    Repair of earphone cable

    We see this question here every other week. You'll find helpful information in a seach of old posts on this website. You CAN save your ear bud set, but it's a lot of careful, tedious work. Frankly, it's better to just buy several cheap sets and discard them when they die. The wire is...

    Tv remote codes

    I think you've got the information you need from the previous posts. Yes. Different manufacturers use different codes for different model units. There is no universal code combination. You need to know which model unit you want the correct code for.

    Unknown Power Inlet

    Yeah. I'd contact B&K or check their website for your model amplifier. I'm not familiar with the European power circuits but you could probably Google electric power connector companies and find what it's actually called.

    TV Antenna?

    I appreciate all the input in this discussion, (even though I didn't start this thread). I'm pretty far from the TV transmiters here. Before the digital signals started-up, I could pull-in four stations with rabbit ears. When the switch came, I could only receive two, and with considerable...

    Car cigarette lighter

    I second Bluejets advice. The cigarette lighter draws a lot of amperage and heat. Being a newbie, you don't want to accidently start a fire. Replace the cable assembly.

    weird pots resistance

    My input is: Are you measuring the resistance of the pot by itself, or are you measuring the resistance with the pot installed in your circuit? (Where you are reading other things besides the pot) davenn gave you the advice you need. The thing I'm wondering about, is if you're measuring...

    TV Antenna?

    Methinks you big-city boys are a little closer to the TV stations than me and Bluejets are familiar with. Cmulls 'myth', isn't standing-up to my practical experience here. But I appeciate his confidence. I'm always interested in people who know everything. I can pick-up two digital TV station...

    Video Goggles

    I'm glad to hear they finally got some of those googles to work. When I was a kid, the x-ray vision ones I bought in the back of my comic books, wouldn't.

    HELP DT9205A MULTIMETER

    Good luck trying to realign those contacts on the switchplate. I never did get the one I took apart back together right. I suppose you can do it if you have a lot of patience and a lot of time. What was wrong with the meter that caused you to disassemble it? If you have a circuit problem...

    TV Antenna?

    The U.S. is using digital signals now. Them old VHF/UHF analog rabbit ears are about useless.

    Stumped - please help identify this connector

    I'm with hevans1944, ESPECIALLY when you know that the the current you're handling is greater than what the connector is rated for.

    Need help on identifying a part

    I think what you're asking for is general information. It looks like a 'surface mount device', often referred to in discussion as 'SMD'. Can't tell from the picture if it's an integrated circuit chip, or an assembly of some type. They call it 'surface mount', because you solder it to the...

    Homemade starter relay sticks

    OK, I guess. Take a look at them after a few uses. Fastening hardware (hex nuts) can be made from, or coated with, a wide variety of metals. You may have installed a type that'll work well for you, or you may have installed a nut made of an alloy that will not last. Good luck with the project.

    Homemade starter relay sticks

    What do they use on an automobile starter relay? Can you salvage those contacts from a junked automobile starter?

    Help calculating combined size of holes in a pipe

    Yeah, I know from my evaporative cooler, that the placement of the holes along the pipe will affect he flow of the liquid from the drilled holes. The pressure/flow out the holes closest to the in-flow of liquid will be greater than the flow at the 20th hole at the end of the pipe. If you need a...

    TV Antenna?

    We're assuming you're trying to use the over-the-airwaves broadcast digital signal. The local stores should be able to tell you what's recommended for your area. Stuff that doesn't work well, doesn't sell.

    Removing IC with rework station but when to grab tweezers?

    As suggested, if you do this often, you might want to find a tool that lifts when the component is free. Different solders melt at different temperatures, and we don't know the temperature your work station is operating at.

    International Rectifier B5CNQ015 (House Number?)

    I'm looking at an International Rectifier part clearly labelled: B5CNQ015. It's not on the IR Homepage website. I assume that means this is someboy's proprietary part number. Does anybody know what this device is?

    sony kv-2921 four blinks led

    The 4-blinks is probably an error code to identify a specific failure. Do you have the maual to look-up error codes? Otherwise, you should be able to get on the Sony website, select your model, and search for error code indications. Once you've identified the correct error code, you will know...
