Fixing Edifier W830BT Headband to Earpiece Connection.
This is my fix for a Edifer W830BT headband which has broken from the earpiece. The cause of the break is a piece of plastic that usually holds the headband in place, breaks and then the headband slips out of the earpiece connection.
I used a 3/16 e-clip, a 1.5 mm hex key, a flat blade, and a number 1 Philips.
I take the long way to fix this, as you can technically just unscrew the piece near the ear and pry it apart and slip in an e-clip and some adhesive and hope that fixes it, but the video shows a longer way about things that should give you enough space if you need it.
So far it's worked for a couple of days, I'm not planning on running or sleeping in them, but the e-clip has held just fine for me. Likely if I had a set of GOOD snap-ring pliers a cir clip or snap ring would do just as well if not better than the e-clip.
-It's been a month, ear phones still work with the e-clip great. Still not treating them like they are rock solid, but I have not babied them either. E-clip is a solid fix.
-Edit Oct/18/21 earphones still work fine, not so babied anymore. Fix is super solid for me. Would say as solid as new unless you just smash your earphones into things on the regular. Or unless you've broken the plastic stalk entirely.
-Edit March/14/23 fix is still fine, I don't baby them anymore, but I've also since needed to replace the USB port.
Also if you need to replace the micro-usb port, the left most pin looking top down onto the mother board is the power pin, the rest are ground. So as long as you have the left most pin and trace, you can replace it. Otherwise you need to run a bodge wire to the capacitor. Use a hot air rework station to remove it, with Kapton tape to hold down the small capacitors.

Wire Pin Reuse

This is just a quick video on how to reuse wire pins, in case you accidentally pulled the wires out of a harness. Long and short is use a set of sewing pins to carefully and slowly pry open the wire holder, then do the same thing to open up the wire jacket holder. Go slow, be patient, don't prick your fingers. You can also use dental picks/o-ring picks if you have them. Or anything small and po...

Thanks for this video!
I have a Mionix Castor, and the mechanism inside was similar enough that this video was a huge help! It kept double clicking, and after a little cleanup, it works like new! :D Massive thanks! <3
Awesome!
So thankful that you were willing to give up your time to show us and explain the inside. After a thorough cleaning and replacing the element works like new. Also thanks for showing how to check the element.
I have this exact model! Had foot reconstruction surgery and am on a scooter. Didn't realize my Ortho boot foot was caught up in the foot pedal cord and when I backed the scooter up it pulled the machine down onto the floor😭💔 The bobbin winder is bent, ☹️as well as a part when you open the machine cover. Any advice?
If it's bent, usually you can bend it back. I'd use either a crescent wrench or pliers. Unfortunately if you can't, finding spare parts is usually much harder then getting a thrifted/used machine elsewhere. And costs about the same.
awesome thanks a lot, you saved me $35 from not having to buy a new connector 👍🏼
If you paused this dryer, did it restart the timer?
Sorry no idea, I don't remember that being a thing I had issue with at the time.
Where can I find one like that I need one
I grabbed it out of a pick and pull / junkyard.
hi thank you for the video. what size do u use for the e clip?
3/16.
@@Crasoum thanks
My husband changed the water pump on mine but now it wont start it acts like it wants to though... any idea why?
Ton of reasons, first guess is a vacuum hose isn't connected somewhere. Or an electrical connector isn't fully seated. Any error codes that could be read? Otherwise a second checking of bits and bobs might find the issue.
Nice teardown video. I bought even older Baush Lomb mcw552 from craigslist. Looks like it was originally used at Hughes aircraft as it still has Hughes property label. collimation was quite a bit off, and this microscope is not assembled like standard stereo microscope, so getting into it can be a bit challenging.
Very helpful but my biggest pain is removing the harness mounted on the drivers side. Watched 3 videos and no one showed that part.
hey, I've menage to make to the hex screw, but they way too tight, any tips on how to loose them?
They are in plastic so you just need to go counter clockwise.
If you read toyota tsb-0041-13 (for vvti rattle issue) it tells you to apply a light coat of engine oil to the 3 new gaskets when you install them (the vvti o-rings and oil hole gasket) No mention of using rtv or anything else. The tsb also states 9 ft pounds for the valve cover bolts and shows the correct pattern to tighten them down.
good job bro
Thank you for putting out this video. It was very helpful to me, I'm not doing anything like this since I don't owe a Saturn but, I love doing mechanic work on any car.
Such a pain to access this one part but it did the trick for me. Also gave me a chance to vacuum up 13 years of lint and dust 😂 Thanks for sharing!
they tried to fix it and could not so they sold it to you busted. It happened to me also off Ebay. Did not know it was trashed till months later when i finally sourced a b and l stand. so too late to get a refund
Yea probably but it wasn't an ebay auction, but one similar. I can't remember which now, either hibid or similar. But regardless I doubt the auctioneer knew, the factory it was auctioned from probably did though.
Thank you so much for video, did the job, went great, your instructions were clear and easy to follow, great job 😀😀😀

I'm assuming the dryer would not run with the lint filter light blinking 🤔
It can, but if the difference in it's reading from multiple probes is too high then it stops from what I recall. If it's all working holding the stop/start button for 7 seconds can reset things, but if you have a fault somewhere you'll need to figure out where and repair/replace.
Excellent video, sir - I have the very same mouse and was having the very same problem with the scroll wheel (sometimes nothing, sometimes the WRONG way, sometimes "bounceback"). Opened mine up and it was certainly disgusting, but there was a chunk of hair wrapped around the wheel axle on the right hand side - pulled it out with tweezers, cleaned the bushing with iso, job done. In fact, I didn't even disconnect it from the PC😁 Even my button clicks are snappier.
Thank you for this. I just picked up my set used, and I am thinking this is why the previous owners got rid of them. It will trigger "Lint Filter" on its first use of the day, but no subsequent uses. I did notice a lot of lint in the exhaust tube, so I'm happy to look into mine further.
Hello friend I want to know if I could change the 4 o ring seals without opening the valve cover ? because I just have some oil on the spark plugs and I dont have any problems with my gasket plz help thank u
I need a Saturn ion ting belt replacement
Rock auto is your best bet, or any local auto parts store.
Is it the same for the 2012 venza? 2.7
Yea, should be the same, if not really close. From what I understand the difference is piston stroke.
@@Crasoum okay thank you this car has some salt from up north the coil plug wires connector they seem brittle if they crack can I still plug them.back in? If anything will it make connection ?
@@moetic6601 I'm going to say it's probably due for plugs, and if you don't go that route you'll have worse fuel efficiency or misfiring if you are unlucky. If you're lucky then yea it'd be fine. The plastic clips I am careful wit on older stuff but if they break, then you need to visit a junkyard for the connectors, or sometimes I guess Dorman has them. Use a flat blade screwdriver and some pliers to remove them, and you should be ok.
I have a ton of lint sitting just under the removable lint trap. Do you know how to open up the lint trap area to clean that out? A video would be great too. Thanks
Thanks for the pointers! Also, thanks for adding a link to Nthefastlane's video.
Sure thing, good luck!
Hey hoss, just a big thank you for this and the install videos. I've got an 03 with 480k miles on it. Pumps dropping out coolant by bout half a bottle a day. I was all but ready to send it in to the mechanic for $2.5k of labor charges or more, this saves me big time. I ain't got 3k to my name at the moment, but $100 for a new pump I can definitely do. The gasket is unavailable so i'm gonna have to cut my own, but otherwise this video is exactly what I needed to be confident in doin it myself. Thank you for takin the time to make a video on this. I've done minor stuff to my car but nothing this in depth and knowing there's some experience in video out there is a big relief. Lotta stuff for the 4 banger one but not much out there on these. With any luck, I'll be toasting to your video's help tomorrow evenin.
Sure thing, hardest thing was knocking it out, the rest is just going in reverse.
Just did this on my W860NB. Thanks!
Thanks!!
No volume
thanks i just fixed mine, it helped me a lot God bless you. Greetings from Brazil
Glad to hear! Hopefully they last you a while longer!
Mine has one ear dropped after 3 years. Will try this and get back :D
Sounds good, I still use the earphones to this day and they work great. Had to buy new ear foam pieces, but the e-clip is still holding strong.
Just replaced few of them now I have one with Sanyou sla-s-112dmj-f-30. It does not say 12vdc or 24vdc. Wondering if they are interchangeable with omron gb8-1a4pacd or tyco t9as1d12-12
Looks like it should be compatible glancing at www.sanyourelay.ca/public/products/pdf/SLA.pdf
What if you press the start button, the relay clicks but the drum doesn't turn? The door switch seems to work because the dryer light goes out when you close the door. The red button did nothing.
I'd say check the motor for continuity, should read 4-16 ohms, and if it doesn't then it's done for. This is off the top of my head, so the numbers are approximate, but 0 means short, and anything in the thousands or more means corrosion/too much resistance.
Hey I have 2 questions. 1) There are two sets of springs 2 small ones and 2 large ones. are the small ones on the right side of the scope if you are looking at like you have in the video? 2) Which way do the springs face when going into the yoke cams? Is the spring going into the metal slit? or is the tip of the hook going into the metal slit? Thanks!
i have a saturn LS2 i inherited when my grandmother passed and their is a loud knocking/tapping in this area, does that sound like something a water pump would do? if i did decide to do it myself what other things should i replace at the same time because i know with older toyota's when doingf the timing belt we rec a water pump bing that its in the same area
It could be any number of things, tapping or knocking inside the engine could be the valves, outside the engine it could be loose bolts, or any bearing. Kinda need to figure out where the sound is coming from. But yes, it is smart to do both the pump and timing belt at the same time on this engine.
Don't know how to get the pads underneath off without probably crunching them, but my problem lies with the scroll wheel... I'll probably dismantle it some other day. This video helps though, since the 7000 is basically just like the 3200.
You can use a hair dryer to warm up the adhesive and a guitar pick to slide under the pad if you want to preserve it and don't have a ifixit kit.
@@Crasoum I see, thanks! I'll see what I can do tomorrow then.
I am preparing to do this job myself and I have the main gasket and the four spark plug tube O-rings, what are the other little gaskets called? Thank you!
VVT Solenoid probably.
VVT solenoid gaskets(2) and oil control O ring(1)
Would this carpet removal process work for a Chevy Venture ?
Yep it'd be very similar, and I'd be surprised if the same sizes were not used. But that's a guess and not guarantee.

How did you get the wiring harness off the stud on the right side Outside looking in It’s very tight and I don’t see how to release it
Use #6 reverse torx E socket and remove studs
Guy don't put silicone gaskets on top of oem gaskets , use the oem gasket only, trust that it'll do its job and replace at reasonable miles , 30k - 50k
I think he put spark tube seals upside down
Correction , those black OEM tube gaskets do indeed go in through the top side . I used 24 socket after lubing to get out , push in with fingers after a freezing and silicone grease and final seating with light taps using 30 mm socket. FYI THIS is way different than 2AZ FE videos
I'm having problem with the scroll wheel, it's not scrolling precisely. Do you have a solution?
thank you so much, i use the credit card trick too!
