    My Air hockey doesn't power up anymore? Need Help

    'Everything'? The blower AND the display? Or just some things that you noticed? If you have a problem with the display board itself (the printed circuit board), your brother-in-law may not be able to help with that, ....but the first thing to check is the power supply voltages to everything, he...

    My Air hockey doesn't power up anymore? Need Help

    It's a lot easier to troubleshoot when somewhere is right there, physically inspecting the components, and able to trace the voltage paths. If you have a friend who has some experience troubleshooting electronics, maybe he could tell you what you've got, and if he can't figure it out, someone...

    Playing with fire

    I've seen car batteries explode, cell phone batteries explode, and laptop computer batteries start on fire. I give-up trying to figure-out why. Most of the time I figure it's a short somewhere, but I don't discount the construction of the battery, considering the lack of quality control in some...

    My Air hockey doesn't power up anymore? Need Help

    I think we're a little hesitant about directing you in troubleshooting this because you're 'not that handy', and we worry about telling you how to troubleshoot in following voltage paths. Do you know anybody who works on electrical items that might be able to help you out with this?

    My Air hockey doesn't power up anymore? Need Help

    Take the fuse out of it's holder (otherwise you'll by reading the fuse and all of the circuitry beyond it if you try to read the fuse while it's still installed). Put your meter on the 'Ohms' reading function. If you touch the leads of your meter to each other, the meter will change from...

    Where to find data about LED 155BRP made by AND?

    Maybe somebody who knows something will see this an offer some information. Otherwise, I'll just consider this a lost cause. Christmas is coming, and in the US 'Halloween'. I can probably use them up in some decorative display.

    Where to find data about LED 155BRP made by AND?

    Thanks for the info. Like kellys_eye, normally I would assume this is just another run-of-the-mill LED, the 'disappearance' of any information about the mfgr or part number is what caught my attention. Yeah, if it's a part number for some proprietary customer, I'll probably never find-out if...

    Where to find data about LED 155BRP made by AND?

    I am unsure of their application. I don't know if AND was a fly-by-night manufacturer, or if they were bought by a competitor to eliminate competition. These LEDs may have been simple indicators, or they may have been special-purpose designed(?) I was hoping somebody here might have heard of...

    Beeping from disconnected system

    That's a pretty good battery if it's been holding a charge for 15 years (or has been recharging from someplace for 15 years). I'd consider ChosunOne's advice and try to find out the make and model of whatever system it is. Then locate the power source and disconnect it. You could find the...

    Where to find data about LED 155BRP made by AND?

    Going through my parts and found a bag of 150 T1 3/4 Clear Lens LEDs. The bag is marked: AND Part #155BRP 770 Airport Blvd. Burlingame, CA 94010 (415) 347-9916 When I couldn't find anything about this manufacturer, I checked the address: It's some mega-church now. Has anybody ever heard of...

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    I'll sleep well tonight now that this puzzle is solved. Thanks everybody for helping me out with this.

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    I'll be damned. That company logo is Sipex. I didn't even think of Googling just the device number by itself to see all the companies that manufactured it. Thanks for the insistence that I find the actual part number. I remember Sipex, I sure don't remember ever seeing that logo before. Sipex...

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    The company logo I'm trying to identify is in my initial post. The date code on the IC is 8216. The schematic lists the device itself as DAC346C 12 BP. Hope that helps trying to figure-out who the manufacturer was.

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    I don't know when I'll see another one come into the shop, but I do have the manual. I'll see if I can glean the info from the schematic. There was no actual parts list in the manual that I could obtain the manufacturer of the DAC from. I appreciate the help you guys are giving me. This is...

    Pioneer SX 850 Receiver

    It's probably the receiver, but I'll mention this just in case: My Pioneer used to have the loud popping sound occasionally, and it turned-out to be the cross-over in the speakers. You'll probably end-up troubleshooting the receiver, but if I were you, I'd try the headphones if you can get a...

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    Not Mosaic, but thanks for searching Low Voltage. Thanks for the links to check virtual1. Because I've never seen this logo before, I'm tending to think it's a company that wasn't around for very long (or was bought-out by some other company). I'm and old guy. It's disappointing to me every...

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    Unfortunately, Lattice was founded in 1983. I appreciate the search kellys_eye, I'm having a tough time identifying this one.

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    I don't think it's Plessey. It looks like an 'I' with a single sinewave after it. The hunt is interesting to me. I would imagine it was a manufacturer that folded (or merged). I suppose I'll be looking for an out-of-business' manufacturer. Thanks for the help Alec_t.

    Can Anybody Identify This Manufacturer Logo?

    Me either Harald. I don't have access to it any more, the peripheral was in and out of the shop in a couple of hours. I asked one of the guys to take a picture of the logo, because I hadn't ever seen it before, so I could ask here. This is just a curiosity request for identification. I'm...
