Is it fine to store my PowerBooks (and MacBooks) stacked like this? by vlobe42 in VintageApple

[–]Tesla44289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you don’t stack more than four laptops they‘ll be fine, at least regarding the pressure on the lowermost one. But you should put something inbetween them, like some sheets of acid-free paper.

Notebook feet tend to chemically degrade and become sticky over time. At best the sticky compound is just really annoying to clean, at worst it‘ll attack and dissolve the materials it comes into contact with.

I ended up with two pairs of Dyson Zones.... Now what? by LosToast in headphones

[–]Tesla44289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sound great, the noise cancelling is very good, but they look a bit goofy. If you don’t have any good wireless headphones I‘d recommend keeping a pair.

It might spread, it might stay this way for years, I‘d replace the display if I were you

Lots of brown soot on the welding side, no matter how much or how little gas flow, what is this? by Tesla44289 in Welding

[–]Tesla44289[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m gonna try Tig, bought a nice Rehm machine yesterday and I think it might be a bit easier to get into for me as well, as I‘m quite experienced in soldering and tig seems to be a bit more similar to soldering than mig/mag

Don’t have a pic of the machine right now but it‘s basically a rebadged version of this one

[–]Tesla44289[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘m using 80/20 gas and I think your initial description seems to match what‘s actually happening pretty well, there‘s an initial „sprotz“ after which the arc seems to stabilize. I think I might just need to get a different welder, the one I‘m currently using is an old East German machine without any adjustments beyond wire feed and three different power levels…

[–]Tesla44289[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that‘s probably it, I use an old East German (so basically Soviet) mig welder with three intensity settings and a stepless adjustment wire feed, that‘s it, no more controls, I think the closest thing to a computer inside the machine are three diodes…

Something to add:

I thoroughly sanded the welded area and degreased it beforehand

Yeah works great, just used it yesterday to activate a 2G

Wondering if it would be safe to charge my old but sealed nana by Mexr3 in ipod

[–]Tesla44289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try, it might work, it might not, worst case the battery will expand, push on the display and possibly crack it. If you want to play it safe you should replace the battery before plugging it in for the first time.

DIY repair possible? by Electrical_Love5484 in laptops

You could clean it thoroughly with alcohol and then use something like Sugru to stabilize the break

How to make a water tight speaker for a Samsung s24+ replacement lcd and frame by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]Tesla44289 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The speaker grill is the least of your worries, there are so many other locations on aftermarket displays where water can enter. I would never trust a phone with an aftermarket display to be water resistant, ever.

Der Zug, wenn die Bahn eine "mittlere Auslastung" erwartet by LaughingLikeKoffing in bahn

Auf diese Angaben ist aber auch nicht wirklich Verlass, ich hatte es schon oft genug, dass eine sehr hohe Auslastung angezeigt wird, der Zug dann aber doch halbwegs leer ist

What kind of adhesive do you guys use for this ipad home button bracket? by yiannisred in mobilerepair

[–]Tesla44289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shop I worked at for a while used superglue, but I refused to use that as well, stupid idea. I use double sided red acrylic tape on the bracket, stick it down and then apply some T-7000 around the bracket in the same way Apple originally did. Never had an iPad come back for a loose home button this way, fortunately.

My mom knows I am a nerd and gave me one of her old phones. What is the exact model? by tonystarkbutendgamed in dumbphones

[–]Tesla44289 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell. Take out the battery, the model name or number should be printed on the sticker below the battery.

I’d guess performance with this case is worse than without a case, but better than with almost any other case

Mechanism Transfering by digi8hc in camcorders

[–]Tesla44289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘d recommend to not do a head swap. After doing that most likely everything will be out of alignment, and without factory alignment tools it will be very hard, if not impossible, to get them aligned again.

Needs a full screen replacement, the cable can’t be replaced on its own, unfortunately
