I'll show you four (well, technically five) different ways to do it:
1. Muffle the sound, if you just find it too loud.
2. Disable the sound entirely
3. Add a switch to turn the sound on and off
4. Add a volume knob
The 5th option, which is what I do in the video, combines 3 and 4. Options 1 and 2 require no special tools, but doing option 2 without a soldering iron is not recommended.
Here are wiring diagrams for the other options, with links to where you can buy what you need:
Switch
Here is a push on / push off (aka self-locking) switch: eBay
Volume knob
You'll need a 20kΩ potentiometer (labelled as B20K), which you can buy here: eBay
Volume knob with switch
For this you'll need a 10kΩ (or more) potentiometer with combined switch: eBay
And finally, here is the video:
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your article. I used it to open my treadmill, but my model s different, and I have an Icon S900DS and the board looks so different.
Yeah, that's expected. You should hopefully be able to find the speaker at least. It's likely round and black.
