Gutted! My HTi80P Thermal Cam stopped working and won't power on at all!
Let's open it up and see if we can work out the problem and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!

Sad to think of all the good electronics that get thrown out every year from an equally small bit faulty. But as with all machinery...when they have issues the repair is often a simple matter but it's the FINDING of the issue that is the real bugger. Well done Steve!

@whompronnie 9 месяцев назад

Reminds me of an old IT legend I heard Big company has a fault in their giant mainframe computer. They call in an IT guy Guy walks in, looks around for a second, finds a component and puts a big chalk X mark on it The company then receives a bill from the IT guy. $40,000 "This is outrageous," the company says. "We demand that you itemize this bill." They receive an itemized bill: Piece of chalk: $1 Knowing where to draw the X: $39,999

@RadimentriX 9 месяцев назад

problem with thoe "easy" repairs is, that you have to have the right parts lying around or you'll be waiting for them till they arrive. if you need the device NOW and can't wait days or even weeks, then that sucks. once you have those parts lying around, like Steve, it's always better to fix it yourself, if you have the talent. soldering irons are cheap, not sure about that heat-blower-thingy though

@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co 9 месяцев назад

Talent, knowledge, ability (try doing that with a tremor), equipment, etc.

@JVerschueren 9 месяцев назад

Difficulties leading up to 10:45... pro-tip: toothpick instead of tweezers. It's made out of wood, so it doesn't conduct, nor wick away heat. Much easier to hold a surface mount component with. Also: hot air for desoldering only on such light components. Just put a little blob of solder onto your soldering iron, hold the component down on the wicked pads with the toothpick and stick it down. Then come back with the flux to tidy it up.

@nitrgnlab9400 9 месяцев назад

Pro tip - just use a soldering iron for soldering these. There is absolutely no need to use a hot air gun

@gordonp6353 9 месяцев назад

I winced watching the use of hot air, I spent years repairing camcorders and my use of hot air was minimal, no need on discrete components, removing or replacement, C53 had too much solder on, doesn't need big blobs, solder should curve down I also used kapton tape to shield delicate parts not aluminium tape.

@devilmaycry57 9 месяцев назад

I have a request, and I hope it isn't taken in a bad way. The initial teardown used to be one of my favorites, for one reason: it's informative. If someone has a broken item, and need to find out to dismantle it, that section is amazing. With the patreon rap a lot is now cut off or filled with music someone may not want to hear. SO, here's my suggestion. Either at the end of the video, or even another channel, maybe have just that portion with your voiceover as you find those hidden screws and tabs and such so people can use your videos to help! Or I'm just out of my element, and feel free to ignore me.

You have nice flux, solder and tips, so use them. After wicking the solder off, touch one pad of each component and use this pad to mount your component on the board. Once satisfied with the orientation, solder the other pads

@SMAAAASHTV 9 месяцев назад

Nice job. I gotta agree with some of the other comments, and I'm sure you already know, but resoldering the components with the iron instead of hot air is best, since you won't be needlessly heating up surrounding components and won't have to worry about your airflow being to high to send the components flying.

@johnavery15 6 месяцев назад

Love, love the channel. When heating up the solder for component removal or insertion do you hold the ends where the solder is? Surely, that is dissipating heat? I would be holding the component down by pushing down on said component. Also, you never tin the soldering iron tip before trying to solder? I think the flux in the solder helps heat transfer making a quicker, better joint. Just observations, not criticisms!!!

@Backcountry_Bodger 9 месяцев назад

Hi, next time using the ally tape try sticking it onto the board but leave an air gap between the part you are trying to protect and the tape itself, that way will conduct less heat to the parts ya wanna save from cremating if that makes sense? And I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps blowing the bits off with the hot air lol 😅 nice repair and thanks for sharing.

@Transporter2084 9 месяцев назад

I used to make smd prototypes many years ago, the heat process of melting solder/solder paste will damage components if you spend too long blowing over them with a heat gun. Back in my day we would have removed the cap and sot23 with tweezers and an iron, wicked the pads, put a small dot of solder on one pad and then put the new components on with tweezers and not a gun. Hot air guns were for plc’s, qft’s etc and even then we had to place the device by hand within 10 seconds or consider the component cooked.

Move the component over a pad so one side is still soldered and its out of the circuit so you can test it and it will not fly away. Much like when you lift a leg on a diode to take it out of the circuit to test
