Shure PGX2 Power/Mute Switch Replacement - Handheld Wireless SM58 Transmitter No Power Fault Repair
In this video I show the repair process for a Shure PGX2 wireless SM58 handheld microphone transmitter with power issues. This involves complete disassembly and soldering a replacement mute / power switch to the main board. It's a relatively easy repair if you have reasonable soldering tools and experience. If not I would suggest finding somebody who does to complete the soldering step to avoid any potential damage.
If you have this issue then the main symptom is usually that the microphone will randomly turn itself on and off, mute or not power on at all. The switch may also work only at one side or when pressed hard for example.
The switches are readily available to buy online reasonably cheap (£5~), I purchased these two from eBay so I had a spare to keep.
This process is very similar for most of the Shure PGX2 series of handheld transmitters with this body style.
This is just a quick random repair video I chose to make when in the workshop in the hopes it could help somebody out, This seems to be quite a common problem with age on these handheld mics.

    Hi Nathan. I've had a pair of these mini LED moving head lights for many years, set as master-slave on sound activation (Srun). Having just seen your very interesting video I've now adjusted them differently (added rPan & rTil). Though I really want to adjust or modify the sensitivity so the music doesn't need to be as loud. I've added another amplifier wired to a pair of speakers in the roof cavity immediately above the master unit. Whilst I can clearly hear them inside the house through the Gyprock ceiling, the lights still don't trigger, even with the volume turned to max. I'm now thinking of experimenting with placing a speaker directly on top of the master, or cutting a vent hole through the ceiling, or possibly even rebating the base of the unit into the ceiling... Is there a way to make more sensitive? And do you know where the microphone is? (as I could relocate it into the ceiling by the speakers). I thought an advantage of a second amp would be that regardless of music volume (in the house), the lights would effectively have their own sensitivity via the second amp (as it gets it signal from the preamp RCA connection) Thanks, Brad

    • @bradc4892
      @bradc4892 Місяць тому

      Update; I've dismantled my 'master' moving head and found there's a tiny electret microphone soldered to a PCB... but within the main casing, not externally mounted as expected. Of course this would be sheltered from sound, so I have de-soldered it and will get a larger electret plus about 1m of shielded cable tomorrow. I'll wire it so the mic can be situated in the roof cavity by the triggering speakers. Hopefully this will remedy my issue. If not, I'll need to purchase moving heads with a sensitivity adjustment.

    • @NathanPH

      Indeed! As mentioned in the video and stated in the description this is intended mostly as a interim measure than anything. Like I said I have had it last sometimes for years in the past after adjustment, and other times just a few months. It lets you find out exactly what model laser is in the unit though and gets out of trouble while a replacement is put on order for future/when needed. 😎

    • @donkeytits1
      @donkeytits1 Місяць тому

      @@NathanPH You don't really say that by raising the current is the cause of the reduced life though. You should also have a scope on the RF pin to make sure the eye is at the right level. Also, you fail to mention that laser power is the last thing you should adjust. Focus and tracking adjustments are much more likely to drift

    Awesome job! I appreciate that you went through it totally from start to finish instead of others doing you start here then 30 seconds later it's all apart. I got 4 of these speakers and only tested 3 but all have tweeter problems. Break out the meter and hope that's all with them. Well, out of the 4, 2 of them had the tweeter missing entirely and the other two did fail on the meter. I got them out easy enough. One trick I used this morning was with the black gunk on the screws, I hit them with a hot air gun for about 5 seconds at 200 degrees and pushed the phillips screwdriver in and came right out with no need for scraping. Once the screw is out, you can keep hitting it with the hot air gun and it'll curl right up and easy to come off.

    In my case it was the metal contacts in the plastic piece that were too compressed, so my solution was to take 6 match sticks and sharpen their ends to make a small wedge and then put in the plastic piece and break any excess length. The goal was to make sure both the pins on the mainboard and the contacts in the power supply made good contact.
