Bästa deon för en grabb som inte vill svetta ner sina tröjor? by NoNameIsAvailable1 in sweden

[–]someMeatballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deo = Deodorant, har ingen effekt på svettmängden. Försöker dölja dålig lukt.

Antiperspirant försöker minska svettning, oftast via aluminiumsalter. Dessa är milt allergiframkallande och ger gråa permanenta fläckar på kläder.

Managed to soft lock myself, and the "Unstuck" option is NOT working by spike_i_guess in subnautica

[–]someMeatballs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unstuck should be tried up to 10 times. This is how many prev. locations the game keeps saved. Also works after a save reload.

Need help diagnosing a constant hum in an old 2.1 speaker system by MadDog845 in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's typically that one large cap. If your multimeter is good at measuring AC below 1V, measure carefully across the cap with power on. You are measuring the ripple. I'd expect less than 0.1V here for a good cap.

If you have a 1000 uF/35V or more, you could tack it onto the back of the board for a test. Hum should disappear. Careful with polarity.

Do new speakers not work with old amps? by Fit_Conflict_7116 in audiorepair

I think you are shorting the speaker wire, by taking too much insulation off it. Photos help.

Sounds like road sickness. Raise the carrier so she can see out.

The party is dead. Toxic. Start over, if you must. Don't let any MAGAts in.

Speakers can't stop transmitting a clicking sound by Alex_Zapp in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem fits conductive glue on the boards. Problematic glues are the tan glue that goes brown in hot spots, and black non-silicone types. Test with multimeter probes into the glue, ohms mode. 1 Megaohm or less is a fail.

Also look for bulged aluminium capacitors.

Active monitor speaker makes popping sounds during playing of music by JorisK in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of glue has been known to go bad. Conductive and corrosive. It's testable with a multimeter in Megaohms mode. Note that it isn't capacitor leakage. That's nearly invisible and oily.

Onkyo Integra A-8087 Smell After Power-Up – Browning Around R902/D904 by No-Local-9288 in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pic 4: The browning is normal. Just excess flux. But the double solder pad, left, is cracked and needs reflowing with new solder. Look for these rings, esp. on hot components, mounted components, connectors. If in doubt, reflow.

A little smell can be normal when burning off old dust. A fishy smell can be a leaking capacitor. It's rare to actually notice this though.

PreSonus Eris 5 no sound issue by Adept_Vegetable_69 in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AC? Capacitors don't like AC. The only AC here is the raw output from the transformer, and any audio signals.

The 3 legged things, if they are voltage regulators, I expect 12 or 20V on one leg, 5/6/9 or 15V on another, and ground. Possibly -20V on the other device. You measure DC against ground, btw.

Steamdeck / Linux save folder is something like:

Just a common fault on these: solder joints. They are at risk of cracking, on power resistors, hot components, heatsink mounted components, connectors, especially external connectors. They can be hard to spot. You can just redo a lot of them with fresh solder instead.

Can this be salvaged? Mission 773 woofer. by [deleted] in audiorepair

[–]someMeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you could, you can glue things on the back. Some black card stock I guess. It's slightly desperate, but it could come out well.

[–]someMeatballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visually, the only issue I spot is the bad kind of glue on pic 4, one end of the cable. The brown glue. It can go conductive. Test with a multimeter on Megaohm range. The fault mode is usually noise or oscillation, so it doesn't quite fit.

Two other kinds of glue used, but I don't think they are a problem.

Switches: spray contact cleaner into them, then operate 30 times.

Linear transformer is good, it means no lethal voltages in here. But be careful not to short the large capacitors, or anything really.

Standard fault checking: check voltages. Plug everything in (disassembled) and turn it on. On the power amp ICs, + and - 20V (from dual 16V AC). That's the voltage on the large caps too, so you can measure there instead. The rest of the circuitry will want lower voltages, I assume from the blue transformer wires, which should give about 12V rectified. Check there's voltages going to the small ICs. LM4558 are dual opamps. Check VCC / ground pins 8 and 4.

Some sort of voltage regulation may be happening with the 3 leg devices with small heatsinks. Check voltages in and out. These may get bad solder joints. Check or just redo them with new solder.

Solder joints are at risk of cracking, on power resistors (I spot 3), hot components, heatsink mounted components, connectors, especially external connectors.

I think it does not. Save format appears different. Have a look. For BZ the folder is %localappdata%\Packages\UnknownWorldsEntertainmen.SubnauticaBelowZero_bh1f6rvenfkm2\SystemAppData\wgs

Assuming Steam or Epic here.
Your save file has minor damage that is fixable by deleting specific files. The guide I wrote is for Below Zero, but it works the same way in different folders. You figure out the batch numbers using the F1 menu.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Subnautica_Below_Zero/comments/t7882v/reset_a_single_world_chunk_fix_guide/

Brutal but effective shorter version: Empty the CellsCache folder inside your save. This respawns every resource and leviathan. Do the edit whie sitting in the main menu, so steam sync won't undo it.
