My Solder Mask UV Light BROKE! | Can I FIX It?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2023
- I use this thing all the time, but it's stopped working. I don't remember dropping it! 😬
It's the catchily-named QianLi Intelligent UV Light Curing Lamp, and there's definitely no UV light coming out of it!
If you want one, they're here: amzn.to/3Men9vB
Let's have a look and let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Stupid. Solder. Mask. Curing. Device. Thing.
impressive fix
(circle of life)
Don’t shine that uv touch in my face mate, I’ve just lost a pint of blood
not sure but it looks like there was an empty spot just right of the Y1 for a 202? I wonder if that's intentional?
I kept wondering how you were going to solder mask the exposed track/wire on a soldering mask curer? Mirror contraption? 😂
Just in case you were wondering, these 2 digit 7 segment displays are simply light emitting diodes tied together with a common anode and separate cathodes. Each segment lights up when a current flows from the common anode to it's individual cathode.
Each digit has one anode so in your case, more than likely that anode was on the same power rail as that transistor. When it exploded, it knocked out two things in one go. The positive supply to the first digit of the display and also the UV LED too.
Some segment displays work the opposite way around...with only one common cathode and separate anodes. (Just to confuse us all!)
Since these are filmed under a microscope I tend to lose the sense of scale for the components you work with. I'm always really impressed when you fix stuff but seeing just how tiny that transistor was makes it even more impressive!
When he puts his finger on the circuit board... XD
There is no way you're able to fix it without a microscope and a micro soldering tip.
I feel the exact way.
@@goku445diode gone wild does this stuff with half an ounce of rosin and his grandpa's soldering gun.
Beer and watching Steve fix a uv light on a saturday evening, weekend highlight for sure.
I watch 3dbotmaker and lockpicking lawyer. But your videos are the best. The tunes, the electronics, the humour, and youre so down to earth.
Keep it up mate
Really is full circle when you fix the things that fix things. Well done!
Would be ironic if it needed a solder mask
@@tehedx thought thé same 😂😂😂
@@tehedx No lie, as soon as I saw him use the wire I went, "Wait..."
@@GameRaveTV 😂😂😂😂😂
I always forget he raps too. Its such a funny surprise. Total legend
Why do your hands often look like you run an underground cat fighting league.
Maybe he has a cat or ten

@@cerinicholls6143 Meow...
Kill jery
Maybe because he is 😜
Countdown soundtrack!!! 😂😂😂
Came here to comment that this gave me whiplash and my wife and I both busted out laughing when the countdown bit played
Great use of the Countdown music! 😆
I only discovered your channel recently, but just want to say thanks for all the videos 😂 entertaining and informative, as they say!
🎉🎉 Weeks after weeks, always great content, well done Sir!
Thanks M! Much appreciated 👍
STEZSTIX FIX!!!!!!!!!!
Really nice fix. As the channel grows so has the intricacy and neatness of the fixes. Very enjoyable.
And "Summertime" style parody in one video! I am done!
Hopefully you don't need any solder mask for this repair
lol, came here for this comment. i knew i wasn't the only one thinking it
out in the sun!
@@goku445 He lives in England, us Brits barely know what the Sun is
Haircut looking fresh Steve
Ahhh Steve, this is my favorite gadget that you use in your fixes - so glad you were able to get it working again!!!! Great *solid* fix as always. P.S. also thank you for showing us how really tiny these components are - under the microscope they look normal but its only when you show us the reality does one appreciate the effort involved!! 😀😀
Thanks Greg, yeah those components always look so big under the microscope! 😬
@@StezStixFix That's what you tell all the girls
@@relax142Man soll nicht von sich auf andere schließen. Wäre dir angeraten.
@@StezStixFix cut your fingernails!
@@StezStixFix That is what she said.
Maybe it's time to acknowledge evolution - from Cpt. Botch to Dr. Fix and from Nice to Boom. 👏👏
This was very meta. Repairing the tools you use to do repairs.
Hadn't heard Circle of Life in ages. This morning, my daughter starts listening to it. I go upstairs and start watching this video to get some respite. And then BOOM, here it is again. I'm so confused.
Synchronicity!
Awesome fix Capt'n!
Thanks Chris! 😍
I'd forgotten that disassembly song.
Nice.
Your flow is so good, l love the VOS Patreon time 😘
From now on i will only address you by your (semi) Official Title: Amazing Steve. This was world class. 99.99999% of the world population would have binned this item. No doubt. You, Amazing Steve, fixed it!!! You deserve way more than you will ever get...👍
Well done, Steve! Good thing you didn't need solder mask to fix it...
I'm glad the timer works but I still didn't get the conundrum in time... 😂
That song is going to be stuck in my head all day now..... thanks....
I have exactly the same device. I love it. Thanks for sharing the repair
Hopefully you don't need to put any solder mask on the solder mask curer 😬
Another SOLID job, done well! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the smooth groove VoS
OMG that rhymes for this is amazing.
Excellent fix Steve nice save 😊
Well done!
Very nice fix. Great job
Steve, I stopped watching another video when I saw the notification for this video! Great video mate! Glad you got it working. Please ask VOS to keep up with the great music
Well done on the repair,it looked a bit tricky,looking smart with your short back and sides haircut.💯✌🏻
Good work!
Crazy soldery thingy great video
Amazing lyrics and remix for Summertime 😊
ah yes. and now it is the time that he starts fixing his old things. im here for it Stez
I like the "summertime" haircut. 😊
Solid work!
count down tune lets gooooooooooooooo
Solid video Steve!!
Always a good day when you upload!!!
Nice fix
The song this week is an absolute banger!!!!
Awesome video as usual man!
Well done Steve you are a legend 👍👏👏😊
Steve love the videos ,please do a video, if you haven't done one, on the settings for the multimeter and how it works ie where you put your probes on boards and the various settings on the thing for all of us who have one but don't understand the hows and whys of it. solder skills to to die for thanks mate
great job!
Hair cut looking fresh mate
Great job!
good fix steve
Wow, i am overwelmed by the rhymes this time Steve! I never skip a song and i'm proud of it
this was a real Bill and Ted moment. you left a note for your past self to purchase the exact component you needed. and when you checked, yes you had indeed completed the loop.
Props to the makers of this lamp to mess up the design of such a primitive device.
It's incredible the size of those components
another great fix well done
Nice job....love your haircut! You should try a flattop, you'd look great
Enjoyed the vid, as always, thank you greatly for your solid content. Did you get the Bosch screwdriver-thingy from amazon? :)
😁 Thanks Roman! No, I haven't had one of those. 🤔 Did you buy it from the Wishlist!? I'll message you on Patreon...
Great guide. I just used it to open a brand new device to solder in a lipo since it came without it 😂
That synth tune is a real banger!
otro exito de Stix, otra mision cumplida, bravo
Another Solid fix👍😁
Love the Countdown-jingle! 😄
Steve: YOLO
Dave: Deep PCB analysis
So good
Excellent
Average American chiming back in -- your Americanized version of "continuity" is spot on. Nobody (that I'm aware of...) says "multimeter" like that, though. We pronounce it the same. In spite of that, I still found it hilarious and even appropriate. carry on :)
MulTIMuhter is Canadian
loved the countdown music
Another Tech device fixed by your good self Steve 👍
I love to see that you swim against the tide of this throwaway society and bring even cheap things back to life with little money, persistence and brain power.
Hey Steve! you should put some conformal coating on that little bit of wire, you know? put the conformal coating on then get your UV.......OH!
You are the man!!
For any newcommers: VOS = Voice over Steve
Awesome!
You are hilarious my friend. Never change !!🤣
That's a cute lil device.
All I use is this UV "flashlight" (torch?) that is for highlighting car A/C coolant leaks. It comes with the pretty yellow glasses. Very stylish! LOL
It's bulky and bright and is just the UV LED panel with 4 batteries inside. Very basic. But hey, it works.
But I do like that lil device you have.
Summer summer... er... VOS tiiiiiiiime.... LOVE IT!
Brilliant
Nice haircut Steve
Nice and .... Solid 👍
Good job I like 😊
One love circle of life device😀👍❤️🥂
Like the Red Dwarf reference 😂
Chameleonic life forms No Thanks!
I love fixing things that are said to be unfixable. Its like winning against "the man" lol.
Better than Ant and Dec for Saturday night entertainment!
Steve , it’s been a real pleasure watching your skill set advance. You’ve come such a long way in such a short time ! Great fix and always entertaining to watch you work and the commentary is just the tits ! Lol😂
"Good job past Steve". Your one liners kill me.
Brilliant! 😆😁
Get in!! Go Wrexham!!!!!
I asked in a previous vid, so excuse the repeat question. Which microscope do you use? Mine has mosquito noise on the screen - not as clear as yours (mine was the cheapest I could get, mind). Love everything about your channel. Learning lots.
Solid!!!
That’s wild you actually had that transistor on hand lol
Great fix. Luckily you didn't need to use solder mask for the fix.
When Steve runs out of things to fix, he starts breaking his own stuff😂
Nice.
LOL you mad man. You actually did it. From a joke to an outro song
