Repair faulty VTech Kidi DJ Mix that won’t turn on
มุมมอง 8K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
My wife picked up two faulty VTech Kidi DJs on eBay for cheap, both wouldn't power up. After a very quick bit of diagnostics I noticed the pair had a blown SMD fuse (F1) on the power supply PCB and my suspicion is that the motor in the LED light binds and causes the fuse to blow. The solution is to bridge the fuse (or replace it if you like) and my advice would be to cut the motor control wires...

FIX KIA Sportage QLE Mk4 Notchy Steering rack issue
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Mk4 Sportage's are renowned for developing notchy steering (especially at motorway speeds) and it’s normally due to a lack of grease in the steering rack/box. This videos shows you where the dealerships add grease for the technical bulletin. only the smaller undertray/shield in the middle of the car needs removing (4x 10mm bolts) and then you'll need a 10mm ring spanner to remove the 3 10mm bol...
Potential solution to Kia Sportage 7 speed DCT gearbox judder??
มุมมอง 7Kปีที่แล้ว
This “trick” was used in the past on the earlier Kia Souls that had a DCT gearbox. I have no idea if it forces the gearbox ECU to rediscover the bite points or if it just clears some glazing off the plates but it does seem to help.

Thankyou
Is there any way of testing this without taking the head off?
Unfortunately not
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel Forgive my ignorance but I just assumed that checking one of the relevant oil supply holes in the head would indicate if the valve is working or not. The hole should be full, if it were empty then the valve is stuck open?
@@michaelbirchall2247 I guess you could remove your rocker shaft and cam shaft then check.

After having the rear tyres changed at a garage, they must of over Jack the car up one side, it would level on the piss after it had been taken off the jack, had to get it reset
Thanks from Salisbury!
Very informative indeed. Thank you. I just had mine worked on after seeing your video. My mechanic had no idea how to go about it. Cheers!
Thanks for the video, so do you guys think it's a gear box issue at all? I haven't try this method yet .I'm having this issue with my kia gt line s 2019 juddering at start on 1st gear.i have booked a check up at kia let see what comes up.
It’s either glaze on the clutch plates or the ECU on the gearbox doesn’t learn the biting point correctly
Dave, your hack saved me a load of time ... thank you. I also sprayed WD40 on the top coil spring and along the cable .... works perfectly!
thanks to you I saved money,thanks😀
Hello! Can this Diagnostic Tool that you show in the Video, do work with BCB and PEB module in a Renault Zoe? (Electric car). I am going to change the Electric motor in my Renault Zoe Year Model 2019. And then I have to copy the data from the BCB and PEB Module. And then copy in the data after the Elmotor change. So I need to get hold of a Diagnostic Tool that can do this on an Electric Car like the Renault Zoe. Thanks! From Tommy Bertilsson from Sweden
It’s only a diagnostics tool with actuations and VERY BASIC coding with limited support
Thanks a lot !! You saved another Kids Party !!
Just send it back, it's not worth the hassle. I snapped a piece just trying to snap those FN tabs together. JUNK!!!
China taught us wrong. We blast it from top. Been doing it a lot of times. But yesterday, I failed for the 1st time and wasted a print head. Can I still fix it again?
Once the nozzle plate is off it’s finished :(
Absolutely brilliant, thank you
Thanks, my pump has just packed in today on my E90 N43 318i, so will see if I can do it myself.😥
Try ThinkDiag 2 - it has a great support and has lots of special functions for modules. I was working with ThinkDiag 2 on my L322 2010. After that I bought IID Tool and was quite disappointed - mainly because it added not much. ThinkDiag 2 has all the options for air suspension, including calibration. IID Tool is additionally showing height sensors settings (it's a plus). ThinkDiag 2 can calibrate all the modules/sensors that IID Tool can, but the cost is 1/4 of the IID Tool.
Hi i realise this video was a while back but how have the injectors held up?
Hi Chris, I get a little puff on start up on a cold day but other than that they have been perfect.
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel lovely thanks for the reply. Difficult finding any reviews / info on the company and for 5 injectors its a gamble. Thanks for your reply 👍
@@chrislowe6078 I bought 5 in the end 👍
I can't thank you enough. I was pulling my hair out trying to deal with TFL
It's now 2024 and you saved the day good sir.
Sure its tough but will it hold up with constant heat and cold expansion and contracting.
replacing watter pump and termostat on N43 is from top or from bottom of the car? thanks!
I did it from the top
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel thanks! that must be specific for this engine because all sources on youtube showing it from bottom but non on N43. was it difficult? there was no action needed from bottom?
@@mifo1133 I have no doubt you can do it from the bottom, but I did it from the top on a drive way 👍
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel did you replaced termostat and watter pump or just pump?
@@mifo1133 both 👍👍
Hi. Thank you for this video. It helped my key crank flawlessly. Now to figure out why my display doesn't turn on and why the red brake warning is popping up
I thought the CR MAX would work for my DIY Porsche Macan service, but I'm starting to have doubts. I paid $400+ for the device and have noted too many deficiencies. One item I'm dealing with I can actually see the value but can't reset it. I have seen the exact same UI and value with a more expensive Launch 431 that is able to be reset. Frustrating. Do the work before purchase if you want to avoid frustration and get the work done.
Thanks! Fixed! Amazing mate
Excellent thank you I used 2 sewing machine needles to get the connectors out. Great video 👍
Has the camshaft lasted fit it work ok
Did you make a video about replacing the camshaft
I was trying to while I did the job but ran out of hands 🫣
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel How did you get on with it. How’s the can now
@@sleepeasywithwhitenoise3860 it’s all fine 👍
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel You done have the tool I could borrow do you Adam
@@sleepeasywithwhitenoise3860 I do have the locking tool set, they aren't that expensive on ebay :)
This device can diagnose my Maserati Quattroporte for this price. Switched from the 9xx series small iCarsoft tool to CR MAX and it is a great tool, absolutely worth its price.
You are a master of suspense
Thank you. I have the same problem, will try and come back with a reply.
I do not have any red light issues, but I want to use my Gen 1 wall connector to also charge other non-Tesla vehicles. Can I do so just by switching Dip switch 2 down, and without removing any pins? Do you by any chance know whether the same would work on a Gen 2 wall connector? I have both installed at home. Thanks.
Yep just change the dip switch to put it into legacy mode 👍
Thank you. It is work, how did you find this solution? :)
Definitely the best review I’ve ever seen. I was cracking up the whole time but also very useful! Thanks for saving me from further frustration!
I bought it for Christmas and it stoped working after a week, could this be the issue? I changed the batteries. Im having a hard time getting the back to open. But im going to keep watching the video to try and understand it
I dont have an soldering tool but would i be ble to make it work if i just cut the wires to the motor? Idk whats even wrong with it lol 😅
@@misspoofs you need to bridge the failed fuse too.
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel okay thank you I'll get the tool for it and then work on it i hope it works out 🤞🏻
I have a question my regular paper prints on L805 but the vinyl won't
Thank you !! Same Problem solved GLK 2014
Thank you 😊
Can u change it to hand brake
It is a big disappointment. I tried to do a DPF regeneration on a Ford S-max 2010. Guess what? It did not work! Tried programming new tire pressure sensors on a 2016 Mercedes Vito! Guess what? It did not work! In the descriptions it says it does a lot of things, but apart from reading error codes and clearing them, it doesn't do anything else!
Did you access the VITO options via the separate option (it’s not under Mercedes) it’s under the “sprinter” option
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel yes.
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel I got into the Sprinter, I was able to enter 3 codes for the wheels, on the fourth wheel it didn't work, and when I drove the car, the dash light came on again
@@vladdiaconu3004 Any updates?
So, for the even gears, turn the car on, put on R, drive with the rear wheels against the curb, put it on P, turn car off, open door, close door, let the car go to sleep, foot on the break, turn car on, put on R and let the car for 15sec go against the curb, turn back to P, turn car off, that's it? My hyundai i40 has the same gearbox and same "issue", sometimes it shutters, sometimes it doesn't. I noticed when I push the brake hard and let it go en press the throttle afterwards, the shuttering doesn't occur when I start moving forward. But I will try to do this trick!
How did you go?
Perfection 🙏🏼
does it work on 2018+ leaf
Ours is a 2016 and when moving away it has a dull knocking noise when the steering is turned. Is that a similar issue and I suppose what I am asking is would this process stop it ? 66 plate with 65k on it.
WOW WOW WOW! Every time the season changes and those cold frosty morning arrive my dct starts slipping. Dealer had done a re-learn previously which helped for the sort time. Anyhow tried this today and to my surprise it actually seems to have worked. Time will tell for how long. Thanks a million 👍
What is the black plastic piece called that connects to the little spring and holds the metal ball connected to the wire in place ?
One of the plastic prongs that is holding the metal ball in place broke
I’m talking about the plastic pierce that you adjusted the metal hook into?
I’d imagine it’s not available separately
@@DavesDiscoveriesChannel oh ok thank you
Sir I just love you! Thank you! You saved me minimum 500€
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you very much! I only disconnected pin 3 and wired it to earth/0V with 10kΩ resistor - perfect, all working as before.
