  • In this video, I probably demonstrate a method to troubleshoot and repair a 12 volt charging system's voltage rectifier regulator. Many cars, trucks and motorcycles have them and they are easy to fix if you can find rectifier shims and micro collider rings.

    As a professional electronics tech… I literally sat here dumbfounded for the first 60 seconds of the video. I had NO IDEA this was satire and honestly Got confused, and that weird dizzy feeling like I’m in a dream or something. i’m constantly hearing crazy off-the-wall shit and advice from inexperienced folks on the Internet… especially in regards to circuit troubleshooting. But your delivery was so bland and dead pan… I was just kind of blown away to the point of questioning my own electronics knowledge for a second 😂 like a really bad case of déjà vu or feeling like you just walked into the twilight zone!!!

    Surprised you did not check the smoke capsule inside the rectifier unit. If anything goes wrong the rectifier ruptures it to signal to the user it has failed. Some have a scent not unlike burning wood added to give a visual and sensory failure warning. After overhauling the rectifier it is important to replace the smoke capsule to reset the failure warning system. I keep a stock of spare smoke capsules in my shop as seem to need a lot of them when working on older bikes.

    • @LinusNil
      @LinusNil 7 років тому +3

      I think you got this wrong. As far as I know, the actual cause of electronics breaking is when the smoke leaks out. That's why I always make sure that my electronic devices are properly sealed. Unfortunately lots of electronic equipment have big holes in them. I suspect it is part of the "planned obsolescence" that most manufacturers deal with in order to sell more product. They intentionally let the smoke out. Shame on them!

    Quantum Entanglement can be both a blessing and a curse. In these cases, you can use QE to access the internals. No need to Dremmel the cases open. Also, the best electrical bonding cement can be undone with the application of Acetone (fingernail polish remover) so even if QE wasn't initiated by the manufacturer, you can still get many of these cases open. Beware that Acetone causes bronchitis so don't use it around.

I mulled this over whilst imbibing some mulling over liquid and came up with the solution. I went to my back yard and returned with a bucket of my finest earth. After liberally sprinkling this over the cx500 I went for a start. Guess what?,nothing!,clearly lost earths was not the fault!. I informed my now shame faced mate of his errors and the problems of jumping to conclusions.what else can I say?,the man is a fool!
