@Louis Rossmann the whole Amtech/Inventec thing, here's a quick summary: V2 is a much older formula. It's honey colored and has a pine scent. It is intended for leaded hand-soldering. Unfortunately, the manufacturing process yielded a compound that was not too stable and it often would crystalize in the tube, and one of the necessary reagents was becoming increasingly hard to obtain. Inventec gave up on this V2 formula because of the manufacturing challenges and has, for some time, been selling what it _actually_ NC-559-ASM-TF, a newer formula that will work for both leaded and lead-free solder. It is a more creamy color and not as dark and does not have the pine scent. Amtech, since parting ways with Inventec, has now created a new manufacturing process that results in a more stable V2 but is otherwise 1:1 and they found a way to substitute the one challenging reagent. So, anyone complaining about it being "different" are likely ordering "V2" directly from Amtech when they actually meant to order "ASM". It's funny because some folks are like "wow! They went back to the old formula!" and some folks who didn't use V2 way back then are like "wow, this is a *new* formula", lol.
flux talk at 1:00:00 - thank you!
@@rossmanngroup wow, thank you! I've never had a pinned comment before!
why@@3leeham
Can confirm, cat got me to click when I was looking for a comedy vid
I also watched long enough to get the view counter to count
This is a comedy video 😂
Louis is way too sneaky with including cats in his videos thumbnail. Yet no cat in the video. Watching hours of board repair expecting the cat to come at 3 hours to toss the board on the floor breaking it (or heck, that is probably the way to fix apple boards).
That's the whole point. Hopefully you ended up learning something. See you in the next board repair video, disguised as a kitty 🐈 stream
Clickbait at its maximum
@@cesar_otoniel definitely not, it's highly educational
Lol
I found the cat at 2:03:03 Thank you Louis for your amazin content
I just want to say I fall asleep to this stream pretty often. It’s the perfect balance of dialogue and white noise
He probably does the best summary of unions out there. Unionization is so fucking hard to do because people think all unions are one type or the other and forget about the other and/or don’t want to talk about it
I honestly love this guy he's on the forefront of giving us our property rights back and people are just like, 'that's cool I guess', honestly at this point I'd love to hear him do a repair video with his New York accent in ASMR lol..
Perks of working at Rossmann Repair: Bring your cat to work day.
You are the role model of my MacBook repair life…. Millions of people learning from your board repairs ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
2:29:40 Congrats on finding your Rodrigo. I'm sure there are more, some timeshifting or using an interface without the chat pane. You're doing good talking through these cases.
Thank you sir for valuable repairs
Absolutely love your honest attitude. Edit: And wow, you somewhat blew my mind with the speed dating aspect, It's actually a great idea.
@Louis Rossmann please the subtitles in Spanish, your followers from Latin America thank you, good day.
This is why I subscribed to you to be honest. I listen to these videos while I cook dinner haha
The only thing I learned in H'School - was TYPING. I'm super impressed with two finger typing skills. I'm using all ten fingers - and I don't think I could exceed you're results. Impressive.
This is the first time I watch your stream. It was worth it. Might join next time.
Back to the boards. It's so nice to have some electronics on this channel once again! 😉
You are truly a brilliant guy, you make me laugh genuinely sometimes, and I learn quite a bit from you almost from every single video. Take care of those two, Clinton and Oreo. Cats, especially black ones are special. Good luck with what you do and keep making videos.
Louis, the moment I started watching your channel my life turned around. *straightface*.
I was just thinking, ohh how good would it be to see a board repair and than I see this, thanks!
it would be awesome to get a photo with you, i look up to you and your work and youve influenced me to get a career in electronic repair. i currently work for a company that repairs any video game console and ive learned a lot since.
Addiction facts too my dude.. strait facts. I've been through it.. wish I would have had you there for me then. 🙏
from Philippines, always helping me lot ,And God knows, from the bottom of my heart THANK U. sorry dont have much to donate, i know God will, thank u
15:26 I died laughing XD
Man that's freaking awesome having cats in your workplace I would love that
Most helpful video ever
3:12:37. Good question and answer!
please tell me how do you display multimeter on the screen...love your work...from india
Awsome, you will make someone a great secretary.
What a strange and interesting community I've stumbled upon. I know nothing of the subject matter but the banter is just fucking fantastic.
Lol, I can understand that as that's one of the many reasons I'm still here in the community now as a moderator. Welcome!
@@ChristophHoward AY! Was not expecting a reply but very glad you did. Yeah I will never repair electronics, not my specialty. However I have learned a ton about consumer issues regarding electronics repair so at least I am somewhat informed and can pass info along. Thank you!
Links in description not visible, for me at least, from Kapton tape onwards.
I love these videos 😂
I fell asleep and I forgot to turn my phone off and this played… Nice
I AVOIDED this video due to the 3 hour plus timeline. THEN....I saw the thumbnail pointed to CAT....and here I am. LOL!! Better late than never?
I've just watched 2h of this video, and there were hardrly any hardware repairs that i can't watch this anymore
I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE CAT!
58:44 there's a cat
@@rossmanngroup Technically there's a cat... like Bruce Willis in one of the 5 movies he made yesterday
@@Pissjuggernaut Did you expect that cat would fix the board?
@@Amenti_H I watch ONLY for cat
luis, ive seen on very OLD electronics, black shadowing on a case above black chips. not on something so new.
@Louis Rossmann. I agree with you in general on the unions. Except for jobs that have a monopsony type employment situation. That is a job where there are is essentially one defacto employer for the niche. An example I can think of is nursing, especially a specialist like pediatrics. Which usually are loss leaders for hospitals. (Pediatrics as a business costs a lot to have services for, is good for marketing, but makes no money for the hospital. The sickest kids are often from broke families. And if your kid is really sick, you'll soon be broke, because America.) Now full disclosure I am married to a nurse in a union, but if she was not in a union she would make considerably less for being in pediatrics, even though it takes more specialized training and certifications to care for that population. Plus it is important to have that in a community, kids should get specialized treatment so they grow up to be healthy functional adults and give back. But I am biased. I will agree though that some unionized electricians and tradesfolk I have worked with are eyerolling levels of lazy. Not to mention our local teacher's union has bankrupted most schools, including the public school I was fortunate enough to graduate from before financially things got really bad. So I am not always pro-union. It is complicated.
Can tell me where to buy the tool and software I need to refine my mac repair skill
I set my phone down after scrolling thru reccomended and picked it back up to watch this after I realized a cat was in the thumbnail 😂😂
1:28:28 Seriously the Classic Keys are just too bulky and make issues. The shorter more smooth keys like the Microsoft 600 are SO much better. I really Enjoyed the Logitech K800... B4 I gave it water damage :(
As soon as I saw the cat on thumbnail I clicked this video...then I was disappointed :/
2:14:55 freeze spray to check for heat?
Louis I have an old Xperia phone with a bad charging port. If I send it can you fix it please
I'll pay
I know this is out of topic, but right to repair can be circumvented by manufacturers deliberately making it harder for normal people to repair their machines/cars. Read an online post about a Cad designer for BMW and said that management would shoot down any attempts to make parts much easier for people to repair because they would no longer use authorized service shops.
Where can I find that mouse?
His voice bellows kids are heading out to school in a new block of instruction for vocabulary of course it’s up to me to preview content which I had not done
I heard the meow and panicked 😂
i learned with you a long time ago that i cant do what you do.
Been buying Macs since '86, and the MacBook is the only one I had trouble with and after 2-3 logic board swaps and a 2 minute video showing it cycling through repeated reboots after that, Apple exchanged it for a new top of the line MacBook Air which of course works great.
Glad your experience has been positive. I cannot after seeing all the stuff I've seen repairing computers buy a MacBook nothing I do requires one and the cons are too great
Quick question, do you repair items other than Apple products? One reason why I don't your long videos is becuase I left the cult of Apple long ago.
ALICE ROCKS !
This guy is a God among men.
All cat's are Assholes, not just yours. That's why we love them.
Hey Louigie
Louis, may I interest you in building custom keyboard? You would be able to customize your appearance and typing feel much better. Pricey, but nice.
$1.00 Maria is Wildin out over here lmaooo
You probably haven't tried a custom keyboard, it's glorious but who in the right mind would pay $350 for a keyboard
came here for the cat.
Amazon dropshipping is also cancerous. I can find vastly different prices of the same exact product. I don’t need more middlemen in the middle of other middlemen.
Thumbs up for Oreo!
_At first I assumed that this red arrow points at Louis Rossmann..._ 🤔
I don't understand how a moderator can make shit up and still have any association with Louis. It looks like the moderator has a problem with integrity and should be removed.
I was given the information by 2 people in my discord, and when I made an announcement to everyone in discord asking who posted the information they didn't come forward. I unreservedly apologised to Alex, but of course Alex isn't telling the whole story as usual
Clinton Clinton meow, best advice ever
you are good people man. anytime you need a place in ohio
Who cares about some stupid cat, when there's a chance to hear Rossmann swear and curse over some Apple stupidity again?!
I care about Oreo!
like michaelsoft binbows?
Gossip had it that Amazon closed it's Seattle spoke (years ago) due to threat of unionization. Amazon wasn't as sh*tty then.
I’m here for the cat
Very detailed operation, thank you for sharing, if you are interested in repair tools, please contact me.
where catto
That typing skills with 2 fingers, your GF must be very happy :p
For everyone looking for the cat it’s at 24:55
A Macbook repair BY LOUIS !? Im now: Happer Fitter More informed
Alright Rossman... TWO THINGS! FIRST - How on earth are you wearing a all black long sleeve, own cat - have cat in same place - not wearing cat - I wear anything black - I am also wearing cat. What gives. You lintroll the hell out of yourself before you start this or that shirt fresh out the pkg or something??!? SECOND - That little magnet on your screwdriver looks holy handy as heck. Little thing you put together yourself out of usecase/need? or is that an instrument available for purchase somewhere?? (2a - you ought put together a little branded toolkit a la Gamers Nexus but geared towards your needs & that of your ilk & followers tinkering with the same or similar stuff.. JUST based on that screwdriver alone, it's usefulness & how I've never seen anything like it. You had one in a store this moment, I'd be placing an order immediately.. (I'd also order any black shirt you sold that didn't pickup cat hair)
Jumpscare around 3:10 lol
CAT! 😻🐈
Um, thats like the keyboard warmer. Didn't you know that Apple thinks of everything. Next Dell will try and get sued because a wrong driver got installed that caused a lockup that in turn caused someone to sustain 3rd degree burns.
@1:09:31 robbed of cat petting views... teasing of meows...
One thing for sure about unions is that the union leaders are the ones who see the greatest increase in income.
CAT!!?
cat 👍
I clicked for the cat.
hahahhahaah grounding, youll be pleased (not) to know i have that kind of body that never needed grounding throughout my whole career.
Cat works
Somebody obviously needs to put a timestamp of the cat appearance
Louis guys girls sorry I violated the rull when you change battery on divice my was Logitech G900 call bomb squad becouse can exsplode. I forgot to call them 🤣 sorry my bot battery are stil in one peace 😁
Northridge screwed me on a cheap power supply for voltage injection. It failed the first time I used it and they told me to send it back for replacement or refund. I paid for return shipping then they told me I used it wrong and I was out return shipping and the initial cost.
where cat
Expert click bait strats Louis.
why my comments get deleted?
maybe yt links?
Rarely have that problem it just doesn't get through
As long as u write something good he isnt deleting I think 🙈
Ahhh it was the cat... It ran over the keyboard 👀
C A T ! ?
Ouch no

Crazy fact. Did you know if you were to die in your house a cat would eventually start to eat you… Dogs would not.. Crazy trivial question eh? Look it up.
CAT
Wait a minute, did Louis and his girlfriend break up? The way he's talking here it sounds like it
Click bait again
i could bet a house and an eye that Louis does not handwrite as fast as he types .. who thinks i am wrong?
All i have ever seen is how a union destroys a company, Personally think unions are bad... and would not support or work in a union.
So yesterday my 2013 iMac self updated itself without my consent and the update bricked my Mac… the unfortunate thing about this is I’ve had the Mac for about a year and yes it’s used but I can’t help but think these “updates” eventually make it so you have to buy a new Mac. It’s super disappointing because I’ve been a Mac user for over 15 years and now I can’t work because I don’t have a Mac… p.s. I’m a musician and video editor so the bulk of my work is done on my Mac :( HELLP!!
