Been watching your channel for a few years now. Just enrolled in an electronics program. I've been wondering, are electronics technicians ever part of unions? Have you even been in one?
There are unions, biggest one is eta international. I’ve never been apart of one, I tried getting into an electrical union 24 years ago, didn’t pass the exam.
sir i am from india and govt website has legal books online like bharatskill website bharatskills.gov.in/Home/CTS here there are boooks on different iti trades please sir can you go through and review is this books enough to at least learn and earn my living as repair technician is it possible
Do you have the skills to fix things like fans, laptop mother boards, stovetops, etc? like every day household items. I am interested in learning how to fix stuff around my own house
Hi, in the last few seconds of the video you mentioned that next jobs in relations to electronics were: biomed and avionics and something else… correct?
hey thanks for this; ours is a Sorvall Legend Micro 17; can you confirm that this has the same board and components as the model you are covering? Do you have more info on disassembly and reassembly? I haven't attempted something like this before. thanks!!
Will try, got the same error! one question, it states the pressure part should be ordered separatedly, I am assuming you can unscrew the skiip part without taking it apart? Thanks!
Did you have to open it with a screw driver or did you just pop it open because my not working I want to see why it comes on but nothing comes out like it’s disconnected?
I’m a Heavy Equipment Technician currently working mostly on the electrical and would like to go into Autonomous Systems will Electronics Engineering be a good option for me?
Well that was short lived, the lube job I did on my handy hear has failed and the fan is making noise again. I will need to find a new fan for it. I took mine apart too and did find a model # on the fan but it lead to many 7015 style fan. I'm not sure of this fan is a 120mm fan or a 60mm fan.
Hey I’m 22 I took a few classes to gain my certification by I stop right before I could get into internships and potentially be hired is this time consuming for life and work balance I wanna do other things to build my life up I work at a museum but idk I need more insight
Biomed field can be very profitable for someone your age, when I was 20 I had heard about the field but never gotten into it, it’s a easy job to me, the longer you are in it, the higher you’ll be paid.then there’s the imaging service techs, who make 125-150k a year
Here in Denmark, the Equiwarm Pro ads (wchich I am getting spammed with on RU-vid) speak of "two Danish engineers" as the inventors. It really screams scam, so I was glad to find at least this one video/comment section exposing them.
There is the same scam product in Italy, with the same fake advert: two "genius" Italian inventors fighting against the rip-off of the big companies... it is ONLY SCAM!
I love this little device and have been using it for about two weeks now. Has been working great yet. It stopped working yesterday and started blowing hot air. Can you direct me as to how I can fix it myself? Thank you so much for any, and all information!
I wish the fake ads for this thing didn't have 10 times more views than your video. I came here because I saw an ad for a supposedly 129€ "EquiWarm Pro", which is only sold on the "official website", but even their advertisement video had the box in it saying "Handy Heater Turbo 800". What a scam. Thanks for the teardown!
Think I saw the same ad. Just for reference. I live in the Flemish (Dutch) part of Belgium, and the ad talked about how "2 Dutch engineers of the major dutch energy companies" invented it. It has "scam" written all over it, but I wanted to look it up all the same.🤣 Any chance yours was similar?
@@thomasvertommen9526 Yes, they generate random engineer names looking at common names in the target country from what I can tell. Rest was exactly the same.
@@thomasvertommen9526 Yeah same, I live in the Netherlands but my work VPN puts me on Belgium youtube. Apparantly they feel this will resonate with Belgians more ? haha. But they keep boasting about how in minutes it boost the room temp from 7c to 20c. The amount of energy needed for that is enormous, but this plugin fan will do it in minutes at 800w. lol. And the technique? Ceramic heating element! ceramic! Basicly all these youtube ads are scams, you can spot them from miles away
This is a very broad question. There are so many different reasons. From consumer to functionality. We can take a dive before they used circuit boards with traces, and talk about point to point connections. Old fm/am radios and TVs would be a easy subjects to look up about point to point, similar to wire wrapping with a rats nest of wires everywhere, you had a board less circuit of components spread out under the chasis. A nightmare to repair. Then they were to terminal connection, where metal posts were embedded into a fiber substrate board where the components leads were wrapped around it and soldered in place, again, replacing wasn’t the easiest but it was easier than the point to point connection. 50’s and 60’d came about of perf boards and strip boards, where copper were plated onto the circuit board, making it easier to solder components and easy for hobbyists to make their own design. Most of the heave current components still relied on wires to transfer the current or voltage to the next circuit as traces then were not design to handle such items like mosfets and bridges. In todays world, traces are designed not only to handle the current but to also control the speed of information being sent. Thermal designs also play a factor in why circuits are laid out how they are, some components run hot and need airflow. Then you have the world wanting things compact, so components are made smaller than they were 30 years ago, going from linear voltages to high speed switches generating the voltages. There’s also conforming to jedec standards. Now as far as design specs of hot and cold side of boards, it’s more of a noise and separation of high voltage and low voltages. In the old days people looked at the schematic as a layout and designed it in a block diagram, meaning how it was on the echaría is how they literally placed the components. Now they can move however they want due to better designs of the pcb process. They used to have to draw or tape out the circuits, expose it, etch it, by hand. Now everything is computerized, even the milling of holes.
Appreciate your insight, I’ve been in the navy working on avionics as an aviation electronics technician, definitely considering this field when I get out.
If you're going to be a Electronic Technician you BETTER BE good enough to work for QualCOMM or someone like that in the Engineering Department. Through Hole Tech is DEAD! You might be able to teach yourself how to work on Vacuum Tube Amplifiers and get some work. I'm 56 now and I'm glad my career is ending. It sucked (but I did make pretty good money).
Agreed, through hole is dead. In my local area there are some big factory places, but after 17 years of repairing electronics, I make more money doing biomed than I ever did troubleshooting components. Might less challenging, but I’ll be able to retire at this pay scale
I don't know how i got here, or why I watched the whole thing, but yeah good stuff. I'll keep that trick about filing down the contacts on those bigger relays in mind
Hey, I went into the Navy for aviation electronics technician MOS and spent only a year there due to disability. I still enjoy electronics and received an associate degree in electronics in 2021. I only have 9 months assembler experience, and did a little slot technician work. So far, I don't know how to break into the field I guess, I live southern MN and there is a dearth of jobs. So currently, like you said not to grow stagnant, I'm taking Penn Fosters electronics online... I dunno what else to do because my location is sort of the problem. What would you recommend? Take any and every chance to solder? I am also looking toward an CETa and J soldering cert to have a more well-rounded experience. I just need experience. I was told that assembler != electronics technician... so I am worried my experience is null. Otherwise, thank you for the video! Good content and thanks for your duty to electronics man appreciate it.
On your resume you'll need a skills portion. In that portion embellish a lot. You have to ignore the 50 years experience in what you apply for. You'll be trained in whatever process, just have the basic et knowledge to talk up at interviews. Tech work is heavily outsourced to h1b, so don't think in terms of "entry-level".
Most up to the twin cities or get into controls/signaling. All of the electronics labs and manufacturers are up in the twin cities. If you get into controls you can work in most industrial environments running their low voltage and programming PLCs
i am thinking to study electronic technician or something similar , I live in Los Angeles, do you know any good technical schools that you would recommend? Is Devry Institute or ITT any good? Also, I like to work in a field that has less pressures and not fast paces which feilds would you recommend? Thank you.
Decry is a great school and same with itt, but devry would be my choice if you are aiming for a bachelors. If you just want a associate, any college. Colleges won’t teach your troubleshooting f, that’s a skill you obtained while working. All jobs have stress, that’s not avoidable. The least stressful job I’ve had is doing biomedical work.
