So much for that.

Beh.

After 3+ years, my audio receiver died. I bought it about a day before Halo 2 came out. It gave me barely any trouble the entire time, with DVDs, Cds, radio and games, but one day, I went to turn it on, and it would click on… and off again.

Being persistent, I took it apart today, looking and smelling for anything toasty… nothing. I’m pretty sure the problem’s somewhere in the subwoofer element (where the power goes first before hitting the receiver itself), but even the fuse is looking fresh and new.

So that’s the end, I guess – I don’t have the tools or expertise to go through and test every component on the boards.

Fortunately, my DVD player/CD player has always been separate, so, I can still do things the traditional way – through the TV. At least, as long as the RCA-to-coax cable adapter doesn’t die.

:D

On the other hand, I spent the day working from home, spending some quality time with our new HD camera and the instruction manual. *geek geek*

  1. Kaylee has adopted mine as her new perch. I try to shoo her away; I’m terrified there’s going to be a puff of smoke and the smell of burning cat hair when i turn it on one day.

  2. And how is this “adult content”?

    • And why is this anonymous?

      • Cause I didn’t realize I wasn’t logged in at the time.

        • Oh! :) Well then. :)

          LJ has implemented a new feature (without notice) where by default, when you are not logged in, messages from people whose journals are tagged “adult concepts” will warn you. Same thing if you are logged in but you’re under 14. They have another tag for explicit content, as well, which does the same thing for folks under 18.

          Also, you should be warned that the LJ search feature, by default, no longer brings up explicit pages. You have to change your LJ settings to allow for that.

    • maybe because of a discussion of burning cat hair? do they believe you intend to kill said kitty with the receiver?

      • Hmm, I bet that’s it, poor cat.

        I’d never kill a cat with a receiver.

        Which doesn’t mean I wouldn’t shellack a cat to prevent my allergies.
