“Buy it Fix it”
In this video we’re going to be looking at a Dead Dewalt 4 Port Fast Charger. I was told by the owner that when he plugged it in he heard a pop followed by another pop and then it was completely dead. Let’s see if we can figure out the problem and hopefully repair it!
I’m not an expert, but I…

Nice fix Mick, Boom Boom 😁
I have taken a cord back apart because of that mistake and then forgotten a second time.
Sometimes brain is not switched on properly.
Guys this is one of the most beautiful and interesting channel on youtube. Have you a Patreon or something else?
@8:31 – I have old man ears, but when you took these measurements, I actually heard the beep!
Exceptional work my friend 😊 One question, From watching Big Clive and the other United Kingdom Geniuses 🦁I thought all UK plugs had a fuse in the plug itself? Should that have not saved this charger? 🤔 or was this plug a chinesium no fuse plug 😅 Love your videos 😇
I have NEVER (with my fingers crossed behind my back) EVER done that with a socket or coax connectors 🙂My Dad was told the electric was off to a building they were working in so he put a felling axe through the mains. Apparently his mates picked him up from the other side of the room, with LOTS of laughing of course. No wimpy 110 site electric then, they were PROPER builders.
I am currently ferreting away at doing a fresh install on a new laptop. Trying to make sure I have all the programs on it I want and none of the rubbish from the old one. Been at it for 6 Hours on and off so far, between watching you and FT8 ing. Thanks for the entertainment. Bet you would have got this all sorted by now !
Nice job Mick, as always. What do you think it would have taken to convert to 220v? just out of interest.
Is it just me? or did anyone else think for a moment Mick was wearing a Christmas Jumper? 🙂
yes i have done that put on with out the outside cover of the plug
I really dont like when companies put gunk all over things. Seems like a really lazy way of making something 'robust'.
Yeah well, again many folks don't realise that frequency & number of poles has a direct effect on AC motors.
Yeah , I spotted that real fast , I guess because I'm in 110 V country …… Oh yeah the famous I forgot to put the coax screw housing onto the coax before soldering the body on , radio microphone plugs also , I owned a radio shop for 20 years and forgot to do that less than 50 times , it becomes 2nd nature after a lil while ……… I'm curious about that 110 V construction site transformer , are a lot of electric tools over there 110 V ???? It would seem that would be practical that USA made tools would make all tools 110 V due to motor design and such , instead of 110 V USA & 220 V for 220 V countries ….. That was a great from the get go diagnostic and another one is saved …….. Take Care Mon Ami……
Some years back a friend who had bought a ghetto blaster in the U.S. returned home and fitted a UK plug on it with similar results, fortunately it had only burned out the primary side of the mains transformer which was a relatively easy fix..thing is the transformer was 110 0 0 110 input so had I have known I could have adapted it before he blew it up..amazing how many people don't realise our domestic voltages & mains frequency is different
Not moved past the 3:15 mark yet but, make a mirrored board make not sence from a cost perspective, make one board and fit two of them.
Why do they run 240 to everything if they know it's safer to use 120?
Plugs, and heatskrink too eh 😉
115v and has a UK plug wich is 240V
Plugs: Those 240v rubber ones caught me out every single time. Some covers ended up with the loop cut!
This is one of the reasons why a single-slot charger is the best.
I have that same charger. The two outside chargers on mine stopped charging within a couple months, i took it apart and checked things out, couldn't find anything wrong and reassembled it and i was surprised but all charging ports worked and have worked for over 4 years now.
I have completed my legal obligation to click the like button 😉
Dad, i need some support. Mom told me it was a wild night in december of 1983 in glascow.
Good job !!!!
To everyone wondering why the mirror image boards: The cost to make that mirror image board is literally so small, as the most expensive part of PC boards is the artwork for the etch masks, drilling patterns and silk screen. Once that art is generated, a simple few clicks on a CAD program makes the mirror image masks. The build costs of each board are exactly the same, since the same components are used on each.
Another example I know of is a major manufacturer's audio power amplifiers. Every model of different power ratings in the product line use the exact same PCB, the only difference is the values and quantities of the components in the power supply, driver and output stages. Not only does that save big in not having multiple PC boards made, but a really ambitious and savvy tech can ADD the components (and change a few others) to upsize the power output of a given amplifier. (One of these days I'm gonna try it on a spare unit.)
Hi thanks for the video. I was wondering if you had thought of modifing the charger to operate at 240v and if it would have been as simple as putting both chargers in series rather than parallel ?
Yep same with heat shrink.
Brilliant fix as expected Mick, I remember years ago hifi’s and other goods had a voltage selector on the back 115v-240, that was so dangerous. I wonder if there was a different transformer taps that you could of made it 240v? 🤔.
I have left plug covers off before, also aerial plugs I forget to put the cable grip and top ring on, which is a pain after soldering the cable in to the plug part. Often do it with heat shrink too lol. Thanks for sharing !😊
Great fix, I was smiling when I read the 115vac on the sticker with a black plug on the end… lol. I think everyone has forgotten the plug shroud at least once a decade, lol. I could see it as you were wiring the plug and thought, oh no, lol, every day is a learning day 😂 great vid, looking forward to the next one 😊👍
Ha Ha yes many times I done the same. The worst one was a 21 pin connection plug way back in the 80s. Pain in the arise having to unsolder every pin just to start again, Me gov was not to pleased.
Oh been there, done that…. I once made off a 37 pin multiway connector and was 3 quarters the way through when I realised I hadn't threaded the cable through the connector shell. I am ashamed to say that I took the easy way out – made a cut in the shell so I could fit it over the cable! Fortunately
it wasn't carrying anything more than 12V and was in a location where it wouldn't be seen…. or so I kept telling myself!!
Darn blasted "silikin!" Nice to see you get a repair that doesn't involve several puzzling pauses, educated guesses, and ordering chip programmers from China.
Great job there, mate. Just removing all that gunk was quite an ordeal. Great work, mate.👍👍
I was using a Dewalt cordless power tool charger on a modified sine wave inverter one is day it quit working when I had time I opened it up to see why and found one of the wires that was soldered to the board had gotten hot enough to melt the solder had a auto battery maintainer and charger that did the same thing since then I've found utube and know that a modified sine wave power supply will create a lot of heat
Nice work. Me thinks that won't be the last time that thing gets plugged into 240v.
One time I purchased a nice Marconi RF signal generator from a well known company on eBay. It was cheap as listed "not working". First thing I did when it arrived was check the line voltage setting. It was set to 240 volts. Set it to 110 volts and it has worked fine ever since😅
Great fix! These chargers aren't cheap, so it's good to see one get repaired.
Forgetting to put the shroud of a plug on before making it off is annoying. Even more so with armoured cables, i should know…..
I don't even want to admit how many times I have done that with Shrink Wrap after soldering wires. LOL
Nice fix. But I am surprised there wasn't more blown parts then you had… But now it works correct again and that's what really counts. Thumbs Up!
I don't get why in a 240V country you use 120V utensils.
