    Home Based Income as an Electronics Hobbyist

    “Flogging a dead horse” to imply that one would be wasting their time. I did omit and forgot to mention that a niche market might exist but you’ll have to find it. I prefer the hobby and do so in my own time. I don’t (can’t) repair lots of devices because 1.no schematic available and 2.some ICs...

    Home Based Income as an Electronics Hobbyist

    Hi, In my opinion, I think you’ll be flogging a dead horse. Unless of course you know someone who has their own repair shop and gives you ‘overflow’ work. I am very lucky and have a TV repair shop and music shop that do just that. The difference is that I’ve known them for years and used to go...

    Need help to make fd7 work on yamaha drum module dtx version 2

    As I don’t have access to either units or schematics for both, it’s impossible to say. Start your own thread in vdrums asking specifically about your units. DO say exactly what you tried and HOW exactly you tried it. The more info you give, the better chance of receiving helpful answers. If it’s...

    Need help to make fd7 work on yamaha drum module dtx version 2

    What didn’t work? There are lots of different solutions from stereo to mono adapters, cable swapping, pulling jack out by 4mm etc. I’m a 13 piece Premier owner and haven’t tried electronic kits yet. May be some day I’ll get one. Martin

    Bose QC35 | No Audio on the left side

    Hi, how do the headphones connect to the Bose unit? A 3.5mm audio jack?. If so, I’d suspect the connection at the jack end. Quite a typical failure point. It breaks just at the entrance to the cables strain relief. Edit: just looked them up. Wireless. Check continuity of the wires going from...

    Force Feedback for i.e. Logitech Yoke

    Adding to Haralds spring idea for feedback, have you considered a radio controlled helicopters gyro plus a servo? The gyro puts opposite force on the yaw and can be adjusted from 0% to 100%. The older mechanical gyros can be bought very cheaply now as newer ones are solid state. That coupled...

    One of the LEDs that shows time on my alarm clock is behaving badly -- 7 Segment LED Display

    I would guess the IC is damaged. Try spraying it with a freezer spray, it may well function correctly for 20 seconds or so. If you have a can of compressed air, you can invert the can to get a freeze from it. Martin

    Removing & Replacing IC chips on a PCB

    Yeah, sometimes. But it depends on the jack type. If it’s fitted tight to the PCB, you can heat all 4 or 5 connections whilst gently pulling the jack out. But again, sometimes easier to destroy the jack and cut it out. Use fresh solder on the joints first. This aids the old solder melting and...

    Removing & Replacing IC chips on a PCB

    If you intend to keep the IC, alternating sides with wick is a good idea. But if it’s dead, cut the legs and desolder each pin. It’s much easier. Martin
