Haven't uploaded a video for awhile.  I am in the middle of back to back sessions of Practical Board Repair School.  With all the soldering equipment at the school, it turns into the iPad Rehab sweat shop at night to work on our mail in repair queue.  Tonight I look up from a repair and find that Louis and Sunny have MY retina MacBook opened up with the SPI ROM chip desoldered.  Why? So they can reprogram it to make my MacBook think it is a Lenovo Thinkpad.  And when that doesn't work...just to change its name to Red Blazer---after our favorite soldering training video on YouTube.   I think we all might need a night of sleep sometime soon.
