I use this thing all the time, but it's stopped working. I don't remember dropping it! 😬
It's the catchily-named QianLi Intelligent UV Light Curing Lamp, and there's definitely no UV light coming out of it!
If you want one, they're here: amzn.to/3Men9vB
Let's have a look and let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

@chadmasta5 Жыл бұрын

Since these are filmed under a microscope I tend to lose the sense of scale for the components you work with. I'm always really impressed when you fix stuff but seeing just how tiny that transistor was makes it even more impressive!

Just in case you were wondering, these 2 digit 7 segment displays are simply light emitting diodes tied together with a common anode and separate cathodes. Each segment lights up when a current flows from the common anode to it's individual cathode. Each digit has one anode so in your case, more than likely that anode was on the same power rail as that transistor. When it exploded, it knocked out two things in one go. The positive supply to the first digit of the display and also the UV LED too. Some segment displays work the opposite way around...with only one common cathode and separate anodes. (Just to confuse us all!)

If I had to guess that transistor is getting hotter than it is designed to due to a design issue. Maybe replace with a higher rated part or add a heatsink if it fails again. It might have been good to see how hot it gets using a thermal camera?
