After my failed attempt to fix one of the Voodoo video card I received from a supporter, I shipped it to Alex ‪@bitsundbolts‬
Alex worked on it and... well, I won't spoil it but suffice to say he developed a whole new software tool to diagnose the fault.

Please take a look at the video which is nothing short of extraordinary!

Alex (‪@bitsundbolts‬ ) designed something really cool which I am going to explore myself in a future video: the AirMeter!

It's seriously cool! And apparently those multimeters are very good for low voltages!

Happy New Year everyone!

You might have noticed that I haven't published a video in a while. This was a planned delay as I am busy with work until the end of January. I plan to resume with videos in February. In fact, I have already half-edited the next video (see thumbnail below, an Onkyo 806 VERY COOL to repair) but I won't be able to finish the repair before the end of the month.

And yes, the Thumbnail assumes I will be able to fully fix the Onkyo, I am being optimistic as it's still only half-fixed! :D

Plenty of projects in the pipeline, it's just lack of time.

Hope to see you soon, wishing you all a great day!

Forget about "rejuvenating" CRT tubes, that's a hit and miss process, often providing short-lived improvements. We can now REPLACE THE GUN of a CRT. That's it, someone can OPEN the CRT and replace the electronic gun inside. How cool is that???

‪@bitsundbolts‬ has been working on an amazing project involving RAM upgrades for old Creative AWE sound cards! Take a look at the progress, it's honestly mind-blowing

I've been complaining to Topdon a few times urging them to fix the Thermal camera Windows software I use with my TS001 which has a big issue: the temperature fonts used are very small on a high DPI screen. To the point where the temps are unreadable.
Today I've finally received a BETA version of the new software. It appears to have been fully re-designed (why!). Now the temperature font is VERY big but still cannot be changed and doesn't have a border so when the background is the same colour of the text, it's still not very readable. Plus, I see quite a few important drawbacks - so I reported back to them and fingers crossed.
