Hello,
My Swing IR headset is outside of warranty period. Recently headset's receiver started experiencing disappearing audio for short intervals and returning. When audio is missing I can still hear radio-like hissing noise on a background which tells me receiver is working.
Then audio completely disappeared and I only hear hissing noise. I noticed that 4 red lights that are normally supposed to be on the fron of transmitter no longer turned on so I think the problem is in transmitter.
Can it be fixed?
Thanks.

I see nobody answered you (yet ) on avsforum, I don't think you are going to get any information on the internal circuit of this unit.
Human Technik distribute Swing --I know because I got a Swing unit many years ago through Scotland,s Social Services for TV listening ,comes with velcro to stick on a small mike to one of my Tannoy monitor speakers I have attached via an old Sansui 70,s amplifier connected to the TV --yes it still works and I just looked at the label on the back .
The one I have is the industrial model built to a higher spec but I cant get a circuit diagram for it although its still working .
To answer your question I don't think you will have access to parts which are SMD although the SS will replace mine if it breaks down.

For attaching to the woofer or if its a ported baffle then just feed the very small mike inside the port .
@duncan2 But why is microphone included? Why would I need microphone if all I use headset for is to watch TV?
Because my unit has a mike input used for hearing problems and is fully adjustable not for basic entertainment.
I do have other inputs available but not used nor connected to the TV.
My amplifier is connected to the TV via my satellite box ( Technomate
TM-7102-HD- T2 Super which is HDMI connected ) .

@duncan2 Now I get it. It's like the last option for audio in case other options fail? Like if optical output does not work, I can use audio output but if that fails I can use included microphone by attaching it to TV speaker.
My apologies if this is too obvious, but... is the power supply on the transmitter working, and delivering clean DC? I've seen bad caps in linear supplies as well as switching power supplies.
+1 dangus - That sounds reasonable to me. In the last few years I've replaced small and medium electrolytics on everything from CRT TVs, flat screens, and DTV converters, even a refrigerator (true story! - saved a two-day wait for a $46 part).
One of the supplies could be 'pumping' - going full voltage to well below - will likely keep the microprocessor reset, as it isn't correct and stable long enough to finish off the reset delay.
Oh, and, those repairs just mentioned -- Service Manual either not available or hadn't come in yet.
This is only safe/possible on the line-isolated secondary side. (I assume you do not have an isolation transformer - another bit of kit to consider for the future.)
Look around in the power supply area (transmitter) for leaked capacitor guts, or one that changes the behavior when you sub another across it -- without removing the suspect, just bend the leads on the substitute cap into a 'bow-legged-cowboy' pose and make contact.
Cheers
