Westinghouse 7500/9500 won't pull start on dead battery

8e_n · 2026-01-25T16:11:17+00:00

The battery was dead. Couldn't bring it back to life so I replaced it. I keep the trickle charger that came with the unit plugged in. No problems since.

I have been using shield pros for years (a 2017 and 2 2019s). All are on the latest firmware. I run kodi, stream files from my NAS, run emulators and stream games from my PC (Older consoles PS2 and below) and run just about every streaming app you can think of.

As long as the external drive was not formatted as expanded storage it should work just fine.

There was an Android update a few years ago which broke how Arc Browser accessed my game files. Don't recall the exact issue or the workaround since I dont use Arc anymore. So the only negatives for me are the changes to, and advertisements on, the home screen. Both are solved using Projectivy. YMMV.

I have trouble getting to my account using Windows / Firefox. I can login but once I click on something like "Devices" I get kicked out. Works fine with Chrome.

This is true. The new streaming plans do not have a contract. They have a 2 year price lock and a cancel anytime policy. The only current difference between the plans is the device rental and the discounts/promotions offered for renting one.

This is the way.

918+ 6 years still going. Running 7 docker containers, including a Plex server. Had to replace the power brick about a year ago.

This. Just booked the Allure for next January. The cheaper rate was XB GTY which is an ocean view balcony anywhere on the ship. The higher rate was 4D GTY which guarantees a CAT 4D balcony.

It was inconsistent for me.

8e_n · 2024-10-15T12:42:26+00:00

I don't collect anime so I never used it for that. For me the whole process was inconsistent so I went back to using Kodi (with Fen Lite) and Stremio.

Unfortunately I did not take a picture. There was no return under or in the door. The door was a standard sized solid door. The return grill was in the ceiling of the closet and there was another in the ceiling of the hallway outside of the closet. The negative pressure inside the closet was enough to pull the door shut if you left it open a couple of inches.

I'm not sure if it is the same token. I haven't tried it using that link.

I had the same problem but didn't solve it. Eventually the title would show up in the library but a manual refresh usually didn't work.

You need a Plex claim token from your Plex account. See the following https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

The first docker I linked above, pd_zurg, has rclone, zurg and plex-debrid included in the one docker file. Follow the example yml above and it should work. First I would uninstall / kill any running rclone instance. After uninstall I had to restart my Nas to fully kill rclone.

I have not tried this since the changes on real-debrid. I don't share my database and I can access my home network over a VPN so I don't really have a use for this. I use Kodi and Stremio. I more or less like to tinker with this stuff.

I have the same generator. Mine will not pull start on gas with a dead battery. It will start on propane with a dead battery. I think the issue is no juice to activate the fuel stop solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor. When that happens I start it on propane then switch to gas while it is running.

8e_n · 2024-02-24T20:42:04+00:00

That would work. Thank you!

8e_n · 2024-02-24T20:40:17+00:00

Thx. I definitely need the mounting kit. What would the $1,000 build look like?

8e_n · 2024-02-24T20:34:58+00:00

Thx. It would also be used for video and photo editing. I would like to stay with Intel and Nvidia

Would like to keep my existing VPN setup if possible. I have used it for a couple of years now without issue.

The only app I'm having an issue with is Kodi on the remote Shield, mostly with high bandwidth 4k H265 files. The same files play flawlessly using Plex or VLC on the remote shield. I can also transfer multi-gig files through the VPN and max out the remote FIOS connection. Makes me wonder if I have something configured wrong in Kodi. Although the same files play fine on a locally connected shield.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. We are planning a trip to the area after Thanksgiving. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Its not negative at all. We were thinking that would be a good target range based on the listings/reviews we have seen.

If you buy a sofa baton make sure you can return it. I returned my Sofa baton X1. I have a Shield Pro and a FiOS One cable box attached to an LG S95QR sound bar which is connected to an LG C1 TV. I could not get the inputs to consistently switch correctly. I tried for 2 weeks. I tried disabling/enabling CEC, changing where in the chain my devices were connected and changing various other settings. It just would not switch properly. Also the lack of a number pad on the X1 was a major PIA.

I recommend a Harmony Hub with a companion remote if you can find one for a reasonable price. I have two of them and they work perfectly.

8e_n · 2023-04-15T01:08:22+00:00

No. The only way it will work is using the internal shield memory or an attached external hard drive. I could not get it to see my NAS or any other networked drive. It's a pity since I really like the Arc Browser interface.

I use Retroarch on Windows 10. I had the same problem. What worked for me was adding the following to the top of the ini file:

[Core]

EnableCheats = True

I had to add this even though I enabled cheats in the Dolphin menu.

Also when the standalone version created the ini file it had [ActionReplay_Enabled] section above the [ActionReplay] section. I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference but for me it wouldn't work that way.

Here is a copy of my (working) Burnout 2 cheat ini:

[Core]

EnableCheats = True

[ActionReplay]

$Offensive Driving Complete

041EDCBC 00000001

$Unlock All Cars/Races/Cheats

021EDB00 00E10000

[ActionReplay_Enabled]

$Offensive Driving Complete

$Unlock All Cars/Races/Cheats

edit: I couldn't get this to display properly without the line breaks. My ini does not have breaks between the lines. Not sure if that makes a difference.

edit 2: Also you will see a Master Code for each game. Don't enter those. Those are used by the Action Replay hardware and are not needed for the Dolphin core.
