LED Projector Repair?

Thanks!

Very small, and aparrently not very good projector, might be usable for those old 8 bit games, but nice little fix. Appreciate all the work you put into making all this content for us

Well, a good use will be to use a Pi and run a clock through it, and project it on the wall.

This sums up the vast majority of things that I repair, something small and another factor. The other factor is usually that the previous owner didn't like or had grown tired of the item. The vast majority of appliances are thrown out because of something trivial, e.g. blocked pump and are also dated or have rust or some superficial damage. It's a great hobby.

First guess was a power supply issue. But was taken by suprise that it went that way.

Might make a profit selling it working. Ya never know great video love your content

If it's working in the end it's a fix. Just the problem was operator error by using the wrong power supply.

I enjoyed that Mick, nice bit of fault finding to narrow down the issue 👌👍👍

;)

The cable labeled "TFT" is for a small 2-3" LCD panel from a 2000's cellphone, backlit by a small white LED. Absolutely junk :D

I’m in South Shields Mick you sound like you’re up here too, I repair tvs, I’ve had that before on a 12v tv the power supply wasn’t the right one so it was collapsing when it needed more power. Great fix though shame about the quality 😂 probably £5 brand new from china

LED. Projector. Repair?

In cases where the power adapter is the correct voltage/amperage, I don't know about others, but the very first thing I do is to check the voltage of the adapter and if the voltage is correct, then I do a load test on the adapter.
Many times, an adapter will fail to where, without load, the voltage is correct, but as soon as there's a load, it drops right off.

I have this issue now and then with our security cameras. Some are outside and when one stops working, it's always been the adapter giving up the ghost. Using a test adapter always confirms this.

Fortunately, these adapters are easy to fix.

Same thing happend to me. I won an auction for a small amplifier sold as faulty, cutting out when volume increased.
Looked at the requirements and it needed 12v at 2amp and the psu was rated at 12v ,0.5amp.
£1 incuding delivery was one of my better wins.

Thanks for making these Vids, I don't know what is wrong with me, I've been trying to find a side gig and I don't know why I didn't think of Tool Repair.... I don't buy new Alternators unless the Rotor is Shorted, id replace the Diode Rack and Brushed and i am off to the Races..

i like to ask what is the problem with the projector wifi is on but not reading any wifi signals. thanks

Like they say"Put brain in gear before body in motion"" When troubleshooting, if you start on the wrong foot it sometimes bite you in the behind. Great video none the less mate.😊😊

It still surprises me when people just look for the connector size to fit and not the supply voltage, etc needed on the device sticker... oh well, their loss I guess

Several years ago, i bought a projector from a "surplus outlet" kind of place for $5, didn't work (marked as such) got it home, opened it up, and literally 1 skid mark on the PCB, tiny sot23 n-channel fet... took me all of 11 minutes to replace it, and the projector works perfect to this day.
