My Solder Mask UV Light BROKE! | Can I FIX It?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 май 2023
- I use this thing all the time, but it's stopped working. I don't remember dropping it! 😬
It's the catchily-named QianLi Intelligent UV Light Curing Lamp, and there's definitely no UV light coming out of it!
If you want one, they're here: amzn.to/3Men9vB
Let's have a look and let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Stupid. Solder. Mask. Curing. Device. Thing.
impressive fix
(circle of life)
Don’t shine that uv touch in my face mate, I’ve just lost a pint of blood
not sure but it looks like there was an empty spot just right of the Y1 for a 202? I wonder if that's intentional?
I kept wondering how you were going to solder mask the exposed track/wire on a soldering mask curer? Mirror contraption? 😂
Since these are filmed under a microscope I tend to lose the sense of scale for the components you work with. I'm always really impressed when you fix stuff but seeing just how tiny that transistor was makes it even more impressive!
When he puts his finger on the circuit board... XD
There is no way you're able to fix it without a microscope and a micro soldering tip.
I feel the exact way.
@@goku445diode gone wild does this stuff with half an ounce of rosin and his grandpa's soldering gun.
Just in case you were wondering, these 2 digit 7 segment displays are simply light emitting diodes tied together with a common anode and separate cathodes. Each segment lights up when a current flows from the common anode to it's individual cathode.
Each digit has one anode so in your case, more than likely that anode was on the same power rail as that transistor. When it exploded, it knocked out two things in one go. The positive supply to the first digit of the display and also the UV LED too.
Some segment displays work the opposite way around...with only one common cathode and separate anodes. (Just to confuse us all!)
Beer and watching Steve fix a uv light on a saturday evening, weekend highlight for sure.
I watch 3dbotmaker and lockpicking lawyer. But your videos are the best. The tunes, the electronics, the humour, and youre so down to earth.
Keep it up mate
Really is full circle when you fix the things that fix things. Well done!
Would be ironic if it needed a solder mask
@@tehedx thought thé same 😂😂😂
@@tehedx No lie, as soon as I saw him use the wire I went, "Wait..."
@@GameRaveTV 😂😂😂😂😂
Why do your hands often look like you run an underground cat fighting league.

@@cerinicholls6143 Meow...
Kill jery
Maybe because he is 😜
I always forget he raps too. Its such a funny surprise. Total legend
Hopefully you don't need any solder mask for this repair
lol, came here for this comment. i knew i wasn't the only one thinking it
out in the sun!
@@goku445 He lives in England, us Brits barely know what the Sun is
STEZSTIX FIX!!!!!!!!!!
I only discovered your channel recently, but just want to say thanks for all the videos 😂 entertaining and informative, as they say!
Countdown soundtrack!!! 😂😂😂
Came here to comment that this gave me whiplash and my wife and I both busted out laughing when the countdown bit played
Really nice fix. As the channel grows so has the intricacy and neatness of the fixes. Very enjoyable.
Great use of the Countdown music! 😆
Maybe it's time to acknowledge evolution - from Cpt. Botch to Dr. Fix and from Nice to Boom. 👏👏
Hadn't heard Circle of Life in ages. This morning, my daughter starts listening to it. I go upstairs and start watching this video to get some respite. And then BOOM, here it is again. I'm so confused.
Synchronicity!
And "Summertime" style parody in one video! I am done!
This was very meta. Repairing the tools you use to do repairs.
🎉🎉 Weeks after weeks, always great content, well done Sir!
Thanks M! Much appreciated 👍
Hopefully you don't need to put any solder mask on the solder mask curer 😬
I have exactly the same device. I love it. Thanks for sharing the repair
Well done!
Loved the smooth groove VoS
Good work!
ah yes. and now it is the time that he starts fixing his old things. im here for it Stez
Very nice fix. Great job
Another SOLID job, done well! Thanks for sharing!
Your flow is so good, l love the VOS Patreon time 😘
Solid work!
Great job!
count down tune lets gooooooooooooooo
Props to the makers of this lamp to mess up the design of such a primitive device.
great job!
Nice fix
good fix steve
So good
It's incredible the size of those components
Crazy soldery thingy great video
Awesome fix Capt'n!
Thanks Chris! 😍
Solid video Steve!!
Excellent fix Steve nice save 😊
Haircut looking fresh Steve
Excellent
Nice.
Steve: YOLO
Dave: Deep PCB analysis
Awesome!
From now on i will only address you by your (semi) Official Title: Amazing Steve. This was world class. 99.99999% of the world population would have binned this item. No doubt. You, Amazing Steve, fixed it!!! You deserve way more than you will ever get...👍
Awesome video as usual man!
another great fix well done
Well done Steve you are a legend 👍👏👏😊
I'd forgotten that disassembly song.
Nice.
Always a good day when you upload!!!
Ювелирная работа! 😊
Well done, Steve! Good thing you didn't need solder mask to fix it...
I'm glad the timer works but I still didn't get the conundrum in time... 😂
You are the man!!
otro exito de Stix, otra mision cumplida, bravo
Brilliant
Another Solid fix👍😁
Amazing lyrics and remix for Summertime 😊
Ahhh Steve, this is my favorite gadget that you use in your fixes - so glad you were able to get it working again!!!! Great *solid* fix as always. P.S. also thank you for showing us how really tiny these components are - under the microscope they look normal but its only when you show us the reality does one appreciate the effort involved!! 😀😀
Thanks Greg, yeah those components always look so big under the microscope! 😬
@@StezStixFix That's what you tell all the girls
@@relax142Man soll nicht von sich auf andere schließen. Wäre dir angeraten.
@@StezStixFix cut your fingernails!
@@StezStixFix That is what she said.
OMG that rhymes for this is amazing.
Well done on the repair,it looked a bit tricky,looking smart with your short back and sides haircut.💯✌🏻
Steve love the videos ,please do a video, if you haven't done one, on the settings for the multimeter and how it works ie where you put your probes on boards and the various settings on the thing for all of us who have one but don't understand the hows and whys of it. solder skills to to die for thanks mate
Nice
I love to see that you swim against the tide of this throwaway society and bring even cheap things back to life with little money, persistence and brain power.
Wow, i am overwelmed by the rhymes this time Steve! I never skip a song and i'm proud of it
The song this week is an absolute banger!!!!
Nice and .... Solid 👍
That synth tune is a real banger!
loved the countdown music
Love the Countdown-jingle! 😄
I like the "summertime" haircut. 😊
Brilliant! 😆😁
Hair cut looking fresh mate
Solid!!!
Genius.
Great guide. I just used it to open a brand new device to solder in a lipo since it came without it 😂
Another Tech device fixed by your good self Steve 👍
Good job I like 😊
solid …. fix
One love circle of life device😀👍❤️🥂
You're the guy!
That song is going to be stuck in my head all day now..... thanks....
nice
Absolute bop.
For any newcommers: VOS = Voice over Steve
Steve, I stopped watching another video when I saw the notification for this video! Great video mate! Glad you got it working. Please ask VOS to keep up with the great music
this was a real Bill and Ted moment. you left a note for your past self to purchase the exact component you needed. and when you checked, yes you had indeed completed the loop.
When many components fail, they get very hot as part of the process. This heat degrades surrounding material and generates gas. Gas generation in a confined space is how guns and internal combustion engines work. It’s also how you explode components and send pieces flying.
When Steve runs out of things to fix, he starts breaking his own stuff😂
Nice job....love your haircut! You should try a flattop, you'd look great
Summer summer... er... VOS tiiiiiiiime.... LOVE IT!
That's a cute lil device.
All I use is this UV "flashlight" (torch?) that is for highlighting car A/C coolant leaks. It comes with the pretty yellow glasses. Very stylish! LOL
It's bulky and bright and is just the UV LED panel with 4 batteries inside. Very basic. But hey, it works.
But I do like that lil device you have.
Hi Steve
Great fix. Luckily you didn't need to use solder mask for the fix.
Riveting. A real page-turner. Nailbiting suspense. Good music.

Get in!! Go Wrexham!!!!!
Nice haircut Steve
Hey Steve! you should put some conformal coating on that little bit of wire, you know? put the conformal coating on then get your UV.......OH!
That’s wild you actually had that transistor on hand lol
