A tricky one, was wondering if a thermal camera would have picked up the mosfet? Good to hear your on the mend and your wife. All the best for the New Year!
Never go to hospital Mick, it's where all the sick people are... Hope you are both feeling better soon. Belated merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and new year...🎅🏿🎅🏿🎅🏿☃☃☃🎄🎄🎄 Many thanks for all the outstanding and entertaining videos in 2024, I look forward to watching many, many more in 2025.
HI! *Thanks for Class.* Good to hear everyone's on the mend. *Great Life without Street lights,* vs Hazards of City populations: Prepare before entering, as may require alternate Fix.
Yep, goose was good and your video made an excellent second dessert (after apple pie with vanilla ice cream). Those naughty mosfets, just when you think it might be another capacitor. Thanks for taking us along. I have to admit I was not able to fully follow your logic through this one, but this isn't the first time that was the case. Excellent fix, in any case.
Happy New Year! Hoping full health is coming along and will be with you all soon. Another awesome fix and diagnostic video, a MOSFET this time and no capacitor...wow. I,m thinking you could fix this in your sleep now😊 Great job Mick as always. See you next time, enjoy!
Glad you both got over it ok, stanta came back in the evening and gave me and my old mum a covid-19 like experience for two. Only it did not light up the test strip we got on friday.
Wow just ready your community post, I hope you are both feeling much better soon, no worries about the video I had just put it down to you taking some deserved time out with the family over Christmas but sounds like you didn't even get to enjoy that. That light is so bright the ducks or chickens thought it was morning I could hear them all. 😄 Nice fix as usual and some helpful information esp the pinout of that chip for others attemping to fix one of these items.
Like everyone else, I am glad you and Mrs Fix it 😁 are on the mend - I was worried when Saturday came and went without a repair video. Anyway, looking forward to a 2025 filled with videos where all your subs wait with bated breath to find out if it was the capacitor wot dunnit!. I wonder if the MOSFET will replace the electrolytic as chief suspect?
Mick, thank God you are back. I was getting so bored watching JDT repair PS5's and Nintendo Switches. I hope all is well with the family, and your wife has healed from the encounter with the cat, to which I had a similar incident with a cat 40 years ago, scary. Great video as always, Have a Great New Year! Paul, USA!!!
HAI, thank you for the positive feedback, hope everything works out well for both of you. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! All the best from Germany.
GLAD YOU AND THE MISSES ARE AWL REET NOW ..GREAT VIDEO AS EVER ,,BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR MATE TO YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY ...EX PAT NORTH EAST UK NOW IN PHILIPPINES ..
The 3.3 Volts on one of the pin on microcontroller could be for CPU power rail, so if the battery voltage sense's broken in your case, check either amplifier chip or voltage divider resistor arrays - since battery management system software portion wants to see voltage at the ADC input that it SHOULD agree with that ADC reading on the battery pack itself via built-in smart battery management system inside the pack across SPI or I2C bus communication (very rarely, Dallas / Analog Devices 1-wire communication), so it can proceed that it's within safe limit. Lithium-ion cell tend to be temperament especially when you abuse it. All that's for context. Of course there's always extra layers of safety in recent decent quality power tools, especially of brushless DC drill flavors, where there's two computers involved in handshakes and voltage readouts that they both agree with, and cut right out on low battery charge so we're not damaging the packs despite torturing the battery packs hard. Also, of course don't discount the DC-DC converters either since occasionally they have weird failure modes - diode and transistor is usually easy to check with diode settings on your DMM. Of course you can also check the driver output with any oscilloscopes you have, even a cheapo Zoyi ZT703S oscilloscope (I have it, it's almost as good as expensive HP computerized oscilloscopes as far back as 90s and 00s). Capacitors are a bit tough to check so I would recommend to have LCR meter in this case (I may have to look at getting my own at some point anyhow). If the LED driver in question pumps out 300 Volts or in case of a rather large TV, 1,000 Volts, of course you would want x100 oscilloscope probe for that so you don't fry the ADC chip, or worse, ADC on microcontroller processor die, something I also plan on doing so for my Zoyi ZT703S oscilloscope so I don't blow it (I wish there's a custom third-party firmware so I can use whatever I need easily).
Hey Mick are you familiar with 80s car stereos. I've got 2 for my Sierra, one draws no amps. The other lights up but doesn't have anything on the display. I had a fiddle today, but I need to stay in my lane 😅
Way too much electronics for just a light. What happened to just having a simple on off switch, light bulb and battery? I like how you were able to bridge those two pins on that chip to light the LEDs. Could just add a switch there and bypass it.
Milwaukee Head Engineer: " Ok people, listen up. Our project this week it to take a simple flashlight and make it as complicated as possible, and let's put a lifetime warranty on the LED's but make sure everything else fails in 23 months. Got it?" Ok. Now let's sell it for 5 times what it should cost and don't include a battery or charger"
😂😂😂Some of the stuff is great. I really like the grinders etc. There's a lot of Milwaukee stuff on the channel because I was looking for it, as that's the stuff I had. If I had started with Dewalt for instance, there would probably be a load if Dewalt repairs on the channel 🙂
Glad you and yours are feeling a bit better ! Oh..a lovely farmers driveway, not a street lamp to be seen !
Eek is mr Squeak
Thank you, i hope you and your wife feel better soon. Happy new years
That was the most precise flux application I've ever seen!
A tricky one, was wondering if a thermal camera would have picked up the mosfet? Good to hear your on the mend and your wife. All the best for the New Year!
Good to see you're doing better. I hope the wife is doing better as well. Great repair as usual.
Never go to hospital Mick, it's where all the sick people are... Hope you are both feeling better soon.
Belated merry Christmas to you and yours. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and new year...🎅🏿🎅🏿🎅🏿☃☃☃🎄🎄🎄
Many thanks for all the outstanding and entertaining videos in 2024, I look forward to watching many, many more in 2025.
Mick is back yaay...🤩
I hope you and your wife are feeling well now.
I wish you and your family a happy new year, Mick.
Hi Mick glad you’re back and feeling a little better, nice fix and it lives again not a bad bit of kit that, thanks for the video 😊
I always enjoy your troubleshooting and repair videos. Keep em coming and get well soon. Jacksonville, Florida 🌞
Thanks for another GREAT video. Glad you're both feeling better.
Great fixes, you, the Mrs, the light
all the best to you and family......great channel
Thank you! You too!

Happy to see your feeling better Mick , hope your wife is on the mend as well . Happy New Year to you and yours !
Glad you are feeling well enough to record again. How your wife is well again too.
Brilliant fix as usual Mick, hope you and your wife are on the mend and best wishes for the new year 😀
A good fix there. Hope all goes well with you both health wise.
Hi Mick! Great to see you back. Going to enjoy this right after dinner (leftover Christmas goose).

Great fix. Hope you feel better soon. Merry Christmas
Hope you're both feeling better. Nice solve!
Thanks mate 👍
Ya should have asked me Mick I knew it was the MOSFET..😅 another cracking vid mate 👍
MOSFET fettling at it's finest.
Glad you both got over it ok, stanta came back in the evening and gave me and my old mum a covid-19 like experience for two. Only it did not light up the test strip we got on friday.
HI, Mick ,'THE MAN' wins again. Hope wife and yourself get to 100% soon. Happy New Year from Nr Chester.

Another Milwaukee LOL
Awesome.
Thanks for making my Saturday better!
Cheers mate 👍
Thanks for posting Mick. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too

Once you stop screwing around, you really did fix it 😄Good work Mick

Paul, USA!!!
Cheers Paul 👍
Experience leads the way on this one... nice work!
Thanks mate 👍
Nice 'wide' light from that unit. Good to light a larger area instead of just a spot. Nice fix! On to a beautiful 2025, Mick! All the best!
Thanks mate 👍All the best to you too. Hope you have a great 2025 too 🙂
Many prayers for you and your wife. Be well my friend.
Cheers Fred 👍
Great to catch another video from you 🙂 and yet another interesting fix 👍
Thanks Peter 👍
Fantastic video hope you good Christmas and wishing you a happy new year
HAI, thank you for the positive feedback, hope everything works out well for both of you. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! All the best from Germany.
Cheers, and have a happy new year.
Glad yours and your wife's health issues are improving and nice to have another fix.
Thanks mate 👍
Hope you and your wife are well again Mick. We have a saying here; don't go to the Hospital they'll give you something!
Heya, nice repair yes after a while more commonents could brake
Hope u both recovered well
Yes, thanks mate 👍
Happy to hear that you are both doing better. A Healthy New Year to you and your family.
Happy New Year mate
Cheers mate 👍Hope you have a good one too 🙂
GLAD YOU AND THE MISSES ARE AWL REET NOW ..GREAT VIDEO AS EVER ,,BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR MATE TO YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY ...EX PAT NORTH EAST UK NOW IN PHILIPPINES ..
I am also glad to see you back Mick. I will also be watching a little later when i know i will be undisturbed …. 1 or 2am at this rate🎄😂
Glad you’re recovering Mick and hope your wife is well on the way to recovery 👍👍👍
Thanks John 👍
Splendid
That light must come in handy checking the flock. I hope the wife is recovering. They are the glue that keeps everything functioning.
Thanks 👍yes we're all doing a lot better now 🙂

I wish your wife a fast recovery :)
has someone just dumped a sink at 27:42 to your left against the wall?
No, the wife got it ages ago to use as a planter ot something 😂
👍
It's never just the fuse 🤣😜

That light looks like it can melt cheese on a burger.
The problem with Milwaukee tools is planned obsolescence.
I guess Milwaukee tools are the best tools for you. Because you like fixing electronics, and they're prone to failure. Endless content.
Maybe you should offer a 3 year warranty. This way you wouldn't have had to fix it until late 2025. By yourself a little time. 😅
Main lesson learned from these vidoes??
Keep away from Milwaukee gear 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
