Many years ago I was also skeptic about the K-Type (knife edge) solder tips a...but after some practice they have become my Favorite for qfp soldering or any other external pins. .. they are very very good specially at removing bridges. One has to simply practice and develop the technique. Good soldering iron tho.

Whenever I get soldering tips for my KSER iron I calibrate the new tips. Maybe it is me being anal but I have had tips which had huge overshoots temperature wise so much so that the seller replaced the new tip.

Need to keep the tip clean and tinned. You can loose 25degF to that heavy oxide layer that forms. With a fresh tinned tip, keep a drop of liquid solder on the tip to transfer heat into component. It’s easily seen with thermal imaging. Also, those tips don’t have enough thermal mass to do any significant desoldering.

Well. Just power the board (not: the scope) through an isolation transformer and you can hook your scope up where you want as there's no current path existing through the scope then. Also, that makes touching things on the board safer (like heatsinks).

Yes indeed. What I like about this iron: 1. Comes with a cap. 2. Clear screen. 3. very nice cable. 4 Enough thermal mass to cope with ground plane (de)soldering. 5. 3 buttons instead of the usual 2, which makes for a more convenient UI. What I don't like: 1. No grounding point. 2. Not compatible with the JBC-245 tips. I chose a Sequre S60P instead, because it's compatible with JBC-210 tips and has a grounding point. I may eventually buy a Sequre S99 or a similar iron that takes JBC-245 tips, because they have better thermal mass than the 210 tips and the range of available JBC 245-tips is huge.

I'm retired but I spent many years in electronic repair from before hot-air workstations were even a thing through the introduction of leadless, Small outline, and other component miniaturization. But I still learned a lot of great ideas in this video. Even as an expert, having done this kind of work for many years, in retirement I have thrown away a lot of electronics that could have been fixed. So, along with desoldering tips, what I learned most from this video is perseverance and thinking a problem through, and to not let it whip you. As I set up now as a hobbyist, I hope I can be as determined as you are in this video and don't take failure as an option.

I 'm old school and still using an analogue scope, but of course this problem is still an issue. I also use an old school method to to prevent shocks and damage to equipment. An Isolation transformer. A 1:1 ratio mains transformer with the ground removed from the output side. You plug the DUT into the isolated output and you can now connect your scope safely as there is no path back to earth via the neutral of the DUT.

The bandwidth rating of a scope isn't the max frequency it can measure. Waveforms are made up of components of different frequencies put together. Square waves are very high bandwidth, for example, as they are constructed from a basically infinite amount of sinusoids. So a 100MHz scope may only be able to accurately recreate a 10MHz square wave.

According to U.S.National Electrical code, All circuits must have ground as part of the circuit. This is done usually by tying one of the current carrying conductors to ground, the white neutral wire. Your mains neutral wire is tied to ground in the breaker box. Most countries use the U.S.National Electrical code, some with slight modification.

One thing to note if you are working with mains is that some of the cheap digi scopes only have a 25V maximum signal input. Using a 10x probe will work to 250V *but* the probe must be 250V rated ... Old CRTs could have input channels that would deal with 500V so it wasn't so much of an issue.

Holding your probe near the transformer shows it’s working. How does it help you when the power supply isn’t working? No point in troubleshooting a working psu. I only ask because I have a ucc2800 that will not start switching for anything. This psu has thrown me for a real loop.
@LearnElectronicsRepair
@LearnElectronicsRepair 2 күн бұрын
It helps you narrow down the fault because you know if the switching IC/Mosfet is running or not. Regards your UCC2800 based power supply. I would start by looking what is happening on Vcc (pin 7) most likely this IC uses one or more high value resistors in series which connect from HT+ ~320V from the main smoothing capacitor and these charge an electrolytic capacitor connected from pin 7 to hot ground. There could be a zener diode here too. This gives the initial voltage supply to start the UCC2800 oscillating. Then there will be an auxiliary secondary winding on the SMPS transformer which generates the voltage to keep the UCC2800 running. This will be on the high voltage side of the power supply and connect via a diode and possibly a resistor back to the electrolytic capacitor on pin 7 UCC2800. If the staryt up high value resistors are open circuit the UCC2800 can't start. If it starts but the aux supply does not come up due to some fault condition , or the electrolytic capacitor/zener diode on pin 7 is faulty, the voltage on pin 7 will drop quickly and it will stop running. Depending on the type of IC it will then either shut down until you remove mains power and reapply it, or it will continually try to start sometimes making a chirping sound. I hope that helps

Actually I have a 240V:240V 2KVA Isolation transformer that powers any device I'm working on. This way I can connect any grounded test equipment to it wherever I like including on hot ground, but I didn't mention this in the video. All my test equipment is ground isolated because it is either hand held or powered from a wall wart or USB-C type power supply, apart from my Analog scope, my PC which I sometimes use as an audio source and my Rigol scope. My bench power supplies are also ground isolated (though I can set them to grounded if I so wish)

@LearnElectronicsRepair ,,, the problem is, didn't have you a two isolated transformer. Leak currents from the PLC could destroy the device being repaired (experience 😭). But, I don't think this is the case with the subwoofer. Perhaps the error lies in the supply voltage of the AD-DA converter or possibly in the PWM stage. Unbalanced sine at the output without load / input signal. Maybe i'am wrong too, 😔
