  • Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to fix a Google Home, 2x Google Home Mini and an Amazon Echo Plus.
    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.

    Buys product advertised as faulty, somehow receives product that works.
    Vince : =(
    Buys brand new product that arrives faulty.
    Vince : YAAASSSS!!! =D

      I personally asked for a refund. It is not as advertised

      @TheTechChannel 1 pretty sure it was a joke, as he wanted faulty units but got working ones.

    Vince: "OK Google"
    Google: "Your Mic is muted"
    Vince: "🤨"

      @christopherhauck4702 Před 4 lety

      umm you heard me so it must not be muted
      side note the first time it says "your mic is muted" was when he pressed a physical button on the unit

    When you were playing with the google home and it died, then you plugged the cable back in, you forgot to mute "ok google" and guess what sits next to my computer loudspeakers? yep my google home mini! thankfully you didn't ask it anything and I told it "never mind, Vince is trying to control my house again!" ;) Merry Christmas Vince. Enjoy your videos :)

    After fixing those you've actually got yourself a bargain.
    When is your next video on how to fix things around the house. I really enjoyed watching those videos.

    @Metabolis Před 4 lety +1

    Cheers Vince, Merry Christmas to you (although I'm a bit late). I'm sure I'm one of many people that you've inspired to get fixing things about the place that would normally head off to landfill. Appreciate the inspiration!

    Nice to see inside these. The large google home looks like it has one main speaker and the other 2 look like passive subwoofers, i.e not speakers at all just working off the air displacement from the main speaker. Can't be sure of course but I've seen similar in other equipment. Seasons greetings and thank you for all the interesting videos!

    On full volume those google homes cut out when using a low amperage power source. For example, they don’t work on an iPhone charger plug. They require 2a of current.

    Just a small piece of feedback and no disrespect intended, when you were investigating the wiggle on the micro usb it wouldve been useful if you could have compared the movement with the other charcoal google home just to see how different the give was. Also have a fantastic christmas and thanks for another great video!

    @jeffwalker7185 Před 4 lety +1

    I am so glad you did not broadcast the 'Alexa' command (apart from the one right at the end). I often stop watching videos about Amazon Echo because my one reacts. Also with the larger Google device, did you check the other end of the ZIF/ribbon cable at the top of the outer housing to make sure it was not loose?

  • @Vynncent
    @Vynncent Před 4 lety +1

    I think you were pushing the reset button on the white google home when you were picking it up, in addition to the loose cable might make for a great combo

    Pretty sure this will inspire people to buy broken stuff on ebay. It's no doubt a gamble but with stuff like this that is perhaps less user friendly than it should be it's amazing there's actually nothing wrong with it.

    @Zu3sUK Před 4 lety

    It is highly likely with the ribbon cable, had it time again with people that don't know what they are doing and I think your Google home did a hot fix update, didn't you notice that her accent changed from US to UK after the disconnect, unless you changed it manually.
    Anyway Vince, hope you had a great year and Christmas and all the best for 2020 for you and your family.
