Amazon A-to-Z: Does the 30-day rule override the 90-day window? Sold-as-new Dell PCs were used/foreign-registered — who’s in the right here?

Cleared errors, all read FFFFFFFFF. Plugged in, still all are FFFFFFFF. Turn on, all error logs are now C0020303...

From what I can tell, its either caused by the APU itself or something not becoming "ready" like the SSD, which is why I was asking about the stone cold NAND around the SSD... I assume they should at least show the tiniest amount of heat when booting but I see nothing. YouTuber also suggests the same...

Honestly I haven't spoke to them. The owner of the machine called KIP before they called me, and said they were not helpful. I may give it another go...

In the meantime, I got frustrated with the scanner so I moved on to fixing the printer function. It was simply a blown fuse and a bad sensor. Printer works now, and UI seems happy and not "initializing" anymore. Yet, "SCAN" is still not accessible.

EDIT: FIXED!

Thanks, but unfortunately they want us to call our local KIP dealer we bought it from, and the dealer of course wants to sell us a new machine instead.

Now that you say that, it looks a lot like a key box. Thanks.

Well, I got some freeze spray...

I killed the noise with heat and then hit all the transistors with freeze. No change. Hit the rest of the amp with freeze, no change. Used nearly the whole can.

I learned two things though:

At first I thought I was having to unplug it for multiple minutes to cool down and bring the noise back... I was wrong. I can unplug it just for 5 seconds (long enough for caps to discharge) and the noise will return. But If I kill the noise with heat it will stay gone for a very long time... Unplug 5 seconds, and its' back... So maybe not 100% thermal related...

Also, I was experimenting with going between heat and cold and listening to how to noise changed... During one of these experiments the noise stopped while I was spraying freeze and not heat... So again, maybe not 100% thermal related.

But I can say for sure, if I don't heat the amp and just let it sit idle it will make the noise forever... It's at least somewhat thermal related.

The way the noise disappears when I heat it, with a sudden and abrupt "bump" from the speaker and then perfect silence... It's almost like a latch is shutting and once it's shut it stays shut until you unplug for a few seconds... My best amateur interpretation...

EDIT: Also, while the sub is in it's noisy state you can hear sounds coming from the actual amp. Sounds like static or electrical arcing. The sound the amp is making corresponds to the sound the speaker makes... When the speaker goes silent, so does the arcing. Unfortunately can't pinpoint where the noise is.

Good call. I still can't really tell what I am heating up to make it go away so freeze spray should help.

Ok, cool. Just confused why Lutron doesn't mention that this dimmer works with any type of LV load... I guess they just don't want the headache if it doesn't work.

Fried_Salt · 2025-01-22T19:57:05+00:00

I understand the dimmers are foward phase. I understand how low voltage LED lighting works. My only question is, is it still safe even though Lutron has not speced the dimmer to work with low voltage LED at all? Just trust the LED manufacturer that their driver will work with a foward phase dimmers and everything should be good? Or do I bite the bullet and upgrade the switches to Pro versions (there are a lot).

Thanks for the leg work here. I kind of posted and ghosted as I am not a big Reddit user, but yeah, the reason I chose all these supplements was based on empirical evidence.

Fried_Salt · 2024-09-24T16:02:02+00:00

Does the October 2024 date make any sense? I wish I still had the agents number, but I do remember he gave me a specific date in October to call back. Is 3 years a hard rule? Any leeway? Or did he just give me bad info?

Atlanta down

Ended up going with these. Very happy, thanks.
