You can't handle criticism too well.
Ofcourse I follow different blogs and information sources. There is also a subtle difference between "don't like" and logicaly present some arguments.
You seem to agree that a video called "repair video" consisting of CAP checkings to be enjoyed because is fun. Which is exacly my point. Well.. that's logic too.. sleep tight.
p.s from the registration terms and conditions we see:
"5) This is an electronics forum, so try to stay on-topic."
so ... yes.. dave is way off topic with these pseudo repair videos, but we need to stick on topic. see how many ideas of repairs popped up from users commenting to the video, not from the initator of disccusion. i'm don't know about you but I like to think. so let's count. he checked caps, you suggested checking logical buses, he checked power regulators, you indicated probing with a scope to detect a difference when glices occured. see my point ?
i'm not sure about "my mom tv story" either. it sounds to me like a pretext, because it made me think at the following dialog:
day1:
- son?
- yes mom !
- come here!
- just a second. i have to post something..
- bloody blog.. when he will take a real job...?
- ok.. what is it ?
- my tv just died.
- ummmm
- can you repair it ?
- sure mom.. why not.. i will film it.. and post it so everybody sees it..
day2:
- well ?
- no mom. it is beyond economic repair (?)
- really ? so i need to buy another ?
- yeap..
that was fun.. not the video..
