I think you mean varistor, AKA MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor).

A varactor is a diode whose capacitance is adjustable by applied DC. Used in radio receivers.

Cheers,

What is the amplifier plugged into?

How can you tell if it's in the 120VAC wires or is it RF in the air? The noise is unlikely to come on AC lines and get through the amplifier's power supply. So RF through the air. BUT , the AC lines are a transmit antenna. The audio connecting cables (if any) and circuits in the amplifier are the r...

Probably no longer active..

No ground penetrating WIFI

A tech forum for music CDs/records?

Try Amazon next time.

If it was at Windows boot, someone else would have to help.

If explorer.exe is referring to Internet Explorer the app will have to updated to call Microsoft Edge instead.

Your next post was while I was composing. The explorerframe thing sounds reasonable but I do not know.

When are you getting that error? At boot time or starting an app? (for example)

"The ones i've fiddled with, didn't hardly have anything in them,, a 4 legged transistor looking chip, and a resistor,,could possibly be a resistor looking coil." Exactly! Boost circuit.

there are actually Blue and white leds that will work well with 3v.

could be some newer chemistry.

chinese led garden lights, the leds will operate from a 1.2v Nicad battery.

I'd bet built in boost regulator.

Higher voltages would still mean lamp/bulb with built in current regulation.

Cheers,

Yeap. Checked Uxcell, they call them "lamps". Their LED lamps have built in current limiting. A red LED itself has a forward voltage of around 1.8V The voltage is set by the chemistry used to make a particular color LED. Higher power LEDs will have a larger max current, but same voltage. G...

5V LED?? Blues and whites are 3.8V Other colors lower forward voltage. ("raw" LEDS) Maybe an LED bulb with LED and regulator in one package. USB power is not just voltage on two wires. The host and device negotiate the current needed. The blinking is the power IC in the "bank" ch...

Would not be any solder for "black" trace connection to gold pads. Connection is by pressure. The 3 black spots are where the pressure plate broke off, or the plate is out of view on the back side. (but then why gold pads on this side?) Or they are screw holes for LCD bezel (to the left), ...

Scrap it! From video you linked it looks like a Benny Hill prop. A 100 year old man with one leg gets away by walking while police chase him using those things. Junk brand new.

Seems to be arbitrary. IMO

Didn't seem arbitrary to me.

Hassle the regulars, let the spammers post.
