    It's good to hear someone tell the trick with the screws. It seems obvious but many don't know it.

      Some screws are also twin threaded with one being bigger than the other so even after locating the original thread if it seems tight rotate another 180 degrees and it will go in easier

      I thought it was just the right thing to do, by forcing the screws I knew the thread would get damaged.

    Absolutely amazing. Very little people know that the electrolytic capacitor for driver chip fails often and the symptom is that the PSU shuts off at high load or fast increase in load.

  • @littleal350
    @littleal350 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    In my experience you tend to get dry joints on the heavier components. Something to do with the flow soldering being set up for the smaller components, the biger ones don't get enough heat to solder properly as they conduct the heat away much quicker. Also sometimes the heavier components will cause a track break if the device has been dropped due to their higher weight ( the inertia of the component can crack a track on the pcb, if the device receives a heavy impact )

  • @gordonwelcher9598
    @gordonwelcher9598 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank You.
    This is a really complete description.
    Even how to put the screws in.
    So many people rethread the screws and ruin the holes.
    It is not nice to go around ruining all the holes that you find.
    You don't want to make it too loose for the next person.

I try to do that with everything I attempt to fix, from cars to lawnmowers to outboard motors

      This is very common and a trap for beginners. If you repair electronics, a good ESR-meter is a must. I normally use a component tester from ELV called KT200. I does a XY-scope-kinda test for type (i.d. for a capacitor you get a circle etc.) and is also includes a simple but good ESR-meter: th-cam.com/video/QqL3ffgdfH4/w-d-xo.html
      A better capacitor tester is eg. the DER EE DE5000 for about 120$.

    I really like you diagnostic ability, that is everything when it comes to fixing anything, a TV, a Car, you have to know how to test stuff. I just learned something today, I don't have to remove a Cap to test it!
    I'm going to make me that little ESR tester... I have all the stuff I need in my Used Parts Section.... Lol I Always suspect Caps, I work on old CD radios from time to time, the first thing you do is re-cap the radio and get rid of all of those OLD Gray 10v caps that are 25+ years old.... After that you can checkout other issues if any. Solder joints are another issue in the old stuff..Lol
