    Subaru Forester remote

    I think as a RHD vehicle that would be correct. Certainly never seen anything on the car that would indicate origin other than Japan.

    Subaru Forester remote

    Thanks Bluejets. It's a 2005 Forester XT automatic. On the outside of the key is embossed CE0891. ALPHA Corp. COJ12 Serial No 00000. Don't know if the number on the PCB will help. Any other details I can supply?

    Subaru Forester remote

    Got some new CR1620 batteries. Made by Energizer so hopefully good. That will take one variable out of the equation. My plan of attack now is to try and get a datasheet for that chip and read some voltages on the pins. But I'm battling to find any any info on that 4144 chip shown in the first...

    Power cuts and my solar power?

    kellys_eye: +1 for propane generator, great investment. Mine's been going for 10 years, no problems.

    Tested the CR1620 battery with a blue clear led, No resistor in circuit. Voltage drops to 2.7V. Maybe time to get some fresh decent batteries

    Subaru Forester remote

    Thank you very much Bluejets. Still busy investigating, but for starters: L1 very interesting, it's top surface which shows up brownish is actually made up up of very fine gold tracks following the shape of the smd with a sort of Y shaped blank space in the middle of the smd which has no gold...

    Samsung Plasma Tv not power on PS43D450A2

    Could be blown led, but you'd need to open the TV to check the led's. Finicky job See here:

    CTEK MXS 3.8 repair

    St. Edd, took it in to the agents who shrugged their shoulders, said too expensive to send back to Sweden or wherever for repair. Out of warranty

    Subaru Forester remote

    Thanks Bluejets. Which onboard light.? The only one I know of is in the car. The key itself has no light on it. Newish battery pushing 3.1 V. Contacts have been cleaned. Can't see any connection to key for Antenna unless they are using some weird invisible method unknown to me

    Subaru Forester remote

    Thanks kellys_eye. I had looked at that video before and checked my buttons closely. Can't see that they have been violated. But where are the 2 contact points on the button switch?

    Subaru Forester remote

    This remote stopped working one day. The 2 push buttons still click nicely. What can I check to try and find out what is wrong with this remote? Can't find a schematic. Quite keen to fix this as a replacement is over $200 here in SA Apologies, the photos not very good.

    CTEK MXS 3.8 repair

    whonoes: I have removed the 2907 and as you can see on the photo I get no voltage there. Please have a look at the photo and check if I'm doing this correctly. Power is being supplied via bulb supply. Can the 60W bulb affect the reading?

    Ah, found it. My DMM's input impedance 10MΩ

    CTEK MXS 3.8 repair

    Sorry, stupid of me, of course we're working with voltages here. But I'm still lost with the input impedances. Do I need to figure out the impedance of my DMM when in 20 V dc range? It would really help If you could give an answer on this: "I now have some 2907's. Shall I remove the old 2907...

    CTEK MXS 3.8 repair

    Thanks whonoes. I now have some 2907's. Shall I remove the old 2907 and then check on the pads on pcb for signal as you now described in your latest post? I don't understand the bit about input resistance. My DMM goes to 2000MΩ. If I set it to 20MΩ is that Ok or are you talking about inserting...

    @73's de Edd: I still can't see any markings on the 8 pin chip but the 32 pin chip is a ATMEGA88PA.

    shoX mini speaker interconnecting (stereo) cable wiring?

    Something like this: https://za.rs-online.com/web/p/usb-cables/7234815/ Might be a bit short

    CTEK MXS 3.8 repair

    Thanks whonoes. I still have a lot to learn about electronics, so I battle to understand your advice, hence the stupid questions. If I connect one lead to the base of the (removed?)2907 where does the other lead go.? The diode can be seen in the photo, the banded end points away from the resistor.
