“StezStix Fix?”
This is David’s Bowers & Wilkins Z2 speaker again. The one with the red pulsing LED. It’s been giving me nightmares, so let’s …

STEVE! 09:57!!!!!! What's that!!? I mean, it's worth checking to see if the working WiFi board also has a giant solder blob bridging those pads.
what a piece of junk. great work as always man keep it up.
The red capacitor was a red herring!
Hi Steve, Do you know anything about Battery drill charger's. We think it's stuffed, Not charging the battery's. I've had the charger apart, But I no nothing about the board working's. I can see nothing burnt out or chips damaged. Any thought's would help us out. ( For Shedoxford )
You sort of semi know what you are doing, you are funny lad, I enjoy watching your videos, keep em coming
I know nothing about electronics and thats probably for the best. Looks time consuming and irritating to find a fault with so many small components 😮
Reset clock – 'melted plastic'!! Base of C29 capacitor from using heat 🙂 Ditto – 2 solder bridges – 1 massive and 1 small.
I like watching you work but the music you use makes me leave. Bye.
That was a brain scratcher! The mixing of parts or keeping them un-mixed up was quite the situation!
I saw 2 pins shorted together with solder in the video maybe that's the reason have another look
I really enjoy watching your videos, you got a good sense of humor.. I love it. In case you didn't know:
How do I reset my Bowers Zeppelin?
The Zeppelin has a reset button located at the rear of the product. To return your Zeppelin to its default settings press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. You will hear an audio cue and notice the LED turn red once you have reached 5 seconds. When the reset procedure is complete the Zeppelin will restart.
those smd caps are easily removed by grabbing them with pliers and twisting them off the board.
Hats off for trying again. I have been watching a lot of "Buy it fix it" channel and he ends up with quite a lot of similar items not working due to corrupted firmware requiring a chip reader, reverse engineering, re-programming… basically nightmare. This might be the same – there may not be a hardware problem at all. Would have loved to know if those pink things were capacitors though. Vishay do make pink ones when you search.
This is the Shittest speaker ever.❤
the pateron songs work better if you 1.15x them. actually has a beat. Well it is a fix however basically it ended up being just buy a new board.
Hi Steve, your stuff appeared on my YT suggestions recently and I'm still here. I used to watch Lois Rossmann do similar fixes to Apple computers and even though I don't use Apple I was intrigued by the process. These days he's gone a different direction and suddenly you're feeding that geeky inquisitive part of my mind. Thanks.
What an emotional rollercoaster. I envy your perserverance!
Steve- on the faulty one….. did you try the 3mm jack with the flashing red ? I bet it would have worked
You sir, are very likeable
Congratulation, you finally found the real issue : it's stupid locked product for people ready to pay more for nothing ! Thank you so much Apple for this new trend
Evil to treat it as "faulty chip" without any evidence …
It was a fix really. Well done. I have a Nintendo game and watch climber with no sound if you want to try fixing it?
You must search for polymer caps,it has better specs.
Im guessing the WiFI board is also the main controller board for the whole thing seeing as it has a SOC on it as well so it could be a firmware issue or config got corrupt and made it unhappy?
@9:54 I saw a solder bridge!
