excellent job! One thing to consider... try a small (ie the smallest) zip tie you can get, cut flush as a strain reliever. Pull tight against the through hole and put a drop of adhesive to hold it in place. The wires will be easier to place. Have you thought about using a cast of an original sensor back to raise your repair to the next level? Just a question about testing. were you able to get the drivers/basic twain software to test these?
a zip tie will cause the wire to break like it did originally. tying a knot works a lot better for longevity, even though it's much more difficult to maneuver into the place. I have also started pre-tying the knot with a drop of glue to make it easier. I have tried using a replacement back case, was able to buy a large lot of bad sensors for parts, but it is much more difficult to seal the sensor properly, and there's no advantage other than the look, so it doesn't justify the additional risk of fully opening the sensor. I don't usually mess with drivers, I just check if I can see the usb device string. there is a "calibration" file that you have to have with the driver for the sensor to function, which in reality has nothing to do with calibration, but is a "unlock code" for their hidden licensing scheme. most customers are reluctant to share these.
@@AlecKristi the idea of the zip tie is to secure the cable for soldering... sugru makes a nice flexible strain reliever, on either side (or both) of the throughway.....and is ultimately easy to remove :)
Alex boa tarde. Arrumei cabo do sensor que estava com mal contato, porém não fechei ele com epóxi. Fiz teste no com raio x e não aparece imagem. Imagem só vai aparecer depôs que fecha esse sensor com epóxi ?
@@AlecKristi There's a guy who says there's basically the same thing. Strange little community here in the small oral xray sensor world that I am a part of now
I have not ran in to the issue of overheating... So far, every sensor I've repaired was a broken wire due to repeated bending (bad strain relief design) or a patient bite.
Hi alex recently I look your video.. excelent

Do you fix them as a business I have one to be fixed
Where do you get that epoxy?
When you sliced the wire at 5:00... yikes!
Can you tell me what kind of epoxy are you using and where can I get it?
The specific one I use is my secret ;).. but any good quick setting metalized epoxy will do, just check MSDS to make sure it isn't toxic when cured.
Have you repaired the new dexis titanium by chance?
No, haven't come across one yet

Is it a dental x-ray sensor
yes, it is
Hi sir i want to ask something
This devices over heating what is the problem
