Is your TV, radio, mobile phone or kettle broken? And you want to create a new topic about this in this forum?
First of all, think about this: imagine that your father / son / brother has an appendicitis pain and you know from the symptoms that it is just appendicitis, but there is no experience of cutting it out, as well as the tool. And you turn on your computer, access the Internet on a medical site with the question: "Help to cut out appendicitis." Do you understand the absurdity of the whole situation? Even if they answer you, it is worth considering factors such as the patient's diabetes, allergies to anesthesia and other medical nuances. I think no one does this in real life and will risk trusting the life of their loved ones with advice from the Internet.
The same is in the repair of radio equipment, although of course these are all the material benefits of modern civilization and in case of unsuccessful repairs, you can always buy a new LCD TV, cell phone, iPAD or computer. And for the repair of such equipment, at least it is necessary to have the appropriate measuring (oscilloscope, multimeter, generator, etc.) and soldering equipment (hairdryer, SMD-hot tweezers, etc.), a schematic diagram, not to mention the necessary knowledge and repair experience.
Let's consider the situation if you are a beginner / advanced radio amateur who solders all sorts of electronic gizmos and has some of the necessary tools. You create an appropriate thread on the repair forum with a short description of “patient symptoms”, ie. for example “Samsung LE40R81B TV does not turn on”. So what? Yes, there can be a lot of reasons for not switching on - from malfunctions in the power system, problems with the processor or flashing firmware in the EEPROM memory. More advanced users can find the blackened element on the board and attach a photo to the post. However, keep in mind that you replace this radio element with the same one - it is not a fact that your equipment will work. As a rule, something caused the combustion of this element and it could “pull” a couple of other elements along with it, not to mention the fact that it is quite difficult for a non-professional to find a burned-out m / s. Plus, in modern equipment, SMD radio elements are almost universally used, soldering which with an ESPN-40 soldering iron or a Chinese 60-Watt soldering iron you risk overheating the board, peeling tracks, etc. The subsequent restoration of which will be very, very problematic.
The purpose of this post is not any PR of repair shops, but I want to convey to you that sometimes self-repair can be more expensive than taking it to a professional workshop. Although, of course, this is your money and what is better or more risky is up to you.
If you nevertheless decide that you are able to independently repair the radio equipment, then when creating a post, be sure to indicate the full name of the device, modification, year of manufacture, country of origin and other detailed information. If there is a diagram, then attach it to the post or give a link to the source. Write down how long the symptoms have been manifesting, whether there were surges in the supply voltage network, whether there was a repair before that, what was done, what was checked, voltage measurements, oscillograms, etc. From a photo of a motherboard, as a rule, there is little sense, from a photo of a motherboard taken on a mobile phone there is no sense at all. Telepaths live in other forums. Before creating a post, be sure to use the search on the forum and on the Internet. Read the relevant topics in the subsections, perhaps your problem is typical and has already been discussed. Be sure to read the article Repair strategy
The format of your post should be as follows:
Topics with the title “Help fix the Sony TV” with the content “broken” and a couple of blurred photos of the unscrewed back cover, taken with the 7th iPhone, at night, with a resolution of 8000x6000 pixels are immediately deleted. The more information about the breakdown you put in a post, the more chances you will get a competent answer. Understand that the forum is a system of gratuitous mutual assistance in solving problems and if you are dismissive of writing your post and do not follow the above tips, then the answers to it will be appropriate, if anyone wants to answer at all. Also note that no one should answer instantly or within a day, say, no need to write after 2 hours “That no one can help”, etc. In this case, the topic will be deleted immediately. You should make every effort to find a breakdown on your own before you get stuck and decide to go to the forum. If you outline the whole process of finding a breakdown in your topic, then the chance of getting help from a highly qualified specialist will be very great.

The fact is that in Scarlett multicooker (and the like), thermal fuses fly out every couple of years. This is due to the constant exposure to high temperatures.Over time, the effect accumulates and one day the fuse breaks the circuit without noise and dust and the multicooker is de-energized. This is fine.
So if your multicooker won't turn on, you can almost certainly fix it yourself. Even if you know nothing about electronics at all. To restore performance, you just need to replace one or two penny parts. But first you need to make sure that this is the case.
We unscrew the three screws and remove the bottom cover.
As you can see, you don't have to break any warranty seals.
By the way, it will not be possible to completely remove the cover, tk. the network connector and power board are fixed on it. And all this gimmick is connected by wires going deep. But we just need to slightly move the cover to gain access to the wires.
Thermal fuses are mounted directly on the power wires under the metal brackets, inside the tubes (under the heat-resistant cambric). Here they are:
We expose them and call them with a multimeter. A working fuse should ring shortly, like a piece of wire. If this is not the case, then you are in luck and most likely the repair will take a couple of minutes.
We bite out the faulty part and examine it properly. The fuse rating is always indicated. In our case, it is 10A, 165 ° C.
I was lucky, and in the nearest radio parts store there were fuses of exactly the same rating at a price of 30 rubles / piece. Better to take a couple at once just in case.
If everything is done according to science, then the connection of wires with fuses must be ensured by crimping with special brass or copper tubes. They are called crimp sleeves.
But of course, not in every village you can find such casings, so you have to somehow be perverted.
A good connection can be obtained if you wrap the contact point with a thick copper wire in several turns, and then squeeze this place strongly with pliers. In fact, it turns out the same thing, only instead of a copper tube there will be turns of wire.
Personally, I decided to just solder it stupidly and not steam.
190 ° C), then it turns out to be higher than the trigger temperature of the thermal fuse (165 ° C). Therefore, in case of strong heating, the fuse will blow faster than the soldering breaks.
The only thing that needs to be done is to protect the thermal fuse from the high soldering temperature (250-400 ° C), which clearly exceeds the threshold for its operation. This problem is solved by using a reliable heat sink, which can be done with ordinary platypuses or small pliers. That's exactly what I did.
After soldering, we once again make sure that nothing happened to the fuse:
We fix the fuses in their places, screw the cover back as it was and try to turn it on.
Great, the water is heating! We fixed everything with our own hands!
The whole process of repairing a multicooker using the example of the Scarlet SC-410 model (in the 411th everything is the same) is clearly shown in this video:

By the way, about the bowls. Bowls Redmond RB-A400, RB-S400 are great for Scarlett SC-411. The first is teflon-coated, the second is twice as expensive, made of stainless steel.
We took the one that is cheaper (pictured above) and for a year and a half no complaints. We cook often.
Let's say you have a watch in your hands. It could be the watch of your grandfather, friend, acquaintance, or even your own watch that you forgot a long time ago. They once stopped and stopped showing the time. In search of the necessary tools, you turned the apartment upside down and, with the help of available tools, managed to open them.
But is it worth the rush? Perhaps this watch can still be repaired.
If you are a beginner and have never dealt with the repair of a watch movement before, then you should familiarize yourself with a few rules that any watchmaker adheres to.
1. The clockwork is the most complex "organism" in which all its elements work as a single whole. Therefore, watch repair must be careful and careful.You must understand how they work, because some parts of the watch mechanism are so small that it will not be difficult to damage them.
2. Remember that proper specialized tools are required to gently remove the machine components. Otherwise, your repair will lead to an inversely proportional result.
It is also worth noting that even if in some miraculous way these tools are at your fingertips, but you do not have the slightest idea about the mechanism of the watch, they will not help you. If you are not confident in your abilities and do not have sufficient experience, it is better to give your watch to the workshop. They will be properly repaired by professionals in their field.
3. Watch mechanisms of the times of the Soviet Union in terms of the complexity of repair are not inferior to their more eminent and expensive counterparts from Switzerland.
4. Like most other movements, the watch needs lubrication. They won't work without it. Remember that by the word lubricant we mean a specialized substance designed specifically for watch movements, and not petroleum jelly or, even better, sunflower oil. The last two options are not even suitable as a temporary solution to the problem. The lubricant should be applied to the parts of the mechanism that require it, with exact observance of the quantitative proportions of the substance. If you think that the watchmaker, when carrying out repairs, abundantly waters the entire mechanism from a huge oiler, then you are greatly mistaken.
5. If for some reason you still do not want to give your watch to a professional workshop and cannot get rid of the desire to carry out the appropriate repairs yourself by purchasing specialized tools, know that a watch set for 600 rubles, which can be bought on most Internet stores won't be enough. This is a waste of money. A high-quality watch tool is expensive, and purchasing it for a one-time repair is not the most rational act.
6. Before starting work, read the relevant literature. For a beginner, we recommend the book "Construction and assembly technology of mechanical watches" by S.М. Tagirova. It is distinguished by the clarity and utmost brevity of the material presented in it. After reading it, most of your questions will be answered. Agree, there is nothing worse than a beginner who does not even understand the basics of the business that he decided to take on, and even showered you with constant questions: "what, but how?".
7. Remember - do not touch the components of the clockwork with your hands. For these purposes, you must use tweezers, gloves, fingertips or, at worst, a toothpick.
8. Are you going to make watch repair your hobby? Be prepared for high financial costs.
Entry-level watch tools, designed primarily for assembling watches, cost about ten thousand rubles, for minimal repairs - from one hundred thousand. In any case, you won't be able to buy everything at once. Assembling a complete set of tools can take a lifetime. The same rule applies to repair training.
Patience is an essential character trait of any watchmaker. Without him, in this case, nowhere. First of all, you should honestly answer to yourself one simple question: "Do you need all this?"
Let's assume that you have nevertheless acquired the necessary tools and equipped your workspace. Where to begin? Do not know? We will give you a hint.
Determine the breakdown or malfunction of the clock mechanism, which led to its malfunctioning or stopping. In 80% of cases, this is dirt and dried grease on the parts of the mechanism. This kind of malfunction of the mechanism can be determined by eye. Their main features are black tribes and dried oilers. The solution to this problem is to disassemble the clockwork, clean all its parts from dirt and lubricate.
Remember the patience we described above? Well, it is at such moments that you need it. Haste is your greatest enemy.
The most important part of this craft that you will need to learn is the disassembly and assembly of the watch mechanism. Old, irreparable watches are suitable for training - this is the best option. You are not immune from mistakes, like any other person, and with such training, they cannot be avoided. We consider the Slava alarm clock to be the most optimal option for learning. Its movement is similar to most mechanical wristwatches, and the details are not so small.
Let's look at it using the example of the above-mentioned alarm clock.
The first is to remove the back cover. Unscrew the factory keys, remove the buttons for shifting the hour hands, and then unscrew the fastening screws. In wristwatches, the back cover of the watch can be attached to their case, either with screws or with the help of special latches.
The second is to remove the mechanism. Look carefully and study the method by which the fastener was carried out. Unscrew the fixing screws. If you have a wristwatch in your hands, before removing the mechanism, take out the winding shaft, putting it in the eyeliner mode, and slightly press down on the suppressor, then take it out. At the end of the procedure for removing the mechanism, the winding shaft must be reinstalled.
The third is to remove the hands and dial. The first ones are removed quite easily - you just need to pry them slightly. To do this, use corners (tweezers, nippers). Thanks to this tool, you can avoid the appearance of mechanical damage (scratches, microcracks), both on the hands and on the dial. In cases where the watch model that you are repairing is not equipped with a calendar or chiming, it is possible to remove the dial, hour wheel and hands as a whole. Loosen all fixing screws carefully. In most cases, they are located on the front side of the mechanism opposite each other. All actions related to disassembly and assembly must be performed on a specialized stand that prevents dust from entering your workspace from the rest of the surface on which the stand is installed.
The fourth is the release of the spring. We apologize for the professional slang. Descent is a weakening of the spring winding. Take tweezers in your hand, the other - wind the spring by half a turn and in this state, use tweezers to move the dog. After that, slowly, without sudden movements, begin to release the winding shaft and wait for the moment when the spring is fully unwound.
Fifth - removing the balance bridge. Unscrew the fixing screws. Next, pry the bridge with tweezers and carefully, lifting it together with the balance, remove it from the clockwork. Be careful. Do not allow the balance spring to cling to the wheels. Remember that if you put the bridge down with a balance, you can damage the axle. Don't let this happen.
Sixth - removal of the anchor fork bridge. Unscrew the fixing screws. Next, remove the bridge, and then remove the plug itself.
Seventh - removing the spring bridge. This operation is performed in a similar way to the sixth stage.
Eighth - removal of the axle of the wheel system. First, remove the minute tribe located on the center wheel. If you practice with the alarm clock, which we talked about a little above, then you do not need to shoot the minute tribbe. In addition, it should be noted that in the mechanism of this alarm clock, the axles of the wheel system and the springs are one whole. After you unscrew the mounting screws and remove the axle, take out the wheels. Take your time and take out the wheels one at a time - this will allow you to avoid damaging adjacent wheels.
That's all. You have disassembled your first movement. However, it still needs to be collected. To do this, follow all the same steps in reverse order.
The first time is the most difficult. Therefore, we advise you not to try to piece everything together from memory. This will come later - with experience. It is best to run your eyes along the sequence described by us, only in reverse order and, only after that, perform the appropriate action.This way you can quickly and efficiently assemble your first movement, which has just been safely disassembled.
