Trying to fix a MIX of Faulty ITEMS
Вставка

- Bose Speaker, Retro Alarm Clock and a Modern Retro Handheld Gaming Console...A nice mix of things to look at in the one video. So put your feet up, get a drink and relax with me over the next hour while I attempt to repair these 3 items. Will any of them be fixable? Let's find out.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in these videos.
Many thanks, Vince.
Great to see you back Vince
Yessss finally Vince is back!!!
I asked a veteran nurse about that once. The siad they used to grab it from the top and wave it in a downward fashion, like they were cooling the thermometer. That usually forced it back together. You'd have to remove the tube from the mount to do that.
Medical thermometers had a kink in the tube to stop it running back until it had been read, hence the shaking to get it back down past the kink.
The red liquid in thermometers is usually an alcohol-based fluid and not that dangerous. The really old silver ones are what you should be careful of.
Yes, the silver ones were mercury filled, very poisonous.
Vintage designs and quality are so much cooler than what we get today. LOVE these clock designs!
You Sir deserve a medal, a good pair of safety glasses, and a stout pair of leather gloves.
Vince your videos are amazing so interesting I can't stop the video midway until you have found the fault on an item it's so attention captivating keep up the good work Vince looking forward to more videos I can learn and enjoy from!!!!
I always orient screws such as those making the slot vertical, that way no dust will build up on the tiny shelf created when the slot is horizontal. I never heard this as "dressing the screws."
If the A, D, V, Up, Down trick doesn't work for the flashing red light problem, Try O, P, T, Up, Down. From that menu you can clear errors, then do the ADV menu again. That worked for me once. Shame on Bose for having to jump through these stupid tricks instead of making the speaker software handle this. I wonder how many of these have been tossed needlessly.
You fixing that thermometer with the heater was one of the most intense things I've watched in a long time. Good video!
omg, that bit heating the thermometer was sooo tense
Really was indeed
I was half expecting it to explode in his hand 😮
He spent all that time worrying about the miniscule amount left at the top and what effect that would have on the accuracy, but didn't figure out that calibrating it happens when it's remounted correctly on the scale. Which he didn't do.😅
it is great when the community can come together and share helpful hints and tips Vince, and always something to fall back on even years later, I hope Daniel Jeffery is still watching for the free shout out.
I've watched England penalties that haven't been as tense as the thermometer fix. Absolutely engrossed and rooting for the fix 😂
If it's a mercury filled thermometer you cool it down with like liquid nitrogen and let it come back to room temperature in an upright position... it should pull it back down. For spirit filled ones the tapping method should work. This seems a spirit one 🙂
I love your videos and your methodical approach. But while watching, I wondered why you never tried to heat up the top part of the liquid so it would expand aswell. This really drove me crazy and almost had me shouting at the screen. 🤪
But you got a result in the end, and that is all that counts 👍
Thank you for all your videos.
I got the same speaker for really cheap and fixed it after your first video all those years ago. Thank you Vince! Greetings from Italy!
That ticking clock adds to the suspense near the end!
Vince I’m so happy you’ve returned. 😁
Would love to see more clock repairs I work on clocks myself and you've always made good clock repair videos.
I have missed your vids Vince
That is a nice clock. I'm kind of disappointed you didn't need to fix the actual mechanism, it would have been interesting to see that. But it's good to see this is still working well after so many years. Most of our modern junk won't last, and will need people like yourself to repair them if they don't end up in landfill.
Oh the thermometer tension! You should work in a school science dept and you'd get to boil lots of higher temp thermometers in oil - a pop means they've just blown the top off 🙂
The alcohol is heavier than the air or vacuum, so I think tapping it vertically bulb down will increase the weight and overcome the capillary action.
Yay! Glad to see you back =D Wow, that thermometer was hard to sort!
That glass sound effect got me lmao
Bro long time no see very blessed to hear your voice ❤
That clock is handsome.
🎵 If you go to pigeon street here are some people you will meet🎵
Damnit, Vince, you got me with that sound effect. 😂
Another great video,I have watched all your videos and what most of them have In common is your very distracted from the job you set out to do 😆 🤣
He is back ❤❤❤❤ thank you lovely video😊
Nice video as always. Wish me luck, this weekend I will try to disassembly my Mac for overheating problems (never taken apart a MacBook😬)
That could be a new series: Fix a Mix by VINCE :D
got to admit, 3:45 was the first time you got me with one of those effects... well played mr. MMV, well played.
Don't mess with the governor!😉
Brilliant video Vince great fixes and it’s good to never give up trying 😊
The two top down racing games I remember from my old arcade playing days are Super Off Road and Neo Drift Out.
Also I've a soundlink mini 2 which I imagine probably needs a battery switch myself but in fairness I've been using it for years and it's still going.
Great fixes Vince Thanks. 🤓
Thermometer, when in the hot water gently tap the bottom so the inertial will help break the surface tension and move down the walls. keep tapping so the air is trapped above the fluid.
Vince is back?!?! Insta-like and watch after!
Thanks Vince! That was a nice video with some great fixes!!
Fantastic video
I like the video and loved the music tracks as well.
The Bose, your previous DIY battery had different cells for a series configuration. The battery management of this device probably only has the required minimum protection: over-voltage and under-voltage protection per cell. Charging of all cells stops when the first cell reaches 4.2V. And the device stops working when a cell reaches 3.0V, while the other might still have 3.8V. So the effective capacity will be less. I think the safety just cut out because the voltages of those two cells drifted too far apart, triggering the device to brick itself.
The replacement battery was no good. After undoing the bricked state with the forced firmware install, the charging started with trickle charge, typical for batteries with cells below the minimum healthy voltage. New Li-ion batteries should come with a SoC of 30 to 60% and should take the maximum charge current right away.
Good job done...
That game is a conversion of the arcade super sprint. Pole position was viewed from behind the car rather than an aerial view.
Kinda miss the loud clicking of wind up clocks used one for years. I had a portable folding one for deployments as long as you keep it would very reliable it will out last the other devices it not dropped.
You should try that peroxide and UV light trick to whiten that yellowed plastic
Nice and interesting fixes. Thought the thermometer fluid would join easily, as to my understanding, fluid does not compress, but air does, but didn't seem to be so easy after all.
Have had some very weird keyboard issues in my laptop, first some ghost key presses appreared (arrow down). Managed to make that go away by cleaning dust away under the keys, but there's still some gremlins, as if there's some kind of short inside the keyboard, or parasitic current draw, even no ghost key presses happen anymore.
For example computer does not go to sleep mode, it immediatly starts back up again. It does hibernate and shut off, but intermittently restarting is tricky, no start from the power button, having to press randomly arrow up and down keys and then it starts from the power button. Even then, it doesn't continue starting from the manufacturer logo screen, until I press arrow up key. When the computer is powered off, something is still drawing some power from battery, unless I press again the arrow keys, so the power light turns off.
Otherwise the laptop seems to work normally.
This laptop is not compatible with Windows 11, and Windows 10 support ends next year, so it's pretty much on it's last legs anyway, so I don't think it's worth fixing this one, otherwise I'd replace the integrated keyboard.
Still, I have much older computers, for example Commodore Amiga 500, and it's keyboard is still working just fine, and HP Brio PC from 2001, also with working keyboard.
Pigeon Street was great I loved it
Pigeon Street Rocked!
Lovely ticking, warming and clamming, everything is right in world.😋
No more yellow mats Vince, seriously hurts my eyes😢
Now this reminds of why nurses or doctors used to shake thermometers.
Edit: posted before you said the same.
Yeah good to see you back some good fixes there. I do miss the Rolls Royce however, do you have any plans for something similar in the future?
A very interesting video vince when are you going to revised the video of the two sony cybershot were you fixed one not the other one
Where you been? Great back
|After a couple of days you would tune out the ticking of the clock (maybe not in a bedroom), I have three grandfather clocks in my living room not to mention several mantle and wall clocks (yes I like clocks and repairing them) but only hear the ticking when I first go in to the room (also have one on the landing) visitors always comment on how loud they are but I don't hear them.
surprising what a flick of the tip can do😅
Yay another vince fixes video 😊
Thermometers can be healed by shaking toward the bulb
Speaking of thermometers, do you know what the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer is? The taste!
The term you are looking for the battery not showing a voltage is “Sleep Mode”. A lot of batteries are required to be in this mode to be shipped safely. When I was working on iPhone repair the iPhone 10 and up batteries had this so at first I thought they were all bad.
Also, the Chinese clock is that yellow plastic is that yellowed by default or does it maybe need retro bright?
The bose speakers you have are a strange speaker. If you don't use it for a while, it automatically goes to sleep and you have to connect a charger to wake it up.
to fully reset it, you have to download a windows software to install and then go to a special internet page.
I have missed you 🥰 Don't think you have done the last one on vieeo 🙂
I definitely would have left out the beige part of the clock that looked far better without it.

I always thought they had two bubbles .. one to push it up , the other to push it back down
i was thinking that heating the thermometer at the opposite end might help to loosen the trapped fluid and then do it again the normal way
Invert it, the top has dried/ crystalised it needs direct heat
I was getting Vince-drawals!
Nice
WHERE YA BEEN?!?
Hey Vince, good job on the repairs. Just re 34:48 where you used hot glue to hold the battery cells in place, to remove hot glue with ease, drop a few drops of IPA and it unsticks very easily, try it next time you encounter hot glue again.
No offence, but did you miss the part of the video where he opens a bottle of IPA and brushes some on the hot glue ?
Or is your method to use India Pale Ale to free up the hot glue? Maybe the ale works better than IsoPropyl Alcohol?
You’ve gotta be more brave, otherwise we will start calling you, My Mate Wince 😅
Put in ice..
It's alcohol in the thermometer
You Cool it down and contract it into the bubble
And its nitrogen in the tube
You won't be able to break the surface with the gas in-between
I was worried that putting the clock face down without the glass would damage the clock hands. I don't think you have ever repaired an Alarm Clock like that.
Vince please don't use high heat on mercury thermometers they can pop with high amount of heat and shoot mercury in a stream or bulb explode.
It's not mercury.
Hello vince i have a 3000w pure signwave inverter thats practically brand new it cost me quite a bit of money and stopped working within a week or so receiving it sadly its from china 🙄 have opened it to check fuses and for lose wires but everything seems ok do you take jobs thanks
I asked and he provided my vince fix has been achieved
How come there is a delay between you uploading vince
He has a family.
Cursed Mr Blobby... And I'm not even from the UK FFS😂
Oh you won't wind the chinese clock because it's loud? let me go back to the 100s of videos of you turning on a vacuum right in our faces without any form of noise dampening or you drilling or having your wife do the fine china refurbishment in the other room, i love the soothing nature of it all. you're so demure.
😂😂😂
I see the screw thing all the time. Drives me nuts. I wish I didn't see it.
Hey Mr V, just bought meself a GPO 12c Multimeter which I am sure you know what those are, just wondering where to get battery No 35 and Cell No 6 from both GPO and BT battery classifications for a 15v and 1.5v set of batteries. I expect you had the all singing and dancing banana yellow BT ones but did hear a lot of the engineers were reluctant to let go their old GPO units as they had a reputation of being one of the best AVO meters out there :)
That Bose speaker is everything that's wrong with modern electronics & companies. Hidden menus, sneaky ways to make you think your stuff's broken, built to fail from day 1. Hate it all.
That's generally why I don't own nice things.
The cheaper brands usually don't bother with the "you bought it but we own it still" tricks and BS.
Also, I don't like to pay extra to support a manufacturer (I'm looking at you, Apple) whose business is to make unrepairable e-waste on purpose.
Lucky UK got the cellphone law where they have to make slide-in battery replacement available on all phones.
I don't see the US ever doing that any time soon.
I can't even find a legitimate battery for my 3 year old Google Pixel battery. Only rebranded fake old, used batteries sold as new.
But hey, everyone loves e-waste, that's why we ship it to China, like the remains of the world trade center. That's not evidence of a crime scene, that's valuable scrap to sell to China. That makes sense, right?
Damn Republicans.
Sweet
old tempter meter was made with quicksilvers, and it dangers as fuck
Wonder if it works if you heat it up from the top…?
Hello, what camera do You use?
20 degrees will work
That isnt mercury --- its ethanol or isopropanol and the red dye just makes it easier to red.
It look like you neede the same temp.😮
You're shaking it the wrong way!!
You're supposed to hold the top and shake it so the fluid goes down towards the bulb.
The batteries were faulty! Why do you think the charge were so different between the cells? They should be close to each other in voltage. Some BMS will not allow you to charge or power on if they are too far out of sync.
That isn't the batteries, that's the balancing circuitry on the accompanying electronics.
@eidodk not true... when batteries age they lose capacity and will become unbalanced in a pack
@@StrawDragon And that is why the BMS is in the system - a BMS isn't tasked to keep the batteries balanced, it's there to make sure that none of the batteries operate in dangerous conditions. A battery that has a stable 3.7v charge(50% charged), next to one with a 4.0v charge(80% charged) isn't faulty, it has just drifted off balance.. If the battery was below minimum value then it's absolutely possible, but as long as it stays above nominal voltage, it's absolutely healthy. Over time, individual cells within a lithium battery can develop variations in charge levels, which can affect performance and longevity. You would need an active balancer to keep the batteries equal in power for all time. A balancer corrects the imbalances by evening out the state of charge across all cells. That is not the job of a BMS though.
Why not heat the top of the the thermometer ?
You nearly got an unsub for your pigeon street disrespect.
I feel like I am killing brain cells listening.. Mercury is red eh?....
General Knowledge : Atari made Sprint from the arcade, converted to consoles ..... Was holding the thermometer the wrong way and shake side to side ..... Mercury is silver ..... You could have adjust the temperature by moving it, along the print.🤣
Thats an alcohol thermometer
