 I don't know if you can hear that humming. Listen. That sounds terrible, doesn't it? No, I've listened to this for years. What I normally do is I have the volume on full blast. It cuts it down quite a bit. And I just keep the volume, you know, on this thing. Pretty good, though. Okay. But recently it's just been bugging me more and more and more. There's only a second part today. At least, a bit of funny thing is going to be this side. I need to sort it out. But I'm going to take it apart and we're going to see if we can clear up that horrible buzzing sound because that is really driving me nuts. It's all I can hear in my head at the moment. And it doesn't really matter, you know, even over here. You can still hear it. I've got some other speakers in my bedroom. But I'm going to bring in and I'm going to put in this place while I do all this. But the problem though, God, is it's a mess. There's a lot of cables. You can't really see that very well down there. Because there's none of the light down there. But there's a lot of wires. Even though it doesn't look that bad there, this panel is hiding most of the mess. This is part of the speaker wires. And it's tangled up with this, which comes from the solar panel. There it is. You still can't see any of that. The computer. All cables down there, but they're all tangled up. So I'm going to have to sort of switch all this off, pull this table forward a bit. Just pull it forward, you know, about a foot or something, shift all this stuff out of the way. Put it forward and try and get it back down and back there and untangle it all. Get those speakers out. Put the other ones in. What a fun day. I've got stuff I've got to build over there as well. Get it out today. But I've got to do these speakers because like I said, they're dropping that. I shall come back when I've got them out. And this dad as well. I also wanted to get them out and still keep the computer on. So I can get around where I left off. Now I'm going to go and get the other speakers because these are out. The wires are out. It's a little bit of a tangle. Like I said, I just pulled the table forward to get myself, you know, speaker size at the back. So I get in amongst the cables. My old computer there. I'll say it's old. It's a fourth generation i7. Even though the case, I've had it for, I don't know. It's all metal. It's like a server case. There's so much metal in there. It helps with cooling. And I've probably had it about 18 years. Maybe even a little bit longer. And I'll keep it as well because the door's broken and it will fall off. And there's nothing left in the front there anymore. Just that actual drive there is my operating system drive. You can see it. It's a laptop drive. Probably going to clean. I mean, I do clean it. I take the sides off and clean out the insides periodically. Make sure there's no dust build up. But like I said, there's so much metal to it. It's really, really good for keeping everything cool. So that's what I keep it. I think the case cost me about 60 quid on my first bought it. What will I do with it apart from scrap it? That means all that metal I bought will just go to somebody else to make money from. Yeah, after them. Right, so I'm going to again just bring in my other little desktop speakers. Probably give it a bit of a dust. I want to get a vacuum and just suck out some of this dust from around here. And then so I can put this on. Well, I take these apart and I don't think there's going to be a problem in there. It's going to be in this unit here. I'll get a bit of a better picture on there. 12 watts, I reckon. It's heavy. It's good and heavy. It's a good solid lump. I don't really want to throw it away or anything like that. Even though I've had these for such a long time now. Yeah, it's probably a capacitor or two. But again, I have a look and see what we can do with it. Do you want it back in a minute? Okay, so these are the little Logitech speakers I'm going to put in this place just for now. A bit dusty. But this is something I didn't notice for these. I'm a little listened to this. That's when you first switch them on. That's, you know, we'll just turn the tone to halfway. It does need a clean because as you start turning it gets really stiff. About halfway, it's the stiffest. What a pop. These are still just... I am actually going to leave this like this. I'll put this on this wire. And I'll put it around the back of the monitor. And I'll just pop this speaker basically over here. And I'm just going to leave it like this and pull these out. Clear some space over there. And it hums more out of this speaker, which is the non-amplified side than it does this one. So, as this one's got all the weight in it, and the amplifier, whatever it is, it says it's a 12 watt, 50 hertz, that you can hear. Speaker. So, let's unplug and take it apart. I don't think I'm going to really necessarily need to take this one apart because this is just, you know, wired off there. This one is the one. Looks like the six screws. Hopefully, you're going to be able to get to it. I think that's an input. I didn't realise that was there. Well, that will come in handy. That will come in very handy. Because what I was thinking was I might end up making a couple of elevating some infos and put them in my little mission speakers on my bench here and set them up onto my computer. Which means that all the music that I have on my computer, including the access to the CD drive, even though, well, yeah, it would just make it more convenient for me to be able to play music. And then I could put these on my bench here which will take up less space. Nile it up a bit. There it is. There we go. I shouldn't have done it on the bottom before. Okay. Right. Now, I really need to keep an eye out for capacitors in case there's anything in here. I'm going to disconnect the speaker because it looks like I can. Maybe I can disconnect it. Let me see if I can get a better look. I'm going to take that out of the way. That's that. Let's just have a little look at this. Okay, so it's a 4-ohm speaker. 5 watts. Funny, isn't it? Because on the case it says 12 watts, and it says 12 watts speaker. Okay. Let's not start bishring. But there you go. That's the first. What we've got inside. There's the volume control and headphone jack and the little LED in the power switch. That's good you could do. You can probably just connect these. It's actually worth this kind of number. I'm going to get them out of the way. There's a little recording series. It just says Sony Volume PWB, which I presume would be power board. It's a horrible flux there. I'm going to clean that up with a bit of alcohol. And then here, and then we've got the retract fire. All diodes. There's my fuse. And we've got this cap, which doesn't seem to be terribly bad. You can just slide that out now. You don't have to undo these. You just screw these down here. And these are, they look like, they're just Phillips. That's good. Phillips Crosshead. I don't know what the difference is between the two, but make sure some of you tell me or just give me a thumbs down for the same long thing. Yeah, I bought myself a little helicopter. It's got one of these little Sigma XC5s. Dash 1, the new version. I've also been looking at the Sigma XX8. It's G. That looks pretty cool too. Okay, this is those four screws. I'm going to chuck those in there. They'd be the same as it was. Yeah, they're all exactly the same length. So that's good. Be careful of that. That's good. It's quite a good of a... That's now locked here. That's the amount of sort of space they give you for fracking them out. Now interestingly, look, there's one. There's a shield here. Wow, look at this one. And there's a... Oh, sorry, it's not a shield. It's the heat sink for the chip, for the amplifier chip. I don't know what it is. It's a... Oh, it's a LA4601N. I'll have to have a little look at that up. I'm sure I've got one of these. I'm sure I've seen this in like a TV. So anyway, this is the one online. This is the one out the speakers. I just decided to look in my own collection of PDFs because whatever I've got PDFs is what I've got. And I typed in LA4, and it came up with an LA4282, which is the same thing. It's a 2 channel, but this is 10 watts monolithic linear IC. So it's the same pinout. It's the same everything, except for 10 watts. Sanyo again. The maximum supply voltage is 45 watts on this. Maximum output current, 4 amps. 25 watt dissipation. And so these caps here, probably the ones we're going to need to replace, there's a bunch of little tiny ones here. Just trying to see if I can see anything visually. Oh, my life. These are ours, these caps. Oh, I don't know if you can see in there. They say Alma. I don't know if you can see that. Alma. And they're all Alma. This one in here, I can't fell on. I need to get my microphone mask. There's a single cap in there. I wish I could see what the camera could see properly. The whole drug built. There you go, you can see that now. There's a single cap in there. Let's look at these ones here. Yeah, these are all Almas. Let's see what's on this. Let's try to see what's on these black ones here. SME. I don't know if that means anything to anyone. AC primary area, danger. Danger, danger. Nothing really obvious. It doesn't seem to be any sort of swelling in the caps. There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 caps. 18 caps. Everything's got, you know, snot on it. It's holding down. Every cap has got a little tiny bit of snot. Let's see what the diodes are. It's called 2A02 from what I've been seeing. 41.4. Y, Y, Y, 41.4. Yeah, sorry, I only want this baby's home so much. This is a 10-micro farmed 50, 50 volt cap. I think it says felon. It's got like a pound symbol for the first character of the first letter. Then elon. D-L-O-N, yeah. But it looks like a pound symbol, a British pound symbol, like that, but not with the two strikes going through, just with one. So it does look like an F. But I honestly couldn't tell you. I don't think we have to look it up or something. So that's what we've got in our homes. But why? But it does definitely have the same 12 watts on the back flap. Yeah, 12 watts. You can see that, you should be able to see that now. 12 watts. That's a 5-watt speaker. About 4 ohms. It's quite heavy. It's pretty heavy for the size of it and quite surprised how heavy it is. I can see why the whole unit weighs so much now. Well, look, this isn't just a cheap piece of shit, because look at this, look, there's even rubber going around the outside of this. So obviously when this is put together, when there's a bit of a port on the back, this is put together so there's no vibration. So, you know, they're not the cheapest of speakers. I know, you know, I probably wouldn't have spent that much when I bought them. I can't remember, it was such a long time ago. It might be worth actually cleaning them up, because it's metal. It's not so... I mean, that one's a lot lighter, but that's only because you compare it with this one here. But you can compare it with this. This is like heavier than this, but that's because it's got the case as well. And it's not exactly thin, too, rather than the case. So, it's got to make it out of... That is pretty thick. Six little screws, not going into the metal, so it's not like that, it's plastic. But still, that's, you know, restrained there. Metal restrainer. LA4601M. So, 46... 46001M. LA4601M. I don't know what to do down here as well. Okay, 46001M. So... Well, what I'm going to have to do then is... I suppose I'm just going to have to take out as many of these caps as I can replace. I'm not sure what all these little fellas down here are. I'll try to figure out how nice I can look at these. What the value of that? It's a 16 volt, come back. 16 volt, 22 microfibers. And I'm going to assume that they're all the same. And that's, how do I say, 50 volt, 10 microfibers, isn't it? It's a 16 volt, 1,000 mics, these big ones here. And that's a 3. 3,000... Yeah, 3,300 mic, 25 volt. Oh, I lied, they're not all... This says Nichicon. I know you can't see it from there, but it does. It says Nichicon. I'm looking at the colours as well. I'm all thinking about it. Yeah, so I know some good stuff from there. Well, yeah, well, it's not the cheapest of the cheap, is it? Not the cheapest, the cheap Sony amp. So the board's Sony. It says so here. See that? It says Sony. Okay, can't tell. Fuse, I don't know if use is good, because it still will work. Can't tell. It's a slow, it's just regular fuse, isn't it? 0.25 amp, 250 volt. Okay. So these are Nichicon VRM range. I'll be seeing that's what that means. Then we've got some 4.2 peak interference. Microfarad, sorry, a whole bunch of these 4.2 microfarad, these ones are here. 16 volts, but they're all Alma. They're all Alma, so sure, not too bad. So I suppose that I need to take out at least some D-part, okay? Because I like these traces. That's where it's been. Then you've got like this additional bit like these, but obviously they've been soldering afterwards anyway, so they've been wanting something. Okay, well, that's as far as I can get this minute in time, because I'm going to start the soldering side of these caps and do some tests. So I'll probably have to replace quite a few and I haven't got all these, so I'll have to see how easy it is to take them out. There's nothing, well, there's a whole bunch of surface mount resistors as well. That's going to make life difficult. Well, I don't know, because they're already all tiny, solid joints, so I should be able to get in and around them. But just for now, I'm going to put that back in now. And I have to go on a hunt for some capacitors. See if I can actually sort this out. I'll just put them down in the old repair section. Moving on there. We've already seen that's going to get like that. I'm not going to push that back in too far. I'm going to put that drill screw out of the way, that power board, and just dump that in down there. And come back to this. So I'll shoot back in a little bit.
