    It’s amazing to me how you, Sorin, can look at a board that may even be unfamiliar to you and identify the components quickly. I suppose it will take me a while to develope such skill. It’s fascinating to watch a master!

    I fixed some of those. The drivers are not hard to get. If someone tries to fix it and sees a driver heating up: Check the resistors around the driver. I saw several of them go bad, causing the driver to get stuck in a bootloop. Drivers are fine and handle very high heat, check datasheet. Also be aware that there might be high voltage at one of the pins.

    It is the best recording of Adam Smith's theory of utility. I would just like to point out that it is worth a lot here due to the difference in currency. Please do not deprive us of creativity. Complete

      He has a separate channel with lessons specifically. I also personally recommend MIT's power electronics playlist, it's a university class that is available for free on UA-cam.

    Great content. Maybe you can protect yourself from losing money by checking the price on ebay for replacement before you start your repair.

    That's the reality these days. In many trades, It's often cheaper to buy new than to repair.

  • @radio-ged4626
    @radio-ged4626 9 місяців тому

    The component cost with shipping probably exceeds the cost of the £25 board from Ebay and that's before you charge for time to fix and return post. I would just say thanks for the board, here's where you can buy a replacement. Not worth getting depressed about it - on to the next job 😀

    Probably cheaper for him to tell you to keep it & just buy another rather than spend more money to send it back to him.
