Some of you may or may not have been following all my modding adventures but I finally have a failed mod (caused by my own stupidity) that has blown out my subwoofer amplifier on my motherboard... now I don't have a working subwoofer in my laptop (crying shame ain't it?)... the objective was to splice into the subwoofer wires and use it as a signialing device to make my led's pulse to the music. but instead I managed to wire my microrelay inverted backwards and all confuzzled (thanks to me misreading the greek description of the pins).
I want a working subwoofer for myself and for resale value sake later on down the road...
my question is...
should I stop and just be greatful that I diden't fry the whole laptop and see if anybody would want just a cheap motherboard and salvage like 75 bucks outta the thing and buy a replacement on ebay? If I get a new board I will probbably not do any other mods to it...
or
should I use my semi electronic skills to try and build my own subwoofer amplifier (splicing it into bolth the usb power (sharing power with the led's) and the speaker cable (the speakers still work just not the subwoofer)?
I have a hard time giving up... so if you think i need to stop this nonsense then please speak your mind...
