    help needed to repair an electric blanket heat selector. Fuse blown?

    There's a possibility. The store refused you, but if you've still got the paperwork that came in the package with the blanket (and even if you don't), maybe you can contact the manufacturer and try to get the blanket fixed or replaced. The store warranty is very limited, but the blanket...

    Help identifying Component

    I was thumbing through the newest Newark advertising I got, and I see your device in it. It's labelled EPCOS NTC Inrush Current Limiters. You should be able to find it on the Newark website now.

    Foxconn JA23332-810

    Well, obviously Foxconn website is where the datasheet problem starts. I checked GonzoEngineer's supplied website directly to Foxconn, when you click on the 'spec' tab to get the data sheet, you get a blank title page (and I'm on a different computer, so it's not ME). Thanks for the...

    LM358N and LM358P

    The suffix denotes the manufacturer's packaging code. The 'N' is used by most manufacturers for the plastic 8-pin package. The 'P' is used by a few manufacturers for the plastic 8-pin package. Raven Luni is right, there is NO difference between the two devices, just the mfgrs.

    Foxconn JA23332-810

    Does anybody know where to get a data sheet on this audio jack device? Foxconn JA23332-810 I tried datasheetarchieve. It shows a small copy of the data sheet, but when I click on it, alls I get is a title page from Foxconn, with no data on it at all. (Maybe my computer settings?) This is...

    oscilloscope problem

    Yep, as already pointed-out, I'd be seriously looking at the power supply. I have on occasion seen this happen with the vertical control circuit. Bad cap usually, or a leaking semiconductor. Can of freeze-spray on this job might help you find the fault faster. Heat related, so freeze spray...

    Nav radio, should be easy fix?

    Didn't you get a red plastic tube with the can of freeze spray, so you can direct the mist with pin-point accuracy? (You push the tube into the nozzle) Don't even consider toasting your board, there'll be all kinds of plastics in there and you might do even further damage to the components or...

    the jurassic park switch?

    It's a standard external power breaker switch for an electrical control box. You'll find a wide variety of types in electrical (not electronic) supply catalogs. They should be easy to find on-line. Electrical power control box, power breaker control box, something like that. Somebody will...

    Help finding the right bits

    It's just a 'momentary-on' switch. Look 'em up in a parts catalog, or Google them.

    You can check that slider switch for continuity too. Maybe an open circuit there?

    help needed to repair an electric blanket heat selector. Fuse blown?

    Yeah, I'd check under the white gunk, but what little I can see of it, makes me think it's another resistor. You shouldda taken the thing back to the store even without a receipt and taken a shot at returning it. How do the connector pins/sockets from the controller to the blanket look? Did...

    Nav radio, should be easy fix?

    The repair shop guy probably knows his work. But he's given you a diagnosis over the phone without even looking at your radio. He probably is familiar with the problem and gave you the probable cause. He's probably right. He might be wrong. I'd find the defective part before I turned my...

    What Devilry Is This??

    Maybe the colonies just don't get the British humor. (I'm in the US) (Maybe the Aussie moderators who run this site get it?) All's I know, is I'm specifically not on all those other sites, because people want to jeer the posters. I appreciate this site, because there's virtually none of...

    Nav radio, should be easy fix?

    The freeze spray will find the bad part (which fails when it's warmed-up) The instant cooling of the IC with the freeze spray, will cause the IC to temporarily start working again. That's how you ID the bad part. Once you've identified the bad part, post the numbers on the device on this...

    What Devilry Is This??

    I've read some of your previous posts. Pal, YOU'RE the joke. People come here asking for help with questions that aren't as easy for them to understand as they appear to be for you. Insulting and harrassing them for asking, isn't want some of us are much interested in reading.

    Nav radio, should be easy fix?

    Buy a can of 'freeze spray' from an electronics parts supply store. Extend the radio power cord so you can have the radio chassis open and where you can get at it (you don't NEED to hook up the speaker). Or 12VDC power supply on a workbench. When the radio warms up, pin-point each component...
