*Turn on subtitle for better understanding of the topic Alternative for AC Coupling Capacitor replacement: 33 ohm resistor or 1.8uH inductor (size 0201) First of all we're really sorry for taking this video forever to release, because we are too busy with the dreaded T2 MacBook issues, and these models start to pile up in our shop with really weird issues. Before you try any of these modifications, we highly recommend you to watch all videos in the playlist and make sure to understand them all, only then you can execute the modifications. By all means, you are performing all these soldering AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Why did we make it? We built it for fun, the original thoughts when this project started was just because we want to have an ideal laptop that we can use for ourselves; upgradable, repairable; these models are known for its high repairability rate and its parts are cheap, so they're easy to maintain for everyday use for a repair shop like us. We also create it just to test our soldering skills and manufacturing precision. 2. Can I edit 4K after upgrading to NVMe SSD? The short answer is NO, it requires a lot of criteria for a machine to be able to edit 4K(CPU single thread performance, GPU performance, Disk speed, etc.) Adding NVMe drive only improve the Read/Write speed of files into and out of the Mac, but not adding RAW processing power. 3. So why bother upgrading it to NVMe and all these hassles? What we are showing here proves that these methods of extracting PCIe lanes are possible, and we can apply the same concept to all newer expensive and sophisticated Macs. Would you start this project with a 2000USD Machine? of course not. And it's really interesting to see what these old machines can still do after upgrading it with new hardwares. 4. Will this modification beats the M1 Macs? Yes, and no. Depends on your perspective. Overall performance - in some areas yes, but overall of course not. Longevity and maintenance - nailed it! Stay tuned for more interesting projects for your Mac! Hope you guys enjoyed this video, and thanks for watching! You want us to solder/install it to your MacBook?
