When it rains, it pours. Poor Louis.

There are a lot of things that a professional repair shop focused on a particular type of equipment may be able to do that aren't practical for anyone else - including manufacturer repair facilities. Louis Rossman is a bit entertaining on this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ocF_hrr83Oc

⬐ MaDeuceIn my opinion, the title is a little unfortunate. I almost didn't click on it, as I was expecting a video of someone putting an apple laptop in a blender or some such. It isn't that at all.Rather, it's actually quite interesting and well done. The presenter goes through the process of diagnosing and repairing a dead keyboard and trackpad on an apple laptop. The owner was quoted $750 for the repair. He determines that the problem is caused by a single bad resistor. There is good, high quality microscope video of him removing and replacing the SMD resistor.
If you aren't familiar with how all this is done but have an interest, it's worth a watch.
⬐ teslaboxAfter reading your comment I watched the video -thanks. The presenter has some really good points, in this and his other videos, about how Apple makes it hard for people like him to fix people's products. Furthermore, Apple Service doesn't replace $2 parts that fail, they just toss the whole motherboard.
