    Lightning VS Home audio sub :owned:

    My father has a very nice home sub that was hit by lightning about 8 years ago. It has been a tv stand since then. I live 500 miles away so i can't yet look at the board. Most conversations with my father about audio equipment end in "I wish I could get my sub to fire up". Anyways... I was wondering what to look for when I get the pictures. I'll post them here also but I'm not sure when.

    Thanks, Jacob

      I'd look for a big burn mark.. that's likely to be the most obvious symptom.

          He had opened it after it happened and said he saw nothing obvious. He also said today if he remember correctly it only has one board, Jacob

              Brand & model of sub?

              No way to be sure until you get it opened and start checking it out.

              It could be nothing more than a blown fuse and a MOV that did its job...

              Or, it may best be suited for the TV stand role...

                  I just had him look at it.. he cant find a Model number... So maybe its on the bottom.. The tv was to heavy for him to lif off by himself. My sister will be there tomorrow I'll have her move the tv. but he did say it had a pf on it and from what I can find onile it may be a "Definitive Tech PF15TL" They seem to be the model of the time. I was thinking fuse also. Maybe I'll have more info later on this evening. Thanks for you help. Jacob

                      Could be as simple as a fuse or as complicated as several components being fried.
                      Also look on the bottom side of the board for foil traces that have been burnt or melted off. You can run fine wires in place of those burnt traces.
                      At any rate, the actual speaker should be good.

                          Awesome thank you. I have not yet been able to get pictures. My father works a lot and is tired when he gets home. Same job for 32 years!. Manual labor running a molder and cutting knives for home base board and crown moldings. I will see if i can round them up Sunday. Thanks again, He works very hard for what he has and I hate to see something he paid $700 for go unused. - Jacob

                                      by samson7point1@yahoo.com
                                      The Problem: This player has a toggle switch to select between Stereo, Mono R, and Mono L. Regardless of the setting it outputs the sound to both the L&R audio jacks. In the Mono R position, the audio output level is normal (from both the L and R audio output jacks), in the Stereo position the audio output is about half the volume, and in Mono L, it's about 3/4 the volume. Something about putting it into Stereo mode is causing the volume to drop significantly and I can't figure it out.

                                      The player processes the audio signal using two different reference frequencies. The "R"...

                                      by ivtec
                                      Hi folks i need some help from the electronics pros on a small audio amp for my old lcd tv that sound is too low on the speakers despite to be on the max volume, i know the issue is on the main board , the only solution is to buy a new board but i don't want to shell out 50 bucks for a board . I have seen in Utube some home made audio amps but i'm weary about those projects, i 've seen a audio buit with an STK audio amp ,. I don't have STK4142, i have STK4273, my question if this is not fake and works can i do it with STK4273 instead of STK4142? thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcTZS5Y...

                                      Hi

                                      I have this Lantec PULSE 386 subwoofer I got a while back laying around awating repair for quite some time. Sadly it's missing it's original speakers which it came with.
                                      After plugging in the mains, the LED on the volume controller lights up. When I plug in the 3.5" jack cable to my soundcard (confirmed to work), I get no audio on the subwoofer (nor the speaker jack at the back).

                                      The PCB is quite simple. There is a UTC4558 amp and two D6282 audio amps. When I put my finger on the UTC4558 I can see and hear the speaker "fart". Although, the left...
