    What a painful job that was! I loved doing it so much I opened it up again because the digitizer cable wasn't properly seated. Check the operation before closing up people. I tried to get some replacement clips, the only ones I found were $16 for a bag of 10 but they were in the US and the shipping quoted was wait for it $139 !!!!! I can buy half a dozen scrap iPads for that and harvest the usable bits and still be ahead. As it stands my iPad now has clips down the sides only. Why Apple designed the thing to have to be dismantled completely just to change the battery is a mystery to me and I'd imagine most folks who don't regard the iPad as a fashion accessory that should be replaced every year.

    Can you use a 7 inch wheel (with the 7/8 arbor) on a 4.5" with a 5/8th arbor. I can only think that the lower RPM on a 7inch may cause the disk to snap or break under the higher rpm (10,500rpm) of a 4.5" grinder? If the 7/8 disk does fit as shown then would a 7inch dust shroud be acceptable for safety purposes while gaining the vacuum feature also??

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow หลายเดือนก่อน

      This sounds like a terrible idea. I can't see how you would fit 7" wheel in place of 4.5" - there is a guard that is way too small, and even if you remove it (terrible idea, again!) then there are just physical dimensions of the tool and ability to hold it without touching larger wheel. Even if you somehow manage to physically mate 7" wheel with 4.5" grinder, your suspicion of rpms causing problems is spot on. Max rated speed of 7" wheel is likely much lower than 4.5" grinder rpms. Overspeeding wheels can crack and shatter, potentially within minutes, and that is not the thing that you want to happen, ever. Just don't do it. If you really need work done with 7" wheel, get a proper grinder, or just rent it out if it's a one-off.

    • @BlossomPainting
      @BlossomPainting หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JustMakeItNow The reasoning behind the inquiry is in the case of not having a rental place or supplier at hand. The arbour can interchange as far as I can see. The 4.5 guard can be switched to a 7inch dust shroud/guard. A variable speed 4.5 at 3000 rpm should meet 7" blade safety. Clearance on the hand is understood. I understand YOU WOULDN"T try this But I was hoping for someone who may have tried. I may be that person .. and of coarse I'll be as careful as can be triple checking so I can send you an update.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      When you say it doesn't shut, do you mean the lid doesn't close all the way, or it doesn't lock in the bottom position? If the former, then it is likely lid hinge (outside the lid) is broken (plastic parts). If the latter, it is likely latch mechanism inside the lid, and there is a good chance that it is not completely broken, but parts are misaligned. If you disassemble it and reassemble it, it might work again without re-fabricating any of the parts.

  • @frankwilson2607
    @frankwilson2607 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Wow that lid has such poorly-chosen materials for the latch-spring mechanism. A heroic effort to repair on your part! Perhaps a sheet of thin stainles or copper going around the back to both pivots would work. Pity the company doesn't offer an updated part under warranty. Imagine tens of thousands (millions??) of these going into landfill💀

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree, with a few spare parts (not to mention slightly better design) a lot of appliances could lead a much longer life. Lid problems are not even the worst ones here, at least these can be reasonably worked around if you're handy. But the parts that are in contact with actual food (well, water here), e.g., level indicator, are almost impossible to repair properly, but could be trivially replaced if parts were available... :(

    When you unplug the battery and check the voltage it is dead so what does kill switch have to do with that, another question what is that ribbon wire that goes from one end of the hard drive to the other, it has a right angle at the end.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The battery is NOT dead, I am talking about it around 22:51+. That's why measuring smart batteries at the connector is not reliable - in this case, unless BMS sees grounded trip wire (orange), it does not send any power out, even though the cells are fully charged. . The ribbon cable connects a daughterboard with the power button (and a couple of ports) to the main board.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, haven't tried that. Contact terminals for that would be on the back side of the mainboard, so not sure how useful that would be even if you'd be able to power it (unless you're OK to run in out-of-case mode). Also skeptical if that would run at all, batteries normally have more functions than just supplying power. Usually there is data bus/HDQ and thermal data pins, though I don't remember if these are in the original iPad.

      This happens, unfortunately, especially with aftermarket batteries. First thing I'd check if the battery cable is seated properly. If no issues there (likely, as you can run on AC), then you can try to do hard reset, which goes something like this: . - Power off - Hold Volume Up and the Power button for 15 seconds. The Surface logo screen may flash, but continue to hold for 15 seconds. - Release the buttons - Wait 10 seconds - Power on the Surface . Also, while on AC, check if battery device shows up under Device Manager in Windows.

    I have a kind of puffed up battery should it try this on that one.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mandatory disclaimer: don't try to operate on visibly puffed up batteries, this is unsafe etc. So the short answer is no. The long answer is also probably no ;) The thing is, I have try to resuscitate puffed up batteries on several occasions, and while they did not blow up in my face (but see disclaimer above), in every single case the cells were pretty much useless. Even if I managed to force them to accept charge, internal self-discharge was so rapid that as soon as I removed charging leads, the battery was draining in a matter of minutes (even without load). On top of that, for the most mobile devices with LiPo batteries you usually cannot even place them inside the case after they puff up enough. So realistically, if it is significantly puffed up - dispose of it. But if it just puffs a little bit it may work out just fine. Pretty much all LiPo cells that were used for some time, even the ones that work just fine, would look a little puffed.

    Hello, first of all congratulations on the video! I was looking for some tutorial to revitalize the battery on my iPad a1337. I would like to know if it is possible to apply this procedure without disassembling the iPad, that is, using the standard iPad connector. My question is because I found it very difficult to disassemble the device as you demonstrated in the other video. Thanks!

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Usually not, because the battery cells connect to the charging circuit that needs to be bypassed. The closest you can get is to keep plugged the device for a few days without turning it on, and hope that it will trickle-charge to a level where it will start charging in a regular fashion. But chances of this working like that are not very high.

    I was given an iPad 1st gen... It shows 4.93v, 0.13a, it doesn't move from 0.13a, no backlight or anything. Is it battery or maybe something else? Don't want to spend too much on this device since it's value is very little. Battery is £16 from aliexpress.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It is most likely the battery. If you're familiar with the device, and it used to work fine and then haven't been used in a while, then it is almost guaranteed that it is just a battery issue. Otherwise, it could be something else, but the chances of that are fairly low. Another issue of concern would be just a dead screen, but this is not a case here as you would see a spike in current on boot up / charging. Right now, it is not charging the battery (based on amperage), this is usually a telltale sign of the dead battery.

    It would have been much better had you made a higher quality video, properly photographed,produced and edited. I think your view count would have been substantially better and would have paid off handsomely given that this is a very popular topic amongst TH-cam home repairs. Get someone to operate the camera and you can focus on the job at hand. The video should still come in under 5 minutes.

    The way you are boosting these is the exact opposite of what you should be doing to an overdischarged cell. The Samsung datasheets and even the TP4056 module lay out the proper way to handle an overdischarged cell 1. 50mA up to 2.50-3.00v. It can take a while after 2.50v so if that’s the minimum of the cell then you can increase the current once you hit that point to 250mA or something like 0.1C max 2. Check to see if the cell holds voltage at 2.50v. If not, it’s self discharging too fast to risk going further. 3. Don’t charge all the way up to 4.20v. Stop somewhere after nominal just to do another self discharge check. 4. If it’s still holding voltage then continue a relatively low current charge to 4.10 or 4.20v. Up to you but I prefer to stop at 4.10v and let them sit. Paralleling cells with a voltage difference is a big no no. It’s good that you aren’t using a full charged cell but the currents you could be injecting into the lower cell can be immense. Thankfully those alligator clip leads are often made with tiny wire and offer tons of resistance but you could still be causing a momentary 5A or more to enter an overdischarged cell. I’ve tested cells at 3V and 4V and using 14AWG wire it would initially start out at 20A before trailing off to 5,4,3A but that’s still wayyy more than any cell should be charged with.

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow ปีที่แล้ว

      First of all, thanks for contributing! I am not sure though why are you saying that what I am doing is the exact opposite of what should be done. When I refer to boosting, I am strictly talking about fooling my smartcharger to accept the cell into pre-charge cycle, which has a cutoff of around 1.5V (don't remember exactly). Once charger accepts the cell, actual charging happens pretty much along the same lines that you posted (precharging with 0.15A till 3V, then switching to a regular charging program as specified), and has nothing to do with the booster cell. Now, while stopping along the way at 2.5V, 4.1V etc for intermediate testing might be fine if you're working with a few cells, but no way I am doing that for several dozens or hundreds cells manually ;) If I'd have a custom charging circuit that would incorporate that logic that would be fine, but no standard chargers that I know of (including RC3000) support that. So it's just not very practical. . Now, paralleling cells is definitely not something that generally should be done, you're right about that. I believe I do talk about it (though maybe in a different video). Now, for the purpose of showing up some voltage on the charger terminals ideally I'd just use a current-limiting power supply, with something like 2V and very low amperage limit, but I didn't have one handy (the lowest I could go was 1A, which was too much IMO). Hence this almost dead cell was used as a voltage booster for a few seconds. So that cell had slightly above 2V (?) to begin with, so no way even with no-resistance leads it would be outputting multiple amps, and you're also right that these leads wouldn't support that either (tested that before). I am pretty sure I even measured short circuit current on the booster cell, and it was pretty low. So while it was certainly not the most robust setup I admit, it was not as bad as you may think :)

      Generally, no. I am sure there are some exceptions out there, but for the most parts cell phones and laptops require somewhat working battery to work, even when all you want to do if use AC power. Battery doesn't need to hold any charge, but is needed to complete the power circuit.

    Seems like every rookie new to this angle Grinder thing has these 5/8 7/8 problems at the beginning until we get the hang of it, Question is there an adapter to extend the grinder out past the guard so I can sand some Ruff paint off my garage while holding the grinder flat against the wall

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't need an adapter, you just need a right cup wheel, e.g. similar to what you can see in the thumbnail (this is for concrete and not paint stripping, but it works flat on the surface). Cut-off wheels (the ones you use on the edge) are not supposed to be used with these types of 4.5" grinders because their regular guards are not designed to cutoff wheels. But for cup wheels that shouldn't be an issue, that's what these grinders are designed for, you just need to find the right wheel for your application. . Or if all you want to do is to strip some loose paint (instead of sanding the wall), you may simply go with some kind of wirebrush, this should do the trick.

      For as long as the new battery is going to function. This depends on battery, usage patterns etc. Can easily be several years if everything goes according to plan, which will probably exceed usable life of the device anyway. If not, replacing it the second time is a much easier procedure (unless you hardglued screen back in :) )

    • @JustMakeItNow
      @JustMakeItNow ปีที่แล้ว

      Touch screen not working (assuming it worked before) is most likely digitizer cable not connected properly. Check it out, digitizer cable is a flat ribbon cable on the left side of the mainboard (if looking top side with screen removed), it needs to be fully inserted into the socket (all the way to the white line on the ribbon) and then latched up in the socket. If it is not fully inserted/latched, touch won't work on all or parts of the screen. . As to why it looks like factory reset, I am not sure. Battery replacement alone shouldn't reset anything, unless you have done something else as well.

      Assuming you don't have your account locked, you can try iPad reset, network settings reset (then connect to WiFi) or you can try to activate via iTunes. Normally, one of these methods should work. If it is not your iPad (e.g. bought second-hand) that you don't know Apple ID for, then it is a different story.

      Well, most of the tablet works, so that's a good sign ;) In your case it is most likely one of two things: either internal display cable is not seated properly in its socket, or the panel itself is dead. Just because it is not visibly cracked and digitizer works doesn't mean LCD panel is functional. I'd open up the case, try to reseat display cables and see if that helps. If not, replace the panel as the hard part (opening up) is already done.
