    Introduction

    Hello everybody
    My name is Sebastian and I am located in London Ontario Canada. I was a pc tech for 10 years and left the business about 5 years ago. I still tinker and hope to learn from everyone here.
    Thank You
    Sebastian

          Hello,
          Nice to see some helpful knowledge on the web. Started working on a few things and found this forum. Look forward to working on a few things I wouldnt normally attempt.
          Industrial machine background electrical/hydraulic/plc/home pc etc.
          I liked the post by one menmber
          ..."Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark [(with help)]. Professionals built the Titanic".
          [added with help].
          See you later!

              Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!
              by momaka
              I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

              For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

              It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

              Customer with SS AMP not used in years
              by Uranium-235
              He has a pioneer SA 608, matching Tuner (TS 608) and Tape deck (CT F600) and a pointless timer (DT 400)...late 70's early 80's from my research

              We're going to try to focus this as a Turntable setup (his turntable is a seemingly cheapo from like 10 years ago...but it does have a phono out), which is at least comforting because the amp has a phono input. It also had a USB port, looks pretty cheap

              I'm trying to go for an all analog here. What is the likely problematic caps? Power? I've never dealt with amps this old and of this type. I replaced them in a cheap yamaha...

              Today I went to a local HAM Radio Festival. It was one of the smaller ones in our area. My stepfather is the HAM operator. I tinker in electronics but am a Software Programmer (27 years now).

              I was looking for a few odds and ends for some electronics work I have to do for the household/farm. Typically these type of shows have the grab bags or a electronics vendor...

              Artist seeking to tinker with electronics safely
              by Hypersapien
              Howdy folks! I'm an artist in the video game industry, and my job entails making a lot of mechanical and sci fi assets. I thought it might be a good practice to start disassembling some electronics to be more familiar with how real electronics are manufactured and assembled, which is how i found my way to these forums.

              When I started researching what tools I might need, I quickly encountered the warning "Some devices can maintain a potentially lethal charge in their capacitors, even up to years after last being powered on", which was enough of a scary thought for me to...

              Yamaha RX-V3900 dim display and turns off
              by Sinnyone
              Hi all,
              This is a repost since I never completed this fix. I just left it, but now the receiver powers off into safe mode and does not complete the Self-Diagnostic when i start with those buttons pushed. It says it is, but does not do the diagnostics and does not show any faults or that it has none, which it should do. So here i am again. The previous post did have a schematic but I think it was cut off somewhere. I do not know what board it is referring to. Any help would be appreciated.

              I have searched through the forums and have not found anything about my problem. So,...
