If I repair any power supply / voltage converter or any amplifier in which there was a short circuit, I always give a tungsten filament bulb in series when I first switch it on. The bulb must be of sufficient wattage. If the bulb glows after switching on the device, it means that there is still a short circuit in the circuit. If there is no short-circuit, the bulb will flare a little when switched on and will glow gently. This saved me a lot of transistors. Nothing "explodes" when turned on.

Glued down panel, melted plastic sprues holding down the main elements - obviously designed to be e waste right from the start.

Classic lightning strike damage. Nice work. 👍

Fixing a starlink router with parts of an old hoverboard. That's McGyver, Star Trek and Back to the future in one video. Great. Thanks!
-
Most people probably would have stopped at the issue with the ic. Great to see some good old fashioned out of the box ingenuity. Glad the algorithm pointed me here! Definitely a fix and subscription earned!
-
It is a fix and a half, Wow , you have no limits of impossible. Very proud of you. thank you.
-
The art or repairing electronics is the diagnosis part. Replacing the component doesn't require lots of knowledge and experience. So technically speaking, this is a perfect fix.
-
Just tore the same router apart and pretty much same problem so thanks for the video i was able to get mine working two days ago but its nice to see a video that would have pointed me in the right direction in the beginning and would have saved me time in the long run. Older i get the more i value my time.

Yes, you delivered. When you were compromised beyond any reasonable way to survive, you still delivered the goods, 100%. Well done.
-
Brilliant "work around" I'd say bro👍👍 With no way to get the chip replaced and programed, this was a solid solution and fix. Starlink certainly seems to not want these repaired by the way they're built, glued and melted together. Great job, well done getting it up and working... Thanks for the video and work. See ya next time.

I find it useful to use a black light on the circuit board as it will show you where the coating has heated up or melted.
-
Megabits per second, not megabytes, I think? Envy your tenacity and patience. Excellent videos, always look forward to finding out what’s next on the blue mat.
-
The nice thing about this equipment 'failure' is, the varistor/thermistor served its purpose perfectly. It failed so the rest of the circuit board would mostly be left unharmed.
-
Ha nope it is not a fix! It is infact an upgrade as should the power supply go wrong again it is now more fixable than it was prior. Nice solution I really like your determination to get things at least to a working state and also your approach to working through the problems and if needed an out of the box way to make the most out of a bad situation. Really nice work this made for a great watch with a satisfying outcome. 👍

Loving your mild mannered tenacity

Excellent as ever. It's great how you show your working, i learn so much.
-
I think you could call that an excellent fix, Mick. How you manage to deduce the issue every time is beyond me. I wish I had your skills. Thanks for sharing.
-
Short time lurker and long time tinkerer here. That's a fix for sure as it now works as intended (with a little additional bulk). Great diagnosis and repair!
-
That’s a fix. Great work and nice jump scare!
-
It's a perfectly reasonable fix in my book. I love the persistence.
