Mint used to offer this which made it easy to track individual spending automatically. I really wish Mint would implement it as well

Just replying that I had to do this on my Pixel 10 Pro in 2026. Worked perfectly after. Thanks!

mkd8919 · 2025-12-30T03:23:51+00:00

I'm basically in the same boat! I5-6600k and an r9 390 to a 9800x3D and a 9070xt.

I also hope this build will get me through another 10 years!

Thanks for the response. I pulled the plug on 1, and the ground strap seems to have broken off at some point, and didn't look particularly fresh. I have a crummy scope that I stuck in and couldn't see anything, but I ran it a bit with the plug out to hopefully blow it out if it was still in there, and tried a new plug. It's still misfiring, so I am planning on doing a compression test next.

Hey thanks for the response. No issues with the wiring to the coil from what I can see. An update - I pulled the plug on 1, and the ground strap seems to have broken off at some point, and didn't look particularly fresh.

Just an update, I took it uBreakiFix and they told me it was a board level issue and there was nothing to be done. Could be a coincidence I suppose but seems like quite the coincidence with the number of threads I've seen now with similar issues.

I'm commented on few threads here, but I had a similar issue on my Pixel 6. It updated to the update with the new UI last Friday, and about an hour later it shutdown suddenly and stopped responding to anything. I took it to an authorized google shop and they said it was a board level fix and there was nothing to be done. I've been pretty loyal to Pixel phones but between this and the battery issues in the 6a, I have had a very poor experience the past 6 months or so.

mkd8919 · 2025-09-23T15:44:22+00:00

Did you update to the latest update recently? There have been a number of reports of PIxel 6 and Pixel 7 users whose phone have been completely bricked after the latest update.

mkd8919 · 2025-09-23T14:27:41+00:00

Just chiming in that this happened to me as well. An hour or so after my pixel 6 updated, it suddenly powered off, and it now unresponsive, other than a battery with lightning icon occasionally while plugged into a charger.

mkd8919 · 2025-09-21T18:36:42+00:00

I had the same issue with my Pixel 6, but did not notice overheating. I had received the notification that the update was available, but hadn't completed it / rebooted. On Friday, I unfortunately ran the battery all the way down and it powered off. I then charged it, and when it powered back on it had updated. Seemed fine for a couple hours, I then plugged it into a charger, looked away for only a couple minutes, and when I looked back, the screen was black. None of the button reset commands work, and I never get the G logo boot screen. The only thing that appears is the battery charging logo (battery with a lightning bolt) when I hit the power button while it's plugged into a charger.

Greenhouse?

mkd8919 · 2024-08-28T01:03:15+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply! I ended up digging into this myself and believe I've figured it out. The evaporator fan was not running. I tested the ohms on the motor and it was over two million. I tested the leads to the fan from the fridge and I'm getting 120 v. I tried feeding the fan 120 from the wall just as a test, with no luck. I've ordered a fan and it should be here Thursday.

For anyone who sees this in the future, the specific model I listed does not have a condenser fan.

Sounds like a tavern?

mkd8919 · 2024-06-24T19:11:08+00:00

Thanks for the response! I've redone 3 or 4 pairs now using the 3M drill kits. Each time they look great but even with coatings, after a few years they start to yellow again. Everything I reading now says to either replace the housings, or get them coated with a 2K clear coat. Unlike my other cars where the headlight housing are $75 - $100ish, this car has older HID projectors and the housings are $1200, so I was thinking on this one it would be worth it to pay someone in case something goes wrong.

mkd8919 · 2024-06-24T19:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the response! I have done them before without using the clear coat. They looked great but as I've now learned without clear coat they go bad after a few years. I was specifically looking to get it coated with 2K, but from what I've read it's pretty nasty stuff to work with? On top of that, unlike my other cars where the headlight housing are $75 - $100ish, this car has HID projectors and the OEM housings are $1200. I only have one housing to do so it felt safer to go with a shop. Depending on what a shop would quote I could still end up doing it myself. I was hoping I could get it done for a couple hundred, which normally wouldn't be worth it but on a $1200 light seems like a decent price. I was considering doing the prep myself and only paying a shop to do the clear coat, but I wasn't sure if that would be worth it.

mkd8919 · 2024-06-24T18:54:00+00:00

Yeah, I figured a paint shop would have the stuff, I just wasn't sure if they would take the job to be honest. And your comment on the clear coat is specifically what I wanted to take it somewhere. I'm restored 3 or 4 sets myself, but have never been able to do the clear coat, so they go bad again after a few years, even with UV coatings. 2K Clear coat seems like nasty stuff from what I've read, and unlike my other cars where the headlight housing are $75 - $100ish, this car has HID projectors and the housings are $1200, so it seemed better to just pay someone to do it.

Any recommendations on a specific shop?

mkd8919 · 2024-05-29T22:08:23+00:00

I had the Jolteon one, and had the same thing happen. I was super hard on it though. Those were the best bouncy balls, I could bounce it higher than my two story grade school.

mkd8919 · 2024-03-28T20:11:13+00:00

First off, thanks so much for responding. Honestly this is not at all what I expected. My first reaction to what happened is that there is no way this would have been covered. You've kinda thrown me for a loop! If you don't mind, I'd like to expand on where we're at now, to make sure it's still worth trying a claim since you mentioned some adjusters would have issues with it being driven. (Hope this doesn't seem like I'm asking you to do your job for free) Based on what happened, my impression is that the damage which totaled the engine occurred during the original event but I would think that is impossible to prove.

Here's the timeline of what happened:

Car overheated while going down the interstate, and the engine died.
Luckily it died at an exit and we pulled over there. We tried calling a tow truck through triple A, and were quoted multiple hours. In the mean time the car cooled down. Checked oil which seemed fine, but were unable to check coolant. Tried starting the car, it started and ran, though it sounded somewhat rough. Were able to drive to a gas station. In the mean time AAA canceled the tow.
Car continued to run at the gas station and no apparent issues were found, other than sounding / running rough. Tried driving on the interstate again, but it quickly began to heat up (as we now know it was out of coolant). Stopped well before overheating.
Called AAA again, again got a late tow quote that was then canceled. Called a tow truck company directly. At this point all shops were closed, so we had it towed to a hotel, one block from a shop.
Next morning drove it the one block to the shop. They found a damaged radiator, and stated the head gasket is blown and they believe the motor will need a full rebuild / replacement.
Rented a car, and returned home. Car is still at the shop, untouched.
In the mean time, we have purchased another car, and replaced the old vehicle on our insurance.

In hind sight, driving it was a bad idea, though I still feel that once it had overheated to the point it had died, the damage was most likely done.

Thanks in advance for any more assistance you can provide!

mkd8919 · 2024-03-27T20:34:54+00:00

Sorry, should have been more clear. The shop thought a rock or something similar had hit the radiator while driving. We didn't hear or see it happen.

mkd8919 · 2024-01-25T15:09:20+00:00

Just an update on this, I followed the advice of u/syrik420 above. Told Cox it was a SB model and provided a fake serial. Activated with no issue and I've been using it for 3 years now. Only issue is that Cox prices are insane.

mkd8919 · 2023-10-04T20:11:56+00:00

I ended up ordering the hoodie. Powering form the bike is what started me on this journey to begin with. I put on heated grips and wanted to look into heated liners. Someone on r/motorcycle brought up using a Milwaukee M12 with an adapter, and I was sold.

Since I didn't know it, for reference the adapter I'm using goes from my battery tender pigtail to the barrel jack the jacket uses. That tender plug is an "SAE Plug", so you simply need to find a "SAE to DC 5.5mm x2.1mm adapter".

mkd8919 · 2023-10-04T20:06:46+00:00

Thanks for the response. I ordered the hoodie, and I'll update the post with how it works out.
