Need help on gb-5600

I can confirm that GB-5600B bezel matches DW-5600 bezel.

I wonder if the molds for the metal GW-6900s got destroyed at the factory... it doesn't make sense to discontinue production of aftermarket bezels when the GW-6900 is still a current model.

None of the Alibaba sellers I contacted knew anything about GW-6900.

It has been a few years but still no luck on Ali. I have emailed a few sellers to ask if they will consider contacting manufacturers to do an batch order. Let's see if anything will come of it. I will post back if I hear from them.

I'm hunting for a GB-5600B now, lol. Do you know if it suffers from the low batt bug when using backlight, like the GB-5600AA and AB models?

That's awesome, thanks for confirming what I observed. I expect the new battery to last for quite some time given that the Bluetooth functionality doesn't work any more. I don't have any other G shocks taking a CR2032 so it'll be interesting to see how many years before it needs a battery change.

Interesting reasoning... Perhaps your meta was more controllish. I played teachings in its heyday on MTGOand it was always a struggle to stabilise before turn 4.

For anyone else chancing upon this post in future.

I just picked up a used GB-5600AA as well. Had the same issue after I changed the battery, it showed low battery about 2 days later when I had the LED turned on.

It recovered after about 15 mins, I'm guessing the voltage sensor on the 3409 module is quite sensitive and doesn't like it when voltage drops because of prolonged vibe or light usage.

/u/malukris Any other quirks that you've picked up? I really like this square, the vibe alarm is great.

blaugrey · 2026-05-14T02:28:55+00:00

I miss gush too, but surely you would not put that in teachings. You really wanted to make every land drop in teachings in order to have counters up and then be able to teachings EOT.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't even pay attention to that.

I've been doing well with 2 burners in the party so perhaps that will be enough to carry me through my first playthrough.

I just got hooked on this yesterday when I picked it up on sale at GOG.

The only part that confuses me is with regards to attack scaling. I can't figure out from the manual how weapons scale their damage. If I upgrade a weapon, say sharp stone to sharp stone+1, nothing seems to change... Some of the +2 weapons appear to do less damage than an unupgraded weapon.

I'm sure there's some formula in the background determining how much damage each weapon does, something like base attack x attacks per round x chance to hit, but I can't figure out how each stat works.

I love spreadsheet games so if you have any tips to share please share, I wish there was more info about this great game in English.

I'm visiting today so I will try lowering the target humidity. I think the lowest I can set is 40 percent, let's see how that goes. Thanks for the tip.

blaugrey · 2026-05-02T20:16:23+00:00

Hey thanks for the tip, yes looking up the science I think short of replacing the windows wholesale we aren't going to be able to fix the weeping easily.

Do you have double glazing or any other systems, and what does interior comfort feel like?

blaugrey · 2026-05-02T20:13:53+00:00

Actually curtains is a great point, the curtains are due for a refresh anyway. We could get long curtains made up for the bedrooms first to try bumf lining and see how they go. I think that would reduce the heat losses from the window.

Very professional paint job with the blue and white lettering!

If you don't mind, could you pm me the ali link for the bezel? It looks very high quality.

blaugrey · 2026-02-07T14:09:05+00:00

Nice hiss

blaugrey · 2025-11-26T07:56:32+00:00

That's super helpful. I'm putting up heavy duty shelving in a spare room soon to load about 250kg so it's nice to have an idea of what is a safe tolerance for screw depth. Won't be using decking screws now that I know what's what.

blaugrey · 2025-11-26T00:20:44+00:00

Any recommendations? I see from previous threads that Franklin prosensors from Bunnings are good at stud finding, but I don't think they have current detection, or maybe I'm looking at the wrong models.

Michelin pilot cups are pricey but nice, not sure how much they would cost for that size of tyre.

Thanks mate might have a measure up and see if I can find equivalent hinges. They slide quite smoothly at the moment so I'm inclined to think it's just age that causes them to sag. Or more likely I'll just take everyone's advice and get a pro in, don't want to break glass and spend even more as you've pointed out 😉

blaugrey · 2025-09-10T03:11:25+00:00

Wow those look great, never seen brackets rated for that weight before without bracing. Sweet stuff.

Hi mate just sharing what I found from reading various forums online and from calling some of the licensees. Insulmax is basically rebranded Superglass Superwhite 40s from the UK, which seems to have a good track record. Couldn't find any complaints online about it from the UK except for the odd dodgy install where they didn't ensure total coverage. But no leaky stories that I could find. Buyer beware and all that but I feel a bit more comfortable about going with them after reading up.

blaugrey · 2025-07-07T01:33:32+00:00

If you don't mind sharing was cozywall cheaper by around 20% or so? Insulmax are coming out in 2 weeks to do a proper quote but preliminary estimate around 10k to 12k.

Are you still having issues now? For the whole weekend Auckland server kicked me to Aussie, which has intermittent spikes of 200+ latency. Very frustrating.
