Hi, I have a a puegot 108 allure it also has a reverse cam, if I was to do this would I still get the visual for my reverse cam? I’m a bit unsure so sorry if it seems like a dumb question lol
Hah, grappig dat er zoveel mensen zijn gaan upgraden! Ooit het draadje aangemaakt op een Toyota-forum. Volgens mij zijn er al erg veel overgezet inmiddels. :)
Worked like a charm! The usb-hub behind the head unit in my peugeot 108 was turned with its face towards the front of the car (I noticed because I saw screws facing me, and the USB on the right-side of the usb-hub was positioned more towards the the top of the usb-hub instead of the bottom like in the video), so I had to unplug the bottom-left instead of top-left USB and redirect it! Please beware of this potential detail everyone :)!
So i have same car with buttons in the steering wheel but I have a radio with Bluetooth and I can see that it is the same plate around the screen. Can I buy a screen with three buttons (CarPlay) and plug and play? I can send you picture of my radio from behind
@@TimsElectronicsLab sorry I was not clear. So I mean the cable coming from the hub, that was previously connected to the head unit. That cable was disconnected from the head unit, before rerouting the cable coming from the USB port, which is plugged into the head unit directly now. My question is: what is done with the cable that you unplug from the head unit (the one that comes out of the hub)
Hi, Great video! I have a Quooker where the PCB is broken. Im considering adding a simple switch for control, but I cannot find any pinout for the jack. Can you share yours? Cheers, Kristian
Hi Tim, thanks for spreading the news. I hadn't found the time to translate the video. But that seems redundant now ;) Please give me a ping when the pcb's are in. My quooker broke once more. The microcracks turned out to be unrepairable. Cheers Chris
You definitely need to get another shroud for the radio if you'd going to give that a try. Do you have steering wheel buttons? If so, I think it should be possible
ik heb ook een toon die ik wil rooten maar ben helaas niet zo technisch aan gelegd, nu zoek ik iemand die dit voor mij kan en wil doen . ps ik kom uit de buurt van Venlo
What is the best solution to use to solve stiffness of the lever? Is it to the completely immerse the dismantled part in cleaning vinegar? Ot use WD40? Glassex? Special fluids of oils?
@@TimsElectronicsLab I beleived there's grease or oil inside somewhere as well. Not sure of that's a good combination with vinegar. (And did I mention you're great taking the time explaining how to fix things? However: you're great!)
@SibeJanKramer it cleaned up very well on mine. By the way, you can take the coper insert, which the tap handle screws into, apart to clean it properly. Thanks for your kind response! Much appreciated!
@@TimsElectronicsLab thanks for sharing. Quooker is so unhelpful ! They want me and many others like Me with the same problem to buy a new quooker service is so bad 😡. Looking forward to hearing more about the pcb you ordered. Many quooker owners will love a solution 🎉.
I give up, I've tried at least 10 times and I always get the same words.....no CD/DVD drive.(2)😢😢😢😭😭😭😭..... I think I won't be able to use it anymore😢😢
Top video! Ik kan verbinding maken met SSH met de Toon maar welke commando's gebruik je voor de update van de firmware van de Toon en de installatie van TSC? update-rooted.sh geeft een "not found" error? Thanks!
Thanks for the instructive video! It's been a big help. After closer inspection, what do you suggest to be the best way to take the ring off? I don't want to break the plastic ring holding it in place.
Yes. You take it of by force and it sounds like you crack the black ring which is keeping it in place. Knowing now how it is retained, how would you suggest to take it off?
@@user-nu2py9ds8i I just had a look at the remnants of my Quooker and there doesn't seem to be any broken plastic ring. I think it was just a bit calcic causing the sound
Thanks a million for checking Tim! I still wonder what keeps the boiling ring in place, to prevent it from popping off under normal circumstances. But if you got it off in one piece, that must be the way to go.
The black plastic ring which keeps the large metal ring in place can be removed by using a scalpel or thin knife at one of the ring ends (it is a splitted ring with approx 1 cm space between its ends). Carefully twist the knife to lift the ring end so that it can be moved free from the body. A pair of fine tweezers may help.@@user-nu2py9ds8i
I got another version of Liitokala charger that looks pretty much similar to yours including the circuit. I used it for testing the capacity of 18650 batteries. It did go well testing around 50-60 batteries I extracted from an electric scooter. One of the resistors of the 3rd channel got fried up, R330. There are 4 R330 SMD Resistors. Once this resistor got burned, channel 3 cannot be used for testing the capacity anymore. Though, channel 3 charges but the odd thing hangs up at 99% and never ends the charge cycle. I know this sounds I've got a bad battery, but no, it was the charger. And hell yeah, this charger gets hot overtime especially considering that a capacity test at 500 mAh takes a long time, for 2500-2600 mAh batteries around 5 hrs. Why they didn't just stuff a fan!
@@TimsElectronicsLab Not now. I just found the Litiokala charger that I have is inconveniente for my use. I test hundreds of cells. Though, I added a fan to it and bought more testing equipment and chargers/dischargers. I wouldn't personally recommend such chargers/dischargers that come without any proper heat dissipation for testing a lot of cells. Overall, it worked fine and I tested quite enough of cells before it failed.
hi, tell me something, what are the resistors for, is it not the same as soldering the cables directly to the points without the resistors???, thanks in advance.and why i can't use another dvd-rom
i can't believe that someone's made a video about something this specific! i had this same issue with a OnePlus 11 and attempted this fix with a 25V 47uF cap i had lying around. unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. my unit also has a very loud coil whine depending what's plugged in. a power bank attempted to draw over 1.5A and the unit flickered while the voltage drooped. phone did the same as yours while repeatedly making a high pitched whine. however, a USB light strip and an old micro USB powered smartphone were both able to draw 1A stably and quietly. i think my unit is just defective and while USB output would be a nice feature for emergencies, i have far better power banks in the unlikely event that i need them. ive seen cheap 18650 power bank cases that can even do USB-PD
Thanks for your kind comment! I love the charging feature of this device, but indeed, the USB charging feature is kind off broken from the factory. Are the batteries of the PD powerbank you mentioned swappable?
@@TimsElectronicsLab That's great to know, thank you. I ordered one but it seems to be the same type that doesn't have a built-in battery like yours. I will follow your instructions, have a nice day
In my case, the light turns off when the alarm goes off. It does turn on in the build up to the alarm, and also when used individually (without the alarm). I opened it up and clean it up a bit with Deoxit, but it still does the same. Any idea which part of the circuitry might be faulty? Or how to go about identifying which part is faulty? Thanks!
@@Scalee I seem to have fixed it. Remains to see if it'll stand the test of time. I cleaned and re-soldered a few parts, but I think what did the trick was identifying and re-soldering one connexion that seemed faulty (not sure what the component is exactly) as shown here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgavr0jkTII.htmlsi=d-cJdu0The5WzF0z&t=1010 Good luck
Mine randomly starts to make the ticking sound despite me not touching it. Very annoying as it can start doing that out of nowhere. When I move the power connector plug (like rotate it while plugged in) it can turn off. Quite weird. As someone with not much electronics experience I'm rather hesitant to dive into this. Oh Phillips, you could have done better!
@northridgefield could be that there was some corrosion on the contacts or something. I've had this myself and I'm still using it every day since the creation of this video
