How to bypass volume potentiometer?

Just disconnect the wires from the volume pot's lugs. Connect the two that weren't going to ground together, solder and tape them off. If one was going to ground leave it connected to ground. That should give you full volume.

To find a fix I searched the web and came across a blog with a quick fix.

But once you see how its built, youll quickly understand how its done.

But while the resistance value of a resistor stays the same, you can change the resistance value of a potentiometer by turning its shaft.

It is connected somewhere on the strip between the two ends.

And the resistance between the middle pin and the right pin increases.

For example 100k.

This value is the resistance between the two end pins.

The middle one connects somewhere between the ends of this strip.

The extra resistor is there to make sure you dont destroy the LED even if you change the potentiometer resistance to zero.

Connecting the third pin to the middle pin does not affect the resistance at all.

Some may argue its a bit messy with an unconnected pin, so they connect it like this.

Youll also avoid warnings in some circuit design softwares.

The more you turn the shaft, the more you decrease the volume.

May our GOD bless u dear and please keep on sending me mails.

I will soon be ordering potentiometers so I am extremely glad too have these explanations and circuits.

Or if its a clickable potentiometer it could have to do with the switch.

There is no ground pin, so Im not sure how to respond to that question.

If I cut and strip the USB wire, which wire do I connect the potentiometer to.

But if you want to be 100 sure you can measure the resistance between the two pins.

If it does not change when you turn the knob, then those are the ones to swap.

Now I have to press the accellator nearly to the floor to make it go.

Its so informative giving explanations about resistors, ohms law and much more.

The best part being the community where one every one is willing to help each other understand the concepts.

I am repairing the volume control of my speaker creative 4.1 4400.

Turns out the potentiometer its controller uses is a B50k 50 Ohms 5 pins.

I understand that the three pins are potentiometer pins and other two must be switch.
