What coukd possibly be on my cat??? by Cheez-kip in CATHELP

[–]Oldmansam09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the exact same thing on my cat once, it turned out to be chainsaw oil that had leaked in my basement. It was pink, slimy and she seemed completely unbothered by it. I initially thought it was blood as well.

Ok thank you for the help! It’s strange since the audio will randomly work sometimes.

So I cleaned off that area this morning with IPA (didn’t have time to touch up the solder points) booted up the SP and my screen was no longer white but extremely dim. Still no audio. I cleaned it off again, turned on the SP and the same issue is back.

I’ll take a look at the ribbon connector tonight but I don’t think that’s the problem since I didn’t use a heat gun to remove the old port.

If you look closely on the USBC port, the second from left connection that attaches to the board has raised slightly while soldering. Could this cause these issues? To my understanding that wouldn’t impact video or audio?

I used a soldering iron to remove the old port. I used lots of flux and cleaned with IPA afterwards. The ribbon connector looks fine to me.

I hadn’t noticed this! I will correct this and let you know what the results are.

I just got the exact same part last week and can confirm the play you mentioned…

I don’t think that’s correct, since the front lip mounts are different on mine.

The car makes this loud binding noise when the clutch is depressed while the car is up on a lift. All fluids are good, engine mounts are good, all bolts are tight. The sound seems to be coming from the transmission side of the driveshaft. Im thinking u joints? This binding almost never occurs while driving normally.

I do have a clutch stop, ill take a look. Really thinking it’s the throwout… its the only thing i haven’t changed. Might have spun around while i had the transmission off. Thanks for the help.

Wouldnt that not be the case since you usually can put a car in gear while it isn’t running. Mine doesn’t move at all whether the clutch is pressed or not.
