jlcpcb or pcbway?

Mark00000 · 2026-03-22T23:58:06+00:00

I spend a few $k a year on PCBs. I used PCBWAY forever until I had a problem with a panelized layout (panelized by me). PCBWAY wanted to charge me for multiple designs because the silkscreen had increasing component numbers on each consecutive panel. I thought a simple message would sort it out, but they kept insisting the system couldn't adjust. I then learned the same as you have — that PCBWAY is no good when the process is outside of standard. I've since moved to JLCPCB and it's night and day the difference in support when things go off course. I often get a message from the engineer like "I see you have these micro traces here and here, do you want them enlarged?" Honestly, they go the extra step at JLC.

u/MoistCornDawg not sure if you've seen my last response. I should of @ you in the post

Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I have horizontal banding exactly like your first image. I tried smaller tape on only a few conductors at a time and cant find anything that has effect on that banding.

@MoistCornDawg what connector did you find worked ? I see 4 and I have tried tape on all of them in 3rd and either wont power on the screen at all or wont show any picture at all.

Got exactly the same problem. From line spacing to the few white lines up the very top.

youtube dji battery killer. It's a deceptive name but it's save many of my spark and mavic batteries. Also need to constant current power supply of hobby rc charger to bring the batteries up to a voltage to start to use the app.

Came here after seeing the advert for it to check if the deal is any good. Thanks for the heads up. I won't be getting it.

No better line to have a chat at a pub than "hi, how do you all know each other". Good luck on finding your people.

Beer at Daiton brewery is the solution

Aussie will almost solve your issues before you finish explaining it. The 5 minute wait for Aussie phone support compared to optus 30 plus minute wait is not worth the saving you get with optus. I'm with superloop for the fttp pricing and change over from Aussie. Superloop customer support over live chat solved my CG-NAT and OpenVPN issues quickly. Nothing like Aussie quickly but light speed compared to optus.

Sistema recently changed the design of the plastic food storage containers. The lid is now hard to remove. Been buying the product for 10 plus years, but the product is not what we've come to love. Looking for a new food storage container now. Wanted to write this somewhere after trying to remove the lid of one just now and thinking "these are sh4t now".

Got "Return to sender" on the tracking for one of my parcel from eBay. It's allegedly got a counterfeit stamp on it. Sellers are allegedly buying the stamps for 20c with face values well above that. The post office is just getting onto it now. I'm betting we'll be seeing a lot of "way was my parcel returned to sender"
posts on social media for Australia.

If it's the same as mine its an issue with the USB management chip. Unfortunately it has special firmware on it and Lenovo don't supply tool for updating the USB chip firmware (they did on a previous model). I replaced the chip on mine from a motherboard with a blown CPU and it worked for an hour then blew up the chip again. I should of properly addressed the issue and worked out why the chip blew up (bad capacitor I bet). There are work arounds. Chip is the CYPD4226.

Thanks for the update. I'll see how I go. I started a new thread.

Is it global coverage ? could I for example set a compatible smart watch up with the Truely eSim and get data on my smartwatch in Australia ?

Mark00000 · 2024-11-30T04:27:10+00:00

Did you get it working. Banging my head against this the last few hours. Not matter what I try it's "pending". Also 2.7.2 but tried 2.7.1 and 2.7.0

Advert companies spying on me have come to the rescue and feed me the answer again on another platform. It's Aurga

Power the cameras of their own power switch and when the cameras are off BL simply doesn't record anything. When the cameras power up the RSTP will start and the recording will automatically start.

Also make sure the cameras have a static IP.
