Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince. - Jak na to + styl

Hi everyone, thanks for watching my videos. I hope you enjoy this one 👍
Thanks for the great videos mate, and for the work you put in for the community. 🙏
A few tricks to help people never loose smd components like caps and resistors, diodes and other types of smd's that can be done like this.
1) for example never take them off completely (or as rarely as possible) and just solder them or drag them on one of the pads and leave one leg on the pcb not connected. That way they are in their exact position and if you have mutiple caps that are the same size and accidently move the paper you put them on or the mat you work on you're fked 😅 (ask ne how i know)
2) As a general rule, if you have multiple caps shorted near an ic, most of the time (like 80-90%) it is the ic that is shorted
3) As you found out (unfortunately a little too late 😅 ) is that for the best and fastest results, it is always a good practice to isolate the motherboard all by itself meaning to disconnect any connector or any wires coming in or going out. I know, it was soldered but still, that made you go crazy for a minute there (i know i would)
4) When looking for a fault at something that has wires that go to like in you case and in laptops screen connectors for example it is always a good idea to disconnect the wires from both boards and check the continuity of the wires and for shorts between the wires as you did here 👍
5) Careful with thinking a motor is a short. Even if it has low resistance, some motors are designed that was so best way to go about it is to disconnect the motor altogether as you also did. Great job 👍👍
6) When you solder desolder with hot air near connectors like that, to protect any plastic connector flood the connector with flux. The flux will protect it from burning
That's pretty much all that i could relay to the video as small hopefully helpful advice 😁
Again, thanks for the gr8 work you do for the community 🙏🙏
I’m a retired concrete finisher and live in Bakersfield California and your videos are so awesome. Thank you sir 😊
Still thinks its crazy that this could have just gone to a landfill for the sake of .2p
You also need to take into account the time taken to find the fault
Great fix and great glasses :D
Haha, why thank you 😂👌
Nice fix vince. As you said you should of done this thing first and checking this thing first but it's all a learning curve as you go along. After watching your videos I've learnt such a lot. I actually fixed a friend's lg tv that had all three HDMI ports come of the main board and managed to re solder back on and they all work great. My first tv fix.
WOW! Brilliant video Vince! Great job at fault finding and repairing that. I was a bit worried about that connector next to the cap, I'd probably have used the iron or alternatively heated the board from the bottom using the rework station just in case. Well done and keep up the great work. Looks a nice bit of kit too! Best wishes Mick.
What a pickup - and repair!!! Lovely work - that looked really difficult to work on!
A new MMV video just when I needed it, perfect for watching while ironing
What a lovely fix
Cheers Simon 👍
Oh how I cheered when you got the plastic 'opener' out and then carried on with the metal one!
Who else didn't have a clue what it was until Vince showed it working at the end!
@Benny-Boo72 👍👍👍
This made a hunt for sure. Almost landfill for one tiny tiny cap. Really nice.
I love your intro to your episode sponsor. Thank you for making it fun!
Always thoroughly enjoy your videos. And especially loved the use of the thermal camera. I bought some thermal sensors and am now encouraged to build my own thermal camera. Kudos my friend, hindsight is a PITA, but it helps us learn.
Good job. If you get a roll of heat tape (clear brown color) you can place it over sensitive components before using the hot air and it will help protect them from the heat (it's what they do when wave soldering in factories). Comes in may widths.
Nice fault-finding and a satisfying fix, Vince. The gimbal looks like a nice bit of kit, too, and something I think you'll find plenty of uses for (personally I'm hoping to see it being stuck into the Rolls-Royce's engine bay at some point to keep a component in focus 😁).
Great video and thank you for the details. Could you share with us how long did the entire troubleshooting take? Thank you!
I'm no techie, in fact I can wire a plug, and that's about it. I don't understand much of what you do, and even less about what you're talking about or say - not because you don't speak sense, but because I'm too dumb to take it in and understand! But despite this, I love watching your videos, and your powers of deduction are sublime. It's a treat to watch. And if I was ever in a plane where the pilot has had a heart attack, and we're hurtling towards a bit of a sticky ending, if you was on board too, I'd happily sit back and have a doze, as I just know you'd figure it all out in time before we scratch the paintwork on the undercarriage. Cheers Vince.
My mind goes crazy watching how you have so much patience.
Your videos are amazing.
Thank you and keep up the good work
Great work Vince! Imagine all of the devices that occupy landfills because of one faulty capacitor.
Just yesterday, I broke my steadicam, and this telescopic tripod flew out due to the impact. I hope I can manage to put it back and solder the wires. Thanks for the video!
Awesome repair. You really do not give up easily.
Now I want one. What a neat device.
Vince, this was a delight to watch. You have come such a long way.
What a great bit of kit. Well worth the effort you put in to fix it. Nice one Vince.💯
Great fix, I felt your joy
Gunna open mine up today!!! Great video
Great fix Vince, well worth the time and effort, all because of a MLC, I can see vlogs coming 😊
I was screaming at the screen "the cap is cracked, the cap is cracked" lol soo frustrating ;)
Excellent fix Vince very good fault finding by elimination 👍
Who scripts and directs you increasingly interesting PCBWay skits? lol love them, makes them more interesting to watch too! 🤣
New to the channel, not sure if there is one already, but I would love to see a shop tour or a recommended tool video. Or point me in the right direction if you ever made something like this already. I love repairing stuff but also love tools 😇
V-Man. You are a Master of all things InTeREsTiNg.... Live long & prosper. Cheers from So.Calif.USA, 3rd House on the Right.
always a fan of your work...have you ever considered getting your son involved in some of your repairs or at least showing him the basics...its a great talent to catch at a young age.....much respect my man
Great fix Vince
Those are very nice products for smartphones! Thanks for the video showing how to get it open and the repair. Glad it was that simple a repair (not getting to the capacitor, though) and you were able to use the FLIR cam to diagnose the problem.
Nice work Vince, with a very wise thinking to track the problem, appreciate..
A while back my daughter bought a DJI similar to this, when we got it all it would do is whiz the phone round in circles.
We did everything the instructions stated, but no go.
DJI help line was useless the thing just did not work.
Their was so many CZcams videos asking for help for the same fault.
We just sent it back to Amazon for a refund and bought a cheaper chinese gimbal from Ali Express, this one still works flawlessly.
Even the working OSMO's had so many videos complaining about erratic stabilisation.
Well done Vince.
Awesome fix! IR-camera to the rescue!
Cheers Devvty 👍
Loved this one. Great voice as well
This gadget could be very useful in shooting of Rolls Royce car restoration videos.
Very very good you have the patience of a saint vince
Wow thanks for that, one of my favourites, Do think of you when i see an old Rolls Royce round Chelsea, if you had a discord setup we could post pics of the lights and stuff so you can compare it with yours :) to get your lines perfect
that was awesome, also seems to be the first thing from DJI thats worth the money. 😆
Noice one Vince!!! Now you can make even more professional video production 😀 I was a bit scared that you've melted the small switch, but it seemd to work fine. You need to get some kapton tape for sure and protect the plastic things from the hot air.
What an amazing fix. This would have been thrown away for a small capacitor getting faulty...
18:25 - Hello, for this case very simple 4wire/Kelvin probe would help you a lot. LM317 and 5V from USB. You would pinpoint to shorted device without unsoldering chip and components. Tutorial how to make this is on YT. Easy to make and very helpful.
Well done, Vince. Great work.
You don't half complicate things, always start with the simple stuff
when you get the magnetic clamps down load the DJI app. update software then calibrate it with the tripod mount if you have it if not get one it's helps so much in calibration. these are amazing bits of kit esp when walking and video everything stable plus the follow me function which is awesome my Mrs loves her last year's Christmas present. how I'm going to top that is a mystery 😉💪👍👊👌🤞
A massive thumbs up is the least I can give to this video. Really nice work, I bet it was quite a lot of time put into this fault. But the outcome is the best part. 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
Great fix, and a great device. Thanks for your channel.
Phillips head screws...
Great fix!
Thank you Garth 👍
Really would of liked you to record some footage with the device see how smoothly it worked
Great find.
That was a nice fix!
Thanks Karthor 👌
Nice save Vince
As always a thoroughly entertaining and informative video…. Love it!!
loved the air fryer fix to :D
If you solder sewing pins to the multimeter probes you can measure easier smaller components without having to buy precision tips. 😉
You need to learn to read the temperature reading on the FLIR camera. It said 31 Deg where it was white, which is why your finger showed up the whitest when you put it in the picture.
35:29 This melody or sound, Im doing this from my childhood and idk why, I dont even live in UK and Ive seen other people do it.
I found the source of the music: Let's Go - The Ventures
I wonder why do we use that rythm or where did we heard it.
Nice fix mate!
Great item & fix there Vince - nice 1
Cheers mate, thy for the brill entertainment.
Tenacious out of ten.
Love the videos but I do wish you would use plastic trim tools. You would not damage the plastic as much then
We’ll say thanks to that bloke called Percy Verance.
Im still half way through, but an issue/suggestion occurs to me. This device is using an 8.9v battery, and a USB c to charge, so likely it is using USB Power Delivery (PD) to get the power source (the usb power bank here) to provide said 9v. This may not be the case here specifically, but it is good to check if your power bank supports this and which voltages it supports so you can better use it to test similar devices.
Just got to 25:00 and evidently this one doesnt do it, and accepts 5v, but good to be aware with devices like this
awsome video vince mate
Thanks George 👍
Happy Halloween Vince 💚
Amazing one!! :D
i bet that's gonna get some use now m8,i already envisage movie level footage 🤣
Thanks for yet another great video. Is your PO Box still active, and if it is, what size is it?
Best regards
Frank
Hi, what Soldering Station are you using ?
nice one 👍👍👍👍
I'd use some kapton tape if I was worried about melting a plastic connector.
Well done Vince, another awesome fix. Are you aware of the fact that this video is probably the one where you were clearly the most excited and and almost child like regarding the quality and specifications of the gadget you just fixed. it was very cute hearing how chuffed your were about it's functionality, I did chuckle. Nice product though, pretty slick when you think about it. Great work fella 🙂
Oh awesome! But I'm not in the mood for a shite scam today. Thanks anyway
good one vinc
Well Done
I'm in the process of inventing a screw head that no-one has ever, ever seen. Then I'm gonna make £millions & £millions on a screwdriver bit, manufactured in China, that everyone will HAVE to buy.
We need more intelligent dudes on youtube.
Is it a RR video setup? Great fix
Hi Vince, i just want to tell you that yours "My EBay Shop" button on your webpage do not work
My-Enjoyed- very beautiful , goodnight, 💥
Hi my dji osmo mobile 6 got some water damage and it burned the ribbon cable the one with awm 20861 written on it, i really tried to find the ribbon cable for it but had no luck, can you help me find one, thanks in advance
I have the same device and I am experiencing another problem, it happens that from one moment to the next the motors stopped working and when I turn it on only the battery icon appears
One of the best ones yet. gg
This might actually be great for rolls royce vids.
Vince! Do you do mail in repairs for people? I got a poco x3 nfc with an issue where if its under 80 percent battery it will bootloop or if under load at 100 percent battery. The only way to stop it from bootlooping is plugging it in. Ive changed the battery twice and also the charging port plus the flex cable and the issue remains. Ive also reflashed the android system. The issue is leading me into beleiveing its a short somewhere. Thanks
why did you have the red lead on the negative terminal, surely you should have had the black lead on the negative terminal
It doesn't matter which way round you have it if you're just testing continuity.
love the . beep beep .. beep beep beep.. beep beep etc . oh yes a capacitor 👌😉💪👍👊
I want one it’s such a cool gadget
@mymatevince
Hallo Vince,
if got a xbox series x mini fridge that dead😢. There are some psu probleme could you try to fix it
hi vince hope your all good can i buy 2 rr mugs please if you got any left
Sorry I don't have any. Really sorry about that 👍

35:32 👏👏
Noticing those wires must have been installed by someone with colour blindness, red was on R, pale green was on B, green was on W and blue was on G O.o
