It's not a speaker connector. That's too large...

I completely forgot I had a scanner here, so I put the parts on the scanner, along with a CD-ROM audio connector for comparison. The wire on the top right came out of the connector on the bottom right. That's the one I'm trying to identify.

All of ...

Identifying a connector...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of connector this is? I needed to replace the wires and thought it might be simple to reuse the original clips inside, but that ain't happening. These things are too darn small. I know the photos are lame, but they're the best I can do without a ...

Replacing pots with resistors?

Is there any kind of guide as far as how best to determine what value resistor to use when removing a pot? Should you go by the minimum or max value of the pot or perhaps try to determine a middle value?

Hipgear Screen question... Removing pots...

So I finally dismantled my hipgear screen and removed the daughter board (which has the audio amp and brightness/contrast/color adjustment pots). My question is: Do I need to put resistors across the respective adjustments or can I leave it as is? If I do, how do I determine what value resistors to ...

This is one I haven't seen before. Yes, it helps, but now I'm confused. If I recall, when I originally saw the wiring diagrams for this screen, it was determined they COULDN"T do RGB. In this graphic, it shows an RGB input.

This is the same board as the one I have, but those three particular ...

Hipgear screen: requesting photos of wiring

There was a post here a long time ago that had nice pics of the inside of the hipgear screen (xbox/ps2/gcn) and I can't find them now. I decided to do something with this screen today and realized I didn't have the pics any longer. Please tell me someone out there saved them.

Replacing the mic on a DVR

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to replace the mic on a voice recorder with a jack for a better mic? What I want is to be able to hook either an FM reciever or some external mic to it. I understand that the mic itself may require it's own power source, but my question is, will it even work?
