    Fisher RS-1056: Can't Remove Indicator Lamps

    Hello all. I am servicing my Fisher RS-1056 stereo receiver, and am trying to remove the indicator lamp that indicates whether it's receiving FM stereo or not. It seems to be burned out. The disassembly instructions say to grab the lamp holder's base with pliers and pull it out of the grommet holder. After 40 years of use, the lamp holder has gotten VERY stuck into the grommet holder, and I can't remove it. Apart from literally cutting it out, how do you remove this thing!?

    Thanks for the help.
    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

      Just cut out the old rubber grommet, it will need replacing anyway because of hardening.

          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....

          Hantek 365 Remove screen on startup
          by Maxpower3
          every time I open the tool, I have the screen that appears
          and I am always in a hurry to use it so I click and it automatically sends me a link to the manufacturer.

          It annoys me lol.

          2 solutions to remove it.

          Either you remove pic.bmp and it no longer appears so no more links when clicking.

          ​
          or else you can modify the exe to remove the .bmp


          hope this helps users...

          How do I remove the chip from the board
          by gusto
          I am new to hot air soldering. I need to remove one chip from the board. I have a hot air solder and I set the temperature to 350°C. I slowly started heating the chip, but the solder didn't melt. I heated it for about 5 minutes, but the solder still wouldn't melt. I increased the temperature to 450˚C and still nothing. After a while, the board started to change color, but the solder still didn't melt.
          Fortunately, I'm testing it on old network switches to see how it works.
          What am I doing wrong?
          I've seen a lot of videos on youtube and everyone got the solder melted and the...
