Anyways, great video. Great fixes.
Hi Andrew long time fan here, I have a idea that you coud do A tour of your room/studio like: show your gear that you use to film (camera,editing softwers,etc) or just how it looks when you work on project :D BTW your paint jobs are one of the best I seen :O
Sir, I am a solid big fan of yours... I started watching your videos 4 years ago I remember the first video I watch is the Hp laptop wrap with red and black carbon vinyl... I was so amazed by the results since then I started following you and watching your videos. I also learned how to repair my own 2012 NEC laptop because of your videos... unfortunately last month my laptop broke down, I tried the basic troubleshooting I find and those didn't work. I don't have any money to send it to a technician considering that I'm still a student😢... I really need it for my school research. Sir, I humbly ask from your kind heart for any spare laptop that you have I'm willing to accept it. Thank you so much may my wish may come true.
Andrew I have been following you faithfully for such a long time. You are absolutely creative and you always think outside the box. It would be fantastic to see you repair, upgrade and mod a Dell Latitude 4310. Really hoping you can do it.
Thank youu bro :) I late with videos because I want to truly repair something and be functional in future, not just to make just video for views and then threw it away
i have the same macbook pro andrew and i got an ifit kit as the thermal paste was from 2012. i did break the small clip holding the keyboard backlight, but if that is all that broke and it all runs great still then i can't complain for the first try at it.......plus it was free and in like new condition. like you i used oclp to get the latest ventura on it and works like a champ.
i love what you did to the macbook pro, I have the same macbook, but how can I install MacOS Ventura while I have still High Sierra and I want to upgrade to Ventura. Thanks
Love this video since its on Apple (I found your channel a long time ago when you did Hackintosh content). You should've covered the Apple logo with the purple vinyl though to make everything match since you went as far as making the screws on the bottom match lol.
There are a couple videos out there installing a plastic card under the RAM slot to fix the issue. It didn’t work on my 2011 model but you should give it a try!
Nice stuff, glad to see these devices all in function again! Shame about the MacBook only being able to use 1 RAM now but at least 8GB sticks are supported on these older machines! Also how did you get Ventura on this system? As I have a couple of 2010s (including a Macbook in white plastic - so not the Pro version) that I want to keep going for as long as I can, and 10.13 already dropped support for Chrome/Firefox etc. Lastly - always use Macs Fan Control on these as they tend to run quite hot. I aim for a maximum 70'C on mine.
Hey Andrew, I used to thought u had a cat before u joined the tech community and your channel was all about ur cat and u that's why u got the name. Anyways I learnt recently that cat stands for "computer and technology". So it's kinda funny story to share with you. BTW if you really have a cat we would be more than happy if you share some moments of u two with us❤️❤️
That's my solution for a 'magnetic screwdriver'. It torments me that people think they need to buy a magnetic screwdriver, when they probably possess a screwdriver and a magnet already.
Have a great day sir, thank you so much .. i have a question about my lenovo 80TH model. can i upgrade the Proccessor i5 to i7? which i7 i can use. also EGPU i want to use, which is the EGPU compatible to my laptop? thank you so much.
Yes sir same issue with the laptop it's my friend laptop and I watch all your all videos very deep I hope I can fix this but I love all your videos it's very inspiration and really a dedication of your Work.Thanks Sir
that macbook paint job looks so good!
Thank you bro :D
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew WHERE I CAN FIND HOW TO USE AND PAINT LIKE YOUR PC ?
The best part in fact 😊😊
Never fails to amaze me! That Mac looks great. Maybe you can remove the broken ram slot and solder a new or used working ram slot.
Thank youu bro :) Is not the RAM slot, the logicboard is damaged somewhere between the board layers, the slot is fine. I can try repair but the chance to fully ruin the board are pretty big
the mac looks like a midnight color m2 macbook air at first glance lol
Love watching you restore old apple products. You are a very detail and careful kind of person. I hope this is not your last restoration video for apple products. Anyway, love the macbook color.
Thank youu bro :)
Beautiful restorations!
Like the rest of your projects, this one is simply amazing! I'm happy to see other people who are really into restoring old devices and breathing life into them once again.
Your best restoration yet! Good job!
Andrew, don't forget to keep using great songs as soundtracks! Thanks for showing us your repair passion.
Amazing!!! You are a magician with this stuff. That macbook fix makes me want to find a trashed one and give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
This is the best restoration channel on youtube. I just like how you take the time to do everything properly.
Watched the whole video just like I do with rest of your uploads. Really enjoyed it. It's refreshing, delighting, resourceful, many things to learn from it and so on. I hope you are having a really nice time with your closed ones. I hope that your family is doing good too. Best wishes. Have a great day brother. 😊
That Macbook paint job looks amazing! Great job Andrew!
Impressive as always, great job.
Macbook pro is dope!!! Love watching you restore old techs and keep them from being an e-waste.. Great Job as always Andrew :)
Great work! The 2012 MBP will be my last one because I don't want soldered on RAM or especially the soldered SSD chips on the latest ones.
Thank youu :) I agree, nowadays computers become less upgradable and harder to repair and hard if you want to backup your data from a dead laptop. But the price is going up and up and the quality less and less
Sad but true. 😟
I like how you use the Neodymium Magnet on the side of the screwdriver shaft to make it magnetic. Good call! :)
Old school :) one magnet turns all screwdrivers into magnetic
Andrew you are great from 2 to 3 years I am watching your video I have got so much knowledge and Ideas how to make a trash like new and useful 😊

Expert service , expert finishing ...

You have no idea how long i've been waiting to see your videos
Thank youu bro :) I late with videos because I want to truly repair something and be functional in future, not just to make just video for views and then threw it away
The colour combination on the MacBook is amazing!!
Thank youuu bro :)
I have the same i phones the 5c in blue and the 4 in black
for some reason I love watching these videos.
Where did you get the glass polish?
like the paint job on the macbook
Nice. All videos restorations make me relax ❤❤❤
Not gonna lie, this repair is really great, and looks a bit brand new 😅
very nice! that macbook looks stunning bro!
I'm learning how to disassemble, assemble and restore gadgets from your videos. Thank you! ❤ from 🇵🇭
Absolutely love what you did to the iPhones! Makes me wanna restore my old 5S.
I appreciate that old techs are still restored 🎉🎉
Great job. Especially for the MacBook pro.
you're a master of restoration
i have the same macbook pro andrew and i got an ifit kit as the thermal paste was from 2012. i did break the small clip holding the keyboard backlight, but if that is all that broke and it all runs great still then i can't complain for the first try at it.......plus it was free and in like new condition. like you i used oclp to get the latest ventura on it and works like a champ.
When I start learning repairs I break many things as well :D mistakes are happening when you work something, that's normal
amazing... the best content in youtube
That customer give you all free is very good and nice restore back
woah that black housing + purple accents looks fire
Great work, mr. Andrew
i love what you did to the macbook pro, I have the same macbook,
but how can I install MacOS Ventura while I have still High Sierra and
I want to upgrade to Ventura. Thanks
You can make dual boot. There are many guides on RUclips, but before doing something make a full backup
135 on this model, in some bigger ones like 17 inch ones, there is 165 screws plus rivets if i remember correctly
Always a great job 😍, thanks for your great videos 👍👍👍
Nice restoration!
thanks for the video.
thank you andrew
That macbook looks SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
that macbook came out so sick!
WOW,big-great job!👌
Back when Apple devices were repairable and upgradeable, the memories
How did you create a boot disk for the mac?
I also have an old model (2009) and I couldn't find a working boot disk.
Love this video since its on Apple (I found your channel a long time ago when you did Hackintosh content).
You should've covered the Apple logo with the purple vinyl though to make everything match since you went as far as making the screws on the bottom match lol.
Well saved!👍👍
Fantastic job mate, a top restoration that i reskon Apple would be proud of 👍🏾
This guy is artistic as Raphael, even a bit better
Thank youu bro :D
Andrew bro just love u
that mac looks like the new m2 model nice job
And finally, all devices are back in function again ❤
There are a couple videos out there installing a plastic card under the RAM slot to fix the issue. It didn’t work on my 2011 model but you should give it a try!
Nice stuff, glad to see these devices all in function again! Shame about the MacBook only being able to use 1 RAM now but at least 8GB sticks are supported on these older machines!

Lastly - always use Macs Fan Control on these as they tend to run quite hot. I aim for a maximum 70'C on mine.
Ventura can be installed with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
I have Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012 & iPad Mini but unused
We want to see more custom game console restoration videos.
I will do soon, I'm waiting for some consoles
The paint job looks sick also those devices can pass as like-new not like before you refurbished it
Macbook pro came out awesome !!!
Thank youu bro :D
Amazing work man.
Hey Andrew, I used to thought u had a cat before u joined the tech community and your channel was all about ur cat and u that's why u got the name.

Excellent 👍
Impressive as allways :)
Thank you bro :)
Amanzing job man !
Very nice job 👌 💪
That's my solution for a 'magnetic screwdriver'. It torments me that people think they need to buy a magnetic screwdriver, when they probably possess a screwdriver and a magnet already.
I agree bro, one magnet is just universal for almost all screw drivers and as well cheap and easy to find
Another job well done :)
clean fix master 😊
I remember how phones is now at the advantage. However, since 3G discontinued, it could be an e-waste.
Keep continuing, Andrew.
I love your video
Incredible 🤙🤙🤙
Beautifulll job men!
Wow the laptop is incredible
Have a great day sir, thank you so much .. i have a question about my lenovo 80TH model. can i upgrade the Proccessor i5 to i7? which i7 i can use. also EGPU i want to use, which is the EGPU compatible to my laptop? thank you so much.
You did a special edition macbook pro (Dark theme)
NICE WORK!!
U are a genius, I'd like to wonder if U can repair a totally broken ( crushed ) laptop
Awesome😮
Thank youu bro :)
I want to learn your style of spray painting them make a long video how can i learn
Love from India bro
Damn that MacBook is nice
You are great
Thank youu bro :)
very impressive , how long does it take to make a video likethis ?
Just a tip: unplug the battery before unplugging any of the other parts. I killed an iPhone 3GS and a 6 by not doing that
Purple apple logo would have looked so slick too😂
Hey andrew where do u live rn?
Can I also get those products as well even if there broking
Andrew, you have inspired me to do a project. I just ordered the first laptop that I owned and I am going to see if I can restore it.
Not hard to repair or restore, just take time and no rushing, nowadays guide to repair or disassemble or setup something are widely available
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Thanks and again I really enjoy your channel as you give new life to things.
amazing
Great video
Thank youu bro :)
I am waiting for any Lenovo Thinkpad t440p or r460 hindge broken or broken body repaireable
I got one lenovo but I think is 530, but has keyboard, display and hinge problems
Yes sir same issue with the laptop it's my friend laptop and I watch all your all videos very deep I hope I can fix this but I love all your videos it's very inspiration and really a dedication of your Work.Thanks Sir
=)) If you were to add few drops of gold with that purple would be a marvelous color.
This is good idea, but for gold drops I have better purple vinyl, royal purple with very unusual shades, always looks different under different light
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Looking forward to a build with those colors Andrew.
Amazing
AMAZING
👍👌
❤❤
