Fix Tech Stuff Blog

This is my first post. Let's have an introduction.

I am Nathan, the FixTechStuff guy, I have a YouTube channel where I record tech / electronics / other escapades. https://www.youtube.com/FixTechStuff

My background is programming when I was younge: C64 demo scene, blitz basic  and others, later game maker studio, then electronic repairs and IT, I am not afraid of any trade or task that needs doing.

My first video I repaired damaged solar panels by replacing the burnt bypass diodes, thus adding more *free* solar panels to my DIY power wall which I built from recycled laptop batteries. It's a work in progress, I am in the process of changing the battery packs before I film the actual power wall for YouTube.

Other videos feature electronic repairs like the Delonghi Dolce Gusto Pod Machine, phone repairs, reviews including the fantastic DPS3005 Adjustable Power Supply and the AMG8833 Thermal Camera.

It's not just electronics, I've done a video on welding Electric Brake Hubs on a trailer axel, I've reviewed a mocha pot and experimented with refilling butane cartridges with LPG.

Upcoming videos will feature electronic repairs using my new microscope (which I will also review), I'll do a fun maker video and I have at least 2 children's electric motorbike videos in the works.

There is a lot more to come.

Note: Solar panels can carry dangerous voltages and currents, especially if you work on them in sunlight! Shorting 30VDC would be a bad thing. Incorrectly installed or faulty solar panels have started house fires. This post is for informational purposes only. Don't attempt any repairs if you are not skilled or qualified to do so. Back in 2016 I was beginning my DIY solar power journey. An electrician friend kindly donated some hail damaged solar panels, another friend donated a boot load of used laptop batteries. With everything I needed to get started at zero cost, I was keen to make do with what I had and power my house. A major downside to solar panels is the glass covered polycrystalline layer is exposed to the elements 24/7, hail, rain and extreme temperatures will degrade and eventually destroy them. The hail damaged solar panels checked out OK with the multimeter, they were still functioning and had no problems charging my batteries. One even had a 5cm hole smashed right thr...
