Overnight from Japan? The price of shipping has gotten insane. I paid $28 to get a couple of 50-cent laptop MOSFETs in 4 days from China to my home in Thailand. The alternative was delivery in October. Nice easy fix.
Congrats on the most cringeworthy episode yet! I have my doubts on that double-sided tape though. When Hector has so much torque that his chassis twists coming off the line, that VR just might turn loose. As it does, he’ll be screaming MONICAAAH!
Hello I saw your amazing technique So I'm fixing the autometer now too. The transistor is broken. Does this part number look familiar to you? CEN901ECB, no matter how much I look, I don't know.
@@jeffescortlx Sorry, thanks for the reply, the fix is AutoMeter sport conmp 3904,I was going to fix a bad film capacitor, but I accidentally cut that part😞
Put a diode in series with the power input wire, stop your frend reversing the power polarity. Only 0.7v drop. (The regulator wont care and 700mv will lighten the regulator dissipation). Sorry im being obvious again!.
@@jeffescortlx i was going for the typical cause of death, people reversing power for a split second before realising there mistake. People often don't tell the whole truth untill you give them a list of causes lol. Browning around the regulator pcb?, too hot, ouch!, alternator outputting way higher than 14 volts, too much for the regulator to dissipate the heat. You could be right about inductive kickback, but it would have to be a large inductor, like the coil in a large relay. But a catch diode would have to be across the relay coil to stop hell breaking loose 😀 There should be few capacitors on the regulator input down to negative, that should absorb most spikes. Sorry im saying the obvious, ill shut up lol.
@@zx8401ztv vehicles are full of large inductors, besides relays and solenoids: starter motor, electric radiator fan, electric water pump, fuel pump, power windows, power locks, windshield wipers. I believe typically the accessory circuit is briefly disconnected from power while the starter motor is turning. But many people when they modify a car with aftermarket electronics they don't wire into the accessory circuit, they wire directly to the battery that has no protection while the starter motor is working.
How much are my services? More then you can afford pal, Ferrari.
No more danger to manifold with a working tach. Nice job.
Love the fast & the furious quotes 😂😂😂
Another great diagnose and repair👏

Jeff...thanks for the giggles on the FnF references...so good man!
Good 👍 job
That intro was baller yo
LoL...
what you recommend for flux or what you were using to heat up and take off with smd gun
What are the odds and receiving a bad tachometer from the manufacture
Gold!
Nice upgrade, looks like you won by a mile.

Floor boards will fall off before this VR does!
Darn no giveaway, my Nissan project needs a tach lol
All in the "regs"
That regulator has to be worth at least a tenth !
+10hp.
Do you share the tuna on white with no crust with the cat?
I had too, as soon as I opened the can the cats started screaming "Monica!".
Nice upgrade, but I doubt it needs that kind of current. Isn't more likely some voltage spike or reverse hookup blew the original LM?
I'm going with inductive kickback.
We're we can purchase ic of this device
Man you should be going to MIT or something
Oh man I'm so happy I'm the 69th like on this video lmao. Always nice to see the odd repairs that arent clusters. Also, nice sammich lol.
Funny one!
Hello
I saw your amazing technique

Sorry I'm not sure what it's specs are.

And thanks for the 110 race fuel....AMEN...lol
That linear regulator wastes so much power that he's going to lose every race.
True. But that PCB was only drawing like 60mA so linear should be an ok match.
Put a diode in series with the power input wire, stop your frend reversing the power polarity. Only 0.7v drop. (The regulator wont care and 700mv will lighten the regulator dissipation).

I assumed it was inductive kick back that killed it and not reverse polarity. If it fails again I'll try that.

Can you fix my autometer tachs?
Perhaps?
@@jeffescortlxhow do I contact you
😂😂
BS! Nobody likes the tuna here!
I'll be back tomorrow for another.
Were we can purchase the ic
Anyplace that sells electronic components. Mouser, Digi-Key, element 14 Newark, Amazon, eBay ECT.
I want... Lm 358 and ic1015
How to know that ic complaint
I have an a tacho meter it doesn't working..
I was really enjoying the video until, HORROR...
Tuna on white, no crusts !?!?! AWWWWE c'mon mate, the crusts are the best part ! Shame on you.
