I work in a hospital, and I am trying to find out if the patient TVs are going bad or our antenna signal is weak.

Do they have a trade name? Can you tell me where to purchase one?
Thanks

Is there a meter that I can hook into an antenna system to see what channels I can pick up? Or how strong the channels signal is?

Troubleshooting incoming power circuit on Dell XPS M1330. I don’t have a print of the motherboard. I replaced the power jack on board and have power through it. Need to know where to go from there.

Thanks,

OK I got it now.

So this is kind of a trial and error thing.

Is there an adhesive product that will attach a solder pad or a trace to the board, and be able to take the heat of soldering?

Found the problem, bad valve in one of the heads.

I just got a used Hakko 472D desoldering station. I started using it yesterday and today. At the end of today it stopped sucking and started blowing. Need help

I just bought a used Hakko 472D desoldering station. Never used one before. What is a proper temperature setting for desoldering? And I’ll take any other advice you got.

Does anyone have any experience with an old Executone Nurse call system? I need to get one back up.

I was doing some desoldering and a couple of solder pads came off. Is there away to put new ones on? Or some other idea?

Thanks,
Brad

I replaced the two 47uF Tantalum with one aluminum 47uF 50V and all is well… So far
