The fault is 80% of the time Apple's "think different" engineering (components not cooled properly, display cables that break because too short etc)

The other 20% is costumers straight up lying about spilling something over it

It could be anything. Even something like a faulty diode could stop a component having overvolt protection when you’re pulling say 200W from the TB ports and it blowing a chip somewhere. But if you don’t fault find that even if you swap the blown component the next time you repeat that situation it’s gonna blow again.

Of course. He checks for voltage/current and tests the machine before giving it back to costumers. If everything checks out, the job is done.

 

He rarely has machines where a component just blew up, most of the time is either liquid damage or a bad repair job done by a previous technician

I have literally seen a video where he removes the back panel, swaps a component without checking anything else and seals it back up

From what I've seen in other livestreams he has other employes do it for him off camera, for the sake of livestreams/videos. He used to do it by himself when nobody gave a crap about 4h+ livestreams of him fixing a couple of Macs. Sometimes the the Macs he fixes are not even from his 'pile', but some employes give them to him cause probably they don't think they can handle it. They already tell him what they think the problem is, so he just replaces the part.

I guess it's up to them then to check if there's something else wrong with it.

 

If that wasn't the case, big oopsie on his part

Even if it looked over by someone else you should still sanity check it before you work on it just like you should sanity check your own work with someone else.

That's a fair point

I just watched one of his vids of him repairing hardware, and he mentioned his bike died. I glanced through his uploads on YT, but I didn't see one specifically addressing his bike? I don't use anything else, so it's probably on Twitter or whatever, but can someone fill me in ploz?
