micky <NONONOmisc07@fmguy.com>: Feb 05 11:38PM -0500 I have a pair of Bose Hearphones, cheaper than hearing aids.   I only use it at meetings (which I don't go to because of Corona) and to watch Law & Order on TV (because all the other shows are loud enough but it's not.)   The device consists of a yoke with the on/off button, two leds, a charging jack, and the battery, and two earbuds.   Each earbud has 3 microphones, they say**, and when being put in my ears they sometimes squeal, which the manual says is normal. Feedback, I guess.   The question is, when both buds are no longer in my ears, the device waits a while and turns off.   How does it know that the earbuds are no longer in my ears?       **And it can be set to amplify what's in front, what's in front and to the sides, and sounds from all diretions, so it probably does have 3 mikes per ear.   As good as this might sound, there are one or two other competitors. Before I bought this I googled but didn't find them. One will play the last 10 seconds back again, and iirc will play the last 10 seconds at reduced speed. I'd feel real bad that I didn't get that one, except I probably wouldn't use those things, at least at a lecture. If I were in the market, I'd look at the others before buying any of them.

Although the battery has been cycled many times maybe.   >"News articles caution that there may be a link between Bluetooth wireless headphones like AirPods and cancer, but not all experts agree on the potential health health risks of wireless earbuds."   And I hadn't even thought about it, but this does have bluetooth, and even though i never use it, there's no way to turn it off.

The screen shows the Emerson logo, then there's a staticky pop noise and it shuts off.   >I tried unplugging it for a bit and plugging it back in. No luck. We've had it for a while, and TVs are dirt cheap now. But here's what seems weird.   >I'm teleworking so I have to be on line for work. When I unplugged it, our WiFi stopped. It came back up maybe 5 minutes or so later. Very annoying if you're on a video call. I was pretty sure I hadn't unplugged the cable box or router.   This won't help you at all, but I have two table radios, one on top of another, and when I turn one on, a certain station I listen to on the other goes totally silent!!

Here's a thread with pictures that is specific to the CRX but I'm fairly certain that most/all of the info contained within is applicable to the Civic Si as well.   https://www.crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=56535   -- Dave

I will check them out, I know I have 380 volts dc at the bridge rectifier output. D

If not, it's downloadable here: https://elektrotanya.com/samsung_hw-e450_sm.pdf/download.html   The troubleshooting flowcharts in the manual assume you're going to be swapping out entire boards, but at least there are schematics to help track things down to component level.   If you've confirmed that the fault is on the SMPS board, I'd check the electrolytic capacitors (be sure to discharge them before touching anything on the board) and high-wattage resistors (RS801, RA808) first, as these are possible failure points that could be tested without working on a live circuit.   The safety guide in https://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm is extremely useful, particularly if you do end up having to investigate the SMPS while it's powered up.   R

If the connection needs to be reworked in the future, it is a little tough to remove it. I've tried teflon tape on occasion and found that it slides and shifts around so much that it is hard to get a clean wrap so to speak. One good thing is that teflon tape has a very high dielectric strength, something like 6kv at 0.001 inch thick, (or is it 0.001? i forget). It would do quite well in RF applications. J
