Good ol' YouTube

Recently the 5.1 sound bar system for my TV quit powering on. Tried troubleshooting and still no luck.
Decided to check YouTube for any info I could find. To my surprise, I found a video describing the same problem on my exact same unit. It required taking it apart and replacing two capacitors on one of the circuit boards. I was pretty intimidated as I had never soldered before. Watched a couple soldering tutorials and dove into the job.
To my surprise, IT WORKED! Saved me a few hundred dollars that an equivalent system would have cost me. Made my day! Now I'm a soldering professional...

Congrats, YouTube is amazing for the helpful/repair videos. My son just fix his main level A/C unit for a $30 part and 1 1/2 hours of labor. That would have been a $250 or more house call for a technician. Sometimes you can't beat YouTube for help.

I have used YouTube many times from cooking recipes to watching the Banana’s highlights.

It doesn’t seem to work for everyone. My Daughters current husband…soon to be EX. Is a “You Tube” backyard mechanic. Currently has two cars and a couple of ATVs that used to run in the backyard. The upside is that the yard space that they occupy doesn’t have to be mowed.

I have seen some folks that just shouldn't be allowed around tools No matter how much instruction they are given, they just don't get it.
