  • I think I’ve found the source of the problem with my MC2.

    Matey in the circle looks pretty fucked and has no continuity.

    I need to do some more tests - check the motor etc. I’m not great with circuit function and design. Would the motor being fucked blow a resistor?

    A new board is £20, and probably worth a punt once I’ve checked the motor is ok. Just need to learn how to do that!

  • I have a basic soldering set I bought off eBay to fix my soundbar, which had a £0.20 capacitor blown.

    If you are local you can borrow it to replace this component?

    I managed to do it and fix my soundbar so it is entirely within anyone's capacities!!!

  • Ah cheers, I'm up north in Leeds though unfortunately. I have a gas soldering iron which is kinda working, but not that well. Will probably just end up buying a cheap soldering iron anyway.

    My issue with the resistor is that it's so fucked I can't tell what its rating is, I can't find a wiring diagram online, and pictures of the boards online aren't much clearer.

  • If you like home roasting and you want a new toy that’s the gadget to get for sure.
