I have so many devices and never cracked or broken any. It’s not that hard just take care of them. Knowing he got the lot for free the person that used these devices probably are not interested into the tech space.

The ultrasonic cleaner that Rossmann recommends (I think he even sells it occasionally on his online store) can often single-handedly fix water damaged MacBooks with no further board repair depending on the extent of the damage. I’d highly recommend picking one up, it’s been a complete game changer at the repair shop I work at.

I managed to crack my Huawei P8's screen back in the day by accidentally dropping it. To me, its design has been so slick and perfect that I had stopped using a case about two years prior to that. In my eyes it would have been a shame to hide such a beautifully designed device in a thick, ugly rubber case 😅 Long story short: Shit happens, bought a new screen for about 50€, replaced the cracked one and continued using phone for almost three more years (still w/o case)🙂

I'm a little surprised you didn't mention asking if she wanted the data off the ones that booted, especially the 4 which she's been hanging onto for some odd reason and which didn't need much love to light up. Good haul, though, and better to a tech than into the waste stream.

I've found a 2009 macbook pro at a dump. It was thrown away due to 1 bad drive and water damage. I removed the corrosion and thankfully the motherboard works completely fine. The DVD slot was replaced for a secondary drive and it was an SSD. That SSD was working fine but then it suddenly just gave up fully so the water most likely did it's job there. I replaced both the drives and it works very well! even the original battery is in very good condition, 86% health left according to numerous battery testing apps.

You'll need to replace the lcd connector and maybe other components in the backlight circuit, I look forward to when you'll get around to it. Thanks for the video

I'm watching your video on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro. The MacBook travelled several times around the world, I'm using it many hours every day but it still looks brand new: no scratches, everything works flawless... I never dropped or scratched one of my many iPhones. I will never understand why people do not take better care of items worth hundreds or even thousands of $$$...

That AirPods box is one apple sends when you get them replaced under warranty 👍

Your videos are wonderful, and you are legit a genius! 😊

Fried backlight can be fixed by rewiring broken traces directly from voltage regulators/ICs to the connector

The iPhone 4 brings me back sooooo many memories, that phone was so revolutionary and nostalgic when it came out.

The thumbnail got me thinking this was a DankPods video

With how Apple insists on having the high-voltage backlight trace on the display connector right next to signal lines to the CPU/GPU instead of a ground, there's a good chance that the IGP in that MacBook Air is also fried. So sad how Apple is basically the king of e-waste at this point.

I just watched this video on one of your previous fixes the 2011 21.5-inch iMac that I purchased from your store which is still working well

if pin #1 and #2 are shortened out by the water damage, it will probably result in 50V went directly to CPU and frying it off. Very known problem with MacBook's. It is even recommended to take a new MacBook that you just bought from an Apple to a technician, to put a water protecting coating in this connector and few other places.

The MacBook will be great to keep for a damaged case but good internals. It’s pretty mint.

Would it help to put the mainboard into a bath of IPA to get rid of the corrosion to some extent?

I don't understand how do you end up smashing all of your devices just like that. I've been using the same MacBook for almost 9 years now. And I haven't repaired it even once. Well, it does need it's battery changed, but otherwise it is perfectly fine. And I've also had several Samsung phones, which I've used for 5-6 years each.

I was eager for the devices to be repaired. Now I’ll have to wait for some repair.

If it was mine I would put some vinegar where there's oxidation and use a brush to clean it off,or would leave it soaked for a while and then rinse it with isopropyl alcohol. But more than likely she had plugged it and it fried the charging circuit and you wil have to test the board with a multimeter or even one of those freezing sprays that show which area is getting warm and shorted...

Try an ultrasonic cleaner for the water damaged logic board

Hey Hugh, I didn’t know how else to contact you but I have a quite serious question, my mums Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is being weird just lately, crashes/freezes/lags/warms up really quick and battery drains really quick, so one of the things I tried doing is going into the phones boot-loader to clear the system cache and run some tests from there, but I can’t actually get into the bootloader! When I power the phone off, I’ve tried the volume up and power button together, the volume down and power button together and also both volume buttons and the power button together but I can’t get into it, do you mind if you could look into this and try yourself because honestly the S22 ultras system is so weird!

Hi if it’s still not too late. With the newer Samsung phones you can’t get into the boot loader without connecting to a laptop with your usb c cable first. I’m not sure about software needed but do a quick google search along lines of “s22 boot loader plug in laptop?”

Wait, how did you get rid of the passcode? i have a 4 and it keeps asking me for my father's icloud account. he doesnt remember it.

I have my mum's Iphone 6S which looks like new but has the motherboard issue and boot loops. Appling heat and it then boots fine.

one thing I would try for the MacBook airs is soaking the motherboard in isopropyl alcohol for a while and using a toothbrush to get rid of the corrosion
