This MacBook has been absolutely demolished, it looks like it's been run over by a bus multiple times! The frame is severely bent, the display is shattered and bent like a potato chip, and the whole thing is a wreck. But the question is, can it be saved? Can we fix this MacBook? In today's video, we're going to take this trashed 2017 MacBook Pro and try to restore it to it's former glory!

Screen assembly is literally 1 plug,few antenna plugs and 6 screws, I've never came across an easier display to replace(If we're talking a whole assembly, if the display was fixed and I mean unglue the glass protector with a heatgun and replace the lcd itself, then yeah, it's pretty difficult) but overall it's as easy as taking a gameboy apart, had more trouble diassembling nintendo ds than macbooks for the past 7 years lol

Now that's a lot of damage!
i don't think I have come across one video that I haven't watched the full thing. I am a recent Apple convert. I was overclocking and water cooling pc's 20 years ago. I bought my first iPhone in October, and really started opening my eyes to Apple. I grabbed my wife's old 6,1 Macbook and did a ram and ssd upgrade and installed Catalina. Just did the same with my sister in law's 7,1 Macbook Pro. I miss doing these kind of things. I am trying to figure out a way to continue fixing these old macbook's up and your channel has given me so much inspiration. Thanks!
When you rebuild the MacBook and it has a failed part. It makes watching the video satisfying to your viewers. Just because you have the problems that everybody else experiences. Then you go back and fix it a second time. That makes watching your video even more satisfying! Keep doing what you’re doing, it works! Be safe.
Apple would look at this: yeaaahh... its water damage.....

I have done that a few times on MacBook and MacBook pros it's interesting a fun if a bit nerve racking but once it's complete its great. People often ask me why I do it I just say because I can!. Nice video
very cool project! thanks for making the video and sharing! Always been curious how a mac is built this answered many of those questions thanks for sharing!
I never clicked so fast !!! I been waiting for this one
“Trashedbook pro” and LOL to fancy Luke. I really wonder what the story is for the damage of this MacBook Pro. It amazes me when I see the level of damage for some machines especially when browsing eBay.
Wow Luke! You are really super patient and painstakingly restored this laptop. Good job man!!!!
Learning so much my friend!! Thank you. Just found your channel. Great work!!
I’ve been binge watching you through this lockdown thanks for the awesome Mac videos I just got the new Mac Pro and IPad Pro and am loving it , been using macs since the beginning yes I’m old lol x
Well now I know what I’m going to do for my quarantine project
Completely worth it Luke and I must say very therapeutic. Great videos as always man!
I LOVE your videos! You inspired me to try my own repair for the first time. I had a Chromebook with a bad battery, so I did my research on iFixit and bought a refurbished toolkit and a replacement battery on Ebay (following your tips to make sure I found a good seller) and BOOM - problem fixed!! This saved me over $500. I have followed you for a couple years now and love the content and your sense of humor! I have always wondered how you got to your level of knowledge on Macs - Did you work at a Genius Bar?? Thanks again, Charles.

8@@marcmiyamoto The batteries in these machines aren't just one single cell, they have leads running to each of those pouches and are frighteningly flexible should you ever find yourself handling one that isnt glued in. I wouldn't be surprise if, even with that level of damage, the battery is just fine to continue using. As for removal, there are liquid solutions you can use to release the adhesive and get the battery out. With everything else destroyed, a heatgun and some alcohol should do just fine. ** I should mention the heat is applied to the palmrest, not directly to the battery** Then something like dental floss can be used to slice through the glue, releasing the battery. Ifixit has some great guides detailing this.

For me this restorations aren’t really restorations, a example of a restoration yes when you buy a car with scratches, dents or even crash damage and you repair the original metal and painted again etc. This is basically like taking the engine and putting in on a completely new car and calling it a “restoration”

There's really isn't much that could be done there, you can't make a new screen at home, the lower case was missing (and, again, you can't recreate one). The only thing that could be done would be to unbend the top case, and even if he managed to do it (and I don't think it is possible at that state), the touch bar was broken.
