okay we had glued a new tab on this switch but I put a little force on it
and it broke I think it might have been able to kind of make do if we were gentle
but the new ones came in the mail so I'll go ahead and remove this old one
sorry this new one up because in the field people aren't gonna be gentle with
it so it's best we just get that out of there and the shipping cost more than
the switch so it or like eight of them should I have to repair anymore also I
got a battery in the mail that should be compatible if I remember this battery is
good but the other one needs to be replaced so we'll check that out and
look for an exact match and I could not find this anywhere online the companies
so exist but couldn't find that battery I don't I don't think it matters as long
as this works any I think any 7.2 NiCad or same number of cells I believe so
oK we've got the new switch inserted time to solder it in
okay let's power it up see what happens
nice okay it works now we just have to send it off it's expired but it's in
good working order the switch is replaced and that's be beefed up where
that uh that pin won't crack okay I've got several power supplies laying around
so we're gonna grab one that's 12 volts to amp to see if we can power this other
one up the thing you got to be concerned about though is the polarity some power
supplies the polarities reverse so we want the ground on the outside the black
and then the red positive on the inside so we're just going to test this one
real fast to make sure plug it in red on the inside black on the outside and
that's correct so that should work let's uh let's try it out
see what happens okay so that'll work this one was missing a
power supply this power supply was damaged and we repaired it so we're in
good shape I think this one's got the dead battery I'll let them both charge
up and figured out I hate to take this back apart if I don't need to but I'm
pretty sure this battery was good this one was dead
alright that's not the right screw it's a little bit too long we'll trim it down
let's try that
that's a little better
sweet okay well let the batteries charge a little bit this this one had a dead
battery but it also had a bad DC jack so if we let it charge it may be okay this
one the battery was good on and if not I'll let it charge a few hours if not
we'll throw this on there okay so I let this battery charge overnight and it
slowly built up a charge what do we got eight eight point four so if I plug the
power source eight point two and then if I hit this power switch we can see we've
got a battery now so that's pretty cool we'll button it up when i ordered this i
didn't realize i ordered a 1000 milliamp hour and what i'm replacing is a 12 1200
so it's probably not a big big deal but if i had noticed that i would have got
the right one
all right we got two working connais tools now albeit one expired needs to be
set in for a reboot good deal this one should be good to go should have another
it's got some time on it once this gets rebooted because it's a customer tool
I think it'll have ten years which is ridiculous it should last forever but I
do have an elevator intermittently shutting down I can go test this one out
on tomorrow so that will come in handy
