Thanks for this video, I was suspecting about that conector is sufficient to add a battery, and you confirmed me that. It seems to be easy, I'll try watching your video. Thanks!
I have that microscope and it came with the battery. I do not like the USB port connection on the side for charging. It is really close to the case and does not have enough room for most cables to fit. I am going to attach a battery holder to back and use two 18650 cells in parallel and run a wire inside to the board. That way I can remove the batteries when they need charging instead of having to use a USB cord. I will also be attaching the microscope to a microphone boom. The base is too small and gets in the way. A separate lamp from the side is also useful for better lighting as the LEDs on the scope give off too much glare.
@@TimsElectronicsLab That's great to know, thank you. I ordered one but it seems to be the same type that doesn't have a built-in battery like yours. I will follow your instructions, have a nice day
Good one - thank you. ...Have you removed the protective covering on the screen yet? It would drive me crazy having the green tab just sitting there under the bezel!
I’m curious about the voltage / power the on-board charger uses. I imagine it should be safe if you use a low power USB-adapter but it could still over-charge.
hello I watch your video and I wanted to ask you if it is possible to make a backup of the chip? my device is not usable on pc I have artifacts and sometimes it does not start it bootloop. thank you
I don't know if it's possible to save the chip so that I can reset my microscope because it makes artifacts on the PC, and sometimes to use it reboot I have to unplug and reconnect. thank you
It sounds like a capacitor is not soldered in properly or something, I don't think that the firmware is corrupted as that will probably cause some kind of checksum error at boot
I even managed to do the same as your video. However, I went back to your video and noticed that the lighting LED's are not lighting up, the same thing happened to me
@@TimsElectronicsLab nope, flux is not only for the oxidation generated by the heat but also because of the capillarity and heat propagation it induces while soldering.
Exactly what i wanted to do , thanks, much more fun DIY your own batt , rather buying thats already install, plus hou know thw battery your gonna put is better.
i bought it g1200 , and used it for a month , and i regret it , the image quality is very bad , it never gives good balance between light and dark areas , the light is refleced directly to the camera when working with cicuit boards or electronics repairs , cannot see the parts clearly and the colors is not clear too , cannot tell if there is some thing dicolored or burned , and after a month or so of usage , it died , it doesnt turn on , i opened it and tested the board , i found the circuit board to be shorting on the power area next to the charger port , and its poor design seems to have failed in short time because it generates lots of heat while it doesnt have and proper cooling , its one of the worst microscopes in the market and no matter what price you pay for it , doesnt worth it never buy this model , you will end up throwing it in trash

Thank you , it was good and clear!!
I wonder if the machine is still working well? Can it be charged using a normal micro usb port? (green light indicator when fully charged?) Thank you
Hi! Yes, it will be charged using the micro usb connection. The software will even show the battery state now
@@TimsElectronicsLab That's great to know, thank you. I ordered one but it seems to be the same type that doesn't have a built-in battery like yours. I will follow your instructions, have a nice day
Can you please tell me the battery specifications which is used in it....
I've used an 18650, but that's a different battery than the one that comes with the microscope
When it's not turned on but it's plugged in and charging does the led light turn on?
Yes it does, it turns red when charging
Good one - thank you. ...Have you removed the protective covering on the screen yet? It would drive me crazy having the green tab just sitting there under the bezel!
No I haven't 😂 I actually plan to keep it on as a sort of splash protection when soldering goes bad 😂😂
@@TimsElectronicsLab what is the model for the solder gun
Batery 12v 5a?
No I installed 18650's
I’m curious about the voltage / power the on-board charger uses. I imagine it should be safe if you use a low power USB-adapter but it could still over-charge.
Why do you think so? I didn't look into the charging chip, but I assume that it's an all in one solution for charging and managing the battery
I did this, but mine keeps turning off what can be, did I use a very thin wire or is the battery low?
I would upgrade to a thicker wire for sure! You might have a cold solder joint or something
Hi Tim , got few questions
1. How long do you get battery backup?
2. Is their any problem you have face after the modification?
Hi Hasan,
Thanks for your reply.
1. I'm not sure actually, I haven't used it alot and I haven't need to charge it yet
2. No!
Gebruik een stukje krimpkous om te isoleren, en koop een rolletje goede 60/40 tin. Verder goed bezig 👍
Thanks for your tips! I've upgraded my solder to a higher quality brand :-)

Ok I'll take a closer look tomorrow if I see a problem on the card. thank you and have a good evening
Cam you please tell me the specifications of the battery
Hi! It is a regular 18650 battery, just fetch one from a laptop or something and it'll fit
do not use an 18650 it will not have any charge protection!!!! you will need a flat one with built in safety board....
There is no charge protection circuitry on the PCB?
For the future, connect the LCD first, then the battery. ;)
Oh! Why is that?

I think it must be a bug in die firmware of some sort
@@TimsElectronicsLab I got it, I had to change the light adjustment
In the menu?
@@TimsElectronicsLab I put a Samsung S8 PLUS battery which is also Lition, I'm testing its autonomy now

Use flux when you do soldering works.
I have solder with a resin core, that should be enough, right?
@@TimsElectronicsLab nope, flux is not only for the oxidation generated by the heat but also because of the capillarity and heat propagation it induces while soldering.
Bravo bravo bravo

Hello, can You hello me? I need firmware foto mustool g1200 microscope . Only red led, boy turn on with button. Thank You foto your help
I think that it needs to be charged or that the button is not working
Аккумулятор Li-Pol (батарея) 9.5*47*60мм 2pin 3.7V/3000mAh
Это характеристики оригинального аккумулятора?
i bought it g1200 , and used it for a month , and i regret it , the image quality is very bad , it never gives good balance between light and dark areas , the light is refleced directly to the camera when working with cicuit boards or electronics repairs , cannot see the parts clearly and the colors is not clear too , cannot tell if there is some thing dicolored or burned ,
and after a month or so of usage , it died , it doesnt turn on , i opened it and tested the board , i found the circuit board to be shorting on the power area next to the charger port , and its poor design seems to have failed in short time because it generates lots of heat while it doesnt have and proper cooling ,
its one of the worst microscopes in the market and no matter what price you pay for it , doesnt worth it
never buy this model , you will end up throwing it in trash
I found mine to be sharp and the colors where acceptable. Maybe there are fake g1200's on the market?
@Technigeek: You SPAM this comment on every G1200 Review, and get same answer that its OK and works well , lol
@@TimsElectronicsLab this might be the case ,
since those are all chinese products
@@firepower9966 i didnt get many replies saying it works well
@@mr2000jp I just bought one with battery for $43 I think it's the best bang for buck.
Terrible execution, and the mess ...
This device is a mess on itself
Very bad , not easy change battery replace.
Other products buy.
