    Can You Identify This?

    :) Yep. It sure is. But when that is the only way you have to do things, because I DON'T have a schematic, that is what I have to do. I am limited to the test equipment I have available to me, which is the stuff I would need to test most components at the component level only. Multi-meter...

    Can You Identify This?

    Oh. Got it. I removed both of them and they both tested out good as caps, so I can keep looking.

    Can You Identify This?

    Thanks, Martin. Now that you have identified them, I am finding them very easily now.

    Can You Identify This?

    Dodgy? Does that mean I would be able to tell if they were bad because I WOULDN'T be able to read the numbers on the casing?

    Time Bombs? What sort of "problems" would they cause?

    Can You Identify This?

    Hi all, can anyone tell me what this is? I've looked for something similar, and plugged the numbers in a search, without luck. There are two of them right next to a multi voltage output voltage regulating component on an auto radio PCB. The numbering and markings you can see are the only...

    Delco Radio CDM Troubleshooting and Component Identification

    Thanks again for the reply. The voltage issue on the truck is simply because it isn't driven regularly and the alarm system tends to draw the battery voltage down. It charges fine and holds the charge after being driven. I have searched for a schematic or a service manual for the Delco CDM...

    Delco Radio CDM Troubleshooting and Component Identification

    Thanks again guys. As stated earlier, ALL of the electrolytic capacitors on the CDM Board and the Control Head Unit (CHU) have been replaced with quality replacement caps that were tested before installation. I'm fairly confident the Caps can be ruled out. Today, I removed the CHU and...

    Delco Radio CDM Troubleshooting and Component Identification

    kelly_eye and Martaine2005, thank you for the replies. I did initially suspect the control head contacts as well, however, when I was first checking into repair possibilities, I was advised by the repair facility that the CDM was the problem component. That was the component they wanted to...

    Delco Radio CDM Troubleshooting and Component Identification

    Hi all. I have an original equipment Delco AM/FM Stereo Radio from a 1994 Chevrolet Full Size Blazer (I bought it new) that has recently started to give me intermittent problems. About a month ago, the issues were sporadic and tolerable and would solve themselves with a power off and back on...

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    I think I would have replaced the component that tested bad with the same replacement to make sure the thing worked again, before I started messing with anything else. You do know the original was an "IRFP260," right? I haven't checked compatibility, but all of your components you listed are...

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    I agree. And that component is very easy to source, so I don't want him giving up too soon. :-)

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    The "hole" I am talking about appeared to be by the top most pin of the component in your first picture of the the then circled (squared) photo that was edited by someone else (Mr Kapp) up there ^^^. If you can take a close up pic of the larger of the three components (the IRFP260) of the back...

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    Oh, when I looked at the picture you supplied of the component off of the board, I thought you did fine. The board just needed a bit of cleanup and the new component would have soldered back in. No worries about the soldering though, we all had to learn how at some point. So are you going to...

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    Oh. I thought YOU were the one who had removed the component from the board. Am I mistaken? I had mentioned it in an earlier comment way up there somewhere. ^^^^^

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    Just curious. Was that a hole in the back side of the IRFP260? You have it right side up in the picture now. I know you did say it was faulty already.

    Have you ever gotten "lucky?" (when repairing electronics)

    With me, I keep replacing components until the thing works again. I've spent a lot of money saving a lot of money. :)

    blew out a battery capacity tester. where to start?

    Looking at the photograph, the largest component circled (squared) in red appears to have a hole near the top leg in the black plastic part of the component. That may be where the "spark" emitted from the device.

    Help with Casio keyboard not working

    I noticed this thread did not come to a successful conclusion. In looking at post #33, the solder connection above the two white wires near the upside down "B" looks odd to me. Anyone agree? I do remember the OP saying that he checked every solder connection though.
