its amazing how one little hidden trace can mess a function up well done vince for persevering

I realize that I am a little late to the game here being that this is a year old, but the resolution of this Walkman series absolutely made my day. God, I have got to get out of the house more often.

It was like watching a tv series and finally finding out who the murderer was. Well done vince. Really enjoyed following that repair.

“Do you remember this?” Yes I do!!!! Let’s go!!!

I am thrilled for you Vince. You come over as such a great guy & someone who I would be proud to call a mate.!

The amount of effort put into this project is impressive !

Well done Vince. What a result and what a learning curve. A proper fault find and fix that one.

When you learn and share a lot of people watching learn too. I don’t know much about small electronics but I know more now than I did before watching your videos. Great work mate!

Glad you got it 100% working. That broken track couldn't have been in a worse place than under the Dolby switch. I had an Aiwa back in the day. The Sony would've been a bit too rich for me as an impoverished late teenager/early twentysomething.

Great stuff. I love days like this when you get to spend all day tinkering with something and get it fixed. You tell your wife with a beaming smile and she just looks blankly back.

You say only £5 but look at what that £5 allowed you to learn and us to enjoy and also learn. Well done Vince

Way to go!!! Of the six you purchased, two of them had faults in the board. One was a slight crack, and the other was this corrosion. What I learned is first replace belts and then, with a magnifying glass, really look at the board close for any faults. This is a great series, and has held my attention throughout. Thanks!

You patience is out of this word !!!!

A moment of pride can be worth more than any sense of monetary gain! Good on you Vince! glad you stuck through it for the learning experience and the boost in confidence! hope to see more success in the future videos! Keep it up!

For some reason Louis Rossmann was saying in my head that pp3v42 was not present. Nice fix Vince!

I just bought a WM-FX43 off of Ebay with the exact same symptoms as the one yours had in the original video. I've watched all three of your videos on this in one sitting, and 1. congratulations on your persistence and making all these videos and 2. I might give it a go myself one of these days. Or maybe you're willing to redo the challange and test what you've learnt.

Well done and well spotted; such a small track break.

I am in awe of your persistence and spirit! All hail Vince the Conquerer!

Yay! So glad you got this fixed. It's not about the value, it's about seeing it work once more as a result of your own efforts (with some help from your YT friends too).

Congratulations Vince! can't believe you revisited this revisit and got it working! All that time for a tiny hidden trace! Real Well done!!

Brilliant!!!! You mastered this one! Finding a broken trace like that can be super hard! Well done mate! "I got bored of waiting for that UV solder mask paint to dry" - LOL! That was me too! I tried it a few times and personally I think its painful to get it to dry!!! You probably need to leave it exposed to UV for several hours I think.

Brilliant, well done Vince, the excitement in your voice when you fix it is amazing lol .. keep it up.

Good for you for not giving up!

THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE FROM THE AUDIENCE well done vince good to see you finally had a win with this walkman excellent work mate cheers james D

I love your dedication regardless in what you try to fix. Keep it up!

I'm really happy that you fixed this

Congratulations I have enjoyed the Walkman series

You can install a switch in that trace, drill a hole on the case and put that switch there. Then, you can have this Walkman fully working with an additional function of playing BACKWARD.

Well done Vince!

Vince, your enthusiasm is inspiring.......really made me smile :)

Yesssss! Success at last. Well done mate. You Made my day.

Truly a lovely ending to an awesome trilogy! I feel so happy for you! Cheers!

This channel is gold

Awesome work and perseverance mate! Congratulations

Way to go Vince!

Congrats Vince! Your endurance is inspiring.

All i can say now is .CONGRATULATION!!!! 😁😁..you have done great job, and i fully understand you are so happy.. today i fixed gopro gimball and almost gived up, but then i ask myself..."what Vince will do???🤔"...i checked one more thing and i founded bad connection....so happy now as well😁😁... and wait for next episode

Congratulations Vince, those who succeed owe their success to perseverance because the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Louis Rossmann had better watch out!

Nice work man!

Well done mate, persistence is KEY.

This is a big Lesson for you. Nice to see u got it to work.

Congraz Vince! Great job as always ^^

Well done you got there in the end.

Aww well done Vince. Kind regards. Paul.

Fantastic fix, Vince! Very impressive troubleshooting!! So happy you got it running normal!

Break out the Kool Aid! You've gone from the Switch Killer to the Walkman Savior!!! Way to go Vince!!

Great to see that your perseverance has paid off! No more devil worship voices - in the words of Tangina (Zelda Rubenstein) from the film Poltergeist (kind of) "I have exorcised the demons, this Walkman is clean!" It's great to see you learning new things. You're never too old to learn!

You made me think about a small but annoying fault on my Sony deck... and yes, it's the autoreverse. Curiously, when the deck get heat it doesn't recognize the cassettes and sometimes it eats the tape. Too bad when you have to calibrate the tape you want to record on. Thanks for the tip.

Really nice catch! You did it! Woah, that was really hidden, you really did the job of a true technician. Good work!

You deserve a beer! Well done on persevering and tracing the fault. Have an extra beer for me as well. 😎🍺

I am proud you finally made it Mate! You learned the basics of fault finding in Electronics. Keep Ohm's law in mind and with a little more practice you will find it easy to read schematics. Sorry for the Bad writing, but my iPad wants to write german... 👍👌😍

great job vince

OMG OMG OMG, biting my nails for this one! Still haven't watched it, but hoping for the best!

Well done in finding the fault. For the UV stuff, you need a UV light to cure it or bright sunshine. UV light is quicker.

Well done !!

Nice find and fix I watched someone repair a Sony discman d9 that would not read cd,s after they changed every capacitor it worked fine.

Well done!! You have more patience than me, would have been in the bin lol, well done again.

Good job, congrats!

Great repair! I got here just wanting to see how to open one of these to replace a belt, but I had to see if you solved this problem and how so I watched the whole series 😅 let's hope mine isn't this stubborn 😂

well done vince

Awesome! Really glad to see you got it working after all that. I'm also glad that my theory about the B+ line not getting to the play button turned out to be correct :-) My boss came by my desk yesterday and asked me what I was looking at when I had the schematic up on the screen, and I had to tell him it was a Walkman. Perhaps now I can send him a link to this video :-)

That's a nice walk man actually

YAY!!!! I am thrilled you repaired the Unit, Glad you found the feed "Track" that failed to change the voltage state to that IC, But I am even more so thrilled that you have learnt a sh't ton about Electronics, Wont be long and you may even one day get your hands dirty repairing devices relying on Quantum Mechanics.. ;) :D

Yay well done Vince, you got there in the end. Now you can listen to the Archers to your hearts content lol

Glad to see that I bet on right thing last time.

Fabuloso!! que bueno que reparaste ese equipo. Saludos

That the best thing you can do Vince is keep that wal an for your self you may need it one day you never know about emergencies I have 3 Walkman’s my self 😊 thay all still work they are from 1990 😊

AWESOME!!!!

Good job congratulations on getting it going 😀

Bravo !!!

We will make a proper repairman out of you yet glad you got the bugger working

i also think that your'e amazing Vince

everyday new video, I love this mate!

I knew you add it covered ..... the only real scary bit was your scissor control in the opening .. still job done ... great vids

Awesome !

Bravo!

Uv dye needs uv light to cure. and its like solder mask. better than kapton tape

Sometimes things that break cannot be replaced or fixed but I like this channel because you try not to give up on fixing things you like to try and get things working and if you don't you could always use it for spares and repairs but you don't give up and that's one thing I like about this channel of yours and this also motivates me to do stuff as well and it's quite good because and it gets me thinking about things and it gives me information about saying things I hope you read this if you do please let me know also if you haven't please visit my channel because them I did a couple repair videos on there but yeah keep on coming

great video !!!!

Congrats! Glad you got it going. That break in the trace is in just the right place to be missed, up against a switch and right around that letter O. Also interested how it might have happened. There are traces far closer to the edge, if it was like rain getting past the switches and not close to any possibly leaking capacitors. Interesting. Also do you block links in comments? Just so I know I shouldn't include diagrams in my past comments :)

SWEEEEET FIX! The downside is that there is not gonna be a re-re-re-visit video.

7:20 "I think you are amazing !".

Way to go, Vince! Reading schematics is a basic skill you will need to take you to the next level. (Did Vince just level up? 😉)

"I think you are amazing, Chris." ...erm - Vince. ;-)

Wow that is so great :) good work. :) and you have learned so much, so as i too. :) Thank you.

Look out for an old Hameg Oscilloscope on ebay, they are very cheap and come with an inbuilt component tester. Very useful visual fault tracing tool. Edit: I can put you in touch with a guy giving one away for free if you like ... he's in Gloucestershire

There comes a time when you open it, you know immediately what's wrong , it's like higher awareness.

Great job

Really good job. Big thumbs up :-D

That UV masking fluid only hardens when exposed to UV light. You need to either get a uv pen light or a UV light box to use it

wow dude.

for uv mask to dry you need to use a uv light it should dry fast then

Next another working Switch 👍

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

LOL...just the title made me laugh :-)

If/When you list items you have fixed for sale on eBay, you should let us know!

Intresantes Video aber wehr braucht heute noch ein Walkman

Ahahah finally it's work! I never listen you so happy 😂😂

Nice one! Is that the original anti scratch film still on the LCD display?

Wooooooo
