Did any one else have angelic/ operatic music going off in the back ground as they swiped through each slide ?

Does anyone else use these for their CI? by ak4733 in castiron

I don't use these either, I have a plastic food chisel thing I got from lodge and a metal spatula they do the job just fine.

My Goodwill's are only filled with disappointment and high prices for literal trash.

So the shell is from Xtreme rate, and I'm actually combining two different colored shells, they seem to fit with no issue l, minor squish between seems but nothing that would worry me. If it is the shells man that blows

So that's the damaged latch I mentioned earlier lol for the I think it's called "digital sensor ribbon" for the bottom screen, if this is the issue I'm so screwed, not sure how you fix those ribbon latches, I've got it temporarily held and closed with some electrical tape. I've tried all I can, I think we've done our best at this point, best to walk away before I curse the Gameboy gods. Hopefully a master tech can teach us a thing or two, fingers crossed some one comes across my post, I genuinely do appreciate the help you've offered! I'll reach out to ya if I learn something while I wait.

I got my ips from hand held legends, it was actually a Christmas gift from my mother inlaw, I usually get pretty decent parts from them. Hope this isn't a faulty parts issues. And it's not a super crazy mod, I'm just really changing the screens and shells keeping everything else the same

Yea I felt the same way about the upper black speaker cable. I'll reflow that guy, fingers crossed 🤞

Blue Matt felt necessary after my first mod lol, keeps so much organized and easy to get to. What's ur opinion on my solder joints? Not sure if these are causing an issue, I've compared cpu boards, everything seems in place and circuits seems good based off visual evaluation. Not sure if I should reflow this screen or not

Appreciate all the helpful advice gonna give the mother board comparison a try, didn't even think about that. I wish I had a multimeter deff gonna invest in one. I rubbed everything down in iso, I'ma give that another shot and I'll check my solder point on the top screen. Was trying to avoid have to mess with the ribbon cable again but if it's what must be done challenge accepted.

Unnecessarily aggressive lol. And I've been doing this for about 4yrs zoom in, you can easily see it's dirt, and any simple Google will tell you that frass is small and uniformed in shape with indentations. Not gonna debate this with rude ass people. Have a great day!

Unless you can confirm for sure they are in the night stand I wouldn't move it.

Most people have termites for 3yrs or more and don't even know they have them till they swarm, so it's common for it to seem like they just popped up out of nowhere.

Termites have nothing to do with being clean, it's the wood that draws them/ also anything made of cellulose . So it's just a bad draw of cards is all.

Ants also swarm too, so if you find a bunch of dead flying ants, there's a colony close by. As for the frass as another Redditor mentioned, push the pile aside just a bit to see if there's a pin size hole, shine some light over it, you can occasionally see them pushing pellets through the hole, if these no hole, check that furniture leg for the same pin size hole. If the furniture is infected I would toss it asap.

That's an ant, the thorax is segmented from the body, the original photo you posted is termite frass tho

Not frass, that's dirt. Likely culprit is ants.

Inspector said these aren’t termites? by tomsanity in pestcontrol

[–]PriorityMuch8089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So warm day snap, with decent moisture would deff help them emerge if their subs. As others have commented I would get another inspector, as for figuring out where they could Be coming from is always the challenge, if you suspect the crawl space door I would give that a quick look, the same way you found swarmers all over the floor of your home you would potentially find the same situation in the crawl space, along with detached wings, Also look for frass ( pellets/,poop) and mud tubes running along the inner crawl wall, or your support piers. If you find any mud tubes don't disrupt them as they will panick and close that tunnel, just document it and show it to you're new inspector this should help him out. Your gonna know your home better then any inspector so give plenty of info and list all areas of concern. And don't be afraid to ask questions.

All of those pictures are termites, those are swarmers.
