    Mr. I have the HT-R550, its displays turns off after a few minutes. I am not a certified technician, nevertheless I found out when the Cirrus Logic IC CS42518-CQZ got heat the displays fails... Applying circuit board cleaner the propelent cools it down and the display turns back on AGAIN for a moment... At this point I have the circuit diagrams and I already ordered a replacement chip JUST IN CASE the IC is damaged. I suspect it is not and MAYBE a surrounding capacitor is. I'll try to check the capacitors... in the meantime, I'll appreciate any comment regarding this issue. Greetings, from MX Rodrigo

    Brilliant use of that flux pen!did any of the silicon grease go over the wiper or track?

    • @NearFarMedia
      @NearFarMedia 21 день тому

      I used a plastic safe white lithium grease and yep, put it thinly on the wiper and track, like the manufacturer did originally. That way the track will be lubricated to reduce wear. As a side note, I don't think it matters for trimpots, but avoid using silicone grease in switches, apparently any arcing in the switch can slowly turn the silicon in the silicone grease into silicon carbide which is an insulator and very(!) hard and abrasive....

    To open the shell you must remove the 2 rubber wall hang plugs and the 2 raised stand offs (feet) to expose the 4 screws. Use your fingernails to pry open both sides (left & right short ends) then pry the bottom apart (thinner edge opposite of the antennas). If you want to remove the board there are 2 screws (near lights and wan port) and 2 antenna mounts to remove.

      @NearFarMedia Tell that to Raytheon or Northrop Grumman. Licensed avionics technician. Just giving my 2 cents. QC at any airline would have a heart attack if they saw that. Maybe just ignorance on our end, but we are trained to clean with great delicacy when you're dealing with extremely expensive fiber that cannot be repaired.

    It is possible to buy bulk white toner and fill up one’s own old cartridge. For front panels I’ve replaced the Y cartridge with white, getting CMWK capability. The cartridges can be reordered to get good coverage of white on black etc. It just needs some small changes to the postscript file sent to the printer. Why postscript? So you can fully control what’s drawn with what color. Otherwise the Adobe+Windows color management messes it up.

    You seem to skip over the amplitude settings. In fact, you go from shoving a board back in the machine straight to showing measurements without showing us what you did to get there. The % distortion is variable with amplitude so are you measuring distortion at 3V?... because no one has a clue since you didn't show any of that.
