    LED strips not lighting up

    The 151 things, are resistors. I think as already pointed out, no power to led strip, adapter is faulty. But I will add that sometimes boards are covered with varnish/resin. So you may have to use your probes to 'prick' the covering material to get a connection. If you push your meters red and...

    home theater system not equipped with headphone output port

    Hi cellist, Yes, there are some ways around this situation if you are capable (no insult) of taking a part and soldering etc. What unit have you got? It could be as simple as a connector to output RCA's. Martin

    Variable capacitor

    You could always be-friend a good S African man I know called Martin J Lorton. A very trusted guy in the electronics world. You can contact him via youtube 'mjlorton' and ask if he can order for you and re-direct within S Africa? You have nothing to lose!! Martin

    Even for 8 hours use, it's still 32 Amp-hours. 4A * 8 hours = 32 Ah. I think your monitor probably doesn't draw that much current. You could verify this by putting an ammeter in series with it to see. It might be less than 2 amps in reality. Martin

    Farb = colour. So I would guess 'collector'? I am probably way off though. Sorry. Martin
