I’m a lot more confident at identifying visibly damaged parts on PC boards after watching a few “Parts-People Dell Laptops Experts” episodes on YouTube. The videos show what a tech looks at under magnification. Might be helpful if you want to do future inspections. @parkergetdean hope things work out well for you, sooner than later. |
@kennyc unlike laptops and cell phones that use SMD components, most high-end audio gear uses discrete through-hole components. Which is good, because SMD is a bear to fix. Edit: except streamers, because streamers are PCs; albeit low-powered ones.

@audphile1 great news on the CD player! @thecarpathian WHY WOULD YOU THINK I DID NOT ASK FOR THE TRACKING NUMBER?WHY? I did. He said: "yeah, I see it, it's a long one brother!" I tried to ask what it is, but he seemed to be inclined to hang up on me. I think I will order one and bring it to him. As for him being imaginary, paid actor, prank, etc. those are valid points. Again, with Robin Gibb's words: the joke is on me. You guys have fun and working gear (boring!), I have my story. |
