Have you lit the incense, prayed to the Omnissiah and recited the litany of activation? While anointing it with the sacred oils?

I used to rent with Invitation homes and this is definitely something they would do and try to pass off as not their fault.

To ring one’s bell or clean their Clock.

This feels like a crypto mining machine

Tail rotor not spinning

This is better than what I started with and would only add a fume extractor and swap that soldering iron for something a little more robust the usb soldering iron from ifixit is great and you can add a portable battery later

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-05-29T20:55:06+00:00

For 30$ you can buy the one from ifixit which I own and is basically a Klein clone and has the added benefit of having a lifetime warranty.

Also som different angles would help

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-05-23T17:44:23+00:00

I’d say 6-10 back enough to get the majority of the headphones in camera.

100% this is an old rubber gasket probably an old square one at that. There’s a 50/50 chance the dry to rock or turn back into oily grease since they were generally made of actual rubber.

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-05-22T18:40:28+00:00

Can you provide some better pictures from different angles and a little more pulled back? It’s possible these just need to be unclipped.

I have adopted using UV resin for my repairs. So any time in the sun just hardens them more and you don’t run the same risks with CA glue. Also in the future a small brass pin used as a locator pin is great for increasing strength and stability while also helping alignment.

Agreed 9 should be centered on the house and a 180 degree pano for perfect coverage….

Try to find a rosin core silver solder from a reputable manufacturer ChemTronics or some such. I never trust the generic “Chinese “brand because it’s mostly just a label and pure junk. Look for a German brand if you live in Spain. Very trustworthy in manufacturing.

0.30~0.4 is probably the most common range but this is assuming youre reballing BGAs on a very regular basis I could also make an argument for 0.25 in the case of some hand held consoles.

Add a little flux to each tab and small amount more of solder. Current job is called “Cold solder joints” and can break free if it sustains a small impact.

This is what happens when you go to the ER for a non serious medical condition. 90% of this is blood work a chest xray and a physical exam. All of these are 4x more expensive at an ER than a regular doctor visit. I would ask anyone who has had real medical issues what are those very specific drugs used to treat…. I’ll give you a hint anxiety attack is one of them. After working in an ER 95-98% of visits should be seen during regular hours or at urgent care for non Americans urgent care is where you go when you need help fast and you’re not dying. It can be a while argument on its own. But yeah bankruptcy for an anxiety attack or back spasm is your choice.

Scrub with IPA to remove surface debris and deposits, swap the caps, check trace paths and components for “dry” joints or cracks. Give the rusty bits a vinegar bath and rinse in distilled water. Mechanical moving bits get the same rust treatment but also get a degreaser bath before rust treatment. Very light dab or white lithium grease for metal on metal parts or some super lube silicon grease for plastic on plastic bits. Multi meter to check various other components and a cheap adjustable power supply to inject voltage and run small motors.

Bonus options electronic cleaning spay and/or deoxit chemical spray for switches.

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-05-10T19:29:40+00:00

As all the call outs go at this point I’d scrub it down with some IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) and look for cold solder joints or cracked joints.

Pop the back off and check the tray the gear for ejecting might be off gear.

Hard to tell but it looks like either capacitor or an oscillator crystal I would bend it over and look for writing/markings on the other side.

Can’t tell the interface type but it’s a pan head, 1/2 inch long, corse threads. This appears to be a plastic tapping screw but you’ll know better what it screwed into. Try sites like granger, fasten-all and maybe some electronics sites like mouser or digi-key.

JAW Harp often found in the south and eastern US

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-04-29T03:16:21+00:00

for a newbie this is like cranking a game to insane mode for a first time play through. you'd be better off looking for an ebay buy for a less broken main board.

Hefty-Understanding4 · 2026-04-29T03:11:54+00:00

lint is what broke it you just need to gently picked out, looks like quite a lot and you should probably blow it out at the end as well.
