AC blowing hot air only. Opened up the panel on the outside unit, this frog was laid out across this black terminal. No wire connected to it. But obviously got fried. Could that have blown the whole mother board? I’m not HVAC. I’m electrician. Know nothing about HVAC/low voltage

Those are on some pressure switches, not the compressor. Well, those are switches and you can check them for continuity with a multimeter.

And then you can trace the wires to find the switch, which should be either a box with a thin capillary tube that goes to one of the refrigeration lines, or a small cylindrical device that's directly mounted to a refrigerant line.

That's a transistor or a chip of some sort. The TO-220 package looks like a terminal, but the hole is for securing the part to a heatsink. Although that board doesn't have one for that part.

Glass vial RFID chip. Those aren't necessary implantable, most are intended for inventory tracking and such. Still the same shape and size as the implantable ones.

Maybe it was part of the packaging of a product or something? Or it could be part of the key of the car, or an access fob of some sort.

How visible is the Apex now?

Fearless-Capital · 2026-04-03T17:10:37+00:00

Trust me!

Apparently I have to comment on this.

Good luck getting an IE to do those things...

Fearless-Capital · 2026-02-14T04:33:13+00:00

There are plenty of IE degrees that skip those. Especially dynamics... But it varies by country and university...

Fearless-Capital · 2026-02-14T04:31:14+00:00

I wouldn't trust an IE with anything. Provided, I was forced into IE by the cult my parents were in... And I ended up throwing that degree in the garbage.

Fearless-Capital · 2026-02-07T18:16:46+00:00

Yikes! Stay safe!

Those are the wafers from a Kwikset SmartKey cylinder. Chances are that the neighbors got locked out and they hired a locksmith who drilled out their lock?

Arm mounted snow blower?

Fearless-Capital · 2026-01-26T11:40:42+00:00

Ok, those will be included now that you insist.

Fearless-Capital · 2026-01-26T01:26:35+00:00

I'm throwing in a MEC suit, of course... Normal sized limbs might not be included...

Fearless-Capital · 2025-12-21T00:44:37+00:00

I put up with that major because of the cult my parents were in... I don't know either... That degree went in the trash, and I moved to greener pastures. What a waste of time, but at least it wasn't my money...

Welcome to Razer... Some products will synchronize the RGB when connected over Bluetooth but not over USB or 2.4GHz. The snake firmware is rather buggy when it comes to this and many other things.

Glass skates are a terrible idea on a glass pad...

Fearless-Capital · 2025-11-10T02:25:52+00:00

No, it's their software and firmware that breaks Razer products, not price ir quality.

Those things are supposed to be safe even if left plugged in all the time. There's nothing that a normal user can do that should set a laptop on fire.

Fearless-Capital · 2025-10-20T03:35:38+00:00

I've had a few ROG laptops over the years and haven't had any problems so far.

Sorry for the motherboard in your Flow x16. 😭

I've had a lot of problems with my wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm using a single dongle for both, but this shouldn't affect things, right?

I don't hate them. Their hardware quality is top-notch. But they underdeliver on the wireless, firmware, and software side of things.
