That thing was not old nor rusty, mild scrubbing with a toothbrush removed all the "rust". polymer and plastic don't rust. The moving parts moved fine after slight cleaning. He definitely stages these vids.
I looked at the plastic body Nikon and the lens, and that was as far as I was going with this. Obvious fake. You wrote close to what I was going to write without me even seeing the video.
As a photographer, it is so painful to see a sensor being scrubbed by a goddamn toothbrush. And what is he doing checking the "currents"? he is just randomly placing the probes on the board. smh these fake restoration channels cringe af.
Some emery cloth on the sensor and lens would've made a world of difference too. I bet the sensor size went from crop to medium and the resolution increased from 10 million to 1000,0000,0000. Great that a multimeter and soldering iron are in fact magic wands.
@@tubebarros Give him a lump of rusty iron, give him a soldering iron, a multimeter, TADA! You have a lump of gold. The guy's a freaking alchemist really!!
The video is totally in reverse. He firs took the final shots where the camera works and the then put some putty to pretend the plastic got rusty (lol) and tooth brushed it and soldered some random spots.
I don't want anyone to get mad, but I think it's easier to revive Ho Chi Minh's mummy than it is to revive that rotten camera. However, it is very interesting to see the inside of the machine.
What was the continuity testing all about, when i work on cameras, i have to use an oscilloscope, signal generator a power supply and a extremely clean environment. especially for the lens and sensor. and lots of time, and a workshop full of parts. just washing does not cut it.
Unless you can get replacement parts for bupkiss, there's no way. Why would somebody who is skilled enough to repair a digital camera be picking through garbage anyway? I call this whole video bogus.
14:07 it shook the world when the almighty plastic finally get rusted and you did excellent job by restoring it yet you failed to restore your screwdriver ?
Да это для просмотра делают видео. Сначала снимают как он работает и все такое, а потом убивают эту камеру. Но народ ведется и просмотры набегают. Там же такая механика замороченная в затворе и зеркале. Как датчики фокусировки переживут шкрябанье щеткой ХЗ. У Никона на некоторых моделях они от эксплуатации-то отъезжали. А уж после снятия матрицы вообще юстировать ее нужно и т.д.
@@renatsalimgareev ахаах очевидные вещи говорите😋👍 больше всего бесят те кто делает "диорамы" и потом типа из реставрирует. У меня к примеру настоящие ржавые игрушки, а не разводняк
Yesssss my favorite classic stroll and a look through some random rubbish In a dirty street and randomly find an electronic device. Do you guys all read the same script?
Cameras don't rust like metal :) Even though the movie is a set-up. Nikon, where it is supposed to show the durability of these cameras, is a glory for the person who efficiently breaks down this body into prime factors. I watched it out of curiosity because I use Nikon myself.🙂
I too disassemble and reassemble lenses in a dirty shop behind my house. As long as you can get it to "mostly fit" back together there will be no problems!
Well, I bought a pro Canon 1dxII from a local camerashop, and it had been submerged for a while, and then left for 4 years, as the camera repair shop said every single part and all, cables and pcb's were dead. I found the original report of repair attempts, and even spoke to the repair technician. So, I got it super cheap just to use the eyecup and the front cap, but curiosity took over, and I spent a weekend taking it semi (or halfway) apart. Used one 000 screwdriver, one pincet and a very great number of cottonswaps, an old natural hair toothbrush, plus electronics cleaner spray (a propper one), and compressed air on a can, plus the door open, to ventilate all of the isopropyl out. Phew. Not healthy to inhale, so don't! Now, I got the stuck buttons to function, actually all buttons work perfectly now, and it powers on, the shutter is perfect, all ports work, lens coupling work, reads CF cards and Cfast cards perfectly, both LCD and rear screen works, all menus work, I updated the firmware to 1.1.8 and the remaining part to do, is the mirror house and pentaprism. I suspect the problem lies in a gear that is stuck, "error 20/22", because of dissolved magnesium from the camerabody. There was lots and lots of white dissolved magnesium as powder and small "stones" everywhere, inside out. A ton of it. Now it looks completely as new on the outside and inside, and near everything works. The shutter works but the mirror only semi works. I am sure, I'll get there. Just need another weekend free of other things to do. Also, this camera lists out the shutter count as under 9000. That is seriously few shutter movements. The battery was beyond repair, so I use one from my other camera, similar, plus the charger. I could just insert new battery cells, but I prefer to get a new original battery, but not now, as I have two already. Now, I need to take apart and repair my Leica from 1954. So, to all of those who says it cannot be done: yes, it can done. This video though, is pretty "weird". Enough said. Cheers.
LOL The body and the lens were separated, but they stayed near this whole time. The most romantic story of the century. Oh, and they are very wet after being under the sun for hours. I know this video is purposed as a joke. I bet this guy is like, "Man, this Nikon D70 is so old and almost has no use these days. Let's turn this into RU-vid views."
Take two new cameras. Dunk one in mud. Clean mud off and dissasemble it then clean it some more, washing circuit boards in water so they will never work again. Put it back together. Then swap it for the other new camera to fool the viewers in to thinking you repaired it. No one will ever know.
You guys killed me with the comments. As a person who does not work in this field and has a very limited understanding of repairing tech, I thought this was real, and was EXTREMELY impressed.
I like that, when he put the lens back on the camera, the distance scale window was all miss alignment to the left, but after he put the battery in the camera and started to take picture, it was back top center where it belonged.
Such a great video! I didn't know plastic could rust to the point it looks like it's covered in literal shit! And wow! How you cleaned the PCB by dunking it in soap and water! Never thought about doing that! Totally won't fry the electronics. And testing the PCB! Wow, showing a whole 0 volts of current with random probing a PCB with no power hooked up!
The kind of "restoration" video were a device is destroyed and restored by the same person ... And the electrical test is just hilarious. And why not put the camera and the lens in the dishwasher or use the high pressure cleaner ?
