Maybe I need to just remove the E keycap from this keyboard.TAG Heuer is a well-known Swiss luxury manufacturer of high-precision chronographs and watches. This topic sent me to ebay for a search and as a result, I am now $100 closer to being a millionaire. If you lived down the street from me, you could come over and I would fix it for you.īTW, where are you? I wish there were a forum rule that required members to at least state which hemisphere they reside. The only solution is a replacement movement-most likely found on ebay. It was called a "gimmic" and indeed that is what it was.īut.at the end of the day, if you do not have a soldering iron, nor the skills to use one, you are out of luck. This technique is a hack, but was used often on radios back in the 60's. An alternative is to attach two 30 gauge (or smaller) insulated wires to each terminal and twist them together to get enough capacitance to do the job. Yeah, the oscillator can work if there is enough parasitic capacitance on the board. If indeed, the cap is shorting out, removing it might be all that is required to get the watch working. You could rob a cap from another movement. Modern quartz watches do not use the variable caps, but often time on ebay, you see a pile of old quartz movements that go for nothing. Here is a typical circuit of an oscillator. I surmised that it is probably open, but I could be wrong.maybe shorting. If the capacitor is all "wobbly" it is probably broken. So, what do you do? If it were sitting here in front of me at this red hot minute, I would put the fine top on my soldering iron and re-solder the two connections to the capacitor and see what happens-that is quick and non-destructive. Sometimes this can be just a micro hairline crack. As it could be a broken trace (the copper tracks). Over time, these can crystalize and become inoperative (cold solder joints) but for watches I expect this to be incredibly rare.but who knows. Based on your experiments, I doubt the capacitor is shorting-more likely becoming an open circuit. Here is a diagram of the structure of the capacitor. LOL,TEXAS is awake.woulda been here earlier, but I had to get through today's WORDLE puzzle.
