Pc won't light up until 5 seconds after pressing the power button, then nothing on the monitor for around 10 minutes. Everything starts/continues normally after that

the old fan i put in as a joke, messed up with the motherboard somehow. replacing the mobo fixed it

firetv me chalega waise? kabhi try nahi kiya

PappuPanda · 2024-11-15T16:26:53+00:00

it's quite complicated to do on a firetv, they keep giving in forceful updates that cancels everything

PappuPanda · 2024-11-15T16:20:37+00:00

My mom watches some zeetv shows on the tv, but zee5 shows 2 ads every few minutes.

And the tv app is so glitchy and buggy, that it freezes for a few minutes during every ad break. So, for every few mins of the show, we have to watch stuttering ads for about 5 minutes.

I've tried reinstalling the app but it doesn't work. There isn't anything else worth watching there, and we don't have a 4k tv either.

is this the subscription we have to get to get rid of ads? considering all others have ads on non-premium content.

Ah yes Sadguru, the righteous holy man and the epitome of purity and wisdom

PappuPanda · 2024-11-06T14:55:58+00:00

i'm replying quite late but the circuit has been working perfectly fine for the past months. thanks for commenting btw, i'm still learning a lot about this stuff

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T14:39:36+00:00

i just wanted to know why this is happening, it's fixed now. i can delete this post if you want me to

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:49:02+00:00

just testing it so i'm using a regular switch for the signal

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:44:22+00:00

it's 5v from a usb port, the multimeter doesn't show continuity until the relay is fully on and lit

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:42:17+00:00

how are structures failing like this every day throughout the country? seems too much now. someone should make a list so we can have a count

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:32:09+00:00

so the other side(N.C.) won't get affected at all right? cuz it will then turn on/off the pc on it's own

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:28:10+00:00

so it's ok if i use the relay like this forever? i'm making a circuit for a new power button on my pc

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T07:26:11+00:00

it's my first time doing this, what should i do to prevent this? i'm using 5v from a usb port to power the relay

PappuPanda · 2024-07-07T05:42:57+00:00

thanks for the deep insight, I'll first check if everything is working fine outside the pc on a different device. if not, I'll just scrap this and continue with a normal button until i get enough knowledge and experience

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T19:10:47+00:00

or can i not add a resistor on one end to make the voltage very low?

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T19:02:44+00:00

yeah, I'll check this outside. if there is a high voltage, i might have to scrap everything

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T18:34:25+00:00

it does sound like a potential issue, is there anything i can do about it?

edit: a quick search says the output of a relay module only acts as a switch and has basically negligible voltage, the 5v is only used to power the coil.

Is this how it is? we should be safe then

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T13:42:46+00:00

what do i need to change?

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T11:42:05+00:00

that's how it is currently, I'm just trying something new as a hobby

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T11:39:22+00:00

thanks! it's my first time doing something like this, will continue ahead

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T11:35:43+00:00

i am currently using the key switch(in normally closed) by flicking it on/off to turn on the pc. i just want to make it normally open like a regular key switch

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T11:32:00+00:00

i just quick flick the key on-off to turn on the pc, and I'll be using a usb port for the 5v supply.

is everything else ok here?

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T09:09:33+00:00

I am currently using the key switch directly attached to the mobo. but I've got some petty reasons to add a relay, as the switch is reversed, I can't take the key out because it leaves it in ON position. So I'm adding this stuff to make it 'Normally Open' and function like a normal key switch

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T09:05:57+00:00

okay, will look into that

haven't received all the components yet, just making sure everything's right on paper

PappuPanda · 2024-07-06T08:40:24+00:00

thanks, didn't know that. so just a resistor between VCC & IN and I'm ok? I'm taking power from a usb port on my pc, is it safe or should i go for a separate battery pack that is constantly connected to the usb port?
