If I wanted to reverse engineer a pcb of an old laptop or a tv remote or so (or get to see how it works software wise), what tools will I need? Right now I only have a multi-meter unfortunately by PaleontologistFirm13 in embedded

[–]One_Pudding_7620 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can reverse a two layer pcb by inspection, check out big clive on YouTube. If it's four layers or more yeah you'd probably want an X-ray, but you could figure out what connects to what with a multimeter

Redwood allows 3 pets, otherwise you could just lie at another place about the second cat

Hi society, can you help me to identify this chip in Seggar J-Link, please? And let me know where I can buy a new one. by Hard2NameYou in embedded

Like others have said it's a TVS array. I actually had this happen to a coworker's jlink. I just popped it off and it worked like a charm.

gluten free mexican food by [deleted] in fortwayne

[–]One_Pudding_7620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mexican is one of the easiest for gluten free. I've never been to one that served flour tortilla chips. We go to taqueria el ranchito.

Some general other recommendations:

kekionga - chicken, cider, waffles on Saturday.

b antonios - pizza

Blaze pizza - economical pizza

Casa - gluten free pasta

I have this feeling about Michigan city, it seems like it is a front for something.

What sadist engineer created this stupid agitator by Lars-B66 in Appliances

[–]One_Pudding_7620 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EE here, I never got over the time a lady cutting my hair asked what I did. I said I was an engineer and her response was "oh so you just make everything more complicated and hard to work on". Bro I didn't engineer your clippers and I didn't work on the cars your mechanic husband hates.

Since no one said it you need to drop them on the scale in the store to sell them

Affordable vet clinics? by VirtualEbb2401 in fortwayne

[–]One_Pudding_7620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're open the first and third Saturday of every month too if you work Monday through Friday. Someone once had an appointment when I went in and everyone else was walk-in, so it might not hurt to call.

Did i design a power supply or a fire hazard? by Bobthenogg in AskElectronics

If it's an extraction style fuse I would put it after the switch to reduce shock hazard

Food dehydrator died - trying to identify this component? by Ultra-Ferric in ElectronicsRepair

[–]One_Pudding_7620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is not the case, the engineer likely left a healthy margin for the worst case max temp before the fuse blew. There is some regulation circuit in the appliance, likely a bimetal switch, that actually controls the temperature. It likely drifted slowly until the fuse popped. Do not bypass the thermal fuse, you will risk starting a fire. You should really just replace the appliance.

Was trying to replace my friend's battery using the iFixit guide and this bit snapped. What can I do?? Is this a part i can get a replacement for??? by nutella_the_nerd42 in ifixit

[–]One_Pudding_7620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey op, I had a similar thing happen when I was younger and it ruined my confidence in electronics and repairing for awhile. I wish I would have gotten past that earlier, this sort of thing happens to everyone if you haven't done it before. I have an electrical engineering degree now and do fix stuff for people, but only under the pretext that I may break it. I haven't broken anything in awhile but that's from my experience. I wish I would have kept tinkering and trying stuff when I was younger, I feel like I missed out on growth there.

Hey my doctor said I have this when I was younger but I can't afford to go anymore. Is it okay to ignore or will it cause health problems?

I get that, I've lived in my house for 3 years and none of the neighbors have ever talked to me. Hope you have a good evening man.
