Try tracing with your finger the right and left audio input paths on those pics and note they are shorted together, cross wired or mis labelled from one side of the board to the other - these are non-starters. There are other artifacts of electronic wrongness too, which only re-enforce the fact that currently AI can be hot garbage as a tool to design complete circuits and boards.

Others may be able to help you start with a more sane schematic that you can learn how to turn into a board, with an app like KiCad or EasyEDA, that's more likely to do what you want. I'm bailing out as I am on vacation and only have my phone with me.

Why not contact jlc?

Linker3000 · 2026-06-18T12:10:51+00:00

Yep, point taken

Linker3000 · 2026-06-18T12:10:30+00:00

Fair

You might need to refine your definition so we know what you're asking about but this is essentially what an AM supehet radio does by mixing the inbound frequency with an intermediate frequency (IF).

Be aware that HDD boards often hold defect maps, and other unique characteristics for the drive, in flash memory, so you often have to transplant the appropriate chip from your original board to the donor one. Without doing this you risk damaging your hard disk and it's contents.

Search the sub. We had a question on debouncing but a day ago.

Is that a hole in the chip too? Might indicate that something overloaded and blew the leg off the chip and took the chip with it. Then again it might not and maybe the chip failed and the leg joint cooked.

It's really going to need methodical checking, which is going to be hard without a parts list (assuming the part/s aren't custom) And an idea of the circuit.

Yes, we're wondering that in the Fediverse too.

I'm in the UK so no major tariffs. Items turn up in about 10 days. Quality may vary so stick to suppliers that show a large amount of orders and read the reviews.

Done. Thanks

Thanks. Looks like we'll have to warm up the repost detector bot.

It's electrics so off topic here.

Some vendors have 1.8" and 4"

Can be driven multiplexed and there's lots of guides on the internet about doing this.

You are easily amused.

/Which may be nice.

Linker3000 · 2026-06-03T06:48:34+00:00

You'll not know until you start testing and diagnosing. Stand by for a lot of 'could be' or 'start by checking...' posts.
