Once again Apple has successfully protected the users data.

[brianswille]

That's insane. If my mobo blew up my SSD by overvolting, people would be livid about that and it would tarnish the brands reputation. It boggles my mind how much of Apple's issues are excused.

[Alster]

Look this is their incentive to sell you iCloud back up, "We know your machine is going to fail, so pay us for this additional service." 😂

Last week I had a coworker that used to work for Apple and still loves them ask me why i thought Apple was dishonest and their products were trash. I named him 15 major issues with examples. His response was "I see I opened a can of worms. I don't know about any of the technical stuff but I'd like to hear why you think their labor practices are bad and their marketing is deceptive"

Some people are just too deep in the cult. Apple won't have to change anything until the spell finally breaks for them.

[泥棒猫-me]

This is horrendous. And people pay so much for these Apple products...

Would have loved to see the values for the voltage divider on the feedback pin. Can just about guarantee one of them was out of spec and causing the converter to output it’s maximum voltage. Should be a rather simple preventative task to swap those resistors out before this ever happens. Not that anyone actually will….

[AshnSilvercorp]

No part of this video shames Apple users for having these types of devices. It's exactly what consumers who bought it and critics should do against a company.

If you make hardware and software for a high price and claim to be on the top of computing world wide, you had better actually back it up with long term action, not just up-pricing everything to make it look like it's the best.

[alexandersimpson]

It's a relatively simple thing to mitigate any possible over volting to the SSD a simple resettable fuse set to say 2.1v.. So why has this not been done? Parts will fail regardless, good design however takes this into account and protects itself.. The SSD surely is the one component you cannot afford to be trashed, it's the customers data..!

Imagine if your vehicle door wiring harness could wear out over time and fry your vehicles engine and electrical system killing your vehicle because you opened your door, like you have to do to operate the vehicle. There would be mass recalls and a class action lawsuit. The disconnect from what most people would think is OK or acceptable with say repairing your own vehicle and what phone and computer manufacturers do is amazing to me; the notion of non-owner replaceable batteries, at least to me, takes the cake as batteries is the one part guaranteed to eventually FAIL. Just think it GM said oh well your battery capacity is bad so we you can pay 32k for a new battery or buy a whole new car for 35k; GM would be out of business in short order.

[Gnohio]

i may not know enough polish to be conversational or fluent, but i do know enough for that sticker at 19:35 to give me a good chuckle and think about getting one for myself.

[DouglettDD]

its terrible because these are marketed for photo and video editing but having data loss like this is just unacceptable for people in that type of field imo

[hezekiahwallace]

I'm starting to think that companies purposely designed products to fail and I'm not talking about the battery.

[Zhaymoor]

I followed this channel many years ago to learn more by seeing fixing videos; I hope Chris can go on with such videos or start his own channel. you provide really useful content but we are missing a lot on devices fixing.

thank you

[pharoah]

In my opinion, software isn't any better. Big name companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google still produce garbage software. As a developer, I have to work closely with this trash and the best I can do is vow to actually give a crap when developing my own software

[womagrid]

The psychology of the Apple customer base is fundamentally inconsistent: 1) Express your individuality by buying exactly the same device as everyone else 2) Pay a premium price for a disposable product that you never truly own. This leads me to suspect that the same inconsistency extends into other areas of life.

[ohdearplays]

I recently "fixed" a 2019 rose gold macbook air. The person that owned it said it refuses to charge and turn on even when using the charger that came with it from new. I just used my 45w lenovo laptop charger & bam works

[hezekiahwallace]

I want Louis back talking about buggy motherboards with actual bugs on them.

[JacobSalinas]

Just dropped mine off to you today, Its a brand new 2019 macbook pro 16'' that I literally just opened. It was still factory sealed when I opened it, it was dead out of the box would not charge or turn on. I look forward to having you guys work your magic and bring it back to life Thanks again, see yall when its ready

[SupercovenGW]

Proud to say I convinced the IT Head at our business to replace all of our Apple's to HP's... 5 years ago
zero problems since. convinced him by FORCING him to watch Louis Rossmann videos. ty Louis and your techs

[CampfireCrucifix]

Louis. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Apple products have always sucked.
