    Wanted: HW-130 Chip Adapters: HW-133-PC44, HW-133-PC68, HW-133-PC84

    I can't see your picture. Do you know the manufacturer?

    Career or Degree in Electronics

    If you don't need a degree, using your knowledge to obtain a job: I'd go with Austin Clark's advice. Free information resources are all over the place on-line and in print form. Just start with something that interests you, and see what supporting information you can find. There are plenty of...

    Display gone

    It sounds like the problem will be with the display itself or the circuit that drives it. I think davenn meant it would help if you could show a picture of that particular part of the unit. Can you trace the wiring from the display to the specific printed circuit board that it's connected...

    Frankenstein's Components.

    I kind of doubt the remote viewing stopped. What I've heard is that they 'viewed' something particularly catastrophic, and it's been taken out of the public domain. Something about a solar flare that's supposed to wipe-out communications, and a lot of humanity. Not exactly 'Frankenstein's...

    Home Stereo , noise & static

    In your case, I'd try moving the battery charger away from you home electronics and to another outlet that wouldn't be on the same incoming power line. Gyrd3's advice is the best. I'm just offering an alternative, that I'd try (if for no other reason than to see if it solved the problem out of...

    Career or Degree in Electronics

    There are plenty of good engineers out there who do both, but I don't know of any 'colleges' that teach both as a single discipline. You get a choice of one or the other for degrees. You'd probably have to take both courses of study for individual degrees in electrical engineering, and in...

    Attaching multiwatt chip

    An adapter socket of some type maybe? Accepts pins of the IC, and fits the pin configuration of your strip board.

    Switch question.

    Sounds like you 'talked' to a salesperson, not somebody who actually knows what the switch is. From the description the seller supplied to you, it sure doesn't SOUND like a momentary switch. I'd look elsewhere. I've seen some catalog descriptions mention, 'retrun to center', when they describe...

    How to use a Side-Brazed Dual In-Line Ceramic Package

    I'm unclear as to your actual physical construction of your assembly here. Harald's advice on 'guarding' the IC is pretty standard. I'm wondering however, if your construction technique is contributing to your problem. You say you have a built-in capacitor pair, a side-brazed ceramic DIP...

    Component identification on Landscape Lighting Transformer

    Do you have any literature from the company that sold the unit? Might they sell replacement parts for it? Is there a listing for a repair service for your model that you might be able to buy parts from? Just some other things to check into.

    Component identification on Landscape Lighting Transformer

    Your picture has a part number on it. What's the company name at the top? JAxxxxx (glare from the light, can't read it) Are the rest of the markings: DN11 15-15Q-1106?

    Noise Activated Switch, with a Difference.

    You sound like you want to this to be a do-it-yourself project for you and your nephew, if so, happy experimenting. I experienced a similar issue a couple years ago with my parents. I bought off the shelf items designed for the need. (No nephew to share experimenting). I bought a telephone-line...

    Wives Say The Damnedest Things!

    Hey CDRIVE. BobK has a magnetic personality. Ask him for some pointers on how to explain magnets to your wife. (BobK, leave out the chapter on electro-magnets. CDRIVE's wife has a big enough problem with rare-earth ones).

    Component identification on Landscape Lighting Transformer

    Can you show us a picture of it? I'm thinking like Minder, some kind of custom transient voltage suppressor of some kind?

    Help with identifying resistor - yet again

    Don't count on it. I'd check continuity on those semiconductors, .... you probably have a shorted one.

    Microwave not powering on???

    That burning smell is not good. Sounds like you've been all-over the unit's insides. If you don't see what burned-up, your transformer is probably toasted. Transformers rarely burn open-circuit. When the windings overheat, the laquer on the wires burns off, and one or more of the windings...

    Flip or mirror a Sony Trinitron

    I accidentally did this when I was a kid. I took two broken identical TV's and made one good one out of them. My family was enjoying the 'new' TV I assembled, until the first lines of text scrolled across the screen, .... backwards. As Gryd3 and 73's de Edd noted, I got back into it and changed...

    help designing triggering device for underwater camera

    Your long and detailed description is pretty good. Any possibility you can get a schematic from the manufacturer, or on-line, or anything on the manual you're reading all this from, that gives a part number, to that IC2? If you can display the schematic here, somebody will figure-out your answer.

    Need Electronics projects for 8 year old

    My input, is to go with the 101-type kits suggested above. Kids are kids. This may be a phase, and you don't want to invest heavily in something that may just be a fad. If your son's interest continues, you'll be adding to his electronics spare-parts box soon enough.
