RiskiFixes was created because I wanted to do something with my limited free time. I am no professional, but I love a challenge and I always try to fix things instead of replacing them with new ones. I've learned some of my fixing skills by watching RU-vid-channels, and I wanted to share my (non-existent!) knowledge to other do-it-yourself-people out there!
I also have a newly found passion for watches, so keep an eye for some pretty sweet and rare pieces. Please feel free to leave comments or send me an email, if you have any thoughts on my videos. Feedback is also much appreciated.
If you like my videos as much as I like making them, please subscribe and help me get rid of my day job, so I could do this for a living instead! Not kidding.
Dang, mine just started to break some months ago after almost 5 years of hard use. I thought I could repair it as good as new but with this kind of heatgun needed I guess its impossible for me.
I managed to repair my d90 thanks to this video. I encountered the same problem with the rear display on the first reassembly but by repositioning the 2 electronic cables the display reappeared. It is still better to have the service manual for the screw number. This seems essential to me for reassembly because many of the screws are different. Thank you so much!
Well, I tried and failed. I have neither a heat gun, nor a variable temperature soldering iron. Tried it with what I have, a wood burning iron, which is functionally identical to a soldering iron. My idea was to turn it off once it started melting the plastic, and turn it on again when it got too cool. Plastic ended up sticking to the iron bad, making it difficult to get the new keyboard in place due to all the missing plastic. Had to melt the waste plastic onto what was left of the tabs to form the rivets again, and even then they were brittle when cool. After that I find out the keyboard I installed was faulty, or I damaged it during my shoddy install (several keys don’t register unless pressed very hard and double type sometimes). I’m going to put a Bluetooth keyboard on top of my keyboard and call it good. I don’t think I’ll attempt this again without better equipment 😅
Thank you sir, I have little water damage a1466. There is backlight problem. Corrosion on D7701, L7701 and burned/rusted XW7720 button. Everything other is good, no damage/corrosion (LCD connector, capasitors C7796-97-99, even back side U7701 every one is good) I dont understand XW7720, What is your aim to scratch near XW7720 button and what did you do there? Please help me figure out this schematic about L7701----XW7720----D7701 (and back side U7701 IC). THANK YOU!
I'm having the same issue with my new old stock D300. The camera is literally new, it has +/-200 shutter actuations. This seems to be very common issue with Nikon cameras and the fact that Nikon has done NOTHING to address it is simply beyond me. What a crap company!
Was able to fix my D90 today with this video! 📷 To keep track of all the screws, I used the timestamp from the video when each was taken out and arranged them that way. So I could always go back on the video and locate where exactly it belonged. Thank you for the clear and detailed instructions!
Compré está mierda de maquina, que solo me duró dos sesiones de fotos. Es por lo que he visto la basura más grande jamás creada no me voy a molestar en repararla, la mierda hay que tirarla.
The only thing worrying my about doing this are the plastic rivets. You think its possible to remove them like you did with a blowdrier? I saw in another video someone removing the rivets with a box cutter and then soldering when reassemblying, but I was unsure if he was using solder and if thats ok for the laptop.
Hello, my recently bought TXQ saber has some similiar issues but im not a welder nor an electronics engineer, i have no idea how the cables and stuff works, and I have no tools to do all this... Currently my button is stuck as if its pressed it (although its physically not), the only way for me to turn of the saber is by removing the battery and putting it back in
May I ask, what amperage that fuze is? I have a similar situation, my screen backlight doesn't work, but when I project some light on the screen, I'm seeing the menus. LE: Just saw the fuze properties in the captions.
I got my hands on a purple one, worked for the summer then it stopped booting, itll boot once in a blue moon, but yheres a stripped main screw, so ill see what happens, cuz these housings oem arent cheap
Hello - just wanted to let you know that your video helped me be successful in replacing the gear for my elderly father's camera that we couldn't afford to pay to get fixed or buy a new camera - even second hand. I don't know how much longer my dad will be around but I know that with the time you took to make this video to help me fix his camera I will be left with many more special pictures and memories after he's gone. Thank you very much for your time and detail in making this video.
Thanks for the video, i spilled water over my keyboard about a year ago and with your tutorial i was finally able to fix my laptop and everything works perfectly thanks so much !!!!
Thank you very much for this video. My D90 had the same failure symptom and I disassembled it carefully following the procedure in the video. It was indeed the engine pinion that was cracked. I found one for €3.07 and reassembled my camera following the video. I just lightly re-greased the gears and it's back like new. Sincere thanks! 😀👍
