Just repaired an Anker pack which stopped working after a few days. Anker were good enough to send out another foc so the faulty one stayed in the draw for over a year. Decided to take it apart the other day and that was a struggle, it had two cells which had been glued into the bottom and lid of the case. Turned out to be an easy fix, the strap that joined the + and - of the cells had broken. A quick zap with the spot welder and it was back to a working pack. Took longer to get it apart than it did to fix it 😃
Nice 👍Yes I did an Anker one too a few videos back. Most of these power banks are a nightmare to get into, and as you say often it takes longer to get into it, than repairing it!
While repairing any electronic pcb, please show some tracing and reverse engineering stuff with multimeter continuity mode. I heard that we can trace whole circuit or a particular section to understand it's design and working that's help us to understand the issue once we got the design. But i don't know much about tracing hence i request to please while repairing things please do some tracing work 🙏🏻 I'm new to your channel and I fall in love with channel, I hope that I'll get much knowledge from you and channel ❤ lots of love from Mumbai India ❤
Thanks 👍I did reverse engineer a part of the Dyson fan that I repaired which had 3 faults. Not sure if you saw that one.
I can't tell of you're a electrical engineer trying to be a youtuber or youtuber trying to be an electrical engineer because you are exceptionally good at both.
I think you had doubts about this one, but you nailed it.
Thanks I'm pretty much neither 😂😂I'm just a regular guy who likes trying to fix things 🙂
Hello, I look forward to every video from you. I discovered your channel back when you were repairing a Milwaukee tool. Since then I have become a big fan because you do your job really well. Please keep it up. Greetings from Germany😀
Thanks so much 👍
Incredible fix! Without the thermal camera, I don't believe you would have succeeded.
Your Country is beautiful. Coyotes wipe out Lambs in my area (Southwest Mississippi, U.S.A) along with coccidiosis. Great Pyrenees are a must have or a mean donkey.
Thanks 👍yes we don't have coyotes here, although coccidiosis is around.
Great job..like watching electronic jobs like this..
Thanks 👍
Agreed. He's the best outta all of them!
Another saved from landfill. I suspect the backstory on that one is enlightening (whilst listening to my phone in the bath I). If the case is ABS, you can use Evostik PVC pipe weld, but practice first and the case will not come apart afterwards.
👍Thanks Ralph
Nice work. That mosfet had me with the footprint. Never seen anything like that. Another lesson learned, Thank you.
Thanks Fred 👍
Those things are the hardest to get apart and back together without breaking the case .. they do not want them to be repaired it seems .. I can never get them back they way they were. Most of the time its a one way take apart for parts kind of deal .. but wow you did a awesome job .. amazing !!!
Thanks 👍yes the cases aren't very serviceable 🙁
Another amazing repair, bravo. Your detailed trouble shooting is nothing less than exceptional, thanks for the work. How did the inside get so much corrosion when it was sealed so tightly?, that part is weird. Maybe from the USB sockets..IDK. Always a pleasure following your content. See ya soon.
I would say moisture..is a cause to a lot of electronics....humidity too
@@rbedwar12 Right.. Just wondering how the moisture ingress happened, the only openings were the USB ports. Thanks!
Thanks 👍someone said dropped in the loo?
1. Excellent video as usual
2. I have the same phone
3. Are you self taught?
Thanks!
Thanks 👍 Yes pretty much. I've just messed about and fixed stuff for years, although I did so a bit of a course on basic electronics and computers when leaving school, but I got bored and left as I knew more than the guys that were doing the teaching 😂😂
My favorite part of these videos, he sounds seriously surprised when it works!!
I usually am! It's a great feeling (well I find it is) when you figure something out and it works!
@@BuyitFixit I thinker myself. But after watching you , I realise A: I over think
B: I need a proper soldering station.
One iron i have could be used for
cauterizing gunshot wounds.
Glad to have found your channel, I've tinkered with electronics off & on all my life, mostly off but now I have the time I'm getting back into it & can learn tons from someone as yourself so thanks for taking the time to video & post these, they are much needed for people as myself. I truly enjoy them as well as others I've read.
Found the channel a while ago but obviously didn't know I needed to hit the ALL button under subscribe to be alerted, Duh-Huh moment I guess, LOL!!!!
Thank you. I've done a few pretty crazy repairs on things, and even had to reverse engineer software at times to fix a problem. Like on the Solar Inverter I repaired and then needed a service password to change a setting ("no password no problem") is the title of that one, and recently the AVerMedia device I repaired. The FLIR thermal camera video was quite an interesting one too.
Well that was a tricky one. Well done for perseverance and sorting it.
Thanks Chris 👍
Great job. Yes I think usb-c power delivery needs a device to negotiate the voltage with.
Thanks 👍Yes I agree 🙂
Excleelnt job, great diagnosis and investigation. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brian 👍
Well done Mr. Buy it fix it! Whoa ! I got to say a job very well done again, o boy! o boy! when it comes to this intriguing electronic repairs well got say you are a true magician. Cant wait for the next video and keep well mate.
Thanks again!👍
Thanks for an interesting video 👍 perfect length for a cup of tea and a snack
Thanks Peter 🙂👍
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
1 question
While working such a small PCB what? temperature and air you set on SMD machine.
I normally use 450c and turn the air speed down. I'm no expert though 🙂
And another job well done.
Cheers 👍
Good fix. Need to be mindful of those USB meters - I bought one of those recently, they have some odd quirks. You cannot power it from a standard usb port and output on a USB C - it doesn't work. Also the USB C ports have the wrong notation on them - the input and output legends are reversed. Not sure if your powerback was pushing an amp back into the charger or not, but mine refuses to work unless to plug input power to the output port and vice-versa. It's junk in other words - it also disagrees with another tester I've had for some years on VA/W, but I guess I need to set a proper test rig up to see which of them is more accurate...
Cheers Will and thanks for the info 👍
@@BuyitFixit Oddly, I just tried it again using USB A to power it and using its USB C to charge a 'phone. I had it downstream of another USB meter so that I could see what was going on. It did charge the 'phone, but showed no current being drawn, although the meter inline with it showed it was passing 300mA and the 'phone acknowledged that it was being charged (phone was almost fully charged). Woeful bit of kit unfortunately.
Strange, I've not really used it with the USB C connection much. Although I have used it with the A and a USB A-C lead and it seems so work fine. I wonder if yours could be a defective unit?
Great video as always Mick, but there's a disturbing lack of doom installations on things 😅 how's the lambs doing? But as always keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more 😊
Thanks Morten 👍yes lambs are doing well and getting bigger 🙂
@@BuyitFixit that's good to hear 😊🐑🐑
So I'm guessing that the chip removed to check for the shorts was put back on after the 2 capacitors were replaced?
Correct, I forgot to hit record on the microscope camera when I refitted it.
Sound job it’s a pity that you are not my next door neighbour 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍a few people have said the same thing 😂😂
Your work is amazing
Thank you so much 🙂
Another one for the books ........ Yeah a cap book would be handy for you , I need one to instead of robbing them off of boards ..... I bought a empty book and ordered assortment kits of resistors and it still isn't full ..... Bigger sizes mean more money ....... Take Care Mon Ami..
Thanks Mate 👍Yes I really should get myself a set of those!
Brilliant diagnosis and repair as usual, thanks Mick 😀
Cheers Mike 👍
Nicely done! I started repairing things myself a few years ago and managed to fix a lot of things already. I'd like to learn more details about electronics like mosfets, transistors etc. to be able to diagnose more complicated problems in the future. Do you know a website where I could learn more about this?
Thanks 👍sorry I'm not sure about any websites.
I gotta find your magic repair café 😊
They are dotted all over the world. www.repaircafe.org
Well done great video
Thanks 👍
I do like watching you work it's saw fascinating seeing things come back to life 👍
Thanks George 👍
It still always amazes me how much heat the IC chips can take ! even when i do it i always wonder about that !
Yes, they do seem to take a fair amount. I don't think I've cooked any as yet 🤔
@@BuyitFixit I don't think i have cooked any of them either,it just amazes me how much heat they can take and still work after !
@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis Yes me too 😂😂
I've noticed that as soon as you get at 90% battery on the phone, it ditches the QC supply of 9V, and switches to 5V. So it's probably not the power pack, but the phone itself who's limiting the current.
Interesting 👍
Good job I like watching all your electronics fixes
Glad you like them!👍
Wow Mick you certainly know your stuff, great fix there well done.
Really enjoyed it thanks.😊
Thanks Gary 👍
Always a good watch mick, learn a lot from watching these vids. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Crazy Carl 👍🙂
Another masterclass! Superb. Thanks!
Thanks 👍
Unscrupulous eBay listing if you ask me,it's always water damage 😂. well done 👍
Thanks 👍
Top Man great job. Many thanks from Nr Chester.
Thanks Chris 👍
Nice work Mick, cracking fix 😊👍
Thanks mate 👍
I have heard that vinegar works well to clean up corrosion on circuit boards I'm not sure if it does
It does if it's been caused by alkaline batteries leaking as the acid is the opposite to alkaline and neutralizes it 🙂👍
I have also heard that after the vinegar has neutralized the alkaline corrosion you should use IPA to clean it so that the vinegar doesn’t turn into a source of corrosion. Vinegar is an acid and it is used to neutralize the alkaline which is a base. Both acids and bases can be corrosive but also can be used to cancel each other out.
@@rangercv4263 Correct, I normally use IPA afterwards. I was teaching my 11yr old daughter a few days ago how to do the exact same thing as she had an old furby that the batteries had all corroded. After removing the corroded batteries I got her to use vinegar and a cotton bud to neutralise all of the alkaline and then we cleaned it all up with some IPA. It still didnt work as the corrosion had caused one of the wires to come off inside so I sorted that bit for her 🙂
Had a baseus 20ah powerbank with 65w pd.. I bought it for the 65w pd.. the pouch cell failed on those.. left it to charge and came back to see those cells uncomfortably warm.. disassembled on the spot.. those cell were even warmer when i touched them directly... i got the controller and the bms (3 cells were wired in series) whats wierd is power bank is labelled as 20000mah, but the cells used were 3x10000mah in series, resulting 10000mah Didn't notice the written power capacity tho
I'm not a great fan of pouch cells. I think 18650's are safer (although I could be totally wrong!). Yes it's not unlike companies to "mislabel" or exaggerate specifications on devices, especially devices that come from China.
@BuyitFixit yeah, I'm not a fan of pouch cells too.. I'm planning to rebuild the power bank using 18650 cells to get a proper 20ah 3s power bank using the controller, i might change the bms tho as i think the bms is a poorly built one that allows slight overcharge of the cell.. haven't started yet because a proper 18650 cell is expensive in my country
Great job mate. This is really mini-micro surgery.😊😊
Thanks mate 🙂
Great video as always. Reading some of the comments have i misunderstood that your fix it skills are all self taught?
Thanks 👍no, that's pretty accurate. I've not done any courses or anything and most of the stuff I've worked out myself or picked up from other people or experience 🙂
Excellent work 👍🏴
Thanks 👍
Nice.
Thanks!
Hey I recognise that power bank, it's the one my mate dropped in the loo!
🤔🤮
Great video
Thanks!
RESULT! And you use a Fluke 179. Can’t go wrong with that mate.
Yes 🙂Cheers mate 👍
👍👍
🙂👍
Excellent
Thanks 👍🙂
Bones, Can you save him? He’s dead Jim.
😂😂😂😂👍
Nice !...cheers.
Thanks AndyMouse 👍
What are you using for a microscope and what kind of flux are you using?
Flux is in the video description along with some of the other tools I use. The microscope is a trinocular with a 48mp camera.
I admit I did not think to look there. Now that I have, when I click on it, Amazon says it’s not a functioning page.
Strange, I'll have a look at that.
Today I checked the booster pack ("Baseus Car Jump Starter 12000mah 1000A Power Bank Portable Car Battery Booster 12V Auto External Battery Charger" ali search string) and the rain leaked on it, no lights and rusty connectors :( I need to clean and repair it.
Oh dear 😢
Are you a fan of BigClive re the watch your eyes for UV 😂
Yes 😂😂😂👍
watch your eyes for the UV - fortunately I was wearing a tin foil hat in case the video was reading my mind, so I was ok, but I did burn my fingers a bit on the images of the hot air rework station.
😂😂😂😂👍
👍LG.
🙂👍
So let me get this right........ you did fix some wires on your wire less charger, and also you need a wire to charge it?
I start to think that you have a loose wire somewhere else too. 🤭
😂😂😂😂
That power block fell in someone’s pool.
Or a toilet 🤮
No wonder he sold it for so cheap
Indeed 👍
Looks like a dog peed on it
🤮could well have, or it got dropped down the loo as someone else suggested.
I have a Bluetooth speaker I got as a present from my father and it charges so so so so slow at like 0.014 MA. How do I send in a item for you to make a video on? I took it apart and couldn't figure out what was the issue.
You can drop me an email at the channels name at out look dot com
No schematics just concept works along with luck. Good fix!
Yes, sometimes luck does play a part 👍
