    Sunfire sub true sub woofer EQ signature schematic /advice please

    Discovered that input to left or right channel will instigate a rumbling noise from sub , which is still present when signal removed.

    Also discovered that if i monitor the plus 173V across one of the main smoothing caps, which is stable with no signal , but when input provided voltage can fluctuate 152V - 168V . Replaced the cap , which made no difference .

    The minus 173V across the other cap is fine .

    Could really do with some help trying to isolate this issue.

      If the rumbling is a 60hz hum you should replace all e-caps in the 13V supplies in the preamp and power boards.
      The Sunfire sub standby circuit mutes the output until input charges the standby cap, maybe a half second. The cap will not re-mute after the input is removed until the cap discharges, maybe 10 seconds.

          Boston Acoustics HD8 – build quality impressions & DIY woofer surround repair
          by momaka
          Boston Acoustics fans, this thread might not be for you.
          A few years back (~2018 time frame), I picked up a set of free JVC speakers from someone on Craigslist that no one seemed to be interested in. The guy also had a single Boston Acoustics HD8 speaker – yes, just one cabinet. He said he had no idea where he got this one from or why it's only by itself. But like the JVC speakers, it was going to get tossed at the end of that week… so I came to collect, as usual. And that's all I know about this HD8. After all, I figured why not take it and see what's inside… show it to the...

          SMD fuse soldering advice please
          by Ady2017
          Hi all. I need to replace an SMD fuse on my camcorder and this is the first time I have had to do any SMD soldering so your advice would be appreciated. Below is a picture of the board that I am working on and I have highlighted the fuse that needs to be replaced. I managed to zoom in to take this picture but the fuse is really tiny and is sandwiched between other components so this is going to be a new milestone for me. I appreciate that I am going to have to buy a new soldering iron if you could advice on what I need please. I was thinking about putting a big soldering iron across the whole...

          Does anyone have Bob Carver Sunfire Ultimate Receiver Firmware Update 3.22?
          by higuys
          Hi everyone, I posted this over in AVSForum and someone mentioned I should try posting here. Does anyone have Sunfire Ultimate Receiver Firmware update 3.22? Sunfire only has version 3.20 on their website, I was told by one of the few people that worked on these units 3.22 is the latest version but his computer just stopped working. I've emailed Sunfire several times and they won't respond or update the version on the site. Any help is much appreciated!

          In search of advice for flashing bios via efi shell
          by bql
          Hi Badcaps,
          I'm having the same Notebook and problem as in this topic:
          HTML Code:
          https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/3601016-need-bios-for-clevo-pd50pnp
          I'm assuming that flashing the provided bios in this topic would solve my problem.
          The only thing i can boot to is EFI shell
          How do i flash the bios image in the EFI shell ? / Can i use any flash.nsh or is the executable interconnected to the bios image? ( i cannot find any bios related files in the internet...

          Intermittent USB-C / USB-A issues + Trackpad Freezes — T14s Gen2 (11th-gen Intel) — Seeking Board-Level Advice
          by iam5
          I’m looking for advice on board-level troubleshooting and potential component-level repairs for a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 Intel (i7-1185G7) showing multi-domain instability. Hoping someone familiar with this platform (or the related X1 Carbon Gen9/Gen10, X13 Gen2, X1 Nano Gen1/2) can point me toward the right section of the board to inspect, and whether any of the known fixes apply. Symptoms:


          1. Trackpad (CS21 module) intermittently freezes during active use
          • Not tied to lid open/close
          • External USB mouse continues working
          • Sometimes recovers with sleep/wake
          • Looks like
