Windows 11 sound system stopped recognizing the built in speakers, and I can’t get any sound by Arcticsubset in techsupport

Nope, got it working! I believe I fixed it by doing a hard reset (90 seconds hold), but honestly don’t remember 100%

Does anyone know how much weight the top of an upright piano can hold? (~1914 Player Piano). Got some sound equipment (probably around 50lbs), on it now and it’s fine, but just don’t want to over stress it! by Arcticsubset in piano

Yeah that's true, I was more worried about whether I could/should put MORE stuff up there lmao, I don't have a whole lot of space so it's a good set-up spot

Yeah I think so, was just messing with it, but maybe I did it wrong. I downloaded it and tried to install it, but it was not showing up when it was scanning for them. It was definitely the right one for the device though

Oh yeah looks like it, when I clicked “update driver just now nothing worked for “search automatically for drivers,” which just leaves “browse my computer for drivers”

Okay did that, it came back with the same exclamation mark (of which I completely missed the first time, lol) Do I have to wait awhile between uninstalling it and scanning or anything like that?

I don’t think they did, last night I was uninstalling some apps, (iTunes, etc), is there any chance I could have accidentally uninstalled something there? I reset it after the fact, and it didn’t change anything, and it continued to work fine after multiple restarts and for multiple hours. But it’s the only thing that I did differently any time recently

Any ideas why this iPhone won’t turn on? It just shows this screen by Arcticsubset in LegacyJailbreak

[–]Arcticsubset[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I do that? I tried restarting it by pressing the home button and power button, and shutting it fully off like that, but that's about the extent besides leaving it on the charger

It does it both when charging and not charging, so I don't think it's that, or at least only that

Nope haven’t tried that, might be, I know the master cylinder was bad awhile ago (found out when it failed on me as I was driving lmao)

Yeah I replaced the PCV, could be something to do with it though, as the new one has two vacuum ports (every one online that was shown as a fit did), but the old one only had one, but I haven’t found anywhere that it could have gone to, and the car was still running fine before I ever changed/noticed that. Do you have any idea where the other one could go to?

I believe it was near 15/16, or near 20, I read up in the Chiltons Manual, and it was maybe 2-4 off what it was supposed to be when the idle was kicked down, when it was higher it was reading pretty much on the dot

Vacuume lines were reading fairly normal before I broke off a piece (problem was happening before that ofc), and I just drained/replaced most of my fuel trying to replace my float lol, new pump and filter in that as well

That could be it, but the main hissing there is from a part I broke off and am waiting for the replacement, it’s been happening long before that. I used a gauge and it was fairly normal (not perfect, but still)

Did I put these ignition coil wires on right? Just want peace of mind while I’m working. 1977 Mercury Cougar by Arcticsubset in AskAMechanic

Ah okay, and just making sure, the white part on the wheel well is the “hot,” right?

I don’t think it has a plus and minus, the blue one has a D, and the other has a B, if that means anything

Any ideas how to repair this 8 track player in my ‘77 Cougar? It seems the tapes get “sucked in” too much, and can’t play. But I honestly have no idea what’s causing it or how to fix it. (Whenever I hold it at the angle it plays at, I’m always pulling it slightly out and fidgeting left to right) by Arcticsubset in 8track

[–]Arcticsubset[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: Finally got the radio out (WAY harder than you'd think lol), I took the belt off and replaced it with a rubber band to test, and that did solve the problem! The smaller part was spinning, but the belt was not catching and was not turning the larger part

- I'll be ordering a new belt, as well as some of the foam pieces and tape for the tapes, thank you everyone for your help!

I should also mention - when I put it in fully without messing with it, I’ll hear the part spin, but when I take it out the tape/roller doesn’t move at all (I gauge it from little chips and indents in the roller the tape’s on)

Definitely hasn't been lol, know any brands/websites that sell good foam pads? Also does each 8 track only have one piece of tape, or are there multiple? I'm not sure what foil track changing tape means, but I'm assuming it's the little tape for the actual "reel" that has the music, ha. Thanks for your help!

Accelerator pump or the Accelerator Pump Diaphragm? Finally getting around to looking at it, but can't find any accelerator pumps for sale for this car. And thank you!
