A question for the electronics wizzs
« on: January 13, 2004, 06:59:46 PM »
I have a question about the circuit board in
my wife's microwave oven.
( hay .. at least its not about Windows ) :-D

The microwave oven works fine,  its just the
beeper thats the problem.
I've opened it up and theres a small circuit
board inside for programing cooking time ect.
When you push on any of the buttons its
supposed to make a beep sound, it still does
except you can hardly hear it, and there is no
volume control. The cost of a new circuit board
is out of the question, might as well buy a new
microwave ( this is/was a fairly expencive one
to start with ).
So .. the question is ( educated guess excepted )
is it the speaker or the speaker circuit thats bad??
The speaker is small , about a half inch in dia.
and easy enough to replace but if its the circuit
I wouldn't even know where to start looking.
If I can't fix it, she will live with it the way it is.
But its usually best to try and make the wife happy.

@ WOL

Yes .. I think it's a solid disk  speaker in a little
plastic case. About one half inch or 1.5 centimeters
diamiter.
I've only taken off the outside cover to see what
is in there, I know the dangers of high voltage ect.
I haven't been poking around, just looking.
The circuit board would be easy enough to remove
but I don't have any test equipment and wouldn't
know what I am looking at anyway.
I just thought if it was the speaker, that would be
just a remove and replace.
But it sounds like more than I can handle so
I guess she will have to live with it like that.

@Jeff

Thanks for the offer but as WOL said,
its probably not the speaker thats the
problem.
Again .. thanks for the offer
