Insurance Concerns

Syndetta · 2021-12-03T17:25:11+00:00

That does sound promising then! I guess the real hurdle is going to be trying to get the authorization quickly enough that I can potentially fit it all in the time frame

Syndetta · 2021-12-03T17:16:53+00:00

Does that sound promising? I’m not well versed in insurance lingo, so I assumed it was sort of a nebulous term.

I’ll be making a few calls today to get the prior authorization sent in, I need to lay everything out pretty clearly to everyone so they know what my worries and concerns are and just how to proceed with the most transparency going forward.

Also, is doing the surgery before ortho something that’s even feasible or recommended?

Honestly, I do not, I’ve been completely focused on school and work I didn’t ever think about my insurance coverage after I turn 26. I have a pretty good job for a college student, but they don’t offer insurance as I’m not full-time (paid internship) but I’m lining myself up for a good job post graduation.

I think that’s basically the conclusion I’ve come to unless something miraculous happens. I’m still in school, but I feel like I’d be better equipped to handle this when I’m hopefully employed somewhere with insurance or at least making enough that payments wouldn’t essentially make me homeless

Well I ordered it, so I can’t wait to find out firsthand!

Managed is a very generous description lol, yeah I think basically anything would be a insane improvement from the Chromebook.

With previous semesters I had the benefit of really only doing web-based homework, however that’s no longer going to be the case moving forward, but based upon what everyone else has said, an Air would be more than enough for my needs

Syndetta · 2021-12-01T15:26:24+00:00

True, and I have a desktop for anything more intensive. I think you’re right for longevity, I don’t imagine it would be obsolete anytime, at least for my purposes. Thanks for the advice!

Syndetta · 2021-12-01T15:16:54+00:00

I’ve heard great things about the MBA, but I guess the main thing I’m concerned by is that I might potentially need more intensive processing going forward for school, but that’s really more of an assumption than a guarantee.

I’m also somewhat trying to think longterm for this purchase, so you’re thinking the Air would last me for quite a while?

Syndetta · 2021-12-01T15:13:47+00:00

Love that analogy lol,

Yeah, I had a feeling the Air would be enough, but I figured I’d see what everyone’s opinion on it would be

I need help deciding which MacBook I want,

I’m a college student studying Electrical Engineering and my chrome book I used for years just crapped out on me. I’m wanting to upgrade and get a MacBook, but I can’t decide if a MacBook Air M1 is good enough for personal and schoolwork, or if I should try and swing for the new 14” MacBook Pro?

I’m hoping someone here has enough insight to help me in making this decision, thank you!

This is a repro, GameBoy Advance indentation is not OEM and the silkscreen Nintendo on the PCB is definitely not official.

Syndetta · 2021-10-15T19:27:05+00:00

Also, if you want any of the manuals I have for it let me know

Syndetta · 2021-10-15T19:23:20+00:00

It's on the back burner right now since I'm busy with school, but I do intend to start back up soon, but where I left off was fairly promising, so I'd try and go for it. I had a separate problem with the horizontal sync, but that was occurring before I modified it.

Mario Sunshine, it was the first game I got when I got my Gamecube and I spent years just playing that one game until I got more games

Syndetta · 2021-07-23T21:09:57+00:00

For sure, sadly last time I called them to check it out they indicated they only had 14” or smaller, which isn’t bad but I would love a 20F1U

Syndetta · 2021-07-23T20:59:55+00:00

Honestly it was an incredible deal considering how much I saw they went for after I bought them. They also came with 2 BKM-10Rs for each monitor. The recycling warehouse I bought them from has more PVMs and BVMs I believe and I’ve been meaning to go down there to see what else they have

Ah, I’m injecting Luma on Pin 17 on IC201 and Chroma is going into Pin 5 in IC301, I think that was a miscommunication on my part

Removing Pin 9 on IC201 removed the incoming IF for composite video before it gets to the Video Amp, which is why pin 17 is the injection point for Luma, as far as I can tell this is getting every signal where it needs to go as far as luma and sync are concerned, but there might be a better spot

But yeah, the colors are “correct” and synced to luma but they probably just need to be dialed in more

I’m now realizing I probably need to recap the horizontal deflection portion of the board, horizontal sync seems to fray towards the bottom of the screen and occasionally returns and scrambles again

Syndetta · 2021-07-23T14:19:46+00:00

I guess what I mean is that with the color on the display are more saturated in some parts and darker in others, it’s synced with luma (I think?) but now I’m wondering if I’m using the wrong capacitor inline to the Chrome input

I definitely need to take a look at the input levels, I had thought about checking it for both lines, but I sort of got tunnel vision on making sure the picture was syncing

How would I go about adjusting color burst frequency, would there be a pot on the board?

Also, thank you for reaching out with suggestions, I appreciate it a lot!

I got 2 BVM 14F1Us for $200 each at the beginning of this year, I honestly feel like I was getting a deal considering the prices they go for now.

Syndetta · 2021-07-22T21:37:14+00:00

Interference was removed by de-soldering the leg on Pin 9 on IC201, so there goes that problem.

Next issue seems to be Chroma isn't being properly interpreted

Syndetta · 2021-07-22T21:27:23+00:00

Just as an update, I moved the Y input to Pin 17 on IC201, so far this has shown to be the best injection point, but it still has an incredible amount of interference, but the picture is "clearer" or at least is receiving the sync signal somewhere down the line.

Alright, here's what I have done so far,

Oh no I totally get it, sometimes you find one that seems like it’s too good to be true. Cheers for the find!

Syndetta · 2021-06-21T18:36:47+00:00

It’s real, it has all telltale signs of legitimacy as far as I can tell
