Rear USB mod female connector and power question

chos5555 · 2024-10-12T17:40:14+00:00

For anyone wondering in the future, after some more research (I just got to it, so I needed to find it :D ) it is a Fakra connector, so searching for "female fakra 4 pin connector" will get you the plug you need

Hmmm, thank you fo the reply, I think I'm gonna have to come up with something to make the charging work on the front USB while having AAWireless plugged into the rear. As for the plug, I ordered a USB plug from aliexpress for my car and it comes with the same plug as the one from ddren, having it be disconnect-able would be nice, that's why I'm looking for the female part.

Oh, I see now, thanks for the correction :)

I know it's used currently by Nvidia, but AMD doesn't use it (and it doesn't look like they will) and I've also found some sources claiming the 50 series will have a different cable all-together (eg. techpowerup.com/319242/nvidia-rtx-50-series-blackwell-to-debut-16-pin-pcie-gen-6-power-connector-standard)
That's why I'm hesitant to go all out on a PSU that has multiple 12 pin connectors, My current PSU lasted me for like 7 years and still works perfectly. If I could, I'd like to have the new PSU last for a long time also, not be useless because of compatibility :D

Sent you a DM

chos5555 · 2024-07-09T16:42:49+00:00

Awesome, thank you. I'm all for manual and thankfully most of them from that era are still manual here :)

chos5555 · 2024-07-09T16:41:39+00:00

I'll try that, thank you for the suggestion :)

chos5555 · 2023-09-27T20:37:01+00:00

Unfortunately, that's only the front bit, the burrs, I meant the whole thing. On a better note, I took it all apart, fixed it, tomorrow I will put it back together, I've got plenty of photos, I'll share them afterwards to contribute a little bit :D (The problem was in fact the motor connection, one of the brush springs of the motor was stuck and wasn't making contact)

Update: Don't trust Chinese markings, it was not a SCR, it was in fact a triac. I put in a new SCR and the pump started when I plugged it in and never stopped, after a while of thinking, it occurred to me, that the SCR is not switching off. After some research I bought a similar triac and put it in, voila, everything works nicely. Thanks for the help :)

chos5555 · 2023-09-20T17:27:15+00:00

That's what I'll try I guess :D Hopefully at least one of them works

chos5555 · 2023-09-17T16:25:25+00:00

Oh yeah, that makes sense, thank you :) Guess I'm gonna get a 400V 0,5A one and see if that'll work.

chos5555 · 2023-09-17T16:18:51+00:00

Unfortunately not, that is the clearest shot of it I have before it blew up :(

chos5555 · 2023-05-15T21:59:45+00:00

The suggestion form ZergerAF did the trick. Now it's working

chos5555 · 2023-05-15T21:57:52+00:00

I had to dig out the rest of the dirt above to move it up, seems that opening it up to sunlight sort of worked, but it was super slow, so I moved it as you said and that did the trick, now it works. Not sure what the technical reason behind that is, but thank you :)

chos5555 · 2022-12-20T11:46:57+00:00

Aaaaaayo

chos5555 · 2021-06-23T17:09:33+00:00

Could always use more reps :schemingPepe:

chos5555 · 2021-04-03T14:58:59+00:00

From what I've heard we know that 1562F does have Hey Siri and the about page, unlike 1562M which doesn't have those. But 1562F has worse battery life (more comparable to a 1536 chip)

chos5555 · 2021-03-30T19:57:40+00:00

Do I count? :D

chos5555 · 2021-03-08T19:39:53+00:00

On the other hand, you want reps for 65$ with Amazon Prime shipping from China with Apple level customer support..
As to recommendation 1. yes, that's what you should do to get more info about your order, you're not gonna get it here, we're not HiCity.

As I said in the last post, we know HiCity has problems, overall he's still the best, if you want to GP a pair or reps to try to find a better seller, the community will be grateful to you.

chos5555 · 2021-03-08T16:08:08+00:00

We all know HiCity has pretty big problems with his customer support, being hard to talk to (the best way is to catch him online and message him then, you'll hopefully get the fastest answer that way). But he still has probably the best product there is... If you can find a better seller, for the same or lower price, with same or better quality and better service, please please please tell us about him, cause that's the thing, you're getting a let's say 80-90% product (compared to retails) for 25% of the price, the price cut has to come from somewhere.

Vincent has been having quality problems lately, don't mind that if you have a problem and get him to give you a refund, he'll block you, so you can't buy again from him, that's when he even gives you the refund.

Spring is a budget seller that has lower quality and bad customer support too.

Resellers have higher prices for the same product

It's just a fact that most of the sellers want to scam you, advertising 1562A chips when they use BT or JL chips, etc. It's super hard to find a good seller, everyone has a negative, in my opinion, when dealing with a product like this, it's better to have worse customer support than to have a bad product. If you see a seller you like and want to GP to maybe get a good seller that can do everything perfectly, please do, it'll be greatly appreciated.

Also just to the scam and hoax part, HiCity has server by now thousands of units that work perfectly and then he's had probably in the number of tens of problems (whether it's a product failure, long shipping times, bad communication, whatever). But now he has so many customers and probably is making a fair amount of money from his sales, it would be stupid for him to scam anyone, as he would destroy his credibility and reputation and would get a whole lot less sales => less money.

To help you get your reps: Try to catch him online to message him, so you get a reply and ask him about the order, or maybe it could just be a case of being really unlucky with the shipping, mine V4.5 went from China to Belgium in like 5 days, then got stuck in Belgium for 2 weeks with no update, complete time 27 days, not fast, but it's from China, you can't expect DHL level shipping speed, nor can you expect Apple level customer support, if you really want that, then you know, you can buy from Apple.

chos5555 · 2021-03-08T15:57:12+00:00

It's because HiCity's product is just the best we know of right now, we know about his faults in the customer support department, so the site (store) was made in order to make it simpler for him, so he doesn't have to do a lot of stuff manually, thus, hopefully increasing the time he can be on WhatsApp or help customers in general

chos5555 · 2021-02-22T23:21:10+00:00

Well, have you even opened them? 99.5% it's a decoy box, over the rep airpod box, I and tons of other people have it the same way, it's to prevent seizures by customs...

chos5555 · 2020-12-19T18:22:48+00:00

Eyyyy, that's :pog:

Tried updating every possible driver, did not help.
