    Is it possible to replace a single speaker with an aux port?

    Before I dive into this crazy project I want to know if I'm missing anything major. I have an old radio with a built in speaker that I want to continue to use. The catch is, the speaker is blown. Can I simply wire in an Aux cord and plug the unit into a different system?

    Finding the right switch

    I'm trying to add a bluetooth module to an AM/FM radio in the least destructive manner possible and I feel like I have one last obstacle to overcome. I want to replace the existing rotary switch with one that you can also push in to activate another function. The original switch has a detent...

    Adding bluetooth functionality to my speakers

    There are a lot of questions involved with making this work. Lots of little things to overcome. Are you wanting to add an Aux Out port to the Bluetooth module so you can just plug the big speakers into it, or are you wanting the Bluetooth accessibility in addition to the Aux capability? Keep...

    What readings to expect from a DMM's Cap setting

    I have a complete rookie question about this Digital Multimeter I just bought. It's a Southwire 10040N and it has a CAP function that reads in microfarads, nanofarads, etc. The confusing thing is, most of the time when I check capacitors I get wildly different readings than what is listed on the...

    Help on repair Yamaha RX-V496 - won't turn on

    Actually, after reading this post, it sounds like a transformer may be able to put out a lot more voltage than I would have guessed while not under load. Let's start over a bit. What's the model number of the receiver?

    Help on repair Yamaha RX-V496 - won't turn on

    I would definitely recommend not powering the unit on again until we can figure out how to get the AC24v back down to AC12v

    No AA battery terminal connectors in battery compartment

    I think the clear stuff you're referring to is just hot glue to keep the tension off the solder joint. Exercise bikes tend to have a lot of movement and vibrations that could potentially break the joint if the wiring was allowed to move around freely. I bet if you were to look at the other side...

    FLUKE 199C - no channel traces

    Sounds like a tricky one. Other than taking good care of the unit, what makes you think that it is not the input chips? I think we can both agree that they should stay working when treated right, sometimes chips just fail. Either way, here's a service manual that we can start with: Service Manual

    Need a little help guys..

    According to techwalla.com: "An F61 error occurs on a Panasonic home theater system when the speaker cable wire connections are wrong. This situation is likely to happen if you just purchased your unit or moved the system and try to reconnect the speakers again. Polarity is key in a successful...

    No Audio on Vizio Sound Bar

    Are you testing with a configuration that has worked in the past? I.E. has that exact phone worked correctly with that exact sound bar in the past? Also, have you tried the standard Vizio troubleshooting here?

    Battery help!!!

    Raspberry Pi batteries tend to look like that. Same voltage, more than twice the mAh. http://www.gearbest.com/raspberry-pi/pp_603488.html?currency=USD&vip=760238&gclid=Cj0KEQjw6LXIBRCUqIjXmdKBxZUBEiQA_f50PmP8-jq27dM79yJuaD2WhlgLxPm5ubFCKGbyA5x19nQaAr0r8P8HAQ Not 100% sure on the physical size...

    Can I see a picture of these boards to get a better idea of how they're supposed to be connected together?

    The first thing that comes to mind here is I hope that was a single-sided circuit board. Can I see a picture of the circuit board(s)?

    Also, not sure if this will help with your current question or not, but I did find a service manual for an 2002 - 2006 Acura RSX http://www.mediafire.com/file/7v7pgbb5wacoe1d/Acura_RSX_2002-06_Service_And_Repair_Manual.pdf

    Need a little help guys..

    What model are we working with? I would definitely start by checking the connections between the front panel and the power supply. Just a visual inspection of the wires, boards and capacitors may give us a clue as to why it's not working.

    I'm also going to guess that ILL plus and minus refers to illumination (or dimmer), and that the SW means switch. I would also guess that the switch may or may not be a physical one. If the car's display brightens and dims automatically, it may be controlled by these components So, SW-ILL+...

    The "IND" part of "CATS-IND" may stand for "In Dash", but don't ask me to spend my day trying to search google for "CATS In Dash". Heck.. I may do that anyways

    Although, I did find a general question posted on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx1ZBW8VQSAMFYJ/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza?asin=B00I9ASGOK) that makes me GUESS that any of the KEY-* listings are for the controls in the steering wheel.

    I'm really good at guessing, but I'm not very accurate. However, I am looking into getting some sort of service manual that will cover those years of cars. In the mean time, what are you trying to do with the information? Is this for a modification, repair, or just general info? Some of the...
