I need to replace the “iec c14 plug“ of my peavey speakers:

I have bought a new iec c14 plug but since I have not replaced this before so I was wondering if you give me some advice.

1. How do I detach it. Will is pop open if I pull?
2. How so I install the new one. Solder and tape?

If there are any instructional videos that would be great.

Many thanks

Usama Ahmed

Update:

1) I checked continuity between +VCC and the first DD1 pin: it sounds;

2) I checked in diode mode between the two DD1 pins: I read 0.739;

3) capacitor resistance (ohms): 11.39;

Now, a few years later, the battery dies after just 10–20 minutes. Unfortunately, the company does not offer a battery replacement service for the built-in rechargeable battery.

Has anyone successfully replaced the battery in an Ember mug? How did you do it? Where did you get a replacement from?

While I had it open, the copper strip with an ~90 degree bend in it got loose and fell out. Don't know what it does or where it should be inside.

There are 2 metal screws that are probably supposed to be used for speed adjustment, but there must be some procedure to follow & I don't know what it is. Any help out there? Any former Franz technicians able to help?

Thanks, George

Is there a trick ? or old components are really difficult to salvage?

Thank you, André

I asked two GPU repair services and was declined by both, as they consider the card too old and cheap. I still think the problem might be something fairly basic that perhaps even I could fix. Seems worth a shot, as I have nothing to lose at this point.

Model: PowerColor RX 550 4 GB Low Profile

This exact one: https://www.powercolor.com/product-detai...

Symptoms:

• Card seems to work properly, producing clean signal on both outputs.
• Meanwhile, fan is not spinning.  Even when running 3D benchmark, fan does not spin.  Pushed fan with finger, still doesn't start, although I felt no mechanical resistance.
• Benchmarks run much too slowly, compared to other cards of the same model, even when cooled by another fan and temps are in the reasonable range. The GPU seems to know its power budget is nearly exhausted, hence shader clocks never ramp up.
• Software reporting claims high idle power: 32 Watts with both display outputs connected @ 60 Hz.  The max power for this card is only 50 W.
• After disconnecting fan, idle power drops to 25 Watts.  Still way too high.  Disconnecting second output drops idle power to 16 - 18 W.  Other RX 550 have an idle power of 4 W, and that's with the fan running!

No visible signs of damage, scorch marks, melted components, or missing chips.  Card appears pristine. No dust, even after removing shroud.

How the card is reporting power usage makes me wonder if it might be some defective or failed component in the card's VRM. The base power started way too high and each time I reduced the electrical load (i.e. disconnecting fan, disconnecting second monitor output), the reported power usage dropped by an amount that was similarly too large.

Is there any reference I could follow to narrow down any failed discrete component? I have a 15-year-old CPU/motherboard and out-of-service PSU I can use on the test bench, which I don't mind losing, if I accidentally short something while trouble-shooting. As for repair equipment, I pretty much only have a multimeter and soldering iron. Took an intro to electronics class at a community college, many years ago.

The gypsy machine is made by Provo Craft and used for arts and crafts. I have one that I am trying to fix because the power light comes on, but the screen stays black. The company no longer makes or repairs this product. I took the device apart and see that a wire is broken that is part of the orange component that connects the screen to the mother board. I have uploaded images of the motherboard and the picture with the arrow shows where the wire is broken.

I do not know how to replace or remove this part or any other part. Please take a look and see if there is anything else that looks broken, I am very new at this. I really want to repair this because I have a lot of cartridges linked to this machine and they can’t be linked to another machine

Thanks so much!!!

i tried calling computer repair stores locally and contacted provocraft. No help thus far.

I cant find an item number for this device.
