mine is the old mercury Honeywell kind and the cleaner/repair guy got it working just by blowing on it. this is the next season with the temperature going down to Winter levels and it's intermittently working again - I blow on it and it will work but it probably needs a good cleaning. I'll try to brush some of the dust off gently and buy a new one to have on hand. Many thanks for the video - 'these things have to be done very delicately - or else you break the spell!'

Thank you for the handy instructions. It helped.

it's actually amazing that this channel is still alive

I was curious why the toaster plug is double clipped, did you have to do that? Good video!

Looks like you as all reviewers just reading PDF file from producer and kissing *ss to big producers to get a free meter and not working in field at all. So lame!!!

Bro has definitely seen someone plugging a vacuum in that thing.

Good way to keep so much discarded items out of landfills. Sometimes it’s just a simple fix like this that can breathe life back into an electronic device that’s old but still quite functional.

I have the same fridge. Do you have the part number and where to order from?

Just put clock oil on form gear not spray wrong oil cuz it will be harden

As he will destroy everything he touches. It is the Libertarian way.

he's so gentle that it's amazing to see him touching it at all.

Thank you 😊

do not over tighten screw's

large screw on hold down, smaller screw goes on screen hold down.

Yes, the first attempt (test fixes should proceed from easiest to harder, usually in terms of how much disassembly is required) is reseating batteries and if necessary replacing batteries typically with non rechargeables to test then fully charged rechargebles to redeploy if the previous made the display work. Once inside and noting the wire harness was where you pressed and achieved contact and also noting those protruding screws, I would have tightened those screws down to see if that produced a fix, if not then digging deeper into the mechanisms as you immediately proceeded (of course you did that to provide a complete tutorial. For success: carefully note and remember the step by step disassembly process, so you can reverse that at reassembly time, and keep friendly cat off the work table and keep windows closed to prevent wafty winds at bay. Of interest is most people would consider this device to be electronic, but note all the purely physical components - fasteners and conductive pressure fit contacts as functional parts not just casing or encapsulating the machine - hence my use of 'mechanism' (though it's no where near being a mechanical clocklike device where powering is via springs (compression release), pendulum (gravity), user presses, turnings and crankings).

Thx

So awesome! Thank you!

“Don’t scratch the circuit board”. Then he scratches it!

Those enelopp batteries are rechargeable and only 1.2 volts each,

Magnificent

Thank you so much! Had the same exact mechanism, same exact problem on an old baby crib mobile. Fixed!!!!!! I will tell my son it took hours.

I really like your personality vacuum cleaner now that was funny. Thats great up put that showed that everyone will not know it. 100 percent get a generator if you need to run a electric heate.r

Pro tip: use a white Staedler eraser to thoroughly clean the gold fingers contact. If any residue gently blow on it.

Phenomenal

For the price on much of those type of electronics, people just throw them out and get a new one. We live in a throw away society today. I have fixed so many upright vacuum cleaners that just needed a new belt and a good cleaning. It is good to see someone fixing something that can be fixed. I usually give it a try, if I cannot fix it, it goes in the junk.

Would this work with a dimmer switch?

Do you know how to take the drum apart and put them back together?

I have the same problem with my multi tester display, i was clean like yours tips but nothing happen 😢, what should i do next

Часам 12 лет, сильно!

Great project I want to make it as well for my capstone project

Thanks! The bottom row of units of my clock have a dark cast masking them in parts. Untill I get the time to deal with it, I can read the figures using a torch. I have done this before and hope I can reclaim my clock! Another clock came back to life all on its own!

Bravo Zulu.

I didnt get lots of ads

That strip is called a Zebra Strip.

Thank you!! I had the same issue and saw we had the same mechanism and brand and the minute I flipped the plastic it worked!! Thank you!

Thank you! You helped me fix a small timer for my kids!

My alarm clock has recently started missing segments in the numbers. Taking it apart revealed that it uses a plastic tape connection, not a zebra pad. So I thought directly heating up the LCD panel may help fix it. So whilst still apart I heated up the LCD panel with a fan heater on high for around 5-10 minutes whilst intermittently lightly massaging the panel. I had batteries in it at the same time so I could see any changes. And to my surprise it worked! all the missing bits came back. So if your device uses a plastic tape connection try blasting the LCD directly with a high heat.

Thanks for explaining things so clearly and patiently.

Can home dry cleaner used to clean the contacts or it's only alcohol

Thank you :) This helped me repair a beautiful music box.

watch the video in 3x , thank me later

You should go back to bed and sleep.

Thank you! Our 80 lb dogs keep moving every slip cover we buy. This is such a great idea.

Hidanthetechnologyman & Everyone i have a washing machine with faded and missing lettering on my washing machine digital control panel, PCB i think it's called, can someone please help me so the letters & numbers are visible again, I think it has ribbon connectors, would cleaning thé connectors make letters & numbers visible again, thankyou in advance. Great video thankyou.

Now I know how they work, I won't thow the next one away - I will clean it!!

This music was not a good choice and not only because it’s too loud.

Most owners tend to break the hairline spring due to handling. Otherwise it's quite easy to service the clock.
