  I found Mark whilst searching for some info of how to repair my Sony RCD-W100 CD player. His exploits in the world of repairing all sorts of audio equipment really is quite captivating. Never have I seen such electronic expertise demonstrated in such a charismatic way. Just amazing!! Thank you Mark.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arO2npsNkLc&amp;t=228">3:48</a> «and the fuses don&apos;t blow on their own!»<br><br>I learned this the hard way. Working on trying to salvage a rather beefy PSU for a light, i saw it had some burn marks around a mosfet and a blown 10A fuse.<br><br>I decided to swap the fuse, clean up the board with some alcohol and powered it on… BOOM. Thre was a loud explosion and the room went dark. Well, apart from the board which burned like a bonfire.<br><br>Turns out something had gone terribly wrong to the previously burnt mosfet which caused it to blow up into pieces. This incident swiftly sparked a fire in the not-quite-dried-up-yet alcohol. The entire board was burning, from edge to edge. It was actually a spectacular sight.<br><br>Decided to toss that one in the bin. I did a pretty darn good job as a rookie pyrotechnic that day though lol

  It&apos;s videos like these that further fuels my desire to continue to learn how things work as well as my beliefs of &quot;why buy it when you can build it&quot; and &quot;why replace it when you can fix it&quot;. &nbsp;Great videos, please keep them coming!

  Great video. I really enjoy your jolly, good nature, chuckling at every challenge. You set a fine example for me. I tend to get a bit grumpy when encountering setbacks. You&apos;ve given me renewed vigor to tackle a troublesome effects unit I&apos;ve left lie for a bit. Subscribed!

  I don&apos;t recall ever reading about a failure mode of a capacitor as being &quot;knackered&quot;.

  I had the crappiest day I&apos;ve had in a long time at work today. Just binged about 4 episodes and laughed my butt off while putting the finishing touches on my Trio TW-61. Thankyou sir!
