    CNC milling machine replacement MB

    pm me if you want it repaired. keep in mind that many industrial boards have custom bios. dont lose your original! anca stuff is good for that. wrong bios id will break the software licensing.

    i have seen several newer main relays with cracked solder joints. and older honda pcm's suffer from bad capacitors. open it up and take a sniff. fishy? crud on the leads and on the board under them? if you catch it early replacement and minor cleanup with do. otherwise make sure you have power...

    Alternator condensor-capacitor what does it do

    its for rfi suppression and if its esr is low enough it reduces ripple.diodes do produce rfi. in many sensitive applications each may be bypassed with a small cap. the battery is supposed to handle the ripple though. when ripple is not suppressed you hear a whine that varies with rpm through the...

    Too lean idle

    keep in mind those pcm's were notorious for bad caps. and also some had the rom mask programmed so no editing was possible. who knows how many times this car was modified over the years. sounds like you have it running ok. replace the caps before they do serious damage to the board.

    LED TV's - Are replacement LED strips any good?

    i would assume the aluminum led strips would transfer heat better it the tape is designed to be a proper thermal transfer substance. thats still no guarantee if the leds are poor quality. the set in the picture above has low quality leds where the phosphor has failed. a white led is a blue chip...

    Pennzoil phasing out conventional oil ?

    synthetic will make your engine leak like the exxon valdez. the old wives tale that refuses to die no matter how much you beat it! that and switching will cause the same. if this were true everything i have owned in the last 35 years would have leaked so much that the roads around here would be...

    Panasonic Viera 50” plasma TV problem

    likely the su board. this is the upper y buffer. with the back off its the upper left board. a bad buffer often kills the sc board but sometimes kills just the data to the other buffers. the connectors can be fussy but take your time and its no problem.

    WM Everstart Value 24F

    except the more expensive battery may differ only in the sticker and warranty. that sticker does not improve the battery in any way.

    Optima batteries made by Clarios

    maybe they will actually improve? the premature failures i see are ridiculous. these were not abused either. the cost to service life ratio is bad! see too many gone at 2 years. and the warranty replacement done in another 2. i still have a few usa made ones still good. no matter what "optima...

    No shocker, but a rip-off story...

    tell me such nonsense and you have just shot yourself in both feet. nothing further you say is believable. and you certainly wont get the job! slandering your competition is just plain bad form.

    $39.95 with free delivery. Is this a legitimate place for a Walmart battery?

    never seen a usoffer brick and mortar store. free shipping on a wet lead acid battery? ROFLOL! a real sloppy scam site. but i bet they snag lots of suckers! edit. something else i thought of. it could be a scheme to harvest credit card info.

    Sealed lead acid batteries? Any brands better than others?

    when you replace them measure the voltage as it charges and esp float. had a ups that was hitting 16v in float per 12v battery. they wanted 13.5-13.8. owner of the ups wondered why it killed a set of batteries every 6 months. they were hitting thermal runaway and literally melting.

    Using Mini Cord Online Switch On An Extension Cord ?

    but a space heater will melt that switch. for liability reasons they just say no extension cords as they are expected to support the full 15a of a branch circuit.

    ISOBar expires after being swapped out

    i dont recall ever seeing one fail. that said i replaced all the MOV's in mine for the same reason. they degrade from suppression events. replacement MOV are cheap at digikey and easy to replace. best thing is the units are all metal. so if a catastrophic failure were to occur it would be contained.
