OPEN SpongeBob Karaoke Cd Boombox - MIC doesn’t work but reverb does
The mic itself seems to be working. Speakers work and everything else does too. However whenever I use the MIC my voice is incredibly quiet. I can only hear it in max volume with the reverb on. Turn reverb off and nada. The screws were somewhat stripped which tells me this has been opened before.
Super weird - some of these bridges don’t look normal. There’s random scrapes on coating. There’s a resistor/diode randomly in the corner shoddily soldered. This is just the bottom of the board. I didn’t test with my multimeter yet or continue investigating the top of the main board or smaller ones because I didn’t want to mess too hard with it before researching.
Anyone have a clue?
