Spoiler Saver & Christmas Riddle Riddle: 2 mums & 2 daughters went out for Christmas dinner, each ate one portion, yet only three portions were eaten in total. How is this possible?
The answer to the riddle is they were three people, Grandmother, Mother, and granddaughter. the mother being both a mother and daughter herself. Not watched the video yet I'm hoping it goes better than the last.
@@jonathaningram4672 I apologise that my poor grammar offended you so much that you felt the need to post a churlish reply. I'll try to do better in the future.
Thanks Shawn, I'm sure I'm just one of many that have been asked regarding the TV stuff and seeing I'm not that competitive, the chances of seeing MMV on TV would be the same as the wider public enjoying the yellow mat...Never going to happen 😂👌
@@Mymatevince fair enough. We have an idiom that goes "don't count your chickens before they hatch". Regardless, I hope your desired outcome of those things comes to fruition. You've been doing this for a long time, well deserving of any and all acknowledgement.
@My Mate Vince the burning was caused by water damage when we get leaks in properties we sometimes get carbon trails caused when electricity flows through water using the cabon as the conductor (path of least resistance)and shorts and then is allowed to dry leaving behind the carbon. The water gets in through the base, the air draws in from the sides but also causes air to be drawn in from the bottom, the same way the top part works air around the edge draws air through the middle. Guessing someone moped a bit to much lol.
"Nothing worse than buying something working when its supposed to be faulty." said only 1 person ever! I had to relisten to that line 3 times and I laughed every time!
In order to prevent the circuit breaker to blow, you can put an incandescent bulb in series with the load. In case of a short circuit, the bulb will switch on brightly. Otherwise it might just light up very dimly. Do not use your variac transformer without propper protection. A short-circuit can draw enough current to melt the thin wire in your variac. Great content, btw!
What you can do to test Mains voltage equipment is to connect a 60W filament bulb in line with the live cable and if it's ok the lamp with hardly glow but if the unit has a fault instead of it going bang and maybe damaging anything else on the board the lamp will just light and not damage anything else. Great repair.👍
Totally agree with the sentiment. @2'08" "I'm already happy, Worth every penny, Nothing worse than buying something working when it's supposed to be faulty". Kinda sums up a fair proportion of my most enjoyable activities. Recognizing, Analyzing and hopefully Overcoming problems and obstacles. Probably the fundamental reason humanity has progressed so far. Works for me!!! Nice one
@@ellisgarbutt1925 If I don't unwrap a bumper bottle on Christmas morning, there will be some serious foot stomping, slamming of doors AND a unrestrained amount of passive aggressiveness getting dealt out!
It's the carbon in water that causes that when we go in to fix leak damage. The short makes a path through the carbon in water it dries and you find small carbon paths on wiring and circuit boards. It's a fault finding nightmare.
Excellent video as always Vince. I just wanted to say that I’m a tree cutter working for the electricity board. We clear all the trees that grow near the hi voltage overhead cables. We’re not allowed to have fires and burn the branches we cut purely for the reason that the carbon particles in the smoke can conduct the electricity back down to earth and perhaps harm or kill someone. Just thought it was an interesting little fact because of what you found in the fan. Thanks again for the great videos, keep them up 👍
I love repairing things and just yesterday found your channel. I had to pause the video to check out the IR on my remote using my phone camera. FANTASTIC!! I've already learned several things from you mate!
Carbon is used on motor brushes but compacted, the camera on your phone doesn’t have an infa-red (IR) filter on it. Excellent fix well done, I did notice the top of the oscillator motor was wet, well done Vince great fix thanks mate
You are a unique human being, as we all are.... one of a kind. Don’t fret about confidence. If someone is interested in you, based on what they’ve seen, be yourself, no confidence needed. Really enjoy video’s, all the best.
Well Done Vince, you know I'm a FAN of your work! :) At least that repair was a bit of a BREEZE compared to the other fan! Well done, seems we both have working Dyson fans now, although your fault was different to the one I did 👍👍👍Great Job as usual!
Always wanted a Dyson fan, but settled for a duux fan which is an awesome fan, quiet enough for the bedroom, remote included and a very good breeze, awesome fix there Vince I hope your 2023 goes great, brill news about the sponser and have a fixing (less) Christmas
Nice a sponsor, a working fan and an invite to talk on TV you deserve it Vince all your hard work and dedication is finally rewarding you and giving you what you deserve.
Not watched live tv for 3 years or so now I have become more content with on demand but would certainly love to see everyones mate Vince on the TV. Guy Martin wasnt very keen on his TV Career he found it hard to talk to the camera and not a person, he would have to get someone to stand around it. Quite similiar in a fashion he was a succesful motorbike racer and you busted moves on your skateboard, he currently works as a mechanic keeping people moving, and you once worked as an Telephone engineer keeping people talking, He builds things and restores, you fix things and restore, only difference is your OK talking to a camera you do it for us lot weekly. Would love to see you hit the 1 million mark, You never ask people to like and subscribe your just you which I admire, Great video as always.
So just herd the TV invite. I've just done one for Hochanda in Peterborough and it was quite an experience and definitely one you should take. Remember your the expert and everyone is rooting for you. If it goes wrong just laugh at yourself and they'll refilm it. In fact I'm going back over Christmas to film some more. Good luck Vince 😎😎😎😎
Hi Vince. We had an upright fan similar to your old one. Harry our Alsation had been left in the house whilst we went to the supermarket, a while after this we turned the fan on, Massive bang and all trips blew, Harry had wee'd on the fan whilst we were out. I found it very strange that no fuses blew either in the plug or the fan. Maybe the fuse board trips cut out so fast, the fuses dont have time to blow. Thing is, the equipment will blow everytime it's switched on, a bit dis-concerning. When I saw where it was black, I really thought the fan motor had blown. Great bit of investigation,, and the cheapest of fixes ever.
Good news on the sponsor mate.. great stuff.. I used e spares a lot in the past.. they're great for washing machine parts .cooker parts. However small..
Hi Vince, nice fix once again. I can hear that you've got the cold once again, get well soon and when you are fit again, show some love to the toaster in the kitchen 😁😁😁 It has so many scratches.
Thanks Marcel, I've got the flu good and proper this time. Much worse than Covid! It been over a week now and I still can't shift it. Good news is I am up and about and no longer changing t-shirts every hour from being wet through. Still having to Data Vac myself down for cooling every now and then 😂 Multi uses that tool 😉
Soooo soo happy to hear you have sponsorship an new opportunities going forward. Your videos have been so helpful to me on a year that has been the worst for me an mu partner . I wish u a merry Xmas to u an family an look forward to more of the best content on TH-cam
That's a great point about the voltage and ground, because voltage is just the (potential) difference between two points. It's like the difference between the ground and the floor, it's the same when the floor is on the ground, but it's a lot different if you're in a penthouse on top of a skyscraper, or deep in an underground tunnel..
A very satisfying little fix (sometimes I wish TH-cam had Smell-O-Vision, but this is not one of those times, so I'm happy to make do with your description), and congratulations on the long-term sponsorship - I'm sure that will remove some of the stress of your money-gobbling Rolls project. And we all benefit by having you able to keep making videos on it. Excellent.
Well Done on all the hard work you put in creating all the videos you make Vince..You deserve it 100%..love the big boom on this one, Thought by the sound of that it would be total toast inside.
Hi Vince .. not sure if this has been mentioned but Telephones can see the infra red remotes as they do not usually have an infre red filter but most cameras will have an infra red filter and therefore not detect the infra red led. Great video as always
The origional internal partitions were breaze block. When the on-suite was built the blockwork between bedroom one and two was replaced with arated concreate block. I rember how much sanding my brother and I had to do on dad's crap plastering in bedroom two to get a reasonably smooth surface.
From what it seems from friends who have had these kind of dyson fans is they're good for 3 or so years and then they stop working. Then you spend more to get another. It's similar to their vacuums, they work great... for the first 3 years and then they progressively lose suction until they just stop working all together
As soon as you finished cleaning I instantly saw the tracking that had occurred between the Live and Neutral Headers. This is a common issue caused by dirt or moisture. Removing contamination and scratching a bit of a gap in the pcb where the tracking occurred is the way to do it.
@@Axl_Pose I am a full time electronics engineer and decided that it was best to Leave the TH-cam channel where it is. My channel does a good job of covering the Basics of electronics in a way that I feel could help introduce more people to the subject. One day I may come back to it in some shape or form. These days, I'm heavily interested in Artificial Intelligence, Science and Industrial Automation
@@SimplyElectronicsOfficial That's cool, I understand. I've been subbed to your channel for quite a few years and your videos really helped me get a grasp on how components work, I still revisit them from time to time. Thank you for your reply :)
Hey Vince, glad to hear you're doing well! My Mate Vince on tv would be awesome. Enjoyed this repair because in the beginning it really puzzled me why the board was that charred without any visible component damage ... Congrats on the achievement 👏👏👏👏👏
I have come across old plugs that got hot when plugged in when the appliance was switched off ... a coating of carbon had built up over the years between the pins...... removing the coating with fine abrasive paper cured the issue !
FYI, just because you can see the little infrared LED light up when you press a button and look through your phone camera, it doesn't actually mean the remote is working :) It just means the remote is working enough to shine the LED. I have a TV remote for one of my old TVs, the remote works just enough to make the LED turn on, but, it doesn't work enough to tell the TV what to do.
One of my old managers told me ‘when you can’t you must’ so get on there and do the Telly work. You’ll be brilliant. You pretty much do it now on your car vids. Think of all the new subscribers!!
Cat pee is incredibly conductive. So you are correct that it has been sparking for a while, then the carbonization between the two terminals for the AC line input, tracked and shorted. Strange the plug fuse didn't blow though...
Vince another feature of that fan I think is you can tilt the fan backwards a little bit to aim the cool breeze higher. I think you just tilt the curved part the air comes out of from the round base it sits on.
glad to hear the good news for youtube 2023! Mind sharing who the sponsor is? I honestly think you have a great voice for TV - might really be worth considering! Excited about the defibrillator you spoilered ;)
Great video Vince as usual. I've only been watching a few months but binge most days. I like to try and fix things and have learnt so much from you and gained confidence. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you
You should really get yourself a light bulb to act as a current limiter!! So simple but yet so effective. You simply wire a 60W filament light bulb inline with the live between the mains and the questionable item, (have one set up with a mains plug, light socket and mains socket you can plug in any time you need to test something) if there is a short the bulb then just lights up instead of things blowing up and tripping the power or damaging your variac etc!
congrats Vince on all the good news... the sponsorship and the TV deal (I have my fingers crossed for you). hopefully I will get to see it and I'm sure your will do amazingly. well deserved.
Hi Vince, testing AC stuff, I would highly recommend a variac and or a simple current limiter. A simple current limiter can be made with a 100w light bulb (or any high power resistive load) in series with your D.U.T (Device Under Test) Mr Carlson's Lab has a very nice one. This would save breaker trips, blown fuses and potentially more damage to the D.U.T.
Vince, you need a light bulb in series with the stuff you plug in. The light bulb will go full bright if the item you are trying to repair is shorted. It's really helpful, and safer than feeding the item with full mains voltage.
Sitting here 1am watching whilst finishing up my Seiko 4R35 custom Tuna I bought for £50, just finished polishing the insides of the sapphire crystals on front and back, final dab of rodico on the now spotless dial, inserted the stem in with a freshly loctited crown and button'd up and thing is like brand new :) Yesterday using conductive paint and conductive epoxy I brought back from the leaked battery dead a National Semiconductor LCD watch, had to redraw half the circuit board and repair several solder joints but new battery in and working like new... all this was drawn on the inspiration of your very early watch video and the video's that followed teaching this old dog new tricks indeed :)
Amazing video! Nice job with the repair and good luck with your sponsorship and some more great videos in 2023, and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Definitely cat wee - seen that before and it's difficult to get rid of the damage made by the arcing - but you did a great job! Strangely conductive stuff!
nice repair and it looks like everything is on the up for you in 2023 I hope next year is the same for me after bad medical news this year also the reason you can see the remote working on your phone is because your phone camera doesn't have a IR filter or something I think but some phones do have the filter on the camera so I guess your main camera has the filter so you cant see the light from the remote
Love your streams. For shorts, you should really use a "Megger" (Insulation/Resitance) tester, which is the correct instrument. Not just multimeter on the Resitance setting.
Have to say I was expecting a smoke emitting device rather than carbonisation - good catch. That darn cat ! I had a computer fail because of Act Of Cat. My fault for leaving the case off while fixing it, and not checking the cat wasn't hiding in the computer room. I let the cat out next day, noticed little yellow needle-shaped crystals on the floor of the case, cleaned up the pee, and carried on. About 6 months later the motherboard failed, and I noticed a lot of corroded tracks in the bottom corner. Sadly BER and replaced the MB. Well done.
26:13 the reason why you don't see it on your main camera is because they usually have an infrared filter in the lens now smartphones also have it but it isn't quite as aggressive thus some infrared is still able to pass through.
The first thing you should have done before plugging it in is a low ohms check, although you did from the plug ,or use a variac, and wind the voltage up slowly,and If you see a high current demand at low voltage there be a short 😉
If it had have been in Australia I would have said the fault was caused by a cockroach. Those things kill more dishwashers, coffee machines, microwaves and ovens than just about anything else over here. All you find is a big black scorch mark and a bunch of random legs. Nice work mate.
Congratulations on all the good news you deserve it as I know how much time is involved in producing content that is the quality yours is, side note that fan repair is as good as new and I would have no worries using it in my home you will have no issues with safety 👍
I honestly thought that once the board was out and cleaned up that you were going to dissappear and return wearing a Hazmat suite, full face mask and ear defenders. Then connect it up and switch it on to see just were it was sparking from. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video Vince, loved seeing you playing about those live wires. I can see you use "Head & Shoulders" so go for the T.V. roll. Perhaps you could be on the "Repair Shop" as a guest appearance! On a serious note. Playing about with electrical pieces of equipment without knowing fully as to what you're doing is perhaps something the T.V. companies wouldn't want to get involved with. But mending electronic toys and games etc. could be something they might go for. As others have said well deserved Vince. Now, go get them 'Japanese Pliers' I told you about.
Well done Vince ... you are clearly learning a lot from ElectroBoom 😀. And as for TV work, really try to find out what they are looking for as well as ‘the angle’ they are approaching it. I think your natural enthusiasm would shine through. Best of luck and have a great Xmas!
I am watching Vince now for a longer time and because of him, I have become interested in repairing stuff especially electronics as well, also with success. I really learned from Vince and then also bought some books as an addition. But while this is not just a very interesting and informative channel it is also real entertainment. Where else do you find a guy who is blowing his home fusebox and is happy about it because the eBay description is correct? And telling you that he will have to change his trousers after the bang? 😂
Last time I saw a board and case look like that was when I miswired an NL2 connector from AC power with hot to ground (long story). Shot 110v across the board so none of the fuses tripped and tripped every breaker I plugged it into.
Hall effect sensors are there to tell what position the motor is in and then it sends voltage in a circular motion and shuts off coils not needed really fast for fans is how I understand it and they can also power coils simultaneously in pairs or separately depending on the operation needed
This fella is proof you don't have to score 98% in Advanced Circuit Analysis to repair consumer electronics. I don't remember hearing "Follow the flame," in that class but I tend to nap during lecture so I could have missed it.
Sounds like 2023 is gonna be an awesome year for you vince,no better person for it to happen to,another brilliant year of videos,thanks for keeping us all entertained,Merry Christmas to you and all the family mate
Also on the safety side of things Vince, if a 100w fan turns up with a 13A fuse in the plug (like the last one)..change it for something sensible like 1A or 3A. 13x240= 3.1kW. A fan doesn't need that.
Where the 2 active + neutral are soldered to the board, the terminals as you said have 2 pins each that are soldered to the board and the liquid would have shorted the soldered pads right on the edge of the board and the copper pads that the edge pins are soldered to have been vaporised and sprayed all over the plastic housing.

Surely it depends on the power rating of the Variac?

One of my old managers told me ‘when you can’t you must’ so get on there and do the Telly work. You’ll be brilliant. You pretty much do it now on your car vids. Think of all the new subscribers!!
Class video yet again Vince. Cracking buy and fix. Summer 23 will be a breeze 😅
Tip from Eddie over at Kiss Analog. Use an upside down tupperware container as a blast shield if you are worried about exploding components.
Happy to hear about the sponsorship! Wonder if it's ifixit, lol. Great fix and great video. Keep it up!
Cat pee is incredibly conductive. So you are correct that it has been sparking for a while, then the carbonization between the two terminals for the AC line input, tracked and shorted.
Strange the plug fuse didn't blow though...
Very unusual condition. Great fix.
Vince so great to hear the positive news and your hard work is being noticed. I always enjoy your content no matter what you are fixing.
Awesome to see this working properly again! Good luck on the potential television offer! I am looking forward to more videos!
Vince another feature of that fan I think is you can tilt the fan backwards a little bit to aim the cool breeze higher. I think you just tilt the curved part the air comes out of from the round base it sits on.
glad to hear the good news for youtube 2023! Mind sharing who the sponsor is? I honestly think you have a great voice for TV - might really be worth considering!
Excited about the defibrillator you spoilered ;)
Wow! Vince.. Wasn't expecting it to be such a big bang!
Great video 👍
Great video Vince as usual. I've only been watching a few months but binge most days. I like to try and fix things and have learnt so much from you and gained confidence. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you
You should really get yourself a light bulb to act as a current limiter!! So simple but yet so effective. You simply wire a 60W filament light bulb inline with the live between the mains and the questionable item, (have one set up with a mains plug, light socket and mains socket you can plug in any time you need to test something) if there is a short the bulb then just lights up instead of things blowing up and tripping the power or damaging your variac etc!
congrats Vince on all the good news... the sponsorship and the TV deal (I have my fingers crossed for you). hopefully I will get to see it and I'm sure your will do amazingly. well deserved.
Hi Vince, testing AC stuff, I would highly recommend a variac and or a simple current limiter. A simple current limiter can be made with a 100w light bulb (or any high power resistive load) in series with your D.U.T (Device Under Test) Mr Carlson's Lab has a very nice one. This would save breaker trips, blown fuses and potentially more damage to the D.U.T.
Vince, you need a light bulb in series with the stuff you plug in. The light bulb will go full bright if the item you are trying to repair is shorted. It's really helpful, and safer than feeding the item with full mains voltage.
and it also prevents further damage
Been watching pretty much from day 1 sounds like exciting times ahead totally well deserved & well done!
Sitting here 1am watching whilst finishing up my Seiko 4R35 custom Tuna I bought for £50, just finished polishing the insides of the sapphire crystals on front and back, final dab of rodico on the now spotless dial, inserted the stem in with a freshly loctited crown and button'd up and thing is like brand new :) Yesterday using conductive paint and conductive epoxy I brought back from the leaked battery dead a National Semiconductor LCD watch, had to redraw half the circuit board and repair several solder joints but new battery in and working like new... all this was drawn on the inspiration of your very early watch video and the video's that followed teaching this old dog new tricks indeed :)
Amazing video! Nice job with the repair and good luck with your sponsorship and some more great videos in 2023, and have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Definitely cat wee - seen that before and it's difficult to get rid of the damage made by the arcing - but you did a great job! Strangely conductive stuff!
nice repair and it looks like everything is on the up for you in 2023 I hope next year is the same for me after bad medical news this year also the reason you can see the remote working on your phone is because your phone camera doesn't have a IR filter or something I think but some phones do have the filter on the camera so I guess your main camera has the filter so you cant see the light from the remote
Congrats on your sponsorship! Well deserved. 🎉
Amazing i would never of thought it could be saved looking at the damage first off for the uninitiated that would of gone into landfill
Love your streams. For shorts, you should really use a "Megger" (Insulation/Resitance) tester, which is the correct instrument. Not just multimeter on the Resitance setting.
Have to say I was expecting a smoke emitting device rather than carbonisation - good catch.
That darn cat !
I had a computer fail because of Act Of Cat.
My fault for leaving the case off while fixing it, and not checking the cat wasn't hiding in the computer room.
I let the cat out next day, noticed little yellow needle-shaped crystals on the floor of the case, cleaned up the pee, and carried on.
About 6 months later the motherboard failed, and I noticed a lot of corroded tracks in the bottom corner.
Sadly BER and replaced the MB.
Well done.
26:13 the reason why you don't see it on your main camera is because they usually have an infrared filter in the lens
now smartphones also have it but it isn't quite as aggressive thus some infrared is still able to pass through.
The first thing you should have done before plugging it in is a low ohms check, although you did from the plug ,or use a variac, and wind the voltage up slowly,and If you see a high current demand at low voltage there be a short 😉
Congrats on the sponsorship and with the TV offer see if you can just to behind the lens stuff 🤙
Me and the wife love watching Vince, we take non monetary bets whether it will be a fix or not
If it had have been in Australia I would have said the fault was caused by a cockroach. Those things kill more dishwashers, coffee machines, microwaves and ovens than just about anything else over here. All you find is a big black scorch mark and a bunch of random legs. Nice work mate.
Congratulations on all the good news you deserve it as I know how much time is involved in producing content that is the quality yours is, side note that fan repair is as good as new and I would have no worries using it in my home you will have no issues with safety 👍
Wow! What a bang! Very nice fix.
I honestly thought that once the board was out and cleaned up that you were going to dissappear and return wearing a Hazmat suite, full face mask and ear defenders. Then connect it up and switch it on to see just were it was sparking from. 🤣🤣🤣
To disconnect the oscillation arm there is a black cover on the bottom to gain easy access to disconnect it with 2 screws.
Great video Vince, loved seeing you playing about those live wires. I can see you use "Head & Shoulders" so go for the T.V. roll. Perhaps you could be on the "Repair Shop" as a guest appearance! On a serious note. Playing about with electrical pieces of equipment without knowing fully as to what you're doing is perhaps something the T.V. companies wouldn't want to get involved with. But mending electronic toys and games etc. could be something they might go for.
As others have said well deserved Vince. Now, go get them 'Japanese Pliers' I told you about.
Thanks for that, I put clean underpants on this morning, now I have to change them again after that BANG 😅
Well done….very well done and good luck with your future ventures 👏👏
Well done Vince ... you are clearly learning a lot from ElectroBoom 😀. And as for TV work, really try to find out what they are looking for as well as ‘the angle’ they are approaching it. I think your natural enthusiasm would shine through. Best of luck and have a great Xmas!
I am watching Vince now for a longer time and because of him, I have become interested in repairing stuff especially electronics as well, also with success. I really learned from Vince and then also bought some books as an addition. But while this is not just a very interesting and informative channel it is also real entertainment. Where else do you find a guy who is blowing his home fusebox and is happy about it because the eBay description is correct? And telling you that he will have to change his trousers after the bang? 😂
another awesome repair i look forward to seeing you on TV Vince
I agree with you. That's some type of Liquid got spilled in it.
Last time I saw a board and case look like that was when I miswired an NL2 connector from AC power with hot to ground (long story). Shot 110v across the board so none of the fuses tripped and tripped every breaker I plugged it into.
Hall effect sensors are there to tell what position the motor is in and then it sends voltage in a circular motion and shuts off coils not needed really fast for fans is how I understand it and they can also power coils simultaneously in pairs or separately depending on the operation needed
This fella is proof you don't have to score 98% in Advanced Circuit Analysis to repair consumer electronics. I don't remember hearing "Follow the flame," in that class but I tend to nap during lecture so I could have missed it.
Sounds like 2023 is gonna be an awesome year for you vince,no better person for it to happen to,another brilliant year of videos,thanks for keeping us all entertained,Merry Christmas to you and all the family mate
Oha, telly stuff?
Sounds awesome 👍
Also on the safety side of things Vince, if a 100w fan turns up with a 13A fuse in the plug (like the last one)..change it for something sensible like 1A or 3A.
13x240= 3.1kW. A fan doesn't need that.
That's great news, Vince! Nice one!
Go for it m8 think you would be a natrual , certainly make me smile when i watch your vids best of luck luck with all you decide to do .
Where the 2 active + neutral are soldered to the board, the terminals as you said have 2 pins each that are soldered to the board and the liquid would have shorted the soldered pads right on the edge of the board and the copper pads that the edge pins are soldered to have been vaporised and sprayed all over the plastic housing.
Excellent bit of forensics
Congrats on the repair…and yeah, that’s probably Cat spray. My cat did it to our skybox when I was a kid. Stank and blew up. Lol
Vince, thank you for the interesting new video. Great job!
Dude go for it . Make it while you can . Thanks for the interesting videos .
