Australia? Do you know Hugh Jefferys? One hobby of mine is picking up discarded phones, tablets, & laptops & tinker with them. Thank you 🤓 that liquid damage/corrosion looks scary! Is it better to lightly clean with alcohol those rough areas first, then use flux/hot air?
This is the C920, so basically the C922 without the 60fps 720p option. I deliberately picked up the 920 because it was "near new" 2nd hand for half the price and also it'd mean I wouldn't have a camera-name binding race condition issue every time I rebooted.
Wondering if perhaps it's a school thing, or maybe it's a case of simply making a bigger note of it in my head and I don't take note when they're not present. Yes, was certainly a bit of cleaning up to be done.
Well done, you didn't sound too stressed out and it's a happy machine again :-D Don't worry about the bonse hair, you have loads you swine, i started loosing it at 30. Now i can fit two hamsters on the head without trouble lol. No space for a wheel though... yet!!. The camera works well, i can see the microbes on your face sticking out there tongues at the camera :-D
Yes, happier with the separate webcam, everything is in prep now for the change over. I noticed in this video the quality was rather poor ( a lot of blocky areas ), not sure what happened there, maybe laptop wasn't keeping up well enough, either way, new machine should solve all that. Waiting on delivery of a couple of displayport cables though. At least with two hamsters they can keep themselves entertained.
The refurb boards are typically boards like this which have been fixed in the same way. At least this way I gain the full profit margin and I can cover the warranty if any future issues arise on the board. Refurb boards average about $400~$600 AUD (for this model), client still has to pay installation fees on top of that and with some boards the mismatch between the board and screen camera/webcam can cause issues such as the camera no longer working. While the corrosion looks bad, this one was definitely on the minimally-damaged scale, with no traces needing to be rebuilt, no wires required, and no shorts needed digging out. It looks nasty, for sure, but with the right tools/cleaning/repairs, it comes up like new again.
Agreed. As a person who relies a lot on lip-reading, it's most frustrating. Not sure where the fault is; I try to resync it in the NLVE but it drifts out. Might have to start explicitly splitting the audio out of the H264 container and applying it as a separate track in the NLVE rather than trying to apply an internal audio offset.
That was one ugly logic board. With so many bad looking components it can not be easy to pick the worst ones. I know if ultra cleaning it before repair most clues would be gone. That fume extractor must save your from both solder fumes and whatever fluids the owners have added to the board. Great work you do 👍🏻
You are getting a *lifetime* license for the pittance he is asking. Having spent the last 20 years working as a network engineer/administrator and have seen a lot of software and what it costs, I would have advised Paul to double or even triple his price as I believe it is way too cheap for the functionality that it provides. If the software increases your productivity then over a short time, hell even a week, it will pay for itself. The rest is then profit for you and add functions as they are added. How is that a little too high?????
@@josephking6515 in the cost of doing business, you target a lot of people to get the money you want, reducing it to get a lot customers is better than to increase it for a specific people .
