The connection of moving elements or printed circuit boards to each other in industrial equipment is carried out by flat cables (loops). During operation, one of the conductors in such loops often breaks, and the device's performance is impaired. To search for a faulty contact, the loops are "ringed" with an ohmmeter, carefully bending the connecting tracks in different directions to identify the "flickering" contact in each track.

In my "Texet TX-D5300" radiotelephone (made in China), after falling to the floor from a height of 1,5 m, the display of the portable "tube" stopped showing individual character segments. I had to disassemble the radiotelephone and look for a malfunction. It consisted in the loss of contact between the tracks of the loop and the contacts on the display board (Fig. 1)

Loop repair in a radiotelephone, car

In my opinion, given the rapid obsolescence of radiotelephone models. it is unreasonable to spend time and money searching for and acquiring a new cable, and then fiddling with its installation.

On fig. 2 shows that the contacts of the cable are glued to the display, and in this part the repair is almost impossible.

Loop repair in a radiotelephone, car

On the other side of the cable, the contacts are soldered to the board in a checkerboard pattern (Fig. 3).

Loop repair in a radiotelephone, car

To repair the cable, remove the back cover of the radiotelephone case and remove the batteries. Unscrew the fixing screws (2 in this model) With a flat screwdriver inserted into the joint of the body halves, carefully separate them. After that, the board mounting screws (2 more) become available by unscrewing them. remove the main circuit board. A plastic cover is removed under the display (it is held on with double-sided tape). With a medical needle, observing through a magnifying glass, they clean off the insulation of the cable conductors, periodically sharpening the needle on a well-aimed emery bar. Then, with a low-power soldering iron (with a power of not more than 25 W) with a piece of copper wire wound around the tip, as a thin and sharp tip, solder the stripped sections of the cable, removing the remnants of plastic insulation

With a scalpel blade or a thin knife, 1 ... 2 mm of the plume section is cleaned and irradiated with it. The conductor is then soldered to the PCB. In the event of a break in several conductors, these operations are repeated. An almost repaired loop is checked for gaps between all adjacent conductor tracks. The next step is to wrap the thermal film (from the printer) or thick polyethylene in one layer at the newly soldered tracks of the cable and heat it with an iron until it melts easily (the film of the cable begins to melt and sticks well to the board). At this stage, the main thing is to drive the iron smoothly, with gentle pressure. The cable on the other side is also processed (near the phone display board, if the indicator is attached using rubberized tracks).

When one or more trails of the plume broke off not at the edge, but in the middle (usually this is noticeable visually, even with the naked eye). To restore it, it is better to duplicate the tracks with segments of a thin flexible mounting wire, for example. MGTF-0.6. The radiotelephone is assembled in the reverse order.

If the loop is small in terms of the number of tracks (for example, up to 10), it can be made "on the knee" by fixing the connecting conductors on a strip of wide medical adhesive tape (on a fabric basis). Conductors are placed on a piece of plaster. corresponding to the length of the standard cable, one to the other. The length of the conductors varies in a checkerboard pattern (in addition to the corresponding "pattern" on the printed circuit board, this is also necessary in order to protect the soldering place of the previous one from touching the soldering tip when soldering the next conductor)

In the same way, you can quickly repair radio telephones of other models, and even cell phones. in which the connecting cable has "broken" (frequent malfunction of sliders and "clamshells") or partially lost contact.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Determining the calorie content of food from a photo 27.06.2023

It became possible to determine the energy value of food by its image.

SnapCalorie has developed an artificial intelligence program to determine the energy value of food based on a photograph. This application is also able to determine the portion size and evaluate the quality of the dish.

SnapCalorie's developers claim that their program is highly accurate, thanks to a "unique training dataset" that includes more than 5 products, including sauces and sunflower oil.

In addition, the built-in ChatGPT provides recommendations based on user preferences. The app can also be integrated with other health tracking platforms, including Apple Health.

The service is currently only available in the United States.
