    Uniden Bearcat BC 760XLT scanner no audio repair

    Got today two Uniden BC 760XLT vintage scanners in for repair.
    Complaint: extremely weak / no audio.

    IC5 TDA1905 is the audio IC. Replace 4 electrolytic capacitors that are in a row next to the audio IC. See picture. When you are at it, change the capacitor for the 8V (7808) as well.

    Easy Saturday evening fix. Time for more

      I agree eccerr0r. Was a perfect Saturday evening repair after a hard week at work. Not complicated, straight forward and schematics to boot. It’s nice to catch a break like that once in a while. Lately it has been everything else but RF and audio to fix.

        you ever see the backlight fail?

        i had a light like that on my tuner fail once - replaced it with one intended for a vcr deck.

        cant do that now, so i'd have to find another way - maybe an led of some type and a defuser.

          Yes, I did. It's just a small bulb. If it would be mine, I'd convert it over to LED. There are some diffused, milky square (cube style) LED's that I use for something like this. They diffuse really well behind displays. Got those from Digi-Key a while back. Then I use a LED driver like an NSI45020 or an AL5809.
