    Citronic AC-1USB Output Too Loud
    by Carm99
    Hi
    I have a Citronic AC-1USB.
    When I run a turntable into it and then try to record it. The volume is too loud and distorting. In the red. Mainly 12” Singles. I haven’t tried a CD into it yet. I’m wondering if there is any way to bring the volume down inside the unit itself. Change a part or two. Put a small pot somewhere as there are no adjustments at all in there. I’m looking for the schematic but not found one yet.
    Heres the circuit board inside.
    Cheers

    White screen repairs
    by harp
    To ask here... I have few devices with white screen problem, actualy nokia 2220 and some fuji? camera, and try to understand what is common problem to cause that issue.
    Yes, both devices work everything else probably ok, I mean, I hear intro melody and keypress click sound, DTMF tone, power on off... all ok.
    On desk is nokia 2220 slide, and I check all screen connectors and components arround it, measure voltage drop, but all looks ok. I suspect on slide flex cable, but it look ok and white screen is not interupt while flexing board, pushing conectors, and sliding up down. In attachment...

    Samsung QE50Q60TAU - Horizontal screen lines
    by Runlinc
    Hi everyone, the tv was in a continuous reboot cycle. To get the best screen image i can I taped the VGH and VSS pins on the left side buffer board joining ribbon.

    I am left with a good image apart from the black horizontal lines that I cannot get rid of.

    I cannot find anything on the buffer boards that has shorted.

    Do you think there is anything i can do to eliminate the lines, or are they caused by an internal panel short and the image cannot be impoved.

    Many thanks for your assistance

    Samsung LED UHD TV - Bad Main Board or Bad T-Con Board? Pictures inside
    by E--Man
    Hi All,

    Thanks for reading. Based on the interesting fact that the vertical lines issue don't seem to effect the menus whatsoever but rather everything around the menu regardless of video is shown, I'm trying to set mine whether the issue is the main board or the t-con board.

    Again what's baffling is that the menu is not effected whatsoever. However, any other video displayed regardless of inputs or when no inputs exist exhibits the vertical lines and seem to effect black areas only.

    The lines are green in color when the tv is in "Game Mode" and...

    When plugged in (no battery installed), the battery light on the motherboard lights up and then turn off. When powering on, the same and light and the power button also light up in a white color but no output on the display. It stayed like that for a few seconds before shutting down.

    Lenovo LA-K321P two "bios" chip
    by jasko_jacker
    This motherboard has two chips one is UC4 -> 16MB which contains the main bios without the me inside, in fact if
    use ME analyzer to check, it returns (see pics) "file does not contain intel engine/graphics/indipendent firmaware".
    The second chip is UC2 -> 8MB, it contains ME data (see pics) and other things like PMC. If there are problems
    like power management or ME, the chip to be rebuilt is UC4 and not UC2. Anyone confirm this?
    I unzipped the exe file via this guide on the official Lenovo website

    MacBook Air 13 2014 - Remove EFI password
    by ritalo
    Hello,

    I have a MacBook Air 13 inches 2014.

    I have set a EFI password and I can't remember it : now I want to reinstall macOS and I can't because the MacBook is asking for the password.

    I know how to remove the password with a usb programmer.
    I plug the usb programmer to the motherboard and to my pc with usb, I read the EFI and I save it to a file.

    Then I have to find this value in the file : $SVS because it indicate where is the password.

    But I can't find the value.

    I have attached the file​

    Thank...

    Sony LED 65X9005A shuts down after few seconds - looking for help
    by tec3000
    Hi community! Germany calling I am wondering if you guys can help me out. I have an issue with my Sony LED TV. I've been told this is a good place to ask. Thanks for anyone who will reply and offer advice. Appreciated!

    I have a KD-65X9005A Sony 4k LED TV. For a few weeks I've got this problem where I turn on the TV and within a few seconds the TV starts getting darker until it shuts itself off and I get the 4 blinking error code. HOWEVER there is one exception: Whenever I switch to the i-Manual, a full screen on-screen instruction manual, the TV never turns off. I tested for hours!...

    Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ikb: Comes on and goes off
    by Nagyesz
    Hey guys, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ikb NM-B241 rev:1.0.
    After turning it on, it runs for a few seconds then shuts off completely. No screen, no fan. After shutdown, a red light comes on and off fast. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for days now. It's never been opened up; the Lenovo sticker is still intact.

    (!)I tried with a different BIOS battery, without any ribbon cables, on battery power, without the keyboard, and it's always the same.

    Any insights on what might be causing this?...
