Treadmill Repair

At Cell Repair 4 Less, we specialize in cell phones, but we are also dedicated to any and all electronics. This is a treadmill that stopped working correctly. After starting it up, the speed would not stay consistent. Most of the time, it would slow down when put under a load or eventually come to a halt.

After quick examination, I noticed quite a bit of dust near the motor and electrical board. I also noticed that there were some connections issues with the board.

Below is a shot of the board removed from the treadmill.


After removing the board from the metal housing, I re-soldered most of the connections along the bottom of the board, and replaced a burnt out resistor.


After repairing the board, i reinstalled it into the treadmill. The repair was a success. It worked successfully without any issues with its speed or function.

wet iphone 4

Over the weekend, i worked on an iPhone 4 that was mistakenly dropped in a sink full of water. Most of the time, electronics, cellphones included, can be revived from encounters with water. However, the battery must be disconnected from the phone as soon as possible.

Basically what happens, if the cell phone has water in it, and there is still electricity flowing through it, it will short circuit different components within the phone. Once this happens, the phone is almost always never going to work again. The other issue that tends to occur is corrosion. Corrosion must be cleaned thoroughly to prevent components from short circuiting after the battery has been reinstalled.



Above is a picture of an iPhone 4 that i tried to revive. I cleaned the phone, piece by piece, and let it set for 24 hours before reassembling. But in the end, the phone did not come back up. I would say the primary reason was because the phone's battery was not removed initially when the incident occurred, and it had too much time to self destruct before i could tear it apart, and begin cleaning.
