People of high minded aren't allowed in my channel. This morning an arrogant been blocked here. he's asking why I didn't buy new pot and installed. At the video I mentioned there that I was working in an island wherein electronics parts aren't available.(If didn't mentioned here in other video I did...) And it's already stated on the title the intention/ point of this video: "bypassing.." it's not a click bait on your part. This issue is basic on our part (Certified Electronics) but riddle for you.

[@prakar]

Someone who says "buy a new pot" obviously doesnt understand that theres a reason youre doing it this way. Repairing *within available means* is a winning attitude, the world needs more of it. Thank you

Sir really thank you for this video, my brother bought this speaker for his pc set up. Him and I used to enjoy listening to music and playing games. My brother's speaker is 14 years old and 3 days back it stopped working, your video helped me to bring back life to our speaker and this speaker is more than a nostalgic item to me. Thank you ❤️❤️

Good evening. What a nice job. New subscriber. If you don't get one of the small speakers, put the four wires together. Or just the white, blue and yellow.

Loose contact bro, check left wiring cut if necessary then resolder. Use multitester in checking

[@amalps297]

thanks bro very helpful.. I connect it directly is any problem by doing it??

[@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH]

The only problem bro is you can't control the volume only to your plugin device. It works perfectly

Would it also work if I bypass the electric switch?(i lost the whole switch/potentiometer black box)

50k sir

[@AneesMahdi]

I have a Bluetooth speaker with a five-pin potentiometer not working and no wires on the motherboard. It is Directly soldered on it. how do I configure which pin is for which color?

[@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH]

Go to electronics shop and find the same potentiometer sir. Or pull up your old one and look for it in AliExpress

[@marcangelodelamerced7345]

Sir what kind and value of potentiometer did you used? Thanks for answering!

[@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH]

The potentiometer i used here is 6 pot and the value is 100k. Any how value doesn't matter here cause you're use it as voltage diveder only. The resistor value doesn't affect the signal output as long as the upstream source and the down stream sink are compatible with the resistance.

@OCT TV I bypassed it but didn't use potentiometer. Mine have humming noise. But when I take something metal and touch the black wire and touch my feet on the ground, the noise gets reduced significantly. What should I do for a permanent fix?

Hey mate. My speaker T3130 has this weird random loud brr brr sound. I removed the subwoofer and the random crackling sound is gone. But of course the base sound is also gone. I suspect the wire connectivity issue or Subwoofer poitentiometer issue. any idea how i can fix it? can i short same colored wires for this potentiometer too ?

[@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH]

Check and replace audio jack first sir, then if issue still there go and replaced potentiometer

[@the_DeadEye]

@@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH I just re soldered the cable coming from the subwoofer back to the mainboard, it felt like it was barely hanging on. so far it sounds good 👍 fingers crossed!

[@the_DeadEye]

there is a very very subtle hsss noise coming from all speakers if no music is playing, but i guess its just system being very old. lol i cant believe i fixed this, it was sitting in the house with no subwoofer for over 4 or 5 years, ive got it maybe 10 years ago lol. its 3 am and i just randomly said, im gonna do it or ill buy a new one.

[@THEMULTISKILLEDTECH]

Just replace audio sir if hissing sound still there. But if tolerable keep it

[@ShahinMS]

I connected them with a 100k pot. The volume is not decreasing that much. But when I keep the volume at the minimum level, there is a humming...should I use 50k pot?

yes my pot is a diff version but figured it out after a bit of research. 1-LEFT OUT 2-RIGHT OUT 3-RIGHT IN 4-GROUND 5-GROUND 6-LEFT IN however there is 1 parellel resistor connected on 1 and 2,left and right out? should i use it too? if yes then how? connecting it same way between left and right channel? without pot obviously.
