Just a very simple wire repair inside my FC Mobile II to restore the sound output.
Effectively done using the COLD HEAT Solder Iron, the Solder Iron for Newbs like me lol!
Here just for kicks are some links:

Well, it did the job so that is all that matters I guess!

  • lol, that was excellent Rob!!

    Love to see these repair vids :D

    nothing negative at all my friend, being able to repair something simple or large comes with great self satisfaction

  • Thanks Luke! I am trying and learning!

  • Very nice fix Rob! Good to see you got the sound working again =)

  • @thomas3120 Thanks, yea it sounds pretty good and pretty load to so I didn't want to have to wear headphones always just to hear it.

  • Radio Shack FTW!

  • What a great shoutout, thanks!! I'm a novice compared to what longhornengineer does on a regular basis, though, check his channel out.

    Great fix! I have heard those coldheat things liek to burn out circuits (board components, too) so be careful what you use them on.

    I agree with rowdyrob3d, it's not that hard when you get into it after practice, though I have burned myself a few times (really nasty but tiny marks). Sometimes I think of them as Tech Bites :)

  • Good to know should this happen to mine. Thanks Robert.

  • Cool at least you fixed it! Wow it's funny how there is barley anything inside that FC Mobile II. I think it's amazing how cheap they can make LCD's now but they still look great!

  • Cool video, Rob. Great to see you had the guts to delve into your FC Mobile and fix it, and it worked!

    Not to be piling on, but that "Cold Heat" solder gun looks pretty junky.

    However, REAL soldering takes just a bit of practice. If you get a real solder gun, practice a bit before you tackle a real soldering project. Today's miniaturized electronics takes some precision soldering. Don't worry about burning yourself, though. I soldered in my teens, and lived to tell about it! :-)

  • Cool vid and good job on the repair!
