Finding your way around a Multimeter all the basics (Fluke 115) Electronics Testing & Electricans
Can you use anything else to pry the case apart?
As others have said, the dangers of a single dead cell are very real and likely what the BMS has picked up on. I know the Xiaomi's let you view the BMS data over bluetooth, that would be worth checking, if it has this feature. Finally, rather than upping the amps on the PSU, leave the amps low and up the voltage. Check the voltage rating on the battery and go no higher than 95% of this. If it's a 37v battery, go to 35v, that will put you at 3.5v/cell (assuming balanced!) at which point the BMS should be happy to do the rest. If it was me I'd be checking Bluetooth data, or taking the pack apart to test for dead cells... If this wasn't an option I'd be charging it outside, the risks are just too high, especially when bypassing the BMS
the problem you can have is that you have a dead cell, the bms will protect against that. if you bypass it you can over charge the other cells with the associated risks of unpleasantness. If it won't run / charge via the BMS then you have a problem either with the BMS or you have an out of spec cell that it is protecting you from.
The proper charger should have been able to take over by now. If it doesn't charge, something is VERY wrong with the pack. Charging it the way you are will not balance the cells. Not worth the risk. I would just buy another battery. Even if you do get this thing to operate somewhat, it will likely be very poor output/runtime.
yes I do plan to replace the battery if everything else tests ok (motor, brake and speed controller) , finding it hard to find a battery pack to match the spec.
Hey, questions can the ram on these be u soldered and larder modules put back in
i'm sorry I don't know
OMG, I was about to have splash out £200 on a new box and in desperation did a bit of doctor google and came across your video, quick purchase of hard drive on Amazon for £18.99 and with your clear instructions even a girl can do it! Lost my saves channels but box working perfectly, thank you so much.
Excellent video and clear instructions, after watching this video and ordering a new drive from the Ebay link supplied (which arrived after only two days) I found it relatively easy to swap out the hard drive on my BT vision box. Once installed I needed to reset the BT vision box back to the factory settings, thanks to the clear instructions on the video this was quite easy however, I did have to follow the process a few times before the Maintenance Mode came up but once it did it was easy to follow and fully up and running in a few minutes. Thanks again.
Hi, Thanks for this really helpful, My BT box (1Tb) keeps switching off or giving a blank screen, primarily when viewing recordings although, my wife said it also happened when watching tv (which I have not seen, but I suspect it may have been pausd so then viewing from the HDD maybe? - Do you think replacing this will work or try a hard reset first and delete all recordings?
for the price of the drive I would just replace it, you can always use it in another project if it doesnt work out.
@@repairsnstuff Thanks, I have performed a hard reset, and reloaded the software which has changed it to EE TV menus in yellow now - I'll see how that goes if it starts to give blank screens again I will swap it out thanks. BTW which is the best BT Box the 'TV 4K Recordable Box' which is 4K and Ultra HD or the 'EE TV Box Pro'
@@user-fq4dh5cw7u EE TV Box Pro is newer has a faster processor and looks nicer so it gets my vote, I think it also has some voice control in the pro remote control
I have the same recorder you are working on now cannot get the volume on the remote up or down can you help 😭 6:05
the remote needs to be programmed for your TV, download the box manual and it shows you how to set your TV volume.
I have a humax hdr-fox t2 what s the best make hard drive you would recomend
hi, with this older units I would suggest for easy changing it for the same model as it currently uses.
@@repairsnstuff @ron2256 i have looked at mine which is in there its a 500gb normal desktop 3.5 one bearing in mind the security tag was still in place before i opened the box stuck fast so i know wiser what to do now most people are saying it should be a video one . So i no wiser.
Thanks for the video, and the links to the parts. I might have a go at fixing mine.
Very nice tutorial, it was nicer if you filmed when you dissasemble the tablet. I have the same tablet, with the same issue with the power connector, but i want to upgrade it to usb c, when i will have the time, :) but i like the tablet it is very snappy!
Don't fit a Seagate drive as they are very poor quality and tend to fail over time. Why no static straps?
I have a anti static mat, so I dont tend to use a strap.
Suddenly my Humax unit stated that there were no recordings on the disc. And it refuses to record anything when programmed ...drive has failed will have it replaced. Might use and SSD unit
Hi great video, please can you help i have the same model as you,the issue is I switch it on and its constantly in a cycle of waking up and youview loading
this problem can be caused by the hard drive, try getting it in to the maintenance menu and do a full reset
@@repairsnstuff hi thankyou for the reply,how do I do a full reset please,I tried holding the on and ok button simultaneously but screen goes blank then back to the cycle as before
@@markrocketmangrimstead no thats not the correct method for this boxes. 1. power off at wall 2. switch on wall switch while holding down the DOWN button on the top of the box. 3. when messages "maintanance mode Y" comes on the screen press the standy by button on the top of the box.
@@repairsnstuff thankyou I appreciate your advice,I will give that a go
Hi, I have that charging icon all the time and I haven't touched anything. It only changes when turned off. So I think that it's a design flaw rather that something you did wrong. About the soldering, would you change anything now that you look back?
Double check the usb port type before ordering and striping it apart....
These can be “brought”. I think you mean “bought” !!!
WOW - I have NEVER seen the top that clear. Every time I have been to the top, it was snowing and whited out, with snow falls
how do you zero the ohms setting?????
It depends on your meter brand/model.
Can l ask what time of year you filmed this please.
It was Jan 23
what I would also say is 22/23 was one of the worst snow for many years, jan and feb are normally fine, and much better than this looks.
My parents has this, rang me saying not working. Found out talktalk offered them fullfibre with eero router. Talktalk youview doesnt work with it. They failed to tell elderly parents this ... Ended contract talktalk
Hi. I've tried to replace the harddrive of my Huawei DN370t with another identical drive but it won't download the software. Have you replaced any hard drives?
Yes. You need to make sure the drive is just one partition, raw format. Then once fitted in the device access the maintenance menu to fully reset
What I would also say is the 370 is prone to failing, it's not a great box. Also take note of the Amps on the replacement drive. Shouldn't be more than the one you are replacing
Thanks. I don't know how to check the formatting. Do I need a caddy and a pc? Is it easy to do?
The box is at least 7 years old and has been used almost daily so doesn't owe me anything but would be nice to fix it.
@@mikeeadie4729 yes that's the best way, or just use a brand new disc as they come raw formatted.
Can you use an sdd?
Hello I'm currently testing and working to see if SSD will operate on these boxes
@@repairsnstuffAny update on this?
@@funnyfiveminutesI’ve read someone on hot uk deals say he’s swapped out for an SSD
Brilliant-couldn’t figure this out until I saw your video. I was able to use my thumbnail to prise the back off at the gap at the charging prongs 🙏
How do you know that your hard drive has failed? My box just continually tries to reboot now, but never reaches the home page. Makes a beeping noise too
You can take the hard drive out and test it in a PC, or just change it, 80% of the time it's the drive. If it buy one same make and model as you take out you should golden
I replaced all 4 caps supplied in the kit. Still there is no power. What else could be wrong. I ger power upto socket and fuse is OK.
It's probably not worth messing with, just try and find a replacement board.
@repairsnstuff Thank you for the quick reply.
Please show me how to undelete a recording from BT please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔💔 Please please please

Is there a way to disable the awful Netflix, iPlayer, itv Hub and On Demand buttons? I'm close to dismantling the remote just to cut out the buttons from the rubber pad and cover the holes with tape. I've lost count the number of times my fat fingers have pressed Netflix instead of 1. Ive disabled the internet connection on the Freesat box so I can exit the app faster but these On Demand buttons are in a prime location of a poorly designed remote. Cheers.
Not as far as I am aware. If you wanted to open the remote and place a piece of paper between the circuit board and button that should stop them working. Or get an older Humax remote (will work newer boxes) as these don't have the smart buttons.
Hi. There are two versions of thr binatone 550 radios. The version with the time is an older modelm They do run on the same license free frequencies of PMR446. The first set is on channel 7 and the second is on channel 1. In order for all radios to communicate you have to press the menu key and the up and down arrows until they have the same channel (main digit) and subchannel (the smaller number) matched. All sets will then communicate. I do hope this helps.
Cracking video thank you, please can i ask can you add a 1TB drive if it was fitted with a 500GB originally? Thanks
Yes I. Theory you can, but it needs to be a low power model. Around 0.55 amps or lower.
@@repairsnstuff Thanks very much for the quick response, will check that out, thank you!
Thank you! 👍👍
An update to this video: it seems better if you can use a lower power hard drive (5 volts at 0.55amps or lower seems to be the best WD & Seagate drive are OK but check the spec)
UPDATE: I WOULD SUGGEST USING A SEAGATE HARD DRIVE OR WESTERN DIGITAL AS THEY HAVE A LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION, AROUND 0.55AMP @5volts324 THEY SEEM TO HAVE LESS COMPACTIBITY ISSUES USING THE LOWER AMP
Would have been much more helpful if it had shown the prising apart of the charger aperture. Could also have commented on the ease of using a knife blade in place of the plastic too which 99% of people would try. .
Thanks for that. Is there a specifc number for the correct batteries?
Any rechargeable triple aaa batteries. I think they come with 770 amp hours but you can go bigger on the mA.
First view, first like and first comment.
Cheers. You just saved me £70 for some new phones. 👍
No problem 👍
Thanks for straightforward explanation.
Very clear. Thank you. Now I'm off to try it.......
With the help of a cheese slicer, it worked a treat. Thank you again.
love it
@@repairsnstuff I have since discovered there is actually something called, I think, a spudger to open cases with. It looks just like a cheese slicer!
a most helpful video
Thank you so much x
Thank you very much, I was just about to invest in a new phone.
