I've been fixing issues inside these screens. Water still gets inside them and I try to save the customers some money (else Iose the sale all together), so go above and beyond to get that thing going. No schematics, but see bad, replace bad works, or a good old 'tink'
You make me proud, Tony Tone. You make me proud.

Shoutout to Louis Rossman stay safe sir, and god bless you!
Louis: Refurbishes Screen
Other Repair Shops: Replace Screen
Apple: Replaces the Whole Macbook
A John Deer dealer would fix it and they would,'t install TikTok on it.
@Robin Nilsson
Smartass. LOL
Australia: Installs screen upside down.
Apple: replace Whole Macbook including ssd, so even customer data is âfreshâ.
They also replace your wallet contents with empty space too.
Love the video. Certainly not a $5 fix and shouldn't be looked as a $5 fix. Give this to someone who knows nothing about computers, you won't get a repair and will have to buy a new one ($1000+). The repair that you do is earned. Knowledge and hard work to get you to that point. That is why your time is valuable and deserves the respect of being well paid for doing what you do. Good job. Good video.
Wait.... the shakey camera mount.... this is an oldie
Louis, I am in awe of your diagnostic, repair, and micro-soldering skills. You never fail to impress me. Best wishes in your new location. Stay safe.
Hmm, this must be an old video, the light has been changed weeks ago, but still, cool stuff Louis :)
I have been using some of your videos to teach people in our small assembly workshop on the Laos / Vietnam tnamese border how to work with SMD PCBs on equipment we manufacture.
Great training materials.
Absolutely love these videos. I've never seen batteries that bad before. Did you reconnect them?
Louis, I have poked my puffy battery with tweezers - You said I can do it in my house. Now it is dark here and I can barely see it 'cause my glasses are covered with carbon now. And my tweezers tips melted. And that smell in my house...
Battery is relatively easy to replace, just buy a new one. You can't refurbish a swell battery. Be safe bro.
poking it does nothing. it doesn't pop or explode or expel gas....it just swells due to the warping of the layers inside. I believe Jessa proved that in a video on her channel.
@@frankxu2321 Alex was joking.
@@googleplusisdead Yeah, thanks. I was.
I watched that video you made where you were talking about how mail-in has taken over. To be honest, if things keep going the way they are, the post office is not going to be able to keep up.
GOD! I didnt even know i could have a seizure! Thanks Louis
Just got my computer back from you guys today works great, thanks Louis!!!
Me trying to sleep
Louis at 1 am: oh boy let's kill the corona
No Beer virus for Louis
Did you replace the battery?
I should be sleeping right now
BG Tech same, but I wanted to watch this work of art
Thanks for the likes!
Iâm a kid and I found a broken computer out to the road and I brought it home and fixed it! Please check it out czcams.com/video/DoLgzF_CpYQ/video.html
yup same, i got work in 5 hours
Thereâs something therapeutic about these videos.
now i understand why i suck at soldering a flimsy pinned old 486 cpu, because it is harder than it looks, i feel with you mr rossmann (dragging will solder all pins together and they are super thin and break and bend easy)
Does that bloated battery bring back unsettling Bafang battery debacle memories??? đŹ
I still have the Thinkpad laptop I took to college in 2006... It got dropped a few times, took a vodka and coolaide bath, a beer bath and later sat lost under my couch being coated in dog hair... I turned it on the other day to retrieve some pictures... Still works although it now only works with wall power.
You just turned that Macbook screen into a PC screen. Next step: install Tiktok.
7:28 Looking at the state of this machine I would say it is already high time to buy an HP (or so)
You are a master, sir. Love your videos.
You can pull the webcam cable, you just have to peel up the adhesive first, then wiggle it side to side. Don't pull straight back. I've done it on hundreds no problem, but the method pushing the tabs a little at a time is safer.
"Macbook's often have covid all over them" Cracked me up. Thanks Louis now I can't seriously watch your video anymore...
For that webcam cable, I've always just used my tweezers with one point on either side and just push.
Edit: Just to note, the tweezers I use are bent, not straight, which makes this easy to do.
what are the odds that i just received a similar case in my shop, only this time arround the lvds cable is also melted, customer tried to 'clean' the screen and BL died
Hi Louis! Could you give us an update on the lawsuit between Henrik Huseby and Apple?
I stopped caring about that after realizing i had been bs'd all along. Check out

Just reminded me that you helped me fix a MacBook Pro 2011 I think. Lol. Video about the power indicator.
Wait, why is your overhead wobbly again?? Flickering light? How old is this VOD? lmao
Me: Louis already unhappy with new light - pump more power to it. Wobbly camera - broke leg of stand somehow and attached it to table because it can't stand on it's own anymore... On screen PSA - this just old video.
I love how in every recent video, he makes sure to remove the coronavirus from the laptop. This man gets it.
Louis Rossmann ... The Surgeon, Apple does not deserve!
Louis - you need to take time to really clean your iron tip. Its actually polluting the contacts. That is part of the problem you were having in this video. Also, after you cleaned everything well you probably didn't need any flux, or nearly as much. General rule is clean tip once, solder once, repeat. Also, are you using 63/37 eutectic solder? (ref. 11 years as a certified micro soldering and board repair instructor)
My MBP retina has a single vertical line on the Center. Any fix?
LCD connector is inside a new macbook, therefore you need to buy a new macbook from apple to get it
Just another excuse for Apple to extort their customers and sqeeze as much money as they can from them
@23:33 When Seinfeld turns on his phone every day. đ #djrtnyc #applelogo
Why didn't you tin the pads with fresh solder after wicking all the old solder off? Is that why the pins were giving you trouble?
Very smart Louis. Lets go on with our business. Thank you!
Your prices are excellent! However... needing a $4 part and postage to Oz is $108 dollars... damn...
So you just replaced the connector and cable? but what caused the problem in the first place? I guess the cable had a short in its wires?
You COUNTERFEIT the screen! OMG!
/s
Why would something like that happen to the connector in the first place?
Knock off charger? Or Just old electronics going past their life cycle.
ey Louis, were the 13" A1278 the ones having issues with the hdd cable ? if so, all of them were rubbish, both the i5 and the i7 ? any of those worth buying?
I wonder if this customer goes around with tape on their phone too
Guys, I have no other place to ask (tried all the forums), *help me please. I've got the same 2015 2.8ghz M370X Macbook. It's cooling is inadequate, with Intel iGPU it runs reasonable, *when AMD one is used fans kick in to 60-100% even when I simply watch YT video despite temps are around 65-70C. The noise is horrendous!* Any load triggers them and they don't stop until it's 50C. What da heck is that nasty behaviour? Is this how all of them do or not?
2010 MBPs screen was easy to replace, even the matte version, i was so scared of heating up the frame which is glued to the display part.
Would it not be possible to put some solder on the pads and the pins beforehand and then just give them a little heat when you put on the connector?
Or if you like to use a laptop outdoors: Just make the back of the screen transparent, so the sun becomes the "backlight" ;)
That's briljant. It will significantly improve the battery life as wellđđ
Why not to use the BGA solder paste for the connector?
LithiumPolymer batteries + Fast charger = Airbags. Every time.
Countless times I saw this on laptops.
Did you ever need to replace a back-light fuse?
Wow !! Soldering that Screen connector was painful ---
is that the cable that wears down and cause the stage lightening effect? are you going to mention it would be best to replace the battery before it blows? :x
8:11 That's what she said. (yes, i'm a child)
I'm a grown man and I thought that. lmao
cmon lois you forgot to say " Die Corona" :(
8:06 that's what she said
I have no idea so -can someone tell me why it has so many pins ? Whats the benefit for ? TIA
I read the title as 'Refused' a screen because it was dead.... And i was like, i thought thats your thing, making dead computers live.... The Frankenstein of the Tech world đ
I thought I could smell the fumes watching your video but then I realised my tb3 port shorted.
Brilliant as usual
Hello Louis, thanks a lot for yours tutorials;) I have a question from italy ... I have two damaged macbook. 1) macbook pro 15 retina A1398 mid 2012 with display ok but graphic card problems, many times no works boot and has graphics errors ... 2) macbook pro 15 retina A1398 late 2013 with display cracked but it works well with an external monitor. Can I use the monitor mount of A1398 mid 2012 into A1398 late 2013? (obviously the Isight webcam can't works for connectors difference 6 pin and 12 pin, and I can change the block of BT and Wifi antennas ... but if monitor works i can try this crazy mod;) thanks
Don't act like we didn't see that video of you zooming down the streets for 37 minutes talking to yourself past curfew

why clean the pads from flux just to put flux on again? I guess you could say that it would be lightly cleaner, but till doesn't seem worth it even considering how cheap flux and alcohol is (although _time_ is not so cheap). Also it's obviously not a new thing to say, but I swear that Louis uses _objectively_ too much flux; like sure it doesn't cost much, but it's just going to take extra time to clean, and more likely to have some get somewhere where it won't be cleaned, like gunking up the other side of a board.
Thought the flux was hot-glue for a sec and I was so scared and confused
If I bought an Apple product a day would that keep Corona Virus away?
It probably won't keep corona away, but it definitely would keep money away from your pockets
4:00 Is there just a random loose resistor on the fan? That's so unlike Apple, giving you a spare...
Making fun of a MacBook battery for being a little thicc. People these days.
I'm amazed that I survived
I have a mid 2015 macbookpro with a 15 inch retina display that has a cracked LCD. The crack goes across the screen after it had been delivered though I did purchase when it had it at the upper left side of the screen. How much would charge me to fox it?
What is the liquid being used here?
So if you fix the back light, does that mean they can go back to Apple and qualify for a battery change? Doesn't that mean they come right back to you afterwards because Apple fcuked something else up in the process?
Louis, could you pre tin the connector or snap the pins off the motherboard one?
thank you M.r
For folk that have that model, how much is a replacement battery set??
Substance at 9:28 ? No experience at all with laptop repair... Girlfriends had a water damaged backlight (screen still works) mac laptop for years and replacing it would be 900 dollars so obviously gonna try and do it myself.
Nice work đ€đ
I have a feeling that the customer wouldn't care if you broke the webcam cable. I feel the same way.
Man i think my macbook 15 a1398 has the same problem, âč already replaced the cable and still nothing, is all black, please help.

I'm fixing a couple of a1429 iPhone 5's at the moment both need new screens and I gotta say working with iPhones is a real pain in the ass they really weren't made to be fixed I like samsung in that regard all parts are easy to replace
Is that still the case? I thought that ship sailed when they started making curved screens and almost entirely encasing the phone in glass.
Also, sadly, their earbuds are pretty much throw away. Apparently its really hard to open them up without destroying them, which sucks when you need to replace the batteries. I rather expect earphone/buds to last longer than even a phone, and I expect a phone to last longer than 2 years.
What do you think is a good notebook, repairwise?
Louis, no need to wear the mask when at your own workshop (unless other workers are present). As for flux - Do you have a good ( and cheap) source? Greetings from Amsterdam Netherland Ś©ŚŚȘ Ś©ŚŚŚ.
Something tells me the mask was more for solder fumes?
@@psilynt1 If I'm not wrong he has for that a ventilator.
I the screen cable on the a1278 replaceable as well?
honestly i have no idea whats going on here but its interesting to watch when getting blazed. XD
how much do you guys charge for something like this?
Hey, just on this thing, wait, WTF did you do !!, No soldering wire use at 13:16 am a noob but whaaaaat !!!

If not a Mac, what computer would you recommend for a programmer?
I am not attached to the computer itself, but really like the OS for programming.
It really depends on what kind of software development you do. I might be fine on Windows using VSCode for website development and Android Studio for my android apps. Some would prefer Vim for pretty much any kind of software development on Linux. It just depends on what are you aiming to develop and what you think would be the most productive to you.
Annoying as hell to get 2 notifications in 2 hours
Please tell me those batteries are not supposed to look like that. They look about ready to explode.
JinzoDefiler - Instead of buying a macbook, run MacOS in a virtual machine on a Windows (or better yet, Linux) computer.

HELLO DEAR LOUIS... IS YOUR STORE OK DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN?...

What's that white gooish thing you applied on the connector before soldering it?
Amtec Flux
This is like a Mac Repair Rave without the shitty music.
That screen connector, should've just used hot glue, that would've done the job as well right? ;D
Hey Louis, I have never have MacBook or any apple producs but I have a MSI laptop and it died after 2 years. It is working for like 20min then instant shutdown. In same time chargers power light went off. Charger power light powered up after few seconds and I can start laptop again. After few min (10-15 min) it instantly shutdown again. Same thing over and over but shorter time period every time. After few try laptop shutdown itself before windows logo appear. Do you know what should cause it? Thanks.
Overheating? Bad charger and battery misreporting charge state?
@@CJonestheSteam72 There is no overheating. I used to use that laptop whole day with heavy load. I bought new charger but same thing happend. Removing batter doesn't change anything. But I forgot to say something. If I wait like 1-2 hours then laptop can work 20min. If I continue to use it after shutdown time priod getting shorter and shorter.
Where did the manhattan video go?
Airbags? Fkn what?
