    Original way to use car radio as a garage radio

    I didn’t see this as a question. I thought he was telling a story of how grandpa listened to his car radio in the garage. Especially the part about using a ‘C’ clamp to hold the antenna!. Martin

    HELLO I HAVE 360 CCTV CAMERA BULB NEED HELP

    Have you checked the bridge rectifier?. How does the light work? AC or DC? Martin

    HELLO I HAVE 360 CCTV CAMERA BULB NEED HELP

    You need to check ‘DB’. And the surrounding solder joints. They look terrible. It’s probably the bridge rectifier. Martin

    HELLO I HAVE 360 CCTV CAMERA BULB NEED HELP

    Have you got a link to the specs of the camera? Ohms law might give a better fusible resistor value. But, seems like something else in the unit has failed. Post more photos of both sides of the PCB. Martin

    HELLO I HAVE 360 CCTV CAMERA BULB NEED HELP

    Not even sure if the value or colour bands are correct. Wait for a 2nd opinion. Could be 2W or even 5W. Can you measure the length and width?. We might have a better guess. Martin

    HELLO I HAVE 360 CCTV CAMERA BULB NEED HELP

    I would guess: Green, Grey, Brown, Brown, Black. 5.81k ohms wire wound. But I can’t be sure. Usually the last band (black) means wire wound and (white) refers to fusible. But I must say that the fuse (resistor) is open circuit for a reason. Martin

    I have no idea, please help. Identifying a component and how to fix.

    Here is a similar style for example:

    The switches are side actuated tactile switches. You might get lucky by searching google images. Try tactile switch and then side actuated tactile switch. Martin

    24VDC LED on 24VAC power source. Amateur questions.

    You certainly can use a bridge rectifier. But maybe a single diode will also suffice. Wire in series with one of the AC wires. Or a bridge will have AC and DC written on it. Usually the inner two are AC and outer two DC with + and - labelled. Martin

    What transter starts a kawasaki nijah what dose it look like

    There is no separate transistor on a Kawasaki ninja. They are inside sealed units. Either a silver/grey box or black box. Anyway, a million reasons for any motorcycle not starting. Always start with : Is there spark?. Is there fuel?. Please look up the service manual or Haynes manual for your...

    Tricking Solar inverter

    Here in the UK, we can do our own electrical work EXCEPT new circuits from the consumer unit as that requires a qualified electrician to sign it off. Also, we can’t touch ‘tails’ from the meter > main fuse to the consumer unit. This also requires a qualified electrician. So for the UK, we CANNOT...

    help ID IC used for dusk/dawn controller

    This PIC has the same pin out as in your first post. Martin

    help ID IC used for dusk/dawn controller

    Sounds like a 555 timer. But pin 1 is negative and pin 8 is positive. Pin 3 for output. Could possibly be a microcontroller too, a picaxe or the like. Martin

    Looking for replacement for the connector that plugs into bltouch

    That’s possibly a 5 pin micro JST connector. You may have to measure the pin pitch or simply change both sides. Martin

    Is 2.4A USB on power inverter safe to charge phone?

    Each phone or device will only draw the current it requires. You can supply 100 Amps, but the phones circuitry may only require 1 or 2A and that’s all it will draw. Martin

    Chauvet DJ's DMX-RT playback problems

    Good idea. Possibility that they had a bad batch during manufacturing. Martin

    Chauvet DJ's DMX-RT playback problems

    Have you tried isolating the problem?. Only one unit connected without SDcard and then with a card and scene. Then the other unit on its own with same tests. Then repeat but swap external power supplies. Repeat again with different DMX cables. Martin
