Components as MOSFETs, BJT’s etc have to be always out of the circuit. Even with capacitors it depends on the circuit. I am using the Peak DCA Pro and even with that the component has to come out.Leave a comment:

Digikey USA does not have these in stock so you should be able to change that order. Not sure in what circuitry you are going to use the non polarized caps in, but in general you can use non polarized caps in polarized circuits.
Rubicon NXA = non polarized.Leave a comment:

Many years ago I had repaired the similar issue on a lightning struck Panasonic. It would turn on for a split second and then turn off. It was the HDMI IC that was shorted and got hot fast.Leave a comment:

Maybe less visible, but 100% gone? I have some doubts… but maybe give it a try. You got nothing to lose.Leave a comment:

Well, my position is this: would I pay $159 for a headache? Hell, no!
would I take the opportunity as a freebie or ten bucks and have a go at it? Yes, I would.
After all he is trying to sell you something broken. For less than $320 bucks you can buy a new one with warranty, To me it’s a typical eBay rip off sellers taking advantage. Put it this way, he either has to pay someone $160 bucks or more to fix it, or he doesn’t recoup any money and puts it in the e-waste
. 
Make him a $20 offer.

i figured out why my mower was mowing so shitty. The blades were bent! Had to order a couple of new ones. Funny you say shrimp... The last time I made shrimps, the whole table got quiet, no left overs and got request as birthday meal. lolLeave a comment:

Not only that. Now it is also the programming software. You need a dealer account, then log into motorola with your account, then purchase what you need, verify your credentials on the motorola server, then you can activate your entitlement on your programming software. Oh, yes... and verification emails too. Crazy @$$

Motorola Minitor V pager no audio / sound repair
Got a bunch of Motorola Minitor V pagers from Fire Departments here trying to fix some out of the non working ones. These pagers are known for either no sound / audio or they don’t charge. The internet is full of suggestions like metal shavings inside the speaker?
Anyway so I took one of the Minitor’s apart for my amusement in order to see why that is and nobody can fix em.
There are no service manuals or schematics for these that I know of. However… I did find the problem!
On the main board of this unit where the speaker connects to there is a metal shield.... -
Yeah… more BBQ and
on the weekend. Work was crazy today. I did cheat and started mowing, but must my blades are so dull, I might as well mow grass with toe nail clippers.

Now replace that 68k resistor and make sure the traces are good around that area.Leave a comment:

Take it out or lift one leg and check that diode again. Diodes should read to 99% one way but not the other, unless it is a bidirectional TVS diode.Leave a comment:

Could be worse. Not sure when I get back to the TIG, but it’s not happening the next 2 weeks… maybe on the weekend. It’s firewood splitting time and got to mow my fields off.Leave a comment:
