Well done Vince! This was my radio you bought from me! I had no idea it was water damaged & I’m not sure how it got wet in the first place! It just didn’t work one day! I was watching your battery repair video and saw the thumb and thought no way, I recognised the box at first, then the eBay description! I’m glad you’ve fixed it, it was a good radio and not very old either, shame I apparently ruined it! Cheers!
Haha, cheers for commenting Christian. Well it did look perfect on the outside. It is living a new life now with my friend who builds garden rooms. Amazingly it is still working!!!! Fingers crossed he'll get a few more jobs out of it yet. Thanks for watching the vid and selling the radio. Quite a few people have enjoyed this one 👍👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince glad someone’s getting some use from it after your determination and stupid amounts of time to fix it! Fingers crossed those trace repairs and via’s hold out 🤞🏻 well done and keep up the good work!
Excellent work as always! Honestly, for a 120 quid construction site radio the board should’ve been drenched in conformal coating. Your nail polish most likely will make this thing more durable than the factory version.
Destroying one tool to make another, is the kind of improvisation we've come to love from Vince. This, along with others you do, is really what makes the videos worth the watch. Thanks for the content :)
Hello, Vince, Instead of routing those wires around the side of the board, I usually plug the wire into the damaged via and solder it to the trace on both sides.
Class D is right up my alley. Thank you Vince as I was stunned to see my channel pop up. Your troubleshooting skills are getting better and better so keep up the great content!
Amazing perseverence Vince. Hat's off to you on this one. Really great to watch. I reckon most fixers would have just thrown in the towel after a couple of hours. Maybe you could coat the board in something like Dinitrol or Waxoyl to keep future moisture out and prevent any more board corrosion? I don't think conformal coating would be a good idea at this stage as it may lock some tiny amounts of moisture in, but maybe anything that prevents corrosion and is non conductive would work - hence the car water barrier product suggestions..
VINCE its 2:53am here in Botswana and i can't stop watching your video's... I know you say don't try this at home. But trying what you doing it has improved my skills in electronics.. Just last week I've know idea how to fix but i think in weeks i will be like you.. Keep it up my brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👍
Very impressive! So, is the bottom line, a device designed for an outdoor building site . . . that's utterly NOT waterproof? Bravo at getting it working again!
I give you an A+ for perseverance fixing all the rust damage. It is amazing how much things cost in the UK as compared to the USA. Most thing in a broken state are given away for free.
What a ride! The problem with electronics and corrosion is not that the water is directly corroding it (which it would given enough time) but the fact you have traces with voltage and ground are close together and an electrolyte (the water). So when water (not distilled but water with some mineral content) comes in contact with voltage and ground, the copper traces will corrode. So if you ever get anything wet, the first thing to do is remove all power sources to prevent electrolysis from eating the traces and they clean and dry the board. So it would make sense that the voltage regulators would be the components affected the most since the leads are exposed and voltage and group and usually close together. Love the videos!
What an amount of effort, wow. Finally you made it. Halfway the video I was thinking of reusing the case and speakers to build your own version with a RasbPi and an amp. Most creators don't do this and actually why not? Why 3D printing if someone else have made it for you already. Most people toss this away when it is not functional. It is a nice project box with plenty of space inside. I know you fixed this device however it is something to think about to reuse faulty devices for your own projects.
Since discovering your channel and binge-watching, I find myself humming the opening tune while trying to repair stuff myself. On the good side, you inspired me to try my hand at such repairs. So it evens out :-)
Nice one Vince. Something you said when you were testing it at first made me laugh out loud, "good, its not working". That is exactly what I think when I have bought something tech form a car boot sale! I want that feeling of fixing something even if its not going to be useful. Good luck, Allan
So well done. It’s about intelligence and keeping at it. I would like to think I know when to cut and run but only after a real fight to make something work. So far at 53 I can’t remember when I have lost the fight! Keep it up. Very enjoyable!
2:10 I had that "problem" today. I found a lot of slightly older phones with the newest one being an iPhone X sold as bulk for 80€ for local pick-up. They were sold as broken/untested with some of them turning on from someone working at a house clearance company. The faults that were listed were incorrect but I think I ended up with a lot of useful repair parts anyway.
Hello wins I love your channel I am a blind user from Iceland I love listening to A repair videos specially your videos you are awesome TH-cam creator keep the good work going shout out to UK☺️🥰😈🇮🇸
Thank you car thief. I was in Iceland in the summer of 2021. Really want to go back again, I think it is the friendliest place I have been too, really reminded me of Ireland. We all loved it 👍👍👌
Well that's a lot of hard work just to take it apart i'll give you credit for not giving up so easy this is why i love this channel because you don't give up so easy no matter how big the challenge is.
Sherlock Vince has done it again! That sound when Vince turned fm on was like from old football game when you score goal and crowd starts cheering, that was atleast my reaction. I was so bumped! Vince you are my hero and i have learned lot from you, and seen your deveploment over the years, i have also slowly started to understand more and more about electronics and i have no kind of education of that sort. World would be much nicer place if there where more nice inspiring mates like you. Cheers from Finland and keep up the brilliant work! :)
Oh haha, by the way thanks for playing the relaxing sounds of TheCod3r 🤣 I didn't actually watch the entire video earlier, just came back and finished it and a few people in the stream mentioned it to me lol
I rescued the non dab version from a builders skip, once I had spent about an hour removing plaster & paint, I discovered the mains lead had a break in it, works well with a new mains lead fitted. The two AA batteries are for memory backup, but they run down within a couple of weeks!
Well done. I repair anything I can get my hands on, after about 4 hours I lose the plot and file away for a later date. I preferer desktop computers as laptops drive me insane. I will not touch APPLE products for repair ( I confess I have a ipad and iphone 12) but I wont look inside for any price. I am a retired computer tech and engineer. Your thought process is very logical and refreshing to watch. Keep the vids coming most enjoyable.
That's was an incredibly amount of water damage. I can easily see the amount of time gone into this one. It was nice to see the Dremel get some use as well. Well done Vince!
This one was intense, I would of given up when it got to the front to back board bridges. My main thoughts were the amp drivers reprogrammed because of the water. But anything goes with electronics. Well done!
Hello Vince I just subscribed your channel. I love watching your fix videos and it's cool your learning how to fix these things lol. I'm from across the pond they say lol USA. God bless you guys in the UK take care.😎
Something to look out for on these Milwaukee radios is the white gunk they use to stop the capacitors from moving around can sometimes cover a small surface mount fuse.
I've kept all the cheap screwdrivers I got for prezzies over the years and modify them like that when I need to. Like you get screw with a slot but its got a bridge preventing you from using a normal flat. So I took a flat and just made a gap with a dremel. WIN!
I think I would have given up repairing it at many points that you showed in this video. What a rollercoaster of a repair job was this, I thought you got it with the first broken track, then it still didn't work which is the point I definitely would have given up man. However, good for you that you've managed to fix it.
Hey Vince, coming at you from the US just wanted to say you’ve inspired me to work on some of my own broken things at home and I’ve managed to actually fix them!! I love the long videos and I will never work on them but your watch and mechanical videos (like the old school toys) are my favorite. Thanks for all you do, I’ll have to have a few pints and make my way towards your patreon page
Wow Wow Wow. What a great video. Swaping those components and then funding that break I thought amazing work then it went next level. Worth the time for the vid as I apsolutely loved it. Thanks
First time I needed a tork screwdriver so large was 5 years ago. I bought one 25cm large (I needed it for a 10-12cm deep hole). I used that tool maybe 3 times since I bought it. About the nail varnish, I used it many times as solder mask and to deal screws. If the surface is clean, it will stick and stay there. It dries very quickly and with acetone is easy to remove. Also, note that it breaks easy enough to remove it when scratch but but also hold well wires, screws and cover well any clean surface.
"Gel" nail polish/varnish is literally identical to solder mask, except that it's 1/3 the price and comes in 200 colours. Non-gel varnish is basically lacquer.
HI vince, Very Well Done and credit to you. Really enjoyed watching that as I'm a big Milwaukie fan, wouldn't of cared if the video lasted 2hrs. Keep up the great work. Mick 👍👏🍻
When I have issues with vias I usually shove the wire through them and solder it to the traces that way. It looks neater and you use a lot less wire for the fix.
Fantastic work! That was clearly a daunting fix, I like how you stuck in there and kept at it until you found the faults. Regarding the broken vias, what about if instead of having enameled wire connect wrapping around to the other side of the board, you stripped the enamel from the magnet wire and fed that through the broken via and connected through the via itself with the thin enameled wire?
Thanks Dave. Unfortunately it was cut from the video BUT these vias were filled with the green solder mask. I needed a tiny drill bit that I didn't have. I did poke one through with a needle but it took quite a bit of time so I resorted to running wires instead. Cheers Dave👍👍👍👍
For the torque bits I would recommend a torques allen key set. It helps a TON for stuff like this and I surprisingly relied on it the most when working on industrial and household equipment like induction hobs, fridges, motors, etc.
It's TORX, not "torque".... sheesh! Furthermore, there is no such thing as a " torques allen key set". They are completely different fasteners, Torx is Torx and Allen is Hex.
@@johncoops6897 my bad lol. I haven't actually googled or went and looked cause I use my father's. I've always known them as "torques" set because they're pronounced like that. Plus Allen key sets. Thought you'd call them torque Allen key sets haha. Thanks for telling me tho.
Oh goodness Andy, those experiences sound shocking but unfortunately I had a few similar issues myself. Some of the points you raised I also had, like payment schedules, getting their insurance details, quality of build, attention to detail and generally keeping the site tidy. Mine did get completed but not without a fair few problems that I am still dealing with, for example a leaking shower and a heating system that won't switch off. Though this is only phase one of the project, I'm really not looking forward to phase two and I will definitely use a different builder.
28:01 CMOS means that there is some kind of a programmable part inside. It has some software inside. 8-bit is describing the architecture of the CPU (like 32 or 64 bit on a PC). MCU is the short form of micro controller unit. 12-bit A/D converter is an analog to digital converter. The 12-bit kind of describes the speed of that part. It converts analog inputs (e.g. an audio wave) to something digital the CPU can understand.
CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. It is the type of semiconductor devices fabricated on the chip. The MCU as you correctly point out identifies it as being something that can be programmed.
12-bit does not describe the speed, but the resolution of the converter. Thus the analog input voltage to it is represented as a digital value with a range of 12 bit (= 4096 values). A linear 12-bit resolution is too inferior for decent audio quality, thus the converter likely is used to convert something else, presumably it reads the output voltage of the big potentiometer for the volume control setting knob (as the volume control is really done by the digital IC close to the output amp, which is controlled by the MCU).
Crikey that was a journey and a bit to bring it back to life. Glad it was giving you some positive feedback on the way through though; enough to keep you hooked to persist for the finish line. Abolutely right, under a normal repair hourly type job, that would have been a non-economical, but of course here on TH-cam we don't care :D
Completely correct Paul, it was giving just enough to keep me interested! I was definitely relieved when it finally worked, hopefully it will stay working once it is put back in the wild. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Never miss the opportunity to acquire a new tool however specialised. 😀 word to the wise ... if you are about to work on some Dyson vacuums then they need very long torx screwdrivers. Regardless, well done... persistence rewarded 🥇🏆
Hee hee, I ran into the same problem. I often get Ryobi tools in need of repair (made by the same parent company [TTI] as Milwaukee) and I didn't have the long screwdrivers either. Had to order some longer bits off Amazon as well. And it's not just Torx, I think, it's the security bit ones. The one thing is that at least for most stuff made by TTI that they do have disassembly diagrams and can mostly get parts for them (not always cheap, though).
Great repair but if a plated through via hole is open circuit instead of running a wire all the way along from one to another all you needed to do was thread a strand of wire through the hole and solder each side it's nice and quick and looks neat.
NorthridgeFix has a good tip for the solder mask on one of his videos, hit it with hot air while using the UV light and it sets within seconds. Might be worth a try for the next repair.
Just get a better UV light. The 400nm UVA is barely short enough. Try a 365nm UVA. Mine will overheat the resin in less than 2 seconds if I hold it close. I have to keep it back a few inches or turn it on a lower power setting.
I had one of those run across my bench one time. Same problems. It was an exhausting tear down and the voltage was very difficult to trace to the problem.
Fantastic work and great persistence - I'm sure not the first one, but may I suggest to use the youtube free audio library for demonstration purposes. In my opinion this would improve you videos in terms of completeness.

Crikey that was a journey and a bit to bring it back to life. Glad it was giving you some positive feedback on the way through though; enough to keep you hooked to persist for the finish line.
Abolutely right, under a normal repair hourly type job, that would have been a non-economical, but of course here on TH-cam we don't care :D
Completely correct Paul, it was giving just enough to keep me interested! I was definitely relieved when it finally worked, hopefully it will stay working once it is put back in the wild. Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
I was losing hope watching video, I can only imagine how much time you lose hope... Well done Vince 🥂
I bet the best feeling you had was all the time you spent wasn't wasted in repair. Fantastic repair well done.
Very well done Vince.
A really valiant effort - and with no schematic! Well done.
I've learned a lot from this guy thanks also for not giving up!
Never miss the opportunity to acquire a new tool however specialised. 😀 word to the wise ... if you are about to work on some Dyson vacuums then they need very long torx screwdrivers. Regardless, well done... persistence rewarded 🥇🏆
Hee hee, I ran into the same problem. I often get Ryobi tools in need of repair (made by the same parent company [TTI] as Milwaukee) and I didn't have the long screwdrivers either. Had to order some longer bits off Amazon as well. And it's not just Torx, I think, it's the security bit ones. The one thing is that at least for most stuff made by TTI that they do have disassembly diagrams and can mostly get parts for them (not always cheap, though).
Cheers Michael 👍
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth😉
Great repair but if a plated through via hole is open circuit instead of running a wire all the way along from one to another all you needed to do was thread a strand of wire through the hole and solder each side it's nice and quick and looks neat.
I just came to say the same thing.
Well done, you're getting better, that one was a good one for A+ ;)
Thanks technixbul 👍👍👍👍
NorthridgeFix has a good tip for the solder mask on one of his videos, hit it with hot air while using the UV light and it sets within seconds. Might be worth a try for the next repair.
Just get a better UV light. The 400nm UVA is barely short enough. Try a 365nm UVA. Mine will overheat the resin in less than 2 seconds if I hold it close. I have to keep it back a few inches or turn it on a lower power setting.
Nice one, That was a lot of work , well done 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks AR👍
well done mate perseverance is the key thats how all of us learn
you are very good,logical thinking,admiration
I had one of those run across my bench one time. Same problems. It was an exhausting tear down and the voltage was very difficult to trace to the problem.
Glad for you. Nice fix
Comeon on vince, keep pumping out the content
Fantastic work and great persistence - I'm sure not the first one, but may I suggest to use the youtube free audio library for demonstration purposes. In my opinion this would improve you videos in terms of completeness.
my dad owns one thanks for taking apart .
Hi good job done well done 😎👍
