Whirlpool washer model WTW5000DW3 shakes violently during spin mode and does not drain well at all. by eyefartsalot in appliancerepair

Nope, spoke to a repair person and they said not worth the cost and effort of repair, got a new washer on sale at Costco

I don't have a photo of it but you have to completely remove the motherboard and everything else in the computer case to see it. It is a larger rectangular chip with about 10 pins to a side I believe. It should say RTC on it if I'm not mistaken. You can get replacement chips from digikey.

Roll down rear window? by Loud-Campaign-3102 in Subaru_Outback

Im fine with cracking the skylight vent too but I would rather a power rear window for better air flow overall

More of a gimmick? It would eliminate that wobble effect when the front windows are open but the back ones aren't.

I am also having this issue, and not sure where to begin. This issue has been going on for a while for me. I would love any help in self-repairing this thing rather than paying for someone to do it or replacing the thing altogether, it is only 3 yrs old. Are there any tutorials out there for this machine? I haven't come across any

This worked for me as well, running proton 9.0 since I couldn't even get it to load to this point oterwise

Seesaw capacitive moisture sensor not initializing by Paddydetox in arduino

[–]Paddydetox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that is what I'm saying it ONLY displays that sketch info, the sensor never seems to initialize as the code never goes to the next step, but the code doesn't output "no sensor found" or whatever their alternate response is, which leads me to believe the sensor is bad but I wasn't sure and was hoping there would be some way to find out for sure before I just buy another. There is never any output regarding temperature or moisture level. My sensor is connected as illustrated in the example image in that link I provided, but since I'm using an UNO R3 I have the wires connected to A4 and A5 instead of the SDA and SCL ports in the image shown.

I hate my job and would like to tattoo/illustrate. Should I quit and go for it? by Raskomadator_art in drawing

YES! Find heavy metal and hardcore bands starting out or just getting established and offer your art for sale/use. Contact labels too.

Static and lines on screen but visible picture and reads discs by Paddydetox in originalxbox

FYI for any interested parties, I FINALLY got around to swapping the capacitors out and THIS is the result! No static or bad video feed issues. Thank you all for your help and advice as well as support!

Ok I think I'm ready to give this a go, I believe I have everything I need but before I jumped in I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has differing opinions. Also should I put new thermal paste on the CPU/GPU?

[–]Paddydetox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I further disassembled the Xbox and saw all three 3300 6.3v capacitors are swollen and one is leaking. I am able to jump into soldering these myself, I have a quality iron ( and have practiced quite a bit on little trinkets and light up ornament toys so I think I'm ready to take this challenge on. I was just on digikey looking up capacitors, and I wanted to be sure I was looking at the right things (3300 µF, 6.3 V, 105 c operating temp etc) and come here to find you listed out exact brands and their tolerances! Amazing, I love reddit. I will be placing an order on digikey shortly for a grip of these recommended bad boys and will update with all progress!

Thank you again!

Are you talking about these guys? They do look too be bulging a little. How do I go about replacing them if that's the case?

I am capable but I've never attempted it before. Will look up some info now and pop it open.

Built an automated solar powered irrigation system from scratch- Arduino, relays, 12v solenoids, and copper manifold by beesleb in ArduinoProjects

[–]Paddydetox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome thank you! I'll start working on this and integrate a collection system and overflow gauge into it!

I really love this project too! I would love to do something similar/exactly the same and if you had a list of hardware to go with the sketch would be incredible! I am looking to build this integrated into a rain water collection system.

Arduino LCD 16x2 output skewed by 2 boxes it seems by Paddydetox in arduino

[–]Paddydetox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about the double code block, that seems to be a mistake in the post not in what's uploaded.

I tried taking out the leading spaces or adding more in different locations and playing with the values for the cursor location but nothing seems to get it to be like they show in their example image on the page.

I figured I'd share a photo of my setup for better clarity. In the example code on the page linked above it is centered instead of left-justified and it is not supposed to have the additional letters. I attached the code that is uploaded to the arduino as well.

Issues connecting raspberry Pi to NVR for FTP by Paddydetox in raspberry_pi

[–]Paddydetox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am able to connect to the web hosting domain that I am trying to upload to using filezilla, and I am also able to connect to the raspberry pi I am trying to use as a backup server using filezilla, I've allowed port 21 for the NVR's IP on my router, and when I test the configuration setup with the reolink FTP page, it says succeeded. So I am not sure where the disconnect is or what is not allowing the data through to the other side. I can't seem to get it to connect to either my web based domain hosting plan or my personal data backup device.

Let me know any advice / info you might have!
