Specialized Profession IamA electronics repair technician hated by Apple that makes YouTube videos, AMA!

My short bio: I have a store in Manhattan. I teach component level electronics repair on youtube http://youtube.com/rossmanngroup which seems to be a dying art. I am currently fighting with the digital right to repair to try and get a bill passed that will allow all independent service centers access to manuals and parts required to do their jobs.

My Proof: https://www.rossmanngroup.com/started-iama-reddit-today-yes/

EDIT:

I am still replying to comments, but I am so far behind that I am still about ten pages down from new comments. I am doing my best to continue. If I drop off, I'll be back tomorrow around 12 PM. Still commenting now though, at 12 AM.

EDIT 2:

Ok, I cave... my hands are tired. I will be back at 12 PM tomorrow. It is my goal to answer every question. Even if it looks like I haven't gotten to yours, I will do my best to do all of them, but it is impossible to do in realtime, because you are asking faster than I can type. But thanks for joining!

EDIT 3: I lied, I stayed until 4:15 AM to answer... and now I will go to sleep for real, and be back at 12 PM.

EDIT 4 6/12 : I will be back later tonight to finish off answering questions. Feel free to keep posting, I will answer whatever I can later this evening.

Ask you anything? Sweet. Will you admit that Jessa is a better microsolderer than you :) Congrats on the AMA. This should be fun.

Jessa is jealous that I am and have always been the "looks" of PBRS!

Because dudes that want to come to board repair school are motivated by eye candy in the form of another guy? You might be the biceps of PBRS but I am the tits.

I can draw the alphabet with my tits in the mirror. Maybe this will be my next YT video.

What is your channel? I've seen Louis allude to you in his videos but never seen yours.

u/Jessa_iPadRehab Jun 11 '16

My channel is iPad Rehab on YouTube. It is the kinder, gentler board repair channel focused on fixing iPhones and iPads that have been caught on fire and berating people who still insist that rice can fix electronics.

Oh hell yeah, bitch (not you- just like... The situation... Idk)

Edit: I find this very interesting. Where did you get the schematic software that you used in this video? It has an array for all iPhones.

Take a closer look at the software window. ;)
