If you want a bottle of the liquid flux, (test tube of liquid flux, bottle with blunt needle, small funnel, and I will even pop in some pipettes, all you need to do is just sub to the channel and comment 'sub'd' or subscribed to let me know. After about 2 weeks, ill pick 3 names and will post a message to you asking for your address. UK only.

On a regular basis, we hear loud foot steps coming down the stairs, to the point your heart skips a beat, however when we look there is nothing, footsteps across the landing also. We get taps and scrapes down the back double doors at night, and no one is there. Kids toys go off during the night, as well as many other happenings.
Was downstairs one night only one in the house, and could hear a keyboard being played, went to the stairs and it stopped, sat back down and it started again, this went on for so long, then went upstairs to one of the bedrooms and realised the kids keyboard was on on the floor.
It got to the point we nic named it Colin the ghost, 'trying to humanise it and not make it sound so spooky', so whenever something happened, we just say its Colin.
Caught this on our cam, and cannot explain it at all, again at the time, I was the only one in the house, when I noticed this on my laptop as the cams linked to it, so watched it as it happened then went to see if I could see anything but couldnt.
Showed it to friends and family and weve all tried working out where in the room it must have been, and its where the kids toys are kept.
In our last house, we had many many experiences with things happening. Pretty much anyone we knew who came to the house, also experienced things they couldnt explain.
A lot of stuff I wont even go into, as it just sounds completely bonkers, I understand some believe in this others dont.
Those that slept over said they would never stay over again due to these things, like children's whispering and lights being turned on and off, and those who merely visited for x amount of hours, also had strange experiences they could not explain.
One friend who came with her husband, made a comment about the ghost in a facetious way, and after a bit she got up to go to the loo, passing through the kitchen, when we heard a pop and a small bang, she shouted ouch, so we went in only to find something had thrown a large tub of fishfood across the kitchen hitting said friend on the back of the head. The tub was on the floor next to her, when it should have been on the other side, she was rubbing her head when we went in.
It maybe surreal for some to consider all this, however its just part of normal life now.
Be cautious buying charges from China, they tend to be not rated for UK usage, not only is the cable scarily thin, but the plugs are also substandard.
In regard to fake 18650 one way to notice these, are anything around 4000mah or more, are more than likely fake. I have various ones, even going above 9000mah but I think legit ones are only going up to 4000mah, so anything over these are more than likely fake.
They will of course work to a degree, and to be fair, I use these to power various things including torches, and they are fine for what I need.
2. Dont make one and take it out. In the UK we are not allowed weapons, and this could potentially be classed as a taser, meaning arrest by fire arms units, and quite possibly prison time.
Extractor £30.00
Flexi Tubing £12.00 seen recently for £6ish
End Cap £7.00
x10 Filters £5.12
Jubilee Clip £2.00
Black Spray Paint £5.00
As mentioned, there are other cheaper options opened to you, you could easily half the cost I paid on the flexi tubing, and im sure there are cheaper extractor units.
Record your project and feel free to post a link below.
Low melt solder is unlike the normal solder you maybe used too. It remains molten for longer, enabling you to remove components easily.
I bought the leaded version, as it has an even more lower melting point than the others, at just 53c.
If buying a tube at around £40+ is a little too steep, you can buy just one stick, about 6" for around £7ish from ebay. Buy a stick and keep it to hand, one day it will get you out of trouble, and you will be thankful you bought it.
Here is a very simply tip, on how to clear through holes, ready for soldering in another component.
Dont laugh, it actually works very well!
Cleaning is a must, otherwise you will notice over time, a loss of suction.
Is it possibly the best solder sucker going?
Back then I bought a metal plunger, which I thought was good for the job, however 6 months on, do I still think its ok?
Here I show you how to make solder paste, my own view is dont! its fricken messy and the results are not that great.
For the sake of what £3-£4 a tub/syringe, just buy one and keep it handy.
It is easy to use, and moreover very forgiving.

My last video was not that great, so ive done another one to show that it is easy to use, and moreover very forgiving.
When using solder paste, sometimes it just looks a mess, then you apply the heat, and it just rolls into place and looks a lot better
For the sake of £3-£4 a tub/syringe, get one and have a play.
Apologies for the dodgy camera work, however this is expected when you give
the camera to a 7 year old.
King Cobra Mobility Scooter
Colour: GREY
Top speed: 8mph (13kph)
32 miles (51.5km) on a full battery - when 1 battery drains and gets low, the other kicks in. I did not know how this worked, then when I was getting low, and had turned the scooter off, it was only when I turned it back on, I noted I had a full battery, so they work independently, if you turn it off, and back on, it will go to the battery with the highest power, so do not think when the battery is low, that you will need to get home to charge it up, you have the secondary battery to get through as well!

There are too many keyboard warriors who think they are always better and perfect in every way. Me, well I am just someone who plays with electronics and moreover I enjoy it, if anyone can take anything away from these videos, then I am a happy person, always enjoy what you do and pass on your knowledge to those with less.
Not sure why but when I hit record, things go pear shaped! I am still getting used to recording and talking throughout, and trying to sound interesting throughout and yes much improvement is needed on the quality and length of the videos, so again please bear with me, I will hopefully get better in time.
Youtube is a great tool to use, and that is all I do, when something comes up, I go onto yourtube and learn, its free and in your own time, and there are many members out there that we can learn from, some put a real effort and time into their videos and from my end, it is always appreciated, just remember, enjoy what you do and have fun, as mentioned I will hopefully improve in time, its just like anything else, it is a learning curve.
3 ways I use to remove solder
1. Solder Wick
2. Solder Pump
3. Heated Solder Pump
Things will get better!
Maybe an ugly repair, but ultimately it was about data recovery, not an award for best looking repair....thank god. Needless to say, all worked in the end.
A few basic flaws but ive kept them in to show that things dont always work first time, and hopefully will remember these things for other videos.
Here is what I do, which seems a lot easier than what some people are doing.
I will figure out a better way to film, and work as I go.
I will in a future video, show how microscopic this work is.
Electronics nowadays, are not made to be repaired, as they are made on such a microscopic level, a microscope camera and other equipment is very much needed.
I know this is not a how to step by step repair, I will do that again, however wanted to get this out there, hoping that it may furnish someone who needs help in repairing their memory stick, well, certainly just the basics.
Once in the line menu, and after finishing selecting and deselecting what you want, I cannot get out from that menu, on each occasion, I have pressed all buttons to see if they get me out, but nothing happens, it then removes the menu itself after 5 minutes or more waiting time.
