Hi, I'm Graham. On this channel I will do repairs, restorations and modifications on electronics equipment or anything I feel like working on. There may also be occasional reviews or other related stuff that may be of interest.
Canon PowerShot S5 camera with severe battery leakage
Cameras that run on AA batteries are less common these days, and it's easy to understand why. This Canon PowerShot S5 had been left in a drawer for many years with batteries inserted and was looking in poor shape. Can I get it working again?

Pop-Up Pirate toy... not popping up
Просмотров 475Месяц назад
I bought this Pop-Up Pirate toy for my wife for nostalgia reasons as we had both owned one as kids, but she recently told me that it had never worked - the pirate was happy to sit in his barrel even with all the daggers inserted. Time for a repair... if I could get inside. Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe

How NOT to repair damaged flat pack furniture

I thought this would be a simple task. Almost too simple to make a video about. But what I ended up with was a masterclass in how to do everything wrong. Could this drawer front be salvaged? Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe

Rode Videomic with perished output cable
Просмотров 55Год назад
I've had this original Rode Videomic for a long time, but I was still surprised when the cable sleeving started to break and peel away. After finding a replacement cable on Amazon, I set about swapping them over to get this mic back to its former glory. As usual though, I don't make things easy for myself.

Digital caliper battery drain prevention
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
Digital calipers are a great tool, and very inexpensive to buy. Unfortunately, they all seem to have a common problem - excessive battery drain. I had some that I wasn't using because it was a pain to keep removing and reinserting the battery every time, so I decided to modify them with a physical switch to isolate the battery and mimic its removal. Not everything went to plan though. Outro mus...
Philips electric shaver... with 160v motor??
Просмотров 415Год назад
This 1990s Philips shaver stopped working properly a few years ago, and I decided it was finally time to repair it. I expected it to be simple, but it sent me round and round in circles and gave me an electric shock into the bargain. Outro music: Calvary by TrackTribe

Brother P touch 85 label maker with BAD keys
Helllllyeeeaah Thank you. Now I can fix my girlfriend's steamer and impress her
i have the same problem on my jvc a11 i even gave it to profesionals to service and same after the servicing i think its the flywheel moving form side to side but i have 0 clue how to change thrust on it
Had one of these Loved it! it was my last bridge camera before moving to a DSLR, Mine deterioated over time where eventually you'd but fresh batteries into it and it stopped turning on or would power on for a few mins. They took pretty decent images at the time.
A little bit of BRASSO can polish those contacts very well.
puncturing batteries? not of one of the safest practice to attempt, ever! 🥸
Fair comment. I considered it low risk but should have advised against it.
Great stuff thank you so much
by now you are married. I kept checking in and seeing you havent posted and wondered what happened. so congrats on the marriage and your new home. I hope you get settled in quickly. I think brits will have a harder time settling to the us vs us'ers settling into the uk. glad youre back. mic is fixed in camera video after. camera mic doesnt always sound great but happy for you!! add patreon. like I told you before.
I'm settling in well, thank you - just waiting for all my belongings to arrive. Much too soon for Patreon - maybe when I'm more established.
Massive vitual hugs! My sons new game wasnt working and youve fixed it 🎉
That's great to hear, thank you!
Welcome back, glad at least some of your tools arrived. Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you! Nothing has arrived, but I re-purchased a few things to get me going. The videos should be more regular now.
Hi, excelente video, buen wherr i can get the diode? Im from Colombia
I've had this exact same problem with my son's birthday present pop up pirate game. Thanks for creating and posting, it's fixed ours too!
Excellent! Happy popping!
What a waste of your time ...... what about mine
this is dedication
My homepod 2 play and skip music randomly, turn on itself in middle night and maximize colume automatically, this is horrable cause no Service center accept to rapire in Indonesia, no buying apple home pod for the next, bye bye apple
Excellent video. Very articulated which help to fic my steamer. Thank you
any solution without taking out the pieces?
This product makes a lot of noise and it is not working, no smoke coming out of the steamer no steam at all , any other troubleshooting?

Can you please tell me what type of mosert this is?
it is home poed 2 u idiot, not 1st gen
Vielen lieben Dank für das Video , sehr gut erklärt. Dazu habe ich frage! Was muss ich eingeben, damit ich genau selbe kaufen kann?
Se você falasse menos... Seria perfeito. Apenas mostre seu trabalho que foi muito bom.
Amazing to find this, this is exactly like my ancient one. Mine has just stopped passing the music to the speakers, so upset. The inside of the main unit did get a bit wire smelly. So sad. It's always been incredibly loud volume. Loudness works with all of it. My tape deck broke and I got rid of it.
Same issue encountered on my P-touch 1005. "M" and "3" keys stopped working. Thanks to your video, I have been able to fix it. Thanks a lot !
Nicely done, looks well underrated amp I’ve had same one for a while now and had no issues. 👍🏻
Thanks for posting this. Got my device going after this in-depth tutorial. Appreciate it :-)
I have 2 of these amplifiers, 1 has a missing balance knob . Both have the same issue hardly any volume, I'm sure it's dirty contacts inside. I did hear them going when I first got them from eBay. I sent away for the belt kit for the tape deck and bought the power connector lead from ebay as it came without one. I bought the matching record player for it and a RCA switch box as there is only the tape connector input on the amplifier. I will eventually get it all sorted and I will put a video on RUclips of it up and running!
Where did you get that small switch? Thanks, great video!
I got them from Amazon UK: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NCYTRRO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Nice and It is cool
Thanks for making this video! I had this label maker with the exact same problem and this fixed it!
I’ve got 2 makita radios , both doing got dead switch’s , can’t turn the volume up or down or tune in stations . Replaced the switch it does exactly the same . Any ideas what that issue is
You are an amazing craftsman. I learned a lot from you. Thank you.
Well-Done, Sir. An Excellent Self Innovative Way You've Succeeded the Task On Your Own Line, Is Quite Appreciated.👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🍒🍒🍒🕊️🕊️🕊️🎈🎈🎈🌈🌈🌈 Regards, Tummalapalli.V.R. Murthy.
The simple fix is to replace the fuse on the board and add a simple relay circuit and link this to the original on/off button which involves cutting the track to achieve this….. mines up and running perfectly and the additional circuit cost £4
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Great that you show things not going to plan - good to know I am not alone!
i also bought 2 and both are not working so i try ur methods
I had the same exact issue with the same exact model, Followed your steps and fixed it, Seems to be a chronic issue with this model. Thanks a ton.
Great video! Can You tell me what app is that?
The turntable speed app I used is called RPM Wow.
Thank you. I’m going to have a go you made a very easy to follow video
Nice video can you give the name of the diode and can you find it online?
I bought mine here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175405713720
This will be done first time in India.. I have ordered the repair tools and diode, can't wait to tear my homepod apart! cheers to not giving up Edit: Moment at 19:28 must have been very emotional for you
so the root cause to the burned MOSFET.
Thanks! Had simular problem on p-touch 65. Root cause was a leaking battery which damaged the printed wire board. Although not visable under a microscope, after measuring the connection seemed to be broken. Like you, I soldered an extra wire in parallel to the printed wiring board, which solved the problem.
I wasn't expecting the sticker 💀
Hi! I have the same problem and if I bridge the part next to the socket the radio works. What’s now the defect part? Is it 105 ohm SMD resistor like the two parts above? Or is it something different?
I have the same issue... just the same, yesterday I put a temporary fuse but as in you case it also didn`t turn off. And I hope the you manage to find issue. but.. :) Ok. if i find the root cause I will write here a comment.
hey man, if you need to bridge small gaps like the one with the fuse, just do an solderbridge its way easier
Im gonna try this on mine . Its already dead so i have nothing to loose but 2 hours
Thanks for video 😊 Very helpful info.
One of my HomePod-minis died recently. It's completely dead, doesn't respond even through USB. Is it diode most likely cause for a mini too?
Possibly, but I have no experience with repairing those I'm afraid.
