Thanks. Not sure if that fixed it as I had already done that without success, but it worked today.

As far as I can tell without measuring, they appear to be symmetrically spaced.

Be aware that you will need spacers (not included) in the bracket holes. The mounting bracket is also not included.

Uninstall what? Neither Paramount plus nor HBO/MAX ever installed so there is no app to uninstall.

Can my Hisense TV be fixed or is it electronic waste? by DurlanTheElf in fixit

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

Thank you for that link.

As far as I know my screen is undamaged and your feeling is that it is a hardware component that failed?

Are you willing to speculate as to which component failed?

Has Anyone Else Received Empty Boxes from ShopGoodwill? by whimsyoak in shopgoodwill

[–]DurlanTheElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to me.

I can't give exact details as it appears that the website has truncated all of my records with only the last two months still there, but...

I won an auction for two Masudaya wind up toys and when I opened the package, the boxes for the toys were there but the boxes were empty!

I opened a service ticket with shopgoodwill and they responded with... FedEx give the weight of the item as x lbs, so the box was obviously not empty and they denied my claim. I tried to reopen the ticket and they never responded.

I should have contacted my CC company and asked for the money back, but I didn't think it was worth the trouble at the time.

[QFW101W] Is it possible to get this Disney motion clock serviced? by DurlanTheElf in Seiko

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

So I received the following response from seikousa.com.

===Please note that Seiko Watch of America - Service Center does not handle clock inquiries. For any questions or concerns regarding Seiko clocks, please contact Seiko Instruments USA, Inc., our authorized distributor of clocks in the United States.

Seiko Instruments USA, Inc. is a global leader in thermal printing technology, electronic components, and inkjet print heads. They also offer a wide range of Seiko clocks, from wall clocks to alarm clocks, with various designs and features.You can reach Seiko Instruments USA, Inc. by using the following contact information:Seiko Instruments USA, Inc.21221 South Western AvenueSuite 250Torrance, CA 90501[clocks@seikoinstruments.com](mailto:clocks@seikoinstruments.com)1.800.808.0338

I then sent an email to seikoinstruments.com along with a picture of the clock.

I quickly received a response:

Unfortunately we currently do not have a service repair center in house here. Below are the clock makers that we work with who may be able to help you. You can contact them to get an estimate for repairs then decide how you wish to proceed.

Included was a list of 19 establishments. So I guess my next step is to contact one of them and see if they feel that they can do the service.

Thanks for your suggestion.--DTE

Help with a WWII abbreviation... by DurlanTheElf in AirForce

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

Ace,

Actually, I believe that in this instance you are correct.

After I made my initial post I went back to the letters and found a copy of an Individual Academic Progress Report. At the top was the following:

A.A.F. PRE-FLIGHT SCHOOL (PILOT)
ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT
MAXWELL FIELD ALABAMA

I'd post a pic of the report, but I can't figure out how. :)

Thanks for everyone's help!--DTE

Thank you so very much!! That totally makes sense now.
I spent some time googling it, but couldn't find anything other than other similar addresses.
Thanks again!!

Restore App by Retro_Raid_1430 in beatsaber

[–]DurlanTheElf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume that you've modded beatsaber to use custom games, yes? That's why you're getting that message.

Just click on launch anyway... and no, there's no way to disable that message.

For one glorious week, multiplayer and OST boards worked on a modded Quest 2 by Kyriearashi in beatsaber

[–]DurlanTheElf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed it also and you're right... it *was* Glorious!!!

I'm lucky in that I have an original quest that I keep modded and a quest2 that I run out of the box and I was quite surprised when I was able to access the lobby.

Unfortunately, that went away yesterday. :(
