I opened up this old watch replace the batteries for the analog watch of this Warner Bros melody memories batch but I put it back together the musical part stopped working. Does anyone has any idea what's wrong with it. I don't know jack about electrical watches. I am attaching pics of circuit here.

P.S. I tried to manually press the metal strip but it still does not works so button is not the issue

The piezo speaker is normally glued to the back cover. You have to close the cover to check if the sound works.

But many times, the music IC is burnt and stops working.

It looks like this:

is not making contact either. Maybe hold it with a stick and see if you get sound (assuming you did without the back); or replace the back, which may make that contact as well as connect the piezo.

      Diy rotary cleaning machine

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      To add to this unusual cleaning idea, there is another type of device whereby the internal spinning parts that move through the fluid are not physically connected to the motor.  The internal whisk is propelled via a magnetic connection, so no damaged gaskets due to solvent contamination.

      This is a method that Jon uses, and has posted a video of performing it somewhere .

      Etachron regulation system

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Did you watch the whole video? Once Alex has set the stud, he first corrects the best error, then checks that the hairspring coils are breathing concentrically, then turns the stud to centre the hairspring between the open regulator pins.  He then checks that the regulator can traverse the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring. A correction is needed, which he performs.  He then reinstalls the balance and re-centres the hairspring between the regulator pins, and verifies that the regulator traverses the terminal curve without disturbing the hairspring.  Finally, he demonstrates how to close the gap between pins.  He then recaps the whole process, fleshing out more detail. If you follow this process, you have correctly set up the regulator pins, and are ready to set the rate of the watch.  If you are interested in learning more about the effects of the regulator pin spacing on positional rates etc, you can read any literature regarding regulator pins. The etachron system makes adjusting beat, centering the hairspring between the regulator pins and adjusting the gap between the pins very convenient, but the same rules that apply to old style regulator pins apply to the etachron system.  This video explains the basics :    I hope that helps, Mark

      Some photos of the angles you are talking about, and the changes you are seeing to coil spacing etc. would be really useful. Part of your problem could be that you are closing the pins too far and pinching the hairspring. Adjusting the pin separation should not affect amplitude. Nor should it change the coil separation.

      Rolex cal. 3135 issues

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Did you try it on a Rolex ref. 16600 specifically? Congrats on the nice condition of the movement in your watch. Even so, remember to check the rotor play or those marks around the main plate may start to build up.
