They need to be a thing again. That idiot David Zazlav at Warner Brothers is taking away the purchasing rights of their movies. Sony is being forced to remove the WB library from the PS Store. People who bought digital WB movies are out of luck. Their movies are going away and they aren't getting a refund.
One of the reasons to have physical media is that sometimes that's the only way to watch some things, especially older titles. Some of them are owned by rights holders that just don't seem to want to mess with streaming or digital sales. Or there is some licensing issue (usually music) that prevents a digital/streaming release. So you have to track down an old physical copy to watch it.
What I like about VCRs, DVD players etc.: They are really easy to open. (I still buy physical stuff. Streaming services are too unreliable with their stupid licence agreements that seem to expire exactly two days before you come around to watch stuff.)
yep, physical media ftw. i still buy blu rays and music cds as well as some old stuff used on dvd sometimes. and of course i still have all the old dvds, why would i throw them away?
I am in that middle road. I source a DVD or whatever then make a backup file of it and store it to a HDD. A friend also use to have a public server where he also hosted his backups, you could stream it from him. Granted if you are close by to his location otherwise the buffering would be crazy. We stopped watching movies so no clue if he still have this, I didn't logged into his server for 2 years or so ... With my method I watch my own cuts and versions that I know and want to watch. Hate those edits and whatnots where they cut or change too many things and there are no other version available to stream just one botched version or even a movie being unavailable etc. So I like physical but also like to have digital backups of the same things ... Even tho I don't watch them anymore I still like the feeling of knowing that I have the options available when I will decide to watch something. Same thing with games, soon as I lost control of things I buy, I stopped buying games. Plug n play or GTFO
Having data on physical disks and tapes that you keep in your house is just too painfully silly to countenance. I'd much rather just never consume media.
@@eadweard. until your hard drive dies. Especially ssd's are susceptible for letting the magic smoke out pretty fast with a bunch of data loss as a result. For my retro pc's and consoles I rip an image off of the original disc, store it on my nas that backs up onto a second hdd and i burn a physical copy to play. Must say that storing them isn't a big issue if you have a decent system to do so.
@@StezStixFix First time I've been the first name used in the rap for HHGs and with the atrocious week I've been through it honestly brought a smile to my face.
Not really, people will just rip the films and put up torrents for those of us that want a copy we can watch without worrying about licenses expiring. If there's a will, there's a way.
I have the same/similar Panasonic DVD TV tuner in storage. The please wait thing is probably to do with the VERALink system where all the components speak to one another. Thank you for the vid because when I come to use it in the future, I might just get the capacitors changed. And yes, I have about 300 DVD 's, lol
I attempted to repair my Panasonic DMR-EX768 DVR some time ago, it needed around 12 capacitors replacing which died due to heat damage. Unfortunately I got to it too late, the unstable power rails fried the audio decoder chip. This would have cost over 2000 GPB to replace due to the chip being custom-made by Panasonic so I had to write it off. It is good to see that you had success with your unit here, it is nice to see some of the old classic units being brought back to life here on your channel. Great video 👍
Your rap flow is getting A lot better. Actually watched the whole thing this time and even bobbed my head to the beat without stopping. Keep up the good work👍🏻and also great video
I am glad that you were able to fix this Steve because them DVD DVRs are rare now a days and fetch a pretty penny now a days. I own 2 Magnavox ones. And these things are perfect for converting VHS tapes to DVD if you still have a VCR that is still functional.
I suppose it depends what you call a pretty penny. There are plenty for sale for under £50 in the UK. I bought one to convert my old camcorder tapes of my kids when they were little to DVD and then I was able to convert the DVDs to MP4 files on the computer.
@@ianz9916 Well I seen a few of them DVD DVRs the ones with Hard drives in them a while back go like 100-200 bucks US. But now on Ebay they are going for pretty decent prices anywhere for around $40-50+.
Noticed a lot of comments with helpful suggestions, but all I say is well done on the banging tunes while replacing the capacitors. Reminded me of the great action movies from the 80's
I have one of those , exactly the same issue , managed to fix it with my very limited skill, my Dad had the same one , same issue , fixed that too , he bought a new one which I now have ….so I’ve got three of them 😂, love the channel , great fixes …
Pro-tip: use a marker to dot the top of each replaced capacitor. That way you have a handy reference, and you're saving whoever has to look at the board next some time. For bonus points add a note inside the case/on the PC with the marker colour and date of replacement :)
A few years ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever. I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them. Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, gentle, respectful, compassionate, patient, kind and forgiving, To All.
Steve, great video, your technique is one in a million, as for the music, it’s awesome to hear, I watch you from start to finish all the time, don’t ever change please.. 🤙🏼🇦🇺 Your friend from Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Steve's put out a new video. Nice. Lets watch it to see what he's up to. That DVD player is about 15 years old as I've got it too. Was really expensive when we first bought it. This wrap was pretty good, Steve.
Glad to see you take care with AC power.. I am 34 years old, and have a Pace maker for life.. All because i was repairing a TV power supply, and got a belt off a large main filter cap.... Lets just say.. I pay a bit more attention now :D
Steve I like how you replace caps one at a time. I was trying to recap an LCD computer monitor and I've made the mistake of taking a bunch out and then I couldn't figure out which ones go where and I didn't take pictures. What I will do from now on is (A) one at a time, (B) take pictures, (C) write down the board position e.g. c2 and uF and voltage rating. And I am someone who still uses DVDs. Not a fan of digital content unless it's DRM free such as an .mp4 file of a TV show that can play on anything. For music I'm an mp3 guy. all my music is digital either on CDs or mp3s. yeah I'm old skool.
I have a Panasonic VHS/DVD around the same age, it also needed replacement caps on the PSU. Well worth repairing, as a good quality bit of kit & still sell for good money!
Unfortunally all the higher end VHS/DVD units from most Brands where made by Funai and suffer from bad caps and weak tape mechanism (it broke on my JVC DVD/VHS and on my JVC S-VHS Deck, fortunally I could fix it on the S-VHS.
I have personally fixed two or three of these type Panasonic machines what I love about them is that they work like all day long and they get hot but they still work the other thing is that it is like a motherboard it is not like a regular electronic board it is more like a motherboard with how the screws are set and what not but it also needs ground. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice recap work, Steve :) From my own experience,the bigger the capacity and/or the voltage, it is more likely to fail. Smaller capacitors only fail when getting really old.
For years as a hobbiest I use the Peak ESR70 ESR tester. If you have not seen it maybe look it up. I also have the same tester you were using but for caps I like the Peak better.
A fairly standard repair job for a change, I have sort of gotten used to the same old song and dance where your videos are basically every cop or lawyer show where you think it's the obvious suspect, but it was the snooty rich guy all along.
curious as to what you would recommend for someone to get into electronics repair? Im a service tech, but we dont do any board repair in house. We send it all out. It would be really fun and a time saver to be able to repair stuff. Should I take college classes? Master classes? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Don't you normally look at ESR when checking capacitors for faults? It's normal for them to have a capacitance higher or lower than what is marked on them, they are usually made with a 20% tolerance.
Yeah, I need to get more familiar with ESR readings to know when something's out. Thankfully it was fairly obvious by the blown nature of a few of these, so that helped me out! 👍
I found one of these at a thrift store for 3 bucks years ago and initially thought it was just a DVD player, but I took a closer look and found that they go for big money online!
You are very entertaining Steve, love the stuff you do, I have just spent the last two weeks watching all of your videos from 1st to last, great stuff.
Funny, fear years back I did almost the same repair on the similar Panasonic model (if not the same). There was a repair kit with all the caps which you could order on eBay. Seams like a common problem.
Note that the tolerance on electrolytic capacitors can be as high as 20% - meaning that a 330uF could be in the range 264uF and 396uF and still be in spec.
I have loads of DVD's. Lots of boxed sets. It's still a thing with collectors like me. Of the 15 posties working in my branch 4 of us have DVD collections.
I’ve repaired a couple of dvd recorders of various brands, all had the same capacitor faults. So yeah, pretty easy fixes. One of the Phillips branded ones greeted me with ‘HELL’ on powerup. 😂
Hi, It's not a good idea to stroke the board with a metal tool like you did. Doing so could apply an incorrect or high voltage across a semiconductor / chip and blow it. If you are concerned about charged capacitors, just discharge them with a 5 - 10watt wirewound resistor of around 1.5k - 3k ohm. Be prepared for it to get hot if you discharge a high voltage. Then check again with a meter or have the meter connected as you discharge the cap.
Not watched it... I'm wondering if the fault is down to.... *thinks* Capacitors? I'm probably wrong.. but - I wanted to play a stupid game with myself! :)
@@StezStixFix yes! I’m so pleased! As these things are / were usually left on permanently I thought it would probably be power / capacitor related! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
You can get non contact testers, not sure if they work on capacitors to see if they still have voltage but definitely worth considering, I'm sure someone will know on here though.
I have loads of DVDs and BluRays. I even have a region-free player so that I could play the Region 2 “An Idiot Abroad” boxed set here in the USA. We use these players almost daily.
I'm Mexican. Seeing that soccer game come up gave me psychic damage. Anyway, I had a DVD recorder version of this player. (Instead of using a hard drive, it used DVD-Rs and RWs.) It was neat for what it was. I would suggest telling your friend to swap out that hard drive though. That's a Hitachi Deskstar, those were prone to failure back in the day. Edit: I still own tons of DVDs, mostly for the special features. Sure I can download er I mean buy Blurays, but what's the fun in that...
To speed up your electrolytic capacitor troubleshooting, one can check the ESR of the capacitors in circuit. If the ESR is too high for the capacitor value, the cap is bad. This test will find over 99% of the bad capacitors without unnecessary desoldering.
Watching this almost a year later. Great video :) Who has dvds? I have about 1600 and still buying almost every week. Also about 50 blu rays and 250 4k discs. The DVD's i buy these days are more of classic movies and series. New movies i usually buy on 4k. I dont watch mouch streaming. Prefer the superior uncompressed audio and video on 4k discs. And the never getting deleted collection of classics on dvd ;)
I think this might be made by Funai or Thompson, my DVD/VHS kombo unit had exactly the same pcb Layout and connectors, but fortunally no leaky caps, only a bad VHS mechanism
This may have been asked before and I don't see it in the description but... any chance you could link me to the what appears to be a USB rechargeable screwdriver? Thanks!
That thing has a Hitachi Deskstar HDD, aka 'Deathstar". Notorious for failures. I would definitely change it out at some point. Use a HDD clone program to setup a different one like a WD or Seagate.
Absolute best about watching DVD`s is that you get no ads and shit like that. Keeps your brain healty, you should try it! Plus you dont have to depend on others poor taste, if you buy it, you actually have it. There is no cloud, it´s just some one else´s computer.
What I love about your videos is learning how to fix things while snazzy 90's porn music plays in the background. I'm always waiting for a Jenna Jameson cameo.

Doing so could apply an incorrect or high voltage across a semiconductor / chip and blow it.

That thing has a Hitachi Deskstar HDD, aka 'Deathstar". Notorious for failures. I would definitely change it out at some point. Use a HDD clone program to setup a different one like a WD or Seagate.
IBM Deathstar. It was about 20 years ago now. Hitachi are one of the best brands
What music he is using in the videos. They always sounds nice.... 😅😎
i still use my dvr recoder like yours and use blank dvds only problem is you cant up size the hdd inside as its proprietary
Absolute best about watching DVD`s is that you get no ads and shit like that. Keeps your brain healty, you should try it! Plus you dont have to depend on others poor taste, if you buy it, you actually have it. There is no cloud, it´s just some one else´s computer.
What I love about your videos is learning how to fix things while snazzy 90's porn music plays in the background. I'm always waiting for a Jenna Jameson cameo.
easy win with big component! ;) nice work...love your videos!
