I'm just curious if anyone knows anything about working on electronic? Specifically a mini-home stereo system. I have had this thing for several years, but its still in great shape and everything still works fine except for this one problem.
First off I had it sitting in my room for several years without being used, and one day I decided to turn it on and I was getting a message saying "Protect".....it wouldn't do anything. Well last night I got bored and decided to see if I could figure it out. I took it apart, unplugged some of the connections to the main circuit bored and tried looking for anything that may be the cause. Well anyway, I couldn't find anything so I re-connected all the connections that I removed(I have triple checked all those), and now I can get it to come on and switch cds, play the cds, and such. But the speakers don't seem to be getting any signal...so there is no sound. Well, I thought I would try the headphone jack to see if I could hear it from there, but when I plug in the headphones....I get that "Protect" message again and it won't do anything. But as soon as I remove the headphone plug, it comes back on normal. So i'm assuming the big speakers not getting any signal, and that "Protect" message may be connected in some way.
Anyways, I was just hoping someone may know something about this stuff, or if it could even be fixed. :|
