As suggested in the title, the Boom was completely unresponsive. I tested the power supply and it was showing one or two volts flickering in and out, so seems to have failed. I found a replacement power supply, confirmed the 12v, but still the Boom was dead. This was odd, maybe the power supply in its failure mode had taken out the Boom.. I dismantled the Boom (first time - it has been incredibly reliable for many years now) and found some mess around several lines of solder points, most of the board was very clean however. I guess this was residual flux, that should have been cleaned away during manufacture, one of the affected areas was the power input connector line. I cleaned this away with isopropyl alcohol plugged it in again, and it fired up perfectly! Sounds even better than before :cool:!
Just posting this to record the learning, sometimes the problems are so simple and yet the thing gets chucked.. I have attempted to attach some photos (its not obvious to me that these will appear though as I write this). 38821 38822 38823 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: IMG_1479.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38823| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tonedeaf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39220 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116885 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
