My Problem

First it looked like it was a tweak problem.

After installing a audio tweak only the up button was responding.

but after de installing and checking on the internet it seems clear that the audio control button itself was broke.

The button was also not making the same sound as the up button when you press it, also pressing feels different.

So I searched the net and found FIXIT.

First there was some misunderstanding with them that they could not ship to Curacao but after it was clear that we do not have zip codes in our Islands the order was shipped, within 5 days I had it here...FAST! Many thx for you support and your nice manuals GREAT

My Fix

Pretty easy, just follow the manual...Nice set up

My Advice

As electronic developer/installer/repair guy it was easy to install according your manuals.

What could be on option, and that is what I always do when I have to demount a lot of screws: I just print a A3 or A4 paper with square blocks and numbers. when I take out some screws I put this in step one. the next screws I place between the lines at step two etc.

Or what I did in this case, I just printed out the pictures in small format and placed the screws on the top of the drawing where I took them out.

Very easy, you never put the wrong screw on the wrong location.

My Problem

It had the three red rings.

My Fix

I used the kit to clean and reapply the thermal compound, then I reflowed the machine with a heat gun.

My Advice

Patience and attention to detail, don't rush it, it's worth taking your time.

My Problem

Problem: DIY amplifier kit has been amazing sounding, but of course I decided to mod / improve the amp a little more with input protection circuit. Somewhere down the line I must have shorted the IC and well gardening snippers were the only things I had to do so...but after my 3rd kit, it was time to buy real flush cutters.

My Fix

So simple, well the snipping part. Desoldering through hole components is tedious without the right tools, but after much patience I was able to do so without a hitch. Now I'm awaiting the next batch of IC chips to ship and my portable boombox monster will live!

My Advice

Life is better with the best and right tools.
