Thanks to UGREEN for sponsoring this video!

And sorry Adi! 😅

Glad your wife has a great sense of humor too.

Apple is awesome! In the 90s a battery swap would have been done in 2 seconds without any tools. Now you need to be a surgeon to fix anything on a Mac

Send it to Louis Rossmann! He'll have it working in no time.

I think, I know the issue: you need to open it again and check all the cables, especially the screen cable, because it's really like to disconnect when you try to close the case. Also try to check all "ground" cables.
I repaired a few macs and all those humming fans, when it's turning on but not showing the picture, because of a disconnected screen...

After all that hard work. Apple isn't known for their repairability. You're very lucky to have such a wonderful wife.

Nothing like a Ugreen dock to save a marriage!

It's quite reasonable to assume, you didn't break anything. While it is reasonable to assume, that one of the quadrillion anti repair measures from Apple kicked in.

One of the most wholesome tech videos on YouTube. Despite the repair failure, the wife ended up getting a working newer model Macbook and the sponsored Ugreen dongle as well. Sam is so generous!

Your wife is a very nice person. You are a lucky guy🎉

[percy]

only 48 seconds and I'm smiling with you two. you guys are soul mates!

Make the only consumable part nearly impossible to replace. That's modern technology in the nutshell. I am suprised they didn't pot the entire thing with industrial strength epoxy.

*Wonderful couple, keep up the flame and the humor!*

How does he not have millions of subscribers

[Jayden-lrmm]

That’s wonderful that you tried to help restore the laptop for your wife

[gjune]

Great design Apple. A simple battery replacement can be this difficult

[dyeace]

Most wholesome relationship I've seen

[nathanoy_]

The dynamic between you two is really awesome! <3

Having your wife tell us to unsubscribe was perfect!

I did a battery replacement on one of these for an in-law and I warned her that it may not survive the surgery as these are a mess to due a battery swap on. I managed to get it installed and it it was a no start, Then I retraced my assembly steps and had misaligned a cable on the main board It then woke up and was a success but what a turd that thing was to work on.
