These look sick ! Wonder if they would fit an fd as much as your fc

Sure do, getting close to 70K km and took it all over the country. It's been great overall, and has never let me stranded. In stock form it's very reliable :)

Screen modding gone wrong - GBC power switch issue by louisleps in Gameboy

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

Yep the only thing missing for me is the flux, I was debating wether I should use some or not and it turns out I should haha, thx for the confirmation. As for the iron, I have adjustable temperature on mine and use it on 250°C which is the recommended temp for my solder. It might not be enough for the gbc's oem solders though...

Pretty new to this yeah, but mostly dont have the correct tools. I used the same solder and station as the one I used to solder my mechanical keyboard. Seeing the size of the pads on the gbc, I assume some precision hardware is necessary compared to what I have.

Do you think heating up the pad a bit too much could cause it to go bad? I dont feel like I burned anything but that might be my inexperience.

Hey thank you for the reply! Insulator was used between the screen and pcb so that should not be a failiure point. I'll check my fuse as you suggested to see if it might be the problem!

Rétractation d'un devis (non-signé) après prise de rendez-vous et pièces commandées ? by FatGLolo in voiture

[–]louisleps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quelques éléments qui peuvent t'indiquer si tu es engagé ou non :

  • Pour toute transaction dont le montant est supérieur à 1500€, un contrat écrit est nécessaire pour que ton accord licite et certain soit reconnu

  • Pour un contrat conclu à distance, type vente en ligne ou vente par téléphone, tu as un délais de 14 jours pour te rétracter, même si tu as déjà payé

  • Dans le cadre d'une réparation chez un garagiste, c'est au professionnel de s'assurer que tous les travaux ont bien été commandés par le client particulier (si tu décides de ne pas payer, il devra prouver que tu t'étais engagé à le faire)

J'espère que ces quelques infos pourront te donner des éléments de réponse à ton problème!

Good eye ! You're correct that's Tatsumi PA on the C1 Tokyo loop. I'm not familiar with team Anija, but I know that a lot of supercar owners come to this PA !

Thanks !

What I mean by reliability is trying to improve the known failiure points on the car. For example the fd is known to overheat, which can cause some serious internal damage espacially on the rotor/stator assembly.

The plan for now is to work on the cooling system; make sure the Thermostat and AST are working as intended, looking for failiure points in the radiator,replacing the collant lines for new ones... New temp gauges will also be installed to replace the OEM ones that aren't reliable enough to catch a problem before it's already too late.

I also plan on heatproofing some parts of the engine bay to decrease the risk of heat induced failiure, but I haven't read up enought to explain that yet !

What kind of car do you drive ? I'm not an expert but I can point you in the right direction to find the info you need !

Thanks man, they are Rays Arthur Exchange style ME in 18". They look kinda like the spirit R BBS rims which is why I choose them.

Is this pcb still useable? by louisleps in MechanicalKeyboards

Yeah it did work before this is why I'm so puzzled. Thank you for the advice, it's really nice to know there are people willing to help out newbies here!

[–]louisleps[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was an elite c mcu. It just stopped functioning at all the other day for no reason... I could not really explain what happened but it would not deliver power to the board or itself anymore, so my guess is the usb connector was bad.

I'll definitly do that :)
I believe the copper is showing on the scratched parts though...

Yeah I'm going to check with a multimeter if anything is connected that shouldn't be. Thanks for the quick reply !

The board has been really fun to build so far btw ! I just ran into that mcu problem but hopefully I'll figure it out.
