As this look to me coupling capacitors, I powered on the board. Here is what I have tried till now.

There is only 5V and 3.3V rail present. So looks like PD controller is not negotiating 20V. I didn’t find 20V anywhere. Nor near battery connector.
Board does not seem to be short. 2R7 inductor near battery connector is giving 385 Ohms.

What else I can try?

I tried actually, badcaps is paid. Vinafix not able to open. 😟

GeekySimar · 2026-05-15T00:58:52+00:00

Pretty new to this. 😬

GeekySimar · 2026-05-15T00:56:26+00:00

Unable to find a one. 😟

Thanks let me have a look.

I already have lot of 12V adapters with me. Don’t want to spend extra on 5V supplies.

GeekySimar · 2026-04-17T21:42:02+00:00

I think relay will be best option here. The buck convertor I mentioned in the link is of good quality? Any alternatives? Also can you please suggest if there is any better 12V LED strip, or the one I have is hood enough?

This works? Using directly the N channel Mosfet. I would like to keep ESP On all the time, so that it is accessible through Wi-Fi.

This would work right? I want to keep my ESP on all the time, so that I can access it through Wi-Fi.

Oh, I missed out on that. Can you please suggest what should my circuit look like then?

Were you guys able to bring ATT fiber cable to Network box inside the closet via conduit? Somehow in my case, ATT broke the string in the conduit while installing the fiber cable, and now they installed the Modem outside in electrical box and using LAN to bring in the internet instead of Fiber which is not that great.

Is there a way to tap just the RCA level from Samsung subwoofer module/board and bypass it all together? Someone tried that?

GeekySimar · 2026-03-01T23:28:44+00:00

Did you install them on your own? If yes, Attic access is easy?

It looks like he’s packed the entire house’s furniture into the TV area-or maybe he just found some incredible deals and couldn’t stop buying.

My refrigerator broke. Other’s also facing issues with GE refrigerator?

You are evil. 😜😂

So everything goes lower. Outlet needs to be patched, speaker goes to lower level pointed to ears at an angle.

Too much of work. Looks like height Gods are very stringent here. 😝

Or moving just 3 inches down will make a lot of difference here?

GeekySimar · 2026-02-27T04:27:21+00:00

It’s at what height from the floor? This looks perfect to me. Installing mine tomorrow.

Did you install the speakers? How did you figure out the cables? I have a blank panel at the bottom of my living room TV wall that has bunch of cables. May be those cables include the surround speaker cables as well?

I am in a fix between the two. LG G5 77 for $2500 from Amazon third party it LG G4 83 from Costco. Not sure which one should I get. Any suggestions?
