    Oh man I replaced a m1 macbook air screen at my shop recently for a customer and the repair went smoothly and worked perfectly. 3 weeks later customer comes back with a broken lcd trying to claim it as a warrenty fault. Suffice to say there was a lengthy heated discussion trying to explain to them warranty is not insurance and that they have to pay for a new screen again which we offered a 10% discount being nice and ofcourse they still left quite angry.

    Hey guys I have a really stupid question, How come you guys don't do Board Repair / Soldering Repairs on Macs or other laptops ? Could've had the greatest solderer that's ever lived award too

    • @SalemTechsperts
      @SalemTechsperts  Před 28 dny +28

      Not a stupid question. There's only one of me. I am "you guys". Lupe is just a friend that hangs out. If I were to offer those services I wouldn't have time to offer any other service. That's why shops that do board repair either have a dedicated person to do it (which I can't afford to pay), or that's the ONLY service they offer. I enjoy being able to offer different repairs for different devices, not just working on motherboards all day. Combine this with the fact Right to Repair will never be a thing, so schematics and reliable replacement parts will always be a challenge to find. For MacBook's it made sense up until Apple put the nail in the coffin with IC restrictions and pairing, but with thousands of different models of other laptops, it's simply too much of a hassle imo.

    This is making me want to do a bit of refurbishment on my 2008 MacBook.. needs a new fan, probably could use repasting and dust cleaning, maybe a RAM upgrade... but at least it does have an SSD installed in the last couple years before I replaced it with an HP because a Core 2 Duo is slow as balls now.
    But the thought of that makes me remember when I replaced the keyboard on it and those are not happy thoughts and it's missing a few screws afterwards.
