    Henry 2K Amp Repair, sticky switches. FIXED

    Hi guys,
    A client was having issues with the meter switches on a big ham radio amp.

    He got in some spare switches that were not an exact match. The OEM no longer stocks them.

    I get out there and discover this.

    Either way, the thing got fixed with about four drops of 3in1 oil, the switches were binding, not bad.

    Some photography for ya.

    Very often the best fix is the least fix.

      I'm no longer active, and never was much into HF or amplifiers, but that said, that's one fine lookin' amp!

      Not sure I'd have used oil, maybe silicon or lithium spray, but hey whatever works.

          Samsung UN55NU7300F Curved TV. Half side backlight out. Fixed by just removing the rear snap cover
          by howardc64
          TV was fixed just after removing Samsung's rear snap cover.

          This curved TV's construction is rather interesting. When the snapped on back is removed, rest of the TV will relax the curvature. Top of LCD panel is loose as it wants to straighten out against the slightly curved bezel. Snapped back provide most of the curvature shape. So just simple disassembly of rear cover will allow the rest of the TV frame to relax its curvature. Thats probably what fixed it but no idea which connection. 4x LEDs are edge lit.

          Maybe PSU->backlight connector didn't have a good contact?...

          A1312 (27” iMac 2009-2011) A1407 (Thunderbolt Display) A1316 (Cinema Display) Display Black Screen Repair

          Problem

          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

          Vizio M65Q7-H1 Red Vertical Strips fixed by tape blocking LC1 signal to half of the panel
          by howardc64
          Failure Symptom



          No picture, just red vertical stripes. Google search shows quite common problem for these recent Vizio M series although red vertical stripe pattern may differ. Some call it "Netflix" boot screen haha.

          Where is the short?

          Panel has 4x buffer boards. Quickly found the 1/4 panel buffer board with the problem by selectively disconnecting buffer board flex cables.



          Having recently fixed another Vizio with similar symptoms that was a shorted ESD diode array ( link ) Probed the ESD diode array but...

          2 Belkin KVM switches have dim VGA output
          by MrCreosote
          When compared to a direct VGA connection, these 2 switches both output a darker image. The switches are:

          4-port Omniview Pro2 f1dz104t
          8-port Omniview either f1da108t OR f1dz108t (look and function same, OSD may be only difference.)

          The 4 is dimmer, the 8 is massively dimmer - both with same AC adapter and cabling.

          AD ADAPTER:

          There were issues with previous AC adapter, it failed during lightning strike that blew up TV and other stuff and tripped a 15 amp breaker in the main panel which also had a whole house Cutler Hammer surge...

          Hisense H60N5705 automatically switches off
          by _max_
          Hisense H60N5705 installed in a conference room, turns off automatically a few minutes after being switched on.

          Problem occurred suddenly, during a video conference. Switched on again by the remote control, it continued to work for a while and then switched off again.

          Power cable and HDMI cable checked.

          No changes by connecting the TV to another source but, even if it is left on the OSD menu, it stays on for a few minutes and then switches off.

          So they took the TV (a 60' which is not easy to handle) to the lab and asked me to check it.
