    Re: Faulty IDE to USB adaptor (drive makes funny noise, doesn't detect)

    USB cable shouldn't be too hard, even though it is A -> A rather than A -> B...

    But the IDE cable could be interesting... the header thing is actually soldered to the board directly somehow.

    Any ideas for removal if I need to?

      USB (especially 2.0 High Speed mode) is very sensitive to EMI, try some grounded shielding.

        Removing electrical noise introduced by fan
        by tony359
        Hi all,

        I am working on a sound processor, it tends to overheat so I fitted a fan inside. The fan is connected to the +15V of the PSU via a DC-DC converter based on the LM2596 to reduce the voltage to around 10.5V.

        Unfortunately the analogue circuitry is picking up the noise from the fan in two ways:
        1. The fan is close to the analogue section, the motor itself gets into the outputs so I'll have to move it somewhere else
        2. Even with the fan running outside of the case, there is still some noise which is clearly going back to the processor via power line....

        Onkyo TX-SR805 noise in one channel
        by MegaZAC
        Surprisingly enough, this receiver doesn't have the DSP chip issue. The HDMI board does not get hot, and sound over HDMI works fine.

        Regardless of the input, the right channel has noise that is clearly noticeable even on average volume level. The only cases when there's no noise is when VCR input is selected (some tracks on the board are damaged, maybe that's why), or if HDMI input is selected but nothing plugged into it. In all other cases, even when no input is connected I still have the noise.

        There's some logic behind it. As soon as I select an input I get only left...

        Philips HTS8000 home cinema noise problem
        by courtcircuit
        Hello

        I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

        Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
        Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

        I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board

        Denon AVR 1908, High pitch noise on Surround back Left channel after long overhaul
        by karatzdi
        Hello,

        I know some might say... just buy another one. Sell it as parts..!

        So had this AMP for quite some time. Recently I saw light smoke coming out of the AMP. Had my fire extinguisher close by. Just kidding. Turned immediately all devices off from mains.
        Let things cool a bit, and opened up the amp device. I clearly saw on the main board which hosts the 5X amp (5.1), 3 10 ohms 1W resistors had their leads looking black, while the rest of the remaining 2 x 10 ohms were brownish as being installed from factory.

        Spent some time downloading the Service...
