Auto power off timers
« on: Sun, 13 December 2009, 22:48:53 »
I've got one in an FM transmitter I use every day. It's a Griffin iTrip for Sansa. It's a good transmitter, but I hate the "power off when not enough signal 'feature'".

I'm wondering if I can disable or bypass that timer so it stays on when plugged in. I haven't taken it apart yet bucause I don't want to break it, but I probably will soon.

Am I getting in over my head here?

EDIT:
I took it apart. Pics attached.

I have a Sansa and a FM transmitter from dealextreme that also has this funny feature.  The problem only manifests when not listening to car-friendly music (music with any extended silence or weakness), since I have to make the volume 0dB or +6dB in Rockbox anyhow in order to get a reasonably strong signal.

Yeah that's when it happens to me too.

Rockbox is the best!
