3mm leds in assorted colours available on Aliexpress for less than £1 per 100. I've just stocked up on them. They also come in a multicoloured flash in one led both fast and slow versions. Loving your new viseos whilst also catching up on you extensive back list.
Vince don't change your dialect or how you pronounce words, i like listening to dialects from around the world and have been a fan of your channel for a long time so pure ee is fine with me...keep your authentic self!
You inspired me Vince ! Had one similar Philips food processor lying around for ages thinking is was the motor. In the end a piece of plastic was broken off of the top part and that's why the microswitch was not being pressed in anymore. Filled that hole up with a piece of plastic and it works again ! RESULT 🎉! Smoothies are back ! 😀
Hello Vince, after seeing some videos, this is my favorite youtube channel. I love your relaxed voice, that you nearly work on everything and that you are not perfect. Thats' perfect to me, thanks a lot. Because I'm from Germany, you are also helping me improving my english. Phantastic, isn't it? Looking forward to see the next videos, regards from Regensburg, Max
NIce Job VInce 👍 I've got a very similar unit myself but it seems the plastic on the blending jugs on these is very brittle. I had only used the blending jug 2 or 3 times and the third time with hot liquid (was making soup) this caused the bottom of the blending jug to crack around where the shaft goes into it. I contacted Ninja and they said the unit was just out of warrant, but I could buy a new jug. Even though on their site there are quite a number of people with the exact same issue so it is a known problem. There are people on the 2nd or 3rd jug! so I'd not recommend this product. It even has a 1 star review on the company's site😂
Aren't those just standard 3 mil LED's? They look like it. The others you had were 5 mil, and the big ones looked like 10 mil (common) but could be 8 mil (not so common). Fun video by any means! 😄
great video, as always, Vince. as far as how LEDs work, there was a really great video posted up not long ago titled "Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED". it's a great video to watch when eating a snack or taking a break. and it gives you more information on LEDs than you would ever want to know. :D
Great vid… as always. Just a thought if you resoldered the old leds back in then cut off the tops and soldered the smds to the top of the dead led … could be done before refitting them .. just an idea
The ninja blender the second one you work on is £80 brand new I brought one 2 days ago from argos buddy its the NINJA BN495UK 2 piece auto IQ personal blender it's a very good and powerful blender one of the best one's on the market ❤❤❤
Hi vince love watching your vids.why would you buy something to fix that you carnt use after the fix..no glass tops jars.?...just finished watching the rest of the vid...got ya.keep up the good work
Today's watch wear is a thoroughly refurbished Pulsar 7S26 rare as hens teeth just put onto an "engineers" bracelet and looking abs astonishing good, I also have its matching gold plated "sister" on original gold plate bracelet NOS too in its original case so keeping both in the one which I have done with a lot of my sister acts watchwise hehehehe 212 watch cells changed this last fortnight and still a handful to go...
Scratch the watch wear... my "big boyz" Seiko 6119-5431 aka the "curvy TV" arrived alongside two beautiful Vostok's... Seiko is now nailed to wrist for some time to come and really now the only one to source is a Seiko 6139 and that is my Japanese grails pretty collected :D
Well done, another two saved from landfill. One way to remember LED connections is cup cathode (negative), anvil anode (positive), though if you are into electron flow theory and / or have some high brightness LEDs then everything is topsy-turvy. You can also use a CR2032 battery to test LEDs, rather than a DVM which may output a higher voltage.
Most of the home appliances in North America have a non setting thermal fuse, hidden somewhere in the wiring. Once it pops, the appliance is permanently disabled. 90% of the time, it is the issue.
Just a tip here, if you find security screws and your bits don't have the hole in the middle, you can get a small screwdriver or a pick and snap the peg off in the screw...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Hi Vince hope you and your family are fit and well a year or two ago a TH-camr call mustie1 Did the the same food processor as your😮s Keep up the fantastic videos 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nice fixes 👍 Security torx seems to become more and more common in modern devices. Bought one security torx set which starts from TR10 size, but recently had to buy also TR8 bits for PS3 Slim.
Am I the only who was surprised how old the construction of these looked? I'm not sure if it's seeing wires, rather than ribbon cables or the colour of the circuit board. The second board with faulty LEDs looked lke it was taken from a 1980s VCR.
It is better to protect a load you are interacting with so the cable trips before turning off the whole building. Long Extension leads sold in the UK are designed for using in the garden with potentially dodgy equipment so it and user gets protected. In some cases it feels over engineered but has legitimate design decisions behind it: the assumption that you don't know what someone will connect using it.
@@purpleviolinBoth RCD's will trip at the same time, ask me how I know.The RCD on the extension makes noi difference in a house proteced by RCDs or RCBOs
@@RandyDarkshade2 I Have wondered about that aspect RCD Vs RCD in a race. However doesn't negate the designed in aspect of protection. Having seen how some users use/misuse mains power cables etc in schools and pop up venues etc, I would definitely state that RCB on plug of a long extension lead (over 10m) should absolutely be there. Redundancy is better than no protection when lives are at risk.
I recently fixed a Nespresso coffee maker, basically, it was scaled up. I used lemon juice for descaling. After reassembling, I also noticed little bits of black plastic on my bench and floor. Nonetheless, it works, the original owner couldn't wait for me to fix and bought a new one. I noticed that my mother still has her Kenwood MagiMix from 40 something years ago, it still works, not like the modern junk we see here, Ninja. The name should be enough to put someone off of buying it, should be renamed Binned-Ya as the bin is where it belongs.
Why do they bother with security torx bits, like the Xbox controller. Is it so you can't get inside items to repair them? I think so.. The price of things like the Nutri thingy is so expensive that you can't buy new every time a wire comes off although it seems companies expect you to do just that. I'm more concerned about the cost than I am in saving the planet and I refuse to buy new every time an item has a problem, we need more people fixing their stuff and we need companies to encourage people to fix their items.
In German, there's a easy to remember memo for how to connect LEDs: Kelch, Kerbe, Kurzes Bein = Kathode / Kleinere Spannung. Everything starts with K. literal translation: Cup, notch, short leg = cathode / lower voltage. it's about the visible cup inside the LED, the notch on the circular body, and the shorter leg. obviously the leg length can't be used as indicator after the legs are shortened.
Vince I never thought of doing that to the side of the LEDs I usually just replace them as I have a collection of them. These dome style LEDs arn't used much anymore since everything id going SMD. I may have a few LEDs with no legs I may try your trick to get them glowing again.
Don't judge usage level based on how good it looks :) Otherwise you would get a shocking surprise if you saw a lot of my stuff. A lot of my stuff looks like brand new yet gets constant use all the time.
I've seen the jugs and lids for ninjas at theft stores alot I stop buying that brand my self cause the base units kept burning out on me they last about a year when used 3 or more times daily they nice though but the jugs stain easy and get foggy if you use scub side of sponge kids you know.
While I'm on the subject of repair.... My og Xbox one power brick goes wrong and won't pump out enough voltage to fire up the Xbox so after half an hour with a Dremmel I finally get inside it and the whole item is potted. How on earth can I repair this?? Companies deliberately withhold schematics, use security screws, pot items in resin, take the numbers off of chips and make repair as hard as possible. The only way to stop this is to vote with your wallet and if companies make it impossible to repair an item then don't buy it!!
It probably does act as a deterrent for people who don’t do regular repairs. If they just used a Phillips screw then more people would give it a ago and try to fix it. Waiting the extra time for the correct screwdriver to arrive will put people off, plus then the extra albeit small added cost. If you need to repair something it’s because it’s faulty and so the quickest way to get their broken device working again is just to buy another one! Obviously this depends on the person and cost of the product.
Ninjas a seriously good brand in my opinion, I've had airfryers from tefal, Delonghi and another I can't remember. All those took about 30 min to do frozen chips yet the Ninja I have now somehow cooks them better in I'd say 10 to 15 min depending on thickness. Only downside is all air fryers are a complete nightmare to clean but yeah great brand anyway.
They are supposed to be different appliances. A food processor is supposed to have a more powerful motor and a wider container, and can be used for things like kneading bread dough and slicing vegetables. Can you imagine slicing 10 lb of russet potatoes into paper-thin slices with a blender?!? Unfortunately manufacturers are wrongly leading young people to think they're the same thing. I guess misinformation is just fine in the service of stealing money out of people's pockets.
Agreed, but tbh anyone repairing stuff has a full set of "security" bits so it's hardly an issue. Personally I wish everything was Torx; Phillips and pozidrive cam out too easily.
They probably save money on insurance by using security screws, because it stops idiots who don't know what they're doing from opening devices, shocking themselves, and suing. If using them keeps prices down I'm all for it. BTW they're called security screws because they were invented to prevent yahoos from tampering with aircraft. The standard Torx was invented to prevent cam out by aircraft mechanics servicing light aircraft; the company that first produced them owned Cessna and Lycoming.
LEDs fail. Assuming not corrosion, could have just died. Cheap LEDs in the first place would have been designed to maybe last the warranty period. But measuring the Led (dimensions) should allow replacement from a decent parts supplier.

3:25 says "I'm not going to do that anymore", proceeds to do it the entire video 😂
Still enjoyable to watch, glad you got them working.
Came here to say exactly this 😂

Thanks Mick, the reviews are truly terrible 😂
I wonder if that's how the liquid damage occurred. Someone was making something and the jug cracked.
good fixes. Blown LEDs is just as valid as any other repair
Aren't those just standard 3 mil LED's?
They look like it.
The others you had were 5 mil, and the big ones looked like 10 mil (common) but could be 8 mil (not so common).
Fun video by any means! 😄
Was just about to mention that. They look like to me 3mm leds, readily available on ebay etc.
Watching your troubleshooting process is therapy for me. Love your videos!
Great video, Vince. We have a double Ninja airfryer. These devices are super.
Vince what do you do with all the thing you fix. These ones for example?
great video, as always, Vince. as far as how LEDs work, there was a really great video posted up not long ago titled "Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED". it's a great video to watch when eating a snack or taking a break. and it gives you more information on LEDs than you would ever want to know. :D
Oh wow, I've still got my bossk figure and Cap-2 from when I was a kid. Thanks
An incorporated blend of skills coalesced with a homogeneous amalgamation of resourcefulness combined with entertainment intermixed with anticipation.
Another great fix. Love all your videos. Best wishes from the USA!!
Great fixes Vince well done mate, I wonder if the faults are common, you need the jugs now 😊
Excellent video, as always. Keep up the great work!
Enjoying your video from Tokyo to Osaka Japan
On the bullet train
Australian tourist
Interesting items and nice fixes.
Through Hole Leds come in a variety of sizes, measured in mm. You can usually get a bag of them for a dollar or two.
The other M/S may be for the lid ..my blender will stop if you remove the bowl, and also, if you remove the lid separately .
Brilliant! Thanks again, and looking forward to see the rest of the products fixed soon! :)
The Nutri-bullet has the same issues with the micro switches. I had to fix mine twice.
Great vid… as always. Just a thought if you resoldered the old leds back in then cut off the tops and soldered the smds to the top of the dead led … could be done before refitting them .. just an idea
Interesting idea, tho Idk if Vince has a steady enough thermal setup to do that
The ninja blender the second one you work on is £80 brand new I brought one 2 days ago from argos buddy its the NINJA BN495UK 2 piece auto IQ personal blender it's a very good and powerful blender one of the best one's on the market ❤❤❤
Hi vince love watching your vids.why would you buy something to fix that you carnt use after the fix..no glass tops jars.?...just finished watching the rest of the vid...got ya.keep up the good work
Could you have stilted the replacement LEDs on wires? Would they have fit into the tubes? Just Ideas.
Today's watch wear is a thoroughly refurbished Pulsar 7S26 rare as hens teeth just put onto an "engineers" bracelet and looking abs astonishing good, I also have its matching gold plated "sister" on original gold plate bracelet NOS too in its original case so keeping both in the one which I have done with a lot of my sister acts watchwise hehehehe 212 watch cells changed this last fortnight and still a handful to go...
Why make things for processing liquids that cannot handle the slightest amount of spilt liquids? Cheap and cheerful :)
Measure OD of LEDs and that's how to get correct replacements, To me the original LEDs seem to be 3 mm.
On an LED, the cathode (k) is always the cup that holds the chip - the big one as you call it 😁
Scratch the watch wear... my "big boyz" Seiko 6119-5431 aka the "curvy TV" arrived alongside two beautiful Vostok's... Seiko is now nailed to wrist for some time to come and really now the only one to source is a Seiko 6139 and that is my Japanese grails pretty collected :D
Hey vince i didn't actually watch your new rolls royce videos because i am still at episode 21, yeah just 31 episodes left to watch 😂
He was driving Kate Middleton around in the latest episode 😲😯
I’d watch a catch up video for the first 50 episodes if that was a thing Vince! The biggest moments in an hour video maybe??
@theawfulgambler a lot of work to put that together
@@JamesSmith-qs4hxI think that was a body double, check for signs of Photoshop.
Ha, glad to know I'm not the only one _creatively misusing_ SMD LED's (They were all I had lying around haha)
One thing we can all agree on Vince always has clean floors lol

Yes these LEDs have a tiny wire inside them and they burn up like old tungsten bolbs when you inject high voltage.
Standard white 3mm LEDs surely- eBay is full of them
Just a tip here, if you find security screws and your bits don't have the hole in the middle, you can get a small screwdriver or a pick and snap the peg off in the screw...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Hi Vince hope you and your family are fit and well a year or two ago a TH-camr call mustie1
Did the the same food processor as your😮s
Keep up the fantastic videos 😊😊😊😊😊😊
all you need is to buy the jugs and those are some awesome food processors

If your house has RCD protecion you shouldn't need an RCD protected extension lead.

Would it not be easier to solder the legs to the led first then you would have two legs to solder
what size in cm are your blue mats
I have a similar mat ,and it is 30cm x 45 cm.
Awesome fix. Be aware: One of those pointed plastic sticks could have fallen into the rotating part and then flown out at high speed into your eye.
Hey Vince, I have some questions about an old video of your. Is there any way I can get in contact with you? Thanks!
Enjoy your videos as your information is good I know your no pro yourself

Pure E or pure A?
My guess on the second one is corrosion
Aww I was close also dang what's up with that chip it's got abbs that looks like it's had some crazy heat damage
Continuity!👊
Surely when they sell these things, you get the jugs for the top ? Why didn’t the person selling it to you have them ?
The idea that kitchen appliances are not water proof is (---------). Should be part of the CE surely?
Looks like you need 3mm LEDs instead of the usual 5mm LEDs.

The "big part" of the LED is commonly known as the anvil. 🤓
good video on how LEDs work is the video about the blue LED on the channel 'veritasium'
love your vids

No accessories = No point in it..
Why they even sold it on is rather cheeky in my opinion.
15:14 that unit facilitates two different 'jugs'. A large, and a small. Hence two sets of safety switches.
Makes me laugh when manufacturers use some security screws when you can easily buy a screwdriver from the internet.
Yep totally.
Also, people still fit locks to their doors, but you can buy keys and lock picking kits too.
It probably does act as a deterrent for people who don’t do regular repairs.
If they just used a Phillips screw then more people would give it a ago and try to fix it. Waiting the extra time for the correct screwdriver to arrive will put people off, plus then the extra albeit small added cost.

Maybe, it done much more for children, then those who wants to repair
Keep in mind that Torx and Security Torx long predate the Internet, and were first invented for use in aircraft.
You underestimate the power of lazy.
Any ninja air fryers to mend yet ???😊

👍👍
The whole video I cannot see anything. What are you fixing vince? It's like there must be some ninjas hiding.
I really wished that I had the patience to do all these type of things on your channel 😢😞
Why fanny on with busted leds ,get some new ones
Blenders, not food processors.
Nice
"Whahhhz happnin', mah Ninja?"
Looks like calling a blender "Food Processor" make its cost double or more.

Will it mend? That is the question. Soldering smoke, don't breathe this!
Vince.x I've been drinking again. So yeah.x I'm convinced woman likes a man that can gaslight.
yooo
"security" my ass, they are just trying to make the thing as hard to open as as possible. FFS, just let people use normal screwdriver.
Agreed, but tbh anyone repairing stuff has a full set of "security" bits so it's hardly an issue.
