If you want to be scammed by them - buy from there, I have been scammed by this site, me and many people, and no one got their money back They take the money and when you say it's wrong with the delivery - fix it yourself Buy from there at your own risk! I'm warning people. The site is known - I don't write it because my comment is deleted automatically!! It's all a lie there. Keep it in mind! Buy the better the more expensive so you don't lose your money completely. Thank you and God bless you!

Thanks for these links, getting into electronics myself building little projects/kits for my son so they're really helpful. AliExpress has some great value stuff

What a poor decision to mixing use of 6-7pin connectors across their cradles / handle pieces. Also the customer service could be more helpful in sending the right 7 pin handle.

As nice as this is, and would suit some people like yourself perfectly. I'm content with stainless steel tumblers. I know everything will fit. I always worry that something I buy won't fit in dedicated holders🤣

Enjoying the channel, I like these ali express suggestions, keep them coming.👍

2:00 I saw these but didn't think too much about the use of them, thanks this would actually be fairly useful for me.

Great video! I've just check price for this laptop in my region - oh man!

Nice for keeping at it, I would've given up early into it. I used to build computers back in the days of win 95 era and mostly software issues was the sticking point but eventually got through it. Today is a little easier with the internet and sharing knowledge but back then it was alot of trial and error until i hit jackpot. Well done getting it working again, just goes to show how easy it was in the end with a software update for the drive.👍

Removing comments that show cheaper ways of buying than your affiliate links.

YT recommended your channel, subbed. I volunteer at a couple of local repair cafes, I strongly suggest you go and visit your nearest. They'll appreciate your knowledge and you'll appreciate theirs. I fixed a tv that wouldn't come out of standby (bad cap on the PSU) and probably had half a dozen people watching. And learning. Now they'll happily tackle a TV as they've seen its really not scary. And help is just a shout away if anyone needs it.

They also sell a vape unit for the rosin, you then smoke it onto the board.

That stuff is called thermal putty. A Brother of the Ali Express :D

Great video! Can you link to pen screwdriver pls?

Atorch DL24P is better

19:33 that gunky stuff is thermal putty, it is used instead of thermal pads as it works quite a bit more efficiently than pads. a good replacement would be upsiren ux ultra pro. a review of this putty: th-cam.com/video/raHKGnJ4LYM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KWO6UqFlsD7VngTy

13:08 instead of that plunger, I can recommend the 10cc manual syringe gun by vmatic they sell on that same site.

Where can I get the diagrams you have? I have the same laptop, same problem, but different motherboard.

I enjoyed the video, but it was a bit disturbing when you ground the rosin and IPA in kitchen equipment used for food.

one more great video. Well done. You can make some videos about microscopes and cameras (that can be attached to the microscope). Also, mid range thermal cameras would be another great item that needs attention. I am planning to start my channel as well. I need to organize the room/space first. Keep doing your great videos. ( by the way, the sound has been improved since last time ) Ares from London

As I can see we have the same soldering station. That is an Atten model isn't it? Great video by the way. I am new in electronics even if I have a degree in electrical engineering. Well done for your video sir. Keep going :)

Can you increase the voltage and/or wattage and/or amperage while you have the leads connected to a pcb or another device? It looks a promising device/ Does it come with 2 or it comes with 4 channels only? Cheers

It is bloody annoying that that ring on the lens also lit up , wrap black tape around that would be the first thing i would do 😝😝👎👎👎👎

Have you got another super IO chip ?

🎉

On one of Sorin's videos he had exactly the same problem with the same or similar Acer Nitro laptop which turned out to be a drop of water which went through a plastic vented area which didn't cover that particular chip (Super IO) - Strangely enough it was the only chip exposed to air due to the design of the back plastic cover. He reflowed it and it worked. You may have to get in real close to see if any of the chips have water damage.

no good

Moreover, if you could can improve the sound that would be great. The sound is poor and there I have to increase the volume on my speakers to hear you very well. Cheers.

You did a lot in this video. Did you check all the rails for shorts? A lot of these gaming laptops have a shorted or dead super io, gpu, or cpu which kills them.

Hi mate, I like the probes that you have.Where did you get them from, and how much do they cost? And the Hanteck Lab Power Supply it looks trustworthy I am electrical engineer and I have started to get involved with electronics ( I used to hate it)😆. Excellent video by the way. Well done. Ares from London

Nice Haul

Watch this for a thermal camera: Guide IR PC230, it starts up very quickly has fluid video and works perfectly. Bench multimeter: Vici vc8145. Maybe not the most beautiful but cheap and a very fast diode/beeping mode. Accurate enough for laptop, motherboard repairs Kester for solder and chip quick for flux Maybe some uv mask and uv curing lamp will come in handy.

Elikliv just came out with a version of this microscope that has autofocus. Would you say it's worth it? How is the focus on this model?

Looks like a fairly decent PSU The only _feature_ of any significance that is missing is that it doesn't seem to have '4-wire' (kelvin?) mode on each channel. (4-wire mode is quite useful for me to eliminate voltage droop on the cabling if the load is quite heavy). I'd like to see you perform a 'load test' on this PSU across the FULL output voltage range. Some PSUs don't do a very good job of regulation when the output is low voltage at max current! Also, I'd like to see you test how many taps there are on each channels transformer winding. My PSU uses 10VAC, 20VAC and 30VAC (nominal). The more taps it has, the less heat needs to be dissipated internally at the lower end of each winding. (Imagine setting it to 12VDC at the full 3A. It uses the 20VAC winding giving you 20 * 1.414 = 28V input (nominal) into the series regulator.. At the full 3A, this means the series regulator needs to dissipate the difference (28V - 12V = 16V) at 3A so it's wasting 48W as heat! More transformer taps -> less internal heat generation. (The _NEXT_ PSU I build will have winding taps every 5V)

980 pro owner myself. That version had a bad firmware! make shure it is on latest version!!!! if on Latest, everything is fine :)

980 pro owner myself. That version had a bad firmware! make shure it is on latest version!!!! if on Latest, everything is fine :) I think you had a BitLocker encryption problem. because you did not have the org. ssd. you needed to create a new windows boot manager in bios. And was what you did in a workaround way :) Glad it worked for you!

Those wires from the set of plugs connectors are quite thin and I don't know how will handle high current

tnx for this one, cuz I gonna buy now in the future.

You can remove the pins by desoldering the pin and pushing it out of the housing.

Drill for the 7th pin. I am using this way on the t380. By the way t115 has 20k resistance on pin 1 and 7th. 7 is middle

1:50 "Programmer". I think it would be quite interesting to have a dabble at E-Bike controllers, the typical generic Chinese type. I know many that would benefit on knowing how to. Interesting channel, I came for the screwdriver, staying to see what else you do. 👍

i'm waiting the repair videos 😋😋

For the T115 6-pin vs 7-pin: I just checked on my model and my right-side base holder does have a 6-pin female connector to connect to the 6-pin male connector of the T115 handle. I did have an issue with Aixun at first where they sent a different tip-cleaner than I ordered (I received the metal bristle thing instead of the brass wire with splash guard). It took a bit of back and forth with Aixun, and at first they sent the wrong part (the white plastic connector to join the two handle holders), but after I sent them pictures circling and pointing to what was missing they sent the right part. I'm pretty sure the problem is due to computer translation from English to Chinese.

For the Aixun station: with the smallest handle (T115), unless I'm wrong and they do have a differently sized holder (and I could be wrong) it just doesn't 'dock' with the same feel as the other two handles due to how small and tapered the end is. You can still dock it to the holder, and as long as metal touches metal it can tell it is docked and go to low power mode, but as an alternate way (or it might be the primary way) to hold the T115 handle you can hang it from the little wand holder thingy. That's what the metal 'bulb' is there for further up on that handle, and why it is only on the T115 handle. On that electric screwdriver: I like that it is variably responsive just from an easy hand motion. Good and easy speed control is great to have. On TH-cam and when to release videos: if this is for personal hobby purposes, don't sweat it and just publish videos when you feel like it. That's where I am, my releases are random and infrequent, but I'm not looking to 'make it' on the platform. If you specifically want to 'grow the channel' and pursue a goal of, say, making money from the ad revenue or be in a position to find sponsors, then a set schedule as a baseline is best. Figure out what pace of videos you feel is sustainable for you, if reasonable to do so then have your 'release schedule' be a tad slower than that (specifically for the purpose of building up a backlog of 1 or 2 videos so you can still release on schedule even if you have a mental block or are sick or have family stuff do do). Weekly is a fairly common baseline for channels looking to grow (not saying you can't release videos more often if you want, but letting your audience know there consistently will be a video on X day of the week is a good reminder of 'oh, hey, it's day X, JFIXX will have a new video out'. Scheduling release at the same time of day is also good so your audience knows when to check in. Also, building a video backlog will leave you in a position of being under less pressure overall - feel really creative and make 3 or 4 videos in a week? Great, you're set for a while. Don't have the mental energy to make a video for 2 or 3 weeks? Your backlog has you covered and you can still release on schedule.

Would be good if you could do a side by side with a flagship phone camera with microscope app. I use a galaxy z fold 2 and works just as good as what you've shown here as far as magnification goes. I can't justify spending more money on another device.

Set up looking pretty great 👌 quality and filming of your videos already good, don't worry about schedules - just put out good quality as you have been when you can. Definitely have the same microscope from your previous video on my list, seems to have a lot of bang for buck and form factor is what i've been looking for. Keep up the good work.

Do you think it's much better than the traditional 861/862?

Video from 12:46 is from Elikliv EM4K Flex microscope?

So, you were asking about equipment suggestions - as of the time of me finding this video you have already covered your microscope, so I'll skip that. First: for everything on your list, if you are willing to not need any specific model, keeping an eye on eBay is a GREAT way to pick up high-quality bench gear for cheap. It's how I got much of my equipment. Soldering iron: I used to use the Hakko FX888d and that worked for me, but Louis Rossmann made a compelling case that even knock-off new generation soldering stations (heating element in iron tip / cartridge system) are massively better than previous gen (like my referenced FX888d - uses a ceramic heating element and the soldering tip is a sheath you slide over the heater). I have since bought the Aixun T420D which is one of the higher-end Chinese JBC style clones (not cheap), I also use the Pinecil v2 as my field-portable iron and it works well for me (actually used it earlier today when visiting my parents: one of their cats had chewed through a power tool charger and I fixed it for them). The Pinecil (really, most things on the Pine store) is priced to make it very available - $26 + S&H. There is also a really interesting project going on that started on the EEVBlog forums: the AXXSolder project is a DIY JBC-style iron you can build yourself, the bill of materials is on their GitHub page. Hot Air station: I, like many others, use the Quick 861DW. There are other units out there, you can pick up an old Hakko on eBay for instance, but I like the interface and features. It has worked well and reliably for me. There are a bunch of clones out there for cheaper and will often just say '861DW' instead of 'Quick 861DW', be aware of potential quality issues if you get a clone (take it apart and look for bad solder joints basically). Flux/solder brands? There are so many fluxes out there that work fine. I use MG Chemicals 8341, as for solder I use Kester rosin-core 63/37 and that works fine for me. Power supply: I got a GW Instek GPD-3303S for I think around $140 on eBay, and it's been great for my primary bench supply, but in this case that is not a recommendation. There are SO MANY perfectly fine to great options in this space, I advise just browsing eBay for anything from HP / Agilent / Instek / Kikusui / any other quality brand. If you are willing to trade off some time/patience spent you can (cheaply) get an older, but perfectly functional unit that was made to VASTLY higher standards and quality compared to anything no-name new on Amazon or Aliexpress. Thermal camera: China mass produces a quite good 256x192 thermal sensor and many brands use it. I have the Hikmicro B20 and am happy with it, but many make a thermal camera now around that sensor, so I'd shop around, probably on Aliexpress and try to find reviews you trust (not on Aliexpress) to guide how you spend your money. Bench meter: similar advice as with the power supply: patience watching eBay. The 'gold standard' cross-section for amazing quality bench meter and reasonable cost is the venerable HP/Agilent 34401a. It is a 6 1/2 digit meter first introduced in 1991 iirc and you can get them now on eBay for sub-$400. I have 2, my first I got for $330 on eBay and the 2nd I grabbed when I saw it at a local industrial auction house (got it for just over $100). The most common user experience downside is the VFD display has a tendency to get a bit dim over the decades. They can be replaced, but it is an issue I wanted to mention. It is actually that issue that is the reason I am more comfortable on a day-to-day basis using the less powerful (5 1/2 digit) GW Instek 8255A (the screen is brighter and the individual display lights are wider on the VFD) - it was just another ebay find for a price I decided not to pass up. Oscilloscope: I do have a specific recommendation here: The Rigol DHO804. It is a new scope, Android OS based, 12-bit signal processing, touchscreen and very physically small and light. It is also hackable and there is a VERY large and active forum thread on EEVBlog working on this. Basically you can buy their low-end 804 and load different firmware to get better frequency range and other goodies. It also has a VESA mount so you can put it on a monitor arm (which I have done - I actually got the DHO914 because it looks sexy with the black case and has some other features I was looking at). Signal generator? Eh, if you think you'll need one. Same eBay advice, these are available for very cheap as they are reasonably simple devices. I got a fairly modern Owon brand for under $100. Oh, and some of the Rigol DHO series do have integrated arbitrary waveform generators, though the cost goes up. Misc stuff: we always seem to accumulate so many different test leads and probes. You need different test leads for different situations (needle probes, grabbers, kelvin-clips...) - I'd start out with an el-cheapo amazon/aliexpress kit to cover your basics, probably get one nice set of name-brand leads for your daily-driver (fluke / pomona / probemaster / hirschmann / mueller). I found a nice pomona test lead and probe kit (again, on eBay) for a good price that I grabbed. Then pick up various different leads / probes / adapters / heads as you come across a specific need. Nice stuff to have / other stuff: The Omnifixo. It's on my to-get list and I believe it to be the best-designed set of soldering helping-hands out there. Parallel non-marring spring jaws, magnetic swiveling arms, well thought out bit of kit. An electronic load. Let you test power supplies under load and make sure they work. Lots of models out there. For making TH-cam videos: I just use my phone camera: they have gotten really good over the years and I feel that a phone camera + a lav mic works just fine. I still haven't gotten a lav mic that works... shame on me... Stand/mount: I currently use a mix going back and forth between a tripod and a magic arm - they do work, but I am starting on a project to make the camera mount Adam Savage came up with, which I really think is the new gold standard for this situation: 3/4" Loc-Line adapted to be the arm for a camera holder on one end and a clamp on the other. Look up "Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Smartphone Camera Rig!" on TH-cam and you can see him making it. A bunch of different people have adapted this idea and made slight variations for themselves, also findable on TH-cam and other sites. Microphone: DJI is generally accepted as making an excellent lav mic, but they are expensive and there are tons of options out there. Capture card: don't have much advice here since I don't use mine much - I just got an el-cheapo no-name from Amazon for a single instance where I wanted to use one. Edit software: I rarely use it, but when I do I use Blender. That's just me though, and I was looking for something specifically that would work with my system since I run Linux and not Windows or Mac.

Very nice, looks like a quality organizer. I know I spent what felt like forever looking through all sorts of desk organizers I could use for this purpose, but everything I came across meant for the purpose just didn't fit my needs well. Ended up getting a few cheap wire-basket organizers and one of them (in combination with some tall orange pill bottles) ended up working OK for me. I don't think I came across this product in my search however. I'm considering what you have now, might upgrade. It looks like (given the adjustable height of the trays) one option would be to clamp/bolt/screw the base plate to the underside of a desk, allowing us to swivel the tools away when we want to make use of that extra bit of space and not have the tool holder in the way. Also, I love seeing other people's electronics benches, thank you for making these videos and sharing your build-up process.

Thank you for the review. Can the optic be tilted upward? If so, can the screen be tilted in orden to remain vertical? Does it have a photografic stand screw inlet?
