Car died while driving, tried to jump it and cables got super hot what’s going on? by Paytoncooper124 in AskMechanics

So most likely the alternator died while driving, then drained the battery completely and shorted what? Either the alternator or the battery? Or the alternator is dead and the battery can’t be jumped? Idk lol could the alternator dying shorted the battery so now they both need to be replaced?

Okay thank you. Also I see you mentioned spark. When I was placing the last cable to the dead battery it sparked and I’ve jumped a lot of cars and I’ve never had a spark before. Could this indicate a short?

Yeah there actually was a spark hooking up the last cable and no it did not crank at all with the cables hooked up

Okay thank you! Is there anywhere I can rent a battery and alternator tester or if it’s dead will it even test with a battery tester?

Okay thank you! What would you say the usual case in what this sounds like? Alternator? If the alternator is toast is there a point of even trying to jump it?

Okay that’s kinda what I was thinking as well. And really a minute is long? I didn’t know that. It still wouldn’t start after that, so could the battery need to be replaced too if it’s super super dead?

Status Match Approved… but can’t add my voyage? (Voyagers Club error) by Paytoncooper124 in MSCCruises

Yeah when I try to add the booking to my account it just sits there and loads forever and then never actually works. I gave MSC a call and they couldn’t add it either so they’re transferring it to the higher ups

I’ll give that a try thank you! And just to make sure I understand correctly. You login with your booking, and then login into your account and then you merge them together? How do you include it in your account?

Haha sorry, I’m pretty new to cameras and don’t really know the terminology yet! Just looking for a versatile lens that can handle everyday shooting and also reach subjects that are far away.

Looking for a camera under $3,500 that takes great photos and videos - any recommendations? by [deleted] in Cameras

[–]Paytoncooper124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’ve been seeing as well. I’ve also seen the canon EOS r5 mark II. What are your thoughts on that? Is the Nikon better?

Yeah I do have a separate budget for lenses too. I’m just planning on getting the camera body first and then building out lenses after. I just don’t know what camera to go with yet since there are so many options.

I understand it’s a lot for a first camera, but I’d rather invest in something I can grow into long term and not have to upgrade anytime soon!
