    Probably the most important issue wrt no functioning display after Digital board re-cap is it looked like there was a resistor next to the last cap you replaced at 26:09 it was visible at 24:28 and 25:59 just above test pin A7, and wiped away by soldering iron at 26:10 Think from the Service manual it's R1411 Part no.1-208-860-81 METAL CHIP 75 Ohms 0.5% 1/16W which appears to be the 75 Ohm o/p resister to the Y i/p of the LCD panel.... That will do it!
    Plus at 19:12 when you broke the track getting that broken cap out of the board the track went in 3 directions and I couldn't check for damage to either pad afterwards.... I wonder if that is still a potential problem area especially the track that led to the 14V label on the board. Also at 18:29 it looked like the pin you resoldered (next to the PC10 label) maybe need to be rechecked for continuity to the copper trace hidden underneath the white thick board marking up to R14 and/or is there maybe some missing track between the resoldered pin and the pin above as the board between the 2 appears to be a different colour (difficult to see if track is missing) or does this pin go somewhere else????

      pretty good analysis and you paid some attention, awesome! Pretty sloppy job again. Why did he not do what he said, he said he wants to re-do the solder joints but he never did them. Also he could have mounted the re-capped caps better. A lot of potential mistakes and potential problems in the future.

  • @uki352
    @uki352 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Another nice one! But I want to address the rework / recapping thing for the beginner. Two things kill these single sided PCBs, heat and mechanical stress and at most, when both come together. Using a desoldering pump thing with Plastic or Teflon tip while running 400°C on the iron is the perfect killer. The high temperature dissolves the glue that sticks the copper to the cardboard and the backlash from the desoldering flopping thing breaks the thin copper layer on impact.
    Number one is to reduce the heat of the iron to as low as possible, often on the old leaded PCBs 280°C is enough. Second, with a little higher temperature, use desoldering braid. As a result, you have a clean solder point and no damage on the board.

      A lot of this domestic gear is built to a price, even name brand stuff like Sony. I question the design of much of it, because a well-designed circuit should not run so hot that it scorches the board. If it's doing that then there's a design flaw because there are plenty of ways of making something that runs cool to the touch.

    My experience with DVRs of this era is that the hard drive needs to be detectable and readable for the device to do anything at all. It might be a good idea to connect it to a PC and check its SMART info and run a surface\self test. Connecting a working IDE drive of a similar capacity may be all the player needs, if the current drive is dead. I've also seen some DVRs that store their own encrypted firmware on the drive so unless you have a copy of the drive, the entire thing becomes a brick once the drive fails. I hope that's not the case here.

      I am just wondering of the hard drive format.
      Indeed, Sony used in some of their hdd dvd-r recorders combo a proprietary format (BSD type?) that makes it impossible to read on a normal PC unless you haven't à special Windows software to read the files. (IsoBuster software)
      For some of them you even have to get some kind of remote to allow the device to format the new hard drive !
      Mark will also have to change for a serial ata port.

    Those old IDE hard drives had issues with aging motor bearing lube. As they aged, the spindle lube would become gummy causing the spindle on the motor for the platters to get stuck. A temporary fix (to recover the data) was to take the drive out and manually spin the whole drive assembly to try break the motor spindle loose. It mostly worked, but not always. If you can't find a problem with the supply, it might be worth a try. Good video!

The bulbs are red 60w, as it is hard to find much else in the way of incandescent lamps locally. I have also created a L and N loop feeding the socket for current clamp metering.

    I got an Escient MP3 juke for free off a guy because the red status light was flashing. I took it home, found a factory reset on the back and yes it still flashed, but this time the HD started to spin, and it took a while (about 60 secs) but the light stopped flashing and it works! With 11,000 mp3s on it to boot! But when I ras into it, it reminds me of the 2003 era computer gear in it...slow!

    What's great about blank media in Canada (is it though, as we're all assumed pirates?), is a tax is levied on all blank media to offset piracy. We're allowed to copy all the media we like, as long as we borrow the original recording to make a copy for ourselves. The owner of the music can't rip a CD to tape or digital files and give the the copies to someone.

    I've got an NAD C 320 for repair into which someone has replaced all capacitors and even mounted some of them with glue upside down onto the PCB and connected them with wires... The main electrolytic snap in capacitors are some unknown brand sourced from the far east and the solder side is pretty damaged too. It would have been in a perfect working condition if it wasn't butchered by the re-capping army.

    Be careful with those Quickest mains connectors. I've got one and the neutral contact went light. While testing an amplifier, I closed it and the power flicked. Taking all sorts out on one channel. I'm now working through all those problems

    I cut these electrolytic capacitors with pliers, always in such a way as to grab the positive and negative terminals at the same time so as not to damage the board, thus avoiding using heat.

    From a philosophical standpoint, an answer to 'do electrons really care about the neatness of soldering etc.' might be that at some point they do. After all, human brains function on electrons (they say), and human brains do care about neatness. So where does it all start? Discuss...
