The Macbook A2141 (and A1990) are by now well know for their 2V5 NAND VREG failure issues and 90% of the videos on the internet are about those failures. This video is indeed about an A2141 but its "No power" state was not because of the dreaded 2V5 NAND VREG issue for a change, in fact there were multiple potential issues in this machine, including a future VREG failure ;)

This is the first edited video using the new Intel A380 AV1 encoded capture data, hopefully there'll be an improvement in the microscope content quality.
