Your troubleshooting skills are way above the norm, programming as well. I was lost in the cloud as soon as you hit enter on the keyboard🤨 Persistence is one thing but your patience hits well above average, bravo. Thanks for a great video and repair. Enjoy!
Absolutely phenomenal! Your skills are incredible, to be able to diagnose one of the hardest faults and then persevere to find a solution to it you deserve a massive pat on the back. You also deserve A LOT MORE SUBSCRIBERS! Well done again mate
Yup , that was next level . Lost me about 45 seconds into the computer stuff . The faulty component swapping , no problem . When it comes to tech that deep , I just don’t have the skills . Im impressed 👍
Man this is an epic software repair, admiring your determination on finding the source of the problem, thanks for the video, cant wait for the next one, keep it up. 👍
Thanks Vince👍, yes that one wasn't the "run of the mill" repair. Good job I know a bit about software too otherwise this one would have been a fail. I think I spent about 3 days fixing / researching, and then another 2 days editing lol.
@@BuyitFixit Hopefully your countless hours that you put in will save many of these from landfill over the coming years and save the owners from replacing them. Fingers crossed you get rewarded with views!
Just had to watch this un-Bricking one again. Well from 24 mins. Love the tenacity and the fix. I definitely think there is a need for UnBricking videos on here, but I’m guessing most bricked devices are in landfills. Still might be a fun series to do. Going to search in here for Bricked unbricked unbricking😂
46:10 device driver dialog would have been an elevated prompt that the capture software couldn't see. That was a fantastic video mate... I've played with the JTAG stuff on routers and some cheap PTZ cameras and you can certainly get out of a lot of trouble with bad flashes!
Thanks Steve, yes I've played with JTAG too back in the day 😉 also removing chips and hex editing stuff, and reverse engineer software. Not sure if you saw the 'no password, no problem ' video I did or the ultrasound scanner or the recent generator control panel or tractor dashboard video which are along the same lines 🙂
Impressive work! I thought you'd try the SD card firmware update after you got it to boot with the wrong firmware. But your solution was even more impressive. Well done.
Thanks 👍I did consider it, but with it having the 510 firmware on, I doubt it would accept the firmware for what it would think was a different device. The firmware seemed to have an identifier at the start of 513 for this model and 510 for the 510.
Thanks👍, yes I did look for a version of bin walk for windows as I didn't have a VM or linux setup to hand, so ended up using 7zip which seemed to do the trick 🙂
Hella good job, quite the investigation on this one. You should pat yourself on the back, have a drink, or whatever your routine is after a troublesome repair. Hats off to you.
I have to say that was one very impressive fix. You obviously have some good all round fault finding skills and a very good ability to read and follow guides online to get the results you need. Well done on this repair
Thanks Richard 👍I've done a few other ones that weren't so run of the mill too, such as the FLIR thermal camera repair, the solar inverter I repaired in one video and then needed the service password to change a setting which the manufacturer wouldn't give me! Or the RGB laser repair or the Moanacaster podcasting console I looked at too 🙂
Unbelievable job!!! I'm without words... really, very, very, congratulations for your skills and for each video. Thank you very much and have a good weekend!!! from Italy :) (your videos are an incredible inspiration for me).
Mad respect for staying at that... as soon as i saw the firmware was corrupt it would have been binned.. Shame there wasnt an easier way to extract the firmware and flash it again. Reverse engineering at its best :)
Thanks 👍now I've worked out how to do it, it would only take someone a few minutes to install the driver, run the software and hit a few buttons. I'll get the files uploaded soon 🙂
You lost me very near the start but was so intrigued I watched it all. Amazing how you did that. Still not sure what you did but very interesting to watch you work.
A great fix! Your early videos elude to your programming interests, so they came in extremely handy here 😊 it does look as if a firmware update went wrong or something corrupted the data and wiped everything. A great plus with your son having a similar model to get some of the info from too. A great job at getting the info from the files bit by bit, this must have took some hours to fully repair, I used to use PuTTY in the late 90's - 2000's, a great little tool for diagnosing networking errors. Most would have stopped when they found out that the firmware was toast. Loved the in - depth microscope and oscilloscope work, excellent 👏 It gives me more confidence to do more myself now, I have been repairing milwaukee / bosch tools and 2 x 110vac Trend T35 AL, M class dust extraction units in the last few weeks, so thank you for that. Looking forward to the next one 😊👍
Hi! I smile and shake my head. Envious of all that can figure out programing, or whatever it's called. I'm intrigued watching all your fixes, some of which i know nothing about, but wish i understood. Well Done!
@@BuyitFixit You are a fucking genius. I had to install Win XP on an old laptop because I couldn't get the USB pass through to work on a VM, but I installed the driver, .net Framework and did the flash like the video and it unbricked my device. Such a lifesaver!
Astounding and very interesting - thanks! The PC will only pick up the device when the right-hand switch is to the left or the right. The middle position is for recording direct to the SD card. I'm on my second one of these - the first didn't give me any video signal via HDMI, so I returned it for replacement. Turns out that the HDMI lead was faulty, not the device! I should have done as you did and try a different one.
Thanks 👍yes for the PC to detect it normally the switch has to be to the left as you say. However putting it into bootloader mode (hold top button down while plugging into USB) it doesn't make any difference as this is before the switch state is even read 🙂
Hell of a fix! well done Always worth keeping an old 32 bit Windows 7 machine on hand, have run into more than a few pieces of obscure software that need it.
Thanks 👍if you liked this one then check out the RGB laser repair I did or the solar inverter where I had to reverse engineer the password algorithm after I fixed it. Or the medical ultrasound where I managed to unlock a ton of hidden features and made it run DOOM 😂😂
Your Kung Fu never ceases to amaze me, its like watching a virtuoso perform his magnum opus over and over again and words fail me. Riveting !.....cheers.
I really enjoy your channel and how you come to the conclusion to what is wrong with the items you have on your bench. It surely is a lot of experience, pain and suffering to get to that level. Although I have a Bachelors in Computer Science, I would have never imagined it would have been a software problem and it would have been scrapped for it's precious metals... lol As always, Another great fix, or should I say, PROGRAM!
At the point where you'd got it working but the wrong model, I wondered if it would have done a successful FW update using the built-in procedure from the supplied update FW? Saved the work of extracting all that data from the package. Again, a great fix. It seems failed updates are the new shorted capacitors ;) Bit more work to diagnose and fix though, but I guess that's progress for you.
Nowhere NEAR enough likes on thos video. Cracking job mate love that you were able to get the non plus veraion working and then chase down the diffs in firmware to make it work as required. Truly bravo friend!
Amazing skills in fixing that. So not only can you repair circuit boards your able to diagnose a firmware problem, then source the correct firmware and program it.
Thanks👍 yes it was a fair amount of work though, but hopefully when I upload the files and put them in the video description it might help someone else with the same problem 😉
I'm kinda not surprised by a "self-destructing" IC these days, especially with something like this that could be considered usable so many times before things get wiped and a new one needing to be bought (gotta love e-waste). But as you also said that it could've been rendered faulty by the end-user either thinking that an update was done or was in too much of a rush and pulled the plug before the firmware update was finished. At least it can live again and be useful as a spare/backup.
" "self-destructing" IC these days, especially with something like this that could be considered usable so many times before things get wiped " I have often wondered about that . A small countdown timer built into one of the chips and 4 moths outside of the warranty it "breaks "
Fascinating and.unusual. I’m interested to know what path you followed which gave you the knowledge to fix this sort of device. I can see the basic logic of your approach - power supplies, fuses , components but at a loss understanding architecture and firmware. Well done ! A credit to your knowledge and persistence :-)
Thanks 👍I've always been interested in electronics, computers and programming since I was a kid. I remember messing with assembly code back when I had a ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. I've also played around a fair but with things like PIC chips and arduinos.
Quick one for you if you're ever doing stuff like this, plugging in and out usb over and over. I made a little box with a male and female usb a and a 4 pole switch. Just handy little thing to have around and cost me a fiver to make. Save wear on the precious usb port.
chapeau Mick. Wow, really impressed by your analysis skills. One question: once you'd managed to flash the chip with your son's firmware, could you not have upgraded using the SD card rather than having to delve into the files?
Thanks 👍No, when the unit was flashed with 510 firmware, it would only accept firmware for that model via SD, which makes sense to stop you flashing the wrong firmware via SD.
You are a really clever bloke, but totally Jammy too. To be honest, Patients and perseverance are your two Super Powers. Congratulations, you certainly earned this one. As a matter of interest, How long did this one actually take you?
Thanks 👍probably around 3 days. 1 day was the electronics testing, then ordered an adapter which took a couple weeks to arrive. Then a couple of days taking the chip off, putting it back on and searching the internet and messing about with software. Oh and then about 2 full days of editing it all as there was captures from 2 different pcs, and a couple of different cameras and the microscope.
Great fix as always! Its remind me some fault that i had with my phantom drone battery and i had to probe some chip on the battery board and hack the chip with raspberry pi. it was so annoying fail everytime! But it works once and thats all i needed 🎉
Thanks 👍yes I was going to use binwalk as I've used it before but I didn't have a linux machine to hand. I did look at using the windows version but found 7zip extracted what I needed 🙂
Its prety sad when you have to search the bowels of the internet for a 32bit only program from a different device and manufacturer to re flash a gadget because the gadgets manufacturers software doen't understand bootloader mode. Some mad hacker skills there - well done :)
😂😂😂Thanks, yes I was doubtful of repairing this one at first unless I bought another one to read the flash. The good news is that anyone else who has the same problem should be able to flash it quite easily now as I put a link to all of the files in the video description 👍
Great job on the programing Another one fixed , I don't even know what that one is , I thought it was a type of Gameboy for playing games for a teenager ...... Take Care Mon Ami...
Well done mate love watching you do way better, what I do lol love the scope Programming blue my mind Don't normal comment but this was real commitment and intresting 🙂 Thanks
Thanks 👍yes I used a usb to ttl converter. This let's you hook up the TX and RX signals and a GND from the board. You then have to tell putty to use whatever COM port number the computer assigns it and set the baud rate which you may need to try a few. Popular ones are 115200, and 9600. Hope that helps.
Thanks 👍Yes it was a fight alright. I know you can't fix everything as some things are just beyond repair but I did persevere with this one and it eventually paid off 🙂
Thanks 👍Yes sometimes I get stuff that is way out of the norm. Hopefully this helps other people that end up with a similar problem. I did get a message from someone who explained how they "bricked" their unit. They had left the SD card in after an updating, and it was plugged into their PS5 which switched on to do an update, and switched off again while the Avermedia device must have been in the middle of updating itself again from the inserted SD. Result - bricked a like this one was.
Your troubleshooting skills are way above the norm, programming as well. I was lost in the cloud as soon as you hit enter on the keyboard🤨 Persistence is one thing but your patience hits well above average, bravo. Thanks for a great video and repair. Enjoy!

Agreed
I think that’s the most ingenious and well executed repair I’ve ever seen.

Brilliant fix Mick, software fixes are the bane 😁
Thanks Mike 👍
That was a good one most of it go's over my head but enjoyed the fight 👍
Thanks 👍Yes it was a fight alright. I know you can't fix everything as some things are just beyond repair but I did persevere with this one and it eventually paid off 🙂
Wow, you are one persistent Dude! :)
Yes, I don't like to give up on things 😂😂😂

Happy new year Mick, is that USB charger a OnePlus unit?
Thanks mate. The charger is from a DJI drone I think.
Absolutely Amazing Fix.
Thanks 👍Yes sometimes I get stuff that is way out of the norm. Hopefully this helps other people that end up with a similar problem. I did get a message from someone who explained how they "bricked" their unit. They had left the SD card in after an updating, and it was plugged into their PS5 which switched on to do an update, and switched off again while the Avermedia device must have been in the middle of updating itself again from the inserted SD. Result - bricked a like this one was.
4:27 Is that a UART header? I wonder if there's anything neat you could do with that...
Yes, I connected it up and show the output and shell in the video 🙂
You are a true Master 💪
Thanks 🙂👍
