The fake volt meter is truly astonishing. The length some of these Chinese manufacturers go through to scam people is almost admirable, if not baffling.
i have seen same volt meter in desktop multiport charger it even have 9v and 12v but the voltage is not accurate the chip dont have any adc its relying on the qc to know the voltage
The fake voltmeter is surprisingly accurate, and the lack of voltage switching is an intentional feature to prevent you from baking whatever is connected to the other ports 😂
@@makoveliprod I know but the voltage is almost always between 5.2 and 5.3 volts anyway. It’s a joke of course. It does kind of crudely visualize the voltage with its brightness value, though, but if you want more accuracy than ±2 volts, you need a voltmeter.
@@makoveliprod I would have agreed with you if they had not made it say 5.2V exactly and make it look like it's a 3 digit display with a current option.
The thing is a simplest form of preset value display. 3 decades ago we had similar clock rate indicators in PC cases. Those at least came with value setting jumpers.
@@KrotowX I think those were supposed to be installed in PCs with TURBO buttons: those were used to switch between the newer CPU’s max clock rate and a compatibility mode with the IBM XT (4.77 MHz). You were supposed to connect the display’s pin header to the TURBO button or a connector on the motherboard; of course it didn’t actually count the clock cycles. Originally, a row of LEDs (🟤4.77 🟤8.0 🟡16.0) was supposed to be connected to the MoBo but manufacturers found 7-segment displays more futuristic, though they kept them compatible with the one-of-n coding of the LED signals. Anyway, I think they just used a two-digit non-multiplexed display and a simple IC with an array of diodes from each input to the corresponding segments.
I once was in a public electronics school, and they gave us the colorful fake iPhone charger to power a diy project... When I reported how dangerous it was not only did the teachers just not understand how a flyback power supply works at all, which is pretty worrying given the fact that this very school delivers a certificate which then allows you to work as a professional electronics engineer, but also they told me to stop saying such things because it got the whole class scared. So I thought maybe I had made a mistake, and these chargers were actually safe, so I opened one up to see for myself. No isolation distance no fuse or filters terrible transformer isolation 1KV capacitor no chip in the primary side good job

Hahahah i love that "5.2 volt meter" more then i would have imagined 😂 what a effort to spend a few cents extra to hadrwire a display to ALWAYS display 5.2 volts, also that they used a chip between the data pins instead of cheap resistors is also a lot of effort they put into a scammy product and using the capacitor pins pointing towards each other creates a nice spark gap, and that isolation melting is just hilarious but also dangerous
I would like to see an oscilloscope waveforms of that chips pins. Or an autopsy of it. Doubt it's that chip at all in terms of communication with the device. It might be just a pair of resistors inside.
During early 90s, 386, 486 assembled PC cabinets had 7 segment display on front panel indicating operating frequency. One could configure its jumpers to display CPU clock frequency, anything from 00 to 99 MHz. Assemblers used to scam gullible customers by giving lower clicked CPU but with the display indicating higher frequency
I think I’ve seen everything now after that fake voltmeter. About the only thing left now would be for them to come out with a charger so bad, it would cause breakers to trip, wiring to overheat, and finally earn an Ultra Dodgy rating lol. An idea for Ultra Dodgy would be red text on a black background, and skulls on both sides as well as flames.
4:28 The S7302SL using the auxiliary winding for feedback, so it would be regulated even without an optocoupler. There are also designs where neither an aux winding or a opto, like the LT8301. The fake voltmeter is very wacko.
he was talking about fast charging capability. that small 6 pin "fast charging" chip has no any connection to the primary controller. though, usually the fast charging chip has nothing to do with bulk voltage output regulation. the fast charging chip itself that negotiate and regulate voltage output instead of telling the primary controller to increase/decrease voltage

The analogue paper display of your homemade bench power supply just made me wet myself laughing. As long as it is calibrated, safe and accurate and you are happy with it, all is fine. Just made me laugh is all. 😆
That LED display somehow attracted my attention, I would like to see the autopsy of that thing, because. Does they hardwired the seven segment LED display to show 5.2V or they just used one or two LED and blocked the light to dark segments using some material?
I wonder if both of those supplies were trying to use the synchronous rectifier in CCM mode given it doesn't do any better than a regular diode in terms of heat.
Maybe the transformers were designed for DCM at 1A and they enter CCM at 1.8A. Or they have such a random inductance (too high) so they are already entering CCM at high loads. The datasheet of the S7302SL synchronous rectifier actually shows an example schematic of its use with the same primary switching chip, so it's probably meant to be used together. Maybe they're just to dumb to understand DCM/CCM. Or maybe they don't realize that the synchronous mosfet on state resistance can more than double at a high temperature. Or the cheap transformer produces some ringing that confuses the synchronous rectifier.
03:53 I'm guessing they meant to use thermal pad, but none were thick enough so foam tape will do. Then you can immediately tell it was a fake display/meter because the proper meter would turn on only when load is connected.
but why?. i can see the TVS used to clamp VBUS but i see no reason to protect the data line at this point?. shorting D+ and D- should be fine since they dont even comply to Apple's 2.4A charging protocol
I use the black one for about 3 years now 😊 Edit: Mine has no display, but will charge iPhone fast, probably 2,4 A. SDC-001 is the part number. Also had a charger with (really) working voltmeter but a capcitor exploded one day. After replacing I found that it gets really hot, so I didn’t use it anymore If you want I can send you the chargers when I‘m back home
Several kV insulation tester, i would think, to verify the breakdown. But you could at least open them gently, if possible, to take a quick look at how they are wound and see any cross-over points in the wiring. I don't think the ohmmeter will help because there has to be a big load induced at the same time.
Don't you just love how eBay will sell non-compliant fire hazard death devices but when it comes to bolt-on car mods, they kowtow to EPA, regardless of if the car is for off-road and racing.

At 5:23 there pops up this text about safety capacitors which says "live or neutral to ground: Y1 or Y2" I have a VFD witch has 2 capacitors. One from live to ground and one from neutral to ground. When I use the VFD without a ground connection it works perfectly fine. When I use it with a ground connection the GFCI kicks in. The strange thing is, on the circuit board there is a jumper between ground and where the two capacitors meet. There is nothing mentioned in the manual about this jumper. The only thing that is connected to ground from this VFD is those two capacitors (with the jumper in place) the heatsink and the ground terminal. Everything on the heatsink is insulated. I don't understand what is going on. Is this a manufacturing fault? Should the capacitors be Y2 capacitors. It would be very helpful if someone could explain this.
What capacitance is the live to ground capacitor? It's probably a bit too high capacitance or the GFCI is a bit too sensitive. Here, GFCIs are typically 30mA for households. You also could try to momentarily disconnect the live to ground capacitor to see if it's really the capacitor, or something else, like something poorly isolated from the grounded heatsink, moisture, conductive dirt...
@@DiodeGoneWild Thank you for your response. The capacitors are 0.22 uF 275V MPX IEC60384-14. The GFCI here is also 30mA. I wonder why they put that jumper on the circuit board to disconnect the capacitors from ground. How much mA goes to ground with this capacitor value.
