- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2021
- On this channel I want to teach you how to repair a variety of Electronic items to component level. Mainly I repair Desktop Motherboards, GPU Graphics Cards, Laptops and Audio Equipment. I often undertake repairs without having a circuit diagram and most of my repair work is on items I buy to repair and then sell at a profit.
This is a 'hobby' that you can do in your spare time, it can be very enjoyable and also make you some good money on occasion!
Whether you are a beginner interested in Electronics Repair, or already have some experience and maybe would like to learn something new to expand your knowledge, I hope you would like to follow this channel.
I will be making videos that will teach you from the very beginning, there will be videos about circuits and components, about tools and equipment and other aspects of Electronics Repair. At the same time I will be making regular unedited 'live' repair videos where I try to fix a whole variety of things.
So you will find everything you need to know here to understand electronic components and circuits, while at the same time we will jump into the 'deep end' with some actual real life repairs
Really the only way do learn this is by doing it, so this course will be very much aimed towards the practical aspects of repair, rather than to electronics theory and mathematics.
So let's start the journey together and Learn Electronics Repair!
I work in collaboration with:

Best Repair Channel on TH-cam.
Richard, my genesis is very similar to your story. As soon as I was let loose with a screwdriver, I showed interest in everything electrical and electronic. A neighbor who ran a stereo repair business in the 1970s would give me his scrap to explore. I paid my way through University as an electronics service tech, and had a 30+ year as an electronics engineer. I was always far more proficient with hands on troubleshooting of new designs than my coworkers because of my experience of debugging real world failures. (Universities don't teach about the effects of poor solder joints, leaky flux on capacitors, and crappy connectors!)
Now mostly retired, I am returning to electronics repair. As of late, I have been repairing classic hifi equipment procured through the regional processing centers for Goodwill, a national charity thrift store chain in the US.
I have found the demand for restored 1970s and 1980s HiFi equipment is high in the US as long as I am able to verify proper operation and performance. This has required some investment in vintage test equipment to measure amplifier distortion and cassette head alignment, speed, and wow & flutter. I am surprised that eBay buyers are willing to pay the shipping charges for this heavy classic equipment!
I keep picking up industrial electronics business through community connections. I now repair digital boards for industrial saw controllers, inverters for off-grid solar installations, and display assemblies for several different industrial machines (Displays are mostly finding an equivalent LCD on Alibaba or eBay and knowing how to properly program the new display EDID EEPROM.)
feels like he is giving gift to all young people and leave something behind him
I fixed my 1965 car radio because of this channel!! It was fun and difficult and inspiring! Thank you for this type of content.
Hello Richard. The algorithm recommended your channel to me. I love what you are doing! I have started my journey on electronics repair, fixing phones and game consoles and I really want to learn component level repair. I'm so thankful for people like you that are willing to share their knowledge so that others might continue to save devices from being trashed. I went through your channel and decided to start on your first video. I can tell already that I will enjoy your videos because I like the way you tell your history as if we are sitting around just talking.
Hi! Thanks. Yeah this channel.... it's like sitting around a cosy table in a pub (or bar depending which part of the world you come from) with your mates. Or at least that's the way I think of it now, you never know who may pop in for a chat on any given day. :D
@@LearnElectronicsRepair next beer is on me :😊👌
I think your channel is great and you really go that extra mile to explain thing. What made you decide to move out to the Canary Islands?
I went to his channel and instantly went to the first video. I plan on watching every video from start to finish while pausing and taking notes and replaying. I know absolutely nothing about electronics repair so I have to start somewhere and this seems like the place. Your comment solidified it in my mind 😂
I've been watching video game arcade machine restoration videos on TikTok, and it's really got me interested. I have absolutely no experience with electronics, but I'm excited to learn. Thank you for making this channel.
Amateur radio ham interesting in learning more about electronics for my hobby. Everything is a steep learning curve (i.e. vertical) but doing something and getting it right is very satisfying. Fortunately there are people in my local club who are always there to offer helpful advice and I learn by drawing on their experience. Am trying to repair a 13v power supply and your videos along with helpful advice from others helps me break the task down into small manageable steps to tackle.
Hi Richard. I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying your videos. I'm a retired engineer of similar age to you and started tinkering with electronics at around age 10, which sounds like about when you started. Not many 4th graders ask for a soldering iron for Christmas. You do an outstanding job of explaining the theory of operation of the various components and circuits without getting lost in the math. Your casual style of teaching makes an hour video seem to fly by. Thanks again.
Love your videos sir, keep them coming.
Just wanted to say thanks again for your repair videos watch them all the time, your videos are a great way to learn to repair electronics.
Thanks for your series Richard. Getting your snippets of real world practical experience are absolute Gold-dust! I started doing this in the 70’s and still have the spring-connector original Electronics hobby kit today! I also remember my Mum buying me my first breadboard connector and then her being horrified by the cost of something so small - invaluable for playing around with though! So, many thanks and I look forward to your videos and insights! 👏🏼 BTW Canaries - jealous! 😁
Thank you Richard I have learnt a lot from you as a hobby, as I was in Telstra for years and injoy your videos 👍
Hi Richard, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I have been watching it for a few months and have learned a lot. Please keep it up and thanks for all the time you have put into your channel.

I noticed your channel and subscribed recently. Even though you did videos on subjects like resisters I still learned new things.
When I did electronics in high school I easily picked up schematics. For me they helped.me do electrons.
Back in high school I learned a lot about vacuum tubes electronic (1962 - 1964). A few years later my brother took the shop and learned about transistors. Later I went into chemistry in university.
As a new subscriber myself (my name is Richard as well), I think all subscribers should watch this. Of course, if they are reading these comments, they would have...
It gets to the reasons we are all here and offers hope to those of us looking to expand upon our existing skills.
Hello Richard,
I searched for "electronics repair" and found your amazing channel. I like electronics but I'm not an engineer. I'm just an IT professional software developer since 1992, looking how to upgrade my basic electronics skills... ☺ I love to study, understanding how things work and learn every day, eventually hacking them for a new creative use.
So I think that your channel will be very interesting and engaging for me.
I liked your story and admire how you are able to repair things without schematics. I'm 51 now, but I think it is never too late to learn something new. Right? 🤭
That's the "gasoline" for my brain..hahaha😄
I saw you posted tons of videos in just one year, wow, that's amazing. So thanks a lot for sharing them and to help other people in your life. God bless you.
I think I will learn a better English as well, because your original UK accent is a bit difficult to understand for me.... Luckily, there are subtitles...hehehe 😅
I wish you the best! 😉 Regards.
Welcome to the channel - I hope you learn a lot of thongs but mostly have some fun doing it. You're never to old to start, there are some subscribers on here who started learning repair in their 70s. I'm not sure you will learn better English from my original North West England accent lol but like you say there are subtitles too and the YT closed caption generator seems to have been pretty well trained to understand me now 🙃
@@LearnElectronicsRepair Thanks for the welcome. I will have fun for sure. I already started to enjoy your first videos. Thanks for the encouragement.. 😃I will train my biological neural network with your voice too, ahahah😁
Hello Richard :)
Geoffrey here from the Balearics. Been dabbling in computer repairs for years without knowing a sausage about electronics. Mainly changing pc components, not fixing them. Really looking forward to learn from your videos. Thank in advance!
its nice to know you, your hobby, and your channel sir. i appreciate you for this sharing these.
Hi Richard, Thanks for these - just started tinkering - and this is just what I needed - will deffo stay the course. Thanks again. :)
Hi Richard, appreciate the introduction. Watching your channel you show us a real good look on applied computer and electronics repair. I like your practical approach which works really successful. Thanks for sharing your talent.
To be honest I really enjoy making the videos. It actually helps me to learn more too. You never stop learning with electronics repair.
This is great Richard, just what I was looking for.
Hi Richard, thanks a lot for your tutorials. I'm new to electronics and I appreciate them a lot. Good job!
Thanks, There is plenty more to come - I am just starting :)
Thank you Richard for your video, you inspire us for your awesome journey for repair business and support each other to learn with your experience.. I appreciate that brother,,, I’m Richard Bell too.. deaf from kenai Alaska… I am starting learning motivational work electronics repair just starting last month I’m try make some money to buy electronics camera, etc tools some day.. hard time to make money for me buy supply of electronics lol. Thank for your video,😊
Oooooh things always end up worse than they started with me! Perseverance and patience is rapidly becoming apparent to being a key ingredient to growth. I do love this little corner of the world we inhabit though, and your videos make it so much easier.
Oh I've done that before - made things worse. It's part of learning. This is why it is so much better to buy and repair stuff for profit when you are learning how to do it.
Some good job Richard
Start the journey of "learn electronics repair". Thank you for your efforts, especially the knowledge of repair electronics.
You are welcome!
I thought what you presented was really interesting. I will try to keep up!
Hi Richard, looking forward to watching more of your informative Electronic Repair videos
HI John. Thanks! I hope you enjoy them. I do my best to upload several new ones every week
I just found your channel, i'm still 27 years old i have a job, and i have some spare time i'm looking forward to making this as my new hobby, I will start watching your videos whenever i get the chance, any recommendations on how to start ?
P.s: you earned yourself a subscriber
I love this channel!
thank you, Richard i hope i could learn something interesting from your channel have a nice day
Revisit from 2022. I'm so glad you joined youtube Rich, there maybe others on the platform doing what your doing but mate you are the best. Your a great public communicator and teacher and have the skill, knowledge and experience to back it up. Some have skill, some have knowledge and some have experience but lack in other areas, presentation, talking with confidence, poor quality recording, expressing the knowledge the know etc. You don't have any of these issues and are just a 100% great person, teacher, communicator and creator. Thank you. Hello from Scotland, Its good to see you living it up in the sun pal. ATB.
Brilliant
Thank you really Sir 🙏
it's informative and very helpful video because you talk what you have experienced.
Actually I'm about to start to learn electronics maintenance and make money with it so I hope your channel will help me with that!
Hi Richard, I came across this channel accidently. I love your videos. I am new in Electronic repair hobby. I started to by some tools and equipment. I think you channel is going to help lot to learn much in electronics. Keep making this educational video for new hobby people.
Thank.
Hi I'm really happy you like it. Yes I want to make many videos with beginners lessons and real life repairs. Always I will explain the repair in detail so hopefully everyone can understand what I am doing.
If you need any more advice about any of my videos please just ask in the comments. This channel is very new but I hope it becomes successful. Thank you for subscribing. Richard.
Thank you
Love your Chanel ❤
This is a great channel i have had my smart tv sitting in my room for a good 2years i happened to fix it by just replacing the ribbon cables in my tv all thanks to youtube i have never thought about repairing and selling but today sparked a thought im hoping ur channel can help me with my new found hobbie
Great to hear! Let us know how you go on :D Can I point you in the direction of a very good repair forum - www.badcaps.net
You will also find me on there
After years of watching electronics repair videos , you have inspired me. what would you recommend to look for, for a starter repair items. Thanks
Liked & subscribed!
Heya, oke selected all of your videos gone watch them 1 by 1 again
Starting this long journey hopeful that it will enable me to repair my beloved coffee roaster. I have two of the same kind, but the first one stopped working...something to do with the motor going sluggish one day. Trying to learn this so when my second one does the same, I will be able to fix it.
This was an easy subscribe 😄
Hi Richard, your channel popped up in my recommended list, it’s scary how ‘they’ know what might be of interest to me 🤔. I’m coming at this as someone that gets frustrated when trying to get something repaired only to be told it’s not cost effective to repair, another piece of trash to be buried in a landfill 🤬. I have also recently had some failures of fairly expensive electronics over a short period, large monitor, pc and then a laptop. I took them to be repaired buy an ‘expert’ which turned out to be a nightmare experience. Long story short I want to be able to have a go myself. Looking forward to your video series, I have just started watching.
Ps, perhaps you can offer some advice. I have a monitor that gives off an electronic whine, still functions great but the whine is annoying. Any idea what may be causing it and if so what I can do about it, cheers.
Would you consider repairing one or two ink jet printers if possible.. they always seem to be binned. Thx for channel, great work, I found one or two gold engineers turned out to be self taught. 👍🏝️
This should be good :)
I'm an illustrator by trade and I'm looking to learn electronics. I'll try my best to stay committed to learning this wonderful skill.
Thanks for your great content!
You can do it man
Hello Richard, How long does it normally take the average person to learn the very basics of repair? I know it takes 50yrs to learn any trade well and to learn how to fix almost anything but how long would it normally take to learn enough skills to fix most things you attempt from a total beginner to electronics level?
hi Richard new sub here going to checkout some or all of your videos :)
Hey sir , do you have any book recommendation to learn how to troubleshoot electronics & repair circuit boards? thanks.

Hi Richard. Where are you from? I think about USA🙂 Oh. sorry are You from GB.
So if this is #1, where is #2? Please excuse me if I'm being thick.
learn to make a proper playlist. It should be ordered. I went to see the playlist for Learn Electronics Repair for Beginners, and the first video was #11. Too much work to find and sort and play the correct next one and therefore I'm not watching any of your videos.
