Nice video and easy-going attitude. As vehicles age circuit board issues are increasing, your visual inspection paid off. Have had to repair some ABS modules and the common problem are in the power supply area, careful soldering with a temp controlled iron and correct solder followed by as you say cleaning with isopropyl solves the problem. You have steady hands.
Sir, are u in Sydney? My 2004 BA XR8 Falcon's CD player has stopped working but the radio works, the display is still working, your help/ advice will be much appreciated. @@MiracleMAX
Hello there....I saw your article on Jestine's site .... Nisc quick fix ..... I remember taking Ford car radios apart in the 70's and 80's Those were a pain .... Till next time Mon Ami .....
Great video mate, wish i found it before i replaced my original BA Single Zone unit with BF Fairmont Dual Zone, so far every thing works great and with that i proved my mates wrong who were telling me that it couldn't be done. Any way i wanted to ask you if it is possible to get the reverse camera connected to the unit so the display shows on the units LCD. Cheers mate.
@@MiracleMAX No worries mate. The BA unit you worked on i would say no but i have Premium Color screen unit that came out of a BF, They are slightly different units. If you ask me, the screen is just a visual receiver that displays what is commanded to display but i could be wrong. Thanks for answering me mate.
Interesting and informative watching your video just now. My reason for watching is mine has unfortunately decided to "die" recently, so was looking to see if this could be it's problem or it's something else..... How would you like to repair another ... lol ?
Being through-hole components, they are fairly easy to do. It's just time consuming. Surface-mount components are a different matter. I've just got a digital microscope that makes it a heap easier for my old tired eyes 😁
So basically you can spend hours on end like a surgeon doing keyhole surgery, or whack an aerpro double din fascia and new unit, and enjoy things like maps, easy phone connectivity, and a reverse cam
I generally come across this problem from time to time. As i fix laptops. I never put a soldering iron on it as it may break the fine soldiers in components. When they manufacture the circuit board. They use a chemical induced soldier. I generally wash the circuit board with hot water. Then i blow dry every thing. At the place i worked at. We had a square infra red light that heated every thing to 55c. Unless a component wasn't working. We never used soldiering irons. If a component was damaged. We had a 240v that converts to 120v with a variable resister. We always used 120v soldering irons. That way we put only the heat required to change the damaged component.
Fair comment for smd for sure. As you said, it is also important to pre-heat boards so as to not stress joins or the board itself. As I was only soldering through-hole components, this was not a great concern. I also use a rework station with a temperature adjustable soldering iron, so that I can use only the temperature required. Thanks for your comment

I have just bought a digital microscope with 300X zoom. My poor old eyes aren't what they used to be. Steady hands? It's all in the editing! 🤔😁

Glad to hear you got some benefit from the video. I'm not sure the screen is set up to cope with video

I think I'll be posting mine over too when I get my ute serviced. Having no air con in the SA far north is not fun.
@@jamesaustralian9829 No it is not. Especially the 45 degree summers
man soldering all that seemingly small joins would drive me nutts.
i dont like these icc's much however ive seen aftermarket units now.

How do i get that diagram?
The customer supplied that diagram, but I'm not sure if this diagram in the forum might help
