    Fantastic video. All my Teckin smart plugs seem to fail after a while. I had just dropped one into the bin when I thought I'd check if anyone had tried fixing them. If they hadn't been so well glued I'd have had a go myself already. Now you've shown the main issues plaguing these and how to open them up. I've just dug the switch out of the bin.👍

    How often caps cause failure! I just replaced the starting capacitor on my 25 year old espresso grinder. Thanks for your videos. I am incapacitated and usually have to watch your videos on my cell phone. Due to a strong tremor in my hands I cannot comment on the phone, but I want you to know that your videos make my limited life experiences at age 80+ much more bearable, all the more because my favourite English dialect is Geordie! Greetings from Germany!<br>Gan canny, man.😊

    Well this show that if the capacity of your capacitor is incapacitated your smart switch is not so smart anymore.<br>This is a good example of useful voltage injection.<br>Good fix sir.

    Always like your diversity in repairs...and also when you have to revisit an item. Keep up the great work! Until next time take care.

    Channelling both the inner Big Clive and Tony359. Nice work, I&apos;m hoping some of it sticks and I&apos;ll remember when I need to.

    Perfect timing. I just came home with one of these that I saved from an electronics recycling box at IKEA. 😊
