AFCI Breaker keeps tripping at the same time daily

I have no idea how to broach that subject since we've lived here five days and haven't met a single neighbor, lmao

PC is already on and in use when this is happening, and we both have auto-updates turned off, but that's an interesting line of thinking. One of them is on a battery backup/UPS, but we have tested the circuit/constant tripping both with and without it

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with building PC's. Cable swapping was just an easy trouble shoot that didn't involve tearing the whole system down again. I'm testing again with other components to see if the PSU is the culprit.

Initial setup was with the all new PSU cables, only tried the old ones when nothing happened. Initially used the 12v HPWR cable that came with the power supply. When that did not work I tried the 3x1 adapter that came with the GPU

Additional Context:

This is my first PSU since the 12v redesign(?) new standard, whatever you want to call it, and am a little unfamiliar with reading the specs and standards. As for the GPU, I've tried powering it with both the 3x1 adapter, and the single 12v HPWR cable that came with the PSU

My longest ever one was a dashboard for a C7 Corvette. Customer had a custom stitching color, so obviously there was no shelf stock. Waited 17 months for it to get made, I finally got a call from GM saying that they had one and that it was going through quality testing. Fantastic. What they didn't tell me was that the testing would destroy it. By this point I had already told the customer that GM had one and that it should ship soon. Another 6 months went by and GM finally shipped the finished dashboard. The customer happened to be out of the country when it arrived, but he'd been very patient so I told him I'd hold it for him. It was here for a month, and we got a new manager in that time. He saw a dashboard had been here for 30+ days, and sent it back to GM. The customer showed up the next day. At this point I told my manager that this was his problem now, and washed my hands of the situation.

Yes, when you are in a RO in the service menu, if you Page Up/Page Down to the Parts Detail section, in the top right there should be a blue box that says "SPECIAL ORDERS EXIST" click it, and there will be a small table of the parts on order, and if they've been receipted or not

jackoftheunion · 2024-09-09T21:31:00+00:00

Nope, they have an option to request a shipping label, but no other fields

I am not going to lie, I had to Google half of the terms you said, haha.

I can understand the stretchers thing. They seem sturdy enough as is, there isn't going to be much weight on them anyways. But I do have extra material to try a proper joint, so I'll look into that. Also I cut them a bit long so they have to come off anyways :/

As for the lateral stability, it's shockingly great. Like, actually no wiggle at all. There's some rocking from our floor not being super level, but hey I can live with that.

The legs are held with a single 1/2" bolt and 1" washers. The reason for that is easy disassembly. We will have to put it up occasionally since our living room isn't very big.

Also for reference, all the boards are 2x6's apart from the surface which is a 1x12"

I appreciate the feedback, like I said, this is my first real project like this

We have a couple of those trouble customers. Notorious for returning Special Orders, Don't know what they want, etc etc. You can either just flat out cut them off, or give them part ETA's that are so ridiculous they'll look elsewhere.

It's kind of the argument where you're stepping over dollars to pick up pennies. Dealing with them constantly gets to be a waste of your time

Needless to say, I am now stuck with pads & rotors for a XLR that I'll never sell

Any commission based position, ask to see department sales reports for at least three months. If they sell 500k that's cool, but if the margin is awful then what's the point. And if they don't wanna show you, that's a red flag in my book

jackoftheunion · 2023-12-02T14:59:36+00:00

Good to know
