  • The USB 2 version is printed on the board "HD TO U2_V1.3 2020.10.19."! Furthermore, there is a completely different component placement on the board and there is no heat sink on the CPU. I also have two of these capture cards, which have the same housing, but are differently populated. In addition, the version imprint on the board is also missing on mine.

    Good to see you back David, another great video!! I do need one of those, they look so handy!
  • @jerril42
    Hi David, it was great to watch you again. Good job :)
  • @simontay4851
    Ive repaired the USB plug on flash drives before. To make it absolutely solid, i scrape off some of the green solder mask on the back of the board with a flat blade screw driver and bridge the gap between the board and shell of the USB plug (shown at 16:05) with a small piece (2cm) of used solder wick. Its a hell of a lot stronger than just soldering the support pins on the side. The USB won't ever bend again .

    Great job Wavid! I've been using one of those to capture vga from my current project.
  • @maicod
    nice seeing a new video David !
  • @roadeycarl
    Nice repair. Great to see you're still tinkering!
  • @tuncfreeman
    Good soldering skills you got ! I am repairing a version of this pcb now. Very small and hard but I’ll do it.
  • @fredflintstone1
    I like the wagic wand of Flux, no need to waste any :-) nice to see a video from you Wavid ;-)
  • @tjjubjub
    wow I can't believe you managed to fix it that easily after I smashed it, next time I break something I'll come straight to you
  • @bollie9752
    Nice to see you again. A finished project is enough qualification to join the maker cast. Hint hint
  • I don't think electricity has been upgraded since version 1. So the wiring should still be ok, new wiring works well as the electrons don’t care if it’s Black and Red or Blue and Brown coloured wires.

  • @TheDefpom
    Even the USB3 versions are only USB2 !
  • @Hackvlog
    Seems to have USB 2.0 chip inside. I was quite surprised they actually used a real USB3 plug instead of just blue USB2 plug.
