Teardown and on-the-fly analysis of the circuits found inside a Kappa CF15 CCD camera. I got the camera with my Nikon SMZ-2T stereo microscope, that I use for electronics repairs and component identification. The camera was defective and taking it apart really made for a pleasant surprise of complexity and a stuffed enclosure! You might […]

Circuit analysis, reverse-engineering and hacking of a Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Multiradio base station FRGL amplifier. The user Da_Stier from highvoltageforum.net made a deep circuit analysis of the power amplifier, reverse-engineered how it works, built new printed circuit boards to make it run standalone and built a new enclosure for it. Shifting its output frequency
