Title: "garalgal" pag adjust ng volume:saan ang diperensya?
Post by: praktikal on Jul 20, 2010 at 08:07 PM
amigos,

ano ba ang dapat ayusin kapag ganun? minsan meron minsan wala. mahigpit naman ang kabit ng wires. sa ground kaya?

salamat po  ;)

The potentiometer/Linear Taper also called (DACT volume control, or step volume control) is already busted. Electronics repair shop can change it.

Does your amp or receiver have remote control, is the unwanted sound still present even if you use the RC?

anong gear po yan?

if this is the round volume knob, sabi sa forums na gamitan daw ng deoxit spray (i haven't personally tried it yet)

Yun sa akin WD40 lang nawala yung garalgal. ;D

wd40 is messy. use contact cleaner to spray the potentiometer while turning it several times. obviously you need to access the amp's internals to spray in the potentiometer's contact areas aka wipers.

I'm very interested to know if it's an int amp, or a preamp. And what brand of course.

may pagkakataon na DC ang cause niyan pero like they say, linis daw muna...

Post by: praktikal on Jul 21, 2010 at 12:00 PM
okidoks. linisin ko muna. kung hindi lang basta dumi ang cause, ok lang bang pabayaan ko nang ganun at di naman lalala o walang madadamay na parts?  ;)

My subs volume control had the same problem. I replaced the potentiometer, it was a 20 peso  part :-). mas mahal pa yung contact cleaner hehehe

i like the "potentiometer" answers... hehehehe.. sobrang techie ang dating...
napuno lang ng carbon yun...

actually... you can clean it by pressing it clockwise and counterclockwise very often fast then slow
but of course with the POWER OFF para walang effect sa VOLUME...
para lang malinis yung mga contacts nung "potentiometer"...

hmmm... brings back the good old college days... electronics engineering 101

mahirap yata maghanap ng electromechanical prongs, insulated extruded metal conductors at multi-receptacle bladed connectors para dyan.

bro Eric, agree ako kay sir markcrenz ...the oil residue might cause resistance of some sort kaya contact cleaner na lang siguro.. if your potentiometer (c/o Master J: variable voltage divider  ;D) has large opening (upper area and underneath) pwede din lighter fluid.. dripping fluid will carry downwards the carbon/dirt... just be sure you have absorbent cloth or tissue paper underneath so that dirty fluid will not touch other parts.. lighter fluid evaporates kaya usually walang residue ..btw, do not light a cigarette, baka masunog yung amp  ;D

cheers !!!

Barbecue Amp  ;D ;D ;D

Btw, don't use those Mckenick sprays (WD40 clones), namuti yun plastic parts nun amp na ginamitan niyan sir...  :(
