Thank you, will do some Googling and let you know how it turns out. :clap:

Thanks for the response. It now switches off immediately when you press the power button with nothing connected (apparently power supply was the 'original' problem and fixed the first time around). Before, the tuner still worked without hazzle, did not try RCA connections then.

Guys Below the statement of the technician who had a look at my Yamaha AVR: Upon further inspection it was determined that the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is faulty due to the circuit having experienced a severe over voltage consistent with that of a power surge. Considering the...

Yes, I can recommend them.. They could not save my Yamaha AVR recently but they did try and gave good service personally and online.

Don't know if any of you knew local talent Peter Vincent, but I have been a groupie of his for 30 years. Heard the sad news that he past away this Sunday past. RIP. https://www.facebook.com/petervincentrock/

I also have "economy class" equipment but it works for me. 2 caveats though: 1. not my AVR/Blu-ray or amp/turntable set-up can reproduce Midnight oil's Bull roarer like my cousins' Pioneer system in his '80 Nissan GTX Skyline way back when (or is this the youth thing again?); Second caveat, my...

I have Acer Travelmate 5740 G in perfect working condition but the small plastic arm of the power button board has broken off rendering it useless and I do not know where to source the part (LS-5892P) locally. Surely I can save this laptop if I can "fix" or replace the switch. I just have no...

5/6 with Laptop and AKG headphones (k511)

Dear Friends I have some Harman Kardon  speaker drivers I rescued after lightning struck my pc (tested them, still working). I want to rebuild them in a box type setup for mp3 playback. I want to build a amplifier for them using local "amp kits (Velleman, Smart) I can locally source (Communica...
