Need help: anyone can do soldering?

[tomshen]

I have a set of Altec Lancing ACS48 speakers used for quite a few years for my PC. Solid performance, but I believe there might be some problem with the internal design. It stopped working two years ago and a friend of mine helped me repair it by replacing a diode. Now it stopped working again. I suspect it's the same problem. Unfortunately my friend is not in Singapore anymore :cry: Don't know if anyone is good at repairing electronic devices. Should be simple if u know how to do it. I'd rather repair it by paying a bit for your service than throw it away coz it's still going strong a few days back.

I'll check out the cables again to make sure if it's really dead first. Thanks for any offer in advance

Thanks Tom. HWZ looks a bit too messy these days.

i can do soldering.

Great I'll check the condition first. btw, do you know how to check circuit board?

 

[kanekoichi]

you can do so by using one of those amp meters.
should be able to get them from the local hardware shop.

hey, i can try to repair for you. but no guarantees. don't worry about charge.

If it is dead, go Creative warehouse sales and buy a new one!

But personally i would not recommend creative - go get the $299 Aego2 2.1 system

there is a shop above Tekka market and another somewhere in Little India that do electrical repairs.....like the one at junction of Desker road
