  1. I took the cable apart so if anyone else with these headphones has this problem again here's the pinout:
  2. C-D is 18V and both E-F and F-G are 23V so about right, this means the transformer is working correctly and I should look elsewhere, right?
  3. remind me, you measure voltage by putting one multimeter-thingy on A/B and the second on C/D/E/ F/G?
  4. that probably wont work since the circuit looks like this: and if I turn on the switch it blows the fuse however I didn't know about this and for the entire time I was working on this I had removed a steel plate (around half a kilo) that was sitting on top of the motor (since it would fall down when I turned the player around while working in it). I'll try it again with the steel plate on and update you on how it went.
  5. yeah, I fixed that, I was just checking the giant capacitor (if it has 0 resistance) and forgot to solder it back for the photo
  6. also, I looked a bit more closely and found this: it seems like pins 1,2,3 are the ones I called 3,4,5 and seeing as their current and voltage are the same it probably makes sense that they have low resistance to each other, right?
  7. I found a super old record player in our basement and I'm trying to fix it. Everytime I turn on the switch it spins a few millimeters and then stops, when I check the fuse it's blown. I've replaced some leaky caps but it still doesn't work, before I delve any deeper into the electronics I wanted to check if the transformer isn't faulty. The transformer is a 9WN 667 07. I live in Europe if that matters. Power goes (through a fuse and a switch) straight to the top. The resistance between the pins are as follows (I did scratch the surface of the solders so the resistance should be measured properly): 1 - 2 - 33Ω 1 - 3,4,5 - 100-200Ω flashes but then it shows infinite (making the tolerance higher on my multimeter didn't show anything at all) 2 - 3,4,5 - same thing 3 - 4 - 3Ω 3 - 5 - 4,6Ω 4 - 5 - 3Ω Are these numbers something that I could expect from a transformer?
  8. I have a 1080p display but I play the game in 720p and the canvas and the output size is also 720p. Is there anything I can optimize? And does lowering the resolution of the game decrease cpu usage?
  9. Hey, I'm wondering if I can get a little bit more use out of my old motherboard with a better CPU. The problem is that my motherboard only has a 4 pin eps connector. Now, I'm wondering, can my motherboard handle the i7-2600? I'm guessing no one can say for sure since there is no supported cpus list for my mobo, but maybe can have some meaningful information?
  10. Hey, so I'm streaming on an R7 260X and an i3-2120 (terrible, I know, nothing I can do about that) and I can stream CS:GO on a relatively watchable framerate with the CPU pegged at 100% all the time. Now, I'm wondering, can I increase the bit-rate without increasing CPU usage? Because my GPU encoder is only being used like 20% max.
  11. nonono, the cable looks exactly like this one but i have no idea what the internal pinout is on mine and on this one and also, 30€ is a lot if you don't have a job and you're a high school student :]
  12. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002796379589.html?spm=a2g0o.search0302.0.0.3a0f79d0UtoHUA&algo_pvid=34d5c079-a94b-48f7-9b12-bd46b38943e5&aem_p4p_detail=20211014104010468766543225950004152847&algo_exp_id=34d5c079-a94b-48f7-9b12-bd46b38943e5-0 so what is this for?
  13. Hey, I have Niceboy HIVE 2 Joy headphones and the only port they have is a micro-b port which is used for charging and also for wired connection. When I bought them they came with a micro-b to 3.5mm cable which I use to connect them to my PC, however the cable is starting to malfunction and I want to buy a replacement. My question is: is this cable made in some relatively normal format (so I can buy it from somewhere) or is it something proprietary and I need to repair it myself?
  14. on the part that I can see no and it's more for just trying out linux and making it slightly more usable (it had XP) than for daily usage
  15. Hey, I'm trying to remove the BIOS password on an old ASUS X51L so that I can install Linux on it. I tried removing the CMOS battery but it only reset the time and BIOS settings (presumably) but not the password. When I try to enter setup it asks for password and even if I only try to set default settings it asks me for the password. I cannot get to the OS because when I reset the CMOS it no longer works (probably a very stupid mistake). I will try to install Windows 7 on it through a different PC but until then I'm stuck.
