You crack them open exactly how I do it 😊 And you are the Portable King!! He knows the portable inside and out better than anyone I know!!

To open welded shut power bricks I've used petrol with good results. Pour some drops of petrol on the seam to weaken it and then try to insert a spudge tool in the gap.
It may discolour the plastic a bit though, at least on "modern" black bricks.
Nitro thinner also works but it's a lot more aggressive and it will melt the plastic if you are not careful.

If you use IPA on the hot glue works great it looses the grip :) Nice going and love your channel ❤

25:02 Those capacitors are made by Nippon Chemi-Con/United Chemi-Con. Most of their caps are good, but watch out for any KZG/KZJ series caps.

Isopropyl alcohol will usually release hot glue

[@skonkfactory]

The best way to get hot glue off is to work a little isopropyl alcohol into it, it takes it right off.

I am just wondering, why the pencils?

[@THEtechknight]

@@charlesdorval394 it's to provide a gap and also to stop the vice from destroying the plastic

I have a question, Why reusing the PCB. When you can use a smaller modern power supply inside ?

[@THEtechknight]

Because i like originality and trying to repair original electronics the best I can. To each their own though. Also, this is meant to be educational for others wanting to do the same thing. It wouldn't be as fun of a video if it was "Lets throw a meanwell in it and call it a day"

[@Irilia_neko]

@THEtechknight but isn't it for a customer ? Otherwise just for the video yes I totally understand
