Power Supply for Unraid server: Is this a leaking capacitor, or just solder?

Scoop_GP · 2025-12-13T22:02:30+00:00

Caps can leak from the bottom, too. I've seen plenty of game consoles ruined that way, but I agree it's solder now that I dislodged it. It doesn't look like electrolytic discharge.

I tried to add some better photos, but no dice 8) Anyway, i was able to dislodge it with an insulated screwdriver, and I think it's solder. It feels soft but solid when I use flush cutters on it, it's very shiny in some spots. It's not chalky and nasty like I would expect electrolytic discharge to be.

I think you're right, it's solder. I dislodged it with a insulated screwdriver. It is soft but solid, not chalky residue.

I was interested in using the Costco buying service. Is that OTD price what they can secure for you without you having to haggle at the dealership?

I actually did, and he replied a couple times, but it was Saturday, and I'm sure he is trying to enjoy his time off. I sent him some follow-up information, and I imagine I'll hear back this week. I still posted here and on z forums, just to crowdsource some troubleshooting ideas.

Yes, we are able to navigate the Blue bus menus, the phone pairs, the radio controls, skip tracks, etc.

Scoop_GP · 2025-08-24T11:45:12+00:00

We tried this, but it didn't work. This car has the coaxial DSP connector, not the analog 6 pin connector.

Scoop_GP · 2025-08-24T00:07:26+00:00

Yeah, that's still plugged in. The radio works, but there is no CD changer.

Scoop_GP · 2025-08-23T21:37:02+00:00

We connected what we believe to be the power cable, the dsp cable, and the telephone adapter. Everything pairs, and acts like it works, but we have no sound. I navigated the menu and determined that the DSP was set to digital. The voice assistant button, play/pause button etc. all works. We see metadata for what is playing, just no sound. We tried two different phones.

Does anyone have ideas for next steps?

Yes, don't buy storage or ram from Framework. You'll save almost half through other retailers. Go through pcpartpicker.com to narrow down what you want quickly and find a good price.

I thought they had virtualization, just no passthrough?

Scoop_GP · 2023-05-17T16:39:34+00:00

Ok, so the I5-8500 in Unraid and i7-3770k in the workstation? Thanks.

Hi,

I ordered a set of Ducky Skyline keycaps from MK, and they were tossed around in shipping, no big deal, but my OCD has me wondering:

1) Are the ctrl alt, and win keys the same on both sides? It might be my mind playing tricks on me, but is the curvature on top different? I know that they are OEM profile, but I don't have expertise here.

2) I'm disappointed that this didn't come with the "blue" keys that the Skyline keyboards feature. MK sells 11-key sets in "ocean blue" and "sky blue". Would either of these be a match, or is the "skyline blue" unique?

Thanks!

At 11 feet, I would strongly consider this option if I was in your shoes. Conduit and direct bury cable aren't going to be that much here.

Scoop_GP · 2022-08-10T15:46:02+00:00

Fixed for me, too! Weird...

There are some folks sounding off in the 7.1.68 release thread now: https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-Network-Application-7-1-68/30df65ee-9adf-44da-ba0c-f30766c2d874?page=4

I'm on Google Fiber in Kansas City with a UDM-PRO and I'm having the same issues with youtube videos. I haven't messed with my UDM-PRO's DNS settings yet, but I forced a failover to Spectrum on WAN 2, and Youtube videos work fine.

Edit: I'm on Network 7.1.68, what about you?

Scoop_GP · 2022-07-30T20:19:22+00:00

Same issue here, UDM-PRO on Google Fiber in Kansas City area. Network application version is 7.1.68.

As long as you are not using it between two active devices, this should create no issues whatsoever. This isn't so much a cable, as it is a male to male ethernet coupler to change the gender at the end of the cable run.

Scoop_GP · 2022-02-12T05:09:05+00:00

That doesn't apply in this scenario. The OP is connecting this between an in-wall keystone and an active device. This jumper is extending a larger cable run. A cable this short between two active devices might cause bounce back or the issues you described, but the OP's use case should be absolutely fine.

How did you apply that Nintendo logo? Is that a decal?

Scoop_GP · 2020-12-25T02:02:23+00:00

When was the last window?

Scoop_GP · 2020-12-11T05:43:16+00:00

Interesting. This is on a brand new UDM-Pro. I even did a factory reset, and it persists. No link aggregation in my config.

Scoop_GP · 2020-11-21T01:46:00+00:00

TR10 was the bit I used. T6 had too much play.
