BT-693 speaker system

[logan_dslasher]

maybe i have a slower (primitive) sound card that's why the frequency analyzer "complained" that it did not detect any sound card.

The CPU dont have a soundcard!

//Staigen

where is the sound card then located?

Hi Logan

where is the sound card then located?

Probably on the motherboard, else it is in a slot! Dont you see that, by
looking at the rear side of your computer?
The CPU is an IC !

Hey Logan

When doing this test, with the screwdriver, also hold your finger at the
metal part of the screwdriver, and dont hold in anything else, than your
body act as an antenna, and you hear a highpitched hum from the
speakers, if they are allright.

Hi Ante

If the speaker was powered when it happend, and maybee a few hours after that, i belive theres not gonna be more damage to it than there already is!

//Staigen

If it’s a glitch in a solder joint or connector it might spark again when you move it causing the spark to hit your face!  ;D ;D

The CPU is an IC !

uhhhmmm.. yeah. you're right. it's just that almost lectures about computers that i have heard about "parts of the computer" labels the rectangular box with all the drives, slots, boards, cards, etc as the CPU..

Hi Logan

the rectangular box with all the drives, slots, boards, cards, etc

That is the computer! If the lecturers tell you that it is the CPU, you can tell
them that they are wrong! Then you also have the periferal furniture too, the
monitor, the keyboard, the speakers, the mouse, the modem, the webcam and
so on.

Hi Stagien,

Why not, it has already thrown sparks around the place once according to Logans mom!

Hi Ante

The spark can have been virtual! She maybee belived she saw a spark.

hi Staigen!

my mom was really freaked out! myabe it have something to do with the fact that most "pops" with electronic devices comes with a spark.. there's no way to tell what she really saw/or did not see..

about the CPU issue, check this out! can you blame me

 

[logan_dslasher]

Don't you think its already time that we should launch a massive "this is not a CPU!!" campaign? ehehe.. i'll take care of Asian countries.. let's recruit more members... ehehehe...

 

[Staigen1]

Hi Logan

I dont blame you, and i have to check this out! Here in sweden it is called
"Dator" and the translation is computer. And i have seen the "large box"
called computer elsewhere too. But i have never, until now, seen it called
CPU, because the CPU is the IC inside.

So folks, which is what? Maybee we all are right?

i guess that could be the conclusion.. so, should i stop printing leaflets about our campaign  ;D    technically, Staigen is right.. CPU is the IC.

let's get back to my speaker.. after i got home last night, i immediately examined the parts.. i really didn't see anything suspicious.. still no busted components of burnt siwtches.. so, after doing that, as instructed, i got the screwdriver to do some testing.. when i was to plug it, i noticed that the female plug has a trace of "explosion" (arrow in the diagram) my plug and wire is white so i can see clearly that there are burn marks on them..

it used to malfunction the first few days i have it.. it doesn't perfectly fit my adaptor (its terminals are flat), its loose.. i bent its terminals in any direction but to no avail.. anyway, i can still position it in the right way that it works fine.. but a little nudge will cause the plug and its adaptor to disconnect.. maybe in that process of bendig its plugs, i damaged it..

but still my mother insists that the spark came from the speaker.. lets say,the two terminals of the plug touched each other, what would happen? it's a short circuit, right?

oh yeah, it have a little transformer inside it ( i forgot to mention this) it has 220 input and gives a 9V output.. its inside the speaker box.. was that damaged?

 

[logan_dslasher]

i forgot to include the image in my last post.. the female plug i have looks like this and the arrow points to where i saw the "burn marks"..

Hi Logan

arrow in the diagram

What diagram, did you forgot to attach that?

it doesn't perfectly fit my adaptor (its terminals are flat), its loose

Wich adaptor?

lets say,the two terminals of the plug touched each other, what would happen?

The power cord?

If the short was in the power cord i dont think the transformer inside the speaker is damaged! Check the power cord, and replace if open or bad! Check for voltage at the transformer, but be careful!

Hey, i just got your picture, replace the power cord!

//Staigen

 

[logan_dslasher]

i gave a thought replasing it last night by removing the power cord from one of our appliances  ;D but i decided i'd consult it first here..

Ok then, i'll replace the cord.. i'll let you know if it'll work.. thanks!!

 

[Staigen1]

Good luck!

Hi Guys,

OK, now you might understand what I meant “me being reluctant to power up things that has “exploded” without first try to diagnose it!” ??  It’s easy to get electrocuted or burn your fingers while unwittingly putting this plug into the outlet! 

I am glad you found the problem though (the way you did)!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[Staigen1]

Hi Ante

Oh, was it that you meant, did he have to put the speaker apart to find that
error. Of course you look for outside damage first.

To Logan:
I dont see you at MSN anymoore, where are you?

Hi Staigen,

No, I meant generally to have a good look at things before power up to be sure there are no glitches as I mentioned earlier. And yes if the core is permanently attached to the speaker unit there is no other way than to open it if you'r going to measure its two wires for glitches! ;D
