how to repair electrical devices such as minidisk players

hello


are there any websites that specifically show you how to repair
electrical devices? for example how to test the circuit and how to
find out what components are blown or faulty.my minidisk player
doesn't power up so i guess this means that there is something wrong
with the components that distributes the power around the whole of the
circuit board how do i fix this problem and can you show me if there
are websites out there that deal with this problem

thank you

 

Have you tried new batteries? Is the power supply supplying power?

Usually, these days fixing something like a minidisk player is such a pain
that it's cheaper to throw it away.

Sorry. )-;

Well you look a bit further before posting.

If you found this newsgroup, then you should have found sci.electronics.repair
which is the repair newsgroup.

And once there, you'd find plenty of references to the FAQ for the newsgroup,
more like multiple books about the repair of electronic equipment.
It's at http://www.repairfaq.org

Libraries are also good places to look, they have these things called books
and many a library will have books about repairing electronic equipment.
