An independent repair shop in Germany recently invented a tool called Nerd.Tool.1, which can bypass the anti-repair lock on Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and install related sensors by itself. .
Developed by Stephan Steins of Notebook Nerds repair shop, this tool allows independent repair shops to replace damaged display angle sensors on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
Previously, when repair shops encountered such failures, they could only hand them over to Apple officials for replacement. The important reason was that after replacing parts, they needed to be “calibrated” with designated equipment, and only Apple can perform this step.
Note: The display angle sensor is responsible for detecting when the notebook is closed, and also detects the screen status to put the notebook into sleep state. If this sensor fails, the screen will remain open even if the laptop is closed, draining the battery and keeping the fan running, shortening the computer’s battery life.
The Nerd.Tool.1 tool can be recalibrated after replacement without going through Apple, allowing repair technicians to replace it themselves.
