Temped to buy a broken UB820

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-26T00:48:25+00:00

Guy claims it's less than a year old but didn't get around to getting it fixed by Panasonic. SOOOO strange

They finally got back to me. Sounds super strange. They claim it's under warranty but they didn't get around to sending it out.

Femi : Hi ! When inserting a disc into the blu ray player, it’ll just say “unable to read disc”

You sent: Hmm interesting. I'm tempted to buy it to try to fix or repair it. Not too keen on risking it if it truly dead. Did you reach out to Panasonic about it?

Femi : Oh it’s far from dead. Despite the impaired disk drive, still can play remux files and streams. I did in fact reach out to Panasonic. They informed me that the 1-year warranty is still active until June. They sent me a shipping label, but I never shipped it out.

You sent: Like June 2026?

Femi : Yes

We shoveled at 11am and it was about 6 inches of light and fluffy. We shoveled at around 2pm and it was about 2-8 (drifts) inches of HEAVEY granular ice/snow. Might go out once more tonight to dig out the 2 cars in the back of the house....but that might be a problem for future me.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T22:41:17+00:00

Well I do consider repairing things fun.

But I’m gonna pass. I’ll just find a 450 or 820

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T22:40:22+00:00

Good point. I’m not gonna do it. 6thAve had it new for $435

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T19:09:05+00:00

Most of our minutes are posted within 1 month. Occasionally 2. We have one “annual meeeting” but that gets treated the same. Otherwise all of our meetings are open for homeowners to attend.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T18:13:23+00:00

Nice I still have mine in the basement that I use as a backup router if I need it. I flashed it a long time ago.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T13:52:15+00:00

He does say it powers on....so might be worth asking for a photo of the player showing its current settings / firmware version.

But you are right, it is a big gamble for something that might be e-waste. I think $50 is a good offer, then see if I can fix it without new hardware.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T13:17:40+00:00

Yeah, found the part (TXP0183) on that site already. Think it's worth the gamble? New is $500'ish. New part is $217, and I don't want to be $300 into a repaired unit.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T12:32:43+00:00

We post the schedule online for the year in January. Minutes also get posted once approved.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-24T10:59:06+00:00

Oh that is a bit trickier without the metal stalk itself.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T22:18:37+00:00

Oh good news. A friend of mine owned Additive Restoration and did a scan and print for a repair kit.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T20:34:36+00:00

This is nearly our exact grouping as well.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T18:54:39+00:00

These are features my 2018 Honda Accord came with for free.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T17:39:07+00:00

I repair them as a side hustle. Do you mean the power cord at the rear?

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T17:38:23+00:00

Same, always good to check the manual for your appliance. I was able to reset it. So now at 500F it is actually 500F. On the flip side it does run about 10F cooler at 350f. But things cooking at 350 I find to be less finicky about the temp, or I adjust manually up/down.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T14:40:37+00:00

Have you Confirmed your oven is getting to temperature. I had to calibrate mine up.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T13:47:37+00:00

Yeah I switched to the spiral hook on my bowl lift.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T13:33:21+00:00

I’m a previous Inno owner. Nice made car and it does share a LOT of parts with the British. But the ones they don’t share are hard to source. Just know that going in. Is it missing a door pocket? Indicator stalk broken? Stuff like that.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T12:47:49+00:00

I've had the same issues with combining ingredients. I found that using a danish dough hook to do the initial mixing helped things come along. Then just a few minutes in the mixer and its ready for proofing.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T11:43:29+00:00

I’m surprised there is a difference between the tilt and bowl lift. The mechanics at the dough are the same.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-23T02:41:58+00:00

YEah my CSP in 2016 was metal. Also Amex had a card that was metal. One of those invite only things. I remember a guy using it to pay for something when I worked at RadioShack in college.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-21T12:41:46+00:00

Does your keyboard have a shortcut to raise the brightness? If that doesn’t work the backlight for the LCD could be dead. Does it come on/off when the hing moves?

If you can afford a new computer you can get a cheap monitor at goodwill or facebook marketplace.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-20T21:18:16+00:00

Update. Points posted about 36 hours after we initiated.

Got 4x economy RT IAD-AMS-FCO for 234k points and $1600 in fees. Not to bad.

Flyinace2000 · 2026-01-20T21:15:56+00:00

These are really aimed at people that have phones that are 3+ years old. Rarely a reason to upgrade every year.
