That's one hell of a job! I have on my workbench the same MacBook and not turning on, although voltages are fine. Will check it on Monday. Thumbs up, man!
honestly I watch every of your video in my free time and that is the best spent time ever
What a brilliant solution, I've just fixed my MBP this way using a piece of copperwire from an old transformer because it's very thin and has excellent insulation. This fix is quicker than replacing the keyboard.
Really good video. Your electronic skills are awesome. You are able to fix any kind of problems. Thanks. I learned a lot about electronics since I start watching your tutorials.
i used one strand from faulty display cable of laptop to loop .God bless you for always share ring. generous man you are
I'm glad the Hot Glue Hero used his secret weapon at the end! : ) Nice repair, Sorin!
Firstly thank you for the Video. You make some great content. I had almost the same problem except mine had a bad ground (middle point) the Black flex was good. So I did the reverse I took the silver flex off the button and put the black flex back on the the button and screwed it back in place and now it has chassis ground to work with and boom On and Off work perfectly. Thank you!
You are like a surgeon doing a heart bypass operation. Thank you for the video.
Indeed it's the easy way and the best........Keep em coming Sorin.....
My gosh! Sorin you are a brilliant PC Doctor...i have a similar issue with my Macbook Pro will try your step by step method.
Gracias!!! fue de mucha ayuda colega, Saludos desde Lima-Perú :)
i fixed mine using this method!! Thank you so much!
Heeeyyyy- THANK YOU! I did as you did, and it WORKS! Probably not as beautiful as yours, I had a much thicker wire, so the power button is a bit stiff, but still, it works, and thats good enough for me!

Did you repair as well?
Really good video and your electronic skills . I did fixed my MacBook pro through your tutorials ,Sir I may God bless you.
Love the button...it's a great compliment.
I like your work very understanding thanks alot
Here, the keyboard replacement is cheap. Around 15 dolars. I'd rather replace it than exposing the motherboard kb connector to any sort of soldering. But great job. You're a monster.
Practical solution big thumb up
Great job and fun to watch. Wondered what size and type of wire you used?
Great show
Hi sir. I'm learning a lot from you. I have a question on macbook that automatically turns on when plugging the charger, without pressing power button.
Thank you.
ty for video, time is running faster in train :)
Tank you for this video 👍
Dead power buttons are incredibly common on these macbooks. I now have 2 both with this issue and have watched this video several times. I feel fairly confident watching this I could do the actual physical repair. The difficult part for me is understanding the multimeter and what all those numbers mean. Its very likely that without having that knowledge I could run the wire, do the soldering etc and yet have totally misjudged the issue based on a lack of understand the multimeter values, what they mean, and what I am looking for.
Do you have any videos on the multimeter and how I might learn? I am in the US and I need to do this fix.
Greate Teaching Sir.
Thank you, Sorin! Just made the same repair. MacBook Pro A1278 820-2879B. Working fine.
Fred Buth u r welcome :)
You are really Hot Glue Hero ... anyway that badge is a nice present from a subscriber.
Nice badge! So you ARE a Hot Glue Hero :D
good job!... a little late, but, you forgot to clean the flux with isoprophyl alcohol, that can cause trouble in the future. Thanks for sharing
thanks it worked for me
hi I just found your videos on youtube and for me they are must better than a movie with bruce willis
I love Bruce Willis Movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway first I have to apologize for my poor english
I'am french and live in south near Bordeaux.
I try doing like you on a macbook power button Kapout
and now that is funny the laptop start by it self I probably made a big mistake(fault)
maybe you can explain me what the problem is?
Anyway thank a lot for your videos
best Regards

I'd class this as a "temporary" fix rather than a *dodgy* one, it lasts as long as it lasts, if it fails, you just redo it the expensive way. Sometimes temporary fixes outlast the rest of the device. I had a calculator that lasted an extra 3 years which only worked with a Polo Mint (Lifesaver) wedged under the board. 3 years later calculators had gone from being expensive to cheap (I'm old enough to remember that).
Excellent job,, love the hot glue badge 😆😆👍
good job
Superbes vidéos
Nice one .
can you also get sorin flags and coffee mugs now ??? :)
Think you it works 100℅
Ha ha the button made my day 😂😂
hello I would like to know how to test smd transistor for short also how to tell its base emitter collector thanks
Man, you're awesome! Do you have any experience with Xiaomi laptops? Link me about your fee for a repair!
How did you on the laptop...n I see u remove the AC ..is it possible to plug in the AC n den plug in the battery?
Hi mate, I opened my mbp mid 2012 15 inch (non retina version) for SSD upgrade. But after opening and reassembling, everything fine.
But macbook gets started up, when I plug in mag safe. So its technically short circuiting the power switch I believe.
Can you advise how I can proceed?
Every video you do like this, if 100 people copy the solution that's 100 motherboards, aluminium chassis, LCD's worth of E-waste saved from landfill.
(lets not kid ourselves electronics recycling standards by apple is atrocious level of efficiency).
sir sorin please a video about how we use powersupply to identify the component schorted to ground 5mn is enough and thnks
abdallah abdoul you have to understand how the internal power of a device is working before you can use a external voltage supply to find shorts. He is doing his job for 20-30years now and now the circuits.
At least you should now how boost/buck converters and mosfets are operating.
thanks
The pin is pretty funny... can only be followed now by a personalized shirt, or hat that says "Dodgy". ô¿ô
Great video, button works... and didn't cost the guy and arm and leg. That's what counts... well done!
Where’s the elusive apple cloth Sorin? It only normally graces the workbench when An Apple product comes near is it ok ? 😂😂😂
I have the same non working power button, however I can't even turn the machine on by shorting pin 5 to ground. it turns on when I plug the MagSafe charger in due to the auto Power on feature, however I can't turn it off by the power button either. I have also tried the power pads which do not turn it on so I don't believe a new keyboard would work either. Any ideas as to the reason?
So what was the reason why the circuit has increased resistance? Is it manufacturing problem?

What is your Tester?
great help 5 star
Does anyone know whether the motherboards from the 13" Macbook Pros 2009-2012 are interchangeable? Thanks.
All 13" A1278 models can be changed with each other.
all pre-retina MacBook Pro use all screws on their keyboard. only Retina and Air use rivets.
possible you have right
Hot glue hero ha ha, the sender has a great sense of humor :-D :-D
Mixing keyboards and power buttons does not sound too clever, apple should know better.
now everyon's doing the same stupidity, my laptop failed in the first month but due to lockdown ... no service ... i had to open and disconnect the keyboard to use external keyboard its an Acer Aspire with integrated power button
Hot glue hero ! 👍
Thank you, your method worked perfectly for me. A1278
Its the easy way ???
Idid try it but its not easy iT looks easy but iT is not Nice one thanks
There is nothing soldered in the MacBook Pro's (Pre Retina) keyboard, it is all very tiny screws (I've just replaced the keyboard in 2 MBPs). I guess you are confusing the MBP keyboard with other models that have rivets instead of screws (the Retina MBP & MB Air maybe?). That being said, I think your repair really makes sense because of the poor quality of replacement keyboards. It would have been a shame to replace everything only to fix the power button.
Once you asked how to fix the battery .I'm sending a link ,
and thank you for everything you've learned me :)

macbook pro 2016 no power. how to troubleshoot switch
Crap, Dog jumped on my bed knocking over my Soda, Saved the delete key.....Not so lucky with the Touch ID button.
LOL ! Hot Glue Hero!
i lost my macbook pro trying this
The problem change keyboard no wire etc
Haha mr. Super hot glue is at it again... What would louis think about this ?
More hot glue haha..
okay
This is not dodgy! The entire construction is dodgy from factory they could very well designed that computer in a better way, never liked Apple never will...
Why not just replace the switch?
Because that would be too proper. 😅
MacBook surgery.
you are just too much, no one can do what you do without wiring diagrams
Time spent doing all this I would have had the motherboard out and the hundred little keyboard screws in and out already. How can someone just spend so much time trying to find the power button pin? Does he not know Louis rossman has the schematics and so do hundreds of other people? Amazing waste of time to do a nasty repair. Should replace the keyboard properly!!!
