Re: Battery pack for Ivation cordless tool
Thanks dyarker and Janitor Tzap. Images of the Black & Decker packs look similar to the Ivation packs, but I'm not sure. The cordless tool is a string trimmer. I'd have to bring the trimmer into a local store if they would let me try a Black & Decker pack. There may or may not be a Battery P...

Hello to all at Nuts & Volts. I have an Ivation cordless tool with two 20 volt lithium battery packs and one is dead. Battery Pack Model Number: JDB513818 Performed a general Google search and checked Amazon and eBay with no luck. These Black & Decker packs appear when I search for the Ivati...

Noisy Stepper Motor
I purchased a common stepper motor for a project (35BYJ46). A person with normal hearing could not tell you if the motor was on or off. After several weeks of quiet operation it got noisy. As it completes a cycle, it makes a one or or two second noise. It sounds something like a peanut shell being c...

Re: Fully Functional TV is Headed for Junk Pile
When I built a portable cart, I wanted a "bare bones" TV. The reviews for this model said things like, "don't be fooled by the small size, the picture quality is very good." Except for that "Is the input connect to your PC?" message that won't go away, I like this basic...

Re: Fully Functional TV is Headed for Junk Pile
Thanks Janitor Tzap. It's not difficult to find posts about this problem at other forums. The replies usually are "ask someone at LG." I've read a couple of meaningless replies from LG representatives. I've got two of those "really big" TV's that you hang on the wall. I wanted a ...

Fully Functional TV is Headed for Junk Pile
I've got an LG TV that works perfectly, however, it has a problem with no apparent resolution. There are numerous posts on cable tv/satellite forums about this problem. LG technical support has received many customer complaints. I'm posting at Nut & Volts because you guys have technical know-how...

Alcatel Flip Phone - Model 4044C - For Handicapped Relative
I posted about this on a few popular "computer and cell phone" help forums. I'm posting this message here, because Nuts & Volts members probably know more about cell networks than the moderators at those big forums. For many years, I've been helping a handicapped relative. He receives ...

Question About Computer ATX PSU
In this article (and many others) there is a wire color chart for ATX power supplies: https://www.instructables.com/id/A-Makers-Guide-to-ATX-Power-Supplies/ I want to add a switch that will temporarily disable the automatic power-off feature provided on most mobos (motherboards). Just to be clear, t...

Re: What kind of dye is this?
Four years ago I purchased an expensive SUV. The finish on this vehicle is stunning. I return to the dealer every few months for basic service (oil change, etc.). I always apply "The Color Treatment" 24 hours before my trip to the dealer. When I drive into the service garage, several mecha...

What kind of dye is this?
I don't know where to post this question. If you don't have the answer, maybe you can direct me to a more appropriate forum. Many years ago someone added dye to auto polish. The results were amazing. All those ultra fine scratches that make your almost new car look old disappeared. Several manufactu...

Re: Want to Reconfigure IBM ThinkPad
Hello haklesup. IBM (and then Lenovo) stopped manufacturing the ThinkPad a few years before serially connected hard drives. Look closely at the Drive Caddy image. You can see a standard PATA connector. I really liked the ThinkPad design with that Ultrabay . I suppose it's not needed anymore, because...

Want to Reconfigure IBM ThinkPad
Do you remember the IBM ThinkPad? The model I have is in excellent condition. They all have a large open slot called an Ultrabay . Hard drives, floppy drives, and CD players can be quickly installed and removed from the U ltrabay . (See attached images.) I'd like to use my old ThinkPad for a project...

Re: Ink Drowned my AIO Printer
I was happy with the Canon AIO in my home office because I don't use it a lot. You've probably read those articles about the cost of factory ink. I can't remember the exact amount, but if you purchased a gallon of factory ink it would cost thousands of dollars. There are several ink sellers that wil...

Ink Drowned my AIO Printer
Many years ago I tried aftermarket ink cartridges. They were awful. Friends would say, "why are you wasting your money on that expensive factory ink!" My experience with so called "remanufactured" cartridges was terrible. Washed out colors, fractured or smeared print, etc. About ...

Re: Sad Demise for a GE SuperRadio
I tried a substitute speaker and volume control. No change. The power suppy is ok. It's a basic four diode bridge. This SuperRadio has 22 electrolytics and 11 adjustable coils. All of the components are old. The impact from that scrap of wood may have been "the straw that broke the camel's back...
