Robust results and progress. Well done Louis. I hope comptia does indeed forgo their invasive practice of attempting to damage the repair industry.

I've had several Brother laser printers and they're great, solid performers. I used to repair Apple and HP products and I had a BIG pile of failed PCBs from HP printers.

LOL, just a few years ago, Lenovo ThinkPads came pre-loaded with adware that secretly sent your online banking passwords to a 3rd party in another country, literally harvesting every customer's online banking passwords, email passwords, and social media passwords. Google "Lenovo Superfish"

Google Lenovo Superfish and tell me about Apple sending your banking and email passwords to a 3rd party in another country like Lenovo did.... oh.... Apple didn't?

Whoever you want to blame, to my knowledge the Apple fork of this firmware doesn't suffer from this issue and Apples use the same Thunderbolt controllers.

You blew it in reverse engineering. Totally. The DIP switches select different termination resistors for the input of the amp in order to match the impedance to the cartridge. It's a legitimate audiophile type adjustment while your errant commentary on it has the same level of value as a Tom Evans audio product. Sad really. Try harder.

I shake my head thinking about that raised Eugene flooring monstrosity. I'll bet the store feels a lot bigger with this floor too. It looks fantastic.

@mrrootytooty5797 You know you can make a simple curve tracer with a small transformer and two or three resistors? Slighty more complex and useful versions are as simple as 6 transistors with a handful of resistors and caps in support.

I knew somebody with a big GM truck that had been upgraded with some parts changed in the engine (valves, springs, etc) and the ECU reprogrammed. The result was a little over 250% of the stock horsepower. It needed a Jake Brake after the conversion.
1
@thenewhalogod How often do people call you an ass? Did you see the part where I said "some parts changed in the engine". Jacobs does indeed or at least did in the past make retrofit kits. In addition some engines like Detroit Diesels were Jake Brake ready but didn't necessarily have one installed. Try reading a little for yourself before you accuse people lying you feckless half-wit. Searching for "jake brake retrofit" might have told you something. Example: https://parts.jacobsvehiclesystems.com/files/support/docs-pdfs/29901B.pdf I worked plenty on the Ham radio rig in that truck and rode around in it plenty. I couldn't tell you if it was a Jacob's product or a competitor that did the same thing, but it sounded the same. The owner of the truck was a wealthy stockbroker who used it to transport a 4 horse trailer up the I-5 Grapevine grade just north of Los Angeles.
1
@thenewhalogod you indolent mook. It was a HIGHLY custom vehicle built on a giant GM frame. You started this by making an unfounded accusation so I can only assume that people do indeed regularly refer to you as an ass. As I pointed out, the guy had been a stockbroker. Money was no object for him and he used to the truck to transport horses. You have any idea what horses cost or what they weigh? They're around 1000 pounds each and a full trailer with 4 weighs over 10,000 pounds.s What your truck is, is 100% irrelevant. I gave you that link so you could see that you were missing a whole lot of reality as there are engines designed with potentially adding an engine brake if necessary and retrofits are a piece of Jacobs business model and the displacement was similar. You think I'm going to try to search out deprecated data from a 20+ year old engine I never worked on? WTF is wrong with you? At least you finally looked and found that there are other exhaust brake retrofits and since that engine was a couple years older than 2004, you're still coming up short. Boom line: The hosepower improvement allowed it to tow the load but that load necessitated brake upgrades and he had an exhaust brake that he called a "jake brake" which sounded like one when applied, but you want to get your panties in a wad over the manufacturer rather than the function. Do you also get bent if somebody calls a generic cotton swab a "Q-tip"? Do you get bent if somebody calls a generic adhesive bandage a "bandaid"? Do you enjoy being such an ignorant ass?

I've been using an A1398 since 2014. It's the best Windows and best MacOS machine I've ever had... absolutely rock solid. Thanks for this video!
1
@m_a_s6069 I'm a designer, not a repair person although I used to be a repair person while earning the bulk of my income through general consulting services. Consulting pulled in considerably more and I didn't even have to turn a screwdriver. BTW, you can buy my Thunderbolt/USB RAID and other products at B&H, Walmart, and big retailers worldwide.
1
That trace was completely Eugened.
1
Google "Lenovo Superfish" and ask why a company that pre installed adware that sent my email and online banking passwords to a 3rd party in another country is superior. hahahahahahahahahaha. Apple is now an evil company, but let's not pretend Lenovo is or started out as any better. Lenovo is absolutely worse from several perspectives.
1
@squidcaps4308 Connectors are NOT what you want here. I've been building instruments for almost 40 years and connectors are NOT what you want when you can solder directly. Why would you want connectors? I can't see any reason for using them and I see lots of reason to not use them from a performance standpoint. Baffling indeed. Why do you harp on connectors which would degrade performance while not mentioning his lack of shielding and his absurdly superficial understanding of the "shielding" he did include?
1
Lenovo is the only machine I know of that came pre-loaded with adware that sent your banking passwords to a 3rd party in another country. Google "lenovo superfish" if that doesn't ring a bell.
1
Lenovo lost me as a customer when they pre-installed adware that secretly sent my online banking and email passwords to a 3rd party in another country. Google "Lenovo Superfish".

No, you're paying for the R&D, the quality, and the expected margins where they compete with everyone else's margins. What's your industry experience? I've been repairing machines since the 1980s and got my Apple service tech certification in 1991. Uninformed whining from people with no experience who get their opinions from YouTube isn't helpful to anybody.
1
@Zefar77 I got my Apple service certification in 1991, probably before you were born. I became a certified Apple developer in 1987. I've been designing, building, and selling both hardware and software products since 1984. You can buy several of my designs at B&H right now. You tell me alllllllll about it. People who watch YouTube videos and think they understand the industry are a complete laugh.
1
@Zefar77 It's apparent you type before you think as you've completely lost the plot and now you're trying to strawman with a comment about Louis. How many years have you been a hardware designer? Any? Zero? I used to be a contractor for Apple's advanced technology group and I've been under non-disclosure with Apple for over 30 years so that's the source of my insight. What's your source for insight about product development? What's your expertise for analyzing designs? YouTube comment you heard from somebody else? How many products have you developed? As I said, people who watch YouTube videos and think they understand the industry are a complete laugh.
1
@Zefar77 OK, so you know not of what you speak. That's established. In terms of computer products, you've never built anything and you've never designed anything and you've never put anything into production, but you watch YouTube and now you're an expert. LOL. As somebody who actually does know, I've seen Louis heap blame incorrectly on the wrong parts and misidentify modes for failures. I've seen him arrive at conclusions that make me cringe a little because I design circuits and know a little more about why things happen as well as how they need to be to avoid other things happening. Louis will tell you himself very humbly that he's self taught and picked most of this up seat of the pants. He's great for getting machines up and running but just because somebody fixes TVs doesn't mean they know how to design a TV. Keep telling yourself YouTube viewing makes you an expert.
1
Google "Lenovo Superfish" and ask yourself how good you feel about a company that preinstalled adware that sent everyone's email and online banking passwords to a 3rd party data harvesting company in another country.
1
LOL, Google "Lenovo Superfish" and she'll really want a Lenovo then.
1
LOL, just a few years ago, Lenovo ThinkPads came pre-loaded with adware that secretly sent your online banking passwords to a 3rd party in another country, but sure they're "going" full Apple? Tim Cook told the FBI to take a hike over maintaining security meanwhile Lenovo sold its entire customer base out to an adware company in another country who literally harvested every customer's online banking passwords, email passwords, and social media passwords.

@ShyamadeepPrasad I'm not "triggered", I just called you out for acting like a quintessential hateboi; yes a hateboi. I've been fixing machines since before the very first Mac portable. I've repaired machines from Apple, Dell, Acer, HP, Lenovo, IBM, Compaq, Toshiba, and many others in both on-site and depot repair scenarios for corporate America with clients like Genentech, Bank of America, NASA, and PG&E. I have a box of dead Dells and Acers if you want them and logic board cheapness wise... both of those brands suck compared to Apple engineering. On what basis do I make that claim? You can buy my Thunderbolt 2/USB3.0 RAID drive at B&H right now, and my designs sailed through Intel's Thunderbolt engineering design review so I'm not some random user. My 35 years of industry experience informs my opinion and I'm a hardware designer in addition to a firmware and applications programmer. I spent a little time at Cray Research and there were only two kinds of computers in the building besides the Crays in the basement, and those were Suns and Macs. Full disclosure, I've been an engineering contractor for both Apple and Sun. What you don't seem to understand is that computers are tools and if I can give my staff a tool that gets 14% more work of of them in the same time, then I would be dumb to not equip them with the better tools. I honestly have to regard people like yourself as unreliable jokes more than any hardware. This is getting typed on a 6 year old MacBook that has never even burped beyond a battery replacement and it runs the $10,000 CAD software I use better than any PC hardware I've used. Apple is a shitty, evil company but their engineering has generally been industry leading.
1
Louis, try not to give away any defining information like how many years somebody has been somewhere.
1
Their hardware used to be decent but as a division of IBM their heads were screwed up from the get-go.
1
@Rene In THIS case it's a 7 cent diode, but this isn't the only way boards fail and Apples fail far less often than the vast majority of PC hardware so why are you considering a REPAIR price to value the hardware versus the gains you get from PRODUCTIVITY which you benefit from every moment you're using the machine? LOL. I tend to go through 3 PCs during the life a single Mac and when the PCs fail I get a new one because they're disposable junk, even at $1000 a unit. It's my data that has value and my productivity is higher on a Mac so I get dividends every time I use it.
1
@vgamesx1 You've never been in production, I can tell. I design hardware for a living and I became a factory authorized Apple tech almost 30 years ago.... you tell me all about it.
1
@Mr Guru While I agree with most of your post, know that Macs deliver higher productivity in the workplace so if I'm paying 45 employees to work and I can get 8% more work out of a slightly higher initial investment, I would not only be a fool to not choose Macs, I would be derelict in my fiduciary responsibilities. I haven't checked in a long time but it used to be that the Microsoft web site was made from images which the JPEG headers show were all put together in the Mac version of Photoshop; that's AT Microsoft.
1
@deadgaming20 Yeah, but what are you gonna do? 🤷 You can lead a horse to water but they have to figure out the drinking part themselves.
1
@Rene How long have you worked professionally in computer repair? My shop handled Apple and 5 big name brand PCs (including compaq) and we had clients like HP, NASA, Genentech, Bank of America, etc.. In a business you use what gives you the most out of your employees. When you're self employed you use the tools that give you highest efficiency. In some sectors the Mac has always delivered more productivity based on testing. PostScript printed from a Mac will ALWAYS look better because the font "hinting" from the PostScript driver on a Mac uses a lot more data points to make smoother characters. I use whatever I need to use to get the job done. Your statement is silly at best because you can even buy the tools and supplies to do these repairs yourself on the Rossmann website. In business you generally call a consultant that charges big bucks to get on-site service and the majority of shops don't do component level repair, they do board swaps.
1
@robertcalkjr.8325 I have a box full of dead Dell Inspirons including the one that was my main PC for a few years if you want them.
1
@mjc0961 LOL, did I trigger your inner hateboi? I guarantee I've bought significantly more Windows hardware and software than you ever will even if you lived to be 600 years old and I've been supporting Windows since version 3.11. As a consultant doing on-site service and repair for corporate America I can tell you Windows is a cash cow, Macs not so much for repair needs because they don't need as much upkeep. If that triggers you, nobody can help that but you.
1
@duketogo2616 ??? I used to work for the largest Mac dealer west of the MIssissippi River and had a number of Fortune 500 clients as well as public utilities like PG&E and PacBell. We also dealt PCs. We had about 35 technicians, 3 warehouses full of repair inventory, and you could hire me at $250 per hour. After that I focused on engineering, ending up with over a dozen employees and doing contract work for Apple's Advanced Technology Group but I've never been an Apple employee. I've also worked for Sun Microsystems as engineering contractor. You can right now buy Thunderbolt RAID gear I designed at B&H Photo, Walmart, and retailers worldwide. How about you?
1
@noanoxan LMAO, "Packard Bell"??? 🤣🤣🤣 No.... that's not a public utility. Try Pacific Bell/SBC Communications/AT&T Ever heard of AT&T? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Bell . I've worked in the industry my whole life and you can buy my designs off the shelf right now, today in big stores. These days I make the products that folks like Louis install for people like you instead of me installing other people's products for people like you and my products get more 5 star reviews than anything else. That's the present and I have more designs on the way under contract that haven't even hit production prototype yet. Maybe you'll amount to something, someday, maybe.

@TheCatLady65 People with experience who are good at things can't watch YouTube? What a clownish thing to think.
1
@TheCatLady65 LOL, that's the best you could come up with? You're so original.... 😂

Tom's preamp is NOT marked for compliance with an actual CE "conformité européenne" mark. Instead it has a stolen/modified Intel trademark logo and a CHINA EXPORT mark. 😂 Ton is such a git that he can't make his own logos or understand the difference between Conformité Européenne and China Export marks. 😂😂😂

The only reason that happens is because there are pathetically insecure racists who take very opportunity to project their insecurity.
