Hello everyone. And thank you for your very introductory and both very useful TH-cam channels. A note for those who use Yaesu radios, only use Yaesu battery packs: they offer protection from overload of charging, and will keep your equipment safe. Cordially
Nice video, thanks Peter. I built myself a nice lab a couple of years back but its been laying dormant ever since as I have nothing to repair. Thousands wasted :(
@@TRXLab I'm really only doing it as a hobby at the moment but it would be nice to learn by attempting a repair. I don't know any other radio people these days. I need to learn where to get schematics too. Until then I have your excellent videos to fall back on :)
Don't give up, you can do it! Service manuals you'll find on the web, simply search. Have you ever considered visiting your local radio club? Anywhere in the world, radio clubs are near. Don't hesitate.
@@TRXLab Thanks Peter, there is a local club that runs several repeaters. I guess I will join now. Thanks for your advice and keep making the videos :) 73's G0XAG
Very cool! I think this the first disassembly of the ft5 on youtube.. At least the only one I can find, some one correct me if I'm wrong.. Thank you so much for taking us along !
Danke, fur another great video. Always look fur the obvious. I've tried my best to take a liking to digital Ham radio, but I just cannot stand the sound of digital electronics. I've got a Yaesu 991a and, believe me, I've tried several times to enjoy a QSO on digital radio. The sound is so bad I have trouble even understanding the computer generated sounding voices. I've tried digital and unless they can improve on the sound, I'll never be a digital user. I understand that half of the bandwidth is used for error correction and the audio is crammed into the other half of the bandwidth that it makes the voices sound like they have been computer generated.

Hello Peter nice to see a video. Curious as to what could have blown that board. Good thing Yaesu didn't discontinue it yet. Nice repair as always take care and 73
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Can you tell me where you ordered the replacement board from ? I've gotten no response from Yaesu parts. I'm looking for this same circuit board.
Great. I bought the ft3de when it was realy new, and yes, the menues are - compared with older yaesu's - realy quick and easy to learn, an the new generation ones are quit the sam structure ( and the mobile ones are nearly close to it) 73 und beste Grüße aus dem Nordwestlichen Münsterland 👍 DL1LEP
At 5:58, he said the radio was quite new and didn't want to compromise it. Maybe it was under warranty, so, free except for shipping possibly. That's why he didn't replace the MOSFET.
Where did you manage to buy the board? My ft5d has a problem with the black screen display, do you know what it could be? Where can I buy the board? Thanks
Hi, a question not related to your repair for but for my FT-5DR is regarding bluetooth, does the original software have a problem connecting, does an update fix that ? I can't get any of my headsets to connect.

Did not know you could get a replacement board I thought you were going to replace the damaged smd good to see you working on something newer
Nice video, thanks Peter. I built myself a nice lab a couple of years back but its been laying dormant ever since as I have nothing to repair. Thousands wasted :(
Hm, why is that? No customers?

That is the right way, and soon you'll have radios to work on..73's
Very cool! I think this the first disassembly of the ft5 on youtube.. At least the only one I can find, some one correct me if I'm wrong.. Thank you so much for taking us along !
No, not the first one. Third
Oh cool, where can i find the other 2? Thanks for letting me know..
Welcome Back !!!
Great job Peter thanks for the video

I'm getting board of watching TV.....I need some more radio fix-it videos to watch. Tim W8RNG😀
Hello Peter nice to see a video. Curious as to what could have blown that board. Good thing Yaesu didn't discontinue it yet. Nice repair as always take care and 73
Ya, as an FT5DR owner I'm wondering if this is a common fault or if it was something that happened due to improper use / care...
rd to say why the mos FET failed, but we assume it was something external
No it is nit a common fault
Hi Peter another suscess so tiny to try and replace componiates well done
No not too tiny wouldn't be a problem
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Can you tell me where you ordered the replacement board from ? I've gotten no response from Yaesu parts. I'm looking for this same circuit board.

Hi Peter. Thanks for the video. 73s
Interesting video and great to see the FT5 internals. I am curious as to the cost of the RF board, I bet it was an expensive repair.
At 5:58, he said the radio was quite new and didn't want to compromise it. Maybe it was under warranty, so, free except for shipping possibly. That's why he didn't replace the MOSFET.
Good conclusion
If the radio was fairly new, was it under warranty? Nice R&R job, thanks for the Saturday morning video😎
Yes warranty
Could be reverse polarity applied to the external DC jack that toasted that battery charge IC.
no not in this case
Wondering if that Yaesu FT-5D has any reverse polarity protection at the battery terminals or the external DC input.
yes any modern radio has a reverse polarity protection.
Peter, if you still have this unit. Is it possible to make a short video of this radio on a spectrum analyzer. Would love to see that.
no don't have it any longer
Where did you manage to buy the board? My ft5d has a problem with the black screen display, do you know what it could be? Where can I buy the board? Thanks
From Yeasu directly.
@@TRXLab Ok, can you tell me what the price was?
Does Yaesu provide replacement parts?
Come on now, anyone could replace the PC board! What kind of repair was that?
The answer is very simple. We Always do the best for customers. wouldn't you not expect a brand new board if that were your brand new radio?
Not everyone including Ham-Operators can or will open up their radio and trouble shoot it. I like to build, repair, or modify my own equipment.
Hi, a question not related to your repair for but for my FT-5DR is regarding bluetooth, does the original software have a problem connecting, does an update fix that ? I can't get any of my headsets to connect.
We have never experienced a connecting issue with BT. Maybe there is a hardware problem.
TNX Peter good Weekend 73 Peter
Alles Gute Peter!
What burned up the MOSFET in the first place?
Hard to say why the mos FET failed, but we assume it was something external
Did you find reason for failure?
no
3F. April 2013? Is the warranty over?
On the new MARS board?
