All tools are good because you know exactly how to use them Thank you Sorin You are very generous man lot of us learned from you a lot of useful things Thank you Sorin
It helps his business, but for a hobbyist i would say you dont need all of that. He said himself that before he fixed boards with only soldering station and hot air. I would recommend buying the tools if you really see that it will pay off.
Buy the equipment bit by bit depending on what suits your immediate interests, skill set or friends family or customers needs. Buy little bits when you have a few squid spare and I’ve even asked for tools for Christmas and birthdays if I’m asked what I’d like. Thing I’m struggling with is space the wife goes mental when I’ve got all my tools out in the kitchen so getting them out and packing them away is a constant battle. Hoping to move but like you all, money is tight 👍
Any thermal camera con do the job better than touching with hands i'm using a very very old flir one microusb paid 249 euros 7 years go... ( used now at 100 ) ... and I have no plans about changing/upgrading it
hello @Sorin can you please explain or give me a link if you already explained what's the difference between switching power supply and linear power supply, and how can i modify my power supply to remove short detect, thank you very much and keep up the good work
That's too much to ask of Sorin. Google for "linear power supply circuit" and "switch mode power supply cirvuit". You'll see the difference immediately.
Hi Sorin would you please make video on how to injecting power to the motherboard please I am very confused about that please thank you for all your work I learn a lot from you I really appreciate it appreciate it
Does the H8 have some lag or delay, especially LAG in the video. I would appreciate, next time you show thermal imagers to do a pan left and right at various speeds so we can judge the response time and sustained frame rates of the video. Hikvision makes fast thermal imagers. I just bought the Hikvision DS-2TP21B-6AVF/W (-20c - 120c) for $150 shipped, brand new unit. And it is 25fps sustained with very quick response. It is a 160x120 IR sensor but the image it produces on the 640x480 IPS 3.5" screen is comparable to 320x240, it is very clear and sharp. The unit feels well built and professional. The Hikvision thermal units behave and work like their IP cameras. Feed can be RTSP to vlc, their NVR surveillance apps, any IP camera phone viewr app can view video from their units, just like a normal IP camera. Many other parameters can be adjusted from their IVMS software which are not present on the handheld unit itself. Very cool.
Sorin, for your psu USB cable just buy a common and cheap USB-A female breakout board and connect it to the PSU. No more janky wires. Then use any common USB cable you need and simply plug it in.
Why is so hard to find linear Power supply? Also where did you buy yours please, I can't find it anywhere, saw your video about the PSU, but can't find it, could you please suggest different linear around the same price range. Thank you
You can find them but at that price range looks like is hard, i have same issue, i got a cheap switching one, but want by Lavolta, but unable to find it in UK.
I just got a UNI-T UTP3315TFL-II from Aliexpress. Has a transformer (linear), good price and also has 4-digit display so current reading is even more precise.
what do you think about someone buying bulk dead laptops or other items and then repairing them for sale? do you think this is profitable or is it too hard to sell them after the repair? Some very large businesses or colleges may have a dozen for sale as bulk dead laptops.
Ok can you tell us in comparison is that thermal cam any better then Infiray P2 PRO with a macro lens? (It should be better by specs and for this kind of jobs).
The tools now in public.. I see a uk and usa store for sorin supporting usefull stuff, but what about EU ? I realy like to expierence/support and use but not via the US.
hello sir im your subscriber from 2017 i lean lot of thing form you thank you for your service .please share your camera arrangement video for streaming
To answer the diode mode confusion> I believe it may have different voltage settings ? If thats the case, most handheld millimeters use around 2 or 2.2v in diode mode. Some bench millimeters use higher or lower voltage. That may explain weird voltage drop readings you get. So if you are able to change it, its a good thing.
Thanks Sorin! I had IT5125VG not programming with svod 4. I spent hours on it and finally it turned out I had to use the debug port instead of kbd port… I agree SVOD 4 not such a great support I had one spi input/output burned hopefully it was a small transistor. Happened 2 weeks after spending 1100$ cad
Use a toroidal isolation transformer for the soldering station and possibly the multimeter/oscilloscope. If you would want the hot-air station behind the isolation transformer you would have to buy a pretty big (about)1.5-2kW transformer.
So glad you did this video Sorin. I was going to ask you several times to show the equipment you use, but figured you had a video already that I had to find. Thank you!
The uni-t thermal camera IS cheaper and does an excellent job, I say more, its the only camera I have seen wich you can put another lens in front wich allows you to exactly pin point the bad component.
Hi sorin U mentioned usbc meter that can’t start the dell xps board without being 3.1 the reason is I had a xps board with damaged pd controllers, which I replaced all 3 and still the board didn’t boost to 20v and I tried everything and replaced the isl controller, is it possible that it was fixed but my meter didint support xps. Thank you
About the multímeter I have seen someones that instead of showing the OL they show a voltage ( 1.7) for example and I also find It complicated. But like others, at the end they show the voltage the diode consumes.
Yeah, this multimeter ... I have almost the same one, would not buy again. Same issue with the diode mode. Problem is: This multimeter tests diods in both directions, so you can put the leads in any way. It will then show you the direction of the diode. While that is good for quick testing actual diodes, it is a problem if you try to test mosfets and transistors where you explicitely want to measure with a given polarity (or even turn on mosfets). So I keep a second (5€) multimeter around for this task. I can't understand why UNI-T does not allow to disable this stupid multidirectional testing.
great video, you said some flash ship does not recognize until connect the unit power, lets say we trying to flash stb flash chip, is it softly to connect stb psu while connect programmer cable to spi flash ?
Flex cables are fragile that programmer should have ribbon cables instead, i thought you regretted the annoying bip of the multimeter but no lol, you must have enough working distance on your microscope to be able to use those straight nozzle tips btw a second power supply would be useful honestly what i like about switching power supplies that i've seen is the accurate reading of current on the 4 digits screen you can see 1mA current draw you can't have that on these cheap linear power supplies
What sizes of those sop8, dip8, wson8 programming pogopins you need mostly, there are a lot of different ones i see. Suspect you only need a few that are frequently used.
Wish someone would donate me hot air gun station wíth hot air sold, Microscope LCD camera and tools so i càn start businesa with any cuatomers need my help repair device like your job
Thanks for sharing. I believe in getting quality tools and as you said, they will pay for them self over time. Thank you for all your videos, I think you are an amazing teacher at heart and I love to see the joy on your face when you find the problem. I rarely give up when trouble shooting, So it's so nice to watch you and learn as I go from your channel. Thx, Moe
Cam scumpe eu fac de hobi / 🍕 dar ma pus pe gânduri din moment ce in sibiu nu gasesc un service de electronice cel putin sa repare o baterie dap un chip e inginerie nucleară aici.
One other tool that maybe useful is a copper bristle brush to use to brush across circuitry when you want to check continuity from one point to another and need to search for that point.
It's a shame the Lavolta power supply is no longer available. I keep looking all over for a similar one. There are plenty of 'linear power supplies' on offer but most of them are switching power supplies and the listings are false. Take one look at the unit weight and you know there is no transformer in them.
I need some explanation here: Are switching power supplies the one with a transformer inside or ones without transformer? I need to understand and distinguish them from linear ones . I think it is also important when it comes to other electronics
@@ninsiimachristine The switching ones don't have a big transformer so they are generally less heavy. I just got a UNI-T UTP3315TFL-II that a comment here recommended and so far I'm very happy with it. It's linear (transformer) and has a 4-digit display so the milliamp reading is more precise. It's only 5A but for most things that will be enough for my workbench. The price was pretty good too.
The most important "tool" is always the one between the chair and the table! Great Job Mr. Sorin! Congrats
You had me thinking for a second pal.
Thank You for your time...that u show us this all......!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
The Weller iron station behind has a jack to ground it , take a look.

It’s not about the knowledge but about the will. If you have the will, you will gain the knowledge as most of it is free on UA-cam or forums/discords.
My battle, there are tweezers and then there are tweezers.
Pot scourers to clean soder iron tip. Using copper one atm. Works good.
Copper will wear your soldering tips out faster. I suggest using brass instead.

right? and sometimes you have warm hands and its More difficult to notice temperature
infiRay P2 Pro Thermal Camera, less than 300€ and it's fantastic
Perfect video Sorin, thank you:
Thank you sorin, really helpful
I have seen other repair channels use an oscilloscope to make repairs, what is that used for?
can you try to do a video explaining the different of what can you do using linear power supply That You cant do with a switching power supply?

Hi can you describe more how to connect this board using the power supply?
Hello Sorin, can you do a video on how to disable short circuit protection in power supply unit or is there a video on that already?
Sorin, where to find these pogo pins? I find your video on them. I searched aliexpress, and to no awail. Maybe you could provide item number?
thats enought Sorin thank you
sorin what did tou think from the infiray P2 pro with macrolens.
I don’t find that power supply to buy it…😢 any other good options? Thanks a lot
i realy want the deskpad, what model is that?
I use the cable off dead Dell chargers with my Bench PSU and don't get the warning message.
Why is so hard to find linear Power supply? Also where did you buy yours please, I can't find it anywhere, saw your video about the PSU, but can't find it, could you please suggest different linear around the same price range. Thank you

but why is a linear power supply better suited for electronics repair. can anyone elaborate on that?

Even as a business the battery analyzer is not exactly worth it, useful yeah but the license alone makes it not worth it.
One other tool that maybe useful is a copper bristle brush to use to brush across circuitry when you want to check continuity from one point to another and need to search for that point.
@Swenser - Trying to picture how to apply this. You have one lead on point A, and the other on point B. Where does the brush go?
