He suppressed his discomfort and carefully "read" the flow of information in his mind. 0
"The power supply is normal... There are a few cold solder joints on the control circuit board... This IC chip is responsible for logic control; it seems to be fine... The magnetic head drive motor isn't turning, power supply issue... Hmm? It's this voltage regulator transistor that's burnt out! Also, this pressure roller is severely aged and deformed, causing tape jams..." 0
Just the preliminary diagnosis took him nearly half an hour, and he had exhausted a significant portion of his mental energy. He had to stop, rubbing his temples to rest. 0
"Indeed a tough nut to crack! The precision and complexity are several levels above domestic products. However... the principles are the same!" As someone who had encountered more advanced technology in a previous life at a state-owned factory, Jiang Tao was not daunted; instead, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him. 0
For the next few nights, Jiang Tao almost lived in the back warehouse. During the day, he managed the shop's business, and at night, he repeatedly disassembled, studied, and attempted to repair the Sony Recorder. 0
The burnt voltage regulator transistor was impossible to find a replacement for domestically. He tried to use his mental energy to guide the flow of energy to repair the damaged silicon structure but failed! His ability seemed powerless against such semiconductor core materials. He could only look for a domestically produced transistor with similar parameters at the electronics market and carefully solder it in place. 0
The pressure roller was aged and deformed, with no replacement parts available. He thought of his spatial "Part Manufacturing" ability. He removed the worn pressure roller and meticulously "scanned" its dimensions and structure, then found a piece of rubber material with similar hardness and elasticity. Focusing his mental energy, he repeatedly attempted to shape it through energy manipulation. This process was also fraught with failures, consuming a large amount of his mental power before he finally managed to "print" out a substitute that was close in shape and size. 0
As for those hair-thin cold solder joints on the circuit board, using a regular soldering iron could easily damage surrounding components. Jiang Tao had to once again rely on his ability, guiding an extremely weak flow of energy for precise spot welding... 0
He even brought in relevant foreign manuals, checking dictionaries while studying circuit principles. Whenever he encountered mechanical structures he couldn't understand, he would sketch diagrams and consult the experienced Old Master Liu the next day. 0
After nearly a week of hard work and significant time and energy expenditure, Jiang Tao finally restored this Sony Recorder, which had been deemed "foreign junk," to full functionality! 0
When he pressed the play button and a clear, smooth melody with rich sound quality emanated from the speakers, a genuine smile spread across Jiang Tao's tired face. 0
"Done! Although I'm exhausted, this feeling... is absolutely fantastic!" 0
The day after he repaired the Recorder, a young man dressed stylishly—looking like a small business owner or someone from an influential family—walked into Jiang Ji holding an identical Sony Recorder with a worried expression on his face. 0
"Boss, I heard your skills are top-notch? My Recorder... isn’t making any sound; I asked at Friendship Store, and they said it needs to be sent back to Japan for repairs—who knows when that will happen! Can you take a look?" 0
Jiang Tao glanced at the familiar machine and then at the young man's anxious expression; a confident smile crept onto his lips. 0
"Don't worry; leave it to me," he said calmly, his eyes sparkling with the light of a tech enthusiast overcoming challenges. "I know this problem well!" 0
