Probably everyones worse nightmare is dealing with electrics

Well, if your going in deep you might as well do it right

Just some of the looms I have spread out being inspected, cleaned, and ready to use (These are all race except at the very top which is an SP)



You might of noticed a Silver box to the right side - it's projector #2 waiting to be re-assembled and put back in the bedroom



But before that happened one of the wifes works computers ( DELL ) blew a load of cap's ! A known fault which they didn't bother their butt doing a re-call on - instead if they went pop within 5yrs they would repair, of course this one went pop 10 days after the 5yr deadline :smt013

So it got attacked too


It was in so many pieces I had reached a point of "toad, how does all this go back together again"

New cap's in (14 in total)


Got it all assembled and it fired up no prob's For my efforts the wife took me out on Saturday night for a chiken bar dinner and bevy With the beer on tap I woke up Sunday still drunk and knew it was best to just top it up The hangover hit Monday morning though !

But all in all a good electrical " Spag' Bol' " weekend - one loom fully serviced and posted out with pulsar and F3 CDI , a PC which was going to be binned up and running again and projector #1 in living room doing it's thing

BTW patch lead F3 CDI's with pulsars are on their way - the ZXR750 pulsar makes an excellent replacement with a bit of work

Nicely done, Bill Gates

yeah well done iron man whats next ? i tried to solder a sevrvo on one of my nitro cars the other day and i cant do it its well hard to hold the wire in place and the soldering iron and the solder thought sod it after half hour and used an old servo

Past endeavours have been fully modding my CD player raising it from a £250 player to contend with £1600 players

You want to try removing SMD transistors of a motherboard with out getting the shakes

The main job was removing that white blob thing (clock) and un solder the parts marked with a red dot

and installing what they call a superclock with on-board cleaners and independent power supply

Also replaced nearly every single cap' in it and replaced power reg's for super reg's (Very low noise) , deadened the chassis , added DAC's with power cleaner cap's, shielded the IC's with copper to stop leakage and a small cap' that allowed it to play any CD-R


and that's the short story

What a difference that made so my DVD player got pretty much the same treatment as I have a home cinema so benefits out weighed the cost 10 fold

One of my AV amps has all the circuits I don't use removed the other one I have left alone for now but my analogue amp got attacked and all cap's in it replaced and finally re-wired the internals of my speakers with some better stuff than the bootlaces inside them

PS3 should be next when i get a moment

Solder the wire then solder the join , place together and heat with iron until the melt together - job done

But I have been known to have either the iron or solder in my mouth as a third arm

SMD soldering is the greatest challenge in the world

Takes me back to my college days. . . . . lol

Small Muvafuggin Diodes

LOL

BTW, I profess to know about bikes and their working but have no freakin clue about electronics - just read up on it and do it !
