A Tip for Cod3r; Most all multimeter's since the late 80's have safety resistors on the Ohms meter. If you hold the probe on the power caps and turn the meter to Ohms, it will drain the caps out right quick. No need to play fiddly games with an external resistor.
As a tech for tube amplifiers, I get lit up every now and then. Sometimes there’s a bit of storage when you least expect it. It’s a shocking experience. Switch modes store between 170 to 340 volts. I made a discharge wand with a brass rod and 470 ohm 10w resistor. It’s slow. Y’all be careful with the small resistors. Could be a shocking experience.
Phil, Wouldn't it be great if you could just snap your fingers one more time and the console is fully repaired? Actually I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learned yesterday from another You Tuber that if you set your multimeter to ohms and measure across the live cap that it will drain the cap fast without damaging your meter. After doing that then check voltage and it should be drained enough to be safe. That You Tuber was EEVblog.
Hahah 😂😂 did ya have to crouch down on a power line, or wire ya phone into a light ? You in prison 😮 i had to do that other yr 😂 .or was ya starlink dish 📡 wobbly , can be a fu#@#@ that ....😂😂😂😂😂
EEVBlog recently posted a video on how to use a Multimeter to discharge the capacitors, its a lot easier than using the resistor in the video. It's worth checking out the video.
Hi Phil you know you can asfely dsicharge capacitor with multimeter. I do it years so . I did it when I worked on tv tube sets. Set your multimeter few seconds on ohms mode or if you lovz mode you can use it. Or use lamp bulb.
Caps can make for a bad day. Used to charge a big one with a mega and replace the car keys in the pocket. As long as they don't have a bad heart or pace maker good for a laugh, before H&S.
The Infiray is a high quality camera, but it's all about angles. I tilt the camera to prevent reflections. Here's a link to it if you want the one I have s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ex1S3NR
In the UK we have the benefit of plug sockets with on/off switches. You could benedit from this by having the mains cable powered off when plugging into the power supply under test, which would be much safer for you, instead of powering it on with a "Hot" lead. Secondly, you should invest in a 1:1 isolation transformer (not a variac) if you are going to continue in investigating power supply faults. You are less likely to damage yourself by allowing the ground side of your test equipment from becoming live!
I truly respect your skill but you really need to change your consolefix ad about taking money. I know you find it funny but it kinda comes off a bit cringy there buddy.
How many mistakes to handle a switching power supply: You really risk your life 1) you power it by inserting the cable 2) you use a 1/4 w resistor to discharge the capacitor (I didn't understand the value) 3) you insert the resistor with a metal clamp from above A) buy an isolation transformer Vin = Vout B) on the input put a 100W light bulb in series with the transformer C) on the output insert a light switch D) prepare two tips with a 20W resistor E) discharge the capacitor on the solder side
I m really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: My Okx wallet hold some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (proof inner hobby bounce blouse able donate virtual luggage cart morning ticket). How can send to Binance?
That's a nice scam you got going "not repairing power supplies", so you can charge the service + power supply and you get to keep the old powersupply to do it all over again. Once a con always a con right?
Hi everyone. Here's a link to the thermal cam I use just in case you want one for Christmas.

I purchased this last night buddy. Going to sell my Flir One Pro haha
Hi new subber. If ita not too much to ask can u pleass try and get captions for all your videos? Thanks.

i thought that and send my multimeter into orbit.
In cases like this, plastic tweezers might just be your friend!

Dude you dont need to clickbait i press like before even watching the video😂

You will when I catch you 😂

F *** in A 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great Repair, and no Injury or Death! Awesome Video Too! Thanks.

I hope you put lights on the desk, it's a little dark
Nice video, keep up the good work
set the multimeter to ohms mode and that will drain any high voltage caps using the meter ;)
grab a cheap pair of meter leads and wire them to a power resistor, less sketchy then.

Would have been interesting to see how hot the good IC ran to compare to the duff one.
Next one: this repair saves me children 😂😂😂😂
That's very good news about the boardview where can we download it?I did not find it on Discord 😕
A capacitor discharge tool would be a good investment 🤔
just use a screwdriver
"This repair will shock you" PART 2
You gotta risk it for that biscuit!
in your thermal camera how are you not getting reflections from the solder joints or any metal??
causes me to think something is hot when its not

You been risking your life a lot lately for us. Please be careful
Use a 3.3k power resistor to discharge the caps only takes a few seconds. And won't get too hot.
lol risked life 😂
Lol yep. Well, gotta clickbait the video for the algorithm 😂
@ 🤣
How about repair pc graphic cards?
Hello my friend, can you make a video explaining what tools and equipment a person needs to become a repair professional like you? Thank you 🙏🏼🌹
I can try when I get some free time

sony wants us to buy the ps5 pro so they have programed the ps5 to die 🤣
Click bait title - lol. 😂.
hehe so now you wanna be the HAHAMAN for a bit

Yeah, I hope his pride doesn't get in the way but that AD is possibly in the top 5 of worst. Gently put it out to pasture Phil.
Also, Why is the money shown as US currency? Shouldn't it be UK Pound notes?
Oh no, not another shocking vid ?
Maybe 🤭
Risked my life for views lol zaaap 😂
How many mistakes to handle a switching power supply:
You really risk your life
1) you power it by inserting the cable
2) you use a 1/4 w resistor to discharge the capacitor (I didn't understand the value)
3) you insert the resistor with a metal clamp from above
A) buy an isolation transformer Vin = Vout
B) on the input put a 100W light bulb in series with the transformer
C) on the output insert a light switch
D) prepare two tips with a 20W resistor
E) discharge the capacitor on the solder side
I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your work, but just to add balance I find your AD cringy and embarrassing so I skip it.

beware of this scammer bot.

where is static gloves b😅ro
there is no place for those in any professional repar shop.
Oh wait... There is, when MoD is the main contractor.
