LED Tester - Single and LED strips can be tested as well as zener diodes too
This tester is very cool. I'll show you how I tested a single LED and a LED strip. It has a one milli-amp setting that I was able to test the voltage of a zener diode too. I really that I can do that! There are several brands that can do this.

A video of my phone's battery replacement. This is not a user replaceable battery. If you attempt to replace the battery, make sure you have the electronics repair knowledge to do it and do it at your own risk. A lot can go wrong. Everything is glued in and the battery connecter is very delicate.The screws are really small and the components inside the phone extremely delicate.

Thx for the vid!
How do you test a really big electroletic capacitor? Say, 3600 micro Farad @ 65V?
The ESR70 Gold can measure capacitance as high as 90,000 micro farads. When using these meters always discharge the voltage in the capacitor to protect the meter and for your own safety. Some mains capacitors have a rating of 400 volts.
Great video!
What interface would I use to read from a W25R256JVEQ? I'm trying to fix my laptop :/ That one is the only 32MB chip I could find. I'm not even sure that is the BIOS chip but every other chip I found was 256K - 2MB.
The spec sheet shows this as a 266 Mbit 3v chip. I can only tell you what I would do.. I would really make sure there is an issue with the BIOS. Typically the BIOS needs to be customized, which is NOT an easy process. In my opinion reflashing the BIOS should be a last resort.
The De 5000 has to be my best bang per buck purchase. I've never tried the Esr70, I use a Bob Parker blue esr and it's been great. Thanks for the video.
I have been in servicing for 50 years and I keep learning tnx
Good stuff however you missed the most common capacitor, the good old flux capacitor.
Can't thank you enough for making this video . I did just what you said to do. Everything went just as you said it . Thank you again Matt
Thank you so much awesome video!
What do you do if after you replace the battery and the phone screen is black but you still get the vibrations from plugging it in and tapping the fingerprint sensor
I would just try the old battery and see if it works, just to rule out that the new battery is not defective in some way. I would also check to make sure that the display cable isn't damaged or accidentally pulled out.
@@anounceofbrilliance yeah I reopened it and found out that I accidentally disconnected it
Regardless of which one anyone decides to get, always check the programming software with virustotal to ensure there is no malware in it. XGecu programming software always shows malware. The newest version 12.67 shows three red flags from vendor scanners, but sandboxing tests are showing even other concerning behavours such as the application searching for outlook file locations. I would be careful until it is confirmed these are false positives.
i know this video is two years old but IT IS LITTERALLY THE ONLY VIDEO even talking about pixlr i swear nobody knows what it is i liked and subbed thx
Thanks. Pixlr is great and is a lot better than it was 2 years ago. I like it because it runs in the browser. You are definitely correct in that not many know what it is.
Thanks for the video, I don’t think the meter was sensitive enough to reliably find the short. I would have been nice to see how you connected the circuit with the multimeter and the whole project for inspiration. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment. While this circuit is not a replacement for voltage injection to find a short, it still seems to help get in the general area and definately works as a millohm meter.
Know I know them
Sorin explain these on his channel on ch341A when you put the bios on that when it power it on the 5v drops automatically at 3.3v when in use
1. someone said EZP2023 vs EZP2025. EZP2025 has more databases compare with previous one. is that mean if I connect unknown eeprom. chance to recognize it is bigger compare to old model 2. can I adding CH341 built-in databases 3. can I use SOP8 clip for CH341 in EZP2023
FWIW CH341a is merely an interface bridge, so if you can write software to interface with it, you can support whatever you like. The most common programming software for it is open source, so if you need something special you can update it yourself. When you're buying a programmer, try to find the list of supported chips and see if what you want to use it on is supported.
Cool stuff!
Very informative video! Thanks for this!
Ch341a is best it has a lot of community supports and also an open source hardware programmer
Nice one keep going
Get 'pound of brilliance' by using Kelvin probes with op amp circuit.
See the other video that Richard Langner metioned above. Well worth it!

Many thanks - just learning as I have an Asus mb with cpu light on 😀
You do not need to mod ch341a. Here is explenation why ua-cam.com/video/J8-Sh7DjiXw/v-deo.htmlsi=xhYhP5CdAwlYmxoT
Does the TL866 programmer work these 3 chips? AT89C52, MC68711E20CFNE2, 93C66
The unit I have in this video is a TL866-G3. The software shows the AT89C52 chip and the ACE93C66 (both x8 and x16 versions). So It appears it programs these versions. It did NOT show the MC68711 in the list. The non DIP version would require an adapter. The unit I bought did have some of these adapters included.
@@anounceofbrilliance ok awesome! Thanks for your help
This is helpful! Thank you 🤓
Why can't I find the list of the programmers?
They are all listed in the in video description. They are available from Amazon and other online retailers.
You should have shown a closeup of the controller board too Edit: for best results with viewer help, post high resolution photos of both sides close up where all markings are clearly visible.
Thanks for the knowledge and doing this review in English
What's your business contact?
Why do you ask?
Fake video you hide everything if measure a ,cap with my multi meter get the same results you got
Bios aside, I want to point out that the TL866 programmers (and the successors ...) also have the ability to test a bunch of IC's for proper function. If you work with older machines (retro stuff) you will appreciate that functionality once you get to discovering that feature. It might not do as many as the purpose built Retro Pro Chip tester but still useful to have.

If you inject a voltage at a point at the circuit which normally is at the same voltage or higher (preferably inject at the output of a voltage regulator circuit) than the injected voltage you shouldn't damage components. Use a current limited supply and start low and work up. Only work on the board you think has the short. Remove expensive components like the CPU if socketed and you are worried about damaging with the injected voltage. Use a Paraffin candle to detect heat - less dangerous than alcohol and wont evaporate like alcohol at room temp. There are a lot of these milli-Ohm measuring devices about but most people find themselves chasing their tail with them at some point. I am not saying don't use them as every tool in your armoury is worth having at some point but I would say to anyone - lower your expectations. If you have no or little experience in fault finding it will probably be next to useless.
Very nicely explained ❤
Great explanation. My old Weller Expert died and have been struggling to find a replacement iron that I like as much. The one you show second from the right is nice and I have found a decent controller for it. But, as you rightly say, you need the power (W) to prevent rapid cooling on large planes. Thanks.
I used to love Weller. Now my favorite is the one on the right side. It is the one that uses the T12 tips. They really heat up quickly and seem to hold the temp when soldering a connection that sinks the heat. The one I use is YIHUA 948DB+ II which I got on Amazon.
this video has informed me
Thanks for an informative video! :) I wasn't aware a wick could soak up all the heat if there wasn't enough power to constantly keep the temperature up.
Я думал это у меня руки трясутся. Да я сама стабильность.
It's solder not sodder!!! Can't you read???
All pcb’s after 2002 i think made with lead free solder, and it needs high temp to unsolder it, thats why he is adding leaded solder to it or low melt solder.

200 celsius?
This is not a repair video this should be how to remove and replace a chip You show us nothing
Great video! This helped me choose the right BIOS flash programmer! Thank you!
Good stuff!!
I never knew you could recover data from a hard drive! Thanks for this informative video!!
Awesome tip thank you!
Great short!!!!
Awesome video!
That was so, so informative. 400C and 60% air flow rate.... I don't think adding solder necessarily lowers the melting point, but rather clears the oxidation and therefore will need less heat to melt the underlying solder. Nice, very nice indeed. 👍👍
The solder I added was leaded. I really like your point about the oxidation layer on the existing solder. 👍
My hard drive failure can you data recovery possible
