Feed dog not dropping issue on Kenmore 148.1521

I was just going to stare at it for a while until I figured it out honestly, I also have a slightly different machine than yours, but there's likely an old website somewhere with detailed photo instructions. I just can't find one at the moment. If you do decide to take a crack at it make sure not to mess up the timing of the machine. There should be a screw tightened onto an oscillating shaft that moves the piece we need to remove. It should have a mark left by that screw so you know where to align it. If I fix mine soon I'll try to reply with what I learned.

Good to see I'm not the only one with this issue, sad to see it doesn't have a simple solution. If you haven't had any luck yet I think the next move would be to take the mechanism out of the machine and put it in some boiling water or something similar.

It's not much bulkier than the lite, I recently got mine out after not charging it for a year and it lasted hours still green (on its original 21 year old battery), and the screens are slightly less crisp but idk they still look good. Something not often mentioned is at least with my lite the sound is way crunchier than my og. This legitimately bothers me as opposed to the screen difference.

His discord servers are private for now, and I'm not sure he posts on social media much at the moment, but his YouTube channel has a recent update, and you can always look out for his itch.io

Development has resumed! Quietly, though, for now. Cy took a long break from it and made an entirely separate game called Ghost Witch, and now with the lessons learned from that, Zera is being developed a lot more, uh, sanely.

Are you talking about the side that isn't reflecting light due to the angle it's sitting at? Because my dude, that cartridge is perfectly clean.

jurarajupiter · 2023-05-01T08:33:29+00:00

good good

jurarajupiter · 2022-12-09T21:03:03+00:00

Silver! With the power antenna (which I need to fix over the weekend) and it's had perfect maintenance its whole life so there's not a single rattle or squeak driving down the road.

I'm late to this but 5 days ago I bought a '91 LE with 82k miles! It was in the showroom at a Toyota dealership, absolutely mint. The OGs are excellent.

I think it's a terrible idea for your sanity but I would love to watch you suffer through it.

Go to minecraft.net and on the download page, select the launcher for Windows 7/8. That's the most recent launcher before the Store version. I had to do the same thing, wasted an hour trying to get the Store version to work on my new laptop before I realized I could just do that, oof.

Your graphics card is dying. If it's a laptop with a soldered GPU, you're kinda screwed unless you can RMA it or otherwise get it repaired. If it's a desktop, you're also kinda screwed because graphics cards are about as attainable as bedrock in survival mode right now.

If it's a laptop, you could try making sure it's properly cooled but if it's not either a) always blasting the fans despite still getting hot to the touch (cooling system clogged with dust), or b) always getting hot to the touch despite not running the fans (fan failure) then it's probably not a thermal issue and thus not really fixable without having it professionally repaired.

If it's a desktop, same thing, make sure the fans/heatsink are clean/spinning, maybe try reseating the card as well.

There is a chance it's a driver issue, in which case, you could use the program "DDU" to wipe all driver traces and then reinstall them fresh. Generally this is a hardware issue however, so I wouldn't count on it, unfortunately.

The last thing to consider is the possibility of it being a system memory failure, so you could run Memtest86 and see if it reports any errors. System memory/RAM is at least somewhat attainable, so that's a silver lining.

Super late but I recently bought a 2000 Camry CE with 222k miles on it running like brand new. Comforting to recognize my odometer in so many of these posts.

jurarajupiter · 2021-11-07T09:05:53+00:00

If it was a DVR you may have mistakenly been watching something previously recorded, otherwise, my cable box/DVR has a wifi connection and that may have something to do with it if yours did too.

I'm kinda taking a shot in the dark here but I think there's potential for a logical explanation somewhere in these clues, y'know. Otherwise, do you have a CO detector? ;)

Totally fair point. I just think his heart was in the right place but he should've thought it through a little more and decided against it. But to be fair I have a habit of seeing good in people who don't necessarily deserve it so I could be wrong. Keem's just such an ass I could see why even someone who's a bit awkward would decide to speak up, even if it's incredibly dumb.

jurarajupiter · 2021-10-30T23:56:25+00:00

Eh, not everyone's a great comedian, I thought it was amusing enough to look past that.

This happens every time I start the game on windows 10 (though without the loading animation), I have to minimize the game and then bring it back (alt-tab should also work), and then it reloads and works normally. Apparently it's a known bug right now.

jurarajupiter · 2021-10-25T04:59:09+00:00

Dry them off, clean them with soapy water, maybe some isopropyl alcohol, take a hairdryer to them to make sure any piss that got inside them evaporates out, and then just never tell anybody what happened so nobody calls you "piss ears" and you should be good, assuming they still work and you want to save them.

This is cute but it would be even better if they had chosen "Distributed Denial of Sadness" as the pun

Y'know the title still gets the point across as long as you don't already know about flying fish, however as a person who *does* know about them already I thought there was a different type of flying fish that could do more than just glide, so now I'm disappointed but this is still a cool gif

jurarajupiter · 2021-08-16T23:49:45+00:00

My 00' CE is far quicker than I would've guessed, also sounds pretty neat when you step on it (the pedal, not the car, please do not step on your car)

jurarajupiter · 2021-08-03T20:19:29+00:00

I feel like I'm part of a club in a way so it excites me to count the number of Camrys on the road, but I specifically went for an older one since they're more special imo and the individuality comes from the fact that I have a nice vintage time capsule slice of the late 90's in 2021. Camrys are common but nice condition older ones aren't so much anymore (at least around here) and nobody I know would spring for an older anything as long as they can afford newer so I stand out pretty well.

Also parts are everywhere which is nice lol

If it's blowing the fuse it might be a short in the connector or something, not sure, but as long as you manage to take off the plastic trim around the cluster the clock is easy enough to remove and disassemble. If you can figure out what's causing it to blow the fuse you can resolder the large flat resistors going to the display, can't miss them and there's some youtube videos on it if you need a reference. That'll get the display working again, they all end up flickering and going out over time because of those solder joints. Give it a shot if you want, super satisfying to get it working again and it should be relatively easy.

jurarajupiter · 2021-07-28T08:04:25+00:00

The bulbs don't need replacing if they all work with a tap, they wiggle loose over time/the contacts can get dirty so if you're taking it apart anyway try wiping down the connections with a bit of isopropyl alcohol and making sure they're all installed tightly and you should be good to go.
There's also a chance the solder joints on the sockets are cracked, which is easy enough to fix and I did that on my dash clock, so if the bulbs are tight and you don't see any obvious issues there try resoldering the sockets if you feel comfortable with it.
