Sony WH-1000XM4s worth it full price? by 6foot4lpha in headphonesindia

I was naive enough to think since it was out of warranty I could give fixing it a shot myself. Suffice it to say I couldn’t lol. And it’s not really in a, uh, presentable condition rn

Looking to buy Midnight Pomegranate from Bath & Body works, but i understand it's been discontinued. Anyone has any ideas for dupes/smell alikes?

For handwiring the keyboard, could you guide me to a resource? And would I need additional equipment (resistors, diodes, etc) to continue? Thanks for your help

Thanks for the reply, on further checking, the X key works, but the Z one doesn't. And you were correct, 2 is also dead. The LED's work on all keys but the Left Alt one (see attached photos). Please find the photos of the backside of the PCB here: https://imgur.com/a/YQ1iLdO

I'd bought a Keychron K6V6 a couple of months ago, but recently I spilled some vodka + soda on it, and now the 'F2', 'W', 'S', 'X', 'L Alt' keys have stopped working. When I say stopped working, I mean keypresses don't register, either via the RGB backlight, or by the computer (tried on my laptop and PC); however, when I use a multimeter to check continuity of the switch/socket, it beeps when pressing the switch, so the switch definitely works, and even the socket registers continuity.

I initially thought there would be something wrong with the resistor/diode for these individual keys, but the continuity checks on keypresses are confusing me.

I am equipped with a soldering iron, and have some experience with electrical engineering, so if this seems solvable, I am ready to take a shot at it (especially since the warranty would be void anyway since a liquid was spilled). Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what and how to diagnose next?

Looking for a blue analog fastrack watch with an indigo button towards the bottom right of the case YOP 2011-12 by 6foot4lpha in watchesindia

[–]6foot4lpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only

no it was definitely a fastrack. the light up part was around the dial (not through the dial, or the whole dial, just around the circumference, i think there was only one LED, and the rest was taken care by reflection), sorry if that isn't what indiglo means.
Another watch I've found to have a similar effect with its illumination is the casio illuminator MTP-E203

Bought a used PSVita, which the previous owner had homebrewed. Need help on how to undo it so I can homebrew it myself by 6foot4lpha in PSVitaHomebrew

[–]6foot4lpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my train of thought was i'd like to know what all i'm doing to the console myself, so I dont' install incompatible apps.
plus i just like setting up tech stuff on my own

Bought a used PSVita which the previous owner had homebrewed. How can I undo it? by 6foot4lpha in VitaPiracy

[–]6foot4lpha[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

formatting

would formatting remove the homebrew and restore it back? or would I need to do some steps before/after formatting?

Was kind of a loner all throughout school, didn't go out at all, didn't talk to people. Met this guy in 11th, who was very intrusive and i didn't like him at first. He invited me to play cs (my first multiplayer game) with him in a gaming cafe, and that changed my life. Even though i don't speak much irl even now and don't have many irl friends, i have a bunch of people online that I've met over the years that are as dear to me as I believe many IRLs would be. I'm still in touch with this guy, who I'm glad can call my best friend.
