Part 6/8:
- Direct functionality testing: Employing a new potentiometer that closely matched the specifications but required additional adjustments to function correctly.
Ultimately, the best course of action determined was to open the original potentiometer and attempt to repair it manually. Employing soldering tools and contact cleaners, components were cleaned, and connections were restored to ensure a stable and functional operation.
Final Assembly and Testing
After repairing the connections, the potentiometer was reassembled. Upon testing, it successfully exhibited the desired resistance values, confirming that the mechanical repair was effective.
