    In the description I wrote: "if you don't own or have access to a 3D printer you could always make the tool out of wood if you are a bit handy." You could get a piece of broom handle, drill a hole and sand it to size with a drill or something. See if your local library or some other organisation has a 3D printer. My $149 3D printer has more than paid itself off with all of the useful things I've repaired or made, so it was money well spent.

    The 3d printer does cost (at least $99 new, with promotion price at microcenter); but, missing the point of this vid: Less money = more brain Or the internet meme: Girl’s voice: “How are you so good in so many things” Guy’s voice, sound of frustration, sound of exhaustion, a bit of prideful flex: “when you’re poor, you learn how to do many things” Or…the point of this vid: Outthink your problems. If I done have a 3d printer (I don’t), I would use a drill attachment (cheap at harborfreight) for sanding. What if it’s the wrong size? Another opportunity for you..me to flex and either roll up extra tape or sand paper to size or spin the attachment against sand paper to reduce the size. “How are you so good with so many things”. “Poverty, baby! Either grow or starve😂”

    Not mentioned in the video, prices are in AUD$. This was back in March, prices have since come down significantly and I see some used Macbook's about the same price (or cheaper depending on condition) as I spent fixing this one. Check the link in the description. Also the method where I installed the OS via USB could have been avoided by connecting it to another Mac in DFU mode just like and iPad or iPhone.

    I know its an old video but there are many vids of these sunkomachines. It appears that the 110v are the most problematic. A simple rewire of the transformer secondary winding will cure the problem . Rewind it with same gauge wire but get as many turns as possible , two three . I havea 240 v model worked on very thin nick3l strip but not so good on the thicker stuff. I rewired it by adding more wire to the supplied winding .vids show how its done . Works verh well now on 60% . Only way to undo welds is tear the metal or grind it off. Have a go it took me a couple of hours and was well worth tge effort.

    One of the big problems in UK winters is that the propane evaporates first leaving, at half weight, mainly butane which doesn't evaporate quickly enough to give a significant flame. I figure if I refill at that point back to just below the original weight it should allow more of the contents to be used without exceeding the original pressure significantly. Probably the next refill should be back to 3/4 weight, then 1/2 weight. That canister can then be saved for summer use.

    A THOUSAND thanks for showing how to replace the blasted silicone buttons! It looks much easier than I thought it would be. Otherwise the keyboard is worthless. Cleaned the well where the key sits with alcohol and a brush and the top of button just flew off. Undoubtedly fatigued from being pressed a zillion times in its 13 years of life and use. UGH. Now to find a replacement button from a donor keyboard somewhere... Are the buttons the same on A1315 and A1255 keyboards (different buttons for larger keys of course but for the main keys)?? THANKS!!!!!

    The shimming made me good money, got a full return on bulk lots, as for opening them I think it's impossible to do it neatly. One possibility for diagnosing could be inserting something in the key holes to connect a multimeter to pinpoint problem locations by comparing results to a known good keyboard and then possibly inserting a wiper with alcohol to clean problem areas..
