This power supply had non-functioning front panel (display, keypad and encoder). It turned out that three chips were dead in the front panel module: Intel 80C51 micro-controller, HV518PJ VFD driver and 74HC02 quad NOR gate. Fixing this took quite a bit of SMD and through-hole rework, and quite a bit of luck, especially finding the firmware for the micro-controller.
The piano had non-working B4 key. The keyboard was taken apart and fixed. The problem was found to be with a rubber contact pad that got stuck in a strange twisted position somehow.

This Mackie Thump speaker has a damaged woofer with a shorted voice coil. The symptom was demonstrated, and the diagnosis was confirmed by measuring the voice coil both at DC and at 1KHz. A good woofer was also measured (not the same model) to show the difference.

Repair of a digital piano Casio Privia PX-110, which had two dead keys. The repair involved using conductive glue purchased from China on eBay for a ridiculously low price. The piano is back in business. Don't spill drinks into keyboards, folks!

Another lucky find from eBay. The unit was listed for parts or repair with the description that it quickly flashes an error message. Upon powering up there was a burning smell. The culprit was found to be a tantalum capacitor, which was promptly replaced.

This piano did not power up. The problem was traced to a broken off soldering joint on the power connector. After fixing this problem the piano worked perfectly fine.

This active speaker did not power up. The problem turned out to be similar to the one we have seen before in the Mackie Thump TH-12A repair video: broken off pins from power diodes in TO-220 packages that are mounted on the back panel (heat sink).

An existing design of a Li-ion battery pack for Roland V-Accordion was investigated. It does not use a battery management system (BMS), which is a bad idea. Charging process was measured, plotted and discussed. A proper design using BMS was discussed, built and tested.
