I go: + Red - Black GND - Green IN - Purple OUT - Orange SW - Red Reasoning: power is obvious. I like to differentiate audio ground from power negative, so it’s green, like the ground (grass). Out is Orange because orange starts with O. In is purple because Indigo starts with I and even...

You’re a legend for this. I checked out Best Buy as well, and they have a sale going on. They have these two options at a similar price point: So MacBook Air with more RAM, larger screen, or MBP with M4 chip, higher resolution screen. Hmmmm.

It’s time. I’ve had an iMac for around eight years now, and it is finally giving me enough issues that I need to move on. Namely, the OS can no longer update. I want to move into a new MacBook, but it’s been so long since I’ve looked into something like this that I will require some assistance...

Gimme that SV-Pre ASAP

So when you say you removed the board, did you remove the LED as well? As in, did you eliminate the enclosure altogether from the equation? If the LED is staying lit, it means the ground connection is there. If you did remove everything entirely from the enclosure - and I mean everything...

Also, your solder selection is very important. What are you using?

When you say 400°, do you mean Fahrenheit, or Celsius? I hope Celsius, but given the heat transfer issues, it’s either F, or a very dirty tip. In order to transfer to both the lead and the pad, you’ll need a lot of heat (I’m at 340° C - 644° F), a clean tip (make sure you’re wiping it on either...

Now you listen, ain’t no giving up here. We’ve all been there, so let’s get this thing working and get your confidence back up. You got this. More pictures would be helpful. Looking at those solder joints, they seem a bit cold, so it could be as simple as a cold/broken joint somewhere that...

Try a different power supply.

I don’t feel like searching it down, but there was a thread somewhere on the interwebs about this. The original Bensons had trim pots for Q2 and 3, but just a 2k resistor biasing Q1. There is an unknown reason for this, but that’s why the build documentation says that. In the unit tested, Q1...

The best method is paying someone else to do it. In the hassle of learning a free program, figuring out which material to use, how to print it, how to protect it, how to get it right…take that time well spent and just learn Affinity Designer. By the time you pay for the materials to print and...

Hey Mike, waking this back up. How exactly does one go about contacting Hugo? I’ve previously submitted a couple help tickets through my account to no avail, so I gave up, but I have another project I’d really like to try this on.

I'm pretty certain the text should all be facing to the right, just like it is for the other ones. I will confirm once I'm home from work and report back, hopefully as solved.

Actually, I think I see it. C12 (bottom right corner), which is part of the buffered bypass (if I'm reading the schematic correctly) appears to be the wrong way around.
