Trying To FIX | Singing Machine KARAOKE System
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2021
- I bought a portable Singing Machine Groove Mini Karaoke System off eBay for £5! There appears to be no power and it doesn't turn on.
Will I be able to repair it, or should I just Let It Go?
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

I DEMAND THAT EVERY VIDEO FROM NOW ON FINISHES WITH YOU ON THE KARAOKE HAHA
Haha, thanks Ken! I'm very tempted! 😂
Brilliant idea
Omg this is the origin story of Steve's endslates!
Let it go! Let it go!
Spoiler ! Now you've spoiled that he got it working. Stupid Spoiler.
🤣🤣 Just brilliant!
😁 Thanks Vince! I enjoyed this one! 😬
One if not the best TH-cam channels, is this one. Steve you crack me everytime and your electronics fault finding is spot on, m8t. Outstanding repair job again, sir
You're my new favourite youtube channel. I know shit all about electrics but I'm happy to watch you solder and replace capacitors.
You made my day with your humor, nice job on soldering, the only thing is why you don't have a Fluke tester, I have my 87 since 1988, wonderful equipment
I think you are the lost twin brother of Russel Crowe... thank you for the review mate. I just purchased a Singing Machine Karaoke System for my Granddaughter, she has Autism and she loves to sing from when she wakes up in the morning until sleepy time. This is a great way to release her extra energy... BTW, thank you for your singing performance. lol.
😁 Thanks Joe! I'm going to take the Russel Crowe thing as a compliment! 👍 I hope your Granddaughter loves the karaoke machine! I was really impressed with it! 😊
The excitement was very palpable ;)
Haha, thanks Jérémie! I did get a bit carried away, I think! 😁
I've never thought of this type of stuff being interesting, but man you sure make it that way! Makes me want to learn about this and how to fix electronics
What? Perfect Girl Steve is gone?! NO! Perfect Girl Steve was my favorite part of this whole documentary
Man i'm glad i found your channel! definitely my favourite fix it channel :D
I love that you sing for us Steve. Keep doing it!
Hi Steve, I love your name, your humour and your content. I find your videos very entertaining and educational at the same time. I've been a My Mate Vince fan for a number of years and found out about you via one of his videos. Continue being yourself and doing your thing, you'll go far!
😁 thanks Steve, really appreciate that! Glad you enjoy the videos. And obviously Steve is the best name ever! 🤣
Never been into anything like this but really enjoying your tutorials , thankyou
You my friend are the best. I've been watching you for a while and find you incredible. You must keep doing this forever. I settle down with a coffee after work and you always finish my evening off nicely
dude spent 50$ and many hours fixing a 5$ karaoke that nobody will ever buy. LEGEND!
I’m sure he will put it to good use with his amazing singing.
This was a great fix! The thermal cam is a nice troubleshooting tool as well. As always, very enjoyable and entertaining, great stuff.
Thanks Tidder! That little thermal cam has come in very useful so far! 👍
The voice of an angel Steve. Great repair.
Thanks RB! I'm definitely thinking of entering the next X Factor. 😁
Great fix, a very tricky one to find and with zero bodginess applied to boot - Well done 👍
I don’t know why, but that little “YAY” at 4:29 had me rolling. Love this channel!!!
3:42 Hahaha, nice little "Monty Python's Meaning of life"-Reference. And the end song made me cry from laughing. 😂
Well done.
My daughter has the same model of this singing machine (in white though) with the same problem, which landed me here.
Thanks to your video I'm now convinced that I don't need to waste anymore time trying to try fixing it. I don't have the tools to solder that tiny stuff. I was hoping for an easier fix, like hard resetting or whatever.
This kind of using wrong specification parts in a commercial product is definitely planned obsolescence and I apploud you for fighting it, but it just doesn't make sense for me to fix this one.
Hahaha! I loved it. Every bit of the victorious journey. It just puts the planets in alignment when one fixes something like this! Cheers!
Well done. Glad you were able to save it. Good singing voice to mate 👍
I know it is an old video, but I love your singing Steve! Keep it up please.
Steve makes me feel old with all his references 😂😂😂
I loved the “by the power of grayskull !!!” Awesome 😎
😁 thanks Heidi! 😊
Hello steve
You are so awesome
The troubleshooting is on fireeee🔥🔥
Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Glorious video! You are a man of many talents, but it also doesn't take much to get me excited either!
Haha 😁 Thanks Michael! 👍
Just when i thought i could not like this channel / vids any more you ware a house of pain tee. Awesome video and fix as ever keep um coming.
Haha, thanks Mr Flibble! 😁 Believe it or not, I've had that tee shirt for about 25 years! I have washed it though. 😊
Excellent Steve, loved the video especially your BGT audition haha.
Haha, thanks Les! I'm sure I'll be snapped up to be on the next series of BGT! 😁
Hahaha your face when you discovered it turned on twice! Been awhile since I did much with electronic repairs but know that rush well. Well done sir!
Thanks, I couldn't work out the fix on a Daewoo compact bluetooth Karaoke machine. Occasionally it would turn on but 99% of the time it wouldn't. Thanks to this video it turns out to be the same fault on the same chip, 4.8Volts outputted rather than 3.3v. I replaced the chip and it works fine now. The Daewoo main motherboard looks exactly the same as one in the video, so looks like different makes used the same design. I bought it as factory return stock, there were 10 other machines with the same issue so there is good possibility there was faulty batch of these chips, and they were sold to different retail companies who got the same main board but pimped up the externals to their own liking.
Daewoo Sucks
best entertainment ive had all day
Awesone stuff as always
Brilliant your videos are great I’m not great at fixing stuff but ur videos interest me
Your videos are informative and entertaining as well. New sub
'No no no' hahahahah what a great and refreshing video. You so remind me of my fixes and instead of talking to YT people I talk to myself hahahaha
😂 thanks Beaps! Yeah, I can't get the hang of talking to YT peeps. I think I'm better at talking to myself anyway! 😁
Alway fun watching! 😆😆
You deserve more subs and views man
this is now a karaoke TH-cam channel
hahaha I was the only one to even look at this - I'm crying ! :D
😁 thanks BodziuM! 😂
I thought perhaps the ‘let it go’ was a suggestion that it might have been unfixable... very well done. Just need to protect it from any music lovers with ill intent .... 😀👍
😁 thanks Chris! I'll be protecting this one for sure! 😂👍
Great fix , something different and bonus singing Steve 🤣 .................. Nice 1 mate 👍
Thanks Chris, apologies for the singing! 😁 Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
What's going on Steve !!!!!! I've started saying "NICE" and singing random songs to everyone, especially women !!! I digress You have given me the confidence to fault find some of the broken electronic items I have , although I've not managed to fix anything yet but I think I know why there not working !!!I just haven't got the tools or the eyesight to fix them but im going to invest, Cheers " No No No ,, NICE "
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wanna build a snowman ☃️😜 brilliant fix buddy
😂🤣 Cheers Jinxy! 👍
@@StezStixFix As usual your most welcome
So Funny and i'm glad you got to sing !! keep it up .
Exciting episode Steve, a bit like a who or whats done it, its on, its off, its on, its off, at one point I thought it was the butler, in the conservatory with the plunger!
you are well funny steve i spat my coffee out with laughing so much great fix
😁 😂 Thanks Jon, really appreciate that mate!👍
Epic. Nearly peed myself at the end.
I Will have to watch all the other vids for more epicness!
The best one yet!
😁 thanks Travis!
Steven, Love your vids man, i was reallay waiting to see what the temps were after the replacement? Did you by change checked that? Very nice fix !!!
Pure funny as always Steve why couldn't you have had that for Vince series 1 episode 1 absolute quality 😂😂👌
😁 Haha, thanks Philip. I wish I had filmed this one earlier, then I would definitely have put it on Vince's show!
Your singing was not awful. Great, fun fix.
Thanks Ned! I'll definitely take "not awful" as a compliment! 😁 👍
You fixed it but broke my ears at the same time. Great viewing
:D
👍for the shirt I have a purple one of those, I think it was from 1980? lol brought me back in time to see that style again thanks StezStix.
Keep rocking bud great fix for the money 👍
Thanks Andy! 😁
YOU ARE THE MAN
lmao stez you make me laugh so much thanks for shareing. Get in there!!!
🤣 thank you! 👍
Well done my man!
Thank you! 😊
As I go back through some of your old videos, I was compelled to comment on this one in particular. The last thing you said...Shabba... I wonder how many people actually got that.I know I did and I'm no Mr. Loverman.
That machine told you "no." It did not give its consent to be repaired. REEEEE!
I was disappointed that you didn't use the thermal camera after the part was replaced to see if the temperature was back to normal. The singing at the end was a bonus. My dogs were howling along with your singing.
Love it 😊😊😊
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth💖💖💖👍
hahaha excellent video! was hoping for some karaoke if you managed to fix it.. not dissapointed at all!
Haha, thanks Arreglando! I really enjoyed making this one! 😁
Can not beat a good sing song, well done dude :)
😁 cheers Gordon! 😊
Amazing video, absolutely hilarious watching you singing at the end. When do we get to see your XFactor audition video haha
Haha, thanks Dan! I'm not sure Simon Cowell will be calling me up anytime soon! 😁
Lmao, love this one. You crack me up, thanks for sharing
You are completely bonkers!
And yes, I mean that in a good, fun way!
BONKERETTS ARISE!
LOL
Nice job, Steve.
Just a note to other who may be watching this and perhaps just new to electronics.
Right near the beginning when Steve used the thermal camera and saw that regulator chip at 45 degrees, right there, that was in indicator that either the chip was bad and/or perhaps a shorted capacitor.
That chip should NOT get hot when there's no real load happening. The resistor getting hot is in direct correlation to the short condition (in this case, the chip). And yes, that chip is shorted as evidence by the 8V "output" noticed at the beginning.
When I'm fixing something and it has regulator chips, those are the 1st things that I check as well as all caps in those locations and/or locations where I suspect the fault.
Steve does a good and fun job.
I laughed out loud at the end 🤣🤣
Sing one of the Beatles man.. good job fixing that karaokee machine
Nice!
"The machine that goes ping." No one I know, knows that. My daughter just had twins and she was telling me about the maternity ward at the hospital, and how they have all the newest, fanciest and expensive machines. I asked her if they had the machine that goes ping. It bounced like a basketball with no air. My fault for not teaching her I suppose, but when are kids old enough to watch the Meaning of Life? I guess after they move out and have kids of their own.
Great fix, was waiting for the message about a TH-cam strike against ya for singing a Disney song lol 😂
Haha, thanks Roy 👍. Yeah, I did get a copyright claim, so had to cut the song right down! 🙃
Hi Steven, great video, I just repaired the SML650W model of this today. The problem with my unit was the DC - 9V port was broken off of the pcb. Now repaired. Keep up the great work. Kind regards. Paul.
Thanks Paul! Much appreciated 👍
Your welcome Steven. My wife and I think you're hilarious too. It's great to laugh also whilst watching. Keep up the great work. Kind regards. Paul.
Here's the one I fixed. Now fully working. Great little thing. th-cam.com/video/WAUyxJn_bfo/w-d-xo.html
@@spooktasticaparanormal Love it! Excellent singing voice you have there too! Puts me to shame! 😁
@@StezStixFix I've got another three waiting for repair. I'll feature them on.my channel.
Great video Steve. I have a karaoke machine with a built in monitor that I love. However, the cd player isn't working right. I think the laser is worn out. Is there a source for a replacement cd player?
Your videos are amazing. And that voice ❤️. I have one question. Would you be so kind and show where you bought these probes for multimeter
10lbs sterling for that! You sir are a bolder man than I
I litterally wouldn't trade 9 lbs of dilver for that, but 9 lbs of fist currency that I'd worth virtually nothing is probably worth it to make a repair video.
nice!
Freaking awesome!!!!
I live in Hamilton is there anywhere I can take it to get it fixed thank you.
Made me piss and I'm learning! Thank you made my Friday evening lol cheers 🍻
I have one very similar and everything works except I get no sound. Do you know where I'd look to see why the sound isn't working?
I can't remember exactly, but one of the chips will be responsible for amplifying the sound. My guess is that it has failed. I would imagine it's a fairly common universal chip that can be replaced. 👍
I got flashbacks to the “Blanco y Negro” bar.
😁 those were the days. Grr.
I have a RSQ karaoke machine its great but the CD lid wont close how can I fix that other the that its always worked great.its a CD grafics it also has tape player ..
I have a karaoke USA model gf920 Have not used it in a couple of months and it's not turning on and I plugged in the AC adapter is it because the battery pack is so dead I need to charge it? I always thought it would work with the dead battery pack if I plug it in with the AC adapter?
1:34 it's BK not 8k. The BK stands for black model. I'm just trolling you a little because I love your videos!
Looks like u had fun fixing that one.lol
😁 Certainly did! 😂
What is the name of the board you took out
1:34 BK I Think? Mostly likely because it's the black model? Manufacturers usually do that at the end of model numbers
Great ending I love how this guy doesn't take him self to Seriously
Nice work Stez! I guess the voltage regulator wasn't resisting as much anymore.
Got a bit nervous seeing the cap on the right manipulate under the heat. Don't forget to use capton tape; it is your ally.
Otherwise, a better fault find, solder and ballad than I could do. 😁
Thanks Toxo! Yeah, apparently it's quite common for them voltage regulators to fail over-voltage like that. So that's something useful I've learnt from doing this! The other thing I've learnt is that I think I have a real shot at winning the next series of Britain's Got Talent. 👍
@@StezStixFix 😂
I wonder how voltage regulators work. I'm guessing they vary their resistance to the input voltage, like a thermistor is for relative heat?
@@ToxoRetro I've just watched a video on it, and I still don't fully understand how they work! I'm gonna assume it's magic. 😁
@@StezStixFix Agreed, it's witchcraft. 🧙♂️ 🤣
🤘 Rock on...Rock On..🤘
😁 haha, thanks Micro! 🎤 🤪
hi pls can you make a vid on fixing the xbox series s just when i turn mine on it just puts me on a screen that says restart this xbox or troubleshoot but enything i do it just sends me to the something went wrong screen.
Hi Steven, I've been keeping my eye out for a broken one, but haven't had any luck yet. I will be doing a video at some point as soon as I can get one! Your problem does sound like it could be a software issue. Hopefully it isn't the internal hard drive. Hope you can get it fixed 👍
8K? :) perhaps BK == black! love your vids!
"Computer... err, Karaoke machine says no!"
Haha Steve,thanks for the laff
😁 cheers Daveyboy! You're welcome! 😊
Love it! Great job there!! Auto tune?? 😂
Haha, not even auto tune could correct my graceful singing voice, Kieron! 😁
I have one like this I was listening to a CD and all of a sudden I heard Pow! It sounded like a gunshot and I smelt fire and the cd quit playing, Should I throw the machinw away?
