Re: Need help searching for magnets..

I found this company: Indigo Instruments https://www.indigoinstruments.com/magnets/rare_earth/blocks/ Only they are using the Metric Standard. So you'll need to remeasure the magnet in Millimeters to find the right size. Hmmm............... The page I linked to only shows magnets up to 2" X 1/8...

Re: Fully Functional TV is Headed for Junk Pile

Yeah, I would also check for bad solder joints on the LED Driver section. And maybe bad Cap's in that section as well. I haven't seen the flashing issue on LCD Monitor/TV's. But with those screw in LED Bulbs. Instead of just burning out, like a standard Incandescent bulb. The LED's will dim, then re...

Re: Fully Functional TV is Headed for Junk Pile

I have never been able to get much help from ShopJimmy, they keep replying , saying they aren't techs.. maybe they have a forum that i don't know about.. I got a VISIO 55" I'll call it a monitor since it has no tuner, just HDMI and some RCA connectors. Anyway the screen looks like a disco when...

I hope the SPAMHAUSE ip blocker issues have been resolved.

But I have already reported more SPAM!
That has gotten in to the Forums.

New Capacitors Failing while still in the parts drawer........

This is strange issue. I'm working on a old RCA 14" flat screen CRT set. In the vertical section, I find a few Capacitors that have failed. So, I go to my Parts Drawers to get new ones to replace them. Here I find several electrolytic radial caps that are leaking a yellow oil out the bottom whe...

Re: Basic knowledge of PCB board making-FS Technology

Yes, this is an advertisement. If they want to advertise on the website they should contact T&L Publications. Oh, right..... That's going cost them money. Better too just SPAM the website, then pay to advertise on it. If these companies want people to see they're products, or services they are ...

Re: Ubquity Nanostation M2 Troubles

Hmmm............... Yeah, it sounds like a lightning strike did a number on it. {For Testing Purposes.} I'd try shutting it down, and resetting it back to its default settings. Then redo the setup. If you have a portable frequency counter, you could use that to check to see if it is transmitting. If...

www.shopjimmy.com

or submit your question on IFIXIT.
{Though they specialize in iphones}

Only thing I found, in the Operators Manual was on page 21. To return to initial settings: On the remote: SETTINGS > OPTION > initial settings Returns to initial default mode by deleting all optional setup. Once initialization is completed, the TV will turn off and on by itself. When Lock System is ...
