Hi Pete, it was a very good idea that you used some glooves. Touching these sensitive circuits with bare hand could ruin the whole electrical (discharge) . Some transistor could be damaged with 100v shortcut (for example you are charge by friction with your clothes). When human sens the spark during discharge, then it is around 3000v or above. Lot of time peoples assembly disassembly these stuffs and they dont understand why it is dead. Just wanted to share this info. Thank you for your work!
Hi Buddy, Yes, it's a very good point, I also made sure the gloves were new, as oils in the skin can conduct and cause problems with circuit boards. When I was on the maintenance team looking after our equipment, we used to use antistatic mats with gloves and earthing straps around our wrists when changing electronic components, obviously that's not practical for most busy guys in a paint shop but clean gloves certainly are. Cheers mate 👏 👌
Hi Pete, well that was a very easy battery change with no dramas or foul language🤬😅I hate to think what will happen when the battery goes in one of my DV1's🤷♂I know you said that they are soldered in but is it possible to do it yourself or is there no choice but to send it back for replacement, I really don't know what Devilbiss was thinking when they came up with this stupid idea🤔 I'm trying to find a 1.3 tip for my DV1 base gun, atm I'm using the 1.3 tip from my clear gun as they are both the same but it's a pain having to swap them over each time, they are silly money new but I can't find a second hand one anywhere on fleabay so if you come across one at a good price please let me know👌cheers mate👍 Oh I just realised I'm first on here for a change😁😎
Hi John, Yes, very easy. There's nothing on here about it, so although a very limited audience, I thought it was worth doing if only to show the battery type 😁 I have no idea what Devilbiss is up to. The cynic in me is thinking it is just a good way of charging 140 GBP for a one pound battery . The no cynic in me thinks it is just a way to charge 140GBP for a one pound battery 🤣😅 Mine hasn't needed changing yet but it should be possible to do it at home, we used to do the same with NiCad battery packs that were soldered, a 125w soldering iron did the job most of the time, we will see, cheers mate 👍
I think the no cynic and the cynic in you is spot on it's a total rip-off unless they do actually change the battery and only charge for said battery plus postage🤔probably wishful thinking on my part, I have a few soldering irons and a nice soldering station so I don't have an excuse not to try and do it myself other than the fact that I'm older and the old eyesight isn't what it was so when I've done with it it will probably be totally FUBAR🤠😂I hope it doesn't happen for a good long while🤞🤞👍
@JohnWD40TC02 I think they charge around the price I quoted, mate, for the full service. Hopefully, someone with experience will let us know, but I am sure it isn't cheap. Cheers, mate
Bad ass!!! Keep up the good work Pete!!!🤘 your videos are always top notch!!!
Cheers, Luke, much appreciated, buddy 👍
