Nice fix 👍 saved another from the scrap yard.

I loved the long trying to fix video, they were so enjoyable to watch.

Great idea for a series. I'm a big fan of repair channels, but usually don't have to time to watch anything over 30 minutes, so these are great. Thank you!

Watched this on my break at work. Perfect length. I appreciate this idea!

Nice fix Vince, I love that you have a fix mentality rather than just binning things and buying a new one.

I never would’ve thought that this type of error is fixable in any way. Great work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Lovely fix Vince! My grandmother had the same issue with her phone and thanks to you it’s working perfectly. I can’t thank you enough mate. Your content has givin me so much joy and I’ve finally been able to put it to use. Cheers!

I think this could be a very good addition to your video types. It's a great idea that could help lots of us solve simpler things around the house that we would feel comfortable about tackling with your advice. Nice one mate! 😊👍

I enjoy your longer videos but this was a nice little tid bit to watch. Short and sweet! Love the name too! Keep up the good work! :)

Love this short fix video. Looking forward to your next one. Keep up the great work.

I enjoy watching these fix videos, I love the longer fix videos more but these are great too

Great fix Vince. Like the format, but also love the long vids too. I keep checking Patreon every day to see if you've signed up. I think you will be pleasantly surprised when you finally join, you have a lot of grateful fans who appreciate the time and effort you devote to your content.

Vince I appreciate that you are trying new stuff in your videos but I love your regular "trying to fix" videos. I love that even if you don't have success you still keep us along for the ride either way. Maybe you could do a mix of both. And someone before mentioned this and I'll second it. Start a Patreon! Loads of us want to support you and enjoy your videos. Please keep up with great job you do. Cheers from the states!(Michigan)👍

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! I bought an Excalibur LCD Chess Computer on Ebay and the display on it was showing partial images scattered haphazardly all over the place. I was just about to throw it out but searched for repair options and came across your excellent video!!!! I improvised a heating iron by heating a single-edged razor blade on the stove, holding it with pliers. I wanted the straight edge of the blade to be my "iron". It took 5 tries with gradual improvements with each try. It finally works perfectly just like new!!!! WOW! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Love the new series. Great idea looking forward to more!

I like this series idea. It's at a easier level, more like practical skills that I could do at home rather than a serious pizzle (although of course I enjoy those kinds of videos just as much!)

Really missing the long videos :(:(:(

I like these quick fix videos.

Very nice fix, so simple but so satisfying! 👍

Vince why not have a segment where you try to fix viewers stuff, that way you dont have to buy stock, and keep your videos rolling along iv got tons of shite i could send you

Top man; followed your tip and recovered the LCD screens on two phones; all segements as good as new. My tip is you don't need a soldering iron, a 30 sec blast with a hairdryer and then pressing along the ribbon line on the contacts with a platic tipped tool does the trick.

Liked this format a lot Vince. You’ve got a lot of good ideas for content it seems. Really enjoying these new types of vids :)

At times I like the long involved fixes, but short little fixes are good too. I quite like this new idea, keep it up!

This is a good idea for a new series; keep them coming!

Nice little format, love it.

I love your vids cause they are entertaining and calming at the same time. Thanks!

this comment is to help the algorithm for the my mate vince`s channel .. love ya work vince

Tea break fixes. I quite like that.

Love this!! Brilliant idea vince! Just watched this while making my Work lunch for tomorrow haha perfect length

Great one, Vince! That's a nice new format. Keep doing it your way! Your Content is awesome!

You're still the telephone guy Vince 🤣

Thank you so much for this video. Exactly what I need for old cordless phone. Cant wait to try this out!

What a great idea i normally whatch you video with a cup of tea anyway

I enjoyed this format for a change of pace. Didn’t finish my tea before the end of the video. 😀

Short and sweet, thx Vince !!

Love this format of video.

Cool little fix Vince. I bought a cat 6 shielded DSL lead off you on eBay ages ago and it’s still going strong.

If your looking for greater revenue, merch is the way to go. Not just there in GB, but you can even have a shipping point from the US to lessen cost. Plenty of vendors, there’s one here in the city (Knoxville, Tennessee) where I live. I know the IT guy there. Love the channel, long and short videos.

Great idea for a series and a nice little fix 👍🏼

I like this new series! Very interesting to watch :)

We've got these phones, get called ID with sky so worth us repairing now! Thank You

Like your work Vince 👍

Excellent little video, keep up the good work.

I knew this method from Gameboy screens, but always a pleasure to watch

I like these shorter fix videos! I also loved the longer trying to fix videos, but I understand shorter is probably easier and better for your channel

I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time & trouble to make & post your videos. Inspired me to have a go at fixing a pair of watch winders. Both working perfectly again 👍

I'm having the exact same issue in my philips phone, will check it later! Thanks for this video, inspired me to do something good.

awesome fix it video just like the trying to fix series. i love it

Nice simple repair, have done the same thing myself a couple of times.

Ooh love this ide of short (not al fast forward) fix! This is brilliant!

great fix and great start to a new series

wow didn’t expect such a good result 👍

Nice, I like these new video series :) I just hope there will be also those good old long and detailed repair videos here and there in the mix. It was sad to hear they don't get that many views as you've put a lot of effort in them. Best wishes that the new kind of videos bring more views and income :)

It works well, thank you so much. 🥳❤

Ohhh wow. Right around the time you'd done this fix, I'd seen some other KZfaqrs using the same technique on old Game Boys. The way the Game Boy gurus love to teach it is to do it with the power on and the display within sight, so you can use the lines flickering on and off as a guide for where to apply more heat. Brilliant how you were able to cinch it so quickly without a visual guide.

I really enjoyed it, keep em coming

Vince, have you thought about doing any merch? I would love a "trying to fix" tshirt......

Missing the blue mat.. but love the new experiment, glad that trying to fix wont die! This series gave me the confidence to widen my trying to fix comfort zone, so I feel terrible that my adblockers might have played a part in killing it :( Please start a patreon soon. I plan to create an account to support you.

Absolutely love your channel! I have a semi new multimeter (cheap stock), whom suddenly got a bad display. I deduce from your content; duo to me recklessly leaving it in direct sunlight; the heat have caused the adhesive of the cord to loosen. Hopefully a simple fix.

Vince is underrated ASMR

Am drinking my tea too. Cheers my mate Vince.

Worked great on my Panasonic thanks

Vince u enspier me and many others to fix things keep it up 👍

Ok, I really love this idea

Nice fix vince

This makes me think of TheSpiffingBrit gaming channel. He's always "sat back with a nice cup of Yorkshire Tea" I really LOVE this series debut!

Nice fix and nice series 😉👍hope all goes well. Good luck 🤞

Great video mate 👍

I like this series of videos God bless

Nice! I enjoyed this.

Great simply fix that I bet can be used on a lot of things with similar glued ribbons.

Nice fix mate

Nice quick fix! Hope the new format is working out for you.

Thank you for the video, very well done. My phone is quite similar to yours, but when I did the same the flat cable melted. I've tried to cut the melted part and find the flat cable connections using a sand paper and a knife, the clue or protection was removed, but no connections were found, tried to soldering the shorter flat cable and it melted again.

Thank you! That was really useful!

I repaired a few Philips DECT phones with a similar defect in the past. They worked again for a while, but all to soon the segments started vanishing again. They are made to die after a few years, I suspect. I recycled them and got rid of my old landline. I would love to see an update here on your repair after a few months :)

Nice quick fix 🙂

Nice fix, I'll try that on my handset.

Thank you bro im trying and it's worked

I have the identical problem with my BT Graphite phones, will give this a go!

short and sweet! Kinda like tea ;)

I like the mix of voiceover and real time audio

Since you are doing shorter videos now, consider investing in studio lights and microscope camera if doing microsoldering. Brighter picture means more information to the viewer and allows you edit down the video to shorter lengths with optional voice over since the audience can pause the video.

NICE! I've got a similar issue on a Philips phone which is very pretty, I was trying to think of altenatives for a phone that I use barely once a month. That will make my bank holiday morning activities for tomorrow!

My teatime fixes usually last about 40mins... 😆

Display Off (portuguese): DICA IMPORTANTE - Baseado neste vídeo, meu Panasonic KX-TG4021LB estava com este defeito, eu não tinha uma estação de solda por AR Quente, então tive a idéia de usar um recurso que aplicávamos em aquecedores de máquinas industriais: existe uma fita de teflon que adere sobre aquecedores industriais que suporta altas temperaturas, cortei uma pequena tira que cobria a área de contato a ser aquecida na fita FLAT CABLE, cortei uma tira de papel da largura dos contatos e colei na fita de teflon para evitar que o teflon aderisse ao FLAT CABLE, então colei a fita adesiva de Teflon sobre a placa e sobre o FLAT CABLE, depois passei o dedo pressionando bem para a total aderência da fita de teflon sobre a placa, com o FERRO de SOLDA quente fui deslocando suavemente sem apertar muito sobre a fita de teflon para somente transferir o calor para a área a ser aquecida e que causa o mal contato conforme mostra o vídeo da ELECTROLAB......o resultado foi excelente, funcionou perfeitamente sem danificar o Flat Cable.......Obs: não demorem muito com o ferro de solda sobre a fita de deflon basta que a área fique bem aquecida e depois de concluída a ação, não precisa retirar a fita de teflon, deixe-a para uma eventual necessidade de aquecimentos futuros. ESPERO TER AJUDADO (PU4ASL)

Hi Vince, may i suggest another thing you could do on your channel? Well basically it is the same, but different. How to videos, but for more crafty/freaky things, maybe going into a more technical/electrical detail. i.e. Transform an old PS2 (or something else) into a mobile console. Install DOSBOX on a Nintendo Wii to play retro DOS games. Convert a NES gamepad to work with a Commodore C64. Or some DIY electronics, like a digital wall clock, maybe putting it into the case of something broken so it looks fancy and special. Add an "Audio in" headphone jack to a car radio which does not have one. Remove old speakers from a car and put them into wooden frames so you can use them with another device in the house. Convert an old CAR radio to work on a power supply in the house and attach an antenna to it. You could maybe add videos with a mindset of asking "Can you do it? - Instead of - Should you do it?" "Does it make sense or have any practical application? Maybe not. Is it fun to make and fun to watch or does it look fancy? Heck yeah."

I have the same problem with my home phone I’m going to try this and see if it sorts it’s, as mentioned I’ve done the dmg lines before so I’m optimistic :) keep it up vince, Haynes manuals are going out the window in 2050 or whatevs it’s going to be vinces fixes that people buy and read! 👍🏻

I like the idea of a bite-size fix video as I often can't watch an hour long video. Also, I know I've said this before, but I recommend a "direct drive" soldering iron, like the KSGER T12 Soldering Station

Great tea break fix! =D

'Luv Your Content Man! Keep Up!

Good video!

This looks exactly like the vertical lines fix on the gameboy dmg.

Very nice! I have an old Game Boy coming in that the owner said had a couple of lines that wouldn't work, I'm hopeful I can do this as a similar fix.

Also lke this format! :-) Stay safe!

Nice fix. I wonder how many were binned with the same problem.

I don't mid the short video but knowing it will be fixed right away is sad :( missed the excitement of seeing it working because i knew it was going to work

The problem with Tea Break Fixes is that I have 21,432 of them in the queue 🙂

Possibly just me, but I also like the fixing your own (atleast it feels like) stuff, rather than buy on ebay. Since that is more close to heart to other people, and more useful to the fixer.

Thanks for this little educational candy .... I hope you don't lose to much time for producing shorties (so we can have more) :)
