Anyone?

Hoping the electronics DIYers here may be able to help with a repair. I'm pretty good at taking things apart, fixing, not so much! So after taking apart a DVD player four or five times in an attempt to spot anything amiss causing an awful vibration/rattling sound, I now have a strong suspicion...

Hopefully this forum is appropriate to ask about CD player faults and fixes? So my latest CD player (/tale of woe...) makes a horrible noise on insertion of CD that I can only describe as attempting to achieve take-off! I'm sure lots of us are familiar with that from computer optical drives...

Wow, getting on for the 10th anniversary of the thread! Having just picked up a G103-S, of course I now learn about the (I think) relatively new MkII. Typical :unamused: @CTR640 do you know which version you were looking at recently? So obviously the Head-Fi paranoia/OCD kicks in, I would be...

No doubt interest in these has long since waned but I'll ask anyway. I'm not really an IEM person but convinced myself to order a pair, then found this thread with the cable horror stories. Typical! So obviously I'm wary even before I've got them. Is there a v2 of the RE-600 (non-S) and any...

I know, this is a shameful post to put in the DIY forum but here goes. Many moons ago I put together CKKIII amp, which, amazingly seems/seemed to work. Unfortunately, due to a combination of lack of tools and skill, it was never properly cased, so has been sat gathering dust. I would really...

Thanks for all the extra information and advice. I'll keep looking! I was concerned that the higher MP count may mean that the camera couldn't really be used in a 'casual' way, i.e. needing better lenses, rock solid technique, but given even the entry level sports 24MP I'm guessing this isn't...

Oh, I don't think I doubted the general quality but I did doubt some of the tests and comparisons. I think there's perhaps some hyperbola in the reviews/comments versus the data (images). But of course, getting good data seems to be an issue and the differences may not manifest under all...

I know exactly what you mean about using an SLR. I really only dabble with photography, expertise is low although I have a reasonable grasp of the technicalities. So, on a couple of occasions, I've tried alternatives, such as bridge cameras or compacts. After all, it's a pain lugging around the...

Thanks for the reply. I was looking to buy and the seller was claiming an easy fix but I wasn't entirely convinced. I managed to contact three places, two of which said they'd have to see it and the third guesstimated £200! I had a hunch that it could be expensive despite being a very low-cost...

So here's a really long shot. Does anyone know whether it's possible to buy replacement flash release buttons and how easy they are to fit? Specifically for D300 (long story). Or, can the flash be operated without the button? I've attempted to contact Nikon USA but my browser won't play nicely...

Not sure how active this thread is but I'll ask anyway! Firstly, please don't castigate me for talking old tech... So I've been doing a _lot_ of reading about D300(s) and D7000 lately. Don't worry, I'm not going to ask which is better or what to buy. What I found interesting was the difficulty...

I'm going to shamelessly thread-jack in a plea for help because it is related :dt880smile: What software do you guys use for accurate and verified rips? I'm using morituri which seems okay but feels like it could be faster and a bit easier to understand the output at times. If anyone knows...

Let's see if this picks up again!

Not expecting much here but I don't know where else to ask. Have a CD that is not found during the MusicBrainz look-up but is in the database, as well as FreeDB. Here's the info: CDDB disc id: fc0ff312 MusicBrainz disc id ITg3Ao6PkquCDMMaClLuEOIWq6E- MusicBrainz lookup...
