I Bought an UNTESTED Whack-a-Mole Thing | Can I FIX It?

Yea, I 3d print noise makers for my nieces and nephews, and their parents can't take them away because the kids will yell that "uncle phrea made them himself !" :P

[@ValuedTeamMember]

That is so ironic! I "untested" one of those when I acciently dropped one on concrete a couple of years ago.. Now I'm wondering if "thats" the same one? Will blunders never cease. Thank you for the vide0

[@MonoAnji]

Afaik it's better to current limit the power supply to something quite low (like 20mA) when testing LEDs, the actual voltage they need depends on the colour and other things. So if it's current limited you cannot kill them by setting a too high voltage.... You could then just set the voltage to 4 or something and the power supply should "tell" you what they actually need. :) 1V is too low in any case, probably 3-ish.

[@StezStixFix]

That makes sense! Thank you 😊

[@maicod]

yes the forward voltage of LEDs is between 1.8 and 2.3 or about

Untested? Gotta love those eBay listings. I once fell out of a tree when I was a kid, my arm ended up facing the wrong direction and wobbling quite a bit, I went to the hospital and the doctor told me it was 'untested' before putting it in plaster 🙂

I can imagine a child getting this as a Christmas present, ten minutes later it mysteriously disappears. Parent with a guilty looking facial expression looks on in wonder in front of the child. The sound would try the patience of a Saint. Love your videos and humour Steve. Thanks for the videos.

You for got to see if it went to 100. I'm sure it did tho. We realy love watching yout chanel here in portland oregon. If I make it back to the uk any time soon I would like to have a pint in your pub.

They straight up took that coin sound from Street Fighter.

[@LordPata]

Steve: Stupid game Game: Plase put in a coin! hahahahaha! that was so hilarious XD

[@harshabugatti]

Nice trick in identifying faulty transistor

[@cybergarri]

do you know your multimeter have diode mode and you can test a LED (light-emitting DIODE)? Not all multimeter have the same power. you can check too the voltage drop

[@elduderino1287]

22:38 I love how they just stole the insert coin sound from Street Fighter 2 lol.

Reggae mon. Lol Steve i love your songs.

[@thediamonddust]

"Please choose! Steve 1! Steve 2!" I cant unhear it.

[@jerofld]

BTW Steve: Your multimeter wasn't able to show you the voltage when testing the voltage because multimeters are kinda slow with all of their autoranging functionality. There is a way to keep it in a certain range so it better indicates the voltage, but most people probably don't even know it exists. Also, non-professional grade voltmeters might not have the sampling rate to properly display quickly changing voltages.

[@jayfeser5259]

I really wanted to see you crush that stupid game with a massive hammer for some reason.

[@OliverJonCross]

That coin credit sound, is either the same or very similar to Capcom's Street Fighter 2.

Hey Steve if you look you can see a crack in the transistor after the y. That seems to be a common thing

[@everythinginfullspectrum8625]

PLEASE!! PUT IN THAT COIN! ALREADY! 🤣🤣

[@Jeroen_a]

Check the leg length of the LED (if it has not been cut...) The longer leg is the positive side (anode). Sometimes the LED's have an indent or a flat side this is the cathode (negative).. you can also see what is the negative and positive side by looking at the LED itself. (If it has been cut and has no indent or flat side....) It usually has a large and a small metal part inside the "bulb"... The larger part is the cathode (Negative). LED's work like diodes (hence they always have about the same symbol in electrical schematics an LED has 2 arrows extra to show it's emitting light) that send most electrical signals just in 1 direction... so swapping polarity does not harm them. The leg length is not always a true answer... because of how they are made in cheap factories though.

[@RobSchofield]

@ 7:15 - the larger, "cup shaped" electrode inside the LED lense is the negative terminal: it's bigger to act as a small heat sink and mounting for the LED device. Usually, the plastic lense also has a flat face to show this.

[@CreeBreej]

My kids use this bash a mole. Bought from a charity shop last year.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

My condolences.

[@TheCoopsCorner]

I was waiting for the voice to change and go all Samuel L. Jackson. "PUT THE MUTHUF***IN' COIN IN THE MUTHUF***IN' SLOT!"

[@Zhixalom]

Usually those kind of LEDs have a lighting-up threshold at around 1.8V to 2.2V, depending on the colour. A quick and easy way of testing them, is to use a common coin cell battery, like a CR2016, CR2025, or CR2032. Because since those coin cells aren't able to put out enough amps to fry them, you can just use them directly without putting any limiting resistor in between. Another thing is that, since LEDs really are diodes, you can also test them using the diode-tester in your multimeter, or one of those Arduino based component tester thingies.

[@IsiahTomas]

[@turboelephant6298]

How about a revisit and look at the coin mech? It would not prompt it and have a switch setting for it if it was not meant to work!

On new LED's the longer leg is the positive, the shorter one the negative, if the legs have been trimmed you can look through the LED, the side with the big horizontal part is negative, I always think of it as a minus when looking at it!
