I have to agree with you on the knowledge front. It may not be something you're interested in but learning a bit may be beneficial.
I do IT primarily and sometimes the most random things imaginable may be the best analogy to use to describe a situation when someone isnt getting it. I have hundreds of clients in real estate and dabbling into it's workings has sort of made sense.
I got into a brief stint with car upgrades/repairs and knowing it head to toe creates the same scenario.
I never had an interest in drones until a Jayztwocents video…now it's a hobby. I really thought my EXTREME fear of heights would be a road block so I never even looked at it until then at which point I thought maybe this can help. It did not but flying 393 feet upward on a display just works.
I shouldn't be off roading or recoving vehicles yet I grew up with it with the wrong gear and still love seeing it happen.
I'm never going to be an electrician but it's handy to know how/why. Theres so many scenarios where I was ignorant and could of just died or came close to. High voltage scares me as much as it should have last time I got decently electrocuted.
All cool stuff and it makes perfect sense to just learn of everything you can even if it will never apply. You might just find that one scenario where that knowledge will help you or someone else and that's what's really important.
👍🏻 good luck
4:55 it's so true
I'm a programmer (I design and write all kinds of programs, primarily CAD)
And I don't have enough focus currently to commit to learning something new (because I take stuff very seriously)
After accidentally watching one of your videos, I watched more and more, but couldn't put my finger on why I did
The format is very straightforward, and there's always some insight, and it's extremely easy to follow, among other things that I value very much.
What website did you just reference to figure out what component that was that blew?
Hi Alex, is it ok to use 0 ohm resistor as a fuse ? I believe fuses has different purposes and shall burn at certain amp level , what about resistors ?
As a new subscriber I have watched a dozen or so of this guy's videos. In the course of morning today a thought crossed my mind that the next video of his that I watch I will leave a comment that I like how he does not waste time in his videos. First up tonight was this video and he mentions in it that he does not waste time in his videos. That got me thinking that he saved me the time of leaving a compliment but I decided to leave this one anyway.
I'd love to know what databases you use to access information on components.
And your father?
What about next episode ?😁
Love the knowledge from your videos, the resistor that you place as a fuse how long would it last or its just to quickly get data and forget drive, would it be worth it to purchase the SMD fuses, starting my hand in circuit repair, any guidence is appreciated, in advance, thanks. Thanks for the knowledge🙂
u sound like Obama…
try other flavors
Watching from London in the UK and can’t wait for the next video to appear! You’re extremely knowledgable and I’ve learnt so much from you. Just wanted to ask you, where is your accent from?
Hdd regenerator. Doesn't format too well, bad sectors are remaining. Much better to buy a new one, instead. I had a fuse problem w a 40 Gb Toshiba drive, soldering solved my problem. Tricky fuses, I soldered a Nokia car charger's fuse, and the charger became too hot, then failed.
Keep the fume extractor on and fully maintenanced. You don't want to get stage 4 lung cancer.
Why not change the component with something lying around with similar specs? Love your videos mate!
Hi man, where do you look for smd codes?
Amazing video
Hi, die you have more information about the light? thx
Would love to see how you get to fix it. Will be waiting for the next video ☺️
Very informative and as always am impressed with your soldering skills. Love the scope and light. Def easier to see/read
We want next part of this video.
My mom is the same way 😆👵
This is one of my favorite channels. Much to learn.
What young Alex used to say to girls after a night out? – We're working with a tight area here… Let's add some flux. 😂
No offense intended! Keep up the good work. 🙏
Good job respect for you 😊😊👍👍💯💯💯
Another board will not work. Because the bios info must match with magnetic disc serial info..
I think i have seen those voltage regulators on ps4 boards, i could be wring but definitely looks familiar! Love the videos, always learn something watching you!
It's a bummer to not have any drive having that component.. but what can we do.
thank you
mother knows best. 😁
When clean boards look like they have dirt on it you know it's a good microscope.
If just customer needs data , you could jumper the mosfet
Who needs the wisdom of Yoda when we have… 5:55
I made a variable linear power supply that I use to inject power past the regulators. Not energy efficient but does get something to power up. All you need to know is what the feedback is set for to set the linear power supply voltage.
On the regulator you showed it's lowest voltage is 0.6V. Find the feedback pin for the regulator and put a voltmeter on it. Set the linear power supply to its lowest voltage and inject power. Increase the voltage until the feedback pin shows 0.6V.
Another method is to find out what chips the regulator is powering. Look up the data sheet for those chips and see what their voltage is and set the linear to the same voltage.
Thats why i watch because of your knowledge and life experience a young man still learning and i wantedinspiration
The Bob Ross of electronics, I really love your mindset about life, you are a great person
