How to Repair Computer Speakers Power Problem

How to Fix Computer Speaker

In this video explaining How to Repair Computer Speakers Power Problem those can easily find out the problem where can occurs by using this video tutorial by conducting simple steps. If your audio devices such as computer speakers, home theatres, and all electronic equipment can fix problems in the following manner.

  1. First, we should check the power cord before going to open the circuit, plug in the power cord and switch ON the supply. Now check the output of the power card by using the multimeter by selecting AC 750 voltage Range and check it.
  2. Check the output of the Transformer ( secondary winding) if it fails then the output voltage shows Zero. then we should change the transformer, the voltage rating must be the same.

In many small electronic devices failure damage of T/F, transistors,  capacitors from improper voltages ie. input voltage is greater than the required voltage.

FM Transmitter Bug Circuit Diagram Using BC548 Transistors

FM Transmitter Bug Circuit Diagram

 

FM Transmitter Bug ckt
FM Transmitter Bug

 

This small FM Transmitter Bug Circuit Diagram uses a Hartley type oscillator. Normally the capacitor in the tank circuit would connect at the base of the transistor, but at VHF the base-emitter capacitance of the transistor acts as a short circuit, so in effect, it still is. The coil is four turns of 18swg wire wound around a quarter inch former. The aerial tap is about one and a half turns from the supply end. Audio sensitivity is very good when used with an ECM type microphone insert. FM Transmitter Bug using with BC548 Transistors

AM (amplitude modulation) Transmitter Circuit Diagram

AM Transmitter Circuit Diagram

              radio transmitter block diagram

It is illegal to operate an AM Transmitter without a license in most countries. AM Transmitter Circuit Diagram is deliberately limited in power output but will provide amplitude modulation (AM) of voice over the medium wave band.

The circuit is in two halves, an audio amplifier, and an RF oscillator. The oscillator is built around Q1 and associated components. The tank circuit L1 and VC1 are tunable from about 500kHz to 1600KHz. These components can be used from an old MW radio, if available. Q1 needs regenerative feedback to oscillate and this is achieved by connecting the base and collector of Q1 to opposite ends of the tank circuit.

The 1nF capacitor C7, couples signals from the base to the top of L1, and C2, 100pF ensures that the oscillation is passed from collector to the emitter, and via the internal base-emitter resistance of the transistor, back to the base again. Resistor R2 has an important role in this circuit. It ensures that the oscillation will not be shunted to ground via the very low internal emitter resistance, re of Q1, and also increases the input impedance so that the modulation signal will not be shunted. The oscillation frequency is adjusted with VC1.

Q2 is wired as a common emitter amplifier, C5 decoupling the emitter resistor and realizing the full gain of this stage. The microphone is an electret condenser mic and the amount of AM modulation is adjusted with the 4.7k preset resistor P1. An antenna is not needed, but 30cm of wire may be used at the collector to increase transmitter range. am receiver block diagram

Whenever the rainwater comes in contact with the probe in the above circuit, then the current flow through the circuit to enable the Q1 (NPN) transistor and also Q1 transistor makes Q2 transistor (PNP) to become active. Thus the Q2 transistor conducts and then the flow of current through the speaker generates a buzzer sound. Until the probe is in touch with the water, this procedure replicates again and again. The Simple Rain Alarm oscillation circuit built in the above circuit that changes the frequency of the tone, and thus tone can be changed.

Simple Temperature Monitor Circuit

Temperature Monitor Circuit

This Simple Temperature Monitor Circuit gives an indication using an LED when the battery voltage falls below 9 volts. This circuit is ideal to monitor the level of charge in 12V small batteries. These batteries are used in burglar alarm systems and portable devices. The working of this circuit depends on the biasing of the base terminal of the T1 transistor.

When the voltage of the battery is more than 9 volts, then the voltage on base-emitter terminals will be same. This keeps both transistors and LED off. When the voltage of the battery reduces below 9V due to utilization, the base voltage of T1 transistor falls while its emitter voltage remains same since the C1 capacitor is fully charged. At this stage, the base terminal of the T1 transistor becomes +ve and turns ON. The C1 capacitor discharges through the LED
