Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

Just in time - I am away now for a week - all depends on how you are going to use it.
If you will ever want to use the adapter then I would replace the socket.
If you just want to use on battery then bypass the socket all together.
If you take the socket off you may be able to correct the switch problem or replace it with a new one Whatever -you have nothing to lose by taking it off and trying.

However you may wish to do the bypass for now and if it all works on battery then look to doing something with the socket.

Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

to bypass the socket just to see if it works is there any harm in taking the black and red wires to the main board?

Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

If you mean to power straight from the battery - then no harm - I believe the circuitry on that half of the little board is mainly to help cut out ac that might get through from the adapter.

Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

one last thing.........if i remove the socket.......then the batter should work right.....without having to bypass anything.......right?

Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

ok i removed the socket and ...well......i would have thought that this would allow the batteries to do their job............i removed the socket, inserted all the batteries, flipped the switch and .......nothing.........still did not work..........

Re: Dead Hello Kitty Karaoke Sanrio machine

No - dont think that right - the switch in the socket switches the battery on when the
adapter is removed ( But the switch is not working). If you remove the socket and the switch then the battery will still not be switched on. I still think if you just solder a wire from black to black you will be ok
