I was more concerned with what potential physical side effects could happen assuming that this circuit wasn't designed for such a situation. But I've managed to strip the piezo disc, leaving it open as in the picture, and so far it seems to be working fine. | |

| Jan 9, 2022 at 1:04 | comment | added | Karol J. Piczak | That's exactly what I did. I've removed the piezo disc. I am only contemplating if leaving an open circuit there could have some residual effects. From what I get from this question: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/297304/… this could be an issue with transformers, but I don't think that's the case with this PCB. However, my electronics knowledge is fairly limited, so I am looking for some confirmation from experts in this area. | |
