00:00this video here will only be about the extender on the doorbell it's usually
00:17paired with this is the top of the doorbell and this is what the remote for this was glued on or
00:33looks like a piece of you know tape stuck tape and there's corrosion on the inside of this
00:42so that was the first thing was to clean the corrosion with baking soda put in good batteries
00:49that you've tested now this is just a test button this uh now when you press it you'll see the led go
01:00on and there's the chime
01:05that's all it does uh but what i had to do was if you see these these are called jumper pins
01:19and i never touched them but i noticed here's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven
01:29twelve thirty four fifteen so there's eight jumper pin sections 16 pins
01:37and i only had the three here but you could move those around if you think somebody
01:45has played with them and you just pull them off
01:49maybe get some tweezers
01:55just like on a computer see that you got the two pins that it goes around
02:07hope i don't ruin nothing here by taking them off
02:16okay so we'll push the test again
02:21yeah that works
02:23now this unit here
02:28take that out
02:32let's get a name on it
02:38i have to find a name on it
02:57this is very old
03:01probably 15 maybe 20 years old but under here
03:08get one of your screwdrivers
03:11if you don't hear that sound
03:15i'll just show you what's beyond this screw
03:19there's those jumper pins now
03:27now this one's got four
03:30but i've never touched this since it's always worked good
03:35one two three four still eight sections
03:43and 16 pins and the first thing i noticed that
03:49when you try to turn the volume
03:53to the right
03:57increase or decrease
04:00that came loose
04:03about a year or two ago
04:05so there's maybe there's a glue
04:09that could stick that back on
04:12but i'm not going to touch that because i had these four screws out
04:16and
04:17what you'll notice the only thing that really holds it on
04:22is you're going to have to take these pins out
04:24and then the whole unit will slide
04:28so you can open it up
04:30and you'll see the speaker
04:32and all the other wiring
04:35so we're going to leave that there for now
04:40and i guess they sold these by
04:45tens of thousands like at walmart or whatever
04:49because i can't find a name on it
04:53now i'm going to try to look
04:55on the remote
04:58get a name
05:08i wonder if that
05:09name is on the inside of the
05:12i do see some
05:14well the same thing
05:20FCC
05:21part 15
05:24i don't want to rip this off
05:28one sec
05:34also i'm taking out the
05:36battery so you can see that blue
05:39see that was
05:40corroded
05:41that was basically the problem
05:44was clean that up
05:45little paper towel
05:47try not to get it wet
05:48but
05:49you're going to make a paste
05:51out of baking soda and water
05:53and
05:55just clean it off as best you could
05:57the best thing was probably an old toothbrush
05:59but make sure it's dry
06:02because you don't want to
06:03get any of the components wet
06:05or you might blow it up
06:20now this door
06:21door here
06:22you've got to put right up to it
06:25see that still won't click shut
06:29right up to it
06:32and now it
06:33now it clicks shut
06:34so for now we're going to put this
06:45as the
06:46model sl
06:50dash 6166
06:53rx a
06:562000
06:57so yeah 25 years old
07:01still made in china
07:05but if you still have these
07:09i don't know if we're going to start making them cheaper today like everything else
07:13but uh
07:15and then if i need to
07:17open this up
07:19you know i pretty much opened it up and closed it
07:24uh if it stops working i don't i don't think there's anything i could do
07:29except for to glue that thing
07:32and then maybe the volume would still work i just kept it on high for now
07:40um okay
07:42that'll be the end of this video thanks for watch and take care
07:47and then i'll see you next time
07:48and then i'll see you next time
