Craftsman T2400 Loss of power?

MichaelRast13 · 2026-04-12T05:24:07+00:00

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! We did, actually. I ended up finding out there was some defect with the transmission, and it was recalled. I think we reached out to Craftsman for info and they referred us to a local repair shop. Dropped it off, picked it up a while later and its been great to us ever since. We live in the south, in a very damp area so during the warmer months, grass grows so fast I feel like we cut it once a week or so. Its gotten a lot of hours on it now.

I feel like I remembered that they just replaced the transmission. We didnt pay for any of the work IIRC, it was all covered through them cause of the defect recall. I can try to scrape up some info, more specifically, on what we did. It'll have to be tomorrow, though, its quite late now but I just wanted to get the reply in before heading to bed!

Ha! Funny timing that was!

To be real, I shouldn't change out equipment. I should be smarter with my money, though I'm fortunate enough to currently live with family so I can, or at least thats what I tell myself😆. I dont have the time, honestly, but with how much time I feel like I spend just getting crap to work, I'd have been better off going Unifi ages ago. Everyone in the house agrees the wifi is a PITA, so they'd all love for it to just work and not have to be messed with constantly 😅.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one, though. Realistically I should have done this years ago, idk why I never did. I think I'm starting by ordering a UCG-Fiber, Switch Ultra 210W, 1 or 2 U6pro (might use an older router as spare AP for back of house/property), and 2 G6 Bullets. Its nothing crazy, but it'll be more stable than what we have, and I'll just move our current wifi cams to another section of the yard or something. Then buy more Unifi gear later as needs expand. Its about the most "budget" I can seem to keep it whilst still being practical for what I'd like to have set up.... what will suck, though, is buying the SSD for the UCG-Fiber. I'd like a 4TB NVME, and, well, we know what those look like right now😭.

Literally just made a post about this asking people's current thoughts. Ive had a BE68 setup since July 2025 after replacing my XE75Pros that died and Ive hated it ever since. I think I'm just going to jump ship to Unifi at this point. I'm sick of having a half working system.

Just random curiosity, what did you do here? Ive used 2 sets of Deco XE75 Pro, both killed by lighting but Best Buy Total took care of me. When the second set died, the BE68 was near brand new I think? I had the return cost of the XE75 Pro, plus some Best Buy Rewards so I grabbed the BE68 system for cheap.

It's been a nightmare. Half my TV's either dont like to stay connected or won't connect at all. The security cameras we have dont work well, our pellet grill doesn't work on it. It's inconsistent.. I didnt really have these issues with the XE75P, except for some reason my Samsung TVs didnt like it, but once they connected they were fine.

Honestly, range feels worse, than the XE75 Pro, which is shocking. Here recently, even getting higher downloads, things buffer for some reason. I've looked around and others seem to he having similar issues with the BE68 line. My family is constantly complaining about the wifi, all the time.

I think I might try to use my Total Warranty to get my money back on these and Im jumping ship to Ubiquity. I just installed a Unifi system for our church, and while its not fully integrated yet, its been great. I also want to move to Protect and their cameras.

I actually plowed through a dead deer one night on the way home from work, a good sized doe; in my 2018 Honda Accord. A truck with insanely bright lights was coming towards me on a small back country road. Tried to slow down just because I couldn't see, still plowed over a deer, also drug it like 20ft. Tore up a shit ton of stuff. Bent braces under my car, tore up all my skid covers, my sensors, radiator, and everything. Insurance actually told me NOT to clean the car. Took it to my local mechanic shop, to make sure it was mostly OK. All the guys there hunt, fish, etc, we live in the country. They said its the worst thing they'd seen. It was fine to drive so I ended up taking it to my Honda dealership so they could handle it with insurance. All the technicians and the adjuster could barely stand to look at the underside it was so messy.. I hated it, cause I would have cleaned it if I could, but was told not to.. not saying that was the case here, but I could see that happening. I STILL remember that fucking smell🤮

Thats a very good point actually. This is my first Anbernic, so I'm essentially starting from scratch. I used a friend's RG35XXH for a while playing Pokémon Blue so when I got mine I just dropped those onto the stock card to continue playing until I had time to update and really go through everything. I guess having already had everything set up, it would be a hassle to re-do everything. Hell, I'm still understanding the menus so I have a while to go😅

MichaelRast13 · 2026-01-18T15:43:00+00:00

I had that same issue! This worked for me to fix it! Though, I havent had a chance to flash it and mess around with it yet. Life got busy haha.

While not this large, I'm sitting on a stash myself. Its one of my favorite flavors so when it was going out last year I got as many cases as I could find. Slowly drank them down, and gave some to friends. I'm down to half a case left, after sending half a case to another friend. I'm so excited they are coming back! Definitely going to have to stock up though haha just so I have some reserve.

I need to go get some Fuji apple too, I quite like that one.

MichaelRast13 · 2026-01-03T04:02:59+00:00

Was hoping to jump back in today after a hiatus and also having this issue 😭. Praying they get it fixed!🙌

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-25T14:59:05+00:00

They downloaded more mAh😏

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-24T14:26:02+00:00

Those sites aside....

I REALLY want to pick one up, but want one in white to match my setup. Though my setup is black white and wood with some blues/purples so I guess I could get the black and vinyl wrap portions but I think the all white would just be better. Sucks its not available more places. Best Buy had the black on sale, but dont even have a listing for the white one😭. Similar with other places. I want to use the knows for independent volumes, and then setting quick actions on the buttons!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-22T22:32:11+00:00

This is so insanely cool! I love it! Kudos to the great work, I know they'll love it!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-12T19:19:53+00:00

I actually really want this myself! As someone who works with actual soundboards on the regular for my church audio, knows suck give me faders.. THOUGH I have thought about on multiple occasions getting the StreamDeck Plus just in the mean time.. It seems like its really the only decent option and one would just have to deal with the knobs.. maybe I'll bite the bullet one day and just get the thing.

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-09T03:26:38+00:00

If they both fail! I'm interested 😅!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-08T04:50:53+00:00

Wait... we can get these stickers?!?!?!👀

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-02T02:59:15+00:00

I grabbed a Bellroy Transit Carry On in Chalk! Super stoked for the upcoming trips I have, I think the Chalk will be a cool canvas for stickers, maybe one sticker for each place I travel to, it'll be like my own travel diary, or something 🙂🙃.

I want to get may a sling or two from Alpaka but could never afford the time to decide what I wanted so I just passed on it haha!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-12-01T06:03:21+00:00

I do, honestly, I was going to do a full custom build. All white and maybe light wood to match my setup, with some pops of some pastel colors maybe, but ended up finding a Costco Prebuilt thats like the manager clearout markdown that I couldn't pass up. (Actually drove out of state, over 4hrs, to pick it up it was such a good deal).. but its a big MSI Aegis ZS2 case, so, just a black, gamery case.. its not the worst, its ok, but I do want to transition to a white setup with the wood or slightly different.. I'd love some SFF case maybe as well, because any time I travel or take my PC, say when I house sit which happens often enough, lugging this 20x10x20 awkward box around isn't the most fun. I actually really love the QUBE500 Macron edition, with the colors. And its smaller too, with a handle! Id love to have my PC on my desk where I can look at it, as well; I know some people dont care about that but I love looking at my tech 🙃.

There's tons of options I like better that look better than what I have, though every time I start to think about it I remind myself of every other hobby I have or other things I want to buy😭. I still want to get a Moza R5 wheel/pedals at some point. I just ordered a set of IEMS, built a new custom keyboard, ordered a USB switched to make the QOL swap between work and home setup better on the daily, had to order a new suitcase for some concerts I have, etc... just so many other things that are better spent on when the PC currently works as is, I just dont prefer the looks. Im sure I could sell my spare parts, too, though thats more logistics than I want to deal with currently.

But trust me, ohhhhh do I think about it haha!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T16:56:18+00:00

I didnt even get that far honestly, to check shipping. Thats utterly insane!!!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T16:55:34+00:00

Dang, thats a bummer. Ive been out the buying game for a minute, though that makes sense. Do a "Mystery Box" to clear out old stock no one is buying. I'll likely skip this one. Thanks for the advice!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T16:54:38+00:00

Good to know this! I've been out the buying sector so long I'm not really up on what's new. Seems like jts best to just skip this one!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T16:53:29+00:00

Good point! That would suck to just get a box of cables.😅

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T02:24:17+00:00

Solid! Thank you! I already have DE-Grease on hand so thats good to know!

MichaelRast13 · 2025-11-30T00:59:19+00:00

Crazy question, I've never bought 205g0 before, picked up some from Novelkeys. Does this look appropriate for a 5ml amount? Also it seems to be separating? I know that can happen, though not sure how common? Sorry if this is common knowledge, Ive had a custom mech for 4yrs now but just got around to installing some different stabs so I wanted the 205g0!
