Stern Star Trek Sounds Inoperative- Replace PCM1755DBQ

Video

Summary

Hibler repairs a failed PCM1755DBQ sound chip on a Stern Star Trek SAM MPU board and bench-tests it.

Chris Hibler walks through replacing a failed PCM1755DBQ audio DAC chip on a Stern Star Trek SAM MPU board, covering flux, desoldering, tacking the new chip, and bench testing with a known-good SAM driver board. He notes the board is expensive, making the repair risk-reward marginal, and confirms sound, switches, coils, and flashers function afterward. The video is a hands-on repair tutorial rather than industry news.
