How I repaired my Sound Bar - replaced faulty component

My Vizio Sound bar was restarting on its own, sometimes failing to turn off - all while emanating a high pitched whine.
After circuit analysis and detecting, a faulty inductor was replaced. Frankly, I suspect that this was a predictable failed component; i.e. planned obsolescence - I show clear evidence in the video why this is.
After replacing with a comparable Induction I run the sound bar through its paces with my function generator as a test; which passes!

    I suppose inductors, being low pass filters, would become a prime suspect, since you are getting excessive high pitch noises. Great sleuthing, especially the part about using a magnetic part to induce a response from the inductors. I learnt another new skill today!

    Hello, have you tried to buy just an used or refurbished sound bar and connect with the other speakers and subwoofer? I was thinking to do that since my sound bar is also dead. Thanks for your time!

    Hi Dan. Any idea why my LG SL6Y soundbar goes from full volume to about half after about 15 minutes of use. I don't loose sound entirely but goes down by itself to about half of what it was.

    Hi Dan. This was a very interesting video to watch. Nice work! I have a Denon DHT-S316, I can’t get it to turn on at all. I’m wondering if you have suggestions on how to troubleshoot it because I can’t even do the recommended reset (it literally won’t turn on at all - unless the power indication light has blown or something!) Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I have recently purchased a Q900A soundbar. The audio started becoming muffled all of a sudden (as it’s underwater) after a while of use, when on 3D audio eArc mode. I tried it on another TV (which has an eArc port) in our house and the issue persists. I also tried different sound modes through the Smart Things App, but didn't fix the issue. The malfunction isn't consistent, it's intermittent. Whenever I unplug and plug it goes away for a while, then comes back either after hours of use, or days of use. However, most of the time the sound will remain muffled. Given the above explanation of what the issue is, would you be able to suggest what parts should be replaced? Your assistance on this matter would mean the world to me. Best Regards,

    I have a Samsung sound bar I found in the alley. The screen looks slightly faded on one side, but that’s not really the issue. It connects to the subwoofer fine, but is stuck on “Wait” and doesn’t connect to any device (AUX, HDMI, Bluetooth). Do you think a main board replacement would fix this? I cannot update it because it won’t connect to my phone via Bluetooth, so my only choice is a hardware fix.

    Good afternoon. Help me please. I have LG SL6Y soundbar. Dozens of people have the same problem as me. Every 30 minutes the sound becomes quieter. Only turning it off and on helps. There is no software solution. They say it's due to overheating. There are a lot of complaints. LG doesn't know the reason. A solution has been found. One guy disassembled and installed the fan on the area where it heats up the most. It helped him. Two friends of mine disassembled the soundbar and took out the dried thermal pad. For a whole week in the workshop, the guys found out the following: the temperature sensor was broken. He thinks there is a fire and cuts off the power. Can you try to do something about this?

You didn't just start tearing the engine apart you first checked if there was any gas in it. First 🤗. 🤠. But now it's my question that wall sound at the end that was cycling up and down as you called it. Is that the same type of signal that is sent out from a metal detector that we do not hear until metal detector detects its own wild sound coming back? Thanks
