Well Mick, what can I say, you’re an absolute genius, you really really are. I don’t think I can ever thank you enough. Thanks also for strengthening the connector with the hot glue, hopefully this will help for the future. You’re right, it is in and out of our vans all day everyday and the vibrations while in transit couldn’t have helped. Seems strange how it would decide to pick on that one connector lol. I think it needs a BuyItFixIt sticker on the top of it so I can tell the story to everyone that sees it and asked 😊 Again thanks a bunch. Skills like yours are far and few between. Take care. Regards Matt

@@tdkyt46 that was the original failure, the blank screen. The back light could have packed up some time ago and I wouldn’t have noticed to be honest. Got it out one day and it beeped but didn’t turn on. Stripped the lid off and could see damage to the board and put the lid back on and that’s how it stayed for a few months and then I researched local electronic repair company’s and manage to find a TV repair shop and spoke with them and they said they could look but it wouldn’t be a quick turn around which I was fine with as I understand high workloads. Left it with him, after approximately 3 months I rang to be told he couldn’t repair it. Once I spoke with Mick I then removed the lid again to take pictures and that’s when I could see the signs of soldering to the main board etc. It was then reassembled and the next person to strip was Mick.

Good to know, I have one of these myself. By the look of it, those standoffs for the display don't hold it very securely so there will be some stress on the connector, I would imagine more so from being wheeled across a workshop on a diag cart that it would be installed in a mobile tech's van. Maybe the answer would be to use the same length standoffs but with threaded ends and nylon nuts - but your modified connector looks stronger than the original.

That is indeed a very good point. I've just checked the connector and it is indeed a 50A Anderson, although it looks in good condition and has no signs of overheating. So either the connector is under-rated, the charger is over-rated, or they very rarely pull 100A.
@mrfrenzy.8 ай бұрын
There is a calibration mode where the charger measures resistanse in cable and connector. It automatically adjusts output voltage at the charger depending on current to give exactly the requested voltage in the car. I guess they have made their own tests for how long the connector can take 100A before overheating and implemented in the firmware since the Anderson datasheet only lists temperature up to 70A. The internal forced air circulation probably helps.

Sounds like you've been watching South Main Auto! The previous shop fired the parts cannon at that truck, to the tune of $900. Still not repaired. Eric O found a corroded wire in a module connector at the rear of the truck. Sheesh, there are a bunch of hack mechanics and technicians out there. Thanks for a great video Mick, you aced another one.

My first words to local shops that bring me their problem jobs are "where are the original parts?" You know, the ones that weren't faulty in the first place. They are learning now, don't throw away old parts until you know it's a good repair. Sometimes, they have made the right call but they've sourced a part that doesn't quite perform to spec (or doesn't perform at all!) I have some really good customers though... if they're not sure, they won't fire the cannon, they send it to me for diag.

No proper trained technicians employed now. I remember we had thousands of spare parts for everything. Even masses of mechanical parts for tape cassettes.. Disposable age arrived and killed it.

Yes agree. TV and electrical repair shops are now mainly a thing of the past, or very few and far between.

I get the impression the people aren't fans of this technology... "Fanless" Dad jokes aside great fix especially as others failed, I have the 5024hf version which is physically the same but for trucks etc I quite often max it out whilst programming but it puts up with the abuse great piece of kit

For the amount this costs, you would expect the display connector to be through hole and the display mechanically held in place _properly_ with M3 nuts and bolts, not those useless cheap crappy plastic stand offs. Even my cheap component tester that has the same 20x4 character display has the display connector pins soldered through the board.

year's ago we had a TV brand called PYE it was one off the earliest colour TV , my father even paid for extended warranty over a period of the the TV would play up. the service man came out many times and fixed it & sometime later the same problem would occur, so one while my parents were out I removed the back cover it had 4 or 6 circuit board & a cathode ray tube. so I unplugged all of the boards and inspected the PCBs I found on each board about 10 components not soldered properly in place, so I got my 15watt solder iron & solder & resolder the components then replace the PCBs plugged them in accordingly replace the back cover power the TV up & hey presto it worked better than before. it lasted 20 more years, I think what happened was in those days workers would fit components then another worker would solder they would get paid X amount of $ to complete then got paid so much per 10 to 20 TV sets completed. to get the bonuses they would rush the job & not doing a good job the QA man would check them to quickly.

The fact that the device beeped when the button was pressed does (sort of) indicate that the majority of the unit (CPU, power supplies etc) is probably working. I was both surprised and disappointed that there was not an almighty bang, sparks etc from the burnt area.
