This is some kind of weird miracle. I am setting up a new office and literally yesterday I found this EXACT model of Logitech PC speakers with the same failure mode. What a strange universe we live in. Love your videos, and thanks for making an episode seemingly just for me! 🤣

The best electronics youtube channel ever. Mr Carlson's eye for detail feeds perfectly in with OCD and perfectionism. This is how you do things right. Love the hot glue tip.

A very practical demonstration even for a non-technical user, very neat.

It doesn't matter what is on Mr Carlsons bench, it's always an interesting watch. Thanks for all you do, sir.

Thank you, Mr., Carlson. I had a similar issue with my speakers and this demonstration allowed me to fix the problem and not dispose of a perfectly good set of speakers.

[MikeyMack]

Nice, easy, inexpensive fix! Thank you for showing us and keeping it out of the landfill.

Nice to see a disassembly of these... I have four sets, and always buy them when I see them at second hand. Have handed three of four sets over to friends. Great small speakers that stack up nicely when stored away. Using one set connected to and old phone as a very loud alarm clock. (Edit: none of the sets that have passed my hands have had any failures)

Your upload of this video is perfect timing, I have the same set of speakers and been putting up with a hum for past two years. Looks like it will be an easy fix. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and skills.👍

Nicely done Mr C👍👍 This repair was interesting and anybody with similar speaker systems will benefit from the solution. I'm surprised you spared some time to diagnose the engineering failure and repair of these speakers as inexpensive as they are. Just goes to show anything related to electronics is showcased on your channel, thank you. 73's

I'd honestly love to see you do a transmission teardown/repair video. Your attention to detail and ability to explain seemingly anything would be awesome for it. Most of the videos I've come across are just teardown guys fly through everything with even faster explanations.

[alexbabcock]

I appreciate your calm, knowledgeable long-form content. There are days when something like this really helps me to keep pushing.

[ChipGuy]

This video gets a like from me just for the fact that you put effort into fixing stuff that most people won't bother with due to the low price of a replacement item. This is really protecting the environment and not that green crap that wants to restrict your heating in the winter.

Wow, this is so cool. Your channel is a gem. I wish this had been available when I was studying solid state physics back in college. We slaved over things like "the h(ie) small signal parameter looking into the base of a common emitter transistor amplifier'" but never really learned to repair real life stuff . It's as if what you do here and what they teach in school are two parallel universes.

A fellow gear head! Two of my passions cars and electronics. Yes a transmission has a lot of parts.

[timbober]

I enjoy watching your videos but get lost on the more complicated equipment. This is a job I think I could even tackle. Thank you for taking the time to record this.

Hello Paul,
My first transmission rebuild was a Muncie M22 out of a 1974 Firebird Formula 400 that I purchased used when I was 20 years old (bad 1-2 syncros). I’m glad to hear that you’re also a master in the garage! 👍🏼

[Nugglashine]

You don't really realize how funny Mr. Carlson is until you watch about a dozen videos. Witty and sardonic, what a great combination.

[SteveMasonCanada]

I have 2 sets of these speakers. 1 at home and 1 at work. The work ones are quite hummy, home ones are not too bad. Have been putting off fixing them. You confirmed what I figured, bad filter cap. Interesting. I have the same Mastercraft screwdrivers, the same Costco Isopropyl, and a parts cabinet full of Panasonic FM and FC caps.

[Ctrl_Del_]

so much for the right to repair.
Modern society. "Throw it away and buy new". But not with a mr Carlson in the neighbourhood. Everybody needs a Mr Carlson.😁

[semectual]

I had a pair of these at my former employer back in around 2011! When new, these speakers Rock! The Great thing about your video, it's great to see the things that happen to these as they age and how a simple $1.50 brand new capaciter brings new life and give them a second chance to last another 10 to possibly and maybe 20 more years of use. Great Video!
