Re: DVI to hdmi cable help
OOOohhh,,,,,,,
I saw where he said his backlight was inop, but somehow missed the part where his substitute display unit is incapable of receiving the only available input cable type. Sorry, I was thinking he was looking to fix a bad backlight by switching inputs. My bad.
I had to read his post multiple times to finally "get it".

p.s. Sorry about the double post. Still working out the growing pains of a new forum.

Re: DVI to hdmi cable help
I agree with U-235 regarding cheap adapters, but that's not going to make a failed display units back light start being operational.
Unless I'm missing something?

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
Done.
Number Two is finished, and works perfectly.
Looking at the time since my last post, that's how long it takes to fix one of these. Of course it's always faster the second time you do something, but in reality it's an easy repair.
$6 to fix two subs with an MSRP of $1200.
Rock on dudes.
Great thread. Thanks to ALL who have posted.

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
[size=150]SUCCESS![/size]
I removed the old caps and found the bottom of one of them was a little discolored. Looks like some "juice" had leaked out and corroded the metal electrical lead.
In the picture, are four caps, it's the one on the far right.
I replaced them with the two on the left. Note the temp ratings.
The sub is dead quiet with no hum, no buzz. In fact, it's so quiet that I thought I left something disconnected, as it was almost "too" quiet.....

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
OK, gotcha.
Of what I understood of your post, I am incapable of performing.
What I didn't understand.....well......there we have it. haha
Thanks Mr. Nines.
I do believe I'll replace the caps this weekend and post the results.
Good point about the POTs. I've got some of [url=http://www.kpg-industrial.com/products/electrical_cleaner_lubricating_spray/]this stuff[/url] to clean all of them.
Thanks!

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
I thin I see where you're going with the headphone test, however I don't have a pair I could use, much less cannibalize. neat sounding test though.
My thought mehind using the DVOM on the cap was this....On the face of the voltmeter, the cap test happens to be the same knob position as the Ohm check. knowing that, also tells me that as soon as I drop the leads across the cap, the 9volt battery inside the Fluke would be charging the cap. So the digital bard graph on the Fluke that races from near zero ohm into the Mega ohms would...Leave a comment:

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
Thanks Nines!
So was my little DVOM test a valid one?
I've love to perform a A/B test of a mod such as the one you describe, but lack the finances. As it is, I'd just like to get these working so my son can rattle the house and I have an excuse to yell at him. haha

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
999999999,
Thank you (and all) for the replies.
I did not check the caps. I blindly chose these two to purchase based soley on the information I found on the net (here included).
Granted, there's nothing better than a solid working knowledge about what your'e working on, but hey.... <insert nervous laugh here>
Now you have me worried I'm about to do all this for no reason.
I grabbed my Fluke83 and selected the 'cap' setting. With the leads on the caps terminals, the ohms went from near zero to into...Leave a comment:

Re: Subwoofer Power Supply Problem
Hey all.
A fellow gave me two of these Onix UFW-10 subwoofers because of the hum.
Lucky me.
Didn't take long to find this very helpful forum, and thread. Thanks to all for posting. I'll be ordering the talked about replacement caps very soon.
The one item I thought was interesting, was that even though it's the same model number subwoofer (UFW-10), and the same model number power supply (ULW-10), and the same (apparent visual) circuit topology, I find it very interesting our "bells and whistles"...Leave a comment:
