it is great when the community can come together and share helpful hints and tips Vince, and always something to fall back on even years later, I hope Daniel Jeffery is still watching for the free shout out.
Have always enjoyed this channel since my freshman year of high school, I graduated in 2022. These videos have always been cozy and educational. Thank you Vince.
Hi Vince, i had a bose in for repairs a while back, did not even need to do a firmware upgrade, only did a hard reset on it. Factory reset clears connected devices and language settings from the speaker and returns it to the original factory settings. 1) Press and hold the Volume up button + and Volume down button - for 15 seconds until the Power light quickly blinks white for 3 seconds. The speaker powers off. 2) Press the Power button . The firmware upgrade also probably resets the device that is why it started working.
Nice to see ya back Vince. Had to laugh at the one part of the vid when it was quiet waiting on the laptop .. I thought damn that clock is so annoying then you said pretty much the same 😂. I couldn’t live with that !.
Thank you for making me realise i can watch the intro to pigeon street on you tube. After you mentioned it, i suddenly remembered the words and searched you tube for it. Happy childhood memories haha. Awesome patience with that thermometer as well! Love your content mate 👍
Vince your videos are amazing so interesting I can't stop the video midway until you have found the fault on an item it's so attention captivating keep up the good work Vince looking forward to more videos I can learn and enjoy from!!!!
Modern electronics are getting very sneaky. I had a Panasonic LCD TV for repair. The on/off light just kept flashing red/green. Thought it must be the usual power supply problem, bad caps. Changed all on board and no difference. Shelved it for a while, then did research on the internet. Apparently it could have been a software glitch and needed updating. Downloaded several versions from a website and stored them on a USB stick. Plug the stick in, then press the on off button on the remote, whilst plugging the mains back in. It started doing something different, then switched on. But the picture was upside down and wrong format. Loaded up the next version on the stick and tried again and hey presto! It worked. You need the internet these days and some insider knowledge.
As a young lad in the ‘60’s I had a hand held plastic maze toy with a blob of mercury in it the aim of which was to get the blob from the start point to the finish without it breaking into 1 or more pieces. If you shook it hard the mercury would end up in multiple pieces then I would spend ages rolling the toy around to join up all the pieces into 1 blob again. Had hours of fun with that.
People are so scared of mercury for being poisonous. Do not look up what dental amalgam is made of. They contain obscene quantities of mercury and it sits in your mouth forever more after you’ve have fillings done.
Mercury isn't anywhere near as dangerous so long as you don't deeply inhale the fumes. Its even relatively safe to handle so long as you have no abrasions or cuts on your hands. The problems arise if you stupidly drop/spill some on a carpeted floor as its gonna sink right in immediately and then gently release its odorless invisible vapors unless you cut out that bit of flooring and replace.
That is a nice clock. I'm kind of disappointed you didn't need to fix the actual mechanism, it would have been interesting to see that. But it's good to see this is still working well after so many years. Most of our modern junk won't last, and will need people like yourself to repair them if they don't end up in landfill.
I love your videos and your methodical approach. But while watching, I wondered why you never tried to heat up the top part of the liquid so it would expand aswell. This really drove me crazy and almost had me shouting at the screen. 🤪 But you got a result in the end, and that is all that counts 👍 Thank you for all your videos.
Lovely repairs, Vince! I don't think there's an air bubble in that thermometer, Vince - it should be in a vacuum. Otherwise the alcohol (pink fluid) would not be able to expand as temp goes up, because the air bubble is expanding as well. That is a vacuum (I think). I would have heated the top end, to see if the pink colour there was dried out colouring material that needed to be loosened. No Matter- you fixed it, as you always do. Well done.
I always orient screws such as those making the slot vertical, that way no dust will build up on the tiny shelf created when the slot is horizontal. I never heard this as "dressing the screws."
That clock reminds me of one I won at bingo on a seaside holiday in the 1970s. It didn't have date or temperature but it was a nice metallic green with chrome bezel. I wound it once but got no sleep as the ticking was so loud!
Heating the thermometer was very intense and I like that alarm clock. The Bitt Boy was nice. The bose is a mysterious thing. I liked the alarm clock the most and it's really beautiful.
I asked a veteran nurse about that once. The siad they used to grab it from the top and wave it in a downward fashion, like they were cooling the thermometer. That usually forced it back together. You'd have to remove the tube from the mount to do that.
Hi Vince, with the clock, do a video on giving the gears etc a good clean, greasing the pinions and the pallette fork, It's the pallette fork that makes the ticking noise as it swings to and fro, a good clean and lubricating usually quietens the clock part quite a lot Yip the clock was my favourite as well, Thanks for another great video. Ray
“Quietens” I'm reasonably sure is not a word. Then again, English is my third language so I could be wrong. Just feels wrong to say it. “Quieter” is the right word, I think.
My Bose started flashing about 6 weeks ago for the first time ever, had it about 7 or 8 years. I however stripped it down not knowing there could be a software update until i googled it after it was in pieces. If you ever strip it down & remove the grills, take note they are glued down & hooked in to the body at both ends, so need lifting in the middle to break the glue first. The rubber seal stays attached to the grills.
The two top down racing games I remember from my old arcade playing days are Super Off Road and Neo Drift Out. Also I've a soundlink mini 2 which I imagine probably needs a battery switch myself but in fairness I've been using it for years and it's still going.
You're quite right about the batteries being locked. The BQ chip unlocks the battery when it is installed in a laptop (or locks it if there is a problem). With plus and minus there is a clock and a data line and sometimes other signal wires.
If the A, D, V, Up, Down trick doesn't work for the flashing red light problem, Try O, P, T, Up, Down. From that menu you can clear errors, then do the ADV menu again. That worked for me once. Shame on Bose for having to jump through these stupid tricks instead of making the speaker software handle this. I wonder how many of these have been tossed needlessly.
I agree - the software should be able to detect a speaker in an error state as even in that state it still makes the usb chime when plugged in. Then it could offer to reset the speaker, kind of like iTunes / mac Finder does with an iPhone in DFU mode.
If it's a mercury filled thermometer you cool it down with like liquid nitrogen and let it come back to room temperature in an upright position... it should pull it back down. For spirit filled ones the tapping method should work. This seems a spirit one 🙂
Hi Vince, the Bose hot-glued speaker and batteries - I did not send those batteries over 😀And yeah, IPA works on hot-glue like magic. Other than that, Nice fixes mate!
Cheers Marcel, that was in fact another Marcel, this Marcel was from the Netherlands 😂 Quite a few years ago now, not sure if he still watches the channel 😎
Vince, that small bit left in the beak is likely imbedded in the glass. That is how they filled those. They would pull a vacuum then let the vacuum pull in an exact measured amount the melt the top closed. That isn't abnormal for old thermometers, especially not cheaper ones.
When I was a kid (I'm much older than you) doctors used thermometers they put under your tongue to take your temperature. Back then they were mostly mercury, but no matter what was in them they had to shake the things violently before and after use to ensure the liquid was all forced back down to the bulb end. The liquid parting company was a common occurence.
He spent all that time worrying about the miniscule amount left at the top and what effect that would have on the accuracy, but didn't figure out that calibrating it happens when it's remounted correctly on the scale. Which he didn't do.😅
What worried me that it was only half wa When there's like eight different items getting fixed into one videoy through he worked But in distance it's just been all hot glued together out it wasn't mercury. Mercur I'm not going to be using this battery pack anyway because this battery pack has failed so after about 5 or 10 minutes, of course, being very very nasty indeed and not to be messed with. WTF ! I didn't type any of that drivel apart from the word mercury. That is very weird indeed. Anyone know how that can happen ? It's like my cautionary post re mercury has been mixed with someone else's post. Ah, speech to text was on on my tablet. Oops.
|After a couple of days you would tune out the ticking of the clock (maybe not in a bedroom), I have three grandfather clocks in my living room not to mention several mantle and wall clocks (yes I like clocks and repairing them) but only hear the ticking when I first go in to the room (also have one on the landing) visitors always comment on how loud they are but I don't hear them.
I had a small jar of mercury I played with as a child. As long as you don't ingest it. This is an alcohol thermometer. If you know a nurse, get her to flick it for you. There is a technique involved. I was briefly a student nurse back in 1983.
That Bose speaker is everything that's wrong with modern electronics & companies. Hidden menus, sneaky ways to make you think your stuff's broken, built to fail from day 1. Hate it all.
That's generally why I don't own nice things. The cheaper brands usually don't bother with the "you bought it but we own it still" tricks and BS. Also, I don't like to pay extra to support a manufacturer (I'm looking at you, Apple) whose business is to make unrepairable e-waste on purpose. Lucky UK got the cellphone law where they have to make slide-in battery replacement available on all phones. I don't see the US ever doing that any time soon. I can't even find a legitimate battery for my 3 year old Google Pixel battery. Only rebranded fake old, used batteries sold as new. But hey, everyone loves e-waste, that's why we ship it to China, like the remains of the world trade center. That's not evidence of a crime scene, that's valuable scrap to sell to China. That makes sense, right? Damn Republicans.
My friend first you were compressing air between two liquids so the pressure in this small tube was immense. The alcohol also has a kind of colour that little bit left at the top was leftover of colour. If I was you I will start heatin from the top to make the trapped liquid thinner etc etc.
Good to see you back vince. That clook looks really nice, and that speaker looks like a bear to work on! not very repair frindly at all. I agree with not wanting to take the grill out. Also the random bricking thing is wierd. You'd think after a few firmware updates they'd have ironed out all the bugs.Or mabye its a feature - to convince people to keep buying a new speaker every few years! Otherwise why hide the reflash functionality behind a secret code?
Oh the thermometer tension! You should work in a school science dept and you'd get to boil lots of higher temp thermometers in oil - a pop means they've just blown the top off 🙂
Maybe you were thinking about Super Off Road. the arcade with three steering wheels ( Red, Yellow, Blue ) where you would get power ups and upgrade your car to race other trucks. I loved that game. I have seen one online for a mere £7000.
Nice and interesting fixes. Thought the thermometer fluid would join easily, as to my understanding, fluid does not compress, but air does, but didn't seem to be so easy after all. Have had some very weird keyboard issues in my laptop, first some ghost key presses appreared (arrow down). Managed to make that go away by cleaning dust away under the keys, but there's still some gremlins, as if there's some kind of short inside the keyboard, or parasitic current draw, even no ghost key presses happen anymore. For example computer does not go to sleep mode, it immediatly starts back up again. It does hibernate and shut off, but intermittently restarting is tricky, no start from the power button, having to press randomly arrow up and down keys and then it starts from the power button. Even then, it doesn't continue starting from the manufacturer logo screen, until I press arrow up key. When the computer is powered off, something is still drawing some power from battery, unless I press again the arrow keys, so the power light turns off. Otherwise the laptop seems to work normally. This laptop is not compatible with Windows 11, and Windows 10 support ends next year, so it's pretty much on it's last legs anyway, so I don't think it's worth fixing this one, otherwise I'd replace the integrated keyboard. Still, I have much older computers, for example Commodore Amiga 500, and it's keyboard is still working just fine, and HP Brio PC from 2001, also with working keyboard.
The term you are looking for the battery not showing a voltage is “Sleep Mode”. A lot of batteries are required to be in this mode to be shipped safely. When I was working on iPhone repair the iPhone 10 and up batteries had this so at first I thought they were all bad. Also, the Chinese clock is that yellow plastic is that yellowed by default or does it maybe need retro bright?
Thermometer, when in the hot water gently tap the bottom so the inertial will help break the surface tension and move down the walls. keep tapping so the air is trapped above the fluid.
Kinda miss the loud clicking of wind up clocks used one for years. I had a portable folding one for deployments as long as you keep it would very reliable it will out last the other devices it not dropped.
it is great when the community can come together and share helpful hints and tips Vince, and always something to fall back on even years later, I hope Daniel Jeffery is still watching for the free shout out.
Great to see you back Vince
Would love to see more clock repairs I work on clocks myself and you've always made good clock repair videos.
You fixing that thermometer with the heater was one of the most intense things I've watched in a long time. Good video!
Have always enjoyed this channel since my freshman year of high school, I graduated in 2022. These videos have always been cozy and educational. Thank you Vince.
Is the US educational system really that poor
Worst than you think

Dude you cannot disappear for 2 weeks!! The Vince Fix is real!
Yay! Glad to see you back =D Wow, that thermometer was hard to sort!
So, just to summarise, you really love the video and editing side of what you do.
Really cool to see a vintage analogue version of those alarm clocks with built in date and thermometer that you can buy today.
Vince your videos are amazing so interesting I can't stop the video midway until you have found the fault on an item it's so attention captivating keep up the good work Vince looking forward to more videos I can learn and enjoy from!!!!
Im glad you remember pigeon street.
neither my younger brother or my older sister remember it. (i think they blanked it from trauma)

Love the clock and the repair and as a bonus we get a bit of classic MMV appalachian sunrise ;-)
Brilliant video Vince great fixes and it’s good to never give up trying 😊
I got the same speaker for really cheap and fixed it after your first video all those years ago. Thank you Vince! Greetings from Italy!
So glad you are back. Love all your videos. Best wishes from Virginia!!
A nice hour long fixing video right before the weekend.. awesome ☕
The red liquid in thermometers is usually an alcohol-based fluid and not that dangerous. The really old silver ones are what you should be careful of.
Yes, the silver ones were mercury filled, very poisonous.
As a young lad in the ‘60’s I had a hand held plastic maze toy with a blob of mercury in it the aim of which was to get the blob from the start point to the finish without it breaking into 1 or more pieces. If you shook it hard the mercury would end up in multiple pieces then I would spend ages rolling the toy around to join up all the pieces into 1 blob again. Had hours of fun with that.

Love your vids and your troubleshooting techniques. Thanks!!
i like your videos. please keep them going.
I like the video and loved the music tracks as well.
Nice repair video !
I've watched England penalties that haven't been as tense as the thermometer fix. Absolutely engrossed and rooting for the fix 😂

Nice video as always. Wish me luck, this weekend I will try to disassembly my Mac for overheating problems (never taken apart a MacBook😬)
Love the 70s sitcom intro.
I always orient screws such as those making the slot vertical, that way no dust will build up on the tiny shelf created when the slot is horizontal. I never heard this as "dressing the screws."
I'm sure it's a Brit thing. Definitely sounds like it.
That clock reminds me of one I won at bingo on a seaside holiday in the 1970s. It didn't have date or temperature but it was a nice metallic green with chrome bezel. I wound it once but got no sleep as the ticking was so loud!
Vintage designs and quality are so much cooler than what we get today. LOVE these clock designs!
Heating the thermometer was very intense and I like that alarm clock. The Bitt Boy was nice. The bose is a mysterious thing. I liked the alarm clock the most and it's really beautiful.
Great fixes Vince Thanks. 🤓
He is back ❤❤❤❤ thank you lovely video😊
I asked a veteran nurse about that once. The siad they used to grab it from the top and wave it in a downward fashion, like they were cooling the thermometer. That usually forced it back together. You'd have to remove the tube from the mount to do that.
Medical thermometers had a kink in the tube to stop it running back until it had been read, hence the shaking to get it back down past the kink.
that glass sfx actually got me
same lol
Another great video,I have watched all your videos and what most of them have In common is your very distracted from the job you set out to do 😆 🤣

Reassemble it back together. If you didn't tear any of the ribbon cables, that is.
You were correct Vince on the super sprint game it did have the steering wheels in the arcade as well as super off road had the wheels as well
Vince I’m so happy you’ve returned. 😁
The two top down racing games I remember from my old arcade playing days are Super Off Road and Neo Drift Out.

You can adjust the thermometer up and down against the scale to set it.
Fantastic video
You're quite right about the batteries being locked. The BQ chip unlocks the battery when it is installed in a laptop (or locks it if there is a problem). With plus and minus there is a clock and a data line and sometimes other signal wires.
I have missed your vids Vince
The red in the thermometer is alcohol (either ethanol or isopropanol) dyed red. They stopped making them with mercury because of the health hazards.
If the A, D, V, Up, Down trick doesn't work for the flashing red light problem, Try O, P, T, Up, Down. From that menu you can clear errors, then do the ADV menu again. That worked for me once. Shame on Bose for having to jump through these stupid tricks instead of making the speaker software handle this. I wonder how many of these have been tossed needlessly.
I agree - the software should be able to detect a speaker in an error state as even in that state it still makes the usb chime when plugged in. Then it could offer to reset the speaker, kind of like iTunes / mac Finder does with an iPhone in DFU mode.
The alcohol is heavier than the air or vacuum, so I think tapping it vertically bulb down will increase the weight and overcome the capillary action.
If it's a mercury filled thermometer you cool it down with like liquid nitrogen and let it come back to room temperature in an upright position... it should pull it back down. For spirit filled ones the tapping method should work. This seems a spirit one 🙂
Good job done...

Creative video, thanks :)
Vince, that small bit left in the beak is likely imbedded in the glass. That is how they filled those. They would pull a vacuum then let the vacuum pull in an exact measured amount the melt the top closed. That isn't abnormal for old thermometers, especially not cheaper ones.

vince i want see more of your sound affects mate lol 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
omg, that bit heating the thermometer was sooo tense
Really was indeed
I was half expecting it to explode in his hand 😮

Thanks Vince! That was a nice video with some great fixes!!
Is anybody keeping track of how many times Vince says "I don't think I'm going to be able to fix this" and then he does? 😁
That clock is handsome.
got to admit, 3:45 was the first time you got me with one of those effects... well played mr. MMV, well played.
I had a small jar of mercury I played with as a child. As long as you don't ingest it. This is an alcohol thermometer. If you know a nurse, get her to flick it for you. There is a technique involved. I was briefly a student nurse back in 1983.
that little clock got them big balls 😂
Now this reminds of why nurses or doctors used to shake thermometers.

A very interesting video vince when are you going to revised the video of the two sony cybershot were you fixed one not the other one
That could be a new series: Fix a Mix by VINCE :D
Good to see you back vince. That clook looks really nice, and that speaker looks like a bear to work on! not very repair frindly at all. I agree with not wanting to take the grill out. Also the random bricking thing is wierd. You'd think after a few firmware updates they'd have ironed out all the bugs.Or mabye its a feature - to convince people to keep buying a new speaker every few years! Otherwise why hide the reflash functionality behind a secret code?
That ticking clock adds to the suspense near the end!
but hello there welcome back mate where have you been past 2 weeks? maybe you tell in vid i have not seen it just yet will look later trough :D
Was that night glowing markers on the clock. Easy with that because it can be radioactive
Gosh it feels like years since the last MMV fix it video.
Irritating is a good word for that Pigeon Street show. Just checked out the opening credits. Couldn't go any further.
Oh the thermometer tension! You should work in a school science dept and you'd get to boil lots of higher temp thermometers in oil - a pop means they've just blown the top off 🙂

Nice and interesting fixes. Thought the thermometer fluid would join easily, as to my understanding, fluid does not compress, but air does, but didn't seem to be so easy after all.
Have had some very weird keyboard issues in my laptop, first some ghost key presses appreared (arrow down). Managed to make that go away by cleaning dust away under the keys, but there's still some gremlins, as if there's some kind of short inside the keyboard, or parasitic current draw, even no ghost key presses happen anymore.

Thermometer, when in the hot water gently tap the bottom so the inertial will help break the surface tension and move down the walls. keep tapping so the air is trapped above the fluid.
Kinda miss the loud clicking of wind up clocks used one for years. I had a portable folding one for deployments as long as you keep it would very reliable it will out last the other devices it not dropped.
You can adjust your themometer just by sliding up slightly, then the temperature will display correctly.
I would try to put the heat on the top of the thermometer, forcing that small bit at the top down to the bottom.
one of the wires from the old battery pack in bose
was broken .
Damnit, Vince, you got me with that sound effect. 😂
