I wish I could get a Rugged 7212 for repair haha. Never seen the Adamo model that looks similar to a microsoft surface book (gonna upload a video with repairing that soon). Talking about DELL's in the next few weeks I will fix a XPS one... I think its a 15inch. Didn't have the time to get to it yet haha

I have not been electrocuted haha, that would be once in a lifetime experience :D I've been shocked with 220v a few times. Although the exposure was not more than a second, it did leave a strong burn on the contacted area. The mark did fade now since that has happened about 20 years ago.

Oh!!! I just checked the captions, I did say electrocuted ! haha thanks for the correction. 🙈

Thank you for the comment. I have replied to everyone below, let me know if your opinion have changed. Also the opinion of being scammed is different to everyone. But i will make a small conclusion to prove the fact: 1. (Scam) the display driver: ordered for the ipad screens which is powered through usb-c , but i received an absolutely different product 2. (partial scam) the heat plate: judging from the page, i was expecting it to have a power rating of 500w, but I guess I am too naive(there is a longer explanation below in the comments about this), but it does work. I will most likely create a power limiter circuit in the near future 3. (Not a scam) power meter 4. (Not a scam) Cable tester 5. (partial scam) the snippers - they are coated with "black paint" on handheld tools, the point of such coating is to prevent rust, but as you saw in the video, that coating is scraped of with ease. But the tools seems to work. Also I got what I paid for 6. (Not a scam) The mini voltmeter - GORGEOUS! 7. (not a scam) component tester - great device 8. (not a scam) peltier 9. (scam) the magnetizer/demagnetizer - as mentioned in another comment, it did not demagnetize a single of the magnetized components that I have tested of camera. To conclude, there is a plural number of scams in the video. I am not great at verbalizing on a live commentary video. The idea of buying all these cheap products is that I was expecting to be scammed harder. Thank you for your feedback

If you noticed in the video ( and the part where i show the product and the product page ), the devices are different. I paid for a usb-c powered one that looks different from what I have received. I have failed to verbalize properly in the video. Thank you for the feedback.

I agree! Low heat = low ressistance, also its possible to be temperature controlled. But for something thats a noname brand from aliexpress without any datasheet with the only thing being written 500w on the sales page, one might expect it to be the power rating 😄

@Stonelab Stated Watts, Lumen, mAh, etc., on any of the marketplaces, I tend to take with a truckload 🚛 of salt... IME usually anything from mild to utterly wild exaggeration to look good to the unknowing, but occasionally understatements likely due to not really knowing what they're selling. (be extra vary when there's a serious mismatch in product type and shop name, like electronics components/modules sold by something like Erica's wig shop...)

A peltier can be used to cool one side, heat the other if supplied power and it will do so wastefully as the technology in it self is quite useless and a freon using system will produce not only better results but also will have better performance. If heat instead is given to the peltier, it will generate power. There was no intent this time to create any technical measurements with the peltier, it was just to see if it works - which it did. As I do not have a big use case for it today, it was bought with the intent to be used as a load. This might be only the second video where I had the intent to do a live commentary, I don't usually speak while I do things as I always avoid multitasking. About the magnet, as mentioned in one of the previous comments, I tested previously, it does not demagnetize. I could make a follow up covering all the things from the comments for the next video. About the energy meter having wifi and or bluetooth, I find the spyware apps pointless, also I didn't give enough attention to the device. I only scratched the surface on all of the products. Thank you for the feedback :)

I know the bit driver that I was using has a magnet inside, but it doesn't change the fact that the magnetizer/demagnetizer(the tool) does not demagnetize. The magnetic "testing" part in the video was quite synthetic as I have tried it a few days before filming the video. I could make a follow up video to address many of the comments here. I hope to be wrong :) The point of the story is that: I magnetize quite a few items which can be magnetized (metal screws, non aluminum metal pieces...) and I was not able to demagnetize any single one of them.

I would like to see you magnetize the bit, i that part works, try to demagnetize the bit Just to try. I am aware that the most of the products doesnt do what they are suppost to do

MCU based cable tester might be overkill - unless you are interested in having specific resistances or diode value read outs :0 That would be quite useful on phone motherboard specific connectors 🤔 About the PTC heater taking more power - I might be wrong, but according to my knowledge and documentation online (one example we can use "BOYD Corporation - PTC Heaters Guide SAFER AND FASTER HEATING SOLUTIONS"). A power rating is a value that is not something to be exceeded to avoid device damage and to have expected results. Unless I am too naive and believe that aliexpress would note a power rating, maybe its constant power rating, maybe its peak power rating. Who knows, there is no datasheet or information what type of heater is used and what are its limitations. If it says 500w but its pulling 1200w, I will just in case be a coward and hide my face a little before the surprise hits me in the face 😄

Hey, if i understand correctly what you are asking: when removing the front dust cover, there are in total 10 screws that you need to unscrew to split it. There screw heads are triangle shape. Hope it helps.

Similar to how the x230 and t14 enter keys are - there are two long metal stabilizers. Push a spudger in between the key and the stabilizer and it should easily pop off.

I salute your ability to find chips! I have already taken a few parts from the fnirsi donor, but i think we can for sure revive it. I'm going to order it in December and do a video next year when I'm back in my lab :^)

Their display is made in a way that you must desolder the ribbon cable (from what I understood, so if thats the case), its really not a good design in terms of repairability. I dont have any videos soldering them but you can try looking up "soldering ffc connector" on youtube. That ribbon is right below the screen, so be careful with your soldering iron because you will melt its frame in a second.

Have to do it twice since there are two buds! Apple No thank you

@Stonelab oh yeah true, if both fail at a similar time

I really don't recommend fairphone 5. Their update for the operating system recently came out and its litterally a step backwards when it comes to functionality. They mentioned that "audio can now be lower" as an upgrade smh ....

Sure is better than buying slave labour garbage 🤡🤣

Currently daily driving a Pixel 7a. It costs 2 times less, original parts are available from ifixit (including guides for repair). Good brightness, comfortable to hold, display finger print scanner (which is a hit or miss), nice speakers, camera is in the top 10. Most importantly - Graphene OS (if you are into privacy and custom ROMs). The phone still makes me happy and absolutely delivers. Currently its also greatly priced as its been live for a few years, might be discontinued soon, but I don't think there is anything else on the market that I would recommend. I'm not a very big phone person, i only use it for greyjay and signal, so can't really give much on performance. Hope this helps :^)

I eventually figured it out. The delete key has a stabilizer bar under it on the bottom side of the keycap that goes from edge to edge. Once that's disconnected then release the : looking clips from the top near the center then slide the key down and off.
