Comment on RIP Creative DDTS-100 by Boris

Wow i found this site trying to find some info on how to repair my DDTS 100 thinking it had maybe a bad component or something but to my surprise after i took it apart the front circuit board was broken in the exact same way yours was. However to my luck the unit was still working but the volume control, speaker selection LED’s and volume level LED’s werent working everything else seem to be ok.

So i took it apart and managed to get the board glued together and solder all the broken traces, which btw took a really big magnifying glass hahaha. Anyways i got mine working within 5 hours of starting and everything works fine.

Makes me wonder why did it break the same way yours did, seems to be like a weak spot on those boards.

The “set-and-forget solution to the problem: http://ifttt.com/recipes/4927 by Alessandro” did not work well for me as it would just add all the calendars records as an RSS feed into one day.

But this on-line calendar: http://www.hipcal.com joins iCal feeds into one calendar that can then be shared, so I would see this as the best “set-and-forget solution”. It might be a bit twitchy with old Google calendar records that were imported from “Nokia OVI suite”, but after a cleanup it seems to be doing a decent job. Outlook sees hipcal feed without a glitch. A slight drawback could be the fact that hipcal syncs its feed once every 24 hours, but I can live with hat…

ColinM
thanks.
I cant believe that I was just about to throw this unit out and then I saw your post.
I haven’t replaced the caps yet but it is doing the same thing. I removed the PCB looking for any obvious issues and didn’t see any. The bulge in these caps is only small so didn’t raise doubt when first seen.
Can’t wait to get my gigbit switch back tomorrow.
Nice one. Thanks for taking the time.
Tony

Dear Colin, I tried you trick using USB cable. It didn’t work. I don’t have IEEE port on the PC (it is here on camera). How to proceed?

Thank you! Is this a one time import, or after this is done, and you update one calendar, will it automatically update the other. Thanks in advance!

Great directions. I followed the materials (including a stabbed finger). A push pin seemed to work better than thumbtacks but great directions. Thanks!

Same problem, two bulged caos, replaced them with the 6.3V parts.
Back in business! Fifteen minutes total to fix the issue.
