Philips MMS 430 Speaker Volume Control Broken PCB Replaced
These speakers are also been repaired by me earlier for the same problem but I have received this speakers again for the same problem. 
Earlier I have joined the PCB with help of Superglue but it could not hold for long time and I have received again this PCB for repair.
This time I decide to replace the whole PCB. So I have arranged prototype paper PCB universal board 
Now I have removed all the components from the old PCB By marking and making circuit diagram on the Paper. Hence I have de-soldered and removed parts from old PCB. 
By marking on paper I am able to keep the diagram with me for my future reference, so I have prepared a drawing as follows:
Now it is time to rearrange and assemble new PCB with Old Parts 
U can make jumpers by using copper wire salvaged by old “BAD CRT TV YOKE” or “Transformer” wire which is properly insulated. 
After assembling everything tested speakers with DVD and it works as good as new.
Have a good day!

I like your repair job Yogesh.This is not just telling the customer you need a new board. At times you need to improvise. Really excellent thinking.

Allan,
Thanks for your comment, it took hardly one hour for me to complete the job.

Hi Yogesh. It must have taken some time to cut the board but you also managed to copy the original broken board. And you fixed the customers problem. I guess that the original design by Philips almost created this problem by designing a pcb that has a weaker connection. And the universal PCB I occasional also use does have the tendency to break easily too. Instead of used insulated transformer wire I myself often use a wiring pen with special 0.2mm insulated copper wire on a coil for this kind of repairs. But I also use the wiring pen for prototype designs. And recently I bought several coils with insulated 0.1mm special repair wire at Ebay. Etching pcb's with Ferro-Chloride is something that I want to avoid these days. But it takes more time to melt the insulation layer at higher temperatures before the soft solder sticks to it. A CNC machine for PCB design would be nice but will have to wait until they are less expensive.

Sir,
Thanks for your comment. This PCB is poorly designed and difficult to pullout of the cabinet for repair.

Yogesh, Fantastic job repairing an obviously poorly designed product. Sometimes I have to wonder how many design engineers never had any hands-on experiance. That PCB was certainly going to fail. Your repair with a thicker PCB will last a lifetime.

Thanks for your comment. Some time you have to finish the job with the material which you have handy.

Hello Yogesh. It was really a very bright idea although it was time consuming. The point here is that you have managed to find a better solution this time. Good job.

Nice repair! but I've done similar to boards by just soldering insulated wires to the appropriate solder holes to make the connections again if the board doesn't move around that is for a quick repair

Well done Yogesh for thinking outside of the box. It is necessary sometimes to create new parts and you have done an excellent job.

Nice job Yogesh. In cases like this one (but only if the PCB is not broken) I use the “dead man” technique, that is, I scratch the trace foil(s) before and after the(ir) cut point across the foil trace and then I tin it (them) with fresh solder and afterwards I “bury” one (or more, twisted) tinned copper strands above the cut(s).
Best Regards

Good job.....Most people...including myself would probably not do what you did......especially if you are very busy and have repairs coming from all directions.....like I do...but...with some spare time on your hands, this is a very good idea......or it could be done over time if the owner was not in any hurry...but I find most people what there equipment repaired fairly quickly.......You did an excellent job.....keep up the good work.......
Cheers

Hi Yogesh, I love the way how you repaired the equipment and love to see when technicians leave a trace of they works as you did with the complete paper drawing. That shows you have knowledge and patience what is very important in our jobs.
Great work and keep up posting.
My best regard.

Hello. First of all thank you for sharing.
As you can see, I made the circuit, but the LED light is not lit and there is very little sound in the form of sizzling. I will be glad if you help me.

check the Connection properly, On/off switch may be of different type.
as there is no circuit diagram available hence it is difficult to understand the circuit. I am working on the same, Soon i will update some notes on that.

No circuit Diagram available on the net. You can get some idea from the Amplifier Main IC used.

for satellite Speakers You have to gently pull the front plastic frame and you will find 4 screws on the body behind the frame. for Woofer you have to remove 4 screws from the corners and gently pull out the frame...you have to tap it lightly because it is glued...

this type of POT is not available in open market ,instead you can use normal stereo pot, i will update the wiring details in few days..
