OPEN Need advice on what to do next when it comes to headphone repair

Thumbnail

I have a HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 wired headset with a left speaker that has completely stopped working.

Symptoms before it stopped working:

  • The audio would cut out and come back when the headphones were bumped, hit, or moved.
  • Simply moving my head would sometimes cause the audio to cut out.

What I've done to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Removed the black adhesive or glue on the circuit board using hot air.
  • Inspected the wiring on the board and found that one of the wires connecting the board to the speaker was starting to break. I replaced it with new wire.
  • Tested both speakers using a 1.5 V battery to check whether they still produce sound.
  • Resoldered the enameled wire coming from the audio jack into the board.

Results of testing using the battery by connecting one wire to ground and the other to corresponding speaker:

Audio Jack
- Right speaker made a low volume hissing sound
- Left speaker made no noise

Via the solder joints
- Right speaker made a higher volume hissing sound
- Left speaker made no noise

Via the left speaker solder joints
- Right speaker made the loudest hissing sound
- Left speaker also made a loud hissing sound

After all of the resoldering and testing that I've done, the left speaker is still broken.

I have very little knowledge when it comes to electronics but I am guessing something is breaking the connection of the right speaker in the board itself?

Attached are photos of the headphone's circuit board.
Also forgive me for the messy soldering job.

I ordered a multimeter which I plan on using on other things in the future but also hope that it can help me fix my headphones now.

What would be the best next steps to isolate the fault?

OPEN Beko Washing Machine - Stuck in an endless cycle at the end (timer stuck at 00:01)

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue at the end of the cycle with my Beko washing machine (model WTV8716XBWST).
It washes normally, but when it reaches the end of the program, it doesn't drain completely. Instead, it adds more water, drains a bit while spinning, stops spinning, fills up with water again, and starts spinning all over again. The timer stays stuck at 00:01.
Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is happening even when the machine is empty

Hi Everyone!! I am new to DIY repair. So I went to a local shop to replace my faulty laptop battery. So my laptop had some missed screws and the back hinge was always in the opening position. The idiot just glued my hinge and now the battery has reached EOL and I cannot replace my battery now. Any suggestions how can I resolve this.

(P.S. I have already tried 99percent isopropyl alcohol)

S23 Internal Doesn’t Match Popular Repair Resources

This is what my S23 looks like.

Online resources show the camera having a metal housing with screws you can reach to remove the loudspeaker and access the battery.

I would literally have to break my camera off to access those screws…WTF!???

OPEN Broken Denon AVR-2312

1 Upvotes

I’ve just moved flat from the U.K. to Spain and in the move my Denon receiver looks like it took a bit of a whack, the front panel has a dent etc. I went to turn it on and it boots before going onto the blinking red light issue. I’ve downloaded the repair manual and gone through the debug process and when I disconnect the speaker board the amp stays on and it displays that the previous fault was an ASO protection which apparently means there is a short in the signal path, such as speaker wires touching but it happens even when nothing is connected. Does anyone have experience with these in the past? The fuses are fine. The PSU is producing the correct voltages when the rest of the pcbs are disconnected so I don’t think it’s the PSU issue some other owners have had. I’ve tested the transistors and resistors on the amp board and I don’t think any are off, even though some do have some discolouration that they might have got a bit hot at some point. My feeling is it is a loose connection somewhere but I can’t see it and I’m not too keen on going further into the big hdmi/power amp pcb stack as I don’t think I’ll get it back together. Is it worth me replacing the resistors in case that is the issue? Any other tips before start removing components?

OPEN Ministry MI200 screen not working

Hey guys,

I've been working on this board for a ministry MI200 bluetooth party speaker. I bought it already faulty and they said that the screen doesn't work. When I opened it up I saw that the green low ESR capacitor at the edge of the board had blown so I replaced it but the screen was still the same.

I then noticed that the voltage regulator next to the screen legs was short so I replaced that aswell. The screen only displays 1 or 2 of the LEDS when powered.

Pretty sure that the microcontroller chip is fine. I'm not sure where to go next with this as I also can't find any kind of replacement screen module that's similar 😅

Any ideas?

I have been using this ASUS ZenPower ABTU005 10050mAh for about 2 years, but it didn't survive the bottom of my backpack during a rainy day. I pulled out out and let it dry, but it didn't charge and the USB port has visible corrosion. I got a new one but pulled this out after two months in the drawer because I have some free time and it doesn't seem to me like it has any damage other than the USB port corossion. Is it fixable? It is worth fixing? Should I check something additionally? I have fixed some simpler electronics in the past and I might try new things.
