very clever! I had given up on my bubble balancer because it didn't seem to balance as much as just stick wherever it was leaning toward. I'm gonna have to try this
I wish I had watched this video before attempting it myself. Although I did pretty much the same things, watching this first would've made it a lot easier. Anyway it didn't work, but like you said it was already fucked so doesnt really matter. I've owned over 50 (yes FIFTY!) razer products throughout the years and the support used to be good but since a couple years ago they are not very interested in helping, they just want you to buy new shit. The fact that this issue is so well known yet never fixed leads me to believe this is just planned obsolescence. Unless they manufactured all their nari ultimates at the same time, because I had 4 throughout the years and they all had issues. I'll buy a logitech headset next.
Dude, I've had my Razer Nari Ultimate for like 5 years, and they just suddenly disconnected a month ago. I had to use the 3.5 jack since then. Thankfully, I found your video, and I can't believe it actually worked! Side note, 210°C worked fine for me too. Huge thanks, man!
Glad it worked for you! Good job fixing it yourself! Cold joints on boards is pretty common. When I lived in Tokyo back in the 90s I got a brand new widescreen CRT TV that was thrown away bc of cold joints on the main board. I couldn't cook the whole thing, but used zip ties to bend the board enough to restore good contact. Never figured out which joint or component, and like this, doesn't matter. As long as it works!
I put the disassembled USB in the oven at 125 degrees for about 10 minutes and it works. I have 3 broken USB dongle from these headphones. I really like these headphones for comfort, sound and vibration. the battery sucks a bit compared to new models that last longer. finally don't have to look for another dongle from Aliexpress Thank you
@@silasmuller8051 has to be celsius as 125 F is only 51 C and that is not enough to melt the solder. i will try this RIGHT now in my kitchen oven ima report back if it works
Thank you very much. I solved the problem thanks to you. I heated it with a hair dryer without removing it, the plastic warped a little, but it works now :D
uhg what? i read a reddit post about the fuse part at the corner spot. i just used a tweser and pinced it close and it fixed it. but the distance I can go from dongle is like less than half from before.
Dude, thank you so much, my nari stopped working right before going out of warranty (didn't contact Razer support because I thought it was something wrong with my Pc, since it would connect to my Mac just fine, then it died.) tried doing this with a hair blower and it worked perfectly, although Razer being Razer their software fucked up my mic somehow so had to do a fresh windows install, but now it all works well, thanks!
Aside of this issue, it is still a static balancer. I wonder what happens, when you start rotating the wheel carefully - maybe by rotating the centre? Is it maybe possible to see a bad balanced wheel tumbling? 🤔
The correct way to balance a tire with a Bubble Balancer, per Goodyear, is to use 4 equal weights . Place wheel on balancer . Get 4 weights of equal value. Place two weights left and two weights right on the high side . Move the weights away from each other till buble is centered . Mark with yellow crayon marker. Take wheel off of balancer and pound on inboard weights . Place wheel back on balancer and adjust the remaining weights ( will be close to craynon marks ) Mark them and remove wheel and pound on weights. I learned this back in the 60s from Goodyear.
Thanks to all the all the good eyes spotting and pointing out that it's best to remove all previous weights before balancing/rebalancing. Now a question that's often debated for you guys, is there a limit on weights used per wheel? Leave your opinion in the comments!
You definitely want to remove all old weights before starting If you noticed your weights were opposite sides of each other so you were fighting other weight Absolutely unnecessary I balanced tires full time for 3 years
You failed to remove the old wheel weights on the tire, you can see two weights on it when you set the tire on the balancer. That is not a properly balanced tire.
Why does the wheel already have 3 weights on the outside and at least one on the inside? How do you know the ball is concentric with the wheel pilot? Did you adjust the tape? Is the resting surface level, not just flat?
works about as well as balancing a tire on your head. went out bought 99 dollar new balancer and 1.5 inch steel ball, leveled thick steel rod that ball sits on and tire still flops all the way to one side. NO idea how that balancer in video doesnt try to dump off rim when rim and tire is set on it. Only stays level with no rim and tire on it.
tried this........balancer levels out with no rim and tire on it......when I put a tire on it it flops totally to one side. does the steel rod have to be level, or close to level?
Don't do it. The ball bearing raises the center of gravity of the balancer to make it useless for most wheels (depending on the wheel offset). Just grind the aluminum lip flush on the upright rod and narrow the pointer with a grinder or file so the balancer rests on the tip of the point rather than the shoulder of the pointer (as it comes from the factory).
Your mod is severely flawed! As a person who designs and builds prototype machines for a living, I tried your mod. I took it a step further having a multi million dollar machine shop at my disposal. I machined a new shaft to go in the original base with a wide perfectly flat and polished surface for the ball bearing. The problem is if the surface the ball sets on isnt perfectly level the balancer will not repeat. If you counter bore the part that the pin goes into with a 3/16 drill without contacting where the pin seats and the sharpen the angle of the pin and polish it the balancer works perfect and repeats every time.
We tried sharpening the pin, but the metal was so soft it would mash every time it was used! But the angle thing is a great point, the shaft surface should be as level as possible, most carpenters levels can keep under .3 degrees, so use of one on the shaft in two directions could help ensure it. However the repeatability problem hasn't been an issue. I wonder how your setup or use was different, do you have video of your testing?
