    Nice work as always Mick, well done. So, you not only fixed it, but you probably fixed a design floor which could be effecting anyone that's already purchased one. You're better than you think at this stuff you know. I mean there's a few 'fixers' on TH-cam which I totally enjoy watching, but with you, you go the extra mile. You've got skills which many people are envious of, me included. But you're a true gentleman for sharing them with us here on TH-cam. Thank you #RightToRepair

    Excellent job.
    The firmware update probably fixed some initialisation issue with the bluetooth board. Given, nowadays, most bluetooth or wifi modules are self-contained, preassembled, FCC compliant certified, boards that are just stuck onto/into equipment they're usually the thing that causes the most grief with stray ones and zeros in the code.
    If the main units processor has to wait for the BT or wifi board to spit out a code to say it's ready and that code either doesn't arrive before the timeout elapses, especially if the developer didn't add in an "if timeout exceeded carry on anyway" code, or it gets garbaled in transit, the processor just stops loading the rest of the code.
    It can also be as simple as the developer didn't put in a timeout so the processor will wait forevermore for the BT or wifi card to say it's ready.
    God be with the days when developers had to squeeze every drop they could out of a 1.44 Mb floppy for their code, so everything had to be spot on and there was no room for errors.

  • @PileOfEmptyTapes
    @PileOfEmptyTapes 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Your theory concerning he history of this device seems spot-on.
    If I am not mistaken, you could have exposed a bit of the ground fill surrounding the unused pin and connected it to that. Unless, of course, said ground fill is not actually grounded, which might help explain the problem.
    If you happen to be very bored, you could take a look at the A/B/C inputs (pins 9...11) and decode the bit pattern to determine which input is being selected (presumably one of those next to the unused pin, so either 1 = high/low/low or 3 = high/high/low), and trace that back to determine why it's so high-impedance. I'd think it would go to the mic preamp, which should not normally have high output impedance. Perhaps there's a bad joint in between or something.
    Leaving the unused input floating seems like a design oversight (and one that would be trivially easy to correct), but it should not normally invite this level of interference by itself.

    Hi BI FI lol
    Yes its not uncommon on chips to tie unused pins to a zero or high. Usually zero. I found this with a lot of cmos chips in my day when i made my own ccts. The reason is they tend to FLOAT apparently
    depending on the purpose of the i c. Checking the specs like you did is the right way. Bit more investigation like you did
    Is best practice. Man you are worth your weigt in solder lol. Another great fix. Cheers

      @ianhelsbyservices 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, for clarification: As the 8 pins were being used as inputs then unsed pins can be shorted to ground but if they were used as outputs then a 10k pull down to ground would stop a potential short circuit?

    • @ralphj4012
      @ralphj4012 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@ianhelsbyservices Difficult to be precise without knowing whether inputs or outputs and what the other pins are connected to. Early (and some late) CMOS devices (non-schottky) used mostly high-impedance mosfets which are very susceptible to noise, even from adjacent pins. I'll guess it was an input. Better to use a pulldown or pullup resistor (in my opinion) because, as you indicate, if it was an output then a direct connection to ground or Vcc could short something, albeit for a very short time.

    Hey, always trying to learn, so thank you for posting and narrating. It’s clear you have experience, so sometimes seem to make leaps - like all of a sudden, you’ve determined it that IC chip , like, how did you tell? It had voltage going to it, and without a schematic, why did you think it was wrong 18:07 ? Really love your videos, so please do keep going 👍

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks 👍I was looking at what makes the display actually move. When I touched that chip with my finger (introducing noise) the display moved so I knew it had something to do with at. I suspect the original IC was ok, but perhaps when they updated the software they started scanning the unused pin, perhaps it was tied to ground in later models, and this was an earlier version? That's the only thing that I can kind of think makes any sense as the the pin seemed completely not connected to anything.

  • @mitchellhw2006
    @mitchellhw2006 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I also think the new firmware supported a model with more input channels than the version you were repairing. The ABC line was scanning the non-existent input.
    A note on the 4051; different brands can react differently even though they are schematically the same. I had difficulty using the TI brand as their series resistance per channel was too high and their switching times were too slow. The ON Semi brand is dramatically faster in switching times.

    Great channel!
    Instant sub.
    Have a Altronix power supply for a electric strike on a door (I'm a locksmith btw) and it has a lot of components on the board. (like about 100)
    I tested everything (in circuit) and came across 1 diode that measured 000.1 each way in diode mode (and it beeped in continuity mode as well)
    De-soldered it and now it tests fine.
    _The power supply is completely dead and I'm still troubleshooting it but wanna know your thoughts on that diode_
    Is that normal?
    I also suspect the electrolytic caps need replaced .....especially a small one surrounded by big heat sinks and a transformer.

    What do you think went wrong? Would not the original PCB have linked the unused pin to ground? or there is some kind of microscopic crack developed??

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm not sure how the original firmware was corrupted. The unused pin might not have been getting selected in the original firmware and the new firmware there might have introduced a bug or on later revisions of the hardware this pin was grounded so they didn't have this problem. Perhaps they made a mistake on V1.0 for instance and did a small mod like I did on the other units, but forgot to do it on this one?. The pad on this unit wasn't connected to anything that I could see and there was ground pads right next to the pin.

      @BuyitFixit  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks 👍Yes it's odd.Perhaps this was the original problem and someone stuffed up doing the firmware update, or the new firmware update has an error and scans the unused pin by mistake? or they did a fix like I did on all of the other units, but somehow forgot to do this one? 🤷‍♂️

    As I've repaired everything at home😊 is there a sophisticated way for searching for broken stuff except the obvious to write FAULTY in the search bar? I don't see the "for parts" option in the advanced search on eBay for example...

    • @BuyitFixit
      @BuyitFixit  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's usually under 'condition' but it only shows in sub categories. For instance in 'video games and consoles' it only shows new and used but if you then go into just 'video game consoles' you get the options of 'For parts or not working' you can cheat and manually edit the URL &LH_ItemCondition=7000 instead of 3000 for used.

    • @bleeedthebrakes
      @bleeedthebrakes 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was wondering about the same thing as well, as this chip should have a complete bluetooth baseband and ADC/DACs inside.
      The only logical explaination I can come up with is they wanted to cheap out on antenna design, and using prebuilt modules would let them skip that big hump
