Re: Altec Lansing iMT320, badcaps!

I have 10 silver screws (6 under the speaker screen, 4 at the bottom under the pleather portion), 2 small screws by the batteries and 3 screws holding the bottom pleather to the unit.

I did plug in the wrong AC plug and that's when the buzzing started. Batteries do the same thing so I'm wondering if it's the two small caps/diode looking things at the bottom that is stopping power from getting to the larger caps? Ideas?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I am a new member also brought here while doing some search on Google. My latest demon is this Altec portable speaker that either has a bad cap or diode maybe as the unit started having just a buzzing sound when I accidentally used the wrong AC/DC power plug. Grrr!

I'm from Wisconsin and am a diesel shop supervisor by trade. I do have some electronics technician schooling as well as low voltage wiring/networking experience.

Have a great day!
