    img stage line sta 500

    ^^^^ In English.. Good contribution, you will not also have the scheme of the input and power pcb since I have one that entered 380v and the fan is scorched, which I think is 24v, two rectifier diodes and two others that I suppose are zener and the voltage regulator.

    Electronics Newbie

    Hi Matt, welcome to EP. Starting small and simple is not terrifying and is fun. Spend a little, say £20 or £30 and buy a breadboard starter pack. Plus some 555’s, CD4017’s, assorted capacitors and assorted resistor packs. Some diodes like 1N4148 can be useful too. Obviously LEDs in various...

    RE: How To Turn Off Or Disable Bluetooth?

    Glad you sorted it. BTW, C29 & C17 are capacitors not diodes. C is the clue! Martin

    It's Been a Long Time.....question

    I’m not saying it is static, just possibly. To test it, wrap some tissue around the knob and wrap that with insulating tape. (Keeps sticky residue off knob). And try it for a night or two. Martin

    Repairing a power board for a Vizio P75-C1

    Have a look at the other capacitors near other heat sinks. They are probably very similar or the same. Martin

    I don’t think your magnifying glass works very well! :)

    Art Piece by below novice electrical knowledge

    The EL wire come in various flavours with 5v USB and 12v type being appropriate for your project. I’ll try to add links later. The LEDs also come in various flavours. USB (5v), coin cell batteries and 12V which would be suitable for your project. Again, I’ll supply links later if I remember. But...

    No more Power on piano Shiver KS-51

    The DC jack for power obviously has known issues to have a zip tie to secure it. Check the solder joints on the under side for good connection. Does the DC jack disconnect the batteries when inserted? Check those internal connections. Also, with no power on either batteries or adaptor, check...

    It's Been a Long Time.....question

    Have you got new carpet or similar? Sounds like a static charge. Insulate the knob as a temporary test. Martin

    Finding 3 Pin Audio Jack for Sony Car Stereo

    Welcome to EP, Search for “pcb mount 3.5mm audio socket”. Then look at the IMAGES. You’ll see lots. Edit: The footprint and or pin layout may be different but a little tinkering can solve that. Martin

    Car radio gets only static need help troubleshooting

    Continuity is not a good way to check a diode. Use ‘diode’ setting or ‘resistance’. Have a look here. https://www.fluke.com/en-gb/learn/blog/digital-multimeters/how-to-test-diodes.

    Circuit breaker tripping

    Does it trip immediately when the main switch is turned on and nothing is on that circuit?. Or trip after an hour or several days?. Martin

    Why Do DC Inverters Damage Items?

    As already explained by others, a pure sine wave inverter will work. Is there such a device? Martin

    Creative 5.1 SBS 560, no sound

    Does the ‘creative’ controller have screws underneath?. You will need to open it to test each wire with your multimeter in continuity mode. Each jack has a T, R ,S. Tip, Ring and Sleeve. Stereo has two Rs, T, R,R,S. Most of these audio cables fail open circuit rather than short circuit. It’s...

    Probably NTC. Some PCBs have a reference designator of NTC or TH. NTC (negative temperature coefficient) TH (thermistor). Martin

    Creative 5.1 SBS 560, no sound

    Your first check should surely be the audio cables from the PC to the surround unit. Have you tested the unit on a different audio source? Martin

    Laser Pocket Digital CTV - HD Channels cant be viewed in any form

    I think H264 is a video format. The SD slot is for recording TV. Have you tried a factory reset and then auto scan again?. The TV is standard definition only. Martin

    Bringing an old Stargate console to life - after cleaning

    You can quite easily disconnect each board with the connectors and remove each board for cleaning. I would use a soft (ish) brush to remove cob webs and debris then use IPA (isopropyl) to thoroughly clean the boards. Pay attention to the wires and connectors too. The CRT can also be wiped down...
