HI Nick, I have Yamaha RX-V485. I am facing a issue where Receiver doesn't connect to the router in the 'wired' mode. It does connect in the 'wireless' mode perfectly - no issues there. I have checked for the faulty cable and the router ports. Both seem OK as other devices when connected there work Okay. Any suggestion what could be the issue? Thank you.

Thank you very much for the video that I recently discovered a few days ago. I currently have 3 DS1815+ in the closet which possibly suffer from the same disease, and by replacing the Q4 transistor, the C37 capacitor flew away too. Given its size, it's impossible to find it. Can DS1815+ work without it? If not, does anyone know its specs?
@NicksElectronicRepair
@NicksElectronicRepair Сағат бұрын
I can't say I have had to replace C37 before. Is it right next to the Q4 transistor? PS for Q4 to work for a long time and not fail again you also need to replace the resistor on the power supply daughter board as shown in the video. That one is much smaller than the capacitor that flew away. Next time I open up a DS1815 I will take a look at it's capacitance and let you know it's specs.

7:12 Do you use lead-free solder to increase the melting temp for heating devices?
@NicksElectronicRepair
@NicksElectronicRepair 18 күн бұрын
No, we use leaded as it will have a stronger bond between the component and PCB and be less likely to crack or fail over time. The issue is not that the component gets hot. The temperatures don't get above 80C near the components, the issue is the thermal cycles and difference in temperature between the unit being off and on. So if this oven was operating between absolute 0 and 0 Celsius aka freezing, you would still get cracked solder joints. The problem is the thermal expansion and contraction between the low temp when the unit is off and the high temp when the unit is on. The molecules of the PCB expand and contract at different rates than the solder and the leg of the component. This different rate of expansion and contraction is what stresses the joints and over time causes the cracks. The bigger the difference between the lowest and highest temp the more expansion and contraction you get and thus the more likely you are to get a cracked joint. This is why the items that get the hotter get the more cracked joints because the off state of the oven brings all components to the same temp aka room temp and the parts that get the hottest get the highest amount of expansion and contraction stress. Does that make sense?

I'm dealing with a Frigidaire FGIH3047VFB range that is about two years old. The entire right side of the control panel went out. Can't even get one burner control to do anything and the other one (rear) will turn on, but can't set + or -, so no heat. This is the side of the stove i use the most (long, multi hour boiling water type things going, cooking legumes and such). I figured the heat destroyed something. Was quoted $350 for a replacement part, but hoping to avoid that. Do you have any experience with this model?

This is the induction one correct? I have not had to repair one of these before as it is still very new and thus has not had many failures yet. But if the failure occurs again, and flipping the breaker doesn't resolve it I would recommend looking in the owners manual to factory reset it and if that till doesn't work, then reach out to us again. Would most likely need to have you send in that control panel for repair.

@NicksElectronicRepair
@NicksElectronicRepair 22 күн бұрын
Do not attempt this repair at home, we are professionals with almost 30,000 repairs under our belt. We have a lot of experience and while we make it look easy, there is a lot more going on than what you see on screen. Temps are not a one-size-fits-all-all. It would be a bad idea for you to use the same temps we do. Either the temps will be too low and nothing will flow for you or worse the temps might be too high and you will break the device you are trying to fix. You have to fine-tune your own machine and find the sweet spot. Use broken circuit boards that are low value or trash that you don't care about to fine-tune the temp settings. You should not be experimenting and learning how to properly rework a flip chip using this ECM. Once you are confident in your temperatures and can get good results repeatedly on a bad board, then you can start working on a good board you are trying to fix. Again I would recommend you become proficient on low-cost boards, not this ECM.

Well if you do want to send it in for repair, we offer a full refurbishment service. We would replace several parts including parts that have not yet failed and do modify the power supply as well to help prevent future failures from happening as well. Your DS1815+ unit could have many more years of service if you have us refurbish it and of course we give a 1 Year warranty with all of our repairs. This would be much much cheaper than buying a new or used unit. If you are interested I have the link to our flat rate service below: nickselectronics.com/products/ds1815

The unit sits on the front yes but it's well isolated from the oven so it shouldn't get to much heat from it. Most of the heat I believe is due from the power going through it that it generates itself. And yes thermal expansion and contraction from heat cycles is the cause of these issues.

Trial and error otherwise known as experience It's really hard to identify a fauty solder joint below a processor because you can't just put a mutltimeter to it or use a tool to determine it's the issue. So you have to go based on symptoms, the fault that is occuring and try a few repairs until one sticks and then use that experience of having fixed a few to know what symptoms are commonly caused by what failing components in the circuit. Yes I know it's not the sexy clear cut answer you were looking for but that's how it goes a lot of the time.

If that resistor installation does not fix the fault then you could have an issue with your RAM memory. Replace those first I would say. If the fault persists, then most likely the CPU itself has failed beyond this repair method and needs to be replaced. We can do that for you if you would like.

My 1813+ failed on Saturday evening. I opened it up and replaced the CMOS battery. This resolved it and it is up and working as normal. I had some problems removing the battery from the CMOS battery holder as it was really tight. A few parts of the battery hold broke off, and part of the glue (?) holding it to the motherboard broke allowing the holder to be moved slightly left-right. I considered bringing out the solder to reattach it, but it was really tight and too close to other components. I reassembled everything and it seems fine. But I wonder if it is possible or recommended to replace the battery holder.

If it works as is then no don't really bother.

If it works as is, I would say don't worry about fixing it. If you commonly disconnect it from power, then I would say perhaps this is something worth looking into.

Copy the files from it onto your computer. What speed is it able to copy at? When that board fails it only allows data to be read from it very slowly which is why the unit can't boot. I haven't done a video on it showing this but will soon. If it is able to copy quickly then it's not the fault but if it's very slow to copy then it's most likely the fault. Also what is the part number of the chip on the back of your daughter board? If it's the same exact chip as we replace in the video then most likely it's the fault. If it's a different type of chip then most likely you are correct that's not the fault.

@@NicksElectronicRepair thank you for the quick reply and your time. Although the files size is small (8.4 MB) the transfer is completed after 1s so i guess i need to focus elsewhere. For reference part number is UT165-T48 N4GPR0 which is not exactly the same as the one in the video. I am focusing on possible corrupted BIOS, any other tip is welcome. If i were in the US i would have send it to you, your pricing is very reasonable, but i stay in Europe.

Yeah if it is copying in 1 second then that's not the issue. As you said it's possible it's a bios issue, could be a fault on a hardware level or software level but it could also be a Memory issue, have you tried new RAM?

​@@NicksElectronicRepair Thank you for the tips. I also tried other RAM but the issue remains. The model is old the best i could do was to find the BIOS file from 1511 which seems to be very similar. Although i was able to extract the bin file from current chip i wasn't able to recreate it with the 1511 BIOS. I would appreciate it if you by any change have a bin copy of the DS1010+. One more think that i noticed which could indicate other issue to you with all your experience. When the NAS is booting to restarts after around 5 seconds and then it boots into the infinate blue blinking LED light.

Probably not but maybe not for the reason you think. The fault could be something else as well. We sometimes see this issue occur: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKiwlGZ9j5x4qNU I don't see enough DS1511+ models to know them really well but we have fixed several in the past. I would need to diagnose it myself however.
