    ProMedia sub woofer dead

    My son has a set of these speakers with his laptop. Recently left for college and when he set them up everything worked except the sub woofer. He's a long way from home so I am hoping there's a simple solution. Cable? Fuse? perhaps.
    Thanks
    Geoff

      Re: ProMedia sub woofer dead

      We need to see how all the speakers are connected, how they get the power supply to power them, how the sub woofer gets it input signals from, etc. Hard for us to tell since we do not have the unit in front of us.
      I hope you understand the request.

          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...

          How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
          by double_DD
          Hi all,

          As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

          I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

          Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

          by disorder
          hello guys,

          history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
          after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
          so i changed it
          now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
          but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...

          i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

          Finding a dead short component
          by Beton
          Hi guys!
          I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
          So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
          I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
          I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage...

          Chieftec GPS-450-AA with dead 20N60C3
          by zunasthegreat
          Hello everyone hope all doing well!
          I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...
