67 and still learning i've just learnt more in 10 minutes than i have in 5 Years Mate you are the bees knees a gift of teaching is what you have thank you for making electronics a lot more interesting for someone who was ready to just chuck stuff in the bin because he couldn't get answers God bless you ....

65 years and still learning, its a great day! Thank you Tamaptec!

Tampatec, your tutorials and others like yours are what makes KZfaq great ! Thanks, James.

Can not find anyone who can fix tv,s where I live so I’m very interested in learning electrical to fix them , I’m a beginner but gotta start somewhere, this video was definitely helpful , thanks a bunch . 👍

Bro the way u teach is simple and understandable. 1st time someone speak locally regularly.not like books

This is by far the most helpful video I have found on this subject. I have an LED grow light and one of the drivers blew a resistor and I replaced it and it just blew the new one as well. I figured there had to be another issue somewhere down the line, so I have been trying to find a video to tell me how I can test each part of the driver. I haven't gotten to it yet but once I do this video is going to be a great help. Thanks so much, keep making great informative videos and I'll keep watching!

Dude thank you so much. I am trying to learn to fix & create electronic devices. You explain things very clearly. I appreciate the metaphors and visual representations. Keep up the great work!

wow! learned more in 5 minutes than I thought was possible. thank you very much. keep the tutorial videos coming.

58 years old and still learning, because i work 38 years on lathe machine. Thank you very much Tempatec

Even for me a hobbyist technician who graduated years ago, it is always something good to remember

Thanks for this! Aside from sussing out device failure, it's good stuff for checking out cheap Chinese components before installing them.

BY THE WAY YOU ARE HELPING SO MANY STUDENTS TO LEARN SO MANY THINGS FROM YOUR VIDEOS ,THANK YOU .

Brilliant tutorial. Very clear and easy to follow, thank you!!

Thanks for explaining in simple terms how to check transistors and diodes. It appears that using the diode mode rather than the ohm setting on your meter is a much easier way to tell if you've got a bad one. Regards, Tom

Thank you for explaining simple ways to test those items.much appreciated.

sir i have learned so much watching these over the last few months

I like your teaching style, you keep it simple.

VERY helpful! I'm just getting started with troubleshooting, and that information was like gold.

52 years old and still learning, Thank you

Yeah, the way you explained them so easy to understand, I like you twisted 2 diodes to form a transistor. thanks for sharing and it's done well.

This video is awesome. I learned so much from this one video. I can't thank you enough. Subscribed for sure!

Between you and Louis Rossman have helped me A LOT, thank you for this videos, im going to do the same but translated to spanish.

Again, tremendously helpful! I am running through many of your videos and think they're terrific. Thanks Man!

This video helps me as a beginner trying to learn how to troubleshooting faulty

Very informative....learned stuff I didn't know!!! Thanks and keep up the good work, Sir!!!

Good vid. Clear. A good base of info.

Excellent stuff! I just learned a lot of good stuff, and in just 10mins. Many thanks.

ive learned so much off your channel. thank you TampaTec

63 years old and still learning, Thank you

YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TEACHING IS GOOD.

I really appreciate your videos they are so helpful and have increased my knowledge ! Thank you TT

I wish I found these videos early on :c . Definitely the information I was looking for. Thanks much!

You sir are a legend. Best video on this subject that I've found.

Cool video...reminds me of my uncle..he knew all that since he was 15 years old back in El Salvador ,year 1975.he could repair anything back then..

ime in the industry for some 20 years and this guy knows his stuff you can trust his guidance

OMG! Lifesaver! The section on transistors was a great help!

Very informative and extremely helpful, thank you...

Your way of teaching is too good!

Thanks bro you give very good technical knowledge and we all are learn with the help of this type of videos.

This is such a great video. Thank you for your content and teaching of these key topics!!!

Thank you so much brother!! I learn a few things with your video by using the multimeter specially for your detailedly explanation again thank you so much

Sub'd a while ago, but didn't thumbs up/comment (my Son just explained the importance of doing those things) so I'm back to correct that while refreshing my memory on the parts & procedure needed to fix our 42" Phillips TV! Your info/vids helped me identify the problem & clearly showed me how to repair it using a repair kit (or the easier but more costly replacement power supply board) however I wasn't confident enough with my soldering skills to attempt the repair at the time I found your vids (might have tried despite my fear if our TV only needed 1 or 2 things soldered but the amount of obviously bad "bits"on ours & amounts recommended to be changed or contained in the repair kit far exceeded my DIY bravery LOL) & I haven't been able to swing the cost of a new PS Board so the TV has just been collecting dust.... I quit watching TV a couple years ago so it hasn't bothered me but my Son is a gamer & really misses the big screen...his only wish for Xmas this year is having the TV repaired so I'm hoping to gain enough confidence to do the repair by watching more of your helpful vids...wish me luck!!!

I like the music! Enjoy your videos. Helped me with a lot. Thanks 😁

Thanks I have learned something today...Its been a good day so far.

This was really helpful, learnt heaps. Thanks!

Thank you master.You are the man,very simple explaining,Good job :-)

This is super helpful. I am trying to fix a Halloween inflatable that has the "short circuit" light effect. These are "simple" circuit boards, however I am not a technician. I have tested everything on the 2 small circuit boards. There seems to be a transistor that is not functioning. Sadly I have tried finding the transistor number and have had no luck what so ever. Thanks so much for the great video it really helped a non technician like me.

Good- i liked way u showed things, especially the "joining of 2 diodes make a transistor"

I liked how you did this video made it easy to understand thanks.

Great video...explained in easy terms!

thank you very much, May God bless you I just learned a lot, this is the best video please make more videos about relays ,caps and transformers and other component Thank You again.

Highly educative and easy to follow

Thanks tampatec I live in Australia your vidoes are the best keep em comming

Totally helped me, man. Wonderful tutorial

Thanks bro this video helped me tremendously!

Great,straight and to the point.

Good explanation thanks keep up the videos they are great and not long winded

Thanks for this and explaining the diodes twisted together is like a voltage regulator and at about 2:38 it clicked for me.

I always learn so much from your vids. Thanks....

Made a whole bunch of notes on this, thanks heaps!

Cool videos TampaTec...keep em coming!!! I live in TPA as well, I am an Electrical Engineer by Schooling, but have worked as an I.T. guy all my life. Keep making videos !!!

I really thanks to you ,you increased my knowledge. thanks

I am enjoying your videos on you tube........Very Informative....Thanks

hey dudes thnks very much its help me ....you are way more better than my teacher ..

Thanks for the video, it is very helpful to me. I am into arcade games and pinballs as a hobby so I need to learn the basics of electronics. Right now I am trying to fix a skee ball board that has something shorted out and this video has been helpful how to test some of the components. Thanks.

Very useful and informative. Thank you!

Liked the detail explanations, very educational Thank you

Hey Bro,I don't feel as stupid as before,good job,learned a few thing,but it will take a bit of practice to get it down.But this video helped me out with a good start,Thank you my man,,,,Mark

Another very useful video. Thank you!

Great video always wanted to learn electronics as a hobby this info is priceless Thanks Brotha, ps Now I can try and test my Halfer 500 amp

Thanks! I found a bad voltage regulator in my headphone distribution amplifier thanks to your video. Ordered the replacement part on ebay. It was a MC7805C I found the MC7805CT as the replacement. Data specs look the same, but I can't figure out what the T at the end means. Probably something simple that should have been apparent.

Your video is the best. you are a good teacher.

Thanks man it is fast and easy to understand, you really deserve a billion subs

Good I liked it. Just one observation. Transistors cannot block voltage, even if a transistor is open you will still have a voltage across it. Transistors will block a current flow or it will let it pass. That is what it will do. But in general you are a good teacher....

Very nicke was of s Bowling how a Diode and a Transistor Workshop. It is a Pitt that the Viehs werde sometimes very Short ,ohne or two seconds, that is WHO i Hand to Look at your Videos twiсe and now I have learnt something I can even show to a friend of mine how to read it.thanks very much. Abele suisse

this is very good video, straight to the point.

I'm from.🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 I real appreciate what you do

thanks for the video , it`s very helpful ..good work man

thanks , you did very easy understand

Thanks for the great video! I have a little knowledge on electronics. I decided to dedicate some time to learn more about it because I have a few amplified speakers which don't turn on and my mission is to be able to fix them myself using only youtube videos like this one and others where they do repairs and explain how amplifiers work... Hopefully it doesn't take too much time. I saw a comment on a website where a guy mentioned "check the MOSFETs they may be the reason of the speakers not turning on.."

best tutor so far thanks

Very Good.I love your videos and detailed description

really good video. very informative

you really makes my life easy ..

u always help me out..thanks for your videos...

maraming salamat po (thank you very much) im a filipino and this video i learned a lot about diode thanks again

Good simple testing. Great. Thanks

its help me alot. Thanks alot Tampatec.

Thank you so much Tampatec i learned a lot :)

thanks TampaTec you made me understand the power of the multi digital meters... I own 3 of them thanks to you and use them a lot!!!!!

Thank you so much for your explanation it's very helpful .

man i have learnt sooo much. thank u bro.

Great videos...Thanks for all the help. :)

I know this is an old video, but the information is still good. It would be helpful to know how and where to order replacement voltage regulators and transistors and diodes.

Very thorough. Thanks!

Great video man! really good info source

This is a hobby of mine. But I forget it doubt self and this was like best refresher tecer thanks man. Couldn’t remember few ins and outs. Now I just say thanks 🙏

nice work. loving your videos
