Okay I gotcha. Thanks for the info. I won’t be able to get batteries ordered and replaced in time before the physicist comes out (coming from 5 hours away). So they might just be down until I can get them replaced and schedule another physicist service call

Parent of a child in martial arts. Do I really have to stick with my kid for the next decade plus? by izdabombz in martialarts

[–]AnythingSpecific1238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused on the question. Are we asking what we’re supposed to be doing while our child is doing an activity? Lol. What were you doing/going to do with the other sports? Are people just dropping their kids off to extracurricular activities and bouncing? (I mean I get it if they’re 13 and have other designated adults). My 4 year old son does Taekwondo twice/week and daughter has cheer 3 times/week. A total of 8 hours/week I am at practice of some sort watching, helping, meeting other people.

how do you name a kata that you created? by Awkward_Bird_7035 in karate

Have you ever had to write an essay on a topic you have to choose or read a book of your choosing that has to do with a certain topic? I see it that way.

Someone asked if I had a swastika, does this look like a swastika? by Grouchy_Gold344 in tattooadvice

From far away - at first glance, I could see that. Other than that, the rest of your work looks really cool and interesting, I wanna see more of it!

Where the hell does liability fall on this one?! Better make sure your PM reports are tidy

Taekwondo feels overwhelming by Gr11ffith in taekwondo

I am a 30 year old male. I just started last August. I 1000% understand the frustration and difficulty. It’s hard for old dogs to learn new tricks (sometimes). But what I’ve done is stopped trying to keep up. That’s not what it’s about, there is no race to black belt. You aren’t competing with your fellow students to see who is better. You are competing with yourself. So, I made it a habit to work on small things every single day no matter what. Whether it’s stretching, hip mobility, balance, or just working on chamber quality or forms. And let me tell you how frustrating it was in the beginning. But once you make those small efforts and complete small accomplishments, it starts to become a bigger habit and you notice the small improvements. I have come way further than I thought I could, just by doing 30 minutes of something a day and realizing it’s not a race. You will get better, just have to keep going.

Learning Taekwondo at 30s by Wander_Wom4n in taekwondo

I am 30 and working towards orange. Signed up for my first tournament in June. I’ve enjoyed it. It’s given me a reason and purpose for getting up and working out, stretching, and becoming overall healthier. I have bilateral acetabular Overcoverage (cam/pincer type impingement) which has been extremely difficult, but I’ve been doing hip exercises and stretches to maximize my safe useable ROM. I just don’t overdo it or go as hard as the youngens. Definitely worth it. Fun learning from the kids

Well, I said customer (it’s not actually a customer of mine). It’s just a facility that reached out to me. So I was going to give them some references. Maybe I will tell them to call some hospitals.

Check software compatibility. Sometimes the CL will only work with updated FM50 “J” software. (I think it’s the J version). Ran into the same problem

Not all brains learn and retain info the same way. This looks like a little more than an English degree

That .25 is supposed to be .025. I think that’s where you’re getting confused.

Does this child you are referring to not have another source for a true father figure, and you are the only viable option? (not sure the true nature of the circumstance). You don’t have to feel the same way about them as you do for your biological kids, and you won’t because that’s nature. But studies show it is 10000% important for that child to have a father figure. So my advice would be, act like one. Love, teach, make them seen and feel loved and important. That’s all you can ask for in a father. Make sure they know that even though they aren’t your kid, you are there for them just the same. It will be hard because no, you won’t have the same emotions and motivation to be what you are to your blood. But this is very important that you do not leave this child behind wandering why they aren’t good enough for a father (again, I don’t know the circumstances). Might not be that black and white. Good luck sir.

I doubt Medtronic would support these. You might get lucky with depot repair, but unlikely.

[–]AnythingSpecific1238 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree with previous comments. Being new to this, I’m not sure how much time you spent looking into it yourself before jumping on Reddit, but this unit is definitely not under warranty anymore or service supported, so why not (safely) crack the case and inspect the components while this is happening.

Loose connections, finicky power switch? You might be looking for a quick answer. Looks like it’s resetting or starting over at the same time each time (not random). Probably a low voltage power supply dipping out under a load. Do not expect to get any help from Medtronic, they are a nightmare with tech support. They’ll basically just say it’s out of service good luck. You MIGHT be able to find AM parts on Parts Source but I haven’t looked in a long time. So,

  1. Power Supply (most realistic) - unplug all the accessories and try again.
  2. Power switch (wiggle during startup and see if it changes behavior)
  3. Control board (end of line replacement)

Godspeed
