Hi there everybody! i'm new here and i was hoping to find some help with a soldering-wires problem i'm having. i was trying to repair a stereo 2.1 set by creative called inspire a200 (http://support.you.gr/catalog/17/17E450C2EC2AEA45A353BCD52E4758ED.pdf) because the mini-din9 female port got screwed by accident. the first thing i did was to unsolder the screwed port from the pcb to solder a new one, but since i wasn't so expert with unsoldering issues (and the solder tip was too big), aparently i damaged some nearby pieces of the pcb. my fault. so i searched online for the schematics but i found nothing. i did found however a post in a polish forum, where they cut off the male connector to solder the wires directly to the pcb. i followed some translated instructions and the images and i managed to solder all the wires as explained (in the process i discovered that 2 wires were swapped) and i got the two stereo speakers to work. the problem is that the subwoofer doesn't, and i think is related to another issue: the power switch led on the volume it's always turned on.
as a newbie in electronics i'm thinking that there are simply other swapped wires to find.
there is however the possibility that some other circuitry or transistors got damaged, but i don't have a tester and right now i'm just focusing on getting the wires right.
i'm trying not to spend any money in this because i just transfered i new place, got a new job (can't complain), and right now i have other spending priorities.
in the eventuality that the real problem is board related i will take it to a specialist sometime in the future.
i have little to none competence in electronics and would be awesome if someone cloud help.
thanks
