It's good to hear someone tell the trick with the screws. It seems obvious but many don't know it.

Thanks for running through your troubleshooting, this was very informative.

Absolutely amazing. Very little people know that the electrolytic capacitor for driver chip fails often and the symptom is that the PSU shuts off at high load or fast increase in load.

What an excellent video. The captions helped me alot too; I paused and read each one. Thank you for your time.

Would really appreciate more troubleshooting videos from you! You are one of the best teachers on KZfaq! And it would help a lot of us to see how you approach different types of repairs. Hope you and your beautiful cat and animals are healthy and doing well.

Thank You. This is a really complete description. Even how to put the screws in. So many people rethread the screws and ruin the holes. It is not nice to go around ruining all the holes that you find. You don't want to make it too loose for the next person.

It’s such a joy being a patreon of this channel. I can recommend it to everybody.

I have learnt more from you than any other channel. Thank you so much. Good tip on the plastic thread at the end of the video. Turn the screwdriver anticlockwise first until you hear the click! I've always done that too!

Damn you are getting better at this! Very educational and quick to the point. I appreciate how you don't linger too long on one particular thing, but also you are sure to explain in great detail and even offer tips that will save me from headaches in the future such as the microfarrad reading on a multimeter doesn't always reveal a faulty cap. Thanks DGW!

You always make awesome and informative videos..

In my experience you tend to get dry joints on the heavier components. Something to do with the flow soldering being set up for the smaller components, the biger ones don't get enough heat to solder properly as they conduct the heat away much quicker. Also sometimes the heavier components will cause a track break if the device has been dropped due to their higher weight ( the inertia of the component can crack a track on the pcb, if the device receives a heavy impact )

Admitting that you have had it for a very long time, and did not get around to fixing it as you are a terrible device hoarder gets you a big thumbs up and a subscription from me. I know how you feel my friend! Many thanks for the useful video.

I will keep saying it every time you upload a video, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN.

So much valuable information here, this is why I love the internet. Thanks for your work!

Bravo! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Your Explanation are spot on and most appreciated.

DiodeGoneWild, Your method is best ever .

Another great video. You explain things very well and the captions are helpful.

DiodeGoneWild your uploads are awesome! You make "quality videos" that are enjoyable and informative. People who are old or new to electronics can enjoy watching your uploads. I always look forward to your posts. You and BigClive are my very favorite electronic video uploaders!

Things are too Dodgy in the world today !! Super trouble-shooting Danyk. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and your talking 👏👏👏👏

That was a very good explanation of how to check a switching power supplies. Thank you.

I love your videos , I learn a lot from them

0:27 "I'm a horrible hoarder" !!! Aren't we all?

PLEASE DO MORE STEP BY STEP DIAGNOSIS REPAIR VIDEOS. These type of videos help me understand the world of electronics more than any other method. Great video but where is your cat? :)

Really professional stuff , I never knew screws and plastic were like that.

Does anyone else try the captions on his videos? You speak very English very well though, love the videos they're actually a lot more informative than some other electronics channels so I come here to actually get my questions answered I have fixing things on my own. :)

You are a very intelligent electrician diode gone wild love watching your videos they are so interesting to me.

I accomplished your schematic for ESR meter, and i'ts work pretty well. Very simple and efficient design! Success in activity!

That's incredible that you built an esr. I'm going to check out the schematic

I'm so happy that I came so early in this video wow only 24 views These 24 viewers are from Patreon which get early access to his videos. I'll also try to become your patron .

Seriously i always learn a lot from your uploads... Thnk u and love from india

Thanks bro for sharing, BTW your accent always makes me smile, carry on...

You deserve at least 3 thumbs up for this video, could only give you one. Thanks!

Diode gone wild I have to like your videos and channel and accent it is easy for me listen to

i cant thank you enough for the esr meter

Great video. Very informative. Thanks

Excellent presentation and demonstration.nice to see very useful video.To the point explanation.

I love your videos. Your English so lovely to hear. Keep it up... ..from India

Dobré video. Nevěděl jsem, že danyk.cz je tvá stránka, dobrá práce!

Another helpful troubleshooting tutorial. I like this type of video.

Diode, thank you! It was very informative!

thumbs up for your videos ! good explaining and good editing ! thank you

Im actually going to build that amazing ESR meter soon. I think it is an amazing and really useful little tool. Also I have a couple of PSUs to fix!!

Big UP ! awesome video, all the troubleshooting and repair, very good!

Gracias mi amigo..excelente trabajo y muy buena clase...un saludo desde Chiapas México

Great video, Mr. Diode!

Thanks a lot , the ESR circuit works very neat

I suggest you making a video on the internal differences in normal Li-ion batteries, and high C Li-ion batteries used in RC models. Would be very interesting to see the differences. As I can tell, nobody on YT has done it before. Thanks.

Very good and informative. Next time, make a teardown of the battery also! I just did on a 2009 Bosch lawnmower battery just like yours - it's a 2p10s battery. I was surprised to see it was built without any balancing from the BMS. No wonder 2 cells were utterly dead! (and have been for years, the battery failed early and has been sitting in a garage for about 8 years)

Very educational video, thanks. Waiting for more repairs :)

nice work. great to learn troubleshooting on the internet. i really don't like to much books. it's easier to learn seeing someone do the job.

Love this video.. Many lessons learned..

Somebody buy this guy a digital ESR meter quickly! 😉

A great video , very good explain , this is so good to see . Thank you 👍🙌👍

I LOVE YOUR ESR METER

Nice to see more power supplies

Thank you for passing the knowledge!!!

Useful video 👍

Fixed similar Bosch charger few months ago. Thing was kept in moist place and on turning on nearly all primary side components except transformer and two resistors fried. Replaced and thing works again.

Very very very informative. Thank you very much. Keep it up :)

Great job, congrates for detailed video

brilliant Again never fail to learn here , thanks .

Very good & helpful.

Nice video, very helpful.

Nice job, many thanks

Buen trabajo amigo!!

nice job! take this, throw-away society :D

Great repair !!!

As always, an aswesome video! Thank you :D

Very good explained - thx.

Great video Very informative

this was very informative Thanks

Danke, tolles Video, sehr gut erklärt!

Mr Carlson's Lab, here on KZfaq, has an excellent capacitor tester, very clever, recommended

Great learning video

Very nice ers meter, I must build myself one.

Great video. Thank you.

Amazing the ESR

thank you very much sir .you are very helpful. I subscribed your channel

You always make awesome videos, thanks for that! I always learn something...:D At 0:27 hoarding? I like to call that area my used parts section. I grab anything that has a electronic component in it, don't care what it is...lol Driving down the street I'm always on the lookout for stuff. I just picked up a Old CRT monitor setting in a yard for the trash guy on the way to a Doctors appointment....:D I really like you diagnostic ability, that is everything when it comes to fixing anything, a TV, a Car, you have to know how to test stuff. I just learned something today, I don't have to remove a Cap to test it! I'm going to make me that little ESR tester... I have all the stuff I need in my Used Parts Section.... Lol I Always suspect Caps, I work on old CD radios from time to time, the first thing you do is re-cap the radio and get rid of all of those OLD Gray 10v caps that are 25+ years old.... After that you can checkout other issues if any. Solder joints are another issue in the old stuff..Lol Thanks again!

"I'm a horrible hoarder" 0:25 - luv it!

I like your design for the ESR tester - one of the neatest I've seen on the internet. One question though - shouldn't pin 4 of the 555 be connected to V+ as with pin 8 if the 555 is operating in full astable mode?

I verry like your vidéo ! It's verry interresring and i am french but i can onderstend ! ^^

Thank you 🌷 you are professional 🌷

thanks for the video and schematic. how much should micro or milivolt meter value should be for esr meter

Very nice video.....I have a question...that if we can use a multimeter in mv range for esr meter mv meter place?

Thank You So much sir

i f**king love your videos

I used to live in Prague, I sure miss it...

Youre really smart!

An ESR test capability seems very useful. Based on your homemade ESR tester I assume that making one isn’t expensive or difficult. Why don’t even high end DMM’s have ESR testing capability?

I find it helpful to try and always put the screws and hardware back in the holes in the device. Much better that way then in a box or bag cause you know which screws go where.... they may be different lengths and short something or poke through the housing if the wrong place. I try to do that with everything I attempt to fix, from cars to lawnmowers to outboard motors

very informative

Good stuff.

Your content is amazing!! I have a question :) how does the charging circuit know that the battery is fully charged ? So it gives an alarming sound when the charging operation is finished

Thanks for sharing. I Wish to see the schematics also.

Hi. @DiodeGoneWild Do you know what is the middle Lind in the charger. And if you can activate the charger ( make it charging ) without the battery or by connecting another battery.

Where's the cat ?!

WOW nice video

You are great

Hello Mr. Diode Gone Wild, your Videos are awesome.. I am a big fan. Can you do something about Laptop battery and Laptop chargers.
