I haven't seen a board repair in ages. It's like watching Bob Ross paint.
H... He uploaded like 3 this week.... (Not including this one)
@Kryštof Píštěk I thought he meant he hadn't seen one posted
@Kryštof PíštěkYeah, it really is
Louis ROSSmann: Electronic's Bob Ross.
@@wsketchy Yes, I meant literally, me personally have not seen a logic repair in ages.
When Louis went off on that "I hear a sound of fan spin", I almost spit Cherry Coke into my mid-2012 15" retina MBP. That's one way to drive business I guess.
Possible reasons for thermal cam causing internet disconnect is IP address conflict. The cam probably has the same IP as your router / modem
You would also be amazed at what devices can do putting noise down the neutral/earth lines if there is a fault. XD
Oh, but more likely it is a protocol/ip/flood rate conflicts and stuff if it's only when he opens the software.
More likely thermal cam initially creates its own Wifi network and your computer connects to it. Hopefully this is only an initial connection deal and you can use the temp connection to the cam to connect it to your regular network. Presumably it does not create its own choice of IP address on your network, but uses DHCP.
@@Digital-Dan yeah, he needs a separate computer to connect to the thermal cam. It sounds similar to when I download photos from my Canon.
"I hear a sound of fan spin, I hear the sound of fan spin" 🤣🤣🤣 Love you man 😁 I've travelled half the world but never been to the States, I'm tempted to come to New York just to come to your store to say hi
I was in a best buy yesterday, and some poor sod was there with like a 2019 macbook air and the backlight had went out.
Geek squad said $600, and he said well shit, might as well get a new pc.
I told him about you, and he said he was looking into getting it fixxed, but he had to get a new one because there was a paper on it that was due within a week.
So he's going to keep it, and eventually get it repaired, so he'll have two MacBooks in the end.
It's just a damn shame we don't live near any reputable repair joints like you.
2019? Yeowch. No applecare?
@@mushi_k yeah.
Shows how to ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA. Regardless of it failed, its ALWAYS at the WORST TIME a device will fail.
BACK UP PSA
@@paisis123 yeah, damn shame it happens to some poor sod.
I hope everyone makes backups, Mac or not.
JP HACK thank you
I giggle everytime he says PPBUS
P E E P E E B U S
-I do the same
Watching your videos is really relaxing, you're like the Rob Ross of the electronics world except with a passive aggressive streak.
I love your board repair videos! Because of you I managed to buy myself soldering and electronic tools, after university. Your apple repair videos are one of the things I always look out for on youtube. I'm slowly trying to learn but through your videos I am able to explore this area of knowledge. Cheers Louis! Greetings from Poland.
Lois: were going to find out why this macbook isn't working
Me: it's gotta be PPbus g3_h
Lois: yes, there's a short on ppbus g3_h
You can be happy lois, because as always, I have learnt something 👍🏻
@@medmusic7977 dude,.. Chill.
@Sepz hey Peter, I punched Stewie in the sweet spot
The power of fan-spin compels you!
I hope you're having a good day Louis! I love watching your videos, I learn a lot from them. You are like a father figure to me.
As a welder I know the "owe!" Test well.
As an industrial mechanic I wonder what you're trying to test for
@@eccomi21 just joking about touching hot parts.
hi louis, just want you to know these videos are like lullabies when put on before sleep. Like a little child you don't know what all the words mean but it makes you fall asleep
Louis: "I'm a shill .. I'm a shameless shill!!"
Linus: "Hold my water bottle .. LTT Store dot Com!"
Idk why I'm watching this. I'm never going to have a MacBook, let alone try repair a broken one. Yet, here I am.
Aren't we all.
I bought a MacBook Pro only with the knowledge that I know who’s gonna fix it when it breaks
I just discovered your channel and I think it is the best thing on youtube. I wonder if it would be easier to get parts to fix Apple stuff in Europe because of some law defending consumers and right to repair that you may lack in the US, but at the same time I am aware about how much money and how long tentacles those companies have all around the world. Good luck.
Good evening Louis from small town called Rugeley in the UK
Where abouts?
Up north?
@@_Tp__ Possibly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugeley
In the Midlands 100 miles north of London 👍
I’m from the Forest of Dean near the welsh border. 👍
"You're not gonna get me using that amount of flux ever again. I'm done, I'm over it..."
† Louis Rossmann 2020
That "I hear a sound of fan spin" bit really triggered my anxiety.
Louis, you should do a dedicated video to talk about your wiki project, it's too important. This project kind of summarizes what your channel is and why you spent so much time and effort here.
Thanks for keeping up the great videos during these hard times louis 😁
I watch these like I know what you are talking about. It makes me feel smart. Thanks
For your thermal camera.
I dont know what settings you can change but you got to make sure if the camera gets a unique ip adress from your router / DHCP server.
Also you got to make sure if your camera has DHCP to and if it's turned off!
When there are 2 DHCP servers in the same network the network stops working.
Finally Repair video! Thanks Louis!
YOU ARE NOT AN ASSHOLE. really nice thing to have people like you are in this world :)
10:54 We're on it Louis
What's the wiki and google sheets urls?
@@jsalsman wiki2.rossmanngroup.com
I remember back in sophomore year of high school I think it was, I took a digital electron X class where we learned how to solder and all of that kind of stuff but I could never get a good grip on it. It probably has mostly to do with the fact that I have so little sight but at least I passed the class so that’s a good thing at least
Weller tweezers WMRT with RTW2 tip can do the job with capacitor. They a literally the best thing I had as a tweezers - they worked perfectly fine with tiny 0402 and with huge tantalum smd capacitors - all with the same tip.
When I did RMA diagnosis on internet switching boards we sometimes ran into "WTF" issues, where the software and multimeters were not finding the issue. The solution was to uninstall the removable memory and over-volt the board by about 50% and wait for the smoke to escape. About 80% of the time is was a data switching chip that had grown solder whiskers inside and it literally popped out of it's black casing. The rest of the time it was a BGA, and we put those suckers at the bottom of the solder tech's pile.
After hours of watching Louis I still have no idea what really goes on in these videos but I do still love watching them and falling asleep to Louis talking about his “pee pee bus G3 hot” etc
The reason the camera takes away ur internet is most likely an issue with it taking your computers IP address. Give your computer a different IP and try again :)
Could also be that the camera config is so bad that it doesn't know how to check for a DHCP server and just takes its IP from the closest device. Definitely in need of a better configuration.
If the camera isn't able to check for a DHCP server then he could set the IP of the camera to one outside the DHCP range so there's no risk of it being assigned to another device on the network.
At least it’s not his phone ringing that cuts off the internet. My wires were so old (still aluminium) the tiny change in voltage when the phone rang cause our broadband to cut out and the router reset. Yeah, we have aluminium up to the exchange, then fibre from there.
Such tiny soldering! I started working with Raspberry Pi Zero’s yo mod them and get more precise with my soldering. I think learning on a Pi will help other people hone their skills for future work.
i dont know a thing about pc repair,,but i watch these as ASMR i guess,,i enjoy these,,ty
She was only supposed to say it one time. Now, she shall not be allowed to enter the Rossman Group store. LOL
Louis, produce your own Hot air stations
simple as that
Yes of course. That's like saying "just buy a house" to a homeless person.
prof. ethernet Cams are GIG-E , the use sometimes special IP's and the software will change your network adapters IP when turned on (used to work at a fair park and knew this problem from the rideshoots). If you have 2 network adapters, use one for internet. Some tools may check if there is wifi or ethernet and use the ethernet port.
ATTEN are good, I’ve got their little USB integrated heater iron. Great for little projects.
Hello from England. Great to see these videos again. Hope to be able to help with the wiki.
Love your content and stand on the right to repair !!! Keep up the great work !
Love your macbook repair videos, not so much your others except for the videos describing your search for your new store !

Joining the club 🤷♂️
Not just soldering stations. USA made tools in general have been nose diving for a long time now. It's a damn shame too.
there are still lots of hand tools made in the US not so much in the way of power tools though. Alot of the hand tools you have to go to higher end tool stores and not just big box stores for.
Choosing whatever maximizes profits over whatever is the best product is a cornerstone of American capitalism.
@@joshuasargent991 well when it becomes cheaper to buy foreign made goods than it is to construct a well made good, what do you think will happen?
I was just made aware of this recently when seeing videos on Japans tools. Totally different level even on the basics
@Tom Geldon umm that's what I just said pal...that there are lots of hand tools made in the US still....
Ill add one tomorrow after work, your mission is important!
Ah, the ouchie test. Got that in my industry as well.
That wiki is gold
some simple IP enabled devices don't use DHCP properly... set it for static, all will be well.
"something in here is going to make me go "OW", lets see if we can find i..."OOWW!"-found it"
You released a wiki.... holy shit... I love it
Wow thank you so much for the wiki
I’m thinking about purchasing MacBooks at work because we use Macs at work. Watching your videos might be changing my mind on that purchase.
I love your channel Louis. I make scale models whilst listening to your board repairs. I fully back your right to repair movement- the Idea that a company that is menna be championing the environment whilst simultaneously making unupgradable, non 3rd party repairable machines that need to be replaced every couple of years is laughable.
Hello from Canada!
Quickly looking over the Customer experience wiki I think you might want to add photo's as standard to your customer database to document condition of the machines versus simple text report with a station setup on a shelf/take in or if individual cubbies take in machines then buy them Selfie Lights for each cubicle so they can shoot the w/cam/phone. I bookmarked your list of videos but I want to write a book in the next month so might not be able to do your videos. Sorry about that.
You know I've seen issues where when a ISP detects malicious software connecting to a relay server over your connection they'll just revoke internet access to that IP, now when this happens more than just the 1 machine loses internet but that's on personal networks not a business one, could it be the thermal camera software is connecting to a remote server for updates and your ISP just thinks it looks shady? 1 way to test is setup a VPN, start the thermal camera up and see what happens.
LOL, I decide to support American made by buying a PACE soldering station (ADS200). Its a very very nice station. I'd even go so far as to say its the best soldering station that I've used in the past 30 years of electronics repair and prototyping. BUT... Its just over a year old now, about 1-1/2 months past warranty, and the LED display has decided to fail intermittently, the station still works, but looking at the weird numbers or just some random LED segments lit, is very disappointing. Now instead of working on my electronics projects, I have to reverse engineer and then fix the American tools. I think I'd still recommend the PACE soldering station, hoping that others will have a better experience than I've had, and it does seem to be price competitive with the Hakko, especially the tips. Good luck and happy soldering. :-)
Comment for the algorythm :P
Hello from Saze, France !
About that camera, maybe you can try some generic IP Cam client, instead of the problematic one?
If it borks your net again you narrowed the cause to the Cam itself. If not you got a working solution.
Shill thyself! Thank you for the entertainment. I straight up watch this show just because you are funny.
Yes we can
Always enjoy these videos. Thank you!
MaN you are the bob Ross of electronics
the AWWW test sure is something new i learn today
Amazing Louis Thank you!
@ Luisrossmann I would check if it has created it's own virtual network adapter or if the app is putting your wifi card into exclusive mode
Great Idea, I will help!! I usually use one or two videos daily.
did the company that made the edson ever make a statement about the quality issues?
It would be interesting for you to do an update video to your "why I don't use apple products" video from 5 years ago
God, I love that PP Bus
about your network camera, make sure it has valid net mask and dhcp enabled or your static IP is in range and not taken, should be goo to check if gateway isn't pointing to pc or invalid ip >___>
The IR camera probably interferes with wifi on the same frequency ... as if you start a microwave oven between the wifi router and the computer, the internet goes down ... thanks for a lot of good clips.
If I had been unemployed, I would definitely spend time working on updating the wiki. Unfortunately, my work pace is so slow, so it would not fit into my current schedule, divided between going to work during office hours and spending some of my free time contributing on GitHub. The best of luck to all of you others for any form of contributing, that is one of the great things about the internet.
Would you be able to make a video with technical comments, like what you do, why, how do you know what to do, how you diagnose stuff etc. It'll be quite interesting.
I have 600+ of them, they have the lowest viewership of anything on this channel.
Louis Rossmann You just need a good thumbnail
@@rossmanngroup A lot of your board repair videos you get too into the weeds for most of us, and for me at least it causes me to skip many of them. I think what Jackal may be referring to is something more along the line of "board repair for babies"--either a series of videos or maybe even just throwing in more context in why particular problems you encounter would lead you to resolving it the way you do or even just a sentence or two on terminology. The more we can understand your craft the easier it is for us follow the nuance. A lot of us like you personally and would watch more of these videos, but we don't understand what is happening or why so it's hard to stay focused. But hell you're the dude with 1.4 million subscribers and I'm some asshole in the comments, but those are my thoughts. Either way keep on keeping on my dude because we appreciate you, your independence, and your activism
the wiki is great! thanks!
Good afternoon from New Zealand
6:05 What the hell is wrong with the flux to board ratio? It's all off
1:01 using your lips instead of fingers greatly enhances the owie test - they're much more temperature sensitive and heal faster.
Try checking for an ip conflict if the thermal cam has a static ip
The camera issue is probably because the camera links to the computer via its own (wifi) network, set up by the software. Your computer likely only has 1 network connection. A way around that would be to ad a second network card(USB dongle should work fine), so you could have 2 network connections at the same time.
I heard the sound of fan spin on Christmas Day in the morning
I have a little question - why do you take caps from a donor board? Aren't such simple parts possible to replace with any new ones?
Louis you are Amazing.
People, IP address allocation, network devices are fixed/static IP address. Eay to set IP allocated through DHCP. Camera should be allocated fixed/static IP address through DHCP, all laptops or workstations should be dynamically assigned so may change. All systems are DHCP assignd other than the Router for eas of operation and management. If you do this, you can change networks and never have to change any system manually.
Louis, I am visiting NY and could not found you
He is in chelsea neighborhood in manhattan. Near Penn Station. He has his windows boarded up, but is open for business.
cam disconnects the internet probably because it is set to a higher priority on the network, check the internet sharing settings.
Thanks for the video.
i love my pace st 325
American products suck, that's the problem. I can understand it having to be more expensive because we can't compete with China on price. Fine. But the quality should be JUST AS GOOD or better than the Chinese stuff. If it costs 2-3x more, it damn well better be at least as good of a product that is just as modern. Not just repackaged shit that's been sitting around since the 1970's.
Do you sell or plan to ever sell merchandise? I want to support your brand but none of my tech is broken lol. I would buy like a hat or a shirt
To your thermal camera problem, just check your IP address, because there might be ip conflict with that. So at the time of conflict both devices will try to connect the dhcp server to obtain the IP address.
Louis is the best. But Oh man that wiki is going to be a hotmess for a bit. XD
I'll make a t-shirt with 'I hear a sound of fan spin' on it...
My guess is that you ip camera is using the same ip of the gateway or host that you connect to it..
I'm new to surface mount soldering. Can you recommend any of your videos that show a good vs bad soldering joint for SMT resistors and chips?
Make sure there's no DHCP server on that thermal cam. That would screw up your network good.
Louis, you're a good man!
what should we start to learn to do this kind of repairs?
Thanks 👍
All aboard the PPBUS!
