Amazing. I saw my R8 had gone, I wouldn't have noticed the small black mark on it and when I saw it spark, bingo! I've had intermittent heating/beeping etc so all ties in with this. I have ordered a new R8 resister and will solder it in soon as received in the post. Thank you!

Just used this video as a basis to strip a set of remminton S-9901's (almost identical internally). I now have the half with the heat controller circuit intact and the power circuit in a seperate box. It is fantastic for reballing memory chips for consoles and any other chip that fits on the heater. Many thanks for the video Kev, it made my life a lot easier.

Way to go Kev, you little legend. Not going to lie, did not think it would work out for me and was pretty confident the constantly beeping unit would be binned, but fault was exactly what you had, I did exactly what you did and guess what, 'straight' up winner (pun intended) $250 AU saved with side order of pat on back.

Could you tell me how you put it back together, I'm having trouble with the spring thing in the hinge. I can't for the life of figure out how to do it. Many thanks

I have one of these and all my resistors check out within tolerance with a decoder. Is there a gyroscope or something that senses motion? Mine is fine if left alone but as soon as it's moved it resets and beeps and loses temp. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks? ... I did double-check all the Philips connections

hello thank you for this video.if you dont mind my asking.how did you know the real value of these resistors? .i m troubleshooting ghd 5.0. with no power issue.thermal fuse gives buzzer then i assume continuity is good. R11 reads 1kohm something R8 : 0.970 ohms R1: 420 k ohms R5/ 0.500 OHMS R10 / 0.820OHMS. can you point out the faulty components, iwill be very thankful.

Hi Kev, great video. -Question,was that the R5 that you replaced? If i get a replacement should i replace with a 157 degree / 225 degree ? 0.5 ohms? Thanks

hello sir can we run a hair straightener 125v 50 hz which is 125v 60hz plz answer

i am having hair comb straightmer hqt and it is not getting heated .would u pls tell me why is it happening?

Kev I have a set of ghd mk 5. I have changed the thermal fuse and the thermistor but all I get is a bleeping and ghd flashing. Light.

Hi wondering if you could help me out. i have ghd 5.0.... i replaced both resistors as one read a open circuit.. i also added a new thermal fuse as that read open circuit too. the ghd now turn on and the led turns on and they start to warm up but only the side with the thermal fuse on. the side with the thermister does not heat up. i swapped the heating elements around to test it and it heated up. so both heating elements are ok. i also tried a new thermister and still does not heat up. so its no that..is there anything els i can try ? any voltage readings i can take anywere on the pcb ?

Hi there, My straightener was wet , it was'nt properly dried after i cleaned it , Actually I washed it under a running tap ! that was a big mistake though , and then after 10 minutes i thought it is dried , I got it on power , but it sparked , it sparked from where the temperature light is shown , the electrician said its kit is burned . Is there any way to get the new kit ? or any other way to fix it ?

hi, have you ever come across being unable to undo the hinge pin, I have used 2 x snap on drivers to undo & I cannot move them. Obviously I am going counter clockwise. I have now virtually ruined the head on one of the screws trying to free them off.

I have no clue why im doing this I never do this shit..I cant unscrew the bolt under the cap but I feel like ive come too far to give up?

ok thanks for the help ill take a look

Hi, The Bios IC on the PCB isn't showing any output voltage and the straigjtener is not getting switcher. All the resistors are perfectly fine and showing right values. What might be the problem? Looking forward for your answer, thank you.

Hi , can you tel me where i can find an elettrical map for ghd mk5 like your in this video? Because i already repair by an tecnical and he put a different resistor in R8 and in R11 And i don’t know whitc is the correct one . If i leave my email, is possible send me the elettrical map?

I left my straights without switching of my straighter now it is not being heated what can I do plz tell me

Hi wondered if you could answer a couple of question for me? I have a pair of GHD 5's the thermal fuse has blown I've checked all the other components as your video and can't find any other faults. Is it ok to go ahead and change just the fuse? Also in one of your videos you said not to fit the thermal fuse that blows at 240 instead of 216. The problem is I'm finding it hard to buy the one that blows at 216. Do u sell them or now where I could buy one? Thanks in advance.

hi i have a ghd 5 that is not heating up properly will that b the same resistor if so what ohm is it eg 50 or 100 ohn thanks

My straightener is auto off what should I do plz help

👍👍👍👍👍

hi sometimes the plates both heat up and sometimes 1 is alot colder than the other

my thermal fuse has had it in some ghd 5.0.. is there a reason it failed ? old age with heat over the years ? or do i need to see if anything caused the thermal fuse to fail ? both heating plates measure 64 ohm''s so there ok. do you know the value of resistor 8 ? apparently that can go.

I'm not going to tell you what i received from my girlfriend for fixing these, but she is for ever in my pocket so to speak ^^

My MK5 is going off just 2 seconds after turning on...did you came across this problem kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nK6bmLGfz9rNnYk.html
